The TV Addict 

I guess I wasn’t paying enough attention to even notice Marcia Cross’s pregnancy weight. If I can stand to watch this show much longer, I’ll have to pay more attention to that. I guess Tom & Lynette’s new daughter can be added the long list of nasty kids on this show (Julie was the one untarnished one before she started hooking up with obnoxious shirtless boy). I did, however, like how Lynette handled getting the kid out of the restaurant. Finally, her sons’ rambunctiousness can be used for good.

I still can’t make up my mind about Brothers & Sisters. Sometimes I think it’s too political, but then I think it’d be boring if the family didn’t have that topic to talk about. Plus, it’s an interesting twist to have a show that addresses the war, politics, and social issues so head on when a lot of shows don’t (I really like the way Boston Legal does it). I liked how the mistress is actually involved in the family business, and I liked the scenes in the drug therapy sessions. I could have done without the whole Republicans and guns stereotype, however.

I don’t know if credit for this should go to the director, the costume designer, or the sound department, but did you notice how loud they made Wettig’s high heel shoes on the hardwood floor as she was walking in to take up her place in the office? To me that was a nice touch, very symbolic of someone who was ready to have her piece of the action and not afraid to show it.
