It’s time for me to play catch-up a bit, as the computer was effectively down for a while and life has been too full to catch up since then.
Caught an episode of Cuts, a new sitcom (apparently a spin-off of something I don’t watch) set in a “day spa”. An uninvolving, jokey sitcom. Not particularly horrid as such things go, but nothing worth the bother either.
Thursday brought the premiere of Law and Order: Franchise Extension. Er, I mean Law and Order: Trial By Jury, much the same as other L & O shows, only with more focus on the courtroom scenes. (Any suggestion of a major focus on the jury proved inaccurate in at least the first episode.) As such, it falls into the general L & O category of “watchable, if you need filler”, but nothing more. It does have the advantage of Bebe Neuwirth, who is a good actress and sexy largely because of her intelligence. But that’s not enough to put it on my recording schedule.
As a side note, even if I hadn’t known that Jerry Orbach had died, he looked aged enough in the episode that I might have thought him not long for the world.
