[HPFGU-OTChatter] Dead Like Me - oh, the language!!

[Kathryn]

 Lee :-)
 I want:
Characters I can like and to whom I can relate;
Plots which are engaging and, even if they tackle tough issues, do it
tastefully;
Language which is expressive and free of explitives, etc.
 
Call me old-fashioned, but that's what I like.
So, guess I just won't be watching much TV for some time. <Grin>

I know the feeling - do you remember when you used to be able to get in in
the evening and veg out in front of the tv if you felt like it? Rather than
knowing that there is *one* good show on all night, if you're lucky. I'm
pretty much down to the CSIs, NCIS and Without a Trace (and the latest
season of WaT isn't as good as the earlier ones in my opinion, and don't
even start me on the way the CSI writers seem to have decided they're
working on a soap opera not a crime drama) and of those the only one I would
say consistently lives up to those criteria (especially the first two) is
NCIS, and *maybe* CSI NY, being in the UK I haven't seen enough of that to
judge yet. 

And what happens if by chance something good does turn up - they cancel it!
Sorry - bit of frustration there since I'm indulging in some reruns and
rediscovering Magnificent Seven and wondering if Michal Biehn has some kind
of curse on him, because what was my other recent favourite? Hawaii. *sigh*

And on the off chance the writers are reading this I'll overlook the dip in
quality in WaT if you let Martin take his shirt off more often and I'll
refrain from yelling at the TV every time the CSI guys contemplate sleeping
with their colleagues of Warrick and Nick could strip off more often too ...
 (Just because I have certain criteria that I think you should meet, doesn't
mean I can't be bribed <g>)

What is every one else round here watching? Or have you all given up in
disgust.
