bex77There have been more new shows and new episodes of old shows this summer than I can ever remember. I've taken a look at bunch, and here's my take on them:
Royal Pains (USA) - LOVE IT
Smart, funny, different, gorgeous architecture of the Hamptons and Campbell Scott. Yum. It's kind of like "Lives of the Rich and Famous" mixed with medical MacGuyver. It works.
Added it to my weekly roster.
Mental (FOX) - like it
It's just like House, MD, except the lead doc is NICE! And very nice looking. And he's a shrink, so there's all sorts of funky brain stuff going on.
Added to my weekly roster.
Listener (NBC) - eh
Had its moments but poorly written.
Virtuality - no, wish I hadn't
I watched it to see more of Nicholaj Coster-Waldau, but it stank big time.
The new episodes of "Law & Order:Criminal Intent" are good. I didn't think I'd like Jeff Goldblum, but he is growing on me. I try to watch "In Plain Sight" but it focuses too much on the lead agent's personal life, when I am really interested in the witness protection stuff.
I'm looking forward to more episodes of "Leverage" that starts up again July 15 on TNT. It rocks.
I didn't catch up with The Philanthropist (which got good reviews), Merlin or HawthoRNe (which got terrible reviews). Anyone see those?
