That's it. OH!!! And Springsteen was on Jimmie Fallon the other night for an hour he played Because The Night (one of my favotire springsteen songs) with The ROOTS! And it killed!!!! After it was over the whole band looked at each other like "What the hell just happened?" It was amazing. I might just watch that every night until something better comes along.<br /><br />Eileen - i just saw some of that show you're talking about - I think Adam is getting into it.Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-16487824275353970292010-11-18T00:24:33.502-05:002010-11-18T00:24:33.502-05:00I think it's on FX.

Good relationship drama. Goofy cases. I'm loving Donal Logue in it and frankly adore the theme song (is that a terrible reason to watch a TV show?).Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-27891792658492802112010-11-17T16:47:07.371-05:002010-11-17T16:47:07.371-05:00I liked Good Wife - but it's one of those show...I liked Good Wife - but it's one of those shows I keep missing. Must remember to DVR!<br /><br />Castle I gave up on. I can't do the - we're so hot for each other - but we're NOT going to sleep with each other thing.<br /><br />Bones was the only show that gave me a legitimate reason to believe the long slow growth of the "romantic" element - they both had so many issues to overcome.<br /><br />But then of course the creater blew it to hell with the "other" woman storyline. You know so they could drag it out another season. Ughh!!!<br /><br />I would almost say - drop the romance entirely. Can't they just be a man and woman working together... but then I remembered X-Files. Chris Carter tried really hard... but in the end he caved. That didn't work either becuase of instead of growing towards it, it suddenly happened.<br /><br />Don't get me started on TV. I'm down to like 4 shows and Boardwalk Empire only has 3 episodes left!Stephanie Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448686465587131952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-16049657621435951472010-11-17T14:22:25.428-05:002010-11-17T14:22:25.428-05:00Yes, I think it would make me crazy that they drop...Yes, I think it would make me crazy that they dropped that mystery about her mother, because that starting at the end of the first season is what made me think it might get more interesting for me. <br /><br />I enjoy the banter, too and have a feeling if I watched more I'd eventually get drawn in, but not sure I want to... I, too, found that episode you're talking about when his book came out funny. The bad review in some obscure newspaper, too... :)<br /><br />I think if I didn't have so many other weekly must sees I'd enjoy this one more. Seems that these days TV for me either has to be mind-blowing or mindless. Mad Men or America's Next Top Model. No in-betweens. ;)Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-86692450034543169322010-11-17T13:22:08.886-05:002010-11-17T13:22:08.886-05:00I do love Castle, but based on what you're say...I do love Castle, but based on what you're saying, you shouldn't waste your time. They started to have an overarching mystery thing (the murder of Beckett's mother) and then dropped it like a hot potato. <br /><br />I like the fun banter and goofy cases. They pretty much had my heart during the first season when Castle's new book comes out and his mother calls to tell him that no one is buying it at the bookstore where she's standing. I have some "helpful" semi-relatives like that. :-)<br /><br />Speaking of books, though, we bought the "Richard Castle" book that came out last year. Reading a book by a fictional character who is supposedly fictionalizing his real-life experiences was sort of a double meta experience. :-)<br /><br />Oh, and The Good Wife remains superb. I just love it.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-66506288661014259412010-11-17T10:13:29.365-05:002010-11-17T10:13:29.365-05:00Thanks Maureen.

I do like The Good Wife but don't have time to watch. Will have to catch up later.Kwanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428954660974395117noreply@blogger.com
