The Unit

[anna]

Is anyone watching The Unit? I thought I was hooked after the premiere. Dennis Haysbert taking down the hijackers!! However, Kim, the new wife who I thought was going to be an interesting irritant to the other wives, folded halfway through the second episode. So, I dunno.

i watched it last week,, and tried to last nite,

i did miss one important part,, who was the injured man they took on the plane that jumped out?

i guess the young preggars wife is to be the non compliant one in this series, similar to marty,,the one that is to make us not sure if we like her or not,
( for the record,, i dont' care too much for her self centered whiney ass )

I'll give it a shot based on your take, anna.

Let's compare notes on The Heist after it premieres next week. Doobrah put me on to Dougray Scott, the lead, star of a wonderful movie called Enigma, and that darling Cinderella movie with Drew Barrymore and Angelica Huston, the name of which is -- ah hah! Ever After. And Reno Wilson's in The Heist, looking funny and smart.

Prison Break's new again next week, and if I can hang on until June there's the new season of Rescue Me.

You gotta look hard to find good watching after Blind Justice, but it's there . . . .

When is this on? I'll give it a shot.

Right after NCIS on CBS, Tuesday nights.

He was a terrorist. I took that they just happened to recognize him while they were trying to get the fallen satellite and took the opportunity to nab him as well.

And, yes, Kim is a pain in the neck, but - for the sake of the story - she provided a contrast to the Stepford-esque calm of the other wives in the first episode.

I watched the premiere last week--pretty good. Not must see, but I'll have it in my mind.

However, must see TV for me occurs at the same time, so I probably won't be watching it.

Godiva's. I would have started a thread, but it's a Canadian show, so most won't receive it. If there was ever a "guilty pleasures" show, this is it!

Here's the official blurb:

Set in Vancouver's trendy Yaletown, this Gemini-nominated series takes viewers inside the high-pressure restaurant biz and the entwined private lives of its young and struggling employees.

Yeah, well, whatever. This show is about sex--all kinds, all types, all the time!!!. I am really embarrased that I love this show--it's kind of like a trashy talk show that you can't stop watching!

Here's the official website.

I must say the actor who plays Ramir is a real babe. Quite surprising for a show to have the lead character a Hindu--nice move.

Modified to add--I think we in Canada are doubly blessed. We get all the American shows, plus Canadian ones, but Americans rarely get Canadian shows--if they do it is often many seasons later, like DaVinci's Inquest.

I have also watched this since House wasn't on. Not a bad show at all, in my opinion. Of course it got a good lead in with NCIS.

Kim is somewhat annoying--even her hubby lost it with her in the last episode even though it wasn't her fault but a "garbled transmission". Yeah and Molly is rather too calm but her story of the rat to cover for her husband was a good one. And the other wife, what is her name...Tiffy??? Having an affair with the boss while her husband is off fighting the bad guys!!! I guess you have to have one on every show any more.

I felt for Brown being thrown to the wolves--FBI--like that but he covered his behind rather well!
