Hi Everyone! Hope you are all watching Rizzoli and Isles on TNT at 10pm. It’s awsome just like I knew it would be!
A couple others are Drop Dead Diva, on Lifetime I think it’s on at 9pm, and I know it’s on at midnight becuase it’s on after Army Wives at 10pm. So it’s about this stuck up model, who died in a car accident, but she got stuck in another woman’s body, she’s a very smart lawyer and very heavy set. The only 2 who know are her best friend (before she died) and her guardian angel. I think it’s in it’s 3rd season but I just started watching it. it’s pretty good! and the other one is on nick at nite I think the new show with Betty White, HOT in Cleveland. It’s really funny! It’s got that english girl from Frasier, that one lady from Kristey Alley’s show that was set in a magazine (cant think of the name). and whats her name, the Jenny Craig sponser, cant think of anyones name today! ARGH!
Anyhoo, just some good shows to check out!
and like it. Both girls are good in their roles. I hated when The Women’s Murder Club got cancelled so I got at least one of them back.
Drop Dead Diva sounds good. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks for putting us on to it.
Anybody watch Burn Notice? I LOVE that one. It took me a couple of episodes to get hooked but I’m into my third season now. I love the dry humor and the ‘creative’ solutions (think MacGuiver) they come up with.
Bonbon,
I love Rizzoli and Isles. I was reading Tess Gerritsen before she had this series on tv. You should watch Drop dead diva, it’s touching, hilarious, you name it it’s good! I havent seen Burn notice. The reverand that comes to visit me from Hospice was telling me about it and it’s really good, he watches it. what channel and time is it on??
I saw bits and pieces of Drop Dead Diva and couldn’t figure out the storyline so I didn’t watch more. Now that I know what it’s about it does sound kind of interesting.
I like The Mentalist and getting into Rookie Blue. Rookie Blue is Grays Anatomy in a police station. Also like Warehouse 13, Eureka,Royal Pains and Lie to Me. Then on A&E there’s Billy the Exterminator.
on Thursdays at 9:00. I got into Royal Pains because it comes on right after it. I keep thinking I’m not going to watch RP any more and then I watch another episode and really enjoy it. The trouble with both of these shows is that it’ll probably take a few episodes before you can get to know the characters and know what’s going on.
Burn Notice – Michael Weston was a spy who got "burned," which means they wiped him out of the system and he is virtually personae non grata. They explain it a little at the beginning. He, his girlfriend (a weapons expert), good buddy (former law enforcement), mom (Sharon Gless), and now another burned spy, take on different jobs while Michael continues to look for the bad guys that got him burned.
Royal Pains – Hank, an ER doc, got fired because he treated a poor patient before a big, rich honcho at the hospital. Then, while at a posh party in the Hamptons, he treated some rich guy and saved his life. So he was offered a place to stay (at his HUGE mansion) and he was encouraged to become a consierge doctor, in other words, a doctor who was available on call to anybody on the island who could afford him, although he does a lot of pro bono work too. His brother, a former CPA, lives with him and is CFO of "HankMed." He’s the comedy relief. Hank also has a very attractive Indian PA who works with him and he has become VERY good friends with the administrator of the local hospital.
There! That should get you started. I wasn’t going to watch Burn Notice but while at my son’s, he was watching and I got hooked. I think it’s one of the better shows on TV now.
I like how they have all four characters as the focus at one time or another on each episode and it all meshes together incredibly well! The dialogue gets pretty adult with a lot of hilarious sexual inuendo! The show that Wendy Malik was on was entitled, "Just Shoot Me" with Laura Giancommo. Jane Leeves was on "Frasier" and the Jenny Craig spokesperson is Barbara Bertinali. Not sure on any of those name spellings. They even get some of the older actors from former shows on like Tim Conway and Carl Reiner. What a hoot!
and would never think that the explanations they come up with for combustion would ever truly work, but it’s the explanations that I find most interesting, although the stories are terrific, too.
I also am hooked on Boston Med, an eight-part series airing Thursdays at 10:00 p.m., EST. I find the distinction between the career/personal lives of these doctors, nurses, EMT’s, all to be very similar to ER, except that this is a real life trauma/drama show involving 3 major hospitals in Boston and what goes on in their ER’s and OR’s, and I find myself glued to my TV when it’s on. One of the shows is about an actual face transplant, but the stories and lives behind these patients and their illnesses are also remarkable.
Thank YOU! I could NOT think of anyone’s name on that show! That drives me crazy!! And the Jenny Craig spokeswoman’s name is Valerie!! not Barbara….I finally thought of it!
it dawned on me that her character’s name was Barbara on the show she was in during the 70’s with Mackenzie Phillips. I’m obviously getting my fact and fiction mixed up!
Valerie played Barbara Cooper on "One Day At A Time" 1975-1984. Joe Jonas (Jonas Brothers) will play her son on an upcoming episode. Jane Leeves was the "virgin" on a few episodes of Seinfeld. Wendie Malik also made a guest appearance on Seinfeld (didn’t almost everyone?). She played a chiropractor with a dated hairdo. By the way, Valerie is 50 and Jane and Wendie are both 49. Looking good, ladies.
Betty is a hoot! She was funny back 50’s/60’s (when you couldn’t say some of the things that they say today) in the days of Password with her husband Alan Ludden.
Oh yes, she was full of inuendo’s and the look she’d get led you to think you knew where her mind was on that one.
Her little role on Ugly Betty a couple of seasons ago when she was suing Wilhelmena for knocking her down was great.
when they get a little racy but I think Betty is just the right person to pull it off. She’s just got something about her that makes it okay. I’ve ALWAYS loved her, way back when she was on Password with her DH. What was that, the 60s?
Boy, you gotta admit, that woman hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. I sure I hope I’m as spry as her at that age. Mentally, especially.
