couch potato speaks

hey ya.. that's my full time job. Being a couch potato.. a lounge lizard.. a bummer..

But then again, can't really wean me off something I grew up doing.. watching television programmes. Watching is such an understatement... engrossed.. perhaps enmeshed or ingrained! Those are more apt. haha

Anyway, shows worth watching are:
1. Solved (#Okto, every fridays 10pm)
2. The Mentalist (Channel 5, Tuesdays 10pm)
3. Fringe (Channel 5, Monday I forgot wat time....)

Solved has replaced CSI as my favourite crime show. Creepy because its all based on real cases. Bizarre, and warped. Humans are most incomprehensible sometimes. Made me think that humans are born evil. Just saw a case 2 weeks back, the case where the husband killed the wife and hacked off her lower jaw and finger tips in order to destroy forensic evidence. Just today, I saw in newspaper, about a husband (who has yet to be caught and believed to have fled to Canada) who killed his model wife and cut off her teeth and fingertips and dumped her body in a garbage dump.

The Mentalist is cool with the cocky Patrick Jane, who in turn is plagued by the fact that he caused the death of his family in the hands of a serial killer whom he had offended. Sometimes quite obvious what he's trying to do, and what he's doing to his suspect's mind.

Fringe is a joy for all ex-xFiles fans. Science and law enforcement are a such a good formula for TV shows.
