Totally Flipped Around

In this past week I've totally changed my TV viewing habits. Since I've finished with Uni, I've had a lot more time to watch things. I've watched all the Heroes commentaries minus the last one, and they have all been pretty good! Greg Grunberg does quite a few of them and they totally rock! He always is good for a laugh. lol
I've watched 8 eps of the new season. It's very interesting and getting a little exciting. But I decided to hold off on downloading this weeks ep, so that I could catch up on my other shows. I've downloaded the next 3 ER eps. And I am totally loving ER this year. They seem to be going old school - bringing back characters (and actors) that haven't been around for a while, such as Sam Anderson, Amy Aquino and the guy that plays the chief or whatever....
They also have been mentioning a few of the old characters from the early days and referencing things they used to do.
However, Abby seems to be the only character with much development this year. Everyone else has things going on...but they don't get too much into them. Now Abby is my fave, and has been since the oldies left, but I really wish they would get another female doc for the ER. Since Kerry left, it seems to be there aren't many docs around anymore, and other than Abby, they're all guys.
They also seem to be using Chuni as a character a lot more this season..she's in almost every ep and has decent interaction with the rest of them. Unforunately Haleh and Lily seem to be vanishing into the background...if they even make it into an ep.

I've got one more ep to get before I have my 4 for my disc for Ness. I'm working on getting the Las Vegas eps at the moment. I have ep 6, but only half of ep 5. We have been really good with our net usage this month, so we haven't even used up all our usage yet, close but not quite. There is only 3 days left anyways. So that's why I've been getting a lot of eps this week.

Finally!

It's been a while since I posted anything related to TV, that's because I've mostly been watching Heroes only. The downloads are currently having to wait till the end of the month, because my family is going through our 12gig limit so quickly. So I have cut down to just Heroes season 2.

So far it's pretty good. Kristin Bell showed up with her new character. Although I'm not sure if I like her yet...she seems a little annoying.
I've also been watching the season 1 dvds. I'm up to ep 19 or something. But this dvd set totally wins the prize for best commentaries. Almost every ep has one! I guess you can afford to do that with such a big cast. I haven't listened to any of them yet, but I plan to try and do one later today.

ER is also going pretty well this season. It was a little slow getting started, but I think it's going to go big again. I now it's been 14 years, but the cast has changed so much it's practically a new show. Sometimes the stories are really lacking, when I know they can do much much better. I also think they are missing someone. They need a new character.

I also got the first 4 eps of Private Practice, Grey's and Brothers and Sisters from Ness.
I've only watch the first 3 of PP and Grey's, and only 1 of Brothers and Sisters. I really like PP, I love the cast. Even Audra McDonald is rubbing off on me. Though I still miss Merrin. :(
I totally agree with Ness' comment about it needing opening credits, with a song. I think something Ally McBeal-ish would work. It needs something kicky. But other than that I like the show. They also all have dark hair..'cept for Addison of course. I dislike KaDee Strickland's character...she bugs me. lol

Grey's is good as always. Having the gang as bosses is kinda funny. I don't like Lexie that much...but she might grow on me. I think it's possible that Mark has become a bit of a filler floater person. He doesn't do much. Or maybe that's just me.
Edward Herrman as the intern totally weirds me out...he kinda looks like Santa. lol.

I can't say much about B & S yet. The first ep was pretty good. So I'll see how it goes.
