Deep in the heart of the emerald seas...
AquaDad is smiling. He has regained some control of the television from his AquaWife. For good reason, AquaDad has seen television shows that have thrilled, entertained, and left him dangling from a cliff breathless and wanting more.
AquaDad's current fave shows:
Lost -- AD has been following Lost since the beginning. Wonderful and diverse characters, phenomenal acting, suspense, thrills, and mystery abounds in the show that is currently in it's third season. Good stuff. But can they maintain the thrills for two more seasons? Probably.
Heroes -- To be sure, AD was certainly not going to watch the show, but AquaWife suggested they watch it together because her girlfriend said it was really good. AD ignored the usual danger signs of a girlfriend-suggested show to watch with the AquaWife and it paid off! Heroes is a wonderfully entertaining show with thrills and mysteries that are being slowly played out episode to episode. AquaDad remembers hearing about it at the Comic Con in San Diego, but figured it would be some cheesy TV super hero show -- it is far from cheesy! It is a joy, and it is dark and dangerous. Good stuff, Maynard.
The Nine -- Hmm, what could possibly be interesting that they could spread over a season about a bank robbery gone bad? Well, AD is anxious to find out. Thus far, good acting, and mystery are keeping AquaDad's attention (AD certainly has a theme going here with serialized mysteries). Will the unfolding mysteries be enough to keep AquaDad watching instead of blogging? Stay tuned.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip -- AquaDad has been bowled over by each episode thus far. A backstage ticket to behind the scenes with an SNL type show. Fascinating. Witty. Serious drama without being life threatening. Mathew Perry is fantastic -- who'd a thought this is the same guy from that Friends show? The entire cast is really exciting to watch. Amanda Peet, Bradley Whitford or is it Whitley Bradford, Steven Weber, Timothy Busfield, the lady who plays Harriet, etc. (AquaDad is not feeling bothered by not thoroughly researching the actors names prior to writing the blog). AquaDad ponders: How in the heck does Aaron Sorkin write ALL THE SHOWS???? AquaDad is impressed, to put it lightly.
Every day, AquaDad gets on his soggy knees and thanks the Lords of Technology for creating the DVR (TIVO). Otherwise, AquaDad would not be able to catch these wondrous storytelling machines.
AquaDad, for once, is hooked!
(AquaDad giggles slightly upon using a fishing related term that describes his current addiction to TV.)
