Call me a sheep, i don't c are...

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.

I've never seen it like that but i'm sure it was. The 'dumbing down' of *everything* sucks. They changed/edited the Harry Potter books so American kids could 'get it' Grrrrrrrrrr.

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!! If you talk down to the lowest common deminator, that will become the norm. That's sad. If you can't get the original versions of HP, send me your snailmail addy and I'll post the originals to you. Your kids deserve to see what JKR wrote.

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

Oh, i know i know.
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!
