I suppose I cannot understand many of the 'reality' television shows (often far from 'reality'), sitcoms, and talk shows, but understand others' tastes. ;)
I actually don't really watch TV.I would not find the time.I rarely watch anything most nights, but, if I do it's usually a documentary, a historical ABC drama, a foreign language film on SBS or the science show Catalyst and The Movie Show, which has serious reviews;many from art house and unusual independent documentary films from overseas.Hypothetically:If I had choose between watching some TV show I'm not really interested in or read another book I have to choose the book everytime.There is so many I've still yet to get through in my spare reading time I just don't have any spare time to watch shows that are either quite dull and not stimulating enough or just repeats.I don't have the spare time to watch TV all night as I'm usually so busy with other things.But there was a few good documentaries and historical shows I've seen.Did anyone see the ABC series doco-drama about women writers(though they featured one male-Robert Louis Stevenson) in the nineteenth century?I loved the one about Mary Shelley and also George Eliot.One week they had this long one about Shelley which was narrated by Professor Robert Winston and featured footage of the real Villa Diodati in Lake Geneva, Switzerland.He was so lucky to be able to travel there in the flesh and I desperately wish to go there myself.They also reinacted the famous dream scene in which the teenage Mary is inspired during one stormy night in the Villa in her bed.There was bright flashes of thunder and lightning in the night sky over Geneva.German ghost stories were read by Lord Byron and Mary's lover Percy Bysshe Shelley.The also were reading Cristabel by S.T Coleridge and talking about galvanism and scientific experiments.Someone was then seen dancing in the rain;gosh this reminds me of myself!;)Claire Claremont was also brought along for the Romantic fun and ended up having a dangerous leason with Lord Byron.They showed a scene in which Victor walks into a darkened attic-like room which is scattered with severed corpses and human remains and animals used for scientific experiments.Then Mary woke with wild eyes from her dark half-dream.Anyway, it was quite a detailed piece which reinacted scenes while also been a documentary on the writer Mary Shelley and fragments of her life.The main focus was on her early years, before P.B Shelley's sudden drowning death, but they also included a quick scene of her as a young girl when famous writers came to the Godwin house and spoke of 'reanimating corpses' and later on her death bed.Did anyone else happen to watch one of these nineteenth century writer doco-dramas this year?Did you also see Mary Shelley:The Birth of Frankenstein?
I would have to say ALIAS!
I watched all of season 1 and 2 in four nights.... haha (confessions of an ALIAS FANATIC!)
Since then, alias has become part of me. I feel like I KNOW the characters... can anyone relate? or am I just crazy?
Oct 26th the 4th season is released. This is the most important date of the month! (I live in Belgium so I can't watch it on tv)
I'm asking again- what is the 4400 show??? Could someone please tell me :D
I only watched the first few episode but here goes: I can't remeber if there was an actual spaceship or just lights and a disturbance but in a wooded area there was a commotion and 4400 people who were abducted reappeared all at once. There were people from different time periods, different races, different everything. Some of them or all had "special" powers, then it got kinda boring to me and I stopped watching.Quote:

Thanks for the link.... can't open it though (???) :)
