IR TV

[Arch , Mod]

Danielle, I've searched my TV guide to see if there will be a repeat this week, but there isn't a repeat. I guess they have stopped that.

When Saving Grace use to play on Monday, a repeat would come on that Tuesday. Oh well, in reruns of this season, I'll get a chance to get it.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

They will start showing reruns in the middle of this season and the next. You'll get your chance, Arch.

[Arch , Mod]

Yes, I have to see Butch.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Butch is a cutie.

[Arch , Mod]

Yes, he is.

[Arch , Mod]

Eugenia, I only watch Saving Grace, because of Butch. I have to only see his parts.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

There's a BWWM interracial couple on The New Newlywed Game right now. I just noticed this flipping channels.

[new_user]

I was wondering what happened to that show! LOL.

Did you see tonight's episode of The Game, btw? Jason Momoa was on as bad boyfriend, LOL. And Jason played hero. *tear*

[Arch , Mod]

Thanks Danielle for telling me that. But, I'm recording Psych.

The New Newlywed Game is hosted by Connie Wilson, right?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

The couple is so cute!

I haven't watched The Game for a while. Who was Jason bad boyfriend to?

Yeah, but I think it's Carnie. Oh the BWWM couple made it to the final round.

[new_user]

To Kelly! And Jason saved the day, and Kelly looked all nostalgic, but then he gets a call from his new girl. ;_;

And I just heard that The Game is cancelled! *horror* They're in talks with BET, so I really hope they pick it up and it stays great.

If I am not mistaken, The Game does come on BET on weekends. Saturdays. I've seen it a couple of weeks ago.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

I hope they pick it up too.

[Arch , Mod]

Danielle, I don't know where I have gotten Connie Wilson from. It's Carnie Wilson, like you have said. I knew that woman's name started with a C. I think they play the episodes more than once or at least I hope so. I will check after Psych. If they do, I'm recording the show. I tend to record shows that have BWWM on them. I've recorded an episode of House Hunters with an interracial couple on it months ago.

I know this may sound strange, but I can read a show's description and tell, when a show is going to have an BWWM couple. Sometimes, I am wrong, but most time I am right.

I'm hinted to get my VCR ready. Now, if there's no description to a show, I'm still hinted to get my VCR ready.

I was totally in love with Zoe and Wash from Fire Fly. I can not believe it was cancelled. Brought me back to the days when I was crushing on red heads like Eric Stolts. Anyway, the movie did bring a little closure, but there was so much potential in that story line.

[CaliGirlRae, Mod Squad]

Oh hear hear, J. I so miss Zoe and Wash, too. There was so much story left but the networks just messed the whole operation up, saldy. The movie was heartbreaking especially during "that scene" and I always flinch at that part whenever I watch it.

If you read comics/graphic novels, I hear that Joss Whedon may be continuing the storyline in there like he did his Buffy series. I'm not sure when it'll be available though, unfortunately.

[CaliGirlRae, Mod Squad]

Btw, there was a SF show called Virtuality from RDM (he adapted the new Battlestar show) which was supposed to be a back door pilot but it didn't really take off. Anyway, I think there was an IR couple in there (BWAM) and Joy Bryant played the woman. I'm not quite sure because I haven't seen it yet, but from the promos it appeared they were together.

Yeah, I think BET only runs the repeats. They're trying to get rights to produce original episodes. I hope they do, because the story didn't end with the finale, especially with the most interesting couple, Kelly and Jason (WWBM).

Wow. I'd love to see you BWWM show collection, Arch. That's a good idea.

I loved Zoe and Wash too. I have jones for redhead men. I love Damian Lewis. I just want to run my fingers through his lovely red hair.

It got cancelled. Too bad because James D'Arcy was on there. He is so cute.

I was very sad when their marriage broke up. They seemed like a good couple.

[Arch , Mod]

Danielle, I don't have a large collection.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

You will one day. :)

Danielle wrote: "I was very sad when their marriage broke up. They seemed like a good couple..."

Yeah, they're obviously still in love. ;_; I love the way the show handled it though. Very real. No huge dramas. I watched like all of the last season last night on Youtube, LOL.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Sees Love in All Colors]

Somebody's hooked on this show!!!!

[new_user]

LOL. Yes, I admit it. I am, I am. *sheepish*

[Justine]

What on earth is going on with Eureka? Can't a black woman get a break? I thought the chemistry between Carter and Alison was off the wall. Yet now they've introduced a blonde bimbette as his love interest! Do they want me to stop watching?

Pissed off. Really pissed off! And to add insult to injury they've killed Kim twice now!!!

[Jenn]

This is one of the many reasons I have given up on TV shows. I know they have to keep changing to keep it "fresh" which maybe good as a whole but is frustrating as an individual. The other is my commitment issues, but that is another story;)

[Justine]

Ah but Eureka is such a treasure. And with Monk being in the last season I fear that I won't have anything to watch.

[Sharon]

Ohhh Passions?

That was a very good show lol

[Arch , Mod]

Maybe there will be some British shows with interracial romance. I've noticed that British television aren't shy about hooking up BWWM.

Am I the only one that notices this?

[Sharon]

Sometime back someone made the comment that Taylor Lautner's character on My Own Worst Enemy didn't look anything like he could be Christian Slater's son and that he didn't look like the mother or sister.

I had not even clued into that, I was just very happy to see him acting.
Came to find out that in one of the promo traliers Christian Slater's wife was hispanic or mixed, and so were the kids but for the actual show the wife and daughter are white.

I agree, J. I have learned to be very careful about falling in love with a particular couple on tv shows. It never lasts.

Thank goodness for BBCA.

Justine I know!!!

I thought Sheriff Carter and Allison were going to be together

I know. I have not watched it in a long time (2nd season I think), but I will never forget that episode when they were stuck to a magnetic fence together. I remember thinking now that is a hot couple! And don't get me started on any episode with the sheriff sans clothes.

Yeah I heard they were bringing her in to "heat things up" as tension between Carter and Allison as I decided not to watch. I'd probably end up throwing something at the tv. Sigh.

Plus I'm still sore over Kim and Henry. I loved those two. >:-(

Indeed. I heart BBC. :-)

Lol that was great. Ahh memories. :-)

[Sharon]

I say "Poor Sheriff Carter" about 5 times per episode lol
He is so lost when they start speaking science stuff Lol

[TinaNoir]

Oh, ye of little faith. I just think blondie is nothing but a Plot Device. They keep bringing Kim back to torture poor Henry, but her continued presence reminds us that there is still a plot line dangling from season 1. Allison and Carter have an alternate future together where they are married and having a bebeh! I don't think we've seen the end of that possible future for these two.

Also remember all along, Carter has been the one openly pining for Allison. Now it is time for payback. She needs to start to pine for him.

[CaliGirlRae, Mod Squad]

I'm reeeaallly hoping you are correct, Tina. Television has burned me so much in the past, especially with all my favorite sci-fi shows. There's always a point where the show is reaching then if the numbers aren't high enough, or if they shift it to the Friday night death slot then you know it's on the outs. And no matter if the show finished its storyline or not, the suits don't see fit to bring it back no matter what and fans are left hanging. I hope this doesn't happen with Eureka but the Friday thing scares me and the new tension to put a new character between Allison and Carter is also a but eyebrow raising because of how far they are into the show and they haven't really gotten anywhere.

Maybe it's just me and my cynical tv watching mind lol. I'm still burned by Travis and Callie. Hmph.

no not at all Arch, this is quite common in british tv. european tv doesn't have this nonsensical taboo thing that america has. i can't wait till the freaking mid west stop running the freaking country!

[Arch , Mod]

American TV needs to wake up.

i thought so too! they better kill of the blondie or they are going to get a nasty note from me!

chile if i didn't need every cent now- i would have thrown something at the tv since that blonde began to put the move on carter. Alison better get her act together and go get her man

oh wait a minute - the writers have to do that don't they? hmmmmmmmmmm you know what- i think i'm gonna have to drop someone a note

OK Tina- I will hold off on my letter then. Coz I'm hoping you've got an inside ear. But I'm gonna have to warn ya - if what you say don't pan out - I'm gonna have to write two notes - and SYFY(stupid name) only getting one o them!
