OMG, I'm posting about TV and it isn't about Lost!!

Okay, a question for the peanut gallery - what is it about House that you all seem to love? Honeybunch and I caught a few minutes of it this week and we were just like O.o. Anyone care to give a quick synopsis? He just came off as just another snarky asshole character.

Is Bones worth watching? True to life (any fellow forensic/anthro people out there)? I hate CSI because techs and detectives aren't busting in and out of the lab and crossing all kinds of job descriptions and such IRL. (I know, it's TV, but it bugs me)

In other news, I am a complete numbnut. I've been whining about my DVD player being broken when I have a DVD player on my PC. -.- Almost as good as the time Andy thought we had TiVo.

Watched Mind of Mencia tonight. If you get the chance, watch it. Totally hilarious.

Right now I'm watching I Am My Own Twin, which is really freaking me out. How can one not share DNA with their mother? Yet they're analyzing two women whose DNA doesn't match their children's.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning (because they're holding my H+ blocker scrip hostage, grr) and my head is killing me from trying to get my blood sugar into the normal range. Arrgh.

ETA: You all know I'm all a-squee about the GoF trailer. Eee, hug! I might even be able to get Andy to Pittsburgh for the premiere. Whee! :D I don't think I could express my excitement quite properly at this moment...*joy*

I let my friend borrow my t.v. and d.v.d player and I've been sitting around dying because I wanted to watch some shows. Then about 3 days ago it hit me that I could just watch them on my computer. I couldn't believe how dumb I've been. It appears this is affecting a lot of people.

You're coming to Pittsburgh for the premiere?

I don't like House, not at all.

And I do like Bones. But then again, I love CSI, so there ya go. Of course, David Boreanaz is in Bones, so that's a plus as far as I'm concerned.

It's mostly just Hugh Laurie, who played a character a lot like that with a little less drug addiction and more carrying manuscripts around in his pants while watching Wagner in two episodes of the first season of MI-5. He was really only an ass to Tom Quinn though, although the high and mighty was still in his system.

He is an ass, but if I could snark like that to anybody and everybody I felt like during the day I'd be much happier. They wouldn't, I would.

LOST is still tops, but I am finding I like the snark of House. I have refered to the show as nothing more than a medical version of CSI. A very well written version though. I like any show that is susposed to be a serious drama but makes me smile or laugh at the same time.

Couse after reading what I just wrote, I realize that really makes no sense what so ever...but there ya go. :)

Hello :) I watched "I Am My Own Twin" a couple of weeks ago, and it really is freaky. Iw as actually thinking that it would be an interesting plotline for "House."

I have been a huge fan of "House" since the first episode. What is it that I love? It's that whatever he thinks pops out of his mouth and he doesn't care. It's that he's a doctor, but people don't interest him, diseases do. It's that everything is a puzzle to him and he loves figuring out what make people tick. It's that even though he's an asshole, he will do pretty much anything to cure someone. The dialogue is fantastic and witty and his relationships with his co-workers are very entertaining. And every once in a while, they let us see a glimpse of tortured soul in him, and Hugh Lauire portrays it just incredibly.

I also checked out "Bones" and though I didn't enjoy it as much as when I first saw "House," it does have potential. There was one conversation (not spoilery here), where the characters were drifting between discussing a book and real life, and it was funny because of how easily people can often switch in conversation between several topics and keep them all straight. They don't often show stuff like that in TV. I'm a big fan of David Boreanaz, so I liked him in it and was pleased to see his performance. One of the quirkiest bits was that whenever someone used a pop culture reference in front of Bones (aka Dr. Brennan), she'd say, "I don't know what that means." I don't know if it's true to life or not, but it has potential.

Hope your doctor's appointment goes well!

Yup! I'll be there, if you want to meet up for the premiere. Plans so far are just getting over there (hitting Ulta, natch) and making a short vacation of it! Andy won't be going though, since he has to work. Boo.

Hey Melissa :)

I may try House again (if I catch it when it's on - I never remember to watch TV).

I am certainly going to try and catch Bones though, because mmm, David Boreanaz! :P

Appointment went well - got yelled at for my glucose levels but I got my scrip and that's all I cared about!

[zsazsa101.livejournal.com]

I second the Yumminess of David Boreanaz ;) In fact, I'm watching Angel right now. And he is *exceptionally* yummy in Bones.

[lissannej.livejournal.com]

Wow, neat! I think there may be a small fandom thing happening on the Saturday night; I'm not sure if Melissa has already got us tickets for Friday. Won't figure that out until closer to the time, though. And what's Ulta?

[quidditchgrrl.livejournal.com]

Sweet - I'm certainly up for a small thingamabob - let me know what the plans turn out to be. I'm open!

Ulta - www.ulta.com - it's like every good girly thing wrapped up in a big store! Perfume, makeup, hair care stuff, you name it - from the bottom shelf to top of the line brands. You can find Chanel No. 5 and Love's Baby Soft and Cover Girl and Dirty Girl...it's one of the places that truly makes me *squee*

I blame nsmom for this, since she took me there and now I'm hooked!
