Over the last little while I've caught glimpses of various shows and was hit with a sudden urge to comment on some of them. The following paragraphs will offer astute - or otherwise - observations on Gilmore Girls, CSI, Newsradio, and Family Ties. Shall we?
My wife watches Gilmore Girls. I can't digest it. Really, who talks that way? That town has to be a CIA plot to create a town inhabited by super beings.
Everyone is so articulate. Even guys with caps on backwards speak with an elevated penchant for the vernacular. And that mother-daughter tag team is completely diabolical. Any other daughter would have ended up selling body parts under such loose house rules, if you get my drift. There are no values in that show. Worse, it has no point. It's opulent drama at its best. The show gropes itself with the Gilmore girls.
Speaking of non-believable shows, how about CSI: Miami? Where to begin? First, everyone is beautiful. Even the terrorists have a certain elegant flair to them. Nothing like beautiful scummy people who wear Armani to commit their next crime. Second, I have never seen so many police officers flaunting healthy cleavages. Third, Horatio — who slips in and out of scenes like a kid with ADHD — really should consider other colors. I know black contrasts well with his orange hue but black suits in a humid environment like Miami strikes me as a tad rich. At least Crockett and Tubbs had the sense to wear pastel on Miami Vice. Blend in with the architecture, man! Fourth, I don't want to believe that an entire cop force is that smart. How much does it cost taxpayers to run those labs? Fifth, the subplots - you know, the ones that delve into the personal lives of the CSI unit - are cheesy.

Interesting that you mention "expansion" into Canada since Alliance-Atlantis, which is Bruckheimer's partner in the CSI series, is a Canadian company. But CSI: Saskatoon? I'm not sure that an LA sound stage can really capture the qualities of my home town.

Yeah, I guess you're right. 'Corner Gas' has the Saskatchewan market cornered - excuse the pun. Love that show.
