Best Opening Credits: I Was Impaled

AhHAHAHahhaAHAHAaaaa ...

I've only seen one episode, but while I love the logo I'm afraid that of the three impalement stories only one was what I would consider an impalement. Lady with a spruce tree in your neck, yes, you were impaled. Guy who swallowed a fishing lure, okay, you were a dumbass and swallowed the lure. Spruce tree lady didn't swallow the spruce. And guy with a bullet behind his eye, no. You do not belong. I roared at the screen "YOU WERE NOT IMPALED." You can't be "impaled" by a bullet that ended up rattling behind your eye. Wait for the Discovery Series "I Have Something Rattling Behind My Eye."

So, is science just too analytical for you? Do you think, ooo, if it nuclear physics were just more salacious?

Would you like this guy to make everything sound DIRTY? Louis Pasteur! Dirty AND a murderer of little children! Edison! Dirty and a thief! The CIA? DIRTY PERVERTS.

Wonderful show. Great show. Gary screams when it's on. He does the same to Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire, so what does that say?

Lifetime Achievement Award: Iron Chef Japan

Allez Cuisine!

I have no patience for Iron Chef America and the ersatz heir of Chairman Kaga. Give me the original, above. Gary and I have rediscovered this show and its ability to make Gary scream. Scream this out loud and make your voice go up one note for each accentuated word: "LARD made out of the FAT from UNDER the MANE of a HORSE?"  Only now we have the iPad and I am required to research this. (They almost immediately threw in crab brains so I didn't have to report on horse mane fat.)

I have no interest in any of the new shows on the other networks this season. Some Glee spinoff? Some Modern Family spinoff? Yawn.

What about Elementary? Lucy Liu might kick someone in the head!

Tami - Is that the one that's like a Sherolck Holmes take-off? Sounds like Gary might like it.

I watched the first two episodes of Revolution. I admit that I have seen all the Twilight movies and the thing I liked about them was the way the actor played Bella's dad. And he is in Revolution. So I thought I'd see if he is really any good or was it just that he shone brightly in the dark abyss that surrounds Kristen Stewart. I have not made up my mind yet.

[Tami]

Elementary *is* the Sherlock Holmes take-off. It's a crazy modern take on Holmes and Watson. Lucy Liu plays "Dr. Joan Watson". It starts tonight, actually.

[TheQueen]

Wendy - I haven't even heard of Revolution. My family used to collect the Fall Preview TV guides, and here I don't even know the new shows at all.
Tami - Hm. Sounds a little too Kill Bill for me.

[Tami]

I watched about half of it last night. So far, so GREAT. Well, great for me. If you hate shows where they talk really fast, you'll really hate Elementary.

[TheQueen]

Tami - will have to check that out. Gary loves Lucy Lui.
