Slow TV Week Again

So there isn't much on this week at all. But Parenthood was on! Yay! Its back, and I love it!

Firstly, Lauren Graham had her voice back…
Secondly, what did Erika do to her arm?! -It was like Stockard Channing in the wheelchair in TWW!

Okay now for the real stuff….
Didn’t ‘HATE’ the prom stuff…Haddie isn’t that annoying in small doses and when she’s happy. Sarah and Gilliam are entertaining. That guy reminds me of Rumplestiltskin though…sorry Richard Dreyfus…but you do…I think it’s the cane.

Poor Julia, I wonder which alternative they will take…maybe they’ll adopt a kid. Poor Sydney, being forced to do everything with her mum is never that fun, but just wait till she’s a teen! Hah!
One more ‘Poor…’ is necessary. Poor Amber…I’m a little worried about where she’s gonna end up…

Yay for Adam turning up at Crosby’s ‘house’…I love when the siblings get together.

Ok…Where IS Drew?! Two whole eps without him…I feel bad that they always go on about Sarah and Amber’s relationship….but completely forget about Drew altogether! They didn’t mention him or anything. Poor Miles. (sorry…needed another one). He hardly ever gets any screen time. Jabbar and Jasmine not being there makes sense, and they were there last week. If Drew is not even mentioned in the next ep I’m gonna be mad!



The finale of Mr Sunshine was fun. Okay, even though Lizzy Caplan is too young for Matthew Perry, their characters were adorable together!
A reference to Benjamin Bratt was entertaining and freaky since he’s going to join the cast of the PPP next season…
Overall it was a good ep, but what a crappy ending….I really don’t like Alonzo.

 
Last week's ep of the Good Wife was a great one. The stuff with Kalinda is getting tricky! Knew the friendship between Kalinda and Alicia couldn't last forever. I like that Cary has become a good guy.

Slim Pickings

So blame it on my sucky internet, but I had hardly anything to watch last week. I had Off The Map which I got off Ness on Monday, I totally love that show now! I got last weeks ep of her last night too. It sucks that they are getting rid of Ryan, she finally got interesting. I like Mina though, and I like Lily more too. Poor Mina....she didn't deserve to get fired.

Mr Sunshine this week wasn't that great, I watched it Friday night. It was okay, but not really GOOD. Overall that show really isn't great. Its a pity, it just makes me miss Studio 60 more and more.
Crystal's speech at the funeral was great though. Allison Janney rarely fails to make me laugh!

Parenthood was FINALLY back last week too! But I felt bad that I hadn't been missing it more, and couldn't remember when it was last on. But it was so good! Although I did spend the whole thing thinking how sick Lauren Graham sounded. Poor thing. Its cool that she's getting somewhere with her play. But poor Julia and Joel. I did find it funny how they handled talking about 'fish' around Sydney. Poor Amber...but she can go to community college and move up later...if she doesn't go off the rails...

I also had 2 eps of Harry's Law to watch. That show is not great at all...its watchable...but barely. The problem is the main characters - none of them are overly likable...not a single one is a GREAT character. I can't really relate to any of them...maybe that's the problem. The cases are not that interesting either. It finishes up this week, luckily.


I'll comment on the Grey's musical and PPP later...I'm still trying to decide what I think about the Grey's music event. It was....strange.

Saturday Night TV

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!

A Little More To Go Around

There was a lot more on tv to watch this week. Yay.

Mr Sunshine - Again a not great ep, with a couple of awesome moments. Allison Janney and James Taylor's duet was awesome! LOVED IT! I admit I've re-watched it quite a few times. I love that the show is an outlet for the stars to use their talents, like singing, ice-skating, and tennis. But the stories themselves seriously suck!-

Raising Hope - Good ep this week, no singing though. I enjoy the silly little songs. One little joke about a tsunami in the ep though seemed very freakishly poorly timed - having been filmed months ago.

Off The Map - loved the Wicked reference. Lily Brenner is becoming a little more interesting. YAY. Ryan is a goner...sucky.  Everyone else is also getting more interesting and likable. Which is a good sign.
Enjoying the show overall....its not a fave, but a definite 'must watch' show, which is pretty close I guess.

Finally some of my other shows were back this week. I've missed them!

Glee - We finally got to regionals. YAY. I thought I wouldn't care for the original songs...but some of them were pretty cool. But I still don't understand how original songs isn't against the rules.....but anyways....
Storywise I don't think much happened....except with the whole Quinn, Finn, Rachel triangle. But I don't really care about that. Kurt and Blaine finally kissed....not that I care about them as a couple, but it was really about time. Poor Emma she's gone AWOL again.
-I didn't love their outfits, the blue dresses were not a great color for everyone...and the leggings underneath were unnecessary.
-The Warblers had good songs this week. It was the one week where I didn't care that they had so much of the story, because it fit - unlike other weeks were it felt tacked on.
-fave songs of the week include, Big Ass Heart -I find it hard not to love any song by Puck. Loser Like Me - Very catchy and a lot of fun.
-I loved the foam fingers and the glitter slushies!
-In a way I kinda like that its become the Rachel and Finn show again...hopefully the last few eps of the season will be good.
-One more thing, okay we knew they were gonna win, but what happened to a teeny tiny bit of suspense.
We'll see what the rest of season 2 brings...I hope they don't keep doing TOO many original songs...its gonna get really annoying.

Parks and Recreation - Finally they got up to the Harvest Festival. It was a fun ep. I did miss Rob Lowe though. Dunno when he'll be coming back. But boy was it good to have the show back! I hate when they have weeks off.

Community was kinda weird and almost boring. Minimal Annie - blink and you'd have missed her. The Jeff/Chang storyline was SOOOO annoying. I hate Chang with a vengeance. Britta, Abed and Troy's stuff was not of the most interesting either. Not a great ep, but I guess they can't be great all the time.

30 Rock was the worst! I can't believe how bad that was...well I can, because they had Sherri Shepherd leading it, as an ep of her character Angie's reality show. It was just BAD. Even Susan Sarandon couldn't save it.

Private Practice - So glad to have it back!!!! Not as 'fun' an ep as the previous one, it was still good overall. I do love the ones with ethics issues, because the line always seems to move within the ep - its never a clear decision one way or the other. Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy have always done ethical issues well.
I understand where that couple was coming from, but when did adoption become so low down the list of choices? Its just wrong. They suck! Cooper needs his own kid - he's gonna keep hijacking other's!

-I was glad they finally gave Amelia her own storyline...even as depressing as it was. Even if they had already had a test ep with that girl back in season 1....the whole would you want to know thing is still an interesting discussion..
-The whole Sam/Naomi thing was just wrong...Sam loses serious points for not being to worried about the fact that he made out with someone else while he's dating Addison...not cool!
-I was just thinking recently that they never used the conference room anymore...and then they did. Good.
-stupid Fife. I never liked him last season, so bringing him back wasn't fun. But I guess I can rule out Naomi going off with him as an exit. -My money is on her going off to Africa or something doing good deeds. 2nd option is her going to NY.
-poor Sheldon. Their friendly neighborhood shrink/'not boyfriend boyfriend' got overworked with everyone unloading their problems on him. So funny when he exploded on Charlotte, and told the men to take care of their women themselves.


Next week the fox shows Glee and Raising Hope are off, but some of the others will be back. Yay!

Making The Best of a Quiet Week

So only 6 of the shows I watch are on this week. :(  boo. But I'm making the best of it, and looking forward to new eps of other shows next week or the week after.

Firstly Awwww! Gotta love a Walker Family party. Evan got cute! "Uncle Noodle". love it! Glad to see Kitty back. Thank god! Nice to see Paige popping up, sometimes I feel like they always ignore the kids. But I wonder if we'll ever see Cooper again?! I don't really care about the whole Olivia thing...I wish I did, but I just don't.
Now that he's gone, I kinda miss Tommy, but at least Kitty is back.
This is the 3rd ep of Brothers & Sisters I have downloaded. I normally would just get it off Ness, but with only 6 things on all week - its nice to be able to be up to date. Its on at the start of the week, meaning by the time I get it off Ness, and watch it myself, its time for a new ep again. So this is definitely easier.
I wish they didn't talk about Langley, and DC and the CIA so much. Its making me nostalgic for Alias, and I really don't have time to re-watch that anytime soon.


Mr Sunshine was kinda good this week....it was totally awesome just for the fact that Allison Janney's character tackled a Smurf! It was too hiLARious! Seeing her ice skate with a Smurf was pretty awesome too! - I love when the use the talents of actors in stuff. -There was never a good excuse to have her ice skate in The West Wing.
Ben and Roman's boy slumber party was kinda funny too. Cup hands was silly, yet seriously amusing. But  again I still don't like Alonso, but I can live with that for now.
Its still not a great show, and I wouldn't be that sad if it never came back, but I want to love it, for Matthew and Allison.


Well that's two shows down, four more to go. Seems so sad.

The Good Wife and Other Stories

This weeks ep of The Good Wife was awesome! I am really loving the show this year. Rita Wilson was back - which is awesome enough, but the whole equity partners vote was a GREAT storyline. Lots of great Diane and Will stuff. Those two are fun together.
Oh and I was not expecting that from Cary! Then I suppose I should have seen it coming. But I was surprised by him kissing Kalinda, not sure what to make of it. Maybe he's playing her, maybe its something else. -I guess we'll find out.
I must also say, while I don't care for the whole Peter/politics storyline, I do love Mr Gold. He's entertaining, and I did like the little bit of politics that were included this week. -Nobody wants Childs in charge.


Modern Family -
This week I actually enjoyed the Cam and Mitch stuff. The adoption stuff was fun. Phil at the spa was funny. Claire wasn't that interesting this week. No Luke was a pity, he's hilarious. Gloria and Jay's fight over the crypt wasn't terrible either.

Mr Sunshine - Yo Yo Ma!!!! Awww I miss The West Wing.
I actually liked this weeks ep. Definitely better than last weeks. I was glad to Jorge Garcia back. He's fun. I liked the Ben getting to know people stuff. Its still not great, but its okay.
But why must Andrea Anders character Alice come to work dressed like that?! Seriously, does she turn tricks at night? Okay maybe its not THAT bad...but its not very professional...even in that sort of environment. 
-I worry that Roman is growing on me. I don't think that's a good sign!


I've still got a whole disk of Damages season 2 left. But I did watch another ep of Cougar Town - I've not seen the first 5 of this season. Its sorta my filler show, when I don't feel like concentrating or need something to watch for 20 minutes.

Figures!!!

Okay so Off The Map is growing on me. Ep 6 was pretty cool....I mean...helicopter crashes always make for good stories!

Also, I can't believe that that girl Ryan, who started out to be the most annoying, turns out to be a great character, and may actually end up dying! Figures!
Meanwhile, Caroline Dhavernas' character Lily is getting more annoying...well mostly I don't like the storyline with the guy. -I just don't care about some dude who is hiding from the cops.
None of the other characters are that interesting still...but they are slowly exploring the issues of all the characters which is good.
There is definite potential for it to be a good show. Maybe not great, but good.

I think that last weeks ep also makes Jayne Brook the first person to be on all 4 of those ABC shows. She's been in PPP, Grey's, and Brothers & Sisters. Plenty of people have been on the other 3, but I believe she's the first to be in Off The Map as well.


Oddly enough, this weeks ep of Mr Sunshine was lacking...or maybe it was just me being thrown off by Lindsay Sloane...she's annoying. But overall this ep was boring.
However....that annoying/crazy assistant girl Heather actually is starting to become likable...or maybe it was just the fact that she stood up for Ben. -it was sweet, and shows that she actually likes him.
Alonzo and Alice are annoying...and other than Matthew and Allison I don't really like the characters, but of course I'll keep watching.

Still Good Times to be Had!

The last week of tv has been excellent. The problem is that I'm a little behind with some shows. My folder of episodes to watch has been growing at a rate faster than the time I have to watch them.

Gotta comment on Grey's Anatomy and the PPP. Last weeks Grey's was actually really fun, cute stuff with Callie, Arizona and Mark - made up for the annoyingness of them all the week before. It was also finally a good Meredith ep. I've felt that recently the episodes haven't done anything with Mer. Looking forward to this weeks Meredith ep too!
-loved the Sophie's Choice reference...love even more that I have actually seen that movie now.
-I have issue with the hair on the show...the blondes are a lot less blonde...and Arizona and Teddy seem to have the same hair these days.

The PPP was fantastic last week. It was great to see the characters deal with Charlotte's rapist being brought into the hospital. I was glad that Sam saved his life...cause that IS his job...but I was also glad that he wasn't being set free again. I was nice to see some closer for Charlotte and Cooper, and hopefully now they will be able to move on. I had a feeling that Addison's mother would do something drastic, seeing as I knew the gang was heading to Connecticut this week...Poor Addison.
-Also KaDee Strickland co-hosted The View today, and said that Cooper and Charlotte's wedding WILL be happening this season which is great! She did a great job co-hosting, held her own against that gaggle.


Modern Family's season 2 Valentine's day ep was just as great as the first season 1. I love Claire and Phil and Juliana and Clive. They're hilarious. Gloria and Jay had a great storyline as well. Cam and Mitchell's story was really annoying though. But overall a great ep.


Last week's ep of P-Rex was pretty funny. Megan Mulllally was back, which is always fun. The intervention for Ron was hilarious. I also liked April being Chris' assistant and her messing with Anne again.
I found 30 Rock kinda lame last week...but maybe it was just a bad week.
Community was a little weird. Britta's lesbian mix up was weird, jut amusing...as are most things on that show. Abed and Troy's storyline was annoying.


I finally finished season 2 of United States of Tara. I love how they get you hooked into finding out what happened to Tara. I'm glad that Charmaine didn't marry Nick...but he was an ass about it!


Mr Sunshine was still great this week...I'll definitely keep watching, but some of the minor characters are pretty annoying. I did love the Brothers and Sisters reference! That was great!


This week's Parenthood was a litte less depressing that last week's. Finally a little Joel and Julia storyline. -Kristina walking in on them in the bathroom of her own house was hilarious! Some proper Drew character growth, plus a little Sarah/Seth development.....
I did not like Crosby and Max's aid hooking up...I mean I don't really like Jasmine...but that was just not cool!
The Bug Man was awesomely played by Michael Emerson, his car was pretty cool, and the bug toy..which Kristina was carrying around like a baby.


This week's ep of Glee was really annoying. Its definitely losing me. I mean 'Take Me For What I Am' was a great song, but it was an odd choice for Rachel and Mercedes to be singing to each other...I mean it is sung by a lesbian couple in RENT...but it sounded good anyways.
The Bieber stuff drove me crazy...these kids are old enough to know better...with Brittany as an exception. If they keep doing stuff like that I really will be tuning out eventually.
I didn't love the group song either...I didn't know it, and it didn't capture any great musical interest from me. I hate that these songs they are picking are SO new. But they also don't have the best value....I just hope that they go into regionals with a proper number....they tanked last year...definitely didn't give it their all.


Brothers and Sisters is annoying the heck out of me...I mean I love them all, but seriously? Another paternity storyline?! I think I saw that Shark jumped a few miles back! The storylines are really not going anywhere in the direction of good. Sarah better be William's daughter!
Its nice to have Tommy back, but his girlfriend is annoying. Well mostly its her accent, and her hair...Cara Buono looks much better as a blonde...and I don't think her wig is the best.
Still no Kitty....no idea what's going on there...maybe Calista just needed some time off, like Amy B in PPP...hopefully she will be back soon, and it will be explained in a good way.


I'm still a few eps behind with Harry's Law, Off The Map, and The Good Wife. But I'm getting there.
All new eps of the Thursday night shows to watch as well. Its crazy!

Here We Go

So the Glee Super Bowl episode was actually pretty disappointing. It was almost 50 minutes in length, had a few extra songs....but overall wasn't that interesting at all.

I liked that Quinn was all over the ep. Its been a while since they've even used Quinn for much at all.
I liked the Cheerios standing up to Sue and quitting...because she was willing to let Brittany explode out of a cannon.....

I didn't care much for Thriller, although the makeup was cool.
I just didn't care much about the football team, the whole making them join Glee was stupid, but not nearly as stupid as the Glee girls joining the football team to give them enough players....It made not even the slightest bit of sense....I mean Rachel would snapped like a twig!
I don't even know why they bothered having the Warblers in it....Kurt at the game made sense, but the song at the school was unnecessary and didn't fit.

Where the heck was Emma?! Does she even exist anymore?!

I honestly can't even remember 1 song I really liked out of all of them. I didn't hate Rachel and Puck's song, mostly cause I didn't know it.
I don't even know if I care about Sue anymore...she's gotten annoying.
I feel sad that I don't love Glee anymore....it had so much quality and potential in those first 13 eps...before it sold out to popularity and guest stars. -What the heck was Katie Couric doing there?! That was just tacked on and stupid.


On the other side, Mr Sunshine was fresh and entertaining. Although, I must say it was kinda doing my head in. Between all the Studio 60 people, and other people from things....It was a lot to get used too. But it was funny, and not at all terrible. Allison Janney rocks my world. She's crazy and never disappoints! Matthew Perry I'm gonna have to adjust to again, sometimes he just reminds me of Chandler from Friends...or Matt Albie from Studio 60....and I'm gonna have to get over the fact that Andrea Anders is NOT Harriet Hayes (Sarah Paulson). But wouldn't it be great if Sarah could make a cameo appearance someday!
I don't think I could hate the show if I tried.



So moving onto the 2nd episode of Glee for this week. Things were back to normal. The regular ep was much much better in my opinion....if not just for the scene in which Santana had her ass handed to her by Lauren! Definitely a season highlight!
I really enjoyed seeing Santana, Brittany and Quinn in regular clothes...its very rare that we have ever seen Santana and Brittany out of the Cheerios uniform. I like it!

I didn't care much for all the mushy couples stuff, but I guess that's what you get in a Valentine's Day ep. Tina's breaking down in tears during her song to Mike was weird and disturbing. Out of all the songs I only really liked Puck's song, and the Warblers one at the end. Fireworks was okay, but nothing special.

I actually really like the idea of Finn and Quinn getting back together. Mostly cause I just can't stand Sam...he's just annoying. I think that's one of the things I enjoyed most about the regular ep...character development. Even if it was only love interest development...it was something. But I hope they move on next ep to more productive Regionals type progress.

I enjoyed minimal Mr Schue too. Kinda didn't even notice that Sue wasn't there...which was odd..
But seriously...Emma...WHERE ARE YOU?! - She better come back next ep or I'll be PISSED!


Parenthood was pretty heavy this week. Serious drama going on with Sarah's family and Crosby's family. I feel for Crosby, Jasmine really does take control of everything...she needs to learn to let him in...plus he's gotta have a say in his own wedding....if not for the date alone!
I'm on John Corbett overload this week, what with watching season 2 of United States of Tara as well. But it was nice to have a little development in that storyline. It was great to have Drew do something!
Yay Haddie went home...big whoop. She annoys the heck outta me!
Still no Jabbar or Sydney...and Joel and Julia only had 1 tiny tiny scene. Boo. I hope they start doing more with Jules and Joel again soon! -What happened to that 2nd baby idea?

Its been an interesting few days of television...more shows to come in the next few days...yay! I love having my shows back!

Finally All Is Right In The World!

All my shows are finally back as of this week. Plus I'm super excited for Matthew Perry and Allison Janney's new show Mr Sunshine which starts up this week.

Friday night Ness and I watched Private Practice which was finally back after its 3 week break. The ep was good, but depressing, and also lacking something. It wasn't just that Violet wasn't there. I think they were just lacking a little comedic relief...Amelia tried to provide some, but it wasn't enough/of the usual standard.
-I'm also thinking it has something to do with the ep being directed by a non-regular...having only directed 1 other ep back in season 3. Or maybe its cause Charlotte and Cooper were living in the kitchen for most of the ep...or the one patient they had was boring....who knows.
But overall it was still good. Charlotte's slowly coming along in her healing process...although I'm a little scared about what the next ep is going to do to her. Yeeeshk.
I still don't care about AddiSam...and about Bizzy - which may be another reason the ep felt lacking...
Give Naomi more to do, she needs something going on...as long as its something interesting...
-Also...still nothing on 'Charlotte King engagement ring watch' but I know she has it back in an upcoming ep thanks to twitter...but hopefully there will be an explanation for her naked finger.

We also watched Grey's, which was actually a good ep. -Maybe it had something to do with the mininal Owen! Hah! When did Christina gain a heart/bedside manner and become interesting?! Who knew?! Bailey's tweeting of surguries was entertaining.
But I'm still not caring about Arizona/Callie/Mark and the baby....its just not interesting anymore.
I just wish Meredith and Derek would do something. Anything! They seem to wander around and then work on a case for 5 minutes and thats about it. They used to at least be interesting and worth believing in, but now...all the relationships on that show infact...I just don't care.

I watched Parks and Recreation on Saturday. Rob Lowe's character was actually less annoying! Yay! Maybe cause the rest of the ep was kinda annoying...WAY too much Twilight talk for my liking. But yay for Will Forte...I'm missing him terribly on SNL!

Community just gets weirder and weirder...which is both cool and awesome, but also creapy. The latest ep's Dungeons and Dragons storyline was disturbing! I mean it was nice and all, but in a way like Jeff had fallen and hit his head...cause in what other world would he be THAT nice?!

I'm slowly getting through United States of Tara still...I've watched 5 so far. Sometimes I feel like watching a few, sometimes I can only handle 1 ep at a time. It all depends on my mood.

Glee is back tomorrow. I'm not really that excited. I feel sad that I don't care so much anymore, but its just not up to the same quality of the first 13 eps, before they started writing to be popular...instead of for the characters. I could care less about the guest stars...they have so many in the main cast that are not getting used enough as it is! But we'll see. There's another ep this week too, so its gonna be a whole lotta Glee.
