I watched Bones and House last night. I think Bones has always been gross (remember the person eaten by dogs in first season?) and I love it. House was also good, but did anyone else think he was a little soft last night? The old House would have never accepted the old guy’s excuse about going to every class but not getting a diploma.

Cavemen was better than I thought it’s be. That’s not really saying much but still…

Their scientific accuracy wasn’t really what I wanted but it worked for the jokes. ((They are going by evolutionary theories(I’m a creationist but I’m correcting from the PoV of an evolutionist)))
First when Joel(Bill English) is talking to Ray(Nick Swardson who was delightfully creepy as usual) he mentions something about cavemen dating sapiens. The scientific name for modern man is Homo sapiens sapiens and for a “caveman” Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. They are both sapiens.

Okay and later on Nick(Nick Kroll) is talking to Joel and mentions something about keeping you you-know-what in your Genus(It rhymes. They use stuff like that alot) Even if they’re calling them Homo Erectus(an earlier form of man), or Homo neanderthalensis(without the sapien) they are all part of the genus “homo”

And there you go.

Just caught up on Tuesday night!

I am new to Bones but am liking it. Not as much as House though. I could watch House and Wilson all day. Throw in a little Cuddy and it’s just perfect. Did they make the new intern (the girl from the OC) dye her hair brown so as not to clash/confuse us with Cameron who’s now blonde?

I’m enjoying Tuesdays but Wednesdays are just packed, aren’t they?

I watched Reaper. It was so much fun! I love the show, but for some reason I cannot remember any of the character’s names. Except for the Devil. haha.
So, here is my super lame (nameless) commentary: I love how oblivious the main dude must be to the fact that that chick likes him. She tried (and failed) and tried again to switch her schedule around just so they would be working together.
I also really love the best friend’s ex-girlfriend (who works for the DA). She cracks me up! (I was laughing so hard at the pencil joke, my husband got offended).
I very much like how the show has hints of romance, but that is by no means the main focus of the show. I like the puzzle aspect of trying to figure out who the bad guy is and how to find them. It’s a great show. It is my ONLY appointment TV for Tuesdays.

Dancing with the Stars was so boring last night. Why does there have to be an hour Result Show? Oh well, model Albert left and that was fine with me, his dancing was boring. Poor Cheryl though, her time with partner Wayne Newton will be coming to an end soon.

I watched Bones, House, and SVU. I really loved Bones and House last night. I don’t mind the gross factor on Bones since it has been there in small doses from the beginning. I *loved* drunk Booth! I am enjoying House a lot more this season than last…especially how much he is being tortured by his oncologist buddy.

I tried to watch “Carpoolers” but I couldn’t take the lame jokes. Maybe it will appeal more to guys. SVU was awesoe and Kevin Tighe was so creepy. I liked him much better on “Emergency”. Didn’t watch Cavemen because I was watching “Singing Bee” and then the Biggest Loser.

I watched Reaper again this week and liked it. I’m definitely sticking with this one…probably ’til the bitter end when The CW does something stupid and cancels it next week.

The fiance (sorta) watched Cavemen. He said that while the jokes weren’t awful, the show was just sort of blah. Like they weren’t even trying to be funny a lot of the time.

Go Helio!

Reaper rocked. Hands down best new show of the season. Solid writing, great acting and timing and a pretty original concept, even for the CW. It’s like Veronica Mars snark, with Buffy story (and gore), with Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz buddy film thrown in for good measure. Completely entertaining.

Note to CW: Don’t f@*# this up.

I watched Bones and Reaper. Still loving Bones and yeah Kilynn, they are trying to be gross. But they more than make up for it with a drunk Booth! As for Reaper, I didn’t like it as much as last week. Kind of made me wish I had watched House!

I watched Cavemen simply for the trainwreck likelihood, and it was not great. But, I also think that 2 1/2 Men is awful too so clearly I am not the typical sitcom viewer. So I can’t really predict what will happen.

Carpoolers was better, but still very contrived and silly. The way that they kept saying “Let’s carpool!” absolutely annoyed the crap out of me. It might get better, and could have potential if they can tone down the cheese factor. It’s trying to be edgy but sadly just isn’t.

Is no one else watching Reaper? It’s the only thing I’m watching on Tuesday nights and it’s fantastic!

I’m boycotting all the new sitcoms this year, because as far as I’m concerned, aside from The Office and HIMYM, pretty much all the comedies on network tv are crap. I watched Bones, House, and Law & Order: SVU last night. It is like the perfect line-up.

Bones was great, but is anyone else feeling like they are trying to out-gross all of the other procedurals out there? Like, at the beginning when they were at the crime scene and Bones was just waving a charred finger around all cavalier. My sister and I were pretty grossed out by that one, and I don’t remember the show being that graphic last year. However, I am LOVING David Boreanaz even more than usual, which I didn’t know was possible.

I’m having a hard time keeping all the new people straight on House. Especially the girls because they all look strangely alike. It’s very confusing.

I didn’t get to watch SVU last week because my stupid brother cancelled it on the DVR, and I hadn’t realized how much I MISSED this show. It was a good one last night; I did not see that Law & Order twist coming. Jury’s still out on Adam Beach, though.

I’ll say it: I loved Cavemen.

I’m not delusional enough to think it’s the next Office. Or that it will get a second season. But I thought it was pretty enjoyable. I didn’t laugh out loud, but a lot of the parts were pretty amusing. But maybe I just felt forced to laugh because I really wanted this show to do good after all the negative press.

I love so say we all. It’s a good way to start the day. I think most Tuesday night TV is boring. I watched Cavemen and liked it more than i thought i would but i still really, really hated it. How did this show make it on the air? Carpoolers was marginally better but I didn’t like it either. Maybe they’re both funny but I am so used to 30 Rock that I just didn’t get them.

House was awesome again last night. I love the bitchy doctor who is a tattle tale.

How are you not watching Dancing with the Stars.
