Am I the only one who liked it better when Booth and Bones were more friends than anything else?
I think that the ship angle was there early, but I much prefer the eps where they don't really play it. I keep getting bored with Bones because of the same old, same old procedural stuff (same with House). Then I keep coming back because I love the characters (same with House).
Jericho, I don't know, I keep thinking it will turn a corner and become something I really like, but it hasn't yet. I feel obligated to watch it, though, in case it starts being really good.
I'm sort of here, but without quite the sense of obligation. I love the characters of Bones, but the arc-y goodness of Jericho. I end up going back and forth between them. It's kind of frustrating that they're on at the same time, as I like both, but don't adore either enough to quit the other.
eta: I like the character of Cam fine, but does it bug anyone else that she seems
way
too young to have her position? I have a hard time with handwaving that. She seems much younger than Brennan to me.
I love the procedural nature of the show--I find it very soothing, and the characterisation is like super-aweseme bonus for me.
Hm. From network TV I watched S60 and Black Donnellys (cancelled), Friday Night Lights (finished), Criminal Minds, Bones, Numb3rs, Grey's, Gilmore Girls, House, and NCIS. Of the network shows we don't have other threads for.
God, I watch a lot of shows.
You might try a lateral move to
Without A Trace
which offers up some mysteries that aren't slam-dunks from the first scene....
Looks like they're airing the Bones pilot on Friday night, for those who want it check it out from the beginning. Don't know if they're going to keep rerunning it or not.

Oh god there's no way I could take on something more. I'm already way too invested in the procedurals I currently watch.
I might disagree a tad with Theo there. I actually gave up Without a Trace several months ago and I have no regrets. I watched it from the first ep and I found the show becoming a bit too depressing. Seeing as how I watch a non-stop block of crime, this may be saying a lot. I gave up Cold Case for similar reasons.
I think that Fox does intend to run Bones repeats on Fridays for a while. I'm not sure while.
I gave up WAT for BSG - and then DF and now Blood Ties.
But now that I only have Blood Ties - I can watch Cold Case again.
Oh and there is some teeny tiny minor hope for Black Donnellys . . . apparently, if NBCs pilots suck and the streamed shows and downloads from itunes do well, they may bring it back. Minor hope.
Tonight: we can talk GA in here!
Also er! And I imagine some will be chatting about c.s.i. -- although it is a repeat.
So...seriously, WTF is up with 24 this season? Did someone from the network tell them they needed more standalones? Because normally by this time in the day, they've at least got some momentum going.
Vice President Evilface is boring me to tears. Chloe's being given nothing to do. Jack's gone rogue again, and I don't care. It's all wrong.
I know. Having the adrenaline rush of Drive right before 24 is really showing up all of 24s faults.
I'm just glad Heroes is coming back next week so I'll have something else in that timeslot.
