Favorite Returning Shows

I feel like making a list of my favorite returning shows for some reason. I had a difficult time ranking them, so only #1 is definite.

Honorable Mentions

24 -- I didn’t watch last season because my DVR messed up the first recordings. I will be checking it out on DVD and I’m sure I’ll get hooked again.

The Dead Zone -- I wish they’d spend more time on the main story-line and have fewer “filler” episodes.

Desperate Housewives -- I didn’t much care for the second season, but the actors still make me want to watch.

How I Met Your Mother -- Just missed the list. I love Barney.

Monk -- Tony Shalhoub makes this worth watching.

Psych -- Light, fun show, but I've only seen two episodes so far.

Smallville -- Can be very good, but too much "filler".

My Favorites

10. Bones -- The characters and actors who play them keep this from being just another procedural show.

9. Gilmore Girls -- This show was disappointing last season. I hope it moves up the list this season.

8. Prison Break -- Despite the implausibility of pretty much everything in this show, it got me hooked and kept me on the edge of my seat.

7. Grey's Anatomy -- This is soapy, but the acting continues to impress me.

6. Everybody Hates Chris -- Very funny with a great cast. Love the Chris Rock narration.

5. Lost -- I'm hooked on this mysterious show. I just hope they know where they are going with it.

4. My Name is Earl -- These characters crack me up.

3. Scrubs -- This show is getting even crazier and I love it.

2. Battlestar Galactica -- This is very heavy drama and very addictive.

1. Veronica Mars – Easily my favorite show that is still on the air. Please check it out!


A break in the weather

We got some rain and the streak of temperatures over 100 degrees is broken. I hope it lasts a while. I haven't been riding all week, but will be going tomorrow. Woo hoo!

I just finished rewatching Once and Again on DVD. It was such a good show.

Heat and Pirates

It is hot. 94 with a heat index of 107. I may not be doing much riding in this weather.

We saw Dead Man's Chest today. I didn't like it as much as I wanted to. It was still fun and Johnny Depp is always worth watching, but something felt off. I had a headache though, so that may have effected my mood.

Movies & T.V.

I saw Superman Returns yesterday. I hadn't been looking forward to the movie, and was pleasantly surprised that I liked it. I was happy with most of the cast, though I felt Kate Bosworth was miscast. Her acting was fine; she just didn't seem to fit the part.

I am looking forward to seeing Pirates, but I will wait for the crowds to die down.

Psych, a new show on USA, premired on Friday after Monk. I loved it.
