JM's normal accent drives me nuts. He uses all these "yeah, yeahs" and "uhms" when he can't get his thoughts together, which is frequently. So then he takes off speaking a mile and minute with the yeah-yeah thrown in willy-nilly. As a result, he babbles. Makes him sound brainless, which he isn't. In Spikespeak, he's more deliberate about what he says, so it's slower and deeper. Very easy on the ears. Someone should tell him during his interviewss that TV is TV, you don't have to fill the silences as you do in radio. People will watch you twiddle your thumbs in silence if you make the thumb twiddling interesting looking. Also, it gives you time to think about what you say, so you don't babble.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Angel's replacements next season -- a Jeff Foxworthy comedy, and a Drew Carey improv-with-animation show.
Uh-huh. Bets on how long they last?

There is one good thing about Angel's cancellation. I'll never again have to watch an ad for other WB shows. If I can avoid Fox, now, I'll be an exceedingly happy woman.

Do you watch 24, connie? That's my only FOX show. I don't know if I can give it up next season. I have no WB shows as of 10:01pm, this Wednesday.

My guilty pleasure is Tru Calling. I'm actually hoping it will be renewed. However, if it doesn't, I'll gladly wait for Joss to write something for Eliza.

SailAweigh, have you given Joan of Arcadia a shot? It's my new, guilty pleasure. I'm not even sure I feel guilty, but I think maybe I should.

That lets me out. (Actually I have watched it, and dh used to watch it a long time ago, and I enjoy it when I do. I just never adopted it.)

I tried it Cindy. It just didn't appeal. I'm not much for high school shows. Even the first few seasons of Buffy didn't hold as much interest for me as after she graduated high school.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The upfronts are this week. Early reports say TC and Arrested Development have both been renewed.
