I watched the first episode of Ken Finkleman's new short series At the Hotel last night. It's been getting some mediocre reviews, but I quite enjoyed it, especially after two of the characters broke into "Sue Me" from Guys and Dolls. Ha! It was a serious rendition, too, fitting right in with their storyline. And they could both sing. Probably Stratford alumni or something.

I love Canadian tv, because a) it's usually low-key and odd, and b) it features a veritable cast of HITGs, Canadian edition. Here we had Carlo Rota and Alberta Watson (from Nikita), and Nigel Bennett (who I recognized but couldn't figure out why, and I'm very sad to tell you that it's because he was in Lexx, which has obviously infiltrated my brain despite only having ever watched that one episode). Plus I hear Don McKellar will be on it some point. Of course.

I'm pretty excited about America's Next Top Model starting up again tonight, too. Other than my daily dose of The Hour, I don't watch much real-time TV anymore, but I miss the anticipation factor that comes from watching something when it broadcasts. Plus, the cheese! It's a terrible show, I know, but I love it.

I meant to watch that last night, but we were out and the VCR was taping HOUSE.

Glad you liked it!!

Nigel Bennett will always be Lacroix from Forever Knight to me.

Oh, god, I forgot about that show. I don't think I ever saw a full episode, but yeah, I can kind of picture him. Oh, Canada.
