I’m more than a bit behind on my regular TV viewing. Here’s what I’ve managed to catch up with so far:

1. Beau and I finished watching The Path to 9/11 yesterday. Really, I don’t understand the complaints from anyone. Obviously some conversations would have to be fictionalized to flesh out the story, but the basic information about events and people was right on. We thought it was an excellent series and well worth watching. Its heartbreaking to realize how many indicators were missed in the 90s. Let’s hope that it doesn’t happen again like that.

2. Dancing with the Stars - glory be, this is good TV, except for the new hostess. How terrible is she? Poor Tucker Carlson. I loved Emmitt Smith and Mario Lopez the best and I thought they all did really well for their first dances. It’ll be fun to see who manages to really catch on as time goes.

3. Justice - I watched all three episodes that have aired so far and I think it is a solid show. I like the way they breakdown the different aspects of defending a criminal case. What I most like is that the last minute shows how the crime actually occurred. I’m looking forward to when the team gets a client acquitted and then when we the audience learns that he really did do it.

4. Men in Trees - My mother called me last night to recommend this new show. She caught the pilot on Tuesday and found that ABC was rerunning it last night before the next regular episode. I watched bother episodes and was completely charmed, so this one’s been added to the rotation. It’s very cute and definitely a show for chicks.

I hope to catch up on Vanished and Standoff today.
