I could use new episodes of any of my favorite shows, actually. These include, in this order: The Office, Dexter, Entourage, Weeds, and Flight of the Conchords. Plus The L Word, I think, and there are only two upcoming new episodes (the season started in January) due to the Writer's Strike. Bah. I also love The Wire, and have seen the first two seasons, but I watch it with my roommates, and we haven't had much shared downtime in the last month to watch it! So we still have several new (for us) seasons of that to watch.
But meanwhile, I have continued watching shows like Lipstick Jungle, which has improved only a little since the first episode. I still think there is something lacking in the show. And I still don't like Brooke Shields. But if I may compare the show to Cashmere Mafia again, I find that the link between the three main characters in LJ is just not based on something as strong as the link between the characters in CM. In CM, the four women went to college together and have been tight ever since. In LJ, they just happened to become friends... which is all well and good, but it seems to me that the college bond is just a little stronger, and even gives audiences a little more background on the characters.
Luckily, since I got a job, I don't have as much time for TV watching, so I haven't been going through seasons of shows as fast. Which is nice. You know, to live a little in the real world.

you like flight of the conchords? i watched the first episode and thought it was mostly annoying and boring, though some of the scenes with minor characters, like the fan and their manager, were funny.
What a shame! That you didn't like it. Yeah, I do like it, it is hilarious, and I especially enjoy an episode in which they call themselves the "Hip-hop-potamous" and "Rhyme-naucerous" and rap a lot. And the manager is ridic.
Ironically, I quite hate most musicals. And the show is quite a bit like a musical... I'm not sure what it is that makes it okay. Perhaps just the fact that everything about the show is ridiculous, it's not really meant to be taken as seriously as when a couple in a Broadway production breaks out into song in the middle of a date... or something.
Bret:
Sometimes my rhymes are obscene
Described as smutty, pornographic scene that's r18
They're so filthy, I feel guilty
I have to rinse my mouth out with Listerine
Like when I rap about those bitches smothered in margarine
Hahahaha
(gun sound affects)
(spoken)Sorry about that, that was a bit violent
Sorry about that one, you have a go
jemaine:
They call me the hiphop-potamus
cause I got flows that glow like phosphorous
Poppin off the top of this oesophageus
Not because I'm a water dwelling mammal from Africa
Called a hippopotamus I'm not a hippopotamus, I'm a hiphop-potamus
Where did you get the preposterous hypothesis that I was a hippopotamus?
Did Steve tell you?
What's he got to do with it?
Bloody Steve!!
hahaha, okay, those are funny. maybe i'll give it another chance. thanks!
