| Trying not to obsess |
I'm trying very hard not to obsess about the writer's strike going on and how it will affect my favorite shows. See, it's all about me and my pleasure, right?
I came across this site today that lists just about any show you can think of and either how many episodes they've produced or how many episodes there are left, or both.
I am particularly sad that Grey's only has 4 original episodes left and that there will be no more How I Met Your Mother after November. Production of The Office has shut down and this coming week just may be it for the season. Of course at this point, it doesn't much matter about Lost since what episodes they do have done, won't be airing until well after the first of the year. There are several other shows that I love which only have 3 to 6 episodes remaining.
Of course, and you should know this, the ONE show I am the most upset about ceasing production is Friday Night Lights. What the heck will I do without my weekly dose of Coach Taylor and his family, creepy and sweaty Buddy Garrity, Lyra (also known as Landry and Tyra), or the train wreck that is Tim Riggins and his trusty side-kick, Jason Street?? (which, by the way, WHEN did Tim start calling Jason, "Six?" Last season, I didn't hear that even once. Whatever.)
I guess once the new episodes stop, I'll be able to get caught up with what I've got on the DVR. :)Labels: friday night lights, nablopomo07, tv, writer's strike |

| Do NOT make me like you, Dr. Karev! |
Who watched Grey's this week?? If you didn't, stop reading now as I may give away important episode info.
Ever since the first episode of Grey's, Dr. Karev has been a character that I love to hate. I warm to him from time to time, but for the most part, he is pretty much a jerk. (Like in last week's episode, well, I think it was last week, when he gave away George's "secret." Grrr...He was so smug about it.)
But, seriously, how could you NOT melt when Dr. Karev whipped that curtain open and saw "Ava?" The look on his face was something to rival the way McDreamy looks at Meredith. I think I hit rewind at least 3 times last night to replay that scene. *sigh*
Let's see, in other Grey's news...Meredith, please, I beg of you, do something with your stringy hair! I can't take it anymore!
I loved how Callie and Christina got the giggles during surgery. Well, until poor old-guy intern passed out, anyway.
Ok, I am struggling with the Izzy/George storyline. It's no secret that I love me some George. But, I just hate how Izzy lost the love of her life in Denny and then was in love with George practically the next day. Then George who pined for Meredith suddenly is in love with Izzy, too, even after marrying Callie. Not buying it. BUT...I was completely on Izzy's side when she and Christina had words. When Meredith sleeps with another man's husband, no big deal. When Izzy sleeps with George, they all treat her like she murdered their dogs. Anyway, I love George and I love Izzy. Together? Mmmm..not so much. Plus? Izzy's head is like...twice the size of George's. What is it with George and the Amazon Grey's women? They just don't go together.
Um, could they REALLY pull together a pro-bono surgery to build ears for that kid...IN ONE DAY?! I know..it's TV and I love it, but sometimes...
One more thing, I do like that McDreamy and McSteamy are slowing rebuilding their friendship. They are funny together.
Ok, thus ends my rambling Grey's thoughts.Labels: grey's anatomy, tv |

| In which I talk about TV AGAIN |
I'm doing this because Snarkwife did it and, well, I want to be her when I grow up. I say that in a non-stalker and non-weird way. I promise. I've tweaked it a bit to fit my own pleasure.
Shows I Love and Want to Marry and have Little Dillon Panther Babies With
Friday Night Lights (DUH!)
Shows I Love
Lost (come back soon!!)
Grey's Anatomy (you can't make me like Lexi)
How I Met Your Mother (one word: Barney)
The Office (Jim. Dwight. Michael. etc. They're ALL funny!)
Survivor (what is this...season 25 or something? I STILL love it.)
The Amazing Race (when's the next one?)
Pushing Daisies
Chuck
Desperate Housewives
Big Love
ER (I still love you, even if nobody else does)
Shows I Like That Could Be On the "Love" List if They Weren't so damn inconsistant

CSI (Vegas and NY. Love you, Gary!)
Brothers & Sisters (trying to catch up on this one)
Law & Order SVU

Some would say, ER, but I still love it.
New shows that I really like
Chuck
Pushing Daisies
New shows that I kind of like but am still "trying out"
Journeyman (this could possibly move up to a "new show I really like")(Plus, does the lead guy remind anyone else of Anthony Michael Hall from The Dead Zone??)
New shows that I tried but didn't like or lost interest in
Kid Nation (Yes, I liked it a lot at first, I admit, but it didn't hold my interest)
K-ville (my DVR moved on to bigger and better things. Sorry Cole Hauser. I still think you are HOT, though.)
Bionic Woman
Shows I never watched despite the hype
24
Entourage

New shows I liked but have already been cancelled
None that I know of (don't they usually start taking the axe to shows by now?)
Now..how about you other tv-aholics??Labels: tv |

| Stuff I watched this week |
As I sit here watching the Colts on their way to a win (YAY!) I thought I should do my weekly TV post.
I must say, if you didn't watch Pushing Daisies, you really missed out. It is definitely one of the best new shows in a long time. For a good review of the show, visit my friend, Scooter. I actually agree with his assessment and that is saying something because we don't always see eye to eye on matters of TV and music.
If you didn't already know, I love me some Friday Night Lights. Intense love. Passionate love. I mention it often enough, so if you ever come around, you know this. I've been worried that the 2nd season would not live up to first season standards. If the season opener is any indication, I was wrong to worry. It is the FNL I love.
The scene at the pool was pretty funny with the slow-mo walk-in of Tyra eating a popsicle with Landry ogling and lusting over her and then the next person we see walk in is the very pregnant Mrs Coach Taylor. I had totally missed all these characters since last season.
Landry and his Landry-isms are just a hoot. However, as Scoot said in his review, the unfortunate events of Landry and Tyra's visit to the grocery store will forever change Landry and I don't think he'll be the Landry we know and love. (What will happen to Crucifictorious??)
While I LOVE that the new coach who took Coach Hottie Taylor's place, kicked creepy Buddy Garrity out of practice, I am not going to like this coach. Neither are the townspeople. Or the players. Or Jason Street. Eric Taylor, please come back! Speaking of the hotness that is Coach Taylor, I hate that he works out of town, but I was happy that the episode was quite Taylor-ful. I always like the Coach and daughter interactions.
I'll stop now, because if you don't watch, well, you have no idea what the H I'm talking about. Suffice it to say, I highly recommend watching the first season which is out on DVD and then catch up with this season. You'll be glad you did.
Survivor...all I can say is they were stupid to get rid of Leslie over Courtney.
I haven't watched Grey's yet, so don't tell me.
My girl, Jes, "won" Rock Of Love! Woo hoo! Not that I think Brett Michaels is a prize or anything.
And, that is about all I feel like talking about. Oh, watch Chuck and Journeyman. They're pretty good, too. And I can't wait for The Office this week!
The end.Labels: chuck, friday night lights, pushing daisies, rock of love, survivor, tv |

| Hip-Hop HANG me! |
See that yellow thing? From the DEVIL! No, seriously, his name is Hip-Hop Harry and he is the devil incarnate! Watch it just once and tell me he's not. Watch it just once and tell me that any one of these things doesn't grind on your last nerve and also indicate that the end is near!
- His "rapping".
- His voice.
- His "dancing."
- His flappy hands. (you have to see it to know what that means.)
- The kids on the show who think they can rap and dance.
- The god awful music on the show.
- The signature ending song called, "I Love To Learn."
Guess whose kids LOVE the show? Guess whose son goes around saying "yo, yo, yo?" In case you want to join in the satanic ritual that is Hip-Hop Harry, check your local listings. It's on TLC every morning. In the meantime, where is Barney when you need him??Labels: hip hop harry, tv |
