Some new TV jazz

Listening to the Glee season 2, volume 4 soundtrack CD right now. I find it stifles the urge to kill.

Anyway. In less disturbing news, did ya catch the premiere of The Borgias on Sunday night? It’s got everything: money, power, sex, murder. And it all takes place in the good ‘ole Vatican in 1492. And, sweet Jesus, it’s good to see Jeremy Irons and Colm Feore on the small screen together. Fabulous cast all around. It’s airing at 10 p.m. on Bravo – and if you missed the double-episode premiere (apparently, Bell satellite customers were shaking their fists when service went down Sunday night), you can watch it on www.bravo.ca

Also just recently caught Endgame (on Showcase, episodes run several times a week) which is interesting (and shot in B.C.), as well as Dana Delany’s new show Body of Proof (ABC or City TV on Tuesdays at 10 p.m.). Crime/murder mystery stuff with neat twists: a Russian chess champion (played by Canadian actor Shawn Doyle) traumatized by the murder of his fiancee, is terrified of leaving his hotel and solves crimes without ever leaving it (presumably to pay for the huge hotel tab he’s running); and a former neurosurgeon turned medical examiner after a car accident left her unable to do brain surgery solving murders/suspicious deaths. Both darkly funny – and a good mystery is always a good time. Plus, Delany’s legs are to die for. Literally.
