Last night two new shows premiered.

Both were police procedurals.

Blindspot is about the woman who wakes naked in the middle of Times Square covered in tattoos that each week will reveal a new conspiracy attack on the USA. The writing was good and the acting solid. But it still is a police procedural. There is an over-arching conspiracy that will be revealed each week. It held my interest all the way through.

Minority Report occurs ten years after the movie by that name (remember, the one with Tom Cruise, Colin Ferrel, Max Von Sydow) and one of the "pre-cogs" has ventured into the real world once again. He finds and teams with a lady cop (Stark Sands, Meagan Good, Nick Zano, and Wilmer Valderrama) play the Pre-cog and police he helps. It's a "solve a murder each week" cop show with the other two Pre-Cogs meddling as part of a huge (or is it YYYYYUGE) conspiracy happening behind the scenes. The writing was pedestrian. the special effects spectacular. The result was OK for SciFi freaks and kind of "Meh" for the rest of the world.

BTW - if you don't understand "Pre-Cog" and have never seen the movie "Minority Report" then you might understand why it has the lesser audience.

Both shows are casting diverse people which is good.

Tonight, I won't be able to watch the first hour of SCREAM QUEENS. I would appreciate someone else venturing an opinion. Too many personal chores to handle to pay it any attention. I'll catch up with ON DEMAND sometime.

I will, however, watch NCIS in it's 13th season premiere with mostly the same character and the same story because I want to.

Oh gag, sorry - another cop story. yawn.

Seriously, I would rather watch paint dry. 13 seasons?

River poops on another cop show.

Aloha

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE! I am sick and tired of cop shows!

My Thursday night get together crowd is 20-30 of us invading a particular restaurant for 90 minutes of fun. We are referred to as the Screaming Queens. Will that work for you?

Are one of you Jamie Lee Curtis?

She's the only reason I'm going to watch. On the interview programs she called said it was like A FISH CALLED WANDA with screams.

That's one of my favorite satirical movies.

LIMITLESS

(not the movie the TV series premiered tonight)

Well written and nicely shot.

The premise is police procedural. Some putz (a total failure in life) gets given one of the magical pills that increases his brainpower to the max levels. It did keep my attention for the hour.

Bradley Cooper makes a cameo. I like him as an actor and a person.

I love that movie, own it, watched it last week. Great cast, good movie.

WORST COOKS IN AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION

Another premier...

Just too funny. Not only can't they cook, they don't even know what a knife or a pot or a bowl looks like.

One of them cooked eggplant parmesan and said it was his "third date" closer for sex. My immediate thought was that he was quite celibate if what he was cooking was what closed the deal.

This is a comedy joy for a few episodes before they teach the zaniness and sheer silliness from the worst of the worst.

One of them screwed up hard boiled eggs.

I have to cook for myself and once in a while I create dog food. Not that brown stuff you buy in cans, the real mistakes that all household cooks make sometime. At least I'm not as bad as they are.

hmmm...

and here I thought that BLIND SPOT WAS WHAT DICK AND JANE DID TO BE CRUEL...

It is actually not hard.

1. Put eggs in boiling water.

2. Put timer/think - 5 minutes and I'll be back.

3. Go back to internet/chat/something.

4. Forget/do not hear the timer.

5. Smell the eggs going from boiled to fried.

6. Mission accomplished. :)
