So Far So Good


Machon has enjoyed fall TV thus far. Last night we caught the premiere of HEROES and we really liked it. It seems like it's going to be a X-men meets 4400 meets X-files. I thought it was delivered very well and the Japanese guy made me laugh. So what is Machon watching this fall? Here is the list:

Heroes: It seems to be well written. I really liked the opener and will watch it until it loses me. This is what happens every year and by October this list is cut in half.
Lost: No need to explain. Either you watch it or you don't
Studio 60: I loved the opener. I really did. I thought Pete was overacting a little, but lets be honest here... it's Amanda "Can I take my shirt of now?" Pete. Second show was not as good, but we love Sorkin and think this will work.
The Office: If you don't watch it, leave. Ahh, don't speak.. just walk away and never return.
Kidnapping: Not sure why I am watching this one, but I am.
The Amazing Race The Family Edition almost killed the show. It was awful, but they come back this year with some killer teams (2 already eliminated). They have the couple, 2 years into it and deciding if they should make the next step, that absolutely hates each other. They have (had) 2 groups of very attractive women. Miss New York and Miss Cali are still in it, the spunky cheerleaders are gone. They have a lady with one leg. They have a middle aged giddy gay couple, that provide serious comedic entertainment. They have a father and daughter duo, where the father cries in disappointment about his daughter being gay. Two Country Bumpkins from Kentucky who have no idea where they are. They may win; they think they are still in Kentucky. It is amazing. Good cast, I am in.
Friday Night Lights: Machon liked High School.
30 Rock: Alec Baldwin, enough said.


Watching because of Machonette:

Greys Anatomy
Dancing with the Stars
Gilmour Girls
Desperate Housewives



Add in football, hockey, basketball, college sports, reading, and the internet. I am guessing first cuts will come around next thursday. The final roster should be set in stone by the 2nd week in October.

wow buddy-
Gilmour Girls and Desperate Housewives?! The Machon I know would walk the dog for an hour during those piss poor excuses for programming.

The Machon you knew is dead. And Gilmour Girls is an underrated show.

I did not add Nip/Tuck because I do walk the dog or go to the Moan and Dove during this show. I hate it, and I see way to much Naked Man. I refuse to watch that show. I don't care if the story line is compelling. That much naked man = Machon leaving for a bar.

"grey's anatomy is the best show on tv besides Monday night Raw "

You start off the sentence with some momentum and then you have to go and say something like that?


I never said I thought any of those shows were bad (some are), I was merely saying that if Machonette did not make me watch them, I would not. Raw

You know I thought Heroes was just going to be an X-Men ripoff, but after watching it (and hearing them MENTION X-Men) I think it's actually a bit more interesting than that. . . Like you said, watch it til it loses us. . .
