Dare I admit it? "Legend of the Seeker" is my secret guilty pleasure show of the year. The show is completely ridiculous, but I look forward to a new episode showing up on Hulu every Monday probably more than I look forward to any of my other shows right now

You know, I've been thinking of getting into "Legend of the Seeker" for some time now. I've yet to read any of the books it's based off of, but I have seen an occasional episode and have...lol, well been entertained AND NOT ASHAMED by this in the least, lmao (given my epic love for cheesy old school Doctor Who I think I should just stop being ashamed of anything ever, lmao!).

I absolutely adore Mr. Laurie as well, but I too am on the outs with House these days. Like you it's more out of boredom than any issue I have with the show itself.

Despite ridiculous plots, super-cheesy special effects, questionable acting, and giggle-inducing dialogue, I have to say I really like the show. It's like they said "Hell, let's be RIDICULOUS and not care!" You kinda have to admire their spirit! :)

I actually read the first book after getting hooked on the series, but I wouldn't really recommend it. It was pretty "blah." Characters speak in expository sentences and declare their feelings a lot. There's an awful lot of telling and not showing. I can handle that in the show, but 500 pages of it makes a deadly dull read.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one feeling a bit bored with House these days. It's not the show's fault - they've done some cool stuff this year - and lord knows I would pay good money to watch Hugh Laurie read the phone book, but I need vacation!! Especially from Foreman and Thirteen - SO BORING!! But I love Chase's haircut ;-)
