I wonder if they took into account how many people stream it from their player (or actually, since it didn't work very well for me, from surfthechannel). I love Lee Pace. To be realistic though, I was kind of getting to teh point where i was tired of the Chuck and Piemaker romance. <BR/><BR/>I'm also kind of sad that the rest of the article included Ugly Betty and Brothers and Sisters in with Desperate Housewives and Boston Legal. I liked Ugly Betty when I watched it. And the couple of times I watched brothers and sisters. Maybe not as much eyecandy as Pushing Daisies, but decent. <BR/><BR/>Ah well. I'm kind of looking foward to the new JJ Abroms shows, but we'll see.glenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346073043241508365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066118040332988623.post-69958248937335369112008-12-01T16:46:00.000-05:002008-12-01T16:46:00.000-05:00I am definitely interested to hear what other peop...I am definitely interested to hear what other people are watching on TV...despite the fact that my thesis is putting a crimp on my TV plans, I'm all for How I Met Your Mother. Also, Psych and Burn Notice (on USA but sometimes on NBC I think?).<BR/><BR/>If I had no thesis, I'd also be catching up on House, Tudors, and the BBC Robin Hood. Oh, and I heard that Mad Men was really good. <BR/><BR/>And even Kevin McKidd cannot make me watch a Grey's in which there are romantic trysts with characters who died two seasons ago.<BR/><BR/>Happy post-Thanksgiving!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318042759622812222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066118040332988623.post-88789751246856822472008-12-01T15:32:00.000-05:002008-12-01T15:32:00.000-05:00Denny's return is the writers punishing Izzy for s...Denny's return is the writers punishing Izzy for saying the writing was bad when she would not accept an Emmy consideration....she's obviously got a brain tumor and will be adios amigos...but fool her once -- so the show will likely be gone as well. Where is the Meredith romance? <BR/>Steve is right about Big Bang -- it will feel like you and your pals in our basement watching Guts...(the "hot chick" is the dumb daughter from Rules for my Teenage daughter or whatever that John Ritter was working on when he died).

Seriously, I watch most of what you watch as well (though this season I gave up on CHuck and Pushing Daisies) and believe that Grey's needs to ditch the Denny bit...guess they had to bring him back to quickly move beyond the Callie-Erica relationship. All too weird.<BR/>In any event, I think that watching mindless tv is important because when you use your brain all day, sometimes, just sometimes, you need to let your mind wander about....and what better escape than mindless tv?<BR/>Sounds like your Thanksgivings were fun -- glad you were able to celebrate!<BR/>Love, <BR/>Aunt JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
