The weekend is where I catch up on all those shows that air on a Thursday night in the US.
Starting with Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, which I watched last night....
Grey's was a whole ep set within an actual hour...it was interesting. Having it set so the whole ep was following Meredith around (except for a few parts with Teddy and her guys...) was different. But the stories sorta made me want to pull my hair out for realisticness....but anyways, I don't really expect that from Grey's.
Don't care about Bailey and her nurse-man. Interesting things growing between Lexie and Avery, and Alex and blondie....not really caring about those either. I'm glad that they are still talking about Mer and Der having their baby, but did it really have to be so hard for them? - Also Meredith's telling Christina not to accept the Godmother role for Callie's baby...when did Christina and kids become something you'd use in the same sentence?! I did like perky Meredith...she's just silly. The future ficticious baby makes for really cute scenes...I can't believe after all these years that no one locks the on call room door, or knocks before entering it! crazy people!
I was kinda expecting more people to die and for her be kinda responsible for it....but it worked out awfully well. Only 1 guy died. Yay. But her talking to that guy's kid on the phone was sad.
Also definite potential for the Adele story...it will be interesting to see where that goes.
Private Practice has stolen the dark and twisty title from Grey's. Poor Addison...herefor know as Addizombie (thanks to Ness for coming up with that!). It made sense for Addison to be keeping her mother's cause of death a secret...from other people...I understand that. It was really creepy how stepford she became. The Addizombie was dark and twisty, and really weird - but in a good way I guess. The whole situation was really strange, a PPP fieldtrip....I understand Naomi, Sam and Amelia coming and being part of everything - they knew Bizzy...I can understand that Charlotte, Cooper and Pete (who I don't think was that keen anyways...) wanted to be there for the Addizombie. But it was weird, and not just because these people don't belong in wintry climates in winter! It was kinda funny to see them stuck in the Montgomery mansion, under Archer's orders...If I was them I'd be running for the emotional warmth of a hotel too!
Poor Pete was pretty pointless in the whole thing...probably didn't NEED to be there, and said hardly anything all ep...although it was totally worth it just to hear him call Amelia "ridiculous".
Having Violet back was really not as fun as it should have been...she was suddenly back with not a single ref to when she got back, and more than a few days could have passed since the last ep. But most annoyingly, was that it was all Violet and Sheldon alone in LA, with a just about equally depressing story.
I'm hoping that things start to get lighter in rest of the season. I want some fun back for my OWGers.
---Charlotte King Engagement Ring Watch has had a development- she had her ring back in this ep....which was filmed this year...so I'm guessing....they just forgot about it in those last few eps they filmed last year? Odd....
Today I watched Community, Parks and Recreation, and also last weeks ep of Harry's Law.
Community was kinda lame...the whole mock mockumentary was a weird look for the show. The story of Pearce being in hospital and messing with everyone by bequeathing things to them was strange and annoying. I tend to almost always hate Pearce stories. My fave part was Britta and Jeff acting out how reuniting with Jeff's father would go.
P-Rex was annoying this week. The problem with that show is sometimes its a great ep, and then I find anything after that really lacking. This week involved April making Andy do her 'chores' which was sweet and entertaining. The whole Anne and Chris thing is annoying. Also Leslie and Ben were not interesting me at all this week. I makes the whole show a lot less fun, when even Amy Poehler's character is not getting my interest. Hopefully since the last few eps have not been of great substance...that hopefully one is bound to pop up soon.
Harry's Law is slowly pulling me in. It's not the best show on tv, but David E Kelley has managed to create a show that matches up to his old standards. I don't really LOVE any of the characters, but they're all growing on me. I'm all caught up now which is nice. I'll stick with it...its not like I'm wishing I was doing other stuff while I'm watching it, so that's a good sign.
In other news...quite a few of my people/shows are nominated for a Prism award, which is an award for media which deals with substance abuse and mental health issues. Tough competition....but really the whole of Parenthood against a few eps of other things....not fair.
