*Good Wife - Off to an awesomely crazy start, this season's shaping up to be a good one.
*Simpsons - Started, but I'm too busy tapping out to notice much. The Homeland spoof was totally lost on me, and Treehouse of Horrors is always my least favorite one.
*Bob's Burgers - Also back, but only one gloriously adventurous episode so far (who doesn't love a good jab at the girl scouts?).
*Tudors (Season 2) - Forgot about this one for a while, but decided to finish out the season along with a sweater I was knitting.
*Skins (Season 7) - Well..it kind of peetered out after the first excitement to see the old friends again. I guess that's the thing about reunion shows.
*The Staircase - I kept reading online reviews raving about this, and maybe it's just dated, but I couldn't see what was so spectacular. Maybe I'll finish it out, but I am not sure I will bother.
*Project Runway - Fairly predictable result, but a fun ride nonetheless...
*Colbert Report - Oh, how could you leave us during the shutdown? I needed some laughs! I did really enjoy the PBS news anchor interview. What a funny juxtaposition.
*Frontline - As always, amazing investigations. Football and superbugs, definitely not high on my interest list, still fascinated me.
*The Waiting Room - An insightful documentary covering a day in a hospital waiting room, showing how gaps in our safety net and health insurance are handled by the compassionate caregivers of a general hospital.
*The Graduates - A bit of hopeful inspirational stories following a few latinas in their journey graduating from high school against the odds.
*Boardwalk Empire - Seems gratuitous this season, like a horror movie. A few good characters are left, and I want to give it time to warm up to the new ones, but part of me feels like giving up on it.
*Hello, Ladies - Should be "goodnight, ladies" because I fell asleep.
The Other Typist turned out a disappointment - trying to ride the wave of Mad Men-obsession with the Prohibition era, but really just not a very captivating story. Arcadia I picked up on a whim in NYC after passing it by several times before and absolutely loved it. The plot didn't appeal to me, but it's so well written and really captures something magical about youth. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea was a quick 33 1/3 I picked up after going to see Neutral Milk Hotel here in Baltimore and wondering more about the story behind the beloved record. I am not enough of a music nerd to care a whole lot about that sort of thing, but enjoyed knowing more of the mystery around the album.
