Sometimes they just cram what they can in to hook you. It really does take several shows to really see if it's worth becoming a regular. Come back to tell me what you thought when you see it.

As though it was the weirdest thing about "Buck" they could think of. When I first heard of the concept, I got a little nervous. How can you add humor to a very serious mental disorder w/out making fun of someone? But, I really believe they pulled it off and did a great job.

I've also considered the surgery not going so successfully.... Karev is so complicated & i've met many men like him. I like that as well.

I have the feeling NBC is a little trigger happy. & ABC seems to be as well. Not happy with them right now.

Tue, 2 Dec 2008 19:08:05 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/leverage-preview/#IDComment11964793 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11756773 Yeah - it seems like they don't really have much balance.... was there pressure put on them by advertisers that you know of or just that they can't seem to make up their minds? Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:42:26 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11756773 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11756691 & now that Dr. Hahn is gone (which really upset me as well, I liked the story line) - I wonder if that was due to people's uncomfortableness w/ a lesbian relationship being so explicit or if they really thought the two didn't have chemistry. I just wonder... Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:34:10 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11756691 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11756664 I know. & I'm pretty clear (for those who spend a little time talking to me) how I feel about those (or any) prejudices. I know you know that I am very much against prejudice for sexual orientation. But that doesn't take away from his talent as an actor. It might detour his career and the consequences might impact how far he goes & how long he lasts - but I do have to show respect for talent when I see it. I just wonder if his removal was an overreaction or due to his inability to keep mouth shut & play nice. Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:30:49 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11756664 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11756424 Yes - I wondered if he was hard to work with but he is a good actor & it hasn't felt the same. I didn't know if it had to do with writers strike or was a combo of many things. The latter- I suspect, is closer to the truth. But I do miss seeing him on the show. Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:07:21 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11756424 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11563770 I have to agree with you on that. Both her and Chandra are a cut above. And I look forward to seeing those movies you mentioned. I'll have to go check it out. Sat, 22 Nov 2008 16:46:31 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/greys-anatomy/#IDComment11563770 http://www.dreamloom.com/discussions/worst-week-clever-comic-delight/#IDComment11517467 I've heard that we aren't alone. One guy on twitter told me he had felt the same way. The previews held no interest for him. For some reason, I never watched Samantha Who? even though I always meant to. Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:43:09 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/discussions/worst-week-clever-comic-delight/#IDComment11517467 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/ugly-betty-tornado-girl/#IDComment11277642 For any who come by later.... Just to clarify, I was being playful with the Lizzie bit. Of course I know it's Izzie. Just wanted to state this before anyone Posts this: "Lizzie?!? It's Izzie." I was trying on humor to deflect an angry reader's correction. I'm just a lowly average audience member excited about my favorite tv shows.... Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:25:37 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/ugly-betty-tornado-girl/#IDComment11277642 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/ugly-betty-tornado-girl/#IDComment10973053 LOL. Hillarious. As far as Marc with a 'c', I would have no idea. And it is crazy I wouldn't have known that. I pledge from now on upon the stack of TV Guides littering my closet that I will verify each and every name, common or no, because I must never, ever make such an insidious error as this again. And you got me with Phil. I have no idea in hell what was wrong with me except I must have been so torn and delirious and drunken over the most awful episode of Grey's Anatomy (or is it Gray with an 'a') that followed 'Ugly Betty ' I have ever seen. To wit, I have decided I will most likely stop watching it so I don't have to be tortured with a Lizzy (or is it Lizzie) that went from absolutely sane to sleeping with dead guys in 1 episode and disappearing lesbians. When I want to see that sort of stuff, I watch reruns of Buffy. The only saving moment of that entire show was the thought of interns practicing surgical techniques on themselves. But if, as my Sensei asks, a duel is required - my preference would be wooden spoons. I suppose, however, the weapon would be of your choosing. :) Sat, 15 Nov 2008 21:39:18 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/reviews/ugly-betty-tornado-girl/#IDComment10973053 http://www.dreamloom.com/discussions/pushing-daisies-might-finish-in-comics/#IDComment10869326 Extreme potential. Yes, the idea of it all was a bit 'out there', but the actors were incredible. I was very upset when it was pulled. I was very much interested in finding out how the brothers' relationship would develop. I'm just happy the lead now has a part in Grey's.

I'm still wonder what happened to The Nine and Journeyman. Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:29:49 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/discussions/pushing-daisies-might-finish-in-comics/#IDComment10829042 http://www.dreamloom.com/discussions/pushing-daisies-might-finish-in-comics/#IDComment10731269 Ack! I really hope this show is picked up. It's one of my favorite's this season. I love the whimsical feel of it, the beautiful eye-candy it brings. I don't know enough about comics to understand whether or not DC is a good thing or not. I can at least say it is one comic book I would pick up and read. There's nothing more I hate than getting attached to a show and seeing it end before it is really given a chance to develop. Fri, 14 Nov 2008 05:27:38 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/discussions/pushing-daisies-might-finish-in-comics/#IDComment10731269 http://www.dreamloom.com/discussions/lipstick-jungle-axed-anyone-surprised/#IDComment10673430 You're probably right & might explain why I have so many shows scheduled to record on ABC..... I'm about to get to that point - just ignore them until it seems like they might actually make it...

I have no idea, but I think it might have been last year or the year before. But - I'm really willing to check out season 1. I'll do anything once. And maybe twice. Do you know what year it premiered? Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:14:42 +0000 http://www.dreamloom.com/discussions/lipstick-jungle-axed-anyone-surprised/#IDComment10668819 http://www.dreamloom.com/discussions/lipstick-jungle-axed-anyone-surprised/#IDComment10668719 Now that I think about it, one show I have NEVER understood the fuss about was Scrubs. I watched 15 minutes one night and thought it was Saved By The Bell but set at a hospital. Now, I've got a sense of humor but I thought it was just strange. Maybe I just didn't give it a chance...

I know it got raves, but just never felt compelled to watch. But after having had one epi recorded, I finally watched it yesterday. Pretty quirky. I liked it.
