The New Season
With the demise, last year, of "Angel" and "Wonderfalls" and the failure of "Tru Calling", I'm down to three shows that I regularly watch: "Everwood", "Gilmore Girls", and "Joan of Arcadia". So, I'm looking around for replacements. The new season doesn't look all that promising; there are only three shows that look at all appealing to me.
The first, "Jack & Bobby", has already debuted. The first episode was moderately interesting, although I don't find any of the characters particularly appealing (with the possible exception of Courtney). It's a gimmick show, and the gimmick worked fairly well in the first episode; I'm not sure how long they can keep it going, though. For the moment, I'll keep watching, but it's definitely on probation.
The other two newbies are "Veronica Mars" and "Lost", both premiering on Wednesday. We shall see.
The season's first episode of "Everwood", last week, was good, not outstanding. Notable scenes included the fight between Harold and Andy (ostensibly over office renovation), Andy's smackdown for arrogance at the hands of a complete stranger, and Amy's (utterly out-of-character) moment of maturity at the end. The sugar scene was pretty good too, as was Harold's nostalgia-induced freakout. And then there was... Oh, heck. There were plenty of good scenes, but nothing to match the best this show is capable of.
But it's GG and JoA I'm really looking forward to. The season-ending crises (not exactly cliffhangers) will take some time to resolve (especially in the case of JoA). This should be a good week.

We just watched most of the episodes we hadn't seen of last season's Everwood. Both of us agree that Madison's pregnancy was totally gratuitous, superfluous, and lots of other -ous words. Would have been a great episode and wonderful cliffhanger without it. I mean, "see Dr. Brown be really really stupid again"
We missed a few episodes near the end because of taping stupidity, mostly on my part. So what happened with Andy/what's her name? And the insurance debacle with Harold? I'm assuming that the HIV/AIDS thing got out somehow?
And, um, for my benefit, if it's not too much trouble, could you hide Everwood and Gilmore Girls stuff behind a cut, please? I think we'll ge the new seasons eventually, but I don't know when! Thanks in advance!!
The bagel store was hilarious though. :-)
