Sherlock series 2 made it to PBS finally!

It's under Masterpiece Mystery.

Betty White's Off Their Rockers - think Jackass and Candid Camera performed by old people.


Well, that lasted about 20 minutes, then the lil' pups came in. It's not family friendly.

I still don't understand why CBS needs to make a Sherlock show. Why not do Philip Marlowe instead? He's basically the American Holmes, and much less overused.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

Wow, had to look that up: Lucy Liu as Dr. Watson

I can't imagine this will be anywhere close to the BBC one which totally defines the modern day Sherlock Holmes.

I still think Hugh Laurie defined the modern day Sherlock Holmes for a good half-decade before Cumberbatch did. But alas, I'm still wary of this version.

Curious about the Hugh Laurie ones; are they closer to the book storylines?

I am finally starting to watch Breaking Bad.

Been watching some classics tonight. Bewitched and Mary Tyler Moore in particular.

"Chuckles Bites the Dust" is the perfect sitcom episode.

Man, it's fun seeing Betty White being a sweet old lady instead of the cantankerous one she plays today.

I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to watch my first Star Trek episode. I went with "Journey to Babel", which was good. I don't get why Spock's mom was being so demanding about him doing the blood transfusion with his dad if it would possibly kill him though. Wouldn't you think that she would put her son over her husband?

Watching more Star Trek, I think my problem with the show is that Shatner was simply too old to play Kirk. He was like what, 40 when the show started? And he already has hi middle age belly and loss of agility even then.

It's still entertaining though.

So I'm stopping my NGE rewatch to begin Breaking Bad.

I had to flip a coin to choose between that or Mad Men.

You won't be disappointed.

...speaking of Mad Men though, btw, there's one I really need to get around to sitting down with from the beginning. Can't believe how much I've missed up to this point.

I'm three episodes in so far. It's good, but it really seems like this is Plot Twists: The Series.
