Episode 2,541 (yes really) : The Return Of McCcoy
Good news! Talk About The Passion is back after its hiatus.
It’s regenerated but does not play the spoons and is incapable of gurning… and not talking of that at all, did you see Sylvester McCoy playing a has-been kids’ TV star on Doctors (with peculiar Scottish/Generic Northern accent and magical traffic lollipop) and a has-been ventriloquist (with peculiar Scottish/Cockney accent and homosexual dummy co-star) on Casualty?
Good times for television but it’s all overlapping in my brain: Monica from Heroes turned up in Pushing Daisies in the same week that Heroes featured The Wire’s Marlo Stanfield and Bubbles as some of the new villains. We’re only up to season two of The Wire (we have a bit of a backlog) and have just seen Holly from The Office discover thirteen dead bodies at the docks. What’s next? Doctor Suresh as a pie-loving gangsta with a paper fetish? Well it wouldn’t be that far-fetched considering his current plot, would it? I am loving Heroes at the moment even though it is completely insane. I suppose that’s the extreme comicbookness of the whole thing, what with it being like one of those old crazy X-Men series crossover stories. I forsee a cull as there are maybe a few too many characters at the moment (well it is Hollyoaks with powers) but it’s fun and fun is what we need. Pushing Daisies is okay but something seems a bit off. The current episode showed improvement but it always makes me want pie, damnit. Never a taxidermist-approved dog though, although that would fit in well over at True Blood where it’s as comicbook as Heroes. There seems to be a rule of one murder and one bum shot per episode but it’s another of those very silly but entertaining shows that I recommend to the geeks.
Meanwhile, here are the rest of my non-essential Christmas List DVDs:
Inexplicably popular school inspector memoir peddler Gervais Phinn does Macaulay Culkin?
Scooby-Doo meets Batman? Hmm… now that I think about it, I wouldn’t mind this one.
Thriller? Only if he drove over the cliff. How tiresome.
Just an unfunny c**t.
Oh those poor parents. How much more milk can Disney get out of those overly-styled ‘high schoolers’? Still, at least it “works with any DVD player”!
I have other better things on my real Christmas list. Well I did, but I kept buying them.
Memo to self:
Do not Facebook-stalk the cast of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
