The TV Catch Up - Part 1

Wow...I never had a part 2 for The Emmys...oh well.

So I've been slack with my tv blogging of late. But 6 weeks travelling in the US will do that.

So firstly, I better comment on the TV in the US. -Its awesome!
It was so awesome to watch Grey's, Private Practice, Glee, and others in real time. No download delay, no waiting for time...no spoilers. Watching SNL ACTUALLY LIVE might have been the best part of all though. I mean...how much better can you get than knowing that its happening right that minute/second etc?!
AWESOME!

Oh, they also have awesome ads in the US....my fave might be the one with Allison Janney....but I'm totally biased :P


So I have a lot to talk about with Private Practice, so I might save that one for a whole post of its own...But I can comment on the new shows I watched in the US, as well as my thoughts on the current seasons of my other shows.
-Firstly, I enjoyed Raising Hope. I'd like to download the rest of that if I have the time and the space.
-Better With You is ok, but not that great...
-Running Wilde is terrible....as much as I wanted to like it. It definately deserves to be canned.

-This season of Grey's got off to a pretty depressing start...everyone has been dealing with the aftermath of the shootings in the season finale....and 9 eps in, its still kinda going, but at least its getting somewhere. -I also must admit that I don't hate April anymore...thankfully they have made her likeable this season. I dunno what's going on with Christina...she's being funny since she's not being a doctor anymore, but they better get her back in surgery soon! And the whole Arizona/Callie thing is gonna drive me crazy!...hopefully like Charlotte and Cooper, they will get their acts together eventually!

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about season 2 of Glee. It doesn't have the same focus or magic that the first 13 eps had. But it is definately more focused than the last 9 of S1. I'm so glad they are letting Brittany sing, and that they are sharing it around more now. However, I wish Emma and Quinn wouldn't keep disappearing! And I really don't care about that Sam guy at all!
-I can't believe I'm saying it, but I actually really really loved the Gwyneth Paltrow ep! It was just a lot of fun, while still heading towards sectionals!


I was really worried about this season of Brothers and Sisters, after losing Rob Lowe, and then a few eps in, losing Rebecca...but they have really come back strong...especially after last years disasterous mess of a plot!

This season of Parenthood has been interesting. That was the first show to come back in the US, so we enjoyed 4 weeks of watching that! I have issues with Sarah working with Adam...and I really don't like Billy Baldwin....but other than that the storylines have been ok. Joel is getting a lot more screen time....however Julia seems to be vanishing...

We only got to watch 2 weeks of Community, so I don't know how this season is going...

Modern Family is just as good as ever if you ask me. Loving the new eps!

I'm sure I've left some things out....but I'll try to do another post tomorrow, or Thursday.
