I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Sure, there's no Gus, but it's got plenty of humor. Just not laugh-out-loud. And I personally find Psych to be annoying and unfunny 90% of the time.

Most importantly, Simon Baker is adorable, especially his "I didn't sleep a wink last night" rumpled unshaven scene with the Big Gulp.

I would almost compare him to Greggory House, in that he uses his intelligence and powers of observation to stir up trouble amongst his colleagues and everyone else around him. Except not as mean or miserable. Maybe a little mean. But with a smile!

Art Crawl!!!

I'm going to watch it on Friday when they repeat the pilot.

On Demand is a pita for me since I got tivo. It is possible that I need new batteries from my comcast remote.

Yeah? The commercials made it look like Psych without the funny, which didn't sound so appealing

That's what I was thinking too, but OTOH

Sure, there's no Gus, but it's got plenty of humor. Just not laugh-out-loud. And I personally find Psych to be annoying and unfunny 90% of the time

I kind of agree with this. Not quite 90%, but I find that the main character can be really annoying. Unfortunately, I love Gus and they sometimes are hilarious, like the show about the duet singing contest where they did the Tears for Fears/Michael Jackson thing.

Any time there's singing involved Psych is golden.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Did anyone post this? It's an interview with Doris Egan, a House writer. She talks quite a bit about fan fiction and House/Wilson. [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That is a great article.

Huh. TV writers seem to have found out about Ehlers-Danlos recently. It was just mentioned on Bones, and it was suggested as a diagnosis on House last season. I don't think I'd ever heard it mentioned on TV before that.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

askye - sorry I didn't see your question until this evening.

answer: all we saw was him pull the gun. the next time we saw her she was shaking on the floor with her gun out, and Gibbs took the gun and hugged her. They all assumed the dead guy was the spy.

Thrive to spite them
