You all suck

Post by kevinswatch »

Because of the topic about the main character of a certain TV show in the Thomas Covenant Movie forum, I am now a House-aholic. I'm addicted to his oh-so great sense of humor and wit. Before I would have nothing to watch on Tuesday nights, and I would be at peace with my homework. However, I am now a mindless House-maniac, waiting obsessively for the new episode every week.

I hope you all are happy!!! :x :x :x

;)

(Seriously, awesome show.)-jay :P

It's a moderately interesting medical drama on Fox. It's not bad.

Love the new avatar Jay, the Tick rules!

It is a so-so medical drama with an interesting main character but unrealistic and inaccurate storylines and writing. Can't stand it, but my wife watches it every week.

Laurie is great--I've never seen Black Adder so I don't have that inbred prejudice. I agree that the storylines and supporting characters need some help. With the addition of Sela Ward and a fresh season I expect some improvement in those areas. Maybe they could lure some of the writers over from ER as that show has, pretty much, run it's course.

That is a truly disturbing picture, though not as disturbing as the leather-clad Bob Saget.

I love the sarcasm. Love it. The plotlines are mechanical and predictable, I can't speak for the accuracy of the medical information, but this show has some great lines (mostly from House). Doesn't hold a candle to The West Wing's most brilliant seasons (and probably even its lousy ones), but it's one of the more intelligent things on network television these days. This, I suppose, doesn't say much for the status of television in general. If they'd just vary the plotlines more, it'd be all good.

I chopped it down, but it's still slightly too big.

"You are Number 6."

I also love Yes, Minister. As an uninformed American, I am sure much of the political humor flies over my head, but those I do get make me LOL.

Ah, people with taste. As my sig says, "I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered!" 8) "Who are you?" "The new Number Two" "What, another one?!"*

As for Yes Minister: It certainly helps if you've witnessed British politics first hand, but it also affects your perceptions. For example, I can no longer see any official giving a speech without assuming it's been written by a Sir Humphrey, and taking a guess at what he was trying to conceal when he wrote it :lol: "I don't want an enquiry, I want to find out who did it!"
