The reason I'm making this post is because I will soon be saying goodbye to another show that I have fallen in love with for the second time in like 3 months. Clown me if you want but unfortunately "Avatar" will be gone for good in another month or two and of course we just lost "The Wire" (believe me I'm aware and a little ashamed about the vast difference between a true to life inner-city drama and a cartoon based in a mythical land).
Is there another show that has great characters who you are not flat but dynamic and grow over the course of the series? I'm eliminating sitcoms from this as I'd like to get hooked on a drama that isn't too full of itself and doesn't mind throwing in a laugh or two. I really thought that next show I would love would be "Studio 60" but apparently I was one of the dew that really liked that show. By the way is Aaron Sorkin writing anything for TV that will be airing soon?

And even though I was pissed with how season two started, I actually think they did a decent job of wrapping the Landry storyline up without killing the show, which I thought may happen.

Even thought the concept of Season 2's Landry storyline was pretty awful, the way they wrote the Landry and Tara characters going through the (implausable) plot was incredible. The characters are so nuanced, I love the show and could care less about football.

but I actually think the Landry plot is the best thing it has going at this point. It's out there but it's being handled really well. The Mexican surgery, Matt and the nurse and Julie's constant whining are all a little too soap opera for my tastes.
The characters are still strong of course. I could use more football too.

Street's still a kid, and he's desperate so he's gonna buy into some stupid shit like that, no matter how unrealistic it could really be. I can see a kid like that being gung ho for such a stupid idea.
(I gotta finish up season one again and get back into season 2...I haven't wathced it enough yet. Only the once, basically.).

Thats the only thing I kept wondering about while they were in Mexico. Not one phone call, search party for Lyla or Jason, whose parents I would think would be worried about their crippled son going missing. And when they got back, the only one who was missed was Riggins, and that was cause he missed football practice.
and I'm going to catch up on Mad Men and Breaking Bad over the summer since everyone keeps talking about them.
I wanted to say The Shield but I think its best quality is the acting moreso than the writing. --------------------------------------- The OKP® King of the Late Pass™
The first episode of Swingtown was pretty good too. It will be interesting to see where it goes. __________________________________ http://reunionradio.blogspot.com/ June Artist of the Month: Prince
