Television

The new season of Burn Notice began tonight.  I decided to write a little as I watch it.  It is often hard for me to sit still and just watch TV.  I can’t tell you exactly what does it, but often I wander away and back onto the computer.  Maybe the key is that whatever I’m watching has to rival the pull of the game.

I find Jeffery Donovan attractive, which helps keep me watching.  It surprised me a little, because I wouldn’t have thought he would be my type.  He has charisma, and this character is kick-ass.  Very sexy.  He’s also not a twenty-something.  I find it very refreshing to see a sexy 40-year-old.

In fact, the whole cast is rather seasoned.  Bruce Campbell plays his friend.  I love him!  I feel like I have a history with him because I have followed his career, from Evil Dead, to Hercules and Xena, to various other things he’s done.  He’s aged, but haven’t we all.  It’s not a “oh my God, I’d so do him,” but more a “oh, cool, Bruce Campbell!”  To be honest, he was probably what first attracted me to the series.

As I’ve said, few shows keep my attention.  Primeval on BBC America was one of them.  Their first season was awesome.  I sat and watched intently.  Unfortunately, season two proves to be of lesser quality.  I read a blog that critiqued the last episode.  I found myself agreeing with him completely.  Who wrote this drivel?  What a shame to see that happen.  I’ll still watch, but I bet that one night, I’ll wander away from the TV during the show.
