Because isn't that what brought us together in the first place?
Some shows I've tried out recently:
Missing - an ABC show starring Ashley Judd. It's another spy show, but unlike Chuck and Burn Notice it takes itself more seriously. But not super-crazy-sci-fi like Alias. Ashley Judd is a retired spy whose son is kidnapped. She kicks a lot of ass -- seriously *phenomenal* hand to hand scenes -- trying to find him. The other awesomesauce star is SEAN BEAN!! The rest of the cast is nice, except that one female agent I'd like to rip the tongue out of. But isn't there always one whose snark goes beyond the snark line and straight into jerk?
Scandal - another ABC show. ABC, when did you start having watchable shows? First DWTS, OUAT then Revenge, now Missing and Scandal. WAY TO GO!!! You have more shows that I watch than any other network. CW used to hold that card but then I gave up on a lot of those. I digress. Scandal, starring Kerry Washington [a woman of color] is about a group of lawyers who aren't *really* lawyers, more like fixers of bad situations. I actually tuned into this show because the lead was 1) female and 2) black. It was a little OOT in the pilot, but most shows are. It was imminently watchable,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moosesal and I watched it together and agreed. It has a fairly diverse cast, well balanced between male and female, and there's also a Presidential-sex-scandal sub-plot.
I'm going to try out LA Complex on CW next week. It's got Firefly's Kaylee in it.
There's going to be a new show on ABC Family this summer about Ballet called Bun Heads.. And I saw a preview for something on the CW that's a docudrama about competitive ballet called Breaking Pointe. Everybody get their toe-shoes and resin ready for a dance-centric summer. Ballet + SYTYCD!! Dance TV 4 nights a week!
Not new show: Vampire Diaries. ( cut for spoilers )
