I treated myself to a new Ipod which has video and while perusing the videos available at Itunes, found a gem of a show. The Riches is a show on the Fox network with a dark, comedic story line. The cast is so much fun to watch. I am addicted. I haven't felt this way about a television show since the early days of ER or St. Elsewhere. Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard in the first season have an intense love relationship, even though both have their demons to deal with, Minnie as Dahlia is a drug addict and Eddie Izzard as Wayne has a big ego. The kids are quirky, but it works in this show. The premise is that they are travelers (think southern gypsies in an RV) who end up becoming part of the American dream, "stealing it..." Wayne passes as a lawyer and Dahlia gets a job as a dental hygienist, and oh by the way, they haven't graduated high school. But these two are a treat to watch as the lies just flow from their mouth just as easily as the Mississippi river never stops. I am hooked! Has anyone else out in my little blog world seen this show yet? What do you think?
See, you and I discovered a show at about the same time, though ours was Brothers and Sisters.
ReplyDeleteI have been watching 'The Riches' since it started and am a HUGE fan. It is about to wrap up Season 2, I think. I won't say anything about the direction in which it goes, but I will say that I hope enough people discover it, as you have, so that it has a long life. It's well written, characters are well developed, the longer it goes on the more friction and conflict develop. It's great!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it. Wondering why you couldn't see it on regular TV. Isn't that a terribly small screen to watch a show on? Just when do you watch a TV show on an iPod?
ReplyDeletenever heard of it Jenny!!! Which Ipod did you got?
ReplyDeleteI have a Nano 2 Gig from the first generations (no video) but I love it!!! My sister gave it to me! :)
Guess you are really stuck on that TV show or something else is keeping you from blogging. I miss you. Better yet, you are missing all my beautiful tulips!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of it, but haven't seen it....I love my iPod video and I do download series sometimes that for whatever reason, I didn't see on TV. We splurged a little bit and bought Apple TV, but I'm a little disappointed with it. We mostly bought it for movies, but rarely have anything I really want to watch or haven't seen 100 times already!!!
ReplyDeleteare you okay girl? No update in a while...
