Well, it looks like there is none in March, so.
'Sleeper'
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
I'm with erika. I keep waiting to hear from Jessica that she loves the show because I am fearful of watching the show again and its inappropriate musical interludes.
Maybe I will watch one more recent one. It's a really rare pilot that really makes me love things right away. I just thought I had enough shows...what kind of craziness is that? But they only get one more hour. I used to watch all kinds of things because I liked the actors but not really the show, hoping for the show I imagined to show up.(Spoiler alert: That only happens to Abed.)
I always give a show three episodes - the pilot, because you need to get to know the characters; episode 2 where they're figuring stuff out and fixing issues in the pilot; and episode 3 where they've figured out where they're going. If they don't grab me by 3, I stop watching. I've actually had to fire a few shows because they were just sitting on my DVR and I didn't care anymore (Lost Girl, I'm looking at you). I recorded the pilot of The Americans, but I was feeling overwhelmed by my tivo, so I deleted it. Now that I've freed up some space, I might give it a shot.
Oh, my God, Tim Olyphant. With that face, you hardly have to be good, but you are. He killed me in this one, starting from "You still look like Ava Gardner"
That was an excellent moment that I almost forgot about with everything after.
I mean, writing it out, it's a good line, I suppose, but it's the mixture of emotions Raylan said it with that made it really great. And, of course, my dad and I hardly speak so that was almost a gimme, although he hasn't told me to eat shit lately. Yay?
I think The Americans is still finding its feet a bit, but I like the cast very much and they manage to keep the tension high in each episode.
Ahahaha - one major problem with The Americans is they don't even *pretend* to make NYC double for DC, and since I've lived both places the locations are occasionally hilarious.
(Keri Russell just met with her handler right outside the public pool where I take the kids almost every weekend in the summer.)
I watched the pilot of The Americans and had major plot/backstory problems, so I haven't watched the rest. I hear it's good, so I'll probably pick it up when I run out of other things.
