The Closer
I forgot to mention in yesterday's post about summer tv that I also like "The Closer." It's weird for me to say that Kyra Sedgwick is one of my favorite actresses and I love her in everything she's ever been in. Why is that weird for me to say? Well, ever since I was a teenager and Kevin Bacon was on "The Guiding Light," I wanted to marry him. (He was the only reason I watched that show. It was my mom's soap, not mine.) So, when he married Kyra, I wanted to hate her. But I couldn't. Number One, she's too good an actress to hate. Number Two, now that they've been (seemingly) happily married for years and years, and I've matured a bit (hard as that may seem to believe by reading this blog), I'm happy that Kevin is happy. And, Lord knows, you gotta give celebrity couples who actually stay together a lot of credit. It seems there aren't many out there, so it's always nice to see that there are some good role models. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward are a prime example. The late Hume Cronin and Jessica Tandy were another. And John Travolta and Kelly Preston can be counted among the group as well. I like that.

The 4400
With the glut of reality shows during the summer months, I'm so glad I found an actual show with a plot and characters and all the good stuff. "The 4400" on USA is awesome! It's a reason to watch television on Sunday nights again. (OK. A shirtless Ty Pennington is a good reason, too, but I'm talking about non-reality shows.) I think I like it even more than "Lost," which I discovered in reruns. For some reason I didn't watch it the first time around. In a way, I wish I had because it's just that good. Then again, if I had watched it the first time around, what would I watch now?

More Big Brother
I have mixed feelings about Janelle. I either hate her or she's my favorite. Weird, huh?
Eric better watch it or he's outta there, unless he, Ivette or Maggie win all the HoH competitions. He probably thinks he's making himself invaluable by acting like the leader but, actually, he's pissing everyone off.
I guess most of the houseguests aren't dumb after all. I think they've all figured out there are other "partners" in the house besides themselves.
I hope the other "secrets" aren't as lame as the secret room. I'm still curious about the safes in there, though.

Big Brother 6
I wish CBS would have waited a little longer to tell us which houseguests were partners. I liked guessing. So far, it's been the only interesting part of the show. And, I already guessed that Howie and Rachel and Maggie and Eric were partners. Also, I was wondering if the producers thought the houseguests were stupid enough to believe they were the only "pair" in the house. After seeing some of the interviews last night, I guess the answer is "Apparently so." Have these people never seen the show? If I got chosen for Big Brother and they put me in the house with someone I already knew, my first reaction would be "There's no way we're the only pair in the house."
Anyway, I'm glad Ashlea is gone. I couldn't stand her. Don't know why. I just couldn't. But I do like Kaysar. Again, I don't know why. I just do. I'm not sure if I have a favorite houseguest yet but I'm leaning toward either Maggie or Rachel.

Big Brother 6
I know it's only been one show but, so far, I'm not impressed. OK. I'm impressed with the house but the houseguests didn't do anything for me. Actually, they seem kind of boring. But, as I said, it's only been one show. We'll see. And I can't really get too interested in the forums yet because I don't care enough about any of the houseguests to want to know what they're doing.

Contagious Addiction
I got my mom addicted to Countdown, too. I asked her if she watched last night to see Scott McClellan's "WTF Do We Do Now?" performance concerning Karl Rove. (I did word it differently, however. She is my mom after all.) She said she was disappointed that she fell asleep because she really wanted to hear what Keith had to say about it. She seemed less disappointed when I told her it was Alison because Keith is on vacation, although she does like Alison. See? That's how addicted we are. We're on a first-name basis with Keith Olbermann and Alison Stewart. I think the only other news person I refer to by first name only is Jane (Pauley).

The Real World
You know you're getting older when you'd rather do the father of a "Real World" roommate than the roommate himself. On the other hand, I am still watching "The Real World," so that must count as something toward the youth factor.
This is the first season I've watched since the first 2 or 3 episodes of Hawaii. I don't know why I find this group of roommates so compelling. It's probably because all but one are there for one reason: To hook up. It'll be interesting to see who hooks up with whom and how much they end up hating each other by the time it's over. One more thing: Wes is every guy in college I hated.
On a semi-related note: I'm so looking forward to "Big Brother 6" tonight. I know it's dumb and unrealistic, but I'm addicted anyway. Let the scheming begin!
