I enjoy escaping the harping of my internal critic by watching TV. Here are some shows I currently enjoy via limited basic cable (aprox. $10 per month)
The Unusuals- the female lead in this cop show was Joan in Joan of Arcadia, and I think she's super cute. I also like her voice. The show is entertaining and is on late enough at night that my intolerance for cop shows to be overwhealmed by my need to watch something interesting that won't give me nightmares. It's actually well written, although the characters aren't really all that eccentric.
New Tricks- Yes, another cop show, but this time BBC and it has a great theme song. Theme songs matter. I think I've talked about this one before.
The Mentalist- I like watching the guy do Jedi Mind Tricks. All-attractive cast. Lead character is yet another Austrailian; his American accent is well done. I enjoy yellilng corrections and simiar stuff at the T.V. For example, "There is no California Bureau of Investigation!" There is no Federal Detention Center in Davis, CA!"
Masterpiece Theatre/Mystery Foyle's War, Miss Marple, etc. are sometimes worth watching
Mental- some rich guy buys a private mental institution, or something. I've only seen one episode and I wasn't paying much attention to it.
Cupid- Cupid is kicked out of Mt. Olympus for being a slacker and relying on his magic arrows too much. He can't return until he helps 100 people find "true love." It's sort of a stupid show, as you can tell from the concept, but it is cute and occasionally funny. So far it's got a very formulaic plotline for every episode but the dialog is fairly well written.
Shows I used to like or will sometimes watch:
Numbers, but it's gone downhill. I think they need some new writers with some fresh ideas. Also, they replaced the totally annoying nasal-voiced female special agent with a totally annoying terrible actor female special agent. Also, I have a hard time reconciling the honest, intelligent agents with, well... reality.
Castle- hit and miss writing. Attractive actors, but it's another cop show. Fails to follow through. I'd like the see the entire cast in something that's actually interesting.
Also, I cannot believe this is for real, but what a piece of crap:
Jon & Kate: Is It Too Late Tue, Jun 23, 8:00p - 8:30p 004 TVGNP 2009 | 30 mins Experts discuss Jon and Kate's relationship and where it is going.
