Have started watching it now.
And it is, in fact, serious, uptight and usually boring.
Will fall asleep watching CM someday and probably be found dead with huge rake stuck in chest. Some sort of a Murphy's Law inspired life-imitating-art thing.
Anyhoo, when all else fails, the one thing that keeps me glued ("loosely tied' being a better adjective) to my telly is one certain Doc Reid (who interestingly, is neither stretchy nor married). Played by Matt Gray Gubler, he is a socially inept genius who has, as shocking as it may seem, more Ph.D's than Sheldon Cooper.
Dr. Cooper was far from amused.
As far as MattGG is concerned, this week I'm giving him the title "Perfect Guy".
The following is a list of reasons why:
#0. Because currently am three episodes into The Tudors Season 3 and Charles Brandon is gaining more pieces of clothing instead of losing. As a result, have had creepy daydream about Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Thus it is of utmost importance that I divert my attention towards less creepy eyed/feminine individuals.
#1. He (matt) is just as crazy as I am! check out his official website: http://matthewgraygubler.com/ Usually I don't approve of social networking celebrities - especially those who have "official" web pages. IMHO, most (not all) celebs who do have such sites are no-talent-douchebags who create webpages as shrines to themselves and usually write in third person. Believe me, when the "loading page" page appeared, I was in shock. And awe. And love. And sleep (but that's another story).
#2. His artwork is *amaaaaazing* It reminds me of Quentin Blake's artworks. And those remind me of happier days. (Roald Dahl...sigh...)
#3. He has Curly Brown hair. (And sometimes sports the Crispin Glover 'do.) That's actually my "type". (Jack DeSena, Nick Drake, Josh Groban, Jonathan Groff, Rafa Nadal, Henners - you do the math)
An ideal Christmas Present (also makes good Past and Future)

#4. His voice. He falls into the TaurMe's List O' Awesome Guy Features Part III: The Voice TYPE II - he has that throaty-squeaky quality to his voice that I just adore. (once again, do ze maaath - Michael Douglas, Michael J. Fox, Owen Wilson, Wes Anderson)
#5. He is an amazing artist, photographer, puppeteer, toymaker(?), actor, director. Maybe a poet and a writer. He sounds wonderful. And a little like Coraline's Other Mother. But mostly wonderful.
#6. On his site I noticed the following key words: the Addams Family. Now that I've mentioned it, many of his sketches can in fact be passed off as Addams relatives. But then again, these days I see the Addams references every where.
The Crispin Glover Johnny Depp Effect
#7. Those cushiony toy thingies he made out of rags are just plain adorable. I. Want. All.
#8. He read "Annabelle Lee" By Edgar Allen Poe on his website. Ladies and Gentleman, this is TRUE (edging towards creepy stalker-ism) LOVE
#9. He has a v.good sense of humour. Eg:
- Last night I slept like a rock that was slipped a roofie.
- I never met a tree I didn't like.
#10. This is the big one, people. Heck, its so big, I can barely type it. Let me quote his Wiki page:
After he began modeling, Gubler had an internship for Wes Anderson, who encouraged him to audition for a part in his movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Gubler did, and landed the role of Nico (a.k.a Intern #1).
HE PLAYED THE LANKY NOODLE-HAIRED INTERN WHO DIDN'T LEAVE THE BELAFONTE.
HE DID INTERNSHIP WITH WESLEY WALES ANDERSON. HE WORKED WITH WES, OWEN, WILLEM DAFOE, ANJELICA, BILL MURRAY, JEFF GOLDBLUM AND OTHERS.

Yet another reason why I *love* him:

I got nothing else to add.
