Ever since I was a wee tot I loved the beginning of the new TV season. All the shiny new shows lined up for Fall. LOVED IT! In the beginning, my love revolved around the Saturday morning cartoons: The Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa, Rubik the Amazing Cube, Strawberry Shortcake, Robotech, JEM, etc etc etc. As I got older and the quality of animated shows produced in the US severely declined, my love for the live action shows soared.
However, I am Shocked and Amazed by how much I do NOT care about the current season. I was actually looking forward to it. Excited, yes! I was going to watch The Nine and Ugly Betty, Jericho, Heroes, oh, all sorts of things. Only, well, the season started and, hmmm, not so much ...
Ugly Betty is charming and entertaining, but I could easily wait for the DVD. Heroes has been vaguely watchable, but again, not really that interesting. Jericho never even had a chance, despite my love for Skeet Ulrich. I still haven't watched a single, solitary episode of The Nine.
Even my old stand-by's have failed me: Desperate Housewives has tanked in my mind, Grey's Anatomy (that I loved all the way through that heartbreaker of a season finale) has failed to get me to tune in on Thursday nights. What the HECK?! I know NOT what the deal is!
What I have found absolutely entertaining? Well, apparently, I've gone off my meds and am looking at the world through lens of crazy:
Men in Trees
Avatar: the Last Airbender
Trinity Blood
Bleach
Eureka 7
Brothers and Sisters
I got Anne Heche, Calista Flockhart and anime. Go figure.
The anime isn't the problem. I love anime. Although Bleach is less than stellar, I mostly watch it because it's sandwiched between Trinity Blood and Eureka 7, I usually don't tune in on a regular basis because Cartoon Network isn't always the most consistent with its programming.
The only other thing? And I am beyond surprised by my devotion, Brothers and Sisters. Every Sunday I tune in and expect to tune out, but it's yet to happen. I am in love with those guys. Even conservative, republican, up-tight Kitty. Love it. It's very formulaic in ways, but there's just something about those characters that totally suck me in. Plot's not that deep, not really much in the way of drama or narrative tension, but man, I just love those guys. No clue why. Just love!
So, what are you watching, my dears? And should I be watching it, too?
