What are you watching in April?

Time for a new thread! Espy has been watching Firefly again -- I haven't had time to sit down and watch it with him, but the bits and pieces I've caught have made me want to watch it again, so I may be watching that some time soon. What about you?

I'm going to a play tonight! I have no idea if it's going to be any good, but I love live theater so it should be a fun time! :)

Nothing better than live theater in Chicago, elbakerone. Have fun!

Lots of Big Bang Theory. I want Sheldon's t-shirts.

MsD wants a pet sheldon.

#4 Snerk! *whispers* MsD already has a pet Sheldon.

excuse me, i must go check the ice cube trays.

#5: ROFL!

MsD, does MrA sing the Soft Kitty song to you when you're sick? :o)

MrA, some of the shirts are available at ThinkGeek.com.

No, but he wants me to sing it to him. I don't do it right of course :(

>1 foggidawn: Foggi - A friend of my daughter joined us for dinner last night. She is catching up on the Stargate series but had never heard of Firefly before so, of course, we put the pilot, Serenity, on for her. Instant new addiction!

Breaking Bad, Treme and baseball. Lots & lots of baseball. Yay!

Breaking Bad, Nurse Jackie, United States of Tara, they're all enough to give TV a good name

#4 The Big Bang Theory is popular at my house. Sheldon reminds us of my dad, a lot. My dad knew the element song Sheldon sang a couple weeks ago.

Yesterday my mom received the complete series of Due South. So we were watching a lot of episodes. It's actually really funny.

I went to see Shutter Island with husband. So awesome!! I'll be tempted to buy that one when it comes out.

I rented Time Traveler's Wife at RedBox this week and I think I'm biased, having read the book. I didn't think the movie was awful like I had heard. Rachel McAdams was adorable.

Oh! And rewatching Sherlock Holmes. I'm a little embarrassed to admit how many times. Husband got it for me the day it came out to buy. :)

#14 lefty:
I would probably rewatch it a few times, too. Some parts were so quick! As someone who has never read any Sherlock Holmes books, I think I could rewatch the movie and notice something new each time for a bit.

I did something that I thought was slightly stupid this weekend by watching "Two Weeks Notice" while waiting to learn if I had...two weeks notice. (I knew something was fishy by Saturday.) It was one of those 'four film favorites' at Target so I watched "Music and Lyrics" after that. I couldn't get the song the main characters wrote together out of my head after that. I happily think it may finally be gone.

Is series 4 of Big Love showing in the USA yet? We've just bought the first three series due to a shameful addiction, and are facing a looming drought of polygamous soap opera.

I haven't watched tv in a few years. I wanted to watch Spartacus: Blood and Sand but found out it was on a pay channel. Sigh.

if you don't watch it, it could sneak up behind you and surreptitiously suck out your brain cells.

i'm just sayin'.

MrA - The latest series of Big Love just recently ended (it could have been the fourth). Always with a shocking ending, of course.

I never watched any of the reality/competition shows until we had the writers' strike a few years ago. They had marathons of America's Next Top Model to offer instead of new programming. That led me to a few other competitions. I wonder if they realize how they cut their own throats by forcing their viewers to find something else to watch. I hardly watch any network shows any more as a consequence.

I just realized I should have a new episode recorded from last night!

Hubby is working his way through ALL of Star Trek. I've learned all there is to know about Kirk & Jean Luc without the movies, and now we're roughly half a season into Deep Space Nine.

Shows I'm voluntarily watching include Big Bang Theory (Sheldon), Vampire Diaries (Damon), Gossip Girl (Chuck/Bass) and Castle. Ian Somerhalder keeps me addicted to the vampire show. It's no Buffy, but I can't resist a bad boy vamp.

@15: I feel for you about Two Weeks Notice. My last retail job hinted I was fired by txt message then refused to talk to me in person or on a phone call.

I love Big Bang Theory, but it's on when I'm in class :'(
Every once and a while I'll watch an ep online

Right now, I'm working my way through the 1st season of Supernatural. The new eps are getting way tense and wonderfully conflicted. But I thought I'd go back to the beginning when there was just monster killing action without the *insert big doom feeling drama bit, in a non-spoiler way* hanging over their heads

The Masters golf tournament. I want Phil Mikelson to win, but it would be great if Freddy Couples won, too.

Treme starts tonight! And Breaking Bad and The Pacific are on, too. And Sunday Night Baseball. Sundays are becoming packed with TV.

Since the Sox played an afternoon game yesterday, we watched Bull Durham last night. Hands down one of the best baseball movies!

Glee is back!

I loved the rendition of Vogue, too!

That was hilarious! Jane Lynch/Sue Sylvester is something else. Can't wait for the Madonna episode next week.

#20 AmyLynn:
How awful! We need to hear these kind of things more directly.

We got Sherlock Holmes! My family saw it in theaters, but I still can't wait to rewatch it.

K, :D I'm glad to hear you love Sherlock Holmes too! I almost watched it again tonight but chose X-Men instead mostly because I thought if husband saw I had it on again he would scoff. ;)

The America's Best Dance Crew special that aired last night was fantastic!!! If you have never seen this genre of dance, now is your chance to see the best of the best. They brought back the winners of the five seasons for a special show where each crew danced for another young person involved with a special project. Randy Jackson, the producer of the show, donated $10,000 to each of them for their projects which included an HIV/AIDS testing and awareness program and a teen that started a cheerleading program that paired cheerleaders with disabled girls in their routines.

I am sure that MTV will air this show many times in the near future. I highly recommend that you DVR the show so you can fast forward through Mario Lopez's parts.

I started watching this show out of curiosity when it started and have continued to be amazed by the hard work and creativity shown by these young people. This type of dancing has become popular enough that the Jabberwokeez (sp?) have been booked at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Project Runway was wack last night. They're all smokin crack on that show since it moved to Lifetime.

"Man in The Gray Flannel Suit"

I still like Project Runway. I also liked the alternative show that remained on Bravo, but I don't know if it'll be back. I can't figure out why designers feel they need to make black, black and more black clothes.

#29 lefty:
What? Maybe after X-Men. I'm only halfway through watching it right now and already want to play it over again! :) I know, why am I online, huh? ;) I had to help a friend by looking up bus schedules.

Started BBC's Our Mutual Friend, and found it slow at the beginning, but now I'm enjoying it very much.

Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide to be followed by the season premiere. Excited doesn't begin to describe my emotional state. It's starting, time to go!

Thanks, biblioholic29. It's been years since I saw Dr Who. Now after the Ultimate Guide I feel I'm up to watching this season.

I'm about to watch last night's episode of Doctor Who on online catch up. (I think we're on episode three of the new season now.) When I know I'm working on a Sunday, I save Saturday night programmes to watch during quite times at work. Otherwise its a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong day.

It's got to be at least 25 years since i last saw Dr Who :-S

Well, if it makes you feel any better, he probably doesn't see it as being 25 years since he saw you. ;)

In other doctor news, today is David Tennant's birthday!

My daughter and I watched the Jennifer Ehle/Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice and got so caught up we watched it all the way through - 5 hours!

#37: Glad to be of assistance! Should you be so inclined the DVD's for the last 4 seasons are all available, but with a new production team and cast, you should be pretty well on top of things.

#41 jnwelch, I call that the "real" Pride and Prejudice. Anyone who can resist Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy is a stronger woman than I.

Yes, it's easily the best. My daughter loved finally being able to see the scene where he dives in the pond. She had seen "Lost in Austen" where Jemima Rooper asked Darcy to do that, which cracked her up.

I'm a fan of Jennifer Ehle's sparkle, personally. :-)

*thinks about #43*

I conclude that i am a stronger woman that Citizenjoyce. Q.E.D. Ipso facto. E pluribus unum. I rest my case.

btw, i don't recall any pond-diving in the book. What up with that? Did they add that just to get Colin Firth in a wet shirt?

My sister loaned me Glee season 1. I'm going to give it a shot while I work on dresses today. Megan insists that she doesn't like High School Musical and that Glee isn't like the movie. We'll see.

#45: I refuse to watch that, but I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is yes.

#44: I couldn't stop laughing during that scene in "Lost in Austen" It was HYSTERICAL. Loved it!

What am I watching? Glee and Doctor Who. Both wonderful, both make me a very happy lady.

Ah, MrAndrew, I praise the strength of your womanhood. Alas, I am weak.

45: I think we have discussed this before, but there are many movies where Colin Firth ends up in a wet shirt and he always looks good!

hmmmm i bet you tube has a compilation of all those scenes...*switches over to youtube to search "Colin Firth wet shirts"*

I just watched Shrek -- love that movie. Oddly, I own Shrek 2, but not the first movie. So, I checked it out from the library.

As soon as I get off the computer I'm going to watch You Don't Know Jack, the documentary about Jack Kevorkian on HBO. I hope it will be as good as the one about Temple Grandin.

My family and I were supposed to go see "Les Miserables" last night but couldn't. We're going to try to go see it on Friday instead. It's playing at our city's high school. Instead last night we watched part of season one of "Friends."

I am enjoying the SyFy series, Merlin. The characters are engaging, the stories interesting, but things are very different from the usual stories. For instance, Merlin is the same age as Arthur and keeps his magic secret, Gwenevere is Morgana's servant, and Morgana is Uther's ward.

When I got home yesterday only 30mins of Dr. Who had recorded!! >:O Good thing it's on again tonight!

#55: It's actually a BBC series. :)

#56: The horror! It's definitely a good thing they play it more than once, that was a great episode. (I have a feeling I'm going to be saying that a lot the next 13 weeks.)

Last night we watched a PBS Masterpiece Theater production of Hamlet with David Tennant and Patrick Stewart as Claudius. It was probably the closest I came to really appreciating the play. (OK, I admit it, I usually zone out every time I've tried to watch Hamlet. I did not zone out this time.)

I can't remember if it was recommended here or on Facebook, but I am loving The Big Bang Theory! I just finished disk one of season one.

Biblio - I'm sure it was originally a BBC production and for that I am grateful. They are now showing it on Syfy. We get all the best shows (like Dr. Who) after they are shown in G.B.

Kerian, I hope you get to the production of Les Miserables. I'll bet even though it's a high school group putting it on it'll be great. Not that Friends isn't a fine program, but the singing just doesn't compare.

If y'all aren't watching Breaking Bad you're missing the best show on tv. Really.

I'm up to episode 18 of season 2 of Lost; our viewing has been cut back since Rachel started working, but I've made massive progress on my HP re-read in the time we would have been watching TV :) We also watched Taking Chance the other night; it was really touching without being saccharine.

littlegeek, I just watched this week's Breaking Bad. People shouldn't watch this just before going to bed. My adrenalin is still racing. One of the best programs on TV this year and maybe any year.

Oh, I just found out One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is going to be on TCM May 18.

Compski, I love Big Bang Theory too. I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)

While doing prom dresses lately, I watched Star Wars episodes 4-6. It had been a long time since I watched those! I'm thinking I will give episodes 1 and 2 another chance. I loved 3, but I have vague memories of disliking 1 and 2. Thankfully the library has them!

The Evil Emperor would look awesome in a sparkly black evening gown with push-up bra, lefty. Do something daring for Chewbacca. You know, to bring out his wild side.
