Season premieres (well in my delayed little corner of the world any way)

Just watched a few and am OK with most.



Bones - impressed me. David Boreanaz managed to emote well and the mystery, though obvious right from the get-go had a surprise protagonist. Good start to the season.

Medium - another good start (actually, I watched the first two eps, back-to-back, with another two to watch tonight). I liked the story and its twists but, as always, I like the domesticity that weaves it way through everything. Just the mundaneness of existence, counterpoised with the story of the week, makes this a great thing to watch for me. I mean, you actually see people eat and go to the bathroom (not ... totally but... unlike Jack Bauer, the Man with the Bladder that Defies The Time-Space Continuum!) and have to arrange the carpooling etc.

Ugly Betty - no, not ever again.

House - First 2 eps, in fact. I get that this is all about the character and the story is just a tool for him to display his acerbic wit, but I got bored. I love the character but it just the same thing week after week. They haven't even played the whole shooting-ketamine thing very interestingly so far!

Grey's Anatomy - Was this a Lost-GA crossover or something? Not one of the flashbacks added anything to the story - oh, wait, it really is a Lost-GA crossover then! Not enough George and far too much Meredith in my opinion, but then I think that of every episode - in fact too much Meredith end-of-story! And George, you're an idiot - just tell Callie you love her and get on with it for goodness' sake!

3 minutes of ugly betty had me trying to swallow my whole arm

I forced myself to watch the entire episode - and then I had to bleach my eyeballs for 15 minutes to recover!
