Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.

This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]

Not javachik

Procedurals show plug: "Life" is absolutely delightful. It's a solid procedural with a running backstory unspooling about how the lead character, a cop, was convicted of a crime, then freed when, presumably, he was found not guilty. He keeps investigating the unknown circumstances of his own case while going about his job. Now, I missed the first few eps, so I'm not sure how much I don't know because I missed it, or how much we just don't know yet. We know that he got a huge settlement, that his lawyer is a beautiful woman, that one of the terms is that he stay away from the accusing/now retired cop who help convict him. We know and he and his best pal from prison played by Adam Arkin (who is funny, and good) are living in the LA Hills and ... uh, you know what, just go here: [link] There isn't much else out there about this show (admittedly quick Google search.)

The thing about it is that it has some really great writing. Some of the lines Charlies delivers are just so... GOOD and funny, and he delivers them with the right amount of underplayed and zingy. I love this show.

[link] It's not doing so well in the rating, and I really want this show to stick around. Go check it out, PLEASE!!

Thrive to spite them

I'm really really enjoying Life. I'm really hoping it will stick around. NBC has shows that are worse (I'm sure).

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I think I'm more in love with Life than I am with Heroes at this point. While I squee and flail with delight while Heroes is on, I'm not really thinking about it two minutes after it's over. I'm not waiting in anticipation for the next ep and digging up every tidbit I can find to tide me over.

Numb3rs was interesting and almost supernatural, to go with all my other Friday shows. Charlie was looking especially hot and we got some resolution on Megan and Colby.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I really, really want Alexis Denisof to guest on Life - - playing an Englishman.

It would just amuse me so much.

I keep up because I have NO LIFE.

Sigh.

I have no life either, but I do need to sleep.
