Television
Been a heck of a week, really, between the death of Butch, and Charlie and me both getting colds, and various other of life's little headaches, I'm ready for a nap. Not to mention the AAAAH factor of what is going on in the world at the moment.
So, in an effort to not think about things, I am going to discuss television.
I seem to have become a fan of the 'clever detective' television genre. I recently got into the shows 'Monk' and 'Psych', (Thanks, TiVo!) and earlier this week I watched the pilot of the show 'The Mentalist'. All three shows deal with private detctive types who have mad Sherlock Holmes-like skills of observation and use them as 'consultants' to help the police.
The only show I seem to be currently watching that isn't about a detective with mad observational skills is House. A show about a doctor with mad observational skills. And there's a new recurring character who is a detective.
Wonder what that says about me?
Have any of you found a new show that you like? Anything that isn't about people with uncanny observational skills, maybe?
