Hugh Laurie Is In The House

The few TV shows we both like to watch are all shown on Sun­day and Mon­day nights. The only one of which we watch “live” is The Good Wife because it is on at 9PM Sundays.

So far we have found Showtime’s Home­land (Sun­days at 10 PM) very intrigu­ing. The dynam­ics sur­round­ing the return of long thought dead US Marine who was actu­ally a cap­tive in Iraq and how he and his fam­ily have been changed along with the ques­tion of whether he might have been turned into an Al-Qaeda oper­a­tive is a gold­mine for drama. After three episodes Claire Danes whini­ness has been off­set by Morena Baccarin’s nudity, but I’m not sure how much longer that will continue.

Tech­ni­cally Doc Mar­tin is on at 9:00 PM, but that is on ITV1 in Eng­land, so it really on live Mon­day after­noon here on the east coast of the USA. This gets tor­rented for watch­ing on Tues­day afternoon.

Cas­tle also gets watched on time delay because Mon­day at 10 PM we usu­ally in bed or at least get­ting ready for it.

I’m the only one enjoys House M.D., so I watched a recorded copy while Donna naps or reads. After a great first 4 sea­sons, I strug­gled through the next two years and finally quit watch­ing in sea­son 7 because of the House/Cuddy rela­tion­ship stuff. But this year Cuddy is gone, so I thought I’d check out sea­son eight. After 3 episodes I think I’m lik­ing it again. They even had a throw­back House does Clinic duty bit.

Ear­lier I was watch­ing the World Series on FOX with the sound muted (can’t stand Tim McCarver) and lis­ten­ing to it on KMOX off the net. But now that Donna has the remote with the TV tuned to HGTV. I’m lis­ten­ing to the audio of ESPN America’s broad­cast and when the sit­u­a­tion war­rants, I stop typ­ing and click on another tab of Fire­fox and watch the game thanks to a link I found on Lifehacker.
