It was 9pm and I turned to ABC to watch Men In Trees. There was a basketball game still on, but it looked like it was almost over. So I kept it on the channel and then it went into over time. Next thing I knew it went into double over time.

Finally it was over at 9:35. Five minutes of commercials later the show starts. Only after a few minutes I realize it's not the beginning of the show. In fact, it's the last twenty minutes. I missed the first forty minutes of the episode. :(

It's about a New York police detective who is immortal. He became immortal in the 18th century after saving an indian woman.

He apparently has to find his soulmate to become mortal again. In the first episode he gets a new partner. A woman. He had a heartattack somehow and the doctor (a woman) who tried to save him is who he thinks may be his soulmate. The heartattack killed him and then he came back alive in the morgue.

There will probably be sexual tension between him and his partner. Frankly I wish his new partner was a guy. I want a Starsky and Hutch or a Due South. I'm tired of shows with a male and female as leads and there is sexual tension between them. I'm tired of ship. I want friendship. I want a buddy show.

Well, if they did that. it'll be Ho-Yay central.

I mean, look at Supernatural. They are friggin' BROTHERS and there is Wincest and J2 RPS all over. People just can't accept the fact that there can be affection between two people that is NOT romantic love. It's the sad truth in our society. We value romantic love over all other types, family, friendship, patriotism.

It makes me hella pissed. I will now withdraw from my soapbox.

I agree with you - I love buddy shows. ;) It's why I love John and Rodney, and why, as frustrated as I get with Atlantis sometimes, I'll never stop watching as long as they keep giving me John & Rodney scenes. ;)

I haven't watched New Amsterdam yet but I checked the FOX website and they've it up so I might try it out tonight.
