So did you watch Katherine Heigl's new show last night?

9 years ago

I must say I'm not very excited about the show. I found it lacking, somehow. Lacking what, I haven't tried to identify, but I guess I expected more.

I like Katherine Heigl, but this particular character seemed rather stiff and unappealing to me.

I probably won't seek it out again. For one thing, I find characters' self-destructive behaviors maddening to watch, although I should be used to them by now as they are a recurring theme in a lot of dramas.

How did you like it?

For just the first show I thought it was OK. It's a fast paced show which I expected. I think it will unfold well. These kinds of shows take a few to get a good grip on all the scenarios and character traits. Plus there are always some underlying plots and schemes to uncover which they hinted at there at the end. I have it set up to record the series.

We missed it last nite so will catch it online.
There aren't many shows that instantly grab me on the first show....The Blacklist was an exception :-)

Even How to Get Away with Murder, I wasn't sure on the pilot, but we love it now.

Katherine Heigl to play Stephanie Plum

Angelina bought the rights to 6 of Patricia Cornwell's books a year or so ago...then I read in one of the rag trades that she's actually gonna play Kay Scarpetta...She is sooo not Kay Scarpetta... I can't wait to send hubster to the Library...I went on line and reserved a bunch of Plum books and he'll go pick them up for me since I'm not my usual fast walkin self! I'll reserve my comments for Heigl playing Plum till I read some of the books... I would love to see Grafton's book made into some movies...I love Kinsey and I want to see her boat/apartment come to life! I picture Peter Falk playing her landlord! He plays a good ole man! I agree that Hillary Swank would make a great Kinsey!

Will you watch Katherine Heigl's new TV show?

I must have heard only the good things about her. She's close to her family, and, with her husband, adopted a baby girl from Korea, where her own adopted sister was born. I believe the baby had a heart defect, which was treated after the adoption. I forget the baby's name, but it's unusual because it's a combination of Heigl's mother and sister. She and her husband adopted another baby as well. Plus she is a strong advocate for animals, which I greatly appreciate. Alfre Woodard is also in "State of Affairs;" I like her too. Yes, I'll watch--if I remember. I'm famous for forgetting to watch the beginning, or (more likely) watching the first couple of episodes and then forgetting. ;-)

Did You Watch Survivor Last Night?

I think Russell has been smart in lots of ways. But he has been really stupid to say that everyone is sooooo stupid. I think that alone will work against him in the end. Don't the members of the Jury get to watch all the previous shows and see what everybody said? If Shambo gets voted off and sees how he talked about her and how it was all such a big fat lie, she'll do everything she can to make sure he doesn't end up with the money when it comes down to that. I laughed when he put that idol around his neck at council. Mostly because Monica had already made a real a-hole of herself, like she thought she was in power and wouldn't be booted off. REALLY a stupid move on her part. Jaison and Mick will have to make Russ think he's going to get voted off so he'll actually use that idol. But Russ is smart and he'll figure all that out. If they get everyone to vote for Russ and he uses the idol, then he'll be the deciding vote for one of them at that council and will probably go gunning for the other at the next council. All Russ has to do in preparation for the next council is to act cocky and over-confident and they'll all get so mad, they'll all vote for him, and then he votes out whoever he wants. This is truly the best Survivor series I have ever seen.

lilsophie and others, the first episode is available to stream for free at A&E. Most of their shows require you to sign up with your tv provider info, which I don't have and i suspect they won't show many or maybe any more episodes without it.

We DVR'd it, will watch it soon. I'm easily entertained and I like her, so I'm pretty sure I'll rate it OK. :)

I watched it today. I'll probably give it a few more episodes to see if I like it well enough to add it to my DVR list.

I watched it this morning. I had some trouble following all the action and being able to understand every word uttered. Nevertheless, it is worth checking out for a few more episodes to see if it sustains my interest.

I didn't mind the sex . . . I'd just rather she knew the guy's name. :-)

I guess I don't have much patience with TV shows. I'm the same with books, actually; I give up on them fairly early if they don't grab me. I think it has something to do with getting older and acknowledging the limits of time.

Didn't finish. Scrapped it after watching about half. Took it off of the TiVo schedule for next week. It's almost a signal when they try to grab your attention right off with random sex, Why??? i guess others like to WATCH? I enjoy several shows where they TALK a lot about it but don't find it necessary to be graphic...and I love Big Bag, Mike & Molly and others of the same genre. I sure wish there was some network shows I could watch with my grandkids like we used to do with our own kids.
