yendi(Still haven't watched this week's Prison Break, nor the last three Romes or Monster Houses. )
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law: So, why exactly does Inch-high even hang around the office? And how many dead Scrappy-Doos have we seen now? And who cares? We got lots of Mentok! And Gigi!
Arrested Development: mmmm, Charlize Theron. I found her much more attractive here than in most of the movies I've seen her in. As always, the show had me in stiches, not least because of many of the moments with Jessica "robbed by Doris Roberts" Walter. The hand stuff was unbelievable. And we got to hear "The Final Countdown" again! Woohoo!
Kitchen Confidential: Wow, did this fail to impress me. I heard some great stuff about the pilot, but this was just flat. The cast is wonderful, and the lack of a laugh track is a good thing. But the writing just failed to zing. I might give it a try again down the road, but I saw nothing to convince me to get a season pass.
Medium: If I never hear Gloria Gaynor again, I'll be happy. I thought I'd go insane during the first ten minutes, which is surely how Allison felt. As always, I love the Allison/Joe dynamic, because their conversations seem real. And as always, I really really want them to either write Maria Lark off the show, or just write her like a real kid. She's the only false note, and with the baby getting older, they don't have to overdo the precociousness crap with her anymore. Please. Otherwise, I enjoyed the show a lot. Some really good character moments, and nice to see some acknowledgment of Phoenix's large Hispanic community in the plotlines.
Tonight, with 'song at a movie screening, I'll be holding off on Gilmore/House, so I'll probably just be catching up on Dr. Who.

Date: 2005-09-27 01:49 pm (UTC)There seems to be a lot of potential there, but the episode I saw utterly failed to live up to any of it.
Feh.

Date: 2005-09-27 02:45 pm (UTC)Wheee entertainment
Date: 2005-09-27 02:55 pm (UTC)Kitchen Confidential - I admit it, I liked it. Not sure why - it's not genius or anything, but I was still definitely amused and entertained. I may be the only one.
Medium - haven't watched it yet - lalalalalalala (fingers in ears to avoid hearing spoilers)

Date: 2005-09-27 03:20 pm (UTC)Turn off Kitchen Confidential and turn on How I Married Your Mother. It's been the pleasant surprise of the season so far which, I'm sure, has a lot to do with Alyson Hannigan who does some damn fine comedy. For that matter, Neil Patrick Harris is much funnier than I'd ever expect, too.

Date: 2005-09-27 07:36 pm (UTC)Also, I thought the whole plane-crash-but-not-really-but-now-we're-sure-but-no-but-whatever mechanism was kind of ridiculous, and did we ever find out how the hell Isabel got FIVE HOURS away from home? And it's not nice to make little girls dream of dead daddies in trees.
So, while I do like the husband/wife relationship, I was generally annoyed by the episode. And priest conflicts are so two years ago.
