I HEART Horatio Caine !

Moving right along, with my favorite cop shows. I think these are sometimes the most enthralling to watch. I have favorite characters and favorite love matches even though that is not really what these shows are about. I know many think these ‘procedural’ shows are not very realistic and probably they aren't but I still love them.

24 / Monday / FOX / 8:00p CST

Seriously, I don’t care how unrealistic you think this show is [Charles] – JACK BAUER is one serious bad ass. If there were someone like him making sure this country was safe, I would go to bed every night under the blanket of protection he was providing. If you have not watched this show, go to Blockbuster now, rent all previous seasons and get caught up.

CSI : Miami / Monday / CBS / 9:00p CST

Well, here you go….my favorite redhead. Horatio Caine, expertly played by media bad boy, David Caruso. Most people either love this show or hate based solely on their feelings about how Mr. Caruso plays this character. He never gets hurt, has cheesy one-liners in every episode and suffers from an unhealthy obsession with his sunglasses. But, he is one smooth operator who has endless sympathy and support for the victim. I’ve always had a soft-spot for redheads and this one is at the top of my list these days.

I mean seriously, how could he not be :


Law & Order : SVU / Tuesday / NBC / 9:00p CST

For me this is the best of the Law and Order franchise, I think the cases are hardcore and the actors that have consistently been on this show from the beginning make it that much more addicting. I must say, I have a soft spot for Detective Elliot Stabler.

CSI / Thursday / CBS / 8:00p CST

Some say the original is still the best. I think CSI : Miami edges out the top spot for me but there is nothing wrong with the original. You can’t go wrong with a show based in Vegas as far as I am concerned and this years ongoing story with the miniature killer has keep my interest peaked.

What are your favorite cop shows ??

Joe Kuban : If you want to look like shit when you are 40, go to a tanning salon....

...in fact, he says, if you REALLY want to look like shit when you are 40, then SMOKE and go to a tanning salon."

Sounds like sound advice to me.

Nerd Love

Well, once again, I am a little lax in getting my blog updated. I think I am going to add another aspect of me to the blog and see if that helps me post more often. I don’t really like to be thought of as a person that watches a lot of TV. I do have favorite shows I watch and if I am not around, I usually record them to watch later. So, now I am going to invite you into my world of TV watching. If you watch the shows I mention, please feel free to chime in. I will probably start giving a TV show recap each week now that I am bringing this into my blog.

Today, we are going to start with my Nerd Love shows. These are shows I watch that have a particularly lovable nerd on them.

Ugly Betty / Thursday / ABC / 8:00p CST

Lovable Nerd : HENRY – Accountant at MODE magazine and unrequited love of title character, Betty Suarez. I love them, and if you haven’t watched this show, I recommend catching up during the summer and getting on the bandwagon before fall.

Heroes / Monday / NBC / 8:00p CST

Lovable Nerd : Take your pick, pretty much all the good characters on this show are nerds. This is another one that if you haven’t watched, you must catch up on over the summer. If you are gun-shy because you think it is another LOST with no resolutions in each episode, you are wrong, every one is action packed with answers.

Criminal Minds / Wednesday / CBS / 8:00p CST

Lovable Nerd : REID – He graduated from high school at age 12 and has 3 PhDs. He often serves as the team's statistics expert, he has an uncanny ability for spotting complex patterns. He does not believe that genius can be measured but admits that he has an eidetic memory, an I.Q. of 187 and can read 20,000 words per minute. He also serves as the teams handwriting analyst. WOW ! How much nerdier can you get….love him and love this show.

Crossing Jordan / Wednesday / NBC / 8:00p CST

Lovable Nerd : WOODY – You might think a cop would not be a nerd but this one is. However, as nerdy and awkward as he is, he is one bad-ass cop too. He and the title character have an ongoing unrequited love that makes this show “chick” worthy and the rest of the show makes it an overall must watch for me every week.

Numb3rs / Friday / CBS / 9:00p CST

Lovable Nerd : CHARLIE – This one is about a genius mathematician [be still my heart] that helps his brother, an FBI agent, with complex crimes by using statistics and highly complex mathematical equations. This show is lost on Friday nights because everyone is out and about. But, given the chance, you would love this one too.

Okay, that’s it for nerd love shows….next TV blog will cover my favorite cop shows and my favorite red-head….
