MORE STUFF

[slemslempike]

Oh WOW. I don't like pickles or peanut butter and jelly, but other than that I want it all. I have had a deep-fried twinkie, when I was visiting Kate in Texas, and I enjoyed it very much. (Deep-fried mars bar, which I tried recently, was disappointing.)

I realised that I forgot three shows I love and are coming back: Raising Hope, The Middle, Community. And I looked at a list of new shows, and shall be trying at least one episode of

2 Broke Girls
Which I've seen mentioned around a lot, but cannot remember what the general consensus is. I shall have to form my own opinion, which I'm not used to.

Pan Am
Which has Christina Ricci in. I like her a lot, and I think she'll be a great air hostess.

Suburgatory
A family move to the suburbs and find it a bit Stepford Wives? Why not, as long as is its not as terrible as the Nicole Kidman/Matthew Broderick remake.

How to be a Gentleman
Sounds kind of dreadful, but has Dave Foley, and Rhys Darby. (Aw, and Roseanne's uptight neighbour/that teacher from Malcolm in the Middle

Up All night
Again not a thrilling premise (couple have baby and find life a bit hard), but some people I like in it.

Free Agents
I watched this when it was a UK show, and it seemed like the sort of thing that America might do quite well.

New Girl
I don't think I like Zooey Deschanel, and this sounds like it will be all the things I think I don't like about her in a tv series.

I Hate My Teenage Daughter
Like the sort of terrible family sitcoms I like, but about the mothers not the fathers.

Hart of Dixie
I like Rachel Bilson. I imagine she'll be quite nice being a doctor who's moved from New York to Bluebell Alabama because there aren't any jobs.

Last Man Standing
Okay - I like Home Improvement. And I like Tim Allen. So even though the premise makes me roll my eyes to a painful degree, I am looking forward to seeing Tim Allen in a sitcom about a man who lives in a world dominated by women. (I'd be even more pleased if Patricia Richardson were there.)

Man Up
Similarly, a group of men being really childish and then trying to grow up holds little to no appeal. Which is why I will be watching the first episode to see if I'm right.

Also, I apparently overlooked Happy Endings airing in April, and will watch some of that to see what I missed out on.

Legally Blonde the musical has toured to Edinburgh, and I think I am going to go and see it. Anyone want to come with me? Cheapest seats are £26, unfortunately.

I thought of you earlier today, I have finally reached the bit in one of the CS books where Joey says she wants to have another girl (a 12th child, good grief!) and Grizel says "Don't you like boys? You're not a feminist, are you?" (and Joey replies with something like "Heavens no!"). I laughed out loud.

Ha! Good, wouldn't want your daughters to be actually treated as EQUALS, Joey!

There. Is. A. MUSICAL?

Fie on my accursed geographical location, for I would love to invite myself along with you to see this musical!

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

There is! And I have heard that it is excellent.

New Girl is AWFUL

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Awful in a way that is quite watchable, or just terrible? I didn't realise it had aired, how have you seen it?

[everthere.livejournal.com]

There's a pre-air pilot on torrents. It's worse than Rizzoli and Isles. She's just very irritating, there's nothing endearing about her or any of the characters. I won't watch ep 2.

RIZZOLI AND ISLES IS GREAT! I really like it, maybe I will also like New Girl.

[everthere.livejournal.com]

You wont. Watch it tonight, you will not like it. I'm awaiting your dislike with great excitement. It's just so calculated to be twee and adorable. Oh she's so sad after her breakup so she watches dirty dancing, five or six times.. A DAY!!!! LOL!!!! Oh she makes everything into a song! LOL! ADORABLE!!!

I do still watch Rizzoli and Isles (in the background) , so i suppose thats good-bad.

I watched it - I hate that she's all cutesy, and that it's all stupid and meant to be lovely and fluffy, but I didn't have a visceral hatred for it. I won't download any more, but if I accidentally saw it being aired I wouldn't mind. (Sorry.)
