Flist! Take note of this:

10pm tonight on ABC (and A-channel for those Canadians who get it - I think).

Castle is premiering. This is a show I did not know existed until last Thursday, but will be watching (unless it sucks like Dollhouse sucks, but I doubt it).

Why, you may ask?

Nathan Fillion.

Do I really need to say more? If you feel I do, go and Google it yourself. :)

Only two episodes for me for two reasons. First, as I mentioned above, hated giving up The Journal. Second, I think the whole "hunting a human" bit is overdone. And yeah, the whole prostitution / we're just sexy babes angle wasn't filling my little heart with glee either.

Someone on my flist did a whole post on why not to watch Dollhouse (I think it was miss_porcupine) and I found that every point she made was something I agreed with.

My main problems are summed up in 2 points:
-the dubious consensual prostitution that encompasses the entire premise of the show
-the humiliation aspect, ie. how everyone but Echo is 'in on the joke'

They're 2 of my biggest turn-offs, in any kind of storytelling, and I was changing the channel or muting the sound more than I was watching the show. Instead, I'll watch Flashpoint and support Canadian made shows. :)

Flist -> Friends list?

I try to limit my tv watching. Until you pointed out Castle, I had it down to sometimes watching Criminal Minds on Wednesday and watching The Journal, Numb3rs, and sometimes Charlie Rose on Friday. Looks like I have a new Monday show though.

Yes. As much as I've tried to prevent it, LJ slang has worked itself into my online vocabulary.

My tv watching has dropped considerably, especially as I start dropping shows I lose interest in. Also, while I tend to watch a lot of tv shows, I don't watch a lot of tv - if that makes much sense. I'll save up my shows throughout the week, and kill a Saturday playing catch up.
