So its that time of year again....the tv networks have made their decisions on which shows they are bringing back next year and which are cancelled.
The worst news was that SMASH has not been picked up for a 3rd season. I'm crushed...but not at all surpised, seeing as it didn't rate well this year and was moved to Saturday nights in the US.
I love Megan Hilty, Debra Messing, and the whole cast...but this year was missing something that it had in the first season. I would have loved to have 1 more season for them to find that again.
RIP SMASH. - Looking forward to Megan working more though, will have to make an effort to get to NYC to see her on Broadway sometime if thats where she goes.
Go On was also cancelled, but I never really loved it. It was getting good though by the end of the season. Oh Matthew Perry...so many 1 season series...and I will watch whatever you do next.
I was really surprised that Community got another season, but I'm glad they have!
All my other important shows have been picked up so yay!!! Revolution has a 2nd season, I'm really excited about that. Its been really good lately, but I hope they continue with the flashbacks. I'm intrigued by how Miles became this General, and then how he changed and left Monroe in charge.
Parenthood is coming back for a full 22 episode season, which is fantastic! After all those short seasons it will be great to have a longer one. It might be the last one we get potentially, so at least there will be plenty of time to wrap it up.
Nashville is also coming back. But I don't have a lot of luck with shows going longer than 2 seasons, so I won't get my hopes up. But its been getting really good lately. But I still don't care about the politics part, so less of that would be good.
There are also lots of new shows that have been announced. I've been watching the trailers for them, some look good, but not tons. I'll write about them later.

LOST Finale Relived & Other TV
So Ness and I finished rewatching LOST on Saturday night. The ending was bad...probably worse than I remembered. But for me it was still worth all of it for the scene with Sawyer and Juliet! They got points for bringing back Boon and Shannon and Charlie. But the whole ending was crazy. They should have just left it on the island and let them go home. Oh well...it was still a great show on a whole.
In other more recent tv news...
Revolution has not been as good the last two weeks on a whole. They have split up the group into Aaron and Rachel, and Miles, Charlie and Nora...and occasionally we see the Nevilles and Monroe.
Last week Rachel went to find yet another old friend that is involved in this power outage mess. -Wish they'd stop doing the...oh Rachel happens to know another random person that knows how to turn the lights back on...thing. Its getting old.
I agree with people complaining about these 2 bit characters they keep bringing in...we don't care. If its not about the main group/s, or involving them a lot it doesn't matter to me.
I don't care about Aaron's wife....sorry, but I don't. But maybe now that Aaron has run into her again, he can get over it and stop being such a whinger.
Speaking of Aaron...Elizabeth Mitchell was pretty much a glorified extra this week. Seriously...more flashbacks please...explaining what the heck was going on with Rachel back in the day, and Ben and Miles...Its a mess! Plus I want to know more about why Bass kept her hostage.
Didn't care about the Miles/Bass/Emma storyline much....maybe the fact that Monroe has a son will have some impact on the rest of the season...but the rest was kinda boring. Miles went alone as ordered...the others turned up of course and saved his hide...
Notes for this week - where did Rachel and Charlie find the hairbrushes and shampoo...and hairdryers?! -why the heck do the people in Georgia dress like they are going to the office/church after all this time with no power and how do they keep them clean and pressed?! - Hurry up with the backstories!
The Good Wife wrapped up for the season this week. In a great twist Alicia made out with Will then agreed to team up with Cary to open a new firm. Its gonna be sooooo good next season! I was also cool that they brought back Martha Plimpton. Her character is great fun. It was also great to have Mamie Gummer in the show the other week. The Good Wife has THE BEST and the most guest stars!
Smash has been really good lately too. Which sucks cause it is probably not getting another season...but I would be sooooo happy if it did!
I love Jeremy Jordan, but Jimmy is really annoying. He doesn't really seem to have any good qualities..and I find myself not caring about him at all.
The Big C is back. Its good that they are doing double length episodes. But there are only going to be 4 eps to wrap it all up. The first one was sad, but great. Can't wait to see how it all fits together in the last 3.
I finished off Parenthood season 3 this week too. I love the show, but on a whole its not the kind that I watch episodes over and over. However it was fun to rewatch it all, and will fill the void till its back later in the year. - thank goodness its been picked up for another season!
I also borrowed Significant Others from Vanessa and watched all 6 episodes this week....just for a little more Elizabeth Mitchell overdose. Jennifer Garner was sooo little...I forgot that it was that old, 1998 is a million years ago! I thought it was around 2000. Anyways...good cast, and had good moments, but overall was slow and the stories didn't connect that well. I had a few notes that I thought of while I was watching: 1) With Jennifer, Elizabeth, Michael Whetherly, and Eion Bailey - I thought give them all guns, it would be interesting - based other shows they have all been in. 2) Between LOST and Revolution I wish Elizabeth's character wasn't married to another BEN! Sorry Tim Guinee...but Michael Whetherly is way prettier than you! lol. 3) Even though I watched it years ago back in the mid 2000's I remembered a fair bit of it.

Back in Action
Okay so I've been MIA for a long time, haven't posted anything since the Emmys back in October...since then the new season has been in full swing and is now on winter break till the new year.
Revolution has become one of my new fave shows. I'm oddly hooked to it. Maybe its cause I've watching LOST again(which I will talk about later). Or maybe because I'm just glad Elizabeth Mitchell being back on tv (without aliens). Anyways...I love it. Its not the best show in the world, but its very intruging and I find myself always wanting to watch it before Bones...sorry Bones, but you're not one of my faves.
Private Practice has gotten AWESOME. So since I last posted, the triplets have been born...well the 2nd two were about to be born in the mid season finale...I can't believe there is only three episodes left. EVER!!!! Its going to be really sad when its gone, because this season has been awesome. Season 5 was really the only time it wasn't great. I'm gonna miss those crazy bunch of people....I wish we could have a Charlotte, Cooper and Amelia spin off...
Grey's is still going for now, I hope that wraps up soon, even though its good, its not great and needs to end soon. ESPECIALLY since PPP is ending. The Arizona stuff has been great this season, and the new interns are actually not annoying! They are okay I mean, lets not get carried away, they are kinda boring and take time away from the good characters.
1 big change so far this season, is that I gave up on The New Girl. I just found that when I was watching it, I wasn't paying attention, so I stopped once I got back from overseas.
I keep saying I'm going to stop watching Revenge, but I keep watching it, might give up if I don't love it when it comes back on.
Once Upon a Time has been really good this season, as has Parenthood (except for that whole Ray Romano thing). The last ep before Christmas killed me. I was bawling like a baby. Mostly cause I wasn't sure if Kristina was going to die or not, and also because it brought back some personal bad memories from my childhood. Her video to the kids was a tearjerker!
Parks and Rec is awesome as usual. Ben and Leslie are getting married, and Ron Swanson is dating Xena....
Can't wait for Smash and Bunheads to come back. As well as the next season of The Newsroom if that ever comes back!
In the meantime, I've rewatched the entire Studio 60 again...and Parks and Rec season 3. Now I'm wrapping up season 5 of 30 Rock - which will also bow out soon. Then I'm moving onto Smash!

Bad Blogger
Sooooo I've been AWOL lately...too busy watching all the tv to get a chance to talk about it!
So The Newsroom is finished, can't wait till next season...I'm still hoping a few Sorkin shows alumn will pop up.
But seriously, enough with the West Wing references! That whole "gather ye rosebuds" bit was too much for me to handle!
Weeds bowed out this week, with a flash forward...with no real closure. Its funny, I kinda always expected Nancy to die in the end. But I guess it ended okay. It was nice to see some old faces again.
A new season has begun, with the shows starting up again.
Parenthood is back after a February season finale - toooooooo long a break in my opinion. Its good to finally have Lauren Graham back on my tv.
Revolution is a new show. So far I like it. Its part Lost, part Jericho, part....hunger games I guess. But its intriguing.
More shows will come back over the next few weeks. Plus some more new shows starting. Wonder what will survive this year!
Also the emmys are on on Monday. Can't wait!!!!

Keeping Score
Last year I would have said my fave shows were Private Practice and Parenthood, closing followed by Grey's Anatomy.
This year, I still LOVE Parenthood, and Grey's, but Private Practice has dropped way down the quality scale, and become really boring. I am not excited for it like I used to be...because they made my fave characters - Charlotte, Amelia, Violet and Cooper boring. Addison is getting more interesting again, except for the fact that she keeps going back to Sam!
So obviously my expectations for the crossover with Grey's were pretty low. I really enjoyed the Grey's half. With the exception of all the Christina and Owen stuff. I love Derek and Amelia together. I also liked Lexie getting involved! The PPP half was ok. The Charlotte and Mason parts were interesting. I did like the bit at the end with char and coop, but I was sure she was going to say they should have a kid of their own! Also I felt bad that the whole time I could not decide whether I wanted Erica to live or not...if she lived we are stuck with her and if she died Char and Coop got stuck with. Mason all the time. But I guess it all worked out for the best.
I like that Sam has something else going on....but I was dying for him to speak to Naomi. I miss her!!!
In other TV news, I loved loved loved SNL this week! Maya hosted and it was hilarious! I loved that Amy Poehler came back to do Bronx beat and update. I loved the sketch with Kristen and Maya were they almost lost it, and poor Bill did. Points to Vanessa for keeping it together! Golden ep, which I will probably watch a few times over!
It's been a good tv week, but here's where I'm at with my shows.
Top Rated, Can't Live Without Them:
Parenthood - what is not to love?!
Grey's Anatomy - so glad this show bounced back. They found the funny again.
Parks and Recreation - I love this season. The stuff with Leslie and Ben is delightful!
Saturday Night Live - maybe it's not as good as previous seasons, but when it's good it's on fire!
Private Practice - close ti dropping out of thus category, sadly this show used to have me waiting to watch it, now I'm less excited for it.
Shows That I love, but could still live if they were cancelled:
Pan Am - it may not be the absolute greatest show in the world...but I love it!
The Good Wife - I love how relevant the topics are for the cases from this show. I also love the guest stars.
Cougar Town - Its back and it's awesome!
Unforgettable- never thought I'd care much about this show, but I must be in need of a crime show fix, cause I love it!
Modern Family - this show is still funny, been good lately, after a big of a slump last year.
Suburgatory - still loving this show. One of my faves of the new shows.
Shows That I just Like:
Once Upon a Time - love the fairy tales, but it if we're to go I'd be fine.
Ringer - its pretty darn good, but I don't LOVE it.
Glee - once upon a time it was so addictive and awesome, the songs were great, and so was the story. But now I'm caring less and less....until something small pulls me back in.
Ringer - really got into it at the beginning, but now I'm getting bored.
Revenge - even better than ringer to start with, and now less interesting.
30 Rock - every now and then I love an ep, but mostly I just love Liz.
Up All Night - its funny and cute and I like it, but dunno if it has lasting power.
The Finder - could really take it or leave it.
That's my TV...finales will be coming up soon, so things should get interesting.
Smash is not on the list, having just started, but it's looking great so far!

Weekend TV Delayed
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!!!!

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.

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.

Back to Normal...Almost
So last week was a super slow TV week. Hardly anything was on, Parenthood was on, but hardly had any Lauren Graham, which made me sad.
This week most things are back, but some shows will not be returning till next year. Boo :(
I was excited to have Once Upon a Time back. I just LOVE that show, more for seeing what they do with the fairytales, than the actual characters, but its all good.
Parenthood was good this week. I found myself actually feeling bad for Haddie....which is odd, since I don't like her much, but she deserved sympathy in this week's ep. I don't know why, but I found the scenes with Sarah and baby Nora odd....not bad, just weird. Found myself not caring much about the Crosby storyline...so nothing different there....
Yay for Kristina going back to work, and getting something else to do.
Glee overall was good. The Puck and Shelby stuff still weirds me out....and Idina's song wasn't great this week...which was a pity, cause I actually liked all the other songs. Yay for The Beast! I liked her storyline...also cause it gave Emma a bit more to do....Emma really needs more going on.
Raising Hope was back on track this week. I enjoyed it muchly. The New Girl, however, is losing me more and more...yet I feel I can't quit it....and I don't know why.
Good stuff coming up later in the week. Can't wait for Katie Finneran's new show tomorrow!

Tuesday Gold
So I wasn't expecting anything from Glee this season, but I have to admit I loved this weeks ep! I'd say the fact that Idina was all over it AND sang might play part in that. I enjoyed the songs too. But made me miss Rock of Ages more. I liked the stuff with Santana, and even the Rachel stuff. I just wish every ep could be good, instead of so hit and miss.
Parenthood was awesome! I loved the stuff with Sydney. So funny! The stuff with Max and those boys was sad, but funny when Kristina told them off.
And yay for more Drew stuff! I saw the Adam and that girl thing coming mile away, and didn't like it.
Raising Hope was great too. I like when Sabrina gets more to do. She cracks me up. I still don't think it's as good as last season, but this ep was much closer to it.
Even The New Girl was kinda good this week. It's still not great, but it had a few good moments this week....even if Justin Long's character was a little weird, but it was still funny.
Haven't watched anything tonight, since I had other plans, but I'll try and catch up tomorrow as much as I can. Gotta get through all the Thursday stuff too. Can't wait for 2 hour PPP...even if it is all we get till next year. :(

On a High Note
So overall I enjoyed this weeks tv muchly....except for Glee. -Okay it wasn't terrible, there were some good bits. I did like that Emma and Beast had some storylines. I liked that Mr Schue was barely in it. I also liked the intergration of the West Side Story music into the rest of the plot - it was pretty much a West Side Story ep, but much less IN YOUR FACE. I missed Idina. -But it worries me just how few characters I even like anymore. I don't really like any of the kids...cept for Kurt. Rachel, while annoying, is actually consistent...and less in your face this season.
Parenthood was sooo good this week...the stuff with Seth and Amber made me cry! Poor Amber. I knew Seth was going to be trouble...oh Sarah...
As far as the other storylines...I'm pretty bored with the Crosby and Jasmine stuff...Dr Joe annoys me. The Kristina stuff was ok, the new secretary was an old story though. BORING.
I liked Zeke having 'The Fever'...but he should just let Adam have it...he does it MUCH better.
I'm officially all caught up with Ringer. I've actually come to really enjoy it. It just gets twistier and twistier. I am liking that Juliet girl...she's interesting.
ALL the Thursday tv was good. Parks and Rec was hilarious, yet all the Leslie and Ben stuff still made me sad. -I did love the ref to Mighty Ducks 2 by Andy. Oh and I LOVED that Ann got to do more this week!
Community's weird musical thing was weird, but good. And I couldn't help "awwing" for the little puppet show Abed and Troy put on for Annie.
Bones was good. Lots of good Booth and Brennan stuff. New Squintern is interesting...the stuff with Hodgins was both funny, and weird...and kinda mean. -The snake was kinda cool too...
Grey's was awesome! Sadly that's the last ep for this year :( But what an ep. Poor Henry....he was a gonna from the start. And poor Teddy, they shouldn't have lied to her, but it was necessary for the sake of her patient. I didn't quite get the whole Ambulance breaking down thing...and it didn't explode like they said it would....but for a few seconds there it was scary! Poor Mer and Der...they need baby Zola back.
Private Practice was good this week. Finally a good Charlotte ep -I realise that whethe or not there is good Charlotte stuff is not the same as A good ep, but there WAS good Charlotte stuff in addition to other good stuff. I liked that Charlotte got to do fun stuff -like making fun of the cupcakes and playing wii tennis with Mason, in addition to the trying to stop Amelia from taking prescription pads. -Which speaking of...I gotta mention that when Amelia started pushing Charlotte....I found myself wondering who would win in a fight between those two...I can't decide.
They were right, this ep WAS funny. I loved Sheldon and the cupcakes. I loved the codeword 'tacos' when discussing Amelia in front of Mason. I loved the end with Char and Coop playing with Mason - always said Charlotte would be better with an older kid...-Violet's the only one who hasn't met him...which seems odd...
And its official, Char and Coop need a house. Or at least a bigger apartment. Mason can't sleep on the couch all the time when he visits.
Poor Amelia...oh and yay for Addison finally stepping in! -The stuff with Amelia's story is soooo sad, and when she moved from pills onto the hard stuff....ugh, it hurt. -Can't wait for next week's 2 hour double ep! -PPP has never done a 2 hour ep before. -Caterina Scorsone is rocking it this season!
-oh and points for referencing Violet and Cooper's fave show American Bakeoff!

The TV Has Returned!
So all the FOX shows were back this week, as was Parenthood.
Tuesday night saw a good ep of Parenthood, but I am SO over Jasmine. She needs to go or get back with Crosby.
Poor crazy Kristina, it's not too much to ask for a little bit of family time is it?
Still loving the adorableness that is Mark and Sarah. Pity it's not going to last.
Enjoyed Raising Hope, but I still don't know if it's up to the quality of last yeah. A least Shelly was back in it this week. There is not enough Sabrina either.
Still on the fence with The New Girl. I liked this ep better, but it's still not great.
Glee was also not great this week. The songs were meh and the stories were annoying. Yay for Idina, but that thing with Shelby and Puck was semi icky.
Liked Revenge this week, having the real Emily Thorne turn up was interesting. Looking forward to where that goes. Also, Declan is annoying and stupid.
Modern Family, Up All Night and Suburgatory were ok, but not great. - Community also sucked.
Parks and Rec was good, yay for Ann (all 5 seconds of her) - and Ann and Leslie at that! But the stuff with Leslie and Ben just makes me sad. Which is odd for a comedy. But they are just too cute together.
Bones is back baby! Plenty of cute stuff, especially the scene with Angela, Hodgins, Cam and the baby. Adorable! Booth and Bones as a couple is weird, but good. I'll adjust.
Grey's was good this week, I really enjoyed the Heart in a Box/Magic 8 Ball thing, it made for good Christina stuff. The whole Mrs O'Malley turning up was kinda strange, but good. I liked the reminiscing about George -which doesn't happen a lot when characters die/leave. -Points for mentioning Izzie once. Mark and Jackson's Bromance is too funny. I am really enjoying the Mark stuff lately, he's more interesting when he has no life.
PPP was good, but weird. It worries me when Addison is leading the comedy and light hearted storylines. Amelia had entertaining stuff...including waking up the stranger in her bed. But the rest of it was a downer. Charlotte's flashbacks to the origin of her pill problem was kinda strange, and not just because of the REALLY bad dark wig they had on her. Anyone remember when Charlotte was fun? I miss building a bathroom Charlotte, and dress up in crazy outfits Charlotte. -And can Addison even acknowledge Amelia already?! Speaking of....the whole Sam helping pick out the sperm donor is just wrong on SO many levels. Sorry Sam, you gotta go!
And that concludes last week's tv. Tomorrow will bring a whole new lot of awesomeness and probably some crappiness too.

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?!

Extreme TV!
So this week I've found myself watching more tv than usual....although since the FOX shows are off till November, I do have a little more time.
Highlights of this week.
Parenthood - Seth came back drunk and is gonna cause trouble for Sarah and Mark, which sucks cause they are so cute! I found great amusement in Seth calling Mark 'Captain Morgan'. But the funniest moment was when Adam came out dressed in his street gear....I almost couldn't stop myself from laughing to keep watching!
Amber was enlisted to help Max understand apologies. And Kristina FINALLY had her baby! But Nora is a weird name and I don't like it. - Oh and that coffee girl decided to give Julia her baby!
Suburgatory was excellent this week! Plenty of Ana Gastyer which made for plenty of hilarity. Jeremy Sisto is starting to become more believable to me as a dad too which is helping. And yay for it getting a full season pickup!
Grey's was good..ish. Oh Lexie come back already! But yay for bringing baby Zola back...even if she was just a patient. But the stuff with her was toooo cute. -I'm gonna go ahead and assume that Mer and Der are gonna get her back...cause otherwise bringing her back is just a tease. Get on with it!!!!
Poor April....she needs to learn to filter her facebook apparently...eek. Jackson's mom was a bit scary, but not nearly as bad as Ellis Grey! Yay for Scott Foley! But give him more than 1 little scene...boring. And yay for Bailey breaking up with that nurse guy...he was ANNOYING! This ep was rather Callie light too, which was dissapointing after an all boys ep. But overall good ep.
PPP was good this week, much more enjoyable than last week. However...that ending did not please me. I'm not sure I'm liking where this Cooper/Charlotte storyline is going...but I guess I have to trust the writers. I love that Jake has become the guru for the guys. -His office is huge...apparently that floor has had a complete remodel, with Sheldon also getting a new, smaller office. -Gotta mention the big round window outside Jake's office - did OWG just become the Morgue from Crossing Jordan?!
I also found it odd that they were hanging out in the 'coffee/lounge' area...was the kitchen being cleaned?!
Yay for Amelia having good storylines. Michaela Watkins is hilarious. I miss her on SNL! Sheldon is spending all his time helping Pete and keeping an eye on Amelia who is fighting with Charlotte. - I got a kick out of Charlotte calling herself "The Wicked Witch of St Ambrose"...while wearing a green dress.... I hope those two make up soon.
Also in this episode...we learned Violet is not allowed to be amongst the people...I hope she gets her license back soon, or poor Lucas is going to have an even crazier mom! And...Addison was there...oh yeah, she and Violet are now 'friends' as opposed to whatever they were before....I dunno it was weird. I miss Naomi! She balanced the girls better.
-Odd note....if that kid Mason is in fact Cooper's son....his next kid will have to be called Thatcher or Hunter or something...
Community was also great this week. I hate that that show is so hit and miss. For every golden ep, they have at least 2 bad ones. But the different timelines was excellent! But I find it interesting that everyone has more fun and gets along better without Jeff around.
Parks and Recs was good, but what the heck is going on with Ann?! They hardly do anything with her anymore...and are she and Leslie even friends anymore? Cause you wouldn't know it with the way they seem to ignore each other! I LOVED Ben buying the Batman suit! Too funny!
I also watched some new shows last night. Finally got around to trying out hour long shows. I watched Revenge which was really good!!! I also watched Pan Am which was good, but not great. I'll try to get around to Unforgettable and A Gifted Man if I can find the time!

Community was also great this week. I hate that that show is so hit and miss. For every golden ep, they have at least 2 bad ones. But the different timelines was excellent! But I find it interesting that everyone has more fun and gets along better without Jeff around.
Parks and Recs was good, but what the heck is going on with Ann?! They hardly do anything with her anymore...and are she and Leslie even friends anymore? Cause you wouldn't know it with the way they seem to ignore each other! I LOVED Ben buying the Batman suit! Too funny!
I also watched some new shows last night. Finally got around to trying out hour long shows. I watched Revenge which was really good!!! I also watched Pan Am which was good, but not great. I'll try to get around to Unforgettable and A Gifted Man if I can find the time!

TV Triumphs and Fails
So this week was the first cancellation of shows that I was watching. Free Agents with Kathryn Hahn got the axe. I'm okay with that, I liked it, but thought it really should have been a lot better. So at least that's one less show to watch each week.
Parenthood was great this week, with Max and Jabbar fighting over Max making him sit with him at lunch. Good storyline. I also like Drew and his girlfriend, cause its so adorable. And yay for more Sarah and Mr Cyr....or whatever his real name is. I could have lived without the Zeke storyline though...ick
I loved the Grey's 'Boys ep'. It actually worked really well. Although the fact that they all spent most of the ep building Derek's deck was a little odd. But Sloan and Derek fighting over Avery...and the Chief (cause he will always be The Chief) helping out Alex with an excuse for being late....were pretty funny. Overall I didn't hate it at all, like I thought I would.
-Oh and Sloan letting baby Sofia role off the couch and under the table was kinda hilarious. And that geek being in love with April was adorable...till she didn't know of Hobbits.
PPP was okay, but not as fun as the 1st ep of the season. Cooper was being stupid! How many times is he going to get into trouble?! - But I did like the little call-backs with his attempts at Charlotte's password. He's lucky Charlotte is a good problem solver, otherwise her job could have been on the line!
Amelia has apparently moved into Addison's house and Addison has moved in with Sam...so I guess that's one way of saving on sets. Amelia is sober, she's gonna get to cut....and so now she's drinking again....Boo. Bad Amelia. And Poor Violet...she's stuck - not being able to work and dealing with a grumpy Pete.
Still not loving Pineapple Guy...or Fiji Guy as I think we are now calling him. Maybe he'll grow on me. I'll try to like him better. -I think my fave scene of the ep was Violet and Sheldon gossiping about him and Addy.
-I also forgot to mention that it was weird watching last week's season premiere without Ness...since we have watched the last 3 season prems together. - not to mention pretty much all the eps from the 2nd half of last season. But I'd adjusted by this week.
P-Rex was hilarious as usual. I loved that Leslie was born in Eagleton....but I saw that coming the second they said she wasn't born in Pawnee....Chris Pratt was hilarious!!!!!!
Community was weird this week...too much Chang...and it was super creepy!
Modern Family was good, but Cam and Mitchell's storylines are getting annoying.
Up All Night was good again this week. I'm definitely loving the show, but would probably still okay if it got canned.
There were also 2 eps of Raising Hope this week for some reason. The Tuesday ep was a bit meh, but the Wednesday ep was awesome! I love Sabrina!
Oh and Melissa McCarthy was HILARIOUS on SNL! Loved it!

TV IS BACK!!!!
Some of the shows started up last week, and some started this week...and some don't start till next week, but its all coming back now and I'm feeling good.
Parenthood started back last week...and there were some HILARIOUS dancing scenes. They brought back Adam and 'the fever'. They've also brought back Jason Ritter, who I just love, and him and Lauren have really good chemistry!
Yesterday I watched new Glee and Raising Hope (and Parenthood and The Big C) on my fancy new WD TV live media player...which is SO awesome. Got it last weekend, and it plays everything...even the stuff I download off youtube! It'd be fun to watch Puppy Love on the big screen!
I was worried about Raising Hope being less good now that Hope was growing up...but she's still pretty cute. The ep wasn't great, but still good, and I bet will get better.
I'm not sure what to make of Glee. I was prepared to hate it. But I was impressed with all the Emma...which I'm taking to mean - that's all we get for the whole season. Rachel is still kinda annoying, but overall I didn't HATE it. The songs were kinda cool, and there may be hope yet. I dunno...I won't call it quits just yet - Idina Menzel will be back in it next week, so I have NO CHOICE but to keep watching for now anyways.
Modern Family started out okay, the holiday to Wyoming was weird, but entertaining. New grown up Lily is both cute and freaky at the same time...which worries me. But at least she has expressions! We'll see how things go.
Then there are the new shows.
The New Girl - Not sure about it. I love Zooey, but her character seems like she could get annoying on a weekly basis. But I'll keep watching.
Up All Night - I loved the pilot. Ep 2 was not as good, but there were plenty of laughs to be had still. Maya Rudolph is AWESOME! (duh!)
Free Agents - I know I should kinda hate it, but I LOVE it. It makes me laugh. Kathryn Hahn is hilarious! The others are pretty funny. Hank Azaria is great too! Anthony Stewart Head weirds me out though.
Tomorrow sees the return of P-Rex, Community and Grey's Anatomy with a 2 hour premeire...so no PPP till next week, but I'll cope. -Season 4 arrived today!

Emmys 2011 Verdict
Well I wasn't that excited for this years Emmys I must say. I wasn't sure about Jane Lynch hosting....but she was actually pretty good...and WAY better than the last time FOX hosted them - anybody remember that round stage with the people sitting ON the stage itself? TERRIBLE! But I would have rathered had Jimmy again.
My fave fave fave part was the Lead Actress in a Comedy pageant! When Amy Poehler rushed up on stage, I almost died of laughter! And then when the rest of them got up...it was just pure awesomeness! I would have loved any of them to win...I am SO glad that Melissa McCarthy (or Sookie St James as she will always be to me) won....I love her, even though I don't watch her show....but I kinda wanted Amy Poehler to have her turn! Maybe some day she will win. I also was rooting for Martha Plimpton, but she'll get more chances...just look at Kristin Chenoweth!!!
-Also I totally vote that those 6 ladies host next year's Emmy's. They'd be unstoppable!
I feel bad for the people in the categories with Maggie Smith and Martin Scorsese...your odds are pretty damm slim!
I was also excited to have such a large SNL presence at the emmys. Kristen, Seth, Andy and Lonely Island, Lorne, Jimmy, Amy and Tina....its weird seeing Seth out and about now...and getting interviewed on the red carpet.
While I have been grizzling about the PPP and Parenthood not being recognized this year - when they really really deserved to be, I did give them points for at least including them in their drama show clips - PPP especially, cause it never gets as much attention.
As for the Red Carpet - I wasn't stunned by any of the dresses particularly...nobody really stood out this year.
My faves are all just people I thought looked really nice. Aubrey Plaza looked really pretty all dressed up...she cleans up nice when she's not April. Jayma Mays looked really nice too. I even thought Amy Poehler looked good in her blue number...or maybe there's something wrong with me. -Oh and I was disappointed in Dianna Agron this year, she's normally one I LOVE for fashion, but she still looked nice.
The interviews all sucked too, except for every Amy Poehler and Will Arnet one! Those two should have a talk show someday...or you know...host an awards show.
So overall....yay for the Modern Family awards! yay for Julie and Ty...I loved that Phil and Claire got awards...and that the show won. Yay for Mad Men...but maybe next year a different show will win, starting to get sick of those two hogging all the awards!
That is all.

Mis-Matched TV
So my tv viewing is all over the place lately! I haven't watched any more SNL -its taking too long to get. But I do have a couple lined up now from season 30. I finally got around to watching that John Adams mini series with Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney. I only got the first one at first, in case I didn't like it. But I loved it, so I got the rest. I watched the first one last Monday, decided to not watch any on Tuesday since I had The Big C to watch, and thought that'd be too much Laura Linney for one day. I finished the last 2 eps last night...the last one made me cry...it's pretty sad....but then again I huge sap! Such a great series!
Rizzoli and Isles was great last week. I LOVED the stuff with Jane's mother - as crazy as that is. But the sound was messed up and out of sync for most of the ep which was annoying. This week's ep was good, plenty of crazy Jane stuff. -But I just can't STAND Ed Beagley Jnr.....He drives me nuts!
I started watching Parenthood season 1 again the other week - I was going to keep going with Alias commentaries, but the disc wasn't playing nice, so I had to come up with something else...and that took my fancy. I can't wait till the new season in a week!!!!
Last saturday I finally got around to watching those last season 2 Alias commentaries. I had forgotten that they were good cast ones! Bradley Cooper was such a fanboy of his own show. -adorably weird! Eventually I'll get through all of them. -I also have a bunch of movies I need to get around to watching at some point! But I haven't had any time for tv lately, with working every day and spending my weekends out or busy with stuff.
I can't even remember when the Emmys are, or who is nominated! -not that I am really that excited for them this year.
I also have season 2 of Parks and Rec to start next. Ness picked it up for me at Big W cause it was on sale. I had a policy to not spend more than $20 for a whole season of a half hour show. I also just ordered a whole bunch of dvds from Amazon, S4 of PPP, Raising Hope, Wonderfalls, seasons 1 & 2 of IPS, and 3 and 4 of 90210.
Ness and I are almost done with season 6 of Bones...which means I'll be up to date for next season. YAY! But it'll be sad no to have so many eps to watch at once anymore. I can't believe I used to think I wouldn't like that show! But then again, I used to think I wouldn't like David Boreanaz on anything other that Buffy/Angel...I was wrong. I've fallen in love with the show! And the actors! Also best of all, I don't really know any spoilers and haven't through the whole thing. -Cept for Angela and Hodgin's baby, I didn't know anything. I mean there is something else that has come up, but I have no idea what the heck that means so it doesn't really count at all. I mean, I AM asking for trouble by following the guys on twitter, but soon it won't matter.
Also I've got to hurry up and get my media player soon. Especially cause I want to be able to watch the premiere of Grey's, and all my Friday shows on the big tv on Friday nights if I'm home.
Well that should be everything, hopefully I'll be able to be more regular with my blogging.

Summer TV is Almost Over!
I'm starting to get a little sick of my summer TV! It's all on 1 day, then nothing for the rest of the week! I mean yes, I am LOVING Rizzoli and Isles - last week's ep was awesome especially the ye olde costumes, that was TOO funny! This week's ep about witches was pretty good too, if not just for the cute little bit when Jane answered her phone 'Rizzoli' and Maura added "and Isles". But what is with Korsak and the animals? Last week birds, this week cats!
I like Weeds, but sometimes I could take it or leave it. The same goes for The Big C. I've been watching some quality SNL, but even that gets boring after a while. Otherwise I'm only watching Hot in Cleveland...which really sucks, and if I had better stuff to watch I wouldn't even bother!
I'm dying for my regular season shows back. Where there is more variety and they are more spread out over the week! Less than a month till Parenthood comes back. YAY! I'm most looking forward to Parenthood, Parks and Recreation and Private Practice coming back...and Grey's Anatomy too, to a slightly lesser degree. And I LOVED last season of Raising Hope, but I hope the 2nd season can keep up the quality standard of the first season. -The girls that play Hope are growing up and might not be as cute. Hah, but at least that's not what is holding up the whole show.
Speaking of TV babies it looks like plenty more Lucas this year on the PPP - but its all with Kate....is Addison kidnapping him?! hah. I've also been trying to be good and not reading about spoilers and storylines for all the shows. But I did make the mistake of reading 1 PPP storyline and now wishing I hadn't...cause while it didn't really give away much, its not at all specific and that leaves many potential ways things could turn out...and its gonna bug me now! -Still a month till that comes back too! Cause Grey's is getting a 2 hour premiere...which I'm sure will be awesome!
I don't even have any dvds to watch...I'm watching Alias commentaries, but thats not time consuming and I just watch them here and there.

TV Catch-Up
It's been a while since I've written about my TV. Its still summer tv season, so there isn't as much to watch and so not as much to write about. -The Emmy noms came out, and at least 1 of my 3 got nominated. Yay for Martha Plimpton for Raising Hope. But I still think KaDee Strickland was robbed for PPP! I mean if that didn't get her a nomination, what does it take?! I feel bad that everyone was talking her up, as being a potential nominatee. And Parenthood seems to be in the same group with PPP, not getting any big awards attention - but at least they both get some special awards for stuff that really matters.
Last Monday night I watched the Helpman Awards - Australia's version of the Tony's. It had plenty of good parts, but overall was boring as I only cared about the musical awards and spent most of the the time sitting on YouTube. It also went for ages so I ran out of time to watch In Plain Sight. So then that ate into my tv time Tuesday night. I ended up not watching Weeds and The Big C till Wednesday, but that actually worked out nicely. Other than those shows (and Rizzoli & Isles on Tuesdays), that is all the new TV I have. I have been watching some old SNL. I watched the Queen Latifah one from season 30 Sunday night. Its fun watching ones with Tina, Maya, Amy and Rachel in them.
And then when I'm REALLY bored or only have a little time, I've been watching Hot In Cleveland. It sucks, but not enough to stop me watching ...YET.
I've been watching the 1st season of Parks and Recreation on DVD. Luckily I finished it before I got this job -The same goes for Alias actually! I just finished the commentaries for P-Rex this past weekend. Overall the dvds are great especially for 8 bucks! The commentaries are great and with cast members. There are also music vids for Mouse Rat/Andy's songs. The Ann one is all cute Amy and Rashida bloopers/alternate takes. I really want season 2, but I'll wait for it to get cheap...I have principles. Not that 25 bucks is expensive, but it seems more than necessary.
Other than that there are no TV dvds I'm watching. I finished Alias -and while I remembered the last episode...I found myself not remembering a good deal of the last 2 seasons....also I could not for the life of me remember what happened to Sark!
Come September all the last seasons will come out on DVD. So I'll have lots to watch, and will have to find the time!
This week was the In Plain Sight finale. It was really good! I really thought they were going to kill Rachel Boston's character or Delia in that big hostage situation. But Brandi running out on her wedding and then Mary going into labor or having complications or whatever really works too! -I'm gonna guess that maybe we won't be seeing anymore Joshua Malina.
Well I guess that is more than enough for one blog post...I'll try to blog more frequently, so it doesn't get smushed together.

New Internet = TV Galore!
So my new internet was activated Monday, meaning I was able to start downloading my shows straight away this week –which is awesome as the family internet has been slowed! It means I don't have to pick and choose my shows anymore too!
So this week we started with a rather so so ep of In Plain Sight. Overall it wasn’t the greatest ep, it was just lacking something...I’m not sure what exactly. Maybe it was that Josh Malina wasn’t in it this week. Who knows.
Then there was the season 2 premiere of Rizzoli and Isles yesterday, I gotta admit I got hooked on that show. Sasha Alexander is so entertaining in it! They have some crazy dialogue on that show.
I finally watched new Weeds and The Big C tonight. Firstly, I’m not loving Weeds...but its slowly getting better, as it does every season. Hunter Parish in a giant clear inflatable ball in his underwear was interesting....I’m also liking grown up Shane. But how does Nancy still manage to make those coffee drinks to carry around, like she has since the beginning?! Crazy.
The Big C is a fun show. But I’m not used to Cynthia Nixon as a blonde...I know that’s her natural hair color and all, but she just looks weird without the red...but at least she doesn’t have the old Miranda haircut. Haha.
That’s pretty much the tv for the week...I hate that its all at the start of the week over summer. I’ve been watching the last few eps of Cougar Town in the meantime. Still got a few left, the last few haven’t been as funny as the older ones were.
In other tv news, the nominations for this years Emmys come out Thursday night, so that’ll be interesting to see who gets one. I hope Martha Plimpton, Lauren Graham and KaDee Strickland get nods, but they are long shots, well at least Lauren and KaDee are. But they both had stellar seasons.
