Maybe you entered THE TWILIGHT ZONE.<br /><br />@Sue - We've watched ONCE UPON A TIME. I tried to get into it but keep thinking they were going to string it along for years like they did with LOST and I really don't want to go through that again. :)ReformingGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990465686765948682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-70734367603503244962012-05-15T15:44:12.191-05:002012-05-15T15:44:12.191-05:00I know you were a LOST fan, me too.

A couple of the producers from LOST are involved with this show and they use "the numbers" you can catch them every now and then, last week the little kid had an Apollo bar in his backpack. I really liked the show, fav of the year!<br />I totally get Big Bang Theory, cuz I'm a geek and proud of it.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035409330352625930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-75054581692787809722012-05-14T15:25:33.256-05:002012-05-14T15:25:33.256-05:00My husband and I often remark "what would we ...My husband and I often remark "what would we do without the boy".

I'm hopeful. Ah, yes, Kiefer's new series. It's ok. I'm not hooked yet.<br /><br />@Quirky - I need to check out Flashpoint. Go, Annie, Go!<br /><br />@Rob-Bear - The news does not amuse.

I'm afraid "Lost" was rather lost on me, I never managed to get into it - but hell, I'm the one who's only recently discovered The Sopranos (ooooooooooooh, how I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that series - ahem, I'm up to series 6, episode 2 now)..Shrinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401403773851253351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-63093771886444424282012-05-13T11:22:29.932-05:002012-05-13T11:22:29.932-05:00Great post, Reffie.

One particular episode where Jack was asking questions of a husband and wife. He asked the husband a question once, husband evaded, Jack shoots wife in the knee cap. Gotta love him! <br /><br />I'm hooked on the British show Doc Martin. My son gave me a Roku for Christmas so via Netflix, I can catch each season in order on my ancient TV. It's about a prominent London surgeon who develops a fear of blood, moves to little village on the coast (which is just beautiful, Cornwall, I believe) and sets up practice there. He hates everyone, the village cast of characters is great, and if you go for dry British humor, it's a hoot! If anyone watches, pay attention to the dog. <br /><br />I also watch Deadliest Catch a lot. Many episodes are much the same thing, tough and rumble guys fishing the Bering Sea in winter for crab, but for some reason I'm hooked. <br /><br />I do catch Hot in Cleveland now and then, which can be pretty funny. <br /><br />Nothing beats Everybody Loves Raymond reruns for tried and true comedy at its best. Last few seasons weren't the great, but the early ones are classics!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02550767558199877208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-83871701285479403142012-05-13T08:02:46.705-05:002012-05-13T08:02:46.705-05:00I've never seen most of the shows you've m...I've never seen most of the shows you've mentioned.

She was not going to follow the mindless crowd. No way.<br /><br />Now she realized what she was missing and watches EVERY L&O marathon she can.<br /><br />I have yet to learn to appreciate any NCIS show.<br /><br />heh heh<br /><br />And good call on Lost. And I really liked that show. So sad it was too loosely tied up at the end. Me no likey.<br /><br />Oh, and I love the Covert Affairs show! Annie rocks!<br /><br />Oh, and there's another show that is sort of L&O "lite." Flashpoint. Heard of it.<br /><br />It's okay.

It was good, so I'm hooked. Loved the first season of 24 but lost interest after that. I also love Sutherland. I've heard his new show is good.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175778756449339363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287878009139006493.post-31764873433711626302012-05-12T21:53:01.545-05:002012-05-12T21:53:01.545-05:00I'm a fan of Person of Interest, speaking of r...I'm a fan of Person of Interest, speaking of reincarnated Lost characters. For some reason, I'm drawn to Awake, even with its unbelievable premise, i.e., "I'm awake. I'm asleep," good shrink/bad shrink, orange/blue world.<br /><br />I've only watched Hawaii Five O once, the other shows I haven't seen.<br /><br />I like the true crime murder mysteries that used to air on Court TV.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403714167201265834noreply@blogger.com
