Secret Confession #15
Tuesday, May 22, 2007 @ 2:16 AM
Earlier this evening, I signed up for another free two week trial of Netflix so that I could get season five of "Six Feet Under." And they've introduced this new "Watch Instantly" feature. I searched for all kinds of things I wanted to see, like season two of "Weeds," "Arrested Development," even "Futurama," though I think I've seen every single episode. None of those were available, or anything else I searched for. I couldn't find anything I particularly wanted to watch. The only thing that looked remotely interesting was a British show called "Coupling."
Kids. I have found the ultimate guilty pleasure obsession. It's like all my other favorite guilty pleasure TV shows rolled into one, and British. I watched all six episodes in season one and now I'm into season two. I will probably not stop until I've watched all three seasons. It is ridiculous but I love it. I hate two of the female characters, but the third (Susan) is my hero. Richard Coyle is my new actor crush. I cannot explain why I'm sitting in the dark, laughing so hard I'm choking. It is dumb and silly and kind of sexist - but it is bloody brilliant.
If you want to see any of it, comment and I'll e-mail you my netflix username and password so you can watch it, too.
I can't believe this. I signed up so that I could watch the most artful television series ever created, but I end up watching BBC trash. It's like "Sex and the City" meets "Friends" meets "Saved by the Bell" - you know it's ridiculous, and you're probably getting dumber just by watching it. But you can't help yourself - you just keep watching.
Susan: "Some men were born lucky. Some men were born very lucky."
Sally: "What was Patrick born?"
Susan: "A tripod."
Patrick: "What would I be without my penis?"
Sally: "Literate?"
Guy: "Yeah... but does size really matter? You know what women always say."
Patrick: "...Ouch?"
5/23 - I had to update with this, my new favorite quote:
"I'm not pregnant! I'm not pregnant! I have shagged and shagged and shagged, and all the little bastards missed!"
