my favorite martians
Last night I was reminded of why I like watching the boob tube so much. It is seriously relaxing, often quite fun and surprisingly emotional at times. So, here are television shows I love to watch and why, in no particular order:
Alias
Who doesn't dig a super cool female spy who kicks ass? I just miss Bradley Cooper as Will Tippen. Booo... (But the good news is he was on Touching Evil last week! Could be the beginning of a trend...)
The Practice - current season
Never before has a truly messed up character been more fun to watch! Alan Shore is perhaps one of the most scrumptiously complex and twisted characters ever written. Well done, James.
Charmed
It's just so cute! And I love the fantasy of it.
Smallville
Tom Welling. Need I say more?
West Wing - in the Aaron Sorkin era
These days it's missing a little something, admittedly, but it's still quality television. Heck, I'd vote for Martin Sheen if he ran for President! On education and elocution alone!
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
C'mon, really. Did you think I could forget these lovely ladies?
Law and Order - classic
Nothing like a classic. Still impeccably written. And Lenny's one-liners are simply priceless.
Friends - whatever is left anyway
Just funny. "Joey doesn't share food!"
ER
The drama of it all. And you gotta love a show that is supposed to take place in your home town!
Monk
OCD has never been funnier. I can SO relate. I live with Monk. Tony Shalhoub is brilliant.
The Dead Zone
Yes, Anthony Michael Hall survived the 80s and is looking good. And he can act! Seriously!
Touching Evil
A new and also totally twisted character has found his way onto my list. Good stuff.
