Slave to Sky

Ok a little list for all you TVoholics who crave a decent show that entertains, amuses and keeps you coming back for more:

Bones – and excellent show based on the character by Kathy Reichs (temperance Brennan is a forensic anthropologist). Mixing characters from the book with subtle differences and a storyline that twists and turns. Yay.

ER – fastest hour of the week. Although the main characters need building (a 'musketeer-type episode should bond them well) this show is a consistent winner.

Charmed – is this allowed? More totty than you can shake a broomstick at.

Deadwood – gritty drama set in the ugly, wild west.

Threshold – Some totty, guns, aliens, midgets; what more do you need in a Sci-Fi?

Boston Legal – There are two big reasons to watch this; James T Kirk and James Spader. They carry this very amusing legal drama, with their dead pan wit. Excellent

Desparate Housewives – Mostly totty and gossip, with a smattering of intrigue. Still it’s well worth getting in too.

House – Best of the bunch. Hugh Lawrie was born for this part. Same plot week in week out, but for some reason, the interaction between all the actors elevates this Hospital drama to new heights. Fan-fucking-tastic.

Does anyone else have any “much watch” series currently doing the rounds?

Deadwood is adictive. I've gone through the 1st season twice and anxiously await season 2 on DVD.

But I thought Hugh Lawrie (is that really how you spell his name?) was born to play Bertie Wooster...?

Still waiting for someone to weigh in on the Most Haunted vs. Ghost Hunters controversy.

Actually it's not, it's Laurie.

But spelling, accuracy, the truth and cold hard facts aren’t my forte. But you can’t beat him in Blackadder goes forth!
