I keep meaning to watch Revenge, but seriously, my DVR was full by the time I got home Friday, so I can't add something else! And have issues giving stuff up.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The only new show I'm really excited to watch is American Horror. Which could either be Twin Peaks with even more sex and blood, or a total train wreck.
This totally recommends it. But not enough to overcome my inertia.
I love that the Revenge people get the campiness. There was an article that Linda Holmes did about Charlie's Angels that mentioned that the Revenge people were giggling at the idea of EVK ending each episode shaking her fists at the sky.
To the tone deaf lead "singer" bellowing off-key at the top of his lungs 40 feet from my living room, I say: Whoever led you to believe that you have any talent as a musician LIED. I can only assume you're the sole person the guitarists and drummer know who has sufficient couch space for them to crash upon.
Jesse, I'm wishing you something really great, and quickly.
H has been under the weather (gout. not fun) so we've both been pretty low-key. He did a grocery run this morning, and put in a load of laundry. I transferred it from W to D, then folded and put them all away. Cleared the drainer and put clean dishes away, washed the dirty ones and left them to dry, scalded and filled water bottles, filled the filter pitcher, made the bed, wiped down the bathroom, wrote the neighborhood dues check for the month and balanced the checkbook, wrestled briefly with gmail, uploaded some pictures to LJ and DW, emptied the drainer again and put clean dishes away.
Need to post to flickr, crop and enhance a couple and post to Tumblr. And think about supper.
Yeah, Revenge looks all right, but I am trying to watch Ringer (um, vaguely -- I have the last two eps recorded and haven't watched yet), and they feel too similar. Plus, no one I really really LOVE is in Revenge.
Right, aurelia! Totes reasonable.
Thank you for enabling. As it turns out, Hulu+ won't help me because FOX has gone insane. It seems only Dish network subscribers can get the episodes before 8 days. And no new episodes of the current season are even on iTunes!
Amy,
there are some people on TWOP who watch Ringer and Revenge and Revenge comes out on top. I cannot stand Madeline Stowe, and yet this show has turned me around on her. That is a tough nut to crack because I really really did not like MS. At all. Nuh uh.
This show (so far) is just campy fun. And the writers seem to get that so far. The lead actress seems to be enjoying herself, so that goes a long way with me.
I like Madeleine Stowe and she is a good queen bitch.
My house is a mess and my laundry isn't put away but I'm pretty much okay with it, which is sort of nice. But usually I use football and Sunday afternoons for laundry, dishes and house cleaning.
Revenge sounds fun, maybe I will give that a watch. Not that I need more TV to watch, but, hey, DVR isn't quite full.
I'm a little afraid of American Horror Story. Which is kind of their goal, I guess?
American Horror looks like three steps beyond American Gothic (anyone remember that show? with Gary Cole and Paige Turco?), in terms of the horror and the sex. But it also looks like the sort of dreamy, unreliable narrator sort of thing Twin Peaks was.
I'm so in.
