Maybe it's the Guyanese Dollar.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Eurovision watch-and-post, anyone?
Edit: or is it in Natter, and I'm just missing it all?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
For any Aussie lurkers: Channel 7 is advertising the new Nathan Fillion show, Castle. It starts this Sunday after Bones. It is well worth watching, as Nathan is terrific in it.

Sorry, no Eurovision posting in Natter...while I occasionally see awesome costumes noted on "Go Fug Yourself" or elsewhere on the internet, and clips on YouTube linked places, we don't usually get to watch the whole thing, here in the US, much as it looks like awesome fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He's really charming, and the show has one of my favourite father/daughter TV relationships in it.

Yeah, Nathan really owns the character of "Rick Castle". Moonlit and I were discussing it, and we can't think of another actor who could play that character as effectively. Nathan just has a cheeky charm about him. I totally agree about the father/daughter relationship. The mother is good value as well.
Shir: sorry but--to quote from Castle--I'd rather have honey poured on my eyeballs and one hundred fire ants dropped on my head, than watch Eurovision.

I was saying in Procedurals that it was my favourite father/daughter relationship, but people reminded me of Jack and Zoe in Eureka and the one in Lie To Me (have you gotten that yet, with Tim Roth?). Lie To Me has a realistic relationship that's good, but it's nowhere near as cute as either of the others.

The stations over here have finally learnt their lesson about waiting too long to screen popular US shows. Hence getting Castle so quickly. We are getting Lie To Me but they're falling down on Eureka. Again I agree that those two depict good f/d relationships but they're not as good as Rick and Alexis.
eta: though it should be noted that the stations still haven't learnt their lesson about fucking up the shows by going to commercials too early. A character could be mid-sentence and they suddenly cut to a commercial break.

Well, they're falling down on Eureka here too. We haven't seen anything since last September, and the break after this next mini-season looks to be epic, since shooting isn't scheduled to resume until next MARCH. Not sure what the thinking is there.

Do they air more ads more often? It's glaring how BBC America, for instance, chops into a show with no ads to do their duty, and somewhat less so with syndicated shows on other stations (which I don't understand, since there are ad breaks in the shows already--why not just run more in the allocated spaces?).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I do want to get Jordan and Castle's daughter together and see what they'd come up with.
I love Susan Sullivan. She's so good, you don't notice how perfect she is. She was wonderful as Greg's mom on Dharma and Greg, she's been fabulous in every guest spot I've seen her in. And she was wonderful as Bruce Banner's love interest in The Hulk, years ago. She, Fillion, and the daughter actor really do have a great family dynamic.
