Never seen Miss Fisher, but I do like murders. I mean, the fake ones of course.

I gave my friend my Comcast password so he can use my account too.  When he logs in he can see everything I have on my DVR.  He commented recently that it is all very dark & maybe he should be worried about me.  Have you watched Stalker?  It is on after Criminal Minds & I think it is very good.

[Chocolate Lover]

I've seen Stalker, not sure how I feel about it yet, but I keep watching it. I'm a bit annoyed that just about everyone is a freaking stalker though. You'd think that'd be right up my alley, wouldn't you?

Your friend would be seriously worried about me and my TV choices. It's all murders and mayhem. Except for Downton Abbey. Don't think they've deliberately killed anyone yet.

I have also been watching Stalker. It is just okay with me not a fav. I can't seem to gel with the characters. Dylan McDermott's character kind of gave me pause since they portrayed him as a stalker himself at the beginning. I did read recently that it will probably not be renewed for next season due to low ratings.

That's what I mean, everyone's a stalker. The boss lady stalked a stalker and now that stalker is stalking her. I mean, really? I won't be sad if it doesn't return, like you, it's ok....

Ah, that explains it. CBS Sundays are dead to me. I lost interest in the Good Wife and The Mentalist (which has moved I know) was over when Red John died. I'll have to look for it again. 

I haven't even had anything but rabbit ears until I moved. Still wouldn't have it (satellite) if it wasn't part of the rent package.  I do love my Netflix though. I use commercials for pee breaks and mini chore breaks. 

That's just it every show they stick in that time slot dies a slow death, old and new. That is the slot they use to get rid of shows they don't want anymore and have to come up with a reason to get rid of it.

Yep. I hope maybe it moves back when Stalker dies, but they'll probably try to coattail something else behind CM. Gotta bring the big audience in from a popular show.

Nope that is most likely not going to happen. Like I said they now have an excuse to cancel it. I believe they are putting the new CSI:Cyber in Stalker's place starting in March.

I watch Stalker.  I don't have all the names down but the female detective that is being stalked has got the part down.  It's from her past.

I wasn't sure I could watch it because of the content being training for stalkers.  I was hoping for more steps someone could take if they were being stalked.  With a PI it's more provable.

[kent]

I look at it as a sort of training film and it helps me stay ahead of......

[Happy prose]

I love Stalker! I haven't watched this week's yet, so no spoilers. The last episode I saw, the young stalker boy went to the mental hospital to visit the original stalker. I can't wait to see. Probably tomorrow night.

[Icelandic Woman]

What I have really been enjoying are the remakes of popular songs they play at the end of each episode. Very well done!

 My comment at the end of every show is "which song are they going to screw up now?"   I mean, even the cheery "Happy Together" gets to be a creepy stalker song.

Wow it is really interesting how people interpret things differently. It never once occurred to me that they sounded stalkerish. I just thought they were unique interesting takes on old songs.

Really pay attention to the lyrics tomorrow night, they change the music and make the lyrics extra creepy with that change. I can't recall which 80s songs they'd turned upside down on me, but they've done mostly 80s until last week.

Stalker seems very dark.
I can only watch a certain amount of dark shows ....

I do pay really good attention to the lyrics because I am usually trying to figure out what song it is. It has taken me a little while with a couple of them because they are so different. But I still don't get the creepy vibe like you do.

This was very creepy last week with the slow music in a minor key


Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love
And hold her tight, so happy together

[Chocolate Lover]

I'm not the only one who thought it was creepy (and intentional)

It had a totally stalkerish vibe!

Most of the shows I watch are dark.  I'm kinda twisted like that.

Yes and he also liked them like I do.
I was trying to find a complete list of songs to date but couldn't find one, just bits and pieces.

Depends on how much I liked the original  

I couldn't find one either, and some I did find mentioned that I'd already forgotten were already Stalker material (like Every Breath You Take) but I didn't see Happy Together that way. Don't ruin good songs for me, is that too much to ask?

[Icelandic Woman]

Here is a list I found up to episode 9.

Ep.1 Creep, Radiohead, performed by Michelle Branch


Ep.2 Be My Baby, The Ronettes, performed by SnowHill


Ep.3 Don't You Forget About Me, Simple Minds, perf.by Leelou


Ep.4 Every Breath You Take, Police, perf.by Denmark and Winter


Ep.5 One Way or Another, Blondie, perf. by Until the ribbon breaks


Ep.6 Love is a Battlefield, Pat Benatar, perf.by Wrongchilde feat. White Sea


Ep.7 I Want You to Want Me, Cheap Trick, perf. by Gary Jules


Ep.8 Hungry Like the Wolf, Duran Duran, perf. by Snow Hill


Ep.9 Constant Craving, k.d.lang, perf. by Charlotte Martin

I remember most of them, and liked most in their original form. Some were interesting remakes, some I could've done without hearing.

Did you watch last night? Another interesting remake. LOL
I knew who the stalker was as soon as I saw her appear.

I did, and I already forgot which song it was.  Must not have been such a favorite huh? 

I pegged her too, once I started paying attention. I was only halfway doing it for a bit.

Wasn't it Who's Going To Drive You Home?

I haven't watched any of last nights shows.  They are all waiting for me on my DVR for this evening.

It was! That was already a depressing song

Maybe when I have some time I will get the complete list and post the videos of the remakes in case anyone wants to listen to the complete version.
