Did anyone else watch Lie To Me?

I only watched with half attention, had to get some cooking and some laundry done in prep for tomorrow, but it seemed interesting. A little more narrow gimmick than The Mentalist, I don't know if that will turn out to be a strength or a weakness. Just like The Mentalist, though, I think the more interesting stories would revolve around what happens when their conclusions turn out to be wrong. Infallibility is boring.

I watched. I enjoyed it enough that I've added it to my season pass for now. I think it could become very johnny-one-note quickly, but I think they also put in enough interaction between the team members to make that a decent portion of the show, too.

Infallibility is boring.

not when Simon Baker looks that adorable being infallible.

I didn't care for it actually. If I hadn't been watching the Mentalist already, I might feel differently, but two of the same kind of show? No can do.

I was going to record it but tivo can only grab two things at once and it ran into the 9 pm or Law & Order timeslot. (I was already recording Lost.)

If it doesn't do that next week, I might try it then.

See - I know I don't have Le nubian's problem because I already watch The Mentalist and Psych.

ha! yeah, I can't get into Psych - but I'm not much for comedies except 30 Rock.

BTW, L&O has been firing on all cylinders lately. I liked this week's ep also, especially the last 5-10 minutes.

Yeah, L&O has been excellent.

(BTW, I thought Jack's dad was a NY cop - but now he was Chicago cop. Huh.)

On House this week: Foreman is a lying liar who lies. Not cool. He seems to keep jumping back and forth over the "don't want to be like House" line, and lying to Thirteen about changing the appointment times is definitely on the wrong side of it.

Turns out Lie to Me is educational!

It's ripped directly from Malcolm Gladwell's book Blink, down to the Kato Kailin footage, the scorn look in marriage...even the lead character's name...Lightman, versus Gottman (the scientist who studies facial expression and truth).

eta: 2 more things. I'm grateful that Roth is using his own accent and I'm wondering how rigorous the casting for this show will have to be. Being able to mimic specific micro-expressions can't be a universal skill.

Despite my rampant Simon Baker love, The Mentalist has sort of lost me...what with the crummy writing and cliches. I like the sciency aspect of LtM. It's less magical and handwavey.

Plus. It's DC. And cool music. And moral amiguity-a-mundo.

Okay. Going on record with: I like it.

Oh man. I had just started to like Knight Rider...much against my own better judgement. Then, this last episode? Defined the shark jump on a level the Fonz could never have imagined. I was quite actually squinting at the screen with a whattheeverlovingfuck expression that frightened my poor dog.

Pass the brain bleach and a judgment upgrade chip. I am so ashamed.

Wait. Is KR more appropriate in Boxed Set?
