Must-see Tuesday
In the medium old days on only-network television, it was "must-see Thursday." FOr me, these days of cable-and-network shows, it's Tuesday that rocks. And I'm awfully glad for Tivo since they're all on opposite each other and a person couldn't very well watch them all at once anyway:
--Dancing with the Stars - its appeal is waning for me after three seasons but I still enjoy it
--NCIS - a guilty pleasure because it has no especially redeeming social value or plots,
--The Unit - thoughtful and well acted, never pretentious or patting itself on a smug back, wonderfully acted by Dennis Haysbert and a slew of others; each show tops the last one, somehow, as did last night's episode
--House - one of the best shows on networks or cable thanks in large part to awesome acting by Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard and its slew of others,
--Damages - originally a summer show but extending into late October, I'm happy to say, and renewed for next year (!); it's got more plot twists and turns, and apparently evil but maybe good (and apparently good but maybe evil) characters than anything I've ever watched; it's nothing less than fabulous
And people mourn the days of good tv. Where are they on Tuesdays?

Did you ever see him in Bertie and Wooster, the P.G. Wodehouse series he did several years ago? Astonishingly different and well worth looking at.
