Detective Shows

Being at home, and having cable, alerts me to the fact that Law and Order can be found on television almost at any hour of the day. Not to mention there are now three different types of the show on NBC during the week airing new episodes, and I think it still hits the list of most watched shows and holds its own. Perhaps because it's of a different breed then all those reality shows now on television. But tonight, oh tonight, an episode of "Homicide, Life on the Street" a show I used to love to watch every Friday night was on television. In this particular episode, they had all my classic detectives from this show and a bunch that are still on television during Law and Order.

Late Night Television

So, after deciding I was tiring of the computer and sitting in front of it, I changed directions and headed downstairs for the tv. Now, I'm don't mean Prime-Time, but I mean the after-the-news type of television. Yes, yes, there is all that junk (think infomercials and bad reruns), but I like the David Letterman, Jay Leno, and Conan O'Brien shows. Watching tonight just brought laughter to the surface. David Letterman had a segment called "Stump the Band" where members of the audience get to first get introduced, then offer up a song that the band doesn't know, and the band tries to make something up (typically funny). So, tonight, David Letterman talked to a man named Klaus, who then forgot the song he was going to volunteer, and resorted to saying he forgot and hitting his head a few times. An uproar. He just couldn't remember. I was thinking that it was kind of sad, embarrassing yourself on late-night tv, but it just happens I suppose. Life does go on, and I'm sure his friends will only remember it all for a brief bit of his life. And still funny, nonetheless.

Arrested Development

I finally finished all THREE seasons. Holy moly. I've gone psycho again watching television, but now that it's done I'll... move on to something else I'm sure. Anna suggested that I watch the show, cause I might enjoy the humor of David Cross, who plays the brother-in-law of the main character Michael, who spends a few years (the three seasons) trying to keep his family together. It's quite amusing, and the jokes, if not laugh out loud humor, are right on. The show was cancelled, which is quite sad, except for that fact that I've finally finished. :) I better go look up David Cross himself. Anna and I have similar types of humor, so I do trust her on this one. If you think you might like an odd laugh, check the show out, and you might just enjoy it.

24: Season 2

OK, so I finally finished the second season. And Devin is adamant about telling me that season 5 is the best, then 4, and then 3, so if I've liked seasons 1 and 2, I'll have to go on watching. It's important for me to restrain myself from watching all the time, cause it's too easy to get hooked, so don't start if you haven't got the time. Otherwise, it's pretty action filled, with plots and evil all around. I would recommend it to most. :)
