TV commentary:
One Day at a Time- Now that I've seen a few more eps, I agree with critics, this is a pretty good show. It manages to suffuse the prosaic family sitcom style with modern sensibility. Heh, I will say, while it does seem to tend more towards a latin family experience, since I'm Filipino, there are some aspects I can empathize with.
( spoiler cut )Bunheads- So six episodes in, I will say Sasha has similar physical attributes to Rory, but her personality seems closer to Paris. I guess I haven't seen enough interaction between Sasha and Michelle yet to see any commonality with Lorelai/Rory (I hear it does though), but Michelle/Fanny is very Lorelai/Emily. Seriously, if I close my eyes I can hardly tell the difference.
The over-arching plots are moving slower than I expected (like I'm totally surprised its taken this long for Michelle to start teaching), which is sad since the show was canceled after the first season so there's only the 18 eps.
It is kinda sad/surprising it didn't get renewed, because it was a quality show. Of course, I'm kinda split on its fate- I think it deserved more seasons, but if it didn't get canceled, Ginny wouldn't have been free to be Lauren on Faking It, and she was one of the best parts of that show. (Speaking of Faking It, is it me, or does Sasha look a lot like a raven haired Amy Raudenfeld?)
