I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Sounds awesome. In a different way than Deadwood, though. And I know all y'all don't share my mad procedural love, for which I'm a contrite partial dirt-worshipper.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

If this happens, it sounds really Milch-y. And if it means no Deadwood movies... no more Deadwood sucks, but I have a deep and abiding distrust of reunion specials. coughSerenitycough

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hm. Much as I love procedurals in general, I never liked NYPD Blue. And the 70s is not a period I'm dying to see onscreen. But I'll probably watch it.

I'll definitely watch. The 70s in the NYPD is a very interesting time period. (I keep waiting for my stepdad to finish writing his book so I can turn it into a teevee show.) I just hope I like it more than JFC.

Sounds totally Serpico.

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

Hey, Flight of the Conchords was renewed! My love for that show has grown and grown to an unhealthy obsession of watching at least an episode a night. But I am thinking writing another season's worth of songs means the show will be on a Sopranos-esque torture schedule of reappearances, i.e., every 24 months or something like that.

Oh yay!! You're probably right about the schedule, though. Maybe they haven't used up their entire catlog of songs this go around.

Alan Sepinwall reported that they said they've used 90% or 98% of their back catalogue. They wrote some songs for this season, though. And I have hope-- they can easily use fewer songs and the songs will be more organic to the episode.

But but but...the gratuitous songs are my favorites!

I love the songs, but you know, I can get them on their albums. What I can't get on the albums is the brilliance of the show itself. Which it is. Fucking brilliant. !!! Love the show!
