If you want something really, really bad...

Catching up on my shows from the last two weeks.

( Sarah Connor Chronicles )

( Bones )

( House )

Bones ( 4.05 )

I'm following the ratings of my weekly shows to see how many I'm watching are safe and how many are not. So far:

Monday: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - on a steep decline, incidentally while my enjoyment of it is on the rise, grr

starting next week Heroes - I imagine it would be a safe one

Tuesday: House - should be safe even though it dropped a bit; of course if they want me to keep watching, they better fix...certain things

Wednesday: Bones - continues to do quite well in the ratings, so we have another safer

starting next week Criminal Minds - even its repeats draw 9 Million so safe as houses

Thursday: Supernatural - well, the big Premiere today, hope it does well

Friday: Stargate Atlantis - no point in ratings anymore, thanks for nothing Sci-Fi


I have nothing on Saturdays and Sundays. Hm, not all that much in the ways of watching but there is just little else to catch my interest. I really tried with True Blood but it just does nothing for me.

Hee. So gelesen in einer kleinen DVD-Review zu Bones: "Erinnert manchmal an CSI - auch die Figuren sind fast so üverzeugend." Und ich glaube, das war als Kompliment gemeint. Ja, ja, wenn ich an CSI denke, dann auch gleich zuerst an die markanten Charaktere. : D

Dabei muß ich sogar zugeben, hat Bones einen gewissen tölpelhaften Charme für mich entwickelt. Manchmal ist dass die einzige Serie, die Klischeethemen nimmt und ihnen einen unamerikanischen, will sagen logischen, Touch gibt. Und die Nebenfiguren sind sogar recht putzig. Ich zumindest bin von "wer schreibt den Dreck?" zu "mir egal, es ist trotzdem komisch" gewechselt. Und DB ist eh Comedy Gold.

Oh God Bones continues to throw me for a loop with its resolutions and I finally figured out why. It works on the Occam`s Razer principle. Years of watching TV has trained my mind into waiting for the other shoo to drop because it can`t be that simple. Yet on Bones there IS no other shoo. Incidently last week there was and I had figured it out right away, only I was doubting myself because usually it`s so simple. It`s almost Machiavallian in a way. *g*

Bones Episode 3 and 4: Hm, strange, the characters continue to be confusing, the plots are weird but I really had a few hearty laughs here. Maybe I can enjoy this show as funny - regardless if its meant to be this way or not. Because generally I mocked the writing, munched on peanuts and had a good time watching today. ( Read more... )

And that`s a lot more than I can say for a lot of shows that are intended to be funny or such that do present me with laughable writing but they`re too painful to laugh about. So in that regard I guess kudos to Bones, you might not work as a crime-drama for me but you rock as "crimedy". :)
