TV musings

Good lord, I love the show HUFF. Hank Azaria, Oliver Platt, and Blythe Danner, so damn good. The only thing I don't like is the wife, who I strongly get the feeling is written to be a sympathetic character, and not a selfish, stubborn, miserable, humorless bitch. Seriously, this is the kind of woman I'm afraid of, someone who doesn't have a shred of a sense of irony. But yeah, her aside, I frickin' love this show so much. Oliver Platt is an ugly, ugly joy to watch.
Also, I seriously love SLINGS & ARROWS. But of course, why wouldn't I love a Canadian show about a misfit band of Shakesperian actors (is there any other kind?)? I cannot wait for the DVDs.
This is about the only TV I manage to watch. Somehow I miss out on LOST, SOPRANOS, MY NAME IS EARL, both versions of THE OFFICE, SCRUBS, and BOSTON LEGAL, and yet I somehow do everything I can to watch things like HUFF, SLINGS & ARROWS, and JUSTICE LEAGUE, shows that it seems, at best, only two of my friends also watch.
Ooh, I need to get OZ season five too. Just to see how the Itchy and Scratchy relationship between Beecher and Schillinger turns out, heh heh.
