Television meme day 02 (okay I'm a little late, so?)

[stonebender]

This television meme was snagged from autographedcat by way of serenejournal. The idea is to answer one question a day from the list below. Today's is:

Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching.

This one is difficult for me to answer. I almost never wish people would watch any television show. I am hopelessly addicted to the glass teat, but I don't think I should spread my sickness to others. :-) I guess what I can do is mention a couple of shows that I have not heard people talking about, but I have found surprisingly entertaining. I have plenty of shows that lots of people are watching and there are a few shows I watch I wouldn't admit to watching easily. Here are a couple I don't think people are watching that may be worth killing an hour of your day if you're really desperate. I can pear it down to two shows, the first is Human Target.

I can be pretty idiosyncratic about why I like a show. Sometimes it's an idea. Sometimes I like how the show is realized. Sometimes I just like a character. Human Target manages to tell stories in an interesting way. They manage not to do anything that seems outright stupid to me and it has an actor/character I really like.

Jackie Earle Haley plays Guerrero on the Fox television show Human Target. He's an ex-assassin formerly employed by the same guy the main character, Christopher Chase used to work for. Now he's one of Chase's team that now protect's folk who are being threatened. I've enjoyed Haley's work way back when he played Moocher in Breaking Away and he really is worth watching on the show.

As your mind candy, I'm really enjoying Castle too.

I don't think I've even heard of Human Target. And I tried to watch Castle but couldn't make it past the first episode. Does it get really good?

If you didn't like the first one I doubt you'd like it. I think this is an example of a type of humor that I seem to like that drives you up a wall.
