A TV-Palooza

So this week I've powered through a few shows, with less nights out and less on tv making it possible to fit more into my tv week.

Parenthood was good this week -as usual. I liked that it was mostly all about the adults, its refreshing. But I'm not liking the Seth storyline - mostly cause I am sure it will be the end of Jason Ritter's character - Mark and Sarah are doomed! Drew and his girlfriend are adorable, and yay for Drew getting his own storyline...finally making up for the lack of Drew in seasons 1 and 2! BIG yay for Joel standing up for Sarah to Zeke. Who knew he had it in him!!!!
I found the Cee Lo thing annoying. But it worked for the storyline I guess.

Finally got around to watching last weekend's SNL. Overall it sucked, it wasn't that Anna Faris was a bad host, but the sketches were kinda boring. The only one I really liked was the one with the girls singing!

I got around to the second ep of Revenge earlier this week, and had watched 3, 4 and 5 by Friday night! I'm hooked! Its a great show, and I'm glad Emily VanCamp got her own show, they never did enough with her in Brothers & Sisters in the end. Madeleine Stowe is both awesome and scary as Victoria...who knows what she's got going on. -I'll have to thank Vicky for telling me it was good, and getting me interested to watch it in the first place, as by the preview it looked terrible....go figure!

I'm worried about Downton Abbey. It's becoming way too soapy for my liking. But I'll keep watching for now. Making Matthew unable to walk could get really boring after a little while.

This week's Modern Family wasn't bad, maybe it was the no Lily that made it better.
Suburgatory was weird this week. I love when they have lots of Ana Gasteyer, but the scene where she kept saying 'Wicked' messed with my head - Ana being one of Broadway's Elphie's.
Up All Night's flashback ep to Amy's birth was good. But I hope they don't do stuff like that too much cause it might get old, and mess with my timeline of the show.

Finally finished the special features of Parks & Recreation season 2. But I've got a whole stack of dvds I need to start watching that I ordered from Amazon a while ago! Raising Hope arrived last week, I'd totally forgotten about it, but it's going to the bottom of the list.

Grey's Anatomy was pretty boring this week....why is Meredith delivering babies?! If she's gonna play with babies, she should at least be doing surgery on them - Addison Montgomery style! -Also the pink scrubs did not suit her!   April found a more authoritative tone for her voice...necessary I guess. Alex is being a complete doush! I used to like him, but now he's just mean and awful to everyone.   The only part of the ep I really liked was Mark and Arizona going cooking crazy! Who knew Mark would end up being my fave male character on that show?!
-I'm wondering when they'll get around to a crossover ep with the PPP...maybe Derek can come visit his little sis....and yell at her for drinking again. Addy is clearly not taking care of her properly.

Speaking off....Addison and her baby thing just gets more and more annoying. I'm all for Addy having a kid, but can she just end it with Sam already...that's just stupid.   This week's ep was lacking in Amelia, but at least Charlotte got to do a bit more than glare. I still don't like this new Cooper storyline...At least someone finally did a paternity test....guess the kid is sticking around now...boo. I wanted a Charlotte and Cooper baby -which I imagine either won't happen, or will be a long while off. It was so sad when Coop was getting all excited while telling Charlotte...a little tact might have been nice, it seemed like he was rubbing it in. The phrase 'Poor Charlotte' came to mind many many times during this ep. - And talk about waiting...they've been married a few months and he needs a kid already...seriously Coop....IDIOT.
-Also points for using the phrase "Mini Cooper".
Meanwhile, Pete is becoming extremely unlikeable. He's being an ass. He needs a shrink that ISN'T Sheldon! Sheldon needs a vacation from these people!!! Last year he was helping Char and Coop, now its Violet and Pete.     
Oh and can we talk about the renaming of the practice, Seaside Health and Wellness....terrible terrible name, but crazier still, is that they kept the same logo, just redid the name....why even bother?! -Also they gossip so bad, they clearly learned nothing from last season. -And can Violet get her job back already?!
