Monday Season Pass: House Episode by Episode Probation: Terra Nova Guilty Secret: Castle I really hope that this is the final season of House.

DVDs: Bride and Prejudice: A Bollywood take on Austen’s Pride and Prejudice with lots of dancing and singing. Austen is a perfect fit for an Indian make over, and I think I prefer it to the monsterification which is the latest trend for Austen’s work. It’s a definite improvement on the Joe Wright – Keira [...]

Since my monthly Netflix payment is going up, and I need a push to review the stuff I’ve seen I figure that a monthly review is a good way of making sure I am still getting value for money from Netflix. DVDs: Nights in Rodanthe – Awful, awful film. It’s all about “old” people finding [...]
Summer TV Update

I am still a devotee to USA Network, and enjoying White Collar, Covert Affairs, Burn Notice and Royal Pains. They are all very silly: rat pack con man helping out the FBI, ex-Coyote Ugly gal spies for the CIA with her blind side-kick, burnt spy sets up A-Team in Miami, and doctor makes house calls [...]
Why I (still) love Netflix

Like most people I am not a fan of price hikes. Every time I book a flight back to the UK I weep for days because I remember the time when I could fly there AND back for less than $400 (and you wouldn’t land hungry). But, there is not much I can do as [...]
Good Last night’s Chuck slayed it when Chuck disarmed a bomb with apple juice and Awesome’s pep talk to Mrs. Awesome Remembered choc cake in freezer (am turning into a squirrel ferreting food away) Caught up with two seminars so only one left to tackle tomorrow before essay time Chinatown lunch date tomorrow Meh Day [...]
Alex and I just finished a Top Chef marathon (Season 5: New York). Given how much we enjoy watching foodie and other chefie programs you’d have thought we’d have discovered Top Chef sooner but no between Extreme Cake challenges, Chopped, Ace of Cakes, Kitchen Nightmares (BBC America version), Last Restaurant Standing (BBC America), Hell’s Kitchen [...]

The dog days of summer are dragging on (it’s still too warm and my course materials haven’t shipped yet) BUT tonight kicks off the fall TV season. Who cares if we are still running the AC and it’s not yet hot latte weather we can slump in front of the telly and watch something other [...]
