Dan’s Long Weekend TV Marathon.
The joy of the long weekend means I can give myself headaches by watching TV for three days.
Here’s some of what I binged on:
Bones S1E5: In which Dr Brennan reveals a little bit more of the reason behind her poor social skills, the FBI agent played by Angel’s David Boreanaz steals the show again and everyone cries due to a really good child actor. Just don’t eat your lunch when they find the rotting child corpse! Curb Your Enthusiasm S4E6 and E7: Larry manages to offend lots of black people, and picks up a prostitute so he can use the car pool lane to get to the game on time.
Derek Acorah’s Ghost Towns S1E3 or summink:Derek goes to Maidstone in Kent and does his charlatan psychic act in dark rooms with stupid people in a state of such mass hysteria that they’ll believe anything. Danniella Westbrook gets scared but then she is a tool, isn’t she?
Family Guy s4 various episodes: Where I realise that I mostly hate this show these days.
Harry Hill’s Shark Infested Custard S1E6: Loads of bits from other weeks get used again but no vomitting Stouffer, what a shame. Some of those kids look baffled. Still good stuff.
Little Britain S3E2: Rather lowbrow in places but raised some titters as usual. That’s my laughter you’re hearing over the ‘disappointed horse’ sketch, folks!
Lost S2E8: The cop show episode. Think first and shoot later is this week’s moral but it’s a bit late for one of our cast. Whoops. And Hurley eats all the wild boars and Walt and his dog.
My Name Is Earl S2E8,9 and 10: Look, it’s Johnny Galecki as this week’s guestar! Ah, those Roseanne cast are everywhere. Sara Gilbert is in quite possibly the worst sitcom ever made, called Twins, with Melanie Griffith as her mom and some stupid girl as her twin. Yes, she has a slutty stupid twin and she is the sensible one. It is hilarious. Or rather, it is shit. I lasted for five minutes before flatlining.
Nip/Tuck S3E11: A wedding. No funerals. Just who is that carver dude? I doubt the programme makers even know at this stage. Silly nonsense but fun.
The O.C S3E6: Where the show is beginning to jump the shark, becoming a regular everyday tale of rich folk rather than a clever nerdy version of the lives of some rich folk.
The Office S2E9: We are into the characters home lives again. I thought this would be a bad idea but it is fleshing them out brilliantly, taking them further away from the thoughts of ‘this is a remake’ and that.
Peepshow s3E3: Farts and pooing are never usually funny but in this case they were hilarious. So very very wrong in places but that makes it all the better. Or summink.
Veronica Mars S2E8: Veronica is still the greatest. Wallace is still AWOL and the conspiracy theories all start to merge together. Not long til the return of Alyson Hannigan and this time she has a fight with Charisma, just like the old days in Buffy. Fantastic!
Almost time for the big reuinion bitchfight!
