The Kitchen Table

Is anyone watching The Following?

13 years ago

There hasn't been much tv on lately and some of the good ones are coming back, some of the really goods ones aren't. We watched the premier of The Following with Kevin Bacon. Riveting and certainly worth watching. What did you think if you watched it?

I started to watch it because I like Kevin Bacon, but it was too gory and I ended up switching channels.

I thought it was good, very scary when you think about it.

Design Star--Anyone watching?
Q

It's the only one I've seen either. I guess the topic of design just grabbed me. I think Dave won the final design challenge hands down but I like Alice as a person much better. Her design just didn't work for me on this project. As the winner must combine both design talent and TV personality, I'd vote for them co-hosting, if that option were offered. They both seem locked into a specific design philosophy, with their projects being quite identifiable. One of the things that has come out of this show for me is asking myself if I have locked myself in a box design-wise, and if so, if that is necessarily a bad thing. Worked for Frederick Law Olmsted....

I'm not normally interested until the last day and it's between 2 players. Then I pick a favourite, whether it's Tiger or not. I hate to admit it, but there were times when he played when I wished he would lose because he had a nasty attitude (over his own faults usually). I saw him slam his club down a few times and my whole perception changed.

Anyone watch Real Housewives of New York City?
Q

I have, much to my complete embarrassment, watched OC and NY. I think I like NY much better - OC has become a train wreck and I have to wonder if a lot of "acting" is now being done. I mean, who could be that completely AWFUL. Or, in Vicki's case, completely loud, crude and desperate for the worst kind attention? In Tamara's case, so completely cruel and really - she is not "the hot one" - the fact that she demands to be makes her a cruel and a rather pathetic aging woman who doesn't know when her arc of youth is well behind her. And, OMG, the kids of these people. I know some people from that area and everyone there doesn't spring from the orange tree as that grasping group of women, I promise you *LOL* NY women seem to be much more 'real' even if they, too, are a bunch of oddballs. But - who would watch if they didn't put on a show for the viewers? And, these women are willing to be on TV for the world to see, so they aren't going to be normal or average. Which, of course, is why we all watch. At least most of the "chest apparel" seems to be "nature provided" on this one - except for maybe Bethanny's - her clevage does seem to be a little false, but she is a really gorgeous girl who might be sporting a hard working push up bra - but if it's false, she did it right. Not too much for her frame. The "soul mate" couple, Alex and Simon .... are they for real? They make me feel icky after I've seen them in an episode. And yes, please spare the speedo, please. Double ick. Alex needs some color in her hair or face, it's all one color to me. This is not an attractive couple in any sense of the word. Jill seems to be the most "real" of the bunch to me, Bethanny the kindest. The Countess needs to get a life. A real one. I agree with Fran - how is the financial train wreck we are in as a nation going to play with these two shows? The excess of both shows will have to be addressed, the days of conspicious consumption are now behind us, eventually nobody will want to see that stuff, even on tv. How they cope will make it even better television, I believe.

Anyone watching The Dome?
Q

Tally - Wasn't Broadchurch intriguing? It drew me in from the very first moments and my interest never lagged. Watching the Mother running along the road toward the beach was such a simple yet dramatic moment. It was so well done and the acting superb. I watched 3 or 4 episodes of Dome. It started out so well but then started losing steam and I gave up.

I really liked it. It has the makings of being spell binding, terrifying and suspenseful.

What a sick freakin' puppy that guy is huh?

I stopped watching after 13 minutes.
Too much graphic gore. The ice-pick
in the forehead did it for me.

I hate gore & horror! There is enough of it in the world already without having to see it.

I liked it. Much better than some of the other continuing stories like Deception or Revenge or Revolution. I will watch it again. I liked Last Resort but knew it wasn't going to last so I stopped watching it.

I started to watch but the blood and gore overcame my liking for Kevin Bacon. I can always just play more Solitaire.

Would someone please remind me when it is on?... I saw the preview and wanted to watch it. I usually love everything Kevin Bacon is in. I'm watching The River Wild right now, with him in it. He does play those weird guy parts great....

I watched it but will not watch again. It was too bloody and violent for me.

It has the potential to be really good. I'm just afraid that the premise of this guy having a cult following of thousands is too far fetched. If he were living in the world, it might fly; but, a dealth-row inmate - hours from death. I don't think it's going to be successful.

I had to same feeling with Last Resort. The first episode was gripping. By the second episode I was getting angry. The premise of our military setting the stage for an imaginary war and hanging the sailors out to dry was beyond this navy wife. Turned it off and never looked back.

I'm glad others didn't buy into it either. Our military needs moral support, not to be taken for fools.

I missed (ignored) the pilot but it just came on after Bones and I remembered reading this so I watched for a while. And kept watching. By the end, when she brought him the book, it began to look Silence of the Lambs-ish.

Now I have to go watch the pilot to be up to speed for next week. It has possibilities--more than I can say for most of the recent programming.

I didn't want to see it because of the gore, but we watched it anyway. Liked the plot; reminded me of Charles Manson and Silence of the Lambs. Will keep watching.

eccentric - after watching the pilot, I hugged my German Shepherd dog tight.
