damages…

…so i know i’m johnny come lately but i couldn’t watch something so phenomenally entertaining without mentioning it here. hats off to another all time television favorite: damages. that cable has some of the most thought provoking writing on television is a no brainer but just when i think it can’t get any better, i get a little gem like “damages.” glenn close, tate donovan, rose byrne and that tasty little morsel, noah bean, served it up weekly on fx. just a sampling of an all-star cast and ted danson couldn’t play his role any nastier. self entitled, over grown frat rat got his come-upance wrapped up pretty with a bow on top but what i love is the second and third helpings of revenge coming up in the next season. i confess, i did start out watching it weekly but with work getting in the way, one or two missed episodes threw me off (you can’t miss a single thread). so, i netflixed the whole series in hi def, settled back in couch potato mode and got my fix on. it was SOOOO worth it. uninterrupted and one episode after another without commercials or constant chatter. bliss! i caught some article on yahoo about how sad people watch more television but i have to say, what a crock of shit! there’s just good stuff happening out there. i could go out and piss my money away in some overpriced bar or on a half baked hollywood flick, or i can invite some peeps over (or not!) and watch some really fun, action packed, compelling, and yes, flat out entertaining t.v.! so let the experts suck on that!
