So since I was so busy socializing this last weekend, I watched my NBC comedies Saturday, but ran out of time for Grey's and the PPP till Sunday, which sucked cause they are my faves.
I thought 30 Rock was better than last week, and it was good this week too! But it unfortunately isn't competing for my fave show of the night.
Parks and Rec continues to be adorable and sweet while still being hilarious! Leslie and Ben are my couple of the season. Also I'm glad Rob Lowe is getting a chance to show his funny side. April was very sweet this week, after Jerry's daughter broke up with Chris. Always nice to see different sides of her.
Grey's was adorable last week. Good Arizona stuff. Good Meredith stuff, especially all the too cute for words Zola stuff.
Private Practice was good, but boy does Violet need to move!!!!! Her house is cursed!!! Still not thrilled with Mason and his dying mother...I find her annoying, and the kid kinda annoying. But I am enjoying a different side of Charlotte, but there is no way they can live in that shoebox apartment with a 9 year old! -I did also enjoy some more hospital stuff with Charlotte...especially since she doesn't seem to have any patients of her own....remember the good old sexology days?! As well as some Violet stuff that involved characters other than Pete or Addison!!
I really missed my Dramas last week. Glad that they'll be back this week. -Still not LOVING The Finder, but I do love Geoff Stults, he's adorable, (as well as a jinx....October Road anyone?) so I must keep watching as long as its not terrible, which its definitely not yet....
Also, I'm really getting through Parenthood season 2 on dvd....and Ness and I have almost finished season 1 of Friday Night Lights - I gave in and decided to buy the complete series, so that's on its way to me now. YAY!
And there is plenty more good tv to come this week!!!!

Thurday Night TV Is Nuts!!!!
So this week I had seven shows to watch from the US's Thursday night....crazy. I had 3 NBC, 2 ABC and 2 Fox shows...didn't get a chance to watch any Friday night, so I watched them all yesterday.
30 Rock was back. YAY. Although I must say I didn't get much out of the ep...but it's sure to get better. Liz acting all happy and stuff was weird, but not really that funny. Jenna as usual was annoying, and not a lot else happened...except that the baby playing Jack's daughter Liddie, was ADORABLE! (But not as cute as Zola....)
Parks and Rec was good, lots of group time, which is always fun. I liked having plenty of Ann stuff, and Ann and Leslie stuff. I liked Ben and Chris hanging out, loser unemployed Ben was great! But it was clear from the start that'd he'd end up being Leslie's campaign manager.
Up All Night was okay. I found myself a little bored with their New Years. But Maya never fails to entertain. Missy is usually entertaining, but in this week's ep all the stuff with her british boyfriend was annoying...I half expected and her and Ava to switch boyfriends!
Grey's Anatomy was good as usual. I liked intense Arizona...at least it gave her something to do. I didn't like Alex giving up all his big moments to the Chief, soooo annoying. Christina and Teddy were heartbreaking, how Christina just had to keep telling Teddy what happened until she was finally able to accept it.Not caring about Bailey anymore...her boyfriend is annoying, and she's annoying. Bailey used to kick ass, but now not so much.
AND oh my goodness was the stuff with Meredith, Derek and baby Zola too freaking adorable for words!
I find myself enjoying Private Practice this year (the whole 2 eps we've had) a little better than what we got last year, they found a little more of the funny. I like Amelia slowing finding herself again. I'm hating Violet and Pete...I like them as a couple, so them being apart is weird. I like Sam and Addie moving on. I enjoyed boys night, but it was still weird...and lacking Sheldon. -They should go back to playing poker. ...and also they need Girls Night...cause Addison and Violet have become a couple themselves, I really really really really miss Violet and Cooper. They have barely even had 2 seconds together this season. Also I love that Charlotte is growing emotionally -she's kinda cute playing mummy, and also that Cooper is growing UP, but I wish they'd be a bit more fun again, they've turned into a boring married couple. The storyline with Mason's mother was kinda predictable...but I wish Charlotte and Amelia hadn't just jumped into illegally gaining access to her medical records....come on Charlotte...you RUN the hospital!!!!! She used to be a stick to the rules girl...you could respect that. (And since when do they just accept a tumor...and not try to get rid of it on these shows) -also a partition?! Charlotte you need a HOUSE...or a new place with at least 2 bedrooms...they also have those on the internet :P ok I'm letting it go.
Bones was good, I liked the case and there was fun stuff with Hodgins as usual. I like Booth looking for a house...and more importantly finding one....who knew that Bones would like a house that was ripped apart so you could see the houses 'bones'.
I also watched the spin-off The Finder. It was okay, I'd keep watching if I can keep up the time...although I think Bones in going on break for a while, so that should be okay. The recasting was interesting, between the set-up ep in Bones, and this new ep for series. That young girl is gonna get annoying, I can tell.
I wish there wasn't so much packed into 1 night, but there isn't even much that I would be willing to postpone till the next day, maybe The Finder....
Golden Globes tomorrow. Can't wait.

Pan Am How I Love You
So this is my little love letter to ABC's Pan Am. I love the classic style of the show. I love the nostalgia. I love the characters. I love the cast and the guest stars. I love the clothes. Really...I just love it all.
-Which is why it is sure to be cancelled after this first season. But hopefully it should get some sort of semi conclusion....having not filmed the last episodes yet....maybe something that could play as a season finale AND a series finale. But I won't count my chickens.
It was so good to have it back this week...even if I had to wait a whole extra day to watch it. But all the Dean and Colette stuff make me sad. I've always LOVED them as a couple...and in classic tv couple storyline...when she broke it off because of Bridget....he ended up back with his ex Bridget by the end....SOOO predictable. -I hated it, but mainly cause I love Dean and Colette...not because of predictability.
I love the spy stuff with Kate. Its almost Alias-esque, but without any butt kicking.
I love Colin Donnell....cause he's adorable...and I'm glad they keep bringing him back, even if I don't really care about the Maggie storyline that he's involved in. I used to like Maggie a lot, but I'm a tad bored with the congressman story.
I liked the idea of Ted and Laura. I was hoping that they'd turn out to be a couple. She's sort of helped him grow into a semi-decent guy...and I've enjoyed watching him grow over the season. Who knows they might have a chance, but I'm much more worried about Dean and Colette.
Whether or not the show ends soon, or gets another season - I've really enjoyed it. Now I won't be absolutely devastated if it doesn't come back, but I will be sad for a while, so here's hoping.

Its Back Baby!
Finally my tv is coming back. With Parenthood, Grey's and Private Practice all returning this week, along with Suburgatory, Modern Family and Unforgettable.
I have missed Parenthood like crazy. The road trip was hilarious. I love the Bravermans. I loved the stuff with Kristina and Max. It was good to see him face consequences. But I though Zeke was a bit out of line, sometimes he really annoys me.
Have I mentioned how much I like Joel?! He's always to be counted on for a laugh as an outside observer of the Braverman clan.
Grey's was great, picking up where we left off last year. I loved the stuff with Christina and Teddy, I felt bad for Teddy not knowing that he was dead, but worse for Christina actually...because hiding the truth from her for all that time was heartbreaking. Big YAY for Meredith and Derek getting baby Zola back!!!! I'm interested to see how this all goes. -Wish I cared more about Bailey, but she's become kinda boring. And I just wish Jason George was still busy with Off The Map...I liked him much better on that show. Alex was going a little nuts, but I like it. Can't wait till the alternate reality ep coming up, should be SO much fun.
PPP was great, well a lot better anyways. Although the start of the ep really made no reference to the end of the previous ep which felt kinda cliff-hanger-y with Addison and a pregnancy test...it seemed lazy not to tie up that loose end. I REALLY don't care about Addison and her baby anymore. It has just become too annoying and rushed. I did LOVE Charlotte and Sheldon at the shooting range. I love when Charlotte does something kind of out there....but nothing beats her renovating Cooper's bathroom in season 3. However....Charlotte has become the wise person on the show with all the advice....when did that happen?! and can she ever get her edge back and find the funny - Charlotte and Amelia used to be outspoken and funny...but they seem to have lost that, I hope they can find it again. Violet and Addie being BFF's is weird for me....they seem to have done that to fill in the gap left by Naomi...who I now find myself really missing. I wish there was more with Violet and Cooper...they've spent hardly any time at all together this year. Also Violet and Pete make me sad. I don't LOVE them like I love Charlotte and Cooper, but I like them together, and after all their history I was enjoying them being a proper couple...but I guess that's tv for ya.
I don't like Jake. I don't like Cooper's kid. I am glad that Sam and Addison finally broke up. -Oh and yay Cooper and Charlotte finally had sex....or what looked like it was leading to sex...(Its been 9 eps without them even referencing it, and that seemed really wrong for those 2).
Oh and best part of the ep? - No Erica!!!
Almost all is right with my world....but lets see if I can manage to fit it all in...its going to be a crazy week this week.
