Fighter of the Night Man

So, I finished both Gossip Girl and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia tonight. One has become a new favorite - the other is okay, but missable for next season.

"Day Man" is stuck in my head.

Miscellaneous Musings, Summertime

After the last season finale (I believe it was Lost, I'm not positive), I of course watched my Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup.

After hockey, TV kind of ends. There's Tigers baseball, but I don't really watch the road games that much. I'm at the ballpark watching the games at Comerica Park, but I kinda have to. When they are on the road, (why is Firefox telling me "are" is spelled wrong?) I turn the TV on sometimes but don't really pay much attention.

Monk and Psych return on July 18 on USA, so that's good. Those are pretty much the only Friday shows I've watched since TGIF, but I did get into Friday Night Lights on DVD, so there will be that too. (Season debut still not listed on TV.com...) Still, during the summer it's a good time to catch up on missed shows or find new ones.

SHOWS I'VE BEEN WATCHING LATELY:

Gossip Girl. I'm a bit of a completist, if I start watching a show and it doesn't kill me, I gotta keep going. And since there's usually a way to find episodes online now (thank you TV.com, hulu.com and surfthechannel), I do keep going. So, this is one of them. I love Kristen Bell, if even only for her voice, and Leighton Meester reminds me of someone, which always kind of attracts one to another person. (Ed: Rose McGowan and/or Friday Night Lights' Minka Kelly) I'll finish up the first season and see if I want to bother. If it remains on Monday, I'll have to wait until it's online because Monday seems to be the new Thursday with all the good shows.

Boston Legal. I used to watch this when it aired, but I missed a few episodes and decided to just wait for reruns. I've found it on Surfthechannel so I've been trying to catch up before Season 5 starts. No airdate for that either, but I hear they are changing the cast once again. It has an early nod for a Drama Emmy, so I doubt they'd can the fifth season. And I hear it's moving to Monday, which again confirms my theory about it being the best TV night.

(SERIOUSLY. SHOWS ON MONDAY NIGHT INCLUDE: The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Bones, House, Gossip Girl, Boston Legal, Heroes and Chuck. Plus shows I don't watch including Two and a Half Men, Prison Break, Terminator... did I forget any? Oh yeah, 24 -- whenever it comes back.)

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Another show like How I Met Your Mother that I found way too late. The good thing about that is plenty of episodes to watch at my leisure. Philadelphia has short seasons, so there were only 17 episodes to watch on the DVD set. I'm currently catching up with Season 3 on TV.com so I'll be all set. I knew after an episode and a half that this would be one that I'd make sure to catch up with.

Penn & Teller: Bullshit! Penn's just funny. It's like MythBusters on crack, with total bias.

Daybreak. This one only last a season. I caught it on DVD through Netflix.

Speaking of Netflix, I've also begun watching Bones and Criminal Minds. They're not high on my priority list, but probably ones that I'll eventually look for more of.

I did watch the sneak preview of Life on Mars. I didn't care for it. This whole Quantum Leap > Early Edition > Journeyman time travel/crime fighting idea is wearing a bit thin. And with the loss of David E. Kelley, it may get worse!
