Keeping Score

Last year I would have said my fave shows were Private Practice and Parenthood, closing followed by Grey's Anatomy.
This year, I still LOVE Parenthood, and Grey's, but Private Practice has dropped way down the quality scale, and become really boring. I am not excited for it like I used to be...because they made my fave characters - Charlotte, Amelia, Violet and Cooper boring. Addison is getting more interesting again, except for the fact that she keeps going back to Sam!

So obviously my expectations for the crossover with Grey's were pretty low. I really enjoyed the Grey's half. With the exception of all the Christina and Owen stuff. I love Derek and Amelia together. I also liked Lexie getting involved! The PPP half was ok. The Charlotte and Mason parts were interesting. I did like the bit at the end with char and coop, but I was sure she was going to say they should have a kid of their own! Also I felt bad that the whole time I could not decide whether I wanted Erica to live or not...if she lived we are stuck with her and if she died Char and Coop got stuck with. Mason all the time. But I guess it all worked out for the best.
I like that Sam has something else going on....but I was dying for him to speak to Naomi. I miss her!!!

In other TV news, I loved loved loved SNL this week! Maya hosted and it was hilarious! I loved that Amy Poehler came back to do Bronx beat and update. I loved the sketch with Kristen and Maya were they almost lost it, and poor Bill did. Points to Vanessa for keeping it together! Golden ep, which I will probably watch a few times over!


It's been a good tv week, but here's where I'm at with my shows.

Top Rated, Can't Live Without Them:
Parenthood - what is not to love?!
Grey's Anatomy - so glad this show bounced back. They found the funny again.
Parks and Recreation - I love this season. The stuff with Leslie and Ben is delightful!
Saturday Night Live - maybe it's not as good as previous seasons, but when it's good it's on fire!
Private Practice - close ti dropping out of thus category, sadly this show used to have me waiting to watch it, now I'm less excited for it.


Shows That I love, but could still live if they were cancelled:
Pan Am - it may not be the absolute greatest show in the world...but I love it!
The Good Wife - I love how relevant the topics are for the cases from this show. I also love the guest stars.
Cougar Town - Its back and it's awesome!
Unforgettable- never thought I'd care much about this show, but I must be in need of a crime show fix, cause I love it!
Modern Family - this show is still funny, been good lately, after a big of a slump last year.
Suburgatory - still loving this show. One of my faves of the new shows.

Shows That I just Like:
Once Upon a Time - love the fairy tales, but it if we're to go I'd be fine.
Ringer - its pretty darn good, but I don't LOVE it.
Glee - once upon a time it was so addictive and awesome, the songs were great, and so was the story. But now I'm caring less and less....until something small pulls me back in.
Ringer - really got into it at the beginning, but now I'm getting bored.
Revenge - even better than ringer to start with, and now less interesting.
30 Rock - every now and then I love an ep, but mostly I just love Liz.
Up All Night - its funny and cute and I like it, but dunno if it has lasting power.
The Finder - could really take it or leave it.

That's my TV...finales will be coming up soon, so things should get interesting.
Smash is not on the list, having just started, but it's looking great so far!
