TV on a day of wind chill warnings
I watched a lot of television yesterday. (Honestly, I probably would have even if I weren't stuck inside with the Arctic vortex dumping snow and dangerously cold air on my continent.)
Counting news, something like eight hours of broadcast television (albeit with commercials) and a 96-minute movie on DVD. (Disfigured)
I watched two CBS procedurals (Elementary and The Mentalist) and reruns of two USA shows (Burn Notice and White Collar). Whatever issues I have with White Collar's premise, I think the USA shows have better scripts overall than the CBS detective shows. I may just give up on those again.
I quite liked last night's The Good Wife. For a show about ethically dubious lawyers, it can have a sense of humor about it. This one had a case about rights to transformative work that made a good point about song covers that re-invent. And a funny cameo at the end.
