S1 Better off Ted: Utterly adorable. The 20 minute format is working for me and I’m in love with all of the cast members. Portia de Rossi is killing me with Veronica’s delivery and I’m delighted to hear it got a second season.

S1 Leverage: turned out to be good fun, I laughed quite often and only squeaked with plot-hole-tech rage intermittently. I love people being insanely competent! Parker (with her psycho glee and lack of social graces) and Spencer (love the soft voice and ability to kill with a hors d'oeuvres) ended up my favourites with Hardison (“If you were a geek, you’d be so turned on right now”) coming in a close second, was also pleasantly surprised by Mark Sheppard playing Stirling (I loved him in Firefly and BSG).

S1 Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was quite watch-able despite people suggesting I skip straight to S2. OK I was knitting as well and I’m tickled by having a James Ellison if only because of my love for The Sentinel. This is definitely triggering squeaking with plot-hole-tech rage but I’m frequently distracted by how beautiful Sarah, John and Derek’s eyes are so I’m getting a lot of shallow joy out of this. I’m also dead keen on Summer Glau’s ‘I’m a robot’ body language. Starting S2 now.
