Unfortunately, my schedule makes it difficult to watch certain 8pm shows, namely Lost (which looks very good) and Smallville (which has been inconsistent enough this season to turn me off of it). I’ve pretty much abandoned the latter for the former.
I have to admit, Desperate Housewives is a very good guilty pleasure show. And it has Marcia Cross, a fabulously talented actress who has been overlooked and underappreciated for most of her career.
Veronica Mars is a surprisingly well-written show, sort of Twin Peaks-ish, film noir, but set in high school. Unbelievable that it’s on UPN. Unfortunately, it’s on at the same time as The Amazing Race.
The two shows from last season that I am still crazy about are Everwood, which seems to be better this season after a slightly rocky second season, and Joan of Arcadia, which started the season rocky but really picked up in the last few weeks. And if it didn’t get treated like dirt by FOX, I would still be watching Wonderfalls, the best show I’ve seen in many years. I’m definitely buying the DVDs.
Oh, and Gilmore Girls seems to have gone downhill too.
I watch too much TV. And all I have is one VCR.
