T.V. Shows

I have to apologize for my lame posting this week.  I've been a lot busier than I normally am, but I think it should all be regular now.

I don't know if any of you watch "Dancing With the Stars", but I like that show.  My parents used to teach ballroom dance, and I know some, so I enjoy watching it.  I cannot stand the judges however.  They don't know anything!  The score the good ones too low and the bad ones too high!  Erggg... and Wayne Newton this season... I cannot stand that man!  I'm so glad he's gone, but he should've been the first.

Probably my favorite show is "Boston Legal".  Not a lot of people watch it, but once you do you get hooked.  I have the first season on DVD (box depicted below, from left to right: Shirley Schmidt (Candice Bergen), Alan Shoore (James Spader), and Denny Crane (William Shatner)) and am looking for the others.  If you don't know about it, it's concerning this law firm only everyone there has there... well... quirks... sort of speak.  Like one of them has Asperger's and when he's upset he'll pur... yes... like a cat.  One's a cross-dressing, African man named Clarence, who sometimes comes to work as his multiple personality, Claire.  Denny Crane (William Shatner), one of the name partners, is very anti-Democrat, but has never lost a case (his record is 6,429 to 0).  The main character, Alan Shoore (James Spader) is very smug, insubordinate, and sexually harrasses pretty much the entire female population of the firm, but is probably only second to Denny in lawyering.  There's an ex-marine who is so homophobic that he has to get Alan to say "lesbian" him if the situation ever comes up.  It's just so crazy, and the cases are really weird.  This one guy was sueing for wrongful termination, because he got fired from his Santa Claus job at Gordon's when they found out he was a transvestite.  It's hilarious.  What's really cool about it though is that they talk about a lot of current political topics, so you learn something too!  =)

There is one show I like that I am constantly ridiculed for, but... you don't love "Desperate Housewives" until you try it!  You have to see it to believe it!  If you haven't seen it, don't judge it, because at the end the narrator voice comes on and it always has this mushy moral to the episode, but still... it's great.

"Brothers & Sisters" is an awesome show.  It's about a family that redefines dysfunctional.  There's a gay lawyer, a Democrat (in a family of Republicans) running with her boss who she recently became engaged to for President of the United States, a brother working in a business wither their dead father's mistress, a brother in Iraq (ironic with a Democratic sister), and a sister whose husband had an affair with the dead father's daughter by the mistress without knowing it.  It's pretty wild.

I like "Criminal Minds" and "Survivor", but not as well as the others.  They aren't funny enough for me though.

I can't wait for "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" to come out!  It looks so good!  =)
