Anyone watching this on TNT? I am enjoying it. I like the approach with a brilliant schizophrenic amateur sleuth helping a FBI agent solve crimes. Eric McCormack and Rachel Leigh Cook are good on this show.

Eileen No, I haven't watched, I have seen the ads. Lately I've been looking for things to watch because it's been slim pickens for anything that isn't reality based. What night and time is the show on?

Sort of like "A Beautiful Mind" meets Bones huh?

It looked interesting but I haven't seen it yet.

That's exactly what someone else said, Hugh. Check it out. I think you'd like it.


message 6: by Eileen (new)

Eileen I watched it last night and you're right Lady D., it's a good show.

The only thing that kinda of bothered me is the older guy and young women thing. I know why they do it. To get a larger demographic to watch. I just wish they were closer in age. Women over 25 can me smart and sexy, too!

I think she's about thirty or so. So that's a little better. I think Rachael just looks young. But I agree that I wish there was more older women on TV. That's why I love shows like Rizzoli and Isles. They are in their thirties at least.

Larry Seeley (lfseeley) | 82 comments There's a new show coming in the fall named "Orgasm". Whenever the main character has one, he identifies a serial killer.

Well, I guess the show won't last very long.

I like the concept of this show, how Daniel's schizophrenia equips him to help solve crimes. I like how this is visualized on the show as people who don't exist in real life, but merely in Daniel's imagination.


message 11: by Eileen (new)

Eileen I'm a big fan of Eric McCormack, have been since Will and Grace. I had to look up Rachel Cook and she's 32, lucky girl. She could pass for a 22 year old.

Or maybe Eileen is hanging out with the wrong people.

Watched the first 3... Don't really like it.

What don't you like about it, Mike?


Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 2933 comments Mod
Just got real preachy real fast. The one about the "evil business man" just made me sigh. Been there done that. Pure propaganda. They apparently used the Monsanto flap as a springboard and came up with another trite plot. It's like what happened to Law and Order after 20 years but they've incorporated it into the first 3 shows.

The idea was okay I guess, the schizophrenic doctor who talks to hallucinations and sometimes can't tell them from reality. His hallucinations are of course part of him and give him insights. Still it's just the same old standard stuff I've seen over and over.

That's my take of course. I'm sure some of you like it and that's cool. Enjoy. We all have different taste.

By the way, if anyone is interested my favorite show from last season has an early season start tonight. Grimm's first show is tonight.

We didn't even know Grimm was starting up, but ended up catching it. Nick's mom is pretty fierce!


Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 2933 comments Mod
I didn't know either and I'm sort of a "rabid-fan". But my daughter watches more Network TV than I do and Emailed me a heads-up. I agree. I hope they can balance it...also I find I don't really trust her. How about you?

I don't not trust her. She seems pretty scary in some ways, very self-controlled. I am keeping my options open about Nick's mom right now.


Mike (the Paladin) (thepaladin) | 2933 comments Mod
Well, me to after what I mentioned. We'll see.
