television ramblings

CBS has a new summer show called Swingtown, you may have heard of it. It's super-cheesy and 70s and about swingers. I mean, what more could you want? The first ep aired Thursday and I am pretty much hooked. I really hope CBS airs all six episodes they've filmed because I'm loving it. It's just so awful that it's good. Plus I have a major crush on Jack Davenport (even though I didn't really realise he was the same guy from Coupling and that he was Norrington from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies).

So, yeah, it's summer, there's nothing on TV except crappy reality tv shows, so why not watch a kick back to the 70s and swinging. I hope there's an episode about key parties. It wouldn't be a swinging show otherwise.

Except the show isn't just about swinging, you know. And the innuendo is ridiculous. But I'm excited about the show.

A TV show that I haven't been very excited about has been Doctor Who. I think of this recent series I've only watched maybe half of what's aired so far. I didn't watch any of the episodes with Martha in them and I didn't watch the most recent arc because I didn't like what was supposed to be happening in it. However, I did absolutely LOVE the Agatha Christie episode, it seriously may be my favorite back in time Doctor Who episode. I thought this season would be amazing because Donna grew on me and OMG Rose is coming back, but I just haven't even bothered with it. I'm just disappointed because I was so excited and it's really disappointed me. Boo.

One more television thing: the powers that be are releasing Sports Night on DVD with extras. I'm excited but not really because I am not going to buy it. I just hope everything's on youtube within a week of its release. I spent $20 for my used DVD set I have, I will not be spending $70 for another set of it. It's ridiculous to own two sets. I love Sports Night. I think I may watch a few episodes before going to bed. I think a Dan Rydell fest would not be amiss.

So that's my ramblings on TV for now. Ciao.
