A Few More Random Shows

…to add to the list of my DVR lineup (mostly to combat off-season slump) and now that school is over for a precious few weeks, I am rapidly catching up on shows after K goes to bed each night.

• Primeval: a wonky british Sci-fi show about time-shift anomalies that start showing up and spilling out various man-eating critters.   It’s soooo formulaic and funny to watch, and they even have a conspiracy sub-plot!
• NCIS: I have a conflicted relationship with this show.  FF and I started watching it about 2 seasons ago as a filler to watch if we ran out of anything interesting.  And while it is a very interesting show with creative characters, we ended up ditching it at the time because there were too many other shows we were hooked on.  A couple months ago, FF started recording it again, to have something to watch while I was doing homework occasionally and now I have rekindled an interest in the show (obsessed with Abby of course).  However I find many of their story lines near impossible to follow.  Never said I was the sharpest marble.  So I both love and am irritated by NCIS in equal measure.
• Dr G, Medical Examiner: While yes, disturbingly morbid, this show is fascinating from the forensic angle.  Dr Jan Garavaglia is a very interesting person and the show recounts investigations she has done–some criminal and some just garden variety “why did that guy die while riding a roller coaster” type.
• Mythbusters:  I don’t always watch this show, while I think is amazing and fascinating, but not something I am neurotically attached to (cough) like my other regular DVRed faves.  Who is your favorite mythbuster?  I think I would have to say Grant.  He is so nerdy and delicate compared to everyone else.
• My Own Worst Enemy: Ok so this show got cancelled mid season and abruptly taken off the air but I was kind of grooving on Christian Slater arguing with himself.  I liked the story concept mostly, and am bummed they didn’t even wrap up the series.  Stupid network execs!
