I watched the episode of
The Good Wife,
and I see what you mean about the arc. I had a hard time getting into it. I can see that it's a good show, but it was hard to get involved with the characters this far into the season.
Sports Night
note: I noticed that Josh Charles was throwing around a baseball in his office. Does he do this in every series he's in? LIKE. If networks even do reruns in the summer anymore, I'll have to catch reruns of this. Otherwise, Netflix.
Watched two episodes of
Justified
yesterday, and I am totally on board. I wish they would stop incorporating the series title into the dialogue quite so much, but that's a minor quibble. It was v. good.
Saw the season premiere of
Breaking Bad,
and while I can tell that it's a good show, I feel the weight of a couple of seasons on unseen canon weighing on me. If I'm going to continue to watch, there's going to have to be some Netflixing first.
Saw a three-minute recap of
Damages
that my TiVo recorded for me, and, whoa. There's no way. I'm overwhelmed already. Definitely need to start with Season 1 on that one.
Haven't brought myself to watch
Survivors
yet. I'm really just waiting for the BBC to bring me S2 of
Being Human.
I misunderstood, I thought you had been watching "The Good Wife" all along. Yes, start that one over the summer at episode 1.
About Justified - it's original title was supposed to be Lawman but another show has that title so they had to change it. I'm not sure if that affected dialogue in the pilot or not.

rewatching Leverage:
"You ever been to Kiev? The cakemaker will kick all of y'all's asses."
"These peaches aren't going to poach themselves, Parker!"
"Did you just kill a guy with an appetizer?"
I rewatched that episode recently too. It's one of my first season favorites.
Ever since I was lost in Tropes, I've been waiting for Elliot to really be taken down. Like, really been gotten the best of, or at least taken down in a cheaterly fashion. Because it's true, even when he takes a hard beat-down, in the end he wins. And it's sad, but I'm jonesing terribly for a character-torture Elliot smack-down where the stakes are epic-ly high. And there isn't a single fic that cuts it for me.
"These peaches aren't going to poach themselves, Parker!"
My favorite Leverage line, bar none. I don't know why I love it so, but I do. Maybe it's just the dichotomy of the tough guy and the tender peaches.
Not exactly cable, but our local PBS station is running the original Life on Mars starting on April 1 at 10:40. Not sure if other stations are running it as well.
