Current Mood: mellow

If 30 Rock doesn't say something about NBC's utter fail during the Olympics (stopping airing the Closing to spam people with Jerry Seinfeld's new show?), I will be disappointed. You just know a Jack Donaghy came up with the scheduling.
I finally watched SyFy's Alice last night. Overall I thought it was...okay. Don't feel I wasted my life watching it, but at the same time I don't think I need to watch it again.
Have I mentioned I'm on a 24 hiatus? I just couldn't take nothing happening week after week anymore. I might watch it once a month or something, marathonning several in a row.
Also, both How I Met Your Mother and Chuck are off my lists now. So basically I cleared my entire Monday night TV schedule. Go me? :D
I might have to try Legend of the Seeker since goldy_dollar won't stop talking about it. Is it any good?

Legend of the Seeker is pretty much popcorn tv for me, I just turn my brain off and watch for the pretty.

Although I am enjoying it more this season thanks to more focus on a certain thing that did peak my interest last season (vague so as not to spoil).

I've even been a little disappointed the Olympics haven't been mentioned yet on 30 Rock. There's no way Kenneth didn't (er, wouldn't?) beg Brian Williams to take him to Vancouver so that he couldn't faun over, I dunno, the chubby US male curler. NBC's utter excitement over the last two years (and then complete fail) makes for great comedy fodder, and it must be used! Tina! Get on it!

Legend of the Seeker is actually really bad, but in the good way. Super cheesy, uber campy, lots of sword fighting, pretty stars, etc. I haven't got around to season two yet, as I prefer to just watch them all on one weekend. But it's fun.

*points* What she said. If you like the Merlin series, or liked Hercules the Legendary Journeys and/or Xena back in the day, you'll probably enjoy this. Totally cheesetastic, but in a good way!

One of the things I really enjoyed about this show is that it was like watching what the crew (and cast!) of Xena and Hercules are capable of, after Australia and New Zealand grew up through Lord of the Rings.

Um, it's pretty much up there with Doctor Who for tough kick-ass female characters which is so, so nice and exciting.

And if it annoys you for some reason, which is possible (it's not exactly the best show on earth, after all) just think:

Seriously, what was with that closing ceremony coverage? My Canadian friends were talking last night about all these music performances that I didn't even realize I had missed!

I have to watch Lost and 24 in batches of 2 or 3 episode.

What happened in the last 5 minutes of Alice? My DVR cut off.

I don't know what Michelle's policy on spoilers is (ha!), so I sent you a message.

Thank you! Thank you! That's exactly where it cut off.

I did like the Hatter (at least I thought Andrew Lee Potts looked like he had fun with the role).

Legend of the Seeker is actually a rather enjoyably corny show, and you can watch them on demand on NetFlix, so no need to even bother with the disks - if you want to try it out.

The scenery is gorgeous as it's filmed in NZ, some of the actors are American, but most are Australian or Kiwi (someone I work with is watching for the bit part actors to keep rotating around in the various roles), and it is kinda cringeworthy at times, but is enjoyable brain-off TV with lots of pretty. :)

So they're digging up the old has-beens to try to save the network now?

NBC. Nothing But Crap.

I could handle a popcorn show. :D

I know! They did something for the Beijing Olympics! Time to do something for this!

:D I might like it, although ultra-cheesy shows can be a toss-up with me. But I guess I stuck with Robin Hood for nearly 2 seasons, so...

I watched Hercules and Xena when I was bored on Saturdays back then, although I wouldn't say that I was super into them. I tried Merlin but wandered off after the first episode.

Good female characters are always a good thing!

And BWAH!! That gif!! XD

NBC was being their usual FAIL selves. BAH.

Looks like you got the Alice answer. :)

I thought about doing that with Lost as well, but I haven't so far. I'm not sure why though - I've not been "OMG I MUST WATCH NOW" so far this season.

Netflix! Thanks!! *adds to lineup*

I'll have to be sure I'm in the mood for a brain-switching-off show.

And it's not even a scripted show! It's some reality show. Yes, that's what they stopped airing the Olympics for.

I've watched a couple of episodes of Legend of the Seeker, thanks to

goldy_dollar's pimping. It's fun and light-hearted silliness, which is exactly what I want some days.

Some days you just want to switch off the brain, don't you?

They are!

You laugh, I'll go drool. :D

I might have to try Legend of the Seeker since goldy_dollar won't stop talking about it. Is it any good?

Well, it really does depend on your definition of "good"... :D :D
