Just one more thing...

Another quick update on how my life is going at the minute.
My wednesday evening workshops are going pretty well, all my students (never thought I'd apply that expression to myself) are very into my course it seems. Had a free ticket to see Knocked Up at the same time my workshop was annoying which was a tad annoying.
What else...
Finished watching the first season of the wonderful West Wing, need to buy the other six seasons on DVD fast (I know some of the seasons vary in quality but I'm a completlist). Still watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, enjoying that, obviously not in the same league but very good. Aaron Sorkin is a bit of a legend.
For some reason I've got Last Comic Standing on at the minute, not sure what to think of it as a show, most of the comedians I don't find particularly funny and a lot of them are very one note. Speaking of something Last Comic Standing related (it will make sense in a bit) I've been getting into watching Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, why? I'm not too sure. I disliked her on Suddenly Susan and really hated her on the red carpet for E! but there is something that worringly draws me too the show ---Oh yeah, she was one of the judges on an episode of Last Comic Standing during the most recent My Life on the D-List episode show over here--- There's a couple of other shows I tend to have on, when I'm not paying 100% such as 8 Simple Rules (they've gone back to the John Ritter years over here) and that Candian show Kenny vs Spenny, which is watchable but also very obviously fake.
Oh yeah, gonna set regular dates during the week for posts to be up.
Every Monday: Guilty Pleasures
Every Friday: Great Television Characters
There's a few more columny type things that may get designated to certain days, just don't want to start them all up at once.

Another update

Thought it was best just to crack on with things. Not had the best of news tonight.

Watched the pilot episode of Stuido 60 on Sunset Strip last night and I have to say I was very impressed. It was a really strong pilot episode. I know I am late seeing this but here in the U.K. it as only just premiered for the first time and am fully aware that the show as already been cancelled. Created by Aaron Sorkin, who made Sports Night and The West Wing, too shows I really like and with a decent cast including Matthew Perry, Bradley Whitford (he possibly was my favourite in West Wing), Amanda Peet (good in the first episode, I've heard negative stuff about her in the show), Steven Weber and Timothy Busfield (he'll always be Pointdexter in Revenge of the Nerds to me) are all characters I want to see more of. Judd Hirsch was brilliant in his little role in the first episode as well with his wonderful rant. I really hope the shows sustains the quality of the first episode. May watch some of the later episodes online but have been trying to avoid that.

Haven't watched a single film all week because of circumstance. I work my first tutor hours next week, got a letter today listing all my hours for the next couple of months, a big DVD spend as to be in there somewhere.
