What I’m Watching – Summer 2010 Edition
There is only a week or so left for most of these shows so I better squeeze this post in while I can.
Because I know you care, here is what I’m watching on TV these days.
Mad Men – Now in season 4 and still the best show on TV, as far as I know (but what do I know?).
Louie – I was a fan of Louie CK’s last show (Lucky Louie on HBO) but I prefer this one. It is a warped play on the Seinfeld formula but is possibly more warped than Curb or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which is saying a lot. My only 2 complaints: 1) The first episode was probably my least favorite and a lot of people stopped watching after that one. 2) 22 minutes is way too short. Every episode ends too soon.
True Blood – I won’t say it is good but I do enjoy watching it. I’ve come to accept my guilty viewing pleasure for what it is: Twilight for bad adults instead of good tweens.
Action Sports – Summer is my favorite time of the year for sports thanks to the X-Games and Action Sports. The Dew Tour is a 6(?) month tour across the country with vert and street events for BMX and skateboarding. Action Sports airs the Dew Tour stop each month over 2 days on NBC, making it the only show I watch on network television.
Entourage – Entourage is like today’s version of The Love Boat: we tune in to see who will be the surprise guest stars as much as we do for the comedic soap opera of the regular characters. I recently coined a new (to me) phrase after seeing yet another episode end with a happy resolution after one of the main characters happened to run into some rich guest star who saved the day: douche ex machina.
Boondocks – yes, this ended a couple weeks ago but I have to mention it. It is my favorite cartoon on these days but seriously, why does every good show have to come on Sunday nights?
