Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Anyone heard positive or negative about Memphis Beat starting tonight? I'm hoping for "different show, but same quality" as Justified.

I think that they are going to try to add an element of comedy/absurdity to your typical cop drama. Somewhere between Justified and Reno 911. I liked Jason Lee on My Name is Earl, so I'll give it a shot.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Looks like they are on AVoD for $3 an episode. I may break down and just put the DVDs in my netflix queue. Thanks for pointing out an option though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

They are $2.99 per episode for HD, $1.99 for standard (I can't tell any difference on my laptop), and $1.89 for standard if you buy a season pass.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Saving Grace is two hours tonight.

It's two separate eps, according to tivo.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Scared me, Theresa. Memphis Beat starts tomorrow, Tuesday.

Thrive to spite them

I realy liked the premiere. There were so many great touches -- and Bonano! So glad to see him and that he's okay. The team was awesome, loved the high tech board thingies.

Oh and when Harrison and Parker were dancing she was still dangling from the rig.

It looks like next week is 2 episodes in a row, in a way I'm glad -- 2 hours of Leverage! But that probably means a week less of Leverage in the long run.

Next week is two hours of Leverage because they aren't on the week after that - it's July 4th. After that they go to one episode per night until the run is finished.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, god, the NLP that Sophie uses on Eliot at the start of The Reunion Job is just beautiful. As is the dirty look Eliot has on his face when he talks about bonsai. I love the little stuff. Rewatch heaven.
