ION, Tim Goodman reviews the new show Moonlight:
"Moonlight," on the other hand, is just flat-out awful. It's a much easier distinction. In fact, "Moonlight" may well be the worst new fall show.
This year that takes effort. "Moonlight" revolves around a nice vampire named Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin), who wants to save people and solve crimes, not bite them and commit crimes.
It's just heinous. Absurd, laughable, painful to watch - you name it, "Moonlight" has it all. Woeful acting? Check. Cheap effects? Check. Worst writing of the new season? Check. Predictability? Pretensions? Faint imitations of superior shows? Someone at CBS shouldn't just have their neck bitten, but sliced through, for this one.
(Just had one of those moments, typing that above sentence, where I was like, "Oh my god, I have a son! Hey wait, I also have a four year old and I'm married and I'm 35. How the hell did all this happen?")
That is so me (um, if you add a few years to the age). Secret admission? Every night I go in the bedroom to watch them sleep and smell their warm sleepy smell. Every night. I hope that's not too weird.
Uh-oh....
NBC Greenlights "Knight Rider" 2.0
NBC is bringing back "Knight Rider," tapping Doug Liman to produce a "Transformers"-inspired reworking of the 1980s hit action-drama series about a man and his indestructible supercar.
Peacock is readying a two-hour backdoor pilot for the project, with tentative plans to air it as a telepic later this season. Liman is open to the idea of directing, assuming his feature sked allows. If the telepic clicks, a new-model "Knight Rider" could be on the air as early as next fall.
I hope that's not too weird.
I think it's a job requirement. Also, sweet.

That's one of the scenes in The World According to Garp.
And I did that with Emmett every night until he was probably about 5 or 6. Since Matilda is in bed with us now, it's more an issue of not smelling her in the morning.
Sometimes I wonder if when Annabel is 19 and home for the summer after her freshman year in college, I'm still going to want to look in, just to make sure she's OK and hasn't kicked all the covers off and because she looks so peaceful when she's asleep.
