So because my family’s internet plan sucks (meaning we only have 25gb to use between 5 fairly heavy media users, and we have already used over 30% in a week), I found myself waiting a day later to download all my TV this week. I also had to make a choice to leave some things till much later, including The Good Wife. So instead of Thursday, I download Mr Sunshine, and Modern Family on Friday, intending to watch them Friday night. But I was busy watching other things and ended up leaving them till Saturday night, which became ‘TV Night’. Since I wasn’t meeting up with Ness this weekend, I couldn’t wait for Grey’s and the PPP, so I downloaded them for myself. –I must say I found it amusing that I was downloading Private Practice for the first time near the end of season 4….but anyways….
The Footy was on in my house, so in order to avoid the crazy, I was settling in for the night with my 4 tv shows. I started Mr Sunshine…which I later realized I should have watched Modern Family first (technically it airs first), but since I’m used to watching Mr Sunshine earlier in the week, I started with that one. But about 6 minutes in I got interrupted by someone playing guitar really loudly outside my door - so I did other things till he was finished.
I kinda hate to admit it, but Mr Sunshine seems to be getting a little better each week. I actually found myself not HATING Alice this week, and hating Alonso a little less too. I loved Crystal’s tweeting, but it made me wish Allison would tweet more….or at all. It was fun to see Matthew Perry playing tennis – this show really is half just about using the many talents of Matt Perry and Allison Janney that don’t get shown off too often. Overall it was a pretty good ep. Poor Roman, but it was so sweet when he got to spend time with his mum. –Also, I don’t even hate the “Mr Sunshine…yay” thing anymore. It keeps getting stuck in my head!
Followed that up with the hilarious Modern Family. Oh how I have MISSED Modern Family! YAY Nathan Lane was back! I love Nathan Lane, and the gay guys were so funny, and I did love Jay mixing with them.
Didn’t get too fussed over Luke’s UP story with the old man next door, but it was nice for him to have his own storyline! It was much better than Haley’s babysitting story.
I’d really love to go back and watch the whole of Modern Family from the beginning again, I’ll have to buy it on dvd at some point.
Then it was on to Grey’s Anatomy…OMG….I just kept yelling at Callie to put on her seat belt because I knew what was coming, and was watching with my eyes half covered! Next week’s musical ep is gonna be very interesting and probably pretty sad! Not that I believe they are getting rid of Callie, but I don't expect it to be easy to watch anyways.
Prior to all this however, the ep was quite fun. One of my fave things was the gang decorating the onesies. Meredith’s big squiggly blob thing was great. “Are you still blind?!”. I loved Alex’s scrubs one, and Cristina’s heart. Very cute, and fun scene. The whole Stark and April thing grosses me out big time! Ick!
I wish I cared more about the Adele thing…I mean, I do care…but not that much really. I like that the Lexie/Avery thing is not too in your face – other than their making out…but I can deal. I don’t love ‘em, don’t hate them at all. I’m good.
It was a little weird not watching Private Practice with Ness, having done so for the last 4 eps or so. I kept thinking of things out loud – although I find I tend to do that anyways.
I found a few of the stories to be kinda similar to old storylines…like Addison thinking she was pregnant…made me think of Charlotte in season 2. The storyline with the wrestling kid – made me think of that runner girl in season 1. All different in some way, but still not overly new stories.
It took me a little while to notice that Naomi wasn’t there in the big group scene…cause I was too focused on the very complicated cup on tea Charlotte was making in the background. (cutting lemons and all....) But I do love group scenes, group kitchen scenes tend to be mandatory in each ep these days, I’m trying to remember an ep that didn’t have one recently.
Anyways I was just thinking about Naomi, (and how Audra said she wasn’t going to not not be in anymore eps, and now she was MIA) when Amelia popped up and I realized I had forgotten all about her, and felt bad. I’ll blame it on the fact that I’ve been watching older PPP before she was there. But I’m so glad I can count on her to make me laugh. She almost always comes through! I loved the “Auntie Amelia”, she sounded almost British.
Speaking of which, my biggest peeve with this ep was Alex Kingston’s (Dr Elizabeth Corday of ER) American accent…what was THAT about?! A therapist couldn’t be British? I’m not a big fan of fake accents…just imagine how weird it would be if KaDee didn’t get to use her real accent! I just don’t really understand how the accent HAD to be American, but it weirded me out anyways.
I like parties though. I liked Violet’s dress. I dunno about Sheldon dating the evil reviewer lady Marlo Tompkins (or Marlo Thomas as I heard every time!). He seriously needs to date someone NOT related to the practice, maybe she’s as far away as he can get! Also…SO over the Addison baby drama. Sam doesn’t want a kid, and is still too hung up on Naomi to be in a real relationship with Addy. I’m not saying I don’t want Addison to get her kid, but maybe she should just adopt one or something…maybe if she was in a proper relationship, or something…I dunno.
Looking forward to next week’s ep, directed by Mr Paul Adelstein himself! I hope we see some signs of wedding plans soon though….only 2 more eps to go, you think they might bring it up in some way. I’d like it to be ‘real’, organized…a little less spontaneous than the other 2 weddings this season. –Its become a season of weddings.
I'll catch up on the rest of the Thursday night (US) tv this week, and the other shows I'll get off Ness when I see her. Its not that I'm in a huge hurry to watch them, but its driving me crazy that I have to limit myself because everyone else is using more. Expect a post on this in my other blog at some point!
