Did anyone watch this last night? I did, and was surprised - it didn't totally suck. I still wanted to watch 'Private Practice', but I do live with boys...  |

They would have liked Private Practice. Lots of eye candy there.
PP was not bad. I wasn't expecting much...Addison is not one of my favorite Grey's characters, but Taye Diggs.... 
Bionic Woman, meh. I thought it was stupid the first time around. Since when is recycling old TV shows into a brand new series a good idea???? Can't they come up with original ideas?

They hate Grey's Anatomy. It's not the eye candy so much as the storyline. And yep, BW made me gag the first time around. This one's much darker, sort of like a comic book. |

I LOVED the first Bionic Woman. My friends and I would play pretend games where we were bionic women fighting crimes - a sort of cross between Charlie's Angels and Jaime Sommers. We thought it was great!

Ackk!!! Farrah Fawcett was in Charlie's Angels, wasn't she? I got CA mixed up with BW. Sigh. That's the one which made me gag when I was little. |

Private Practice was ok. It would have been better if the story lines weren't so unbelievable. |

Bionic Woman was my favorite show when I was 7-9 years old. I had the doll too. I expected to hate it last night, but I didn't. They did the right thing by not making her like the other character at all - except in name. It's not the same story redone; so I don't have to keep comparing the two.

See "Battlestar Galactica", which rocks.
I always try to give a new series at least 3 episodes if I like the premise, because some of my all time favorites took more than a couple eps to find a groove. BW was promising IMHO, but we'll see where it goes.

We didn’t watch Bionic Woman, but did watch Private Practice and whatever came on after it. Was that Dirty Sexy Money? Either way, I really liked them both. I was hoping I wouldn’t so I wouldn’t have another night of TV to watch, but I think I might be stuck.

I liked it, and I was prepared to not like it.

Not yet - we watch our shows all on DVR - no commercials. I'm usually anywhere from an hour to a day behind schedule.
We watched Bionic Woman and CSI yesterday on time delay. Dirty sexy Money will be tonight over dinner probably  |

I tried to watch Bionic Woman online this morning (I woke up WAY too early) but only got as far as Jamie and (her little sister?) in the car on the way to school when it just stopped streaming. I've got DSL, but it's Lite, and may not be up to streaming current TV shows (although I have very little trouble with the AOL Video site).

Dirty Sexy Money was predictable IMO. I've always liked Donald Sutherland tho, so I may keep it on the play list for a while.
Funny side bit...the boys were watching something the other night and I had my back turned. Someone was talking and I said "Oh, that's...." turned around and realized it was Kiefer, not Donald. They sound EXACTLY the same.

Ok, I love this show! I didn't think I'd like it, and I still sort of wish it wasn't on at the same time as Private Practice, but I absolutely love it! | |
