What I'm Watching This Summer
Inspired by the TV Squad bloggers' lists, here is my list of what I'm watching this summer while I suffer horribly from Heroes and Battlestar Galactica withdrawal:
Creature Comforts: The premiere episode assuaged my fear that the dry humor of the original British show wouldn't translate well with American talking animals.
Flash Gordon: To be honest, I don't know much about this one, except that it's on Sci Fi, and it's about Flash Gordon, and that's enough for me to take a look.
Eureka: Sci Fi's quirky show about a town full of geniuses and their occasionally explosive "secret" government projects is perfect light summer fare.
The Closer: Kyra Sedgwick's Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson is, well, unlike any other police officer you've ever seen, and the show is a refreshing departure from the multitude of crime dramas which I inexplicably watch, even though I know all the forensics, and always know who the bad guy is.
Weeds: The entire cast of this show is delightful, and the pain and humor is all too real in Showtime's black comedy about a housewife who sells pot to support her family after her husband's untimely demise. Last season's cliffhanger ending ensured my return to this one.
Californication: David Duchovny. That is all.
Oh, and last, but not least, I'll be downloading episodes of Jericho to my Xbox 360, because any show that can be brought back from the dead by its fans has got to be worth taking a look at.
