What do you watch on TV? (by way of the Emmys)

I've now lost count of the British actors in Hollywood, they seem all over the place.

Yes, dammit, they are edging out our local Canadians!

I'll admit, one of the reasons why I'm enjoying Grimm is because it's been a nice change of pace from other shows with regular supernatural/superpowered occurrences.  In other shows, the cops are either part of a massive cover-up conspiracy, look the other way, or are just incompetent morons despite all the crazy circumstances around the killings, missing persons, and other strange behavior.  On Grimm, the crazy supernatural stuff still has a firm enough basis in reality that the cops can not only get reasonably involved, but prove to be quite capable and helpful.  Also, Grimm's lead has a pretty stable personal life and his job as a cop mostly lines up with keeping the supernatural types in check.  Which is also a refreshing change from other shows where the frequent WAAAAAngsting about how awful it is to be responsible for fighting evil just wears down my interest.

In short, I'm finding that I enjoy the show largely because there are noticeable (and in my reckoning, positive) differences in tone from other supernatural-styled shows.  Though I admit that it might not stand too well on its own merits.

Hmmm. I'll have to keep trying, number3fac.

I don't mind admitting that sitcoms are considerably more entertaining (Big Bang Theory and 30 Rock in this case) with half a bottle of Merlot inside.
