What are you watching on TV?

My Life in Brown (and White) said to me the other day that I should ask a question here that is easy to answer.  At first I thought well I don't ask easy questions.  She knows this all too well.  A few years ago she said to me why can't you ever ask me a question like how is the weather?  Luckily tonight I was thinking I wonder what other people thought of the latest Project Runway episode?  And now I'm wondering what are you watching on TV?  Any shows that you love and want to recommend?

I recently cancelled my cable, got rid of my DVR (blasphemy!), packed away my television, and put that money towards a gym membership.  How many times have I gone?  We'll talk about that in another post.  Currently I'm watching Project Runway, Fringe, Glee, and 1 or 2 other shows I would rather not put in writing here.  :)

Project Runway:  I loved this episode because I think the use of unconventional materials like newspaper forces the designers to really show if they have talent.  Wasn't Christopher robbed in the latest episode?  While Irina's coat was nice/gorgeous/insert appropriate adjective here Tommy Hilfiger said that he didn't like the sloppy construction in the back where the tap showed and it was uneven.  I thought Christopher's dress was beautiful and a "showstopper".  If Tim Gunn was "incredulous" about the lie that Johnny told why didn't he have a talk with him?  Did you know there are auctions to purchase the designs each week?  From the previous episodes I would like to know who chose Mitchell to be on this show?!  Somewhere out there is a disgruntled designer who got was the last one cut to make it on to the show.  20 bucks says they were better than Mitchell.

Fringe:  Season 2 just started I think...at least on Hulu.  I found this show on Hulu and was originally drawn in by Pacey err....I mean Josh Jackson.  But in the first season his supporting role of Peter Bishop was disappointing.  He seemed to be there just to crack a few jokes.  I loved Olivia Dunham and Walter Bishop.  They made the first season; however, despite them I feel like this show is missing something.  It could be stronger.  I don't know what it is, but it always wrapped up too neatly in the first season.  And then there was always one loose end which was predictably tied to the ZFT storyline.  I read some interviews last night given by JJ Abrams who said that after Lost he wanted to create an easier-to-follow show where if a viewer misses one episode here or there she can still follow the storyline.  Apparently the flashes right before the commercial breaks of particular images are clues.  The pilot cost $10 million to make!

Peter's character in the first episode of the second season seemed more involved, but I can't believe after that whole episode no one checked Charlie's mouth.  That should have been written differently.  These people are smart enough that Walter, Olivia, Astrid, Peter...someone would have wondered is Charlie really Charlie or did someone stick a cord into his mouth and take over his human form?  Plus why are they bringing on a new female agent now?  And what is the deal with Massive Dynamic's Nina Sharp kissing Olivia's boss Phillip?  Is Phillip on the Massive Dynamic payroll as well?  Have you noticed Massive Dynamic has a website and that some of the letters on the Fox show's page are replaced with numbers? 

Glee:  I love it!  I absolutely adore Will, find Rachel annoying and endearing, have a tiny crush on footballer playing Finn (despite his errr early release problem) and like bitchy/creepy cheerleading coach Sue's side comments.  Most of all though I love the singing and Will and Emma's burgeoning romance....despite his stupid wife and Emma's fear of germs.  And what exactly is Principal Figgins' (played by Pakistani actor Iqbal Theba) background?  Is he supposed to be of English descent?  (According to Wikipedia Figgins is an English surname.  And no I do not ever cite Wikipedia in term papers as a source!)  This show makes me smile every time I watch it.
