Random TV Babbling
Yes, it has been a long time since I've reviewed a television show here. That's because I've lost interest in most television shows. But I recently decided to look back at a few I've given up to see if they were any better now.
House M.D. -- Is really much the same, except for the House/Cuddy cuddling, which I find less disturbing now that it has moved away from so much OCC mushiness. However, I am not a mushy Cuddy fan and I find I don't believe them as a couple the way I thought I would. So, not sure if I will start watching House again.
Supernatural -- We are back to the brotherly love at long last. And I like it. But they have turned in a couple of dog episodes the last few weeks. The Dragon one was not only ridiculous, but also supposedly launched a new villain who will make us forget Lucifer and the other angels. But we saw so little of her that it was ultimately meaningless for us. Sadly, SPN has gone from the meticulous plotting of Kripke to the industry standard of start and stop plotting. They come up with something that could be a cool idea, but let it falter and go in another direction for ages. Then they write off the old plot and try again.
American Idol -- I wrote that I liked the new judges. I do like them. But it seems they are as tone-deaf as the previous judges were. They repeatedly sent singers with extraordinary voices home the last two episodes and kept singers that croaked like frogs with head colds. I just don't get that. But I do see the writing on the wall for me turning off the show in the middle, once again, because the singing is so very awful.
Murdoch Mysteries -- HA! Bet you weren't expecting this one. And I think I will put it under a cut so I don't spoil people who haven't seen any of S4 yet. Julia is gone. WHAT THE HELL? I mean, I knew that we would need to sort out Julia being gone this season. So, episode one didn't bother me. But episode two, despite my thinking that *I* would also make the viewer suffer through another Julia-free episode, still made me feel like I've missed Julia too much already. I find that I do like the new coroner though. Not that he's the least bit likable. But I love that he is a typical aristocratic doctor of his time. He's not a stupid man, he's an arrogant, self-righteous man. His looking down on Murdoch would normally make sense in his world, where even the best coppers are ignorant bruisers like the Inspector. And medicine tends to breed his type of arrogance, which is why it doesn't advance as quickly as it should. So, I think he's a great character and I wouldn't mind keeping him for a few more episodes. But I want to see Julia in Buffalo. I want to have her and William in touch with one another. I don't want Julia-free episodes. It is just wrong!
That's what I've been thinking about what I've watched this week.

Oh, and Jaycee went home so his balls could drop. Really, why not just reinstate Americcan Idol Kids?
