I try to avoid spoilers, but there was one that mentioned McKay in the lj cut tag! so I had to click on it! you all understand, right? Right? Shant say anything about it though, never fear.

Unrelated, I had some tv fun today checking out the Fall tv lineup, new shows, returning etc here. Highlights:

* according to the House blurb "Elvis Costello debuts a new version of Christina Aguilera's song 'Beautiful' in episode two." Huh.

* Jason Lee has a tv show! It's called "My name is Earl" and he apparently is learning about karma? or something? Who cares, it's Jason Lee and it's supposed to be pretty good.

* lots of other movie people are making the small screen transition, Geena Davies as a Vice-president who suddenly becomes president. I think. Freddie Prinze Jr as a chef and Chris O'Donnell is in a lawyer show with wacky mental illness as a theme. Oh, how we like to laugh about mental illness!

* a couple of X-files-ish ripoffs, "The Night Stalker", "Threshold", "Invasion"

YOU BETTER NOT. You can tell hannah again though. I'm sure she won't mind.

My lips are sealed! I promise! It's not like the Duet spoiler, that I had to tell someone or my head would explode.

[i-naiad.livejournal.com]

I think I read that spoiler. Was it the one sdraevn posted?

Jason Lee!

Also, is the show with Freddie whatsie as a chef the same one that has Nicholas Brendon in it?

[meelie.livejournal.com]

yes it was! yay! I am not alone in my spoiler knowledge!

JASON LEE!!

Nope, a different show. The shows are all about aliens, crime, doctors, lawyers and chefs. Sadly, not all at once. I'd watch that show.

You are not alone in your weakness for spoilers. :)

How about a show about alien doctors who fight crime in their spare time and only date lawyers and chefs?

[meelie.livejournal.com]

Normally I can walk away! Just say no, etc etc! but it said McKay, and I fell.

Alien doctors who fight crime, yes, dating lawyers and chefs, no. Unless it turns out that the lawyers and chefs are secretly the bad guys who are working against the alien doctors committing crimes, but then they fall in love with the alien doctors even though they shouldn't and then someone turns out to have been a robot all along!

Point me towards the network, I'm ready to pitch!

A bunch of Buffy folks are coming to the small screen, too! Both Nicholas B and Alyson H have sitcoms, and David B's in some dodgy-sounding CSI rip.

[meelie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I hear Doogie Howser is in Alyson's show, so hee. and I think the DB show is called Bones?

[eponymous.livejournal.com]

Hi, smrt!Nick!

There's a review of Bones here (scroll down a bit). It's not particularly positive.

[meelie.livejournal.com]

James Marsters is going to be Brainiac on Smallville? oh, that I have to see!

'Seely'. That's not a name, it's a type of mattress.

[indybrat.livejournal.com]

It is called Bones and the first "un aired" ep is or was available on one of the torrent sites. It's um... not bad? David looks rather yummy. The central character I found a bit annoying at times in some of the things she said and did. but I'll probably watch at least some of the eps unitl I can form an opinion on how much I like it/hate it.

N'aww, your icon is *adorable*.

HIS LITTLE GRIN! Sure, it sucked that the cd kept stopping when we were watching, but getting to watch that bit over and over was not a problem *g*
