Don't Fall for Me, Agents Dharma
More Mile-a-Minute Comments, 60 words or less about the TV of the day...
30 Rock: Physical comedy? Not Tina Fey's thing. 2 choking jokes and a pratfall. Wow, is this show uneven. Alec Baldwin's unrelentingly terrific. Tracy Morgan's operating at about 11. Fey's got some great lines... plus 2 choking jokes and a pratfall. And apparently a network showrunner doesn't make much more than a network page, or they just went for some really stale single woman jokes.
Lost: Sure this show is light on answers, but knowing everything would be like seeing Sipowicz' ass. People complain about how "no one on TV really looks like that," but when you put real people on TV, they look like... that. So let's just enjoy the fact that it's 2004 in Lost-land, which means the Sox will win next year.
The Nine: As in "out of 10?" It's early, but maybe. Given the serial mystery structure, there's some potential for the aforementioned Sipowicz' Ass Syndrome, and it could run into Prison Break Problems, where the show needs to reinvent after the central issue is solved, but so far, this Party of Nine has me hooked.
Top Chef: Padma Lakshmi ousted last season's Katie Lee Joel as hostess. What she lacks in trophy wife cred, she makes up for with... talent. This ep's you-can't-fire-me-I-quit lychee controversy was a bit overblown, but any show that features fire, knives and time pressure is worth a watch. Just not on an empy stomach.

Is it possible for Kate (Evangeline Lilly) to be any more scrumptious? That Hobbit-fuck is one lucky fella.
