wongies list: january 2007

we all love lists. so i figured that from now on, i'll put out a monthly list of things that i'm buzzing about, and therefore you should too (as you probably have figured by now, modesty is a trait that i kind of lack):

tv
1. greys anatomy - emotional, surprising and just the right dose of humor, it is possible to consistently have the best show on tv.
2. medium - scary as all hell! the most under appreciated drama around.
3. celebrity big brother uk - i got caught up with the shilpa shetty drama and now i'm hooked
4. ugly betty - with the addition of a transsexual to the campy mix, is there any more reason you haven't fallen in love with this cute show yet?
5. the knights of prosperity - between the burly black guy and the columbian waitress, this is probably the funniest show of the new season.
6. the office - still painful to watch, which is why i love it so much!
7. 30 rock - between alec baldwin and the running 'rural juror' joke, '30' finally has it's comedic rhythm down, and i love it!
8. heroes - FINALLY the show is back!
9. brothers & sisters - totally sentimental, but i love this dysfunctional family.
10. battlestar galactica - with the best winter cliffhanger of last year, i'm ready for more.
11. waterloo road (uk series 2) - my guilty pleasure series of last month returns with brand new episodes from the uk. i never knew public schools could be this tumultuous.
12. 24 - oh great, now it's nuclear.
13. dancelife - it's cheesy, but this will bide me until 'so you think you can dance' starts again in the summer.
14. the L word - estrogen girl on girl drama continues to be a blast.
15. dirt - it truly is trashy. which is probably why i'm a guiltily addicted.

music
1. siobhan donaghy
2. tracey thorn
3. chemical brothers
4. lcd soundsystem
5. eddi reader
6. ingrid michaelson
7. just jack
8. metric
9. kaiser chiefs
10. timbaland

movies (on the buzz)
1. 300 - aka buff men fighting in shorts
2. hot fuzz - from the creators of 'shaun of the dead'
3. grindhouse - tarantino and rodruiguez go genre crazy! so do we ;)
4. 1408 - creepy horror with john cusack and samuel l jackson.
5. reno 911: miami - loved the show, will probably like the film
6. protege (hk) - one of my fave hk directors offers his spin on the drug world of asia. strong sexy cast led by andy lau.
