the amount of shame will always be constant

It was Guess The Guest Star's Former Show Week.

In viewing order...

( First off came Boston Legal )

( Then came Gilmore Girls )

( Then I watched Veronica Mars with some trepidation )

( And another episode of Bones, believe it or not )

( Finally, Without a Trace )

Let me think...

( There were three episodes of Without a Trace, right? )


( And then there were some Bones in a book )


( Um. Boston Legal? )

I find it amusing that "Imagine Me And You" is promoted as the Valentine's movie to see. Oh, how the times have changed.

Which is my segue from nothing into another rant about the miserable state of television today. Which is not so bad, really.

I officially love Boston Legal. Just when I think Denny has become annoying something hilarious happens, like Denise having a sexual fantasy about him and him finding out and then he's funny all over again. But Tom Selleck is even more annoying on BL than he was on Friends.

( Someone said there might be an eight season of Gilmore Girls )

( Veronica Mars reminded me of something else this week )

( Without a Trace is my deadbeat dad )

( There are so many many reasons I shouldn't like Bones )

But, see, even when Bones is bad, it isn't really. And even when WaT is good, it isn't really.

I gave up on saying anything coherent about VM. I actually typed something up, but then I deleted it, because it was just so random.

( This is just the bottom line )

For very Veronica reasons this clip from episode 207 of Bones is completely hilarius. Just, seriously. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, and the casting is totally coincidental, but just. "It's called Emo." Yeah. Um...

( Actually, I liked the whole episode )

It's Friday night and my television week is over. It would've been over two days ago, really, but I only just got around to watching Gilmore Girls now. Everything from now until Monday when I watch Sunday night's Without a Trace (with whatever excitement I can muster) is just filler.

The shocker is Bones was actually the show I enjoyed the most this week. (a mid-season one episode.) I can think of several reasons for this: 1) There are no expectations of greatness: This is just a silly crime show with a very very casual relationship to actual science. It's more about the characters than what actually happens, and even the characters I don't care too much about. 2) The awesome shocking post-opening credit (or possibly pre-opening credits, I can't remember) scene where Bones had been beaten up oh so badly. The effect of that was just so incredibly good that I didn't really care that the rest of the episode was about voodoo and stupid. Those two-three seconds of "Oh! What the fuck?!" made it totally worth it. And it's still funny, in that way where you can't really tell if the show is mocking itself or all the other shows it's trying to mimic. There are more reasons, but moving on, now.

( Because Veronica Mars got on my nerves this week )

( Gilmore Girls: Three shows for the price of one )

They referred to the same legal technicality on Criminal Intent just now as they did in one of the old episodes of WaT I watched earlier today. It takes very little to amuse me this late at night.
