I went to knitting club last night . . . the first time since November which was the only time that I had gone. I finished my first project (yay!) which was a grey scarf for BF. He was genuinely surprised when I gave it to him last night which is funny because I told him when I started it that I was making it for him. Short memory, I guess.
The conversation at knitting club tends to be very girly -- 2 of the girls are planning their weddings. I tend to zone out at those moments since I am not planning a wedding any time soon and because I have to concentrate on knitting or else I end up making mistakes and having to pull out rows of stitches (aargh!). Anyway, we were talking about our current TV lineups. When I said that I watch Lost and 24, Bride to Be ("B2B") pointed out that I like action shows. I never really thought of it that way, but I guess she's right. This explains why I watch Alias but it doesn't explain my recent obsession with reality TV. Current faves include Project Runway, America's Next Top Model (both of which I got sucked into last weekend because there were marathons and I ended up watching them while cleaning my apartment) and Dancing with the Stars. I guess those balance out my "action" side. I also love watching teen shows such as What I Like About You, the OC and Gilmore Girls. Then there are the one offs like House and Scandinavian Cooking with Tina Nordstrom. Enough about my current TV trends.
What made for interesting conversation last night was when we started
talking about relatively new TV shows -- none of which I had heard of (Injustice?). But then someone mentioned Rob Estes. Before I could stop myself, the words "You mean from Silk Stalkings!" popped out of my mouth. The Other Bride to Be ("OB2B") didn't believe me. She was convinced that David Duchovny was on Silk Stalkings. Uh-uh. No way. As ET#1 knows, I had watched all of the Crime Time After Prime Time shows and David was never on any of them. OB2B was getting Silk Stalkings confused with the Red Shoe Diaries. Not the same thing at all. B2B then said that I was right (of course) and that Rina Sofer was the girl on the show. Wrong again. I couldn't remember her name at the time, but no way was it Rina Sofer (it was Mitzi Kapture). This got me thinking about the rest of the shows on Crime Time After Prime Time -- why was I watching all of these? Because we didn't have cable and it was on CBS after the news. This morning, I googled Forever Knight (another Crime Time After Prime Time show) and found this. The internet is an amazing thing.

ET#2, Crime time after prime time! I'd take it any day over Letterman. (Except for Sweating Bullets) I have so many CTAPT memories. Like remember the time we were on the subway and we saw the actor from "Under Suspicion" and I introduced myself as a fan. Or the fact that we put the "Forever Knight" intro, after aging it with coffee and burnt edges, permanently shellacked onto our coffee table. I think your obsession for "Dark Justice" guided you into a career in law. One day you will be a judge by day and a vigilate by night. Oh I could go on.... TV makes me happy.
PS.
OB2B is a moron. How can you confuse a pornographic miniseries with a quality crime drama. tsk tsk.
Ah, Dark Justice. I thought I went to Law School because I had nothing better to do, but you're right! I'm sure TV influenced my decision. BTW, Rob Estes will be in The Evidence on ABC, Wed. 3/22 at 10 pm. Again, thanks IMDB!
"As a cop I lost my collars to legal loopholes, but I believed in the system. As a D.A. I lost my case to crooked lawyers, but I believed in the system. As a judge my hands were bound by the letter of the law, but I believed in the system. Until they took my life away. Then I stopped believing in the system and started believing in justice. [cue motorcyle]"
