  2010: Third anniversary 2009: 2nd time's a charm 2008: First anniversary 2007: Here we go!

I love watching  TV shows and I already mentioned the long list of the ones I wouldn’t miss. I lately started to watch Person of Interest, a crime drama television series from CBS: an ex-CIA hitman and a scientist team up to prevent crimes before they happen. Honestly, I didn’t like it until the 6th or 7th episode. It looked a lot like Burn Notice but it wasn’t as good. But then the stories got more interesting and Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) and John Reese (Jim Caviezel) make an awesome, unexpected duo that works very well together. Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot (from IMDB) - After a scrape with a few hot-heads on the subway, homeless man and former government agent John Reese is offered a job by the somewhat secretive Mr. Finch. After 9/11, Finch developed a computer program that would sift enormous amounts of information, looking for patterns of behavior or activity that would…⇒ READ MORE

As a big fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm TV show, I am very excited about Season 8. This time Larry David takes on New York City and I can’t wait to watch the new episodes. But if you want to know more about the upcoming season that will premiere this year on HBO, you might be disappointed… The only place to go is on the CYE page on HBO website. In 2007, I posted about the TV show: Curb Your Enthusiasm: Pretty, pretty, pretty good!. I wrote: ‘The tagline for Curb Your Enthusiasm is: ‘Deep inside you know you’re him’, and let’s face it, we all carry part of Larry David with us’. Let’s hope Season 8 will be as good as the previous ones although the waiting seems endless! Below, Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 8 “New York”  -Godzilla like- Teaser:

I really enjoy watching TV shows. Unfortunately, Ugly Betty, 24, Lost and Heroes are no more. Not to mention Bryan Fuller’s whimsical Pushing Daisies! So what is left to watch this Summer? Luckily, several of my favorite shows. Burn Notice is on my top list, I already wrote about the show: Burn Notice Vs Leverage? I’d better get burned!. If I don’t like Leverage that much, Dark Blue is definitely among my favorite shows. But my two favorites are True Blood and Mad Men. Totally different stories and times but each one knows how to entertain. Where do Sookie super powers come from? Will Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce find prosperity eventually? There is also the new season of Entourage; I couldn’t not mention Vincent, his flick, Ari… I am eager to watch Dexter‘s new season (Dexter and The Shield: bad is good) as well as Curb Your Enthusiasm: Pretty, pretty,…⇒ READ MORE

The Seinfeld Reunion. Any big fan of the classic sitcom had dreamt about it since Seinfeld ended. It was 11 years ago. And I have to admit I was and still is a huge fan of Seinfeld. The best sitcom ever (and I watch many TV shows: Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Nip/Tuck, House M.D… Addicted!, The Big Bang Theory: Am I really that kind of Nerd?, Dexter and The Shield: bad is good). Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld managed to give us a big laugh on every single episode, even if I think the sitcom started to be really funny on saison 3. Since then, I watched every episode. I miss so much Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Elaine Benes and Cosmo Kramer… And Newman, and Monk’s Cafe (well, Tom’s Restaurant)! So I was very exited when I read a few months ago the Seinfeld cast would appear in five episodes of HBO…⇒ READ MORE

It has been a long time I didn’t talk about TV shows, last time was in June 2008. Since then I had the pleasure (well it is not always such a pleasure…) to watch new shows and I have had some great surprises. Among them is ‘Burn Notice’, a comedy-drama/action show created by Matt Nix. I wasn’t expecting much from this show, nothing more than being entertained for less than an hour. At first I didn’t like the character of Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan), a disagreeable ex-spy, neither I liked the character of former IRA operative and Westen’s ex-girlfriend Fiona Glenanne (Gabrielle Anwar). She is alluring (I remember her in ‘Scent of a Woman’ in 1992, when she meets in the restaurant with Al Pacino and his ‘babysitter‘) but she was as disagreeable as Michael was. As for the story, it sounded interesting (I like spy shows) but I felt…⇒ READ MORE
