The PPP on DVD

So since I finished watching 3 seasons of Brothers & Sisters, I gave in on and moved onto PPP which I was going to hold off and wait till I had the 3rd season, but since its never cheap on amazon and I was DYING to watch season 2, I couldn't wait any longer.

Because I could, I started all the way back in the beginning, with the Grey's double. It was SO weird to watch after all this time...Amy, Paul and Chris were all babies! It was so weird to have Merrin Dungey from Alias as Naomi...she just wasn't Audra...I love Audra now!

It was weird to see Stephanie Niznik of Everwood in those eps now...her hair was the wrong color...and she wasn't Nina. Gotta love Nina.

That was Sunday, by sunday evening I had watched 7 eps of the first season. -I couldn't go to bed before watching the ep where Charlotte goes down the rabbit hole. It's THAT good.
Monday I watched the rest of season 1, and started into season 2. Finished off day 2 of PPP-Palooza, having watched the first 4 eps of season 2.
Day 3 saw me watching all the way through to ep 11...and dying to watch ep 12.
22 eps in 3 days...crazy.

One thing that made me laugh about the Grey's set up eps, was the mention of a non-consorting rule in the practice....that didn't last long at all!


Okay so here's the thing, season 1 I watched just after we got back from the US in October. I knew those eps almost inside out, having watched them at least twice before season 2 started...maybe more... But going into season 2 I have found I remember nothing. I mean I knew I didn't remember much, but boy was I right. I remember the ep with Charlotte's dad dying, and the whole Violet/Pete/Sheldon thing, and the finale with Katie, and Charlotte opening the practice downstairs, Joel Grey, and Dell and his kid. But other than that...nothing.
I guess I WAS distracted by a lot of things back when season 2 was starting...Pushing Daisies, Wicked, Kristin, Idina, The West Wing....all of that definately would have taken up a lot of memory space in my head.

I'd forgotten about pregancy scare with Charlotte and Cooper. -See I knew the kid thing had come up with them before, I just couldn't remember how. -But Marjorie and Walter?! -They should not be allowed to NAME children! hah. I'm sure they'll do better when the time comes.
Charlotte in season 2 is like a totally different person to the Charlotte of season 4....okay not really, but the hair, and the outfits (or lack there of...) seem like so long ago, she's grown up in many ways. Charlotte and Cooper as a couple are finally a little more stable in the current season.
Also, I don't remember PPP having such an 80's/90's soundtrack! In the earlier eps I have found so many old songs, almost none of which have any soundtrack potential. -But I have found plenty of other good songs for the soundtrack I'm gonna make when I'm done with the dvds.

Anyways...more comments to come I'm sure. Hopefully I'll find a chance to watch more eps soon. I'm sure I'll be done by the end of the week at this rate!
Yay new eps next week! Not that long now.

When Did Saturday Become TV day?!

Why are there SO many shows on on a Thursday night in the US? Between me and Ness we are overloaded come Friday evenings.

The last 2 weeks Ness and I have been watching a few shows together on our catch up days/nights. We started watching Off The Map together, and then watched the 2nd ep together on Saturday. We also watched Modern Family (which was left over from the weeks tv), Community, Parks and Recreation, we also watched the premire of Harry's Law - the new Kathy Bates, Brittany Snow, Nate Cordry (of Studio 60) show by David E Kelly, it was actually likable...which means we have 1 more show to watch.

Next week Grey's and Private Practice come back too, so that will be a crazy weekend.

Not sure how much I like Off The Map still....I'm enjoying it, but I definately don't LOVE it. But who knows how I'll feel after a couple more eps.  The Aussie/New Zealand guy is getting less annoying, so that is a good thing.

It was weird watching Parks and Recreation, having finished off season 3 of Everwood the night before. Chris Pratt was not little or blonde, which took a little adjusting to.
Still now sure about Rob Lowe on that show yet. I'm glad to have the show back though, I hope it stays good this season.

Finished with the Everwood dvds (till season 4 comes out), we've started watching Sports Night from the start. I've seen 11 eps of the first season, but nothing more. So its nice to finally be getting to the rest. It will complete my Aaron Sorkin tv show viewing.

Even with a whole day and a night to watch stuff, there is still plenty left so we'll be busy on our weekly catch ups I imagine. -We also watched that tv movie Temple Grandin with Claire Danes. She definately deserved the awards for that, it was really good and she was great in it!
