Yes! i watched 'Bones'. Had to, really. Just like i'll watch 'Kitchen Confidential' and 'Smallville' *gods help me*.
I won't be watching the 'How I Met Your Mom'. Yes, my Willow-dislike spills over into real life!
*ahem*
Anyway - 'Bones'. I won't cut since i'm not gonna spoil. Yes, i liked. Forensics! Cops! Bones and bits and cool little laboratory thingies! I'm a sucker for a show like that. Is it awesome to see Mr. Boreanaz out in sunlight? Yes! He's fun, solid, not stiff and fits the role. I like.
Quirky lab assistants? Check.
Crusty FBI superiors? Check.
Slightly improbable plot thingies? Check. But they weren't too awful.
Our 'heroine' fits the role, too. She's not model-pretty, super-skinny, wearing heels and makeup to a crime scene. She puts her hair back in a ponytail! She wears Wellies in the mud! At last, a practical working woman who doesn't lean her cleavage and her long, silky hair down into a three-week-old corpse.
If they don't push the 'romance' aspect too hard too fast I will enjoy this immensely.
Oh! And if the museum where her lab is anything like that in real life? DAMN. I must go.

Wow, all the wiggling and the shivering...

I watched 'Supernatural' 'cause when i actually program the VCR i can record and watch something else *at the same time!*
Heh. And...i dunno. It annoyed me. Too much 'i'm an uber-cool con-artist ghost-hunting guy' and too much 'i'm all angsty and refusing to deal with my past'.
Bah. Plus, ghosty-stuff on tv is generally too gross or too stupid for words. We'll see.
I need to read the books, obviously, since forensics just fascinates me.
*smooooooch*

Can see what you mean about the Too much 'i'm an uber-cool con-artist ghost-hunting guy' and too much 'i'm all angsty and refusing to deal with my past' but to me - mother's milk! Plus - was all squee adrenalin rush omfg it's DB and I loved it and shock shock shock...I was their perfect audience.
Plus - think all that will even out past the premier and first couple episodes - they threw everything at us at once to catch us with the bright shiny!
*coughs* Worked for me! And pretty boys...brother kink...
*reels*
*smooooooooch*
no subject
Well, you see - i was taping 'Bones' and 'House' so i saw 'Supernatural' with a...shall we say...clear head. Heeee.
But i have to agree - brother!kink!
*snerk*
The younger one is slightly familiar and i keep thinking i've seen him in something and it's driving me nutso. Any clues?

He was the Annoying!Boyfriend! Everytime bookworm Rory would want to browse a book store or book sale he'd do this big heavy sigh/eye roll/ do we *hafta?* thing that really, really got on my nerves.
HA!
Well, we shall see.
no subject
Yes, we shall!
*pets the new pretty boys*

Glad to see mom and I weren't the only ones having fun watching this show. It was nice to see her enjoying herself again.
I liked the very last shot, where she pushed him sideways. Now they just look like they're having fun! I liked the sexual tension. Just don't make it all lovey-dovey. OH! And I am so gonna remember that gal's move when I want to get attention from a ticketing agent!

no subject
I liked that, too! I'd really like to see a friendly, partner-y vibe get going for a bit without a bunch of sudden lovey-dovey crap. You know? They don't HAVE to get together! It's not integral to the plot!
I want a shirt i can rip open without sending buttons flying and then button back up again in .3 seconds.

Must admit am waiting in hope for it to arrive here, but imagine it won't be for awhile. I was intrigued when I heard about the Museum enviro and then I heard DB and thought, yep, MSTV (Must See TV)

I know that people put this stuff up to download a lot - you might see it sooner than you think.
I hope.

I dunno. It wasn't as 'fun' if you know what i mean.
But we'll see. Premiere's are never as good as the show, so - i'm not writing it off yet.
It was a little too gruely to be watching while MOnstrous was still up, though, at least last night's was - i kept the sound down real low once she'd gone to bed.

Where are you? Can you watch VHS tapes? I'm recording 'Bones' and 'House' cause i have no real way of watching otherwise without being interrupted a million times.
*hug hug*
no subject
I'm watching 'House', though. I can't believe what a brilliant American accent Hugh Laurie has! His normal accent is upper class, cut-glass English. You've probably seen and heard him on Letterman or something. He started off as a comedian. Who knew he'd be such a good actor?
*hugs back*
no subject
I saw him on...something. And yes, i thought his accent lovely and wished so much he could use it on the show! The American one is so flat and uninteresting next to it!
no subject

I've been 'accused' of having a 'weird' accent by people around here - when i was a kid, too - because my parents are from St. Louis and the East Coast, respectively, and we didn't grow up speaking the usual hick Missouri talk.
Funny how that is, that an accent always sounds neat to someone else.
no subject
I'm not sure what people make of my accent. I'm Australian, my mother was too but was educated in England and my dad was from the Australian bush country. I've lived in England for over half my life and my husband is a Cockney. Aussies say I sound English and Poms say I sound Aussie. I prefer to think I'm unique. LOL.
no subject
It's funny - you'd think with all the movies and stuff that would be so, but i know a lot of people who don't like to watch movies like 'Trainspotting' and 'Snatch' and such because they 'can't understand anybody' and it's boring.
Even slang words that have crossed over are lost on the rednecks around here for whom the world ends and begins at the city limits. Skeery, frustrating, and horrifying.
I spent most of my childhood - hell, my life - reading books by English or Scottish or Irish authors. Watching PBS and 'Masterpiece Theatre' and 'The Avengers' and things like that. And i used a dictionary when things were confusing.
Part of my childhood, and incomprehensible to most of my 'peers' here. Yerk.
I'd love to hear you talk. :)

The title of 'The Madness of George II' was changed to 'The Madness of King George' because it was feared that American audiences would think it was a sequel and wonder where the first one was, apparently. That is so patronising. Worse, because it was American executives who were doing the patronising. They doubted the intelligence of their own people.
It's not really much better here. TV is being dumbed down all the time by the proliferation of reality shows. It's getting easier all the time to get good exam results because the exams are made less difficult.
The reason I'm a good beta is that I'm well-read and love words. That's why you're an excellent writer. We're right; the hicks are wrong. They're missing out on a whole world they'll never know anything about. Poor sods.
I really should do a voice post one of these days! :)
no subject
Nobody edited 'Flambards' for me!
I loathe most tv anymore, hate all reality shows and basically stick to my BPK, which is medical/forensics. They're...okay.
Heh.
You should!
And so should i. Then we can listen to each other!
Heh.
no subject
http://www.flambards.co.uk/ It might give you a laugh, and somewhere to go if you ever come here. Jeani is just in the adjoining county.
I watch the various CSI's and L&O and quiz shows. They're fun, but Big Brother and Pop Idol? *shudder*
Yep, we should. I'd love to hear you for real. Go on, you first. :p
no subject
I have a set of the first four books that are original UK publications and i'd love to get the others in the same edition. I'll have to look at them and see if they're still available - it'd be nice if i had a whole matching set!
OMG - the Flambards theme park? That is just....wrong. So very wrong. I adore the books - have read them several times - and loved the PBS show made of them.
I am addicted to medical shows, so of course 'Bones' and 'ER' but also 'CSI:Miami' for the forensics. And 'Law and Order' and L&O:Special Victims Unit 'cause...cops. Heh.
That's about it, though. Sitcoms bore me, reality shows offend me.
Oooh, a challenge. Hrm... I can't think what to say in a phone post!

I wanted to watch, just for the eyepatch she wears, but--there was something else on I wanted to see, so--

I wanted to smack her.

Heeeee. I love CSI: Miami but yeah, freakin' cleavage, people!!
no subject
I adore CSI: Miami, too--H is the man, how dared they kill Speed and that new guy sucks!--but everybody's hair is always hanging down in the bodies--wouldn't the contaminate the crims scene? And they're always dressed up, when lets face it, if you're gonna be looking at dead bodies, you're wearing sweats and jeans and having your skin covered.
But meh, that aside, the stories are awesome. And finally, a show were David Caruso is likeable =D
no subject
They're not *too* awful on CSI:M, but bad enough. But i lurve them too much to be hyper-critical. I know! Killing Speed! The bastards. The new guy is okay, not as cool, but...eh, you take what you get.
Horatio cracks me up with his uber-dramatic delivery but yers, i luffs him. :)
no subject
*chucks rotten cabbages at new!Guy's head*
But I do love Horatio's delivery. It's so over the top with the intensity, but I like it.
*bounces*
*is a leeetle in lurve with H*
That last line he says just before the theme-song can really pull a teaser together. Pure magic.
Okay, now, I'm off to fb UtM. At last--

YOu're right! He always has a good last line.
