I’m going to watch Leverage tomorrow night because John Rogers of Kung Fu Monkey is its executive producer, and John Rogers is funny. Are there better reasons to watch tv?

Hmm. Is Ian McShane on any shows right now? No? Then maybe not.

This reminds a person that he should redeem his coupon for one of those box thingies, so that he can get more than the one channel he currently gets. He still won’t be able to get channel eric-of-the-west is talking about, but maybe he could watch Gossip Girl. Although he is afraid, naturally, of downward spiral of Gossip Girl addiction.

Also it’s good.
I hope they change the music though. I read the pilot script, which has an action line like, “fast upbeat music here — we’re having fun”. Then I downloaded an early copy of the pilot, and the music was sleepy and jazzy and not so much fun.

You can also catch Lt. Cedric Daniels (he’ll always be Lt. Daniels to me) shilling Cadillacs during football games these days.
That’s not reason enough to watch tv in and of itself, but it’s something.

The music seemed pretty upbeat, and the show overall seemed pretty fun. The bit with Hardison dropping the bag while Elliott shows “what he does” was very snappy. I will watch it again Tuesday.

For trenchant observations — or, at least, trenchanter observeringness than the next blog’s — John Rogers absolutely is da bomb.
