Notes from the Underbelly (2007–2008)

Funny

[26 April 2007]

I think this is a hilarious, honest, and funny show. No, it's not exactly highbrow, but c'mon...it's television! This reminds me of the BBC show "Coupling." I was also thinking that I like that these people look pretty "normal." The women aren't emaciated, the guys are cute but not in a cookie-cutter Hollywood way. I also like that they address the common myths, problems, ideas, situations and fears of new parents. I also find a lot of this pretty easy to relate to - I have the friend who is the crazy new mom (Julie) and the friend who is scared but excited about being pregnant (Lauren), and the cynical friend who will never have kids (Cooper). I'm not a laugh-out-loud at the TV kind of person, but I do find myself laughing out loud a lot at this show.

The Dresden Files (2007–2008)

Love this Show!

I really like this show and I hope they pick it up for another season or two! (Hint hint)

I had a hard time getting a hold on Harry's character in the show - is he the gruff guy with a heart of gold? The womanizer? But I think the writing has gotten better even in just a few episodes. I've started reading the books, also, which is interesting. I can see where they've made some decisions to cut and change and I think they've done a great job making the books into a TV show.

I was glad to see Dresden isn't a rip off of some other wizardy types we've seen in the last few years. He's an original character with interesting situations.

And I love Bob.
