Confessions of a Primetime Snob

I’ve gone through periods of not watching TV for months or longer. I’d lost interest in typical primetime programming and developed Fear of Bad Sitcoms. I tended to not have hope about the quality of premiering series and didn’t bother watching. Cable series such as Sopranos, Six Feet Under and Weeds provided entertainment – along with brit crime fare Prime Suspect, Cracker, etc.

Eventually, due to sleeplessness, satellite and syndication, I’m now hooked on CSI. The original CSI is amazing (CSI:NY is good as well, IMO). Petersen / Helgenberger (and Sinise) have long been faves of mine. The technical research, writing and acting are top notch. What an interesting creative team!

Does anyone remember the ‘new’ Twilight Zone series from 1985? There was an episode with William Petersen and Frances McDormand solving a mystery in a small town. Very good. Looking back, the new TZ had some good writers.
