Slightly Quieter Times

So the last 2 weeks there hasn't been a lot on tv, with Thanksgiving shaking up programming, and things wrapping up for the holidays.
There is some good news, Bones is back and its awesome! The Booth and Brennan baby thing was a little weird to get used to at first, but that's fine now.

Rizzoli and Isles came back for the rest of the 2nd season, and so far it rocks! -Not that it wouldn't...I don't think there are too many BAD eps of that show. Sasha and Angie are too funny.

Katie Finneran and Jaime Pressley's show sadly is not great...its verging on not even good....I think the main problems are, A) they don't know what kind of audience they are aiming for... B) the writing needs work, C) I don't know how likeable the characters are....it doesn't feel like we really know them, which might make the two leads more accessible. -I admit there have been a few things that had me cracking up....and no I don't just mean Katie's expressions and voices....
Maybe there is still hope, there have only been 2 eps...who knows. But I'll keep watching as long as it is going...cause I'm loyal.

Still loving Suburgatory. But I swear they better handle this whole Dallas/George thing properly....it seems like they are really going to push for them to become a couple...but Dallas is married, so the writers are gonna have to do something before they can try to make them a couple....cause you can't just make George a homewreaker.
....Also, where's Ana?! I thought she was becoming a regular....and yet she's hardly been in the last few eps.

Up All Night is still good. Seems to be sharing the comedy -which is great. And those little girls that play Amy are adorable!

Parks and Rec just keeps making me happier and giddy like a school girl with all the Ben and Leslie stuff...its SO heartwarming! Still bummed about a severe lack of Ann...an entire Ann centric ep anyone?!
Community is still so so....but I'm bummed about it getting cut short this season. -not nice NBC!

Glee went from okay, to pretty good this week. I gotta say I really enjoy Sectionals without Rachel....allowed the others to shine...especially Quinn and Tina who NEVER get to sing anymore. -However I HATED their outfits. I loved the song at the end - very season 1, with lots of people getting a part. And yay...Quinn grew up....finally....but it was very sudden.  And of course New Directions was going to win, and of course the girls were going to come back. -I could have done without Sam coming back. Didn't work for me...also nobody seemed to care that he didn't actually attend the school anymore?! Does this competition even have rules?! Oh well. Looking forward to a proper Rachel solo in the not too far off future hopefully.

Once Upon is still going strong. And Pan Am is still awesome...yay for Dean and Collette!!!! - But I have a feeling that show might not be long for this world....boo. Revenge is not as good anymore, but I'm not giving up on it just yet.
I finally got caught up on Unforgettable. I'm really enjoying it, unfortunately its the last show on my list, cause I don't need to watch it right away - but I still enjoy it when I can find the time.
Ringer is starting to do my head in....but its still good.

Maybe over the break I'll get around to catching up on some of the other shows. But I'll probably just watch more old SNL and hopefully all the dvds I've bought lately, that are still sitting there unwatched!
