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.

Thursday Nights Are Alright!
So I'm so happy to have my Thursday (Friday, Aussie time) night tv back! Grey's Anatomy's 2 hour season premiere was awesome. So Meredith went crazy...and hid the very very super adorable baby Zola when the social worker was onto the fact that Meredith and Derek were separated. Alex helped...and seems to have sorta smoothed things over with the gang. Oh and there was a giant hole in the ground! That was cool.
Community is still weird, but likeable. There's always something that's entertaining about it. -And so far there is plenty of Annie, which I like! Last week's ep with Britta in the cage was HI-larious! I couldn't stop laughing!
Having been watching seasons 1 and 2 of Parks and Recreation on dvd over the break, I was a little unsure how how things ended last season...but I quickly got back up to speed. The scenes with Ben and Leslie were toooo cute....I really like them as a couple! I hope they don't keep them apart!
Private Practice was back last week. FINALLY! I was going crazy...luckily I had season 4 to keep me sane. I finished the last ep before watching the first ep of season 5 -which I LOVED by the way! Charlotte was being very cute...she found the funny again! Amelia cracks me up, even when she's drunk and bleeding! Awesome! I liked the refs to the last 2 season finales with death and tragedy for the gang...and it was refreshing for Addison to not be responsible for saving any lives for once! She just got to hang with the cutest little boy on tv Lucas. -I totally have a baby crush on him! Poor Cooper...bad doctoring Sam...look around before yelling CLEAR! Oh yeah and Pete is okay...but we knew that'd work out.
-So overall I didn't miss Naomi at all....which is a little sad. Benjamin Bratt's character turned up right at the end....and I gotta say, I'm not on board with him yet. Especially since he's jumping into the middle of the credits, between Tim and Paul, in my book that's not so cool, to get higher billing than characters that have been there 4 seasons already! But maybe Shonda will make me love him! Who knows, but so far season 5 is off to a great start!
In other non-Thursday night tv news - I gotta talk about the Weeds finale....cause ooooo that was an awesome way to end it. It works as a series finale, or as a season finale....its about time someone tried to blow away Nancy. She's getting to big for her boots!
Oh and also....The Big C finale! I sorta saw the end coming, but when it clicked right at the end...I burst into tears! It was so sad. Enough with the ultra sad season finales!!!!
Ep 2 of The New Girl wasn't much better...I hate to admit that I don't think I'll be able to love that show. I do love Free Agents - which means it'll get the axe...but its not THAT good, that I would be overly upset. Up All Night was better last week too! But way too many SNL people for 1 ep!
Modern Family is a bit bleh these days. Its lost something....
I watched the first ep of Suburgatory - its not terrible, and could be good. We'll see.
I also thought the season premiere of SNL with Alec Baldwin wasn't THAT great, and wasn't that funny overall.
Idina Menzel was back in Glee last week - that was awesome, but I'm still not sure about Glee as a whole. It could go either way at this point.
And lastly, I got a major kick out of all the short jokes in last week's ep of Raising Hope! I do love that show to pieces!

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!

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.

No time to miss the old shows...
....It's straight into the new ones! Weeds and The Big C were back this week. Big YAY!
Weeds is still not as good as it was in the early days, but it was entertaining enough. The time jump was good...Nancy was out of jail 3 years later, and the boys are coming back from Denmark. Not a lot else happened in the first ep, but it should get better when they all get back together!
The Big C was good, I didn’t expect Marlene to be appearing this season...having died in the season finale, but for the first episode at least, she was haunting Cathy! Not sure where they will go this season, but I had forgotten that Cynthia Nixon was in it...glad I finished Sex and the City a while ago.
In Plain Sight was hilarious this week! Well...Joshua Malina was...that line about “lose the shades 00-asshat!” cracked me up, and that whole scene had to be re-watched a few times! Mary’s pregnancy is also now out in the open...we’re over halfway through the season now, I get sad when there are less eps left than we’ve seen with this short season shows...they just never seem long enough!
I also watched a few more episodes of Cougar Town this week...hopefully I'll be caught up with that soon...although its nice to have something waiting...there isn't a lot else that I haven't already got!

Bye Bye Tara!
So this week was the finale if United States of Tara (and Nurse Jackie) and since Showtime decided not to renew it for next season, the episode served as the series finale as well. I’m very sad it’s gone; it was a great show, that was very different. While it took me a few eps to get used to all the Alters, I grew to love Alice, T and even Buck! Over the course of this 3rd season, the abuser alter Bryce killed off Chicken, Gimmy and Shoshanna. By the finale he was killing off the original 3 too. It was really sad.
Overall I think it ended quite well, yet could have gone on with another season maybe as well. Charmaine and Neil were going to Texas, Kate was moving on with her own life – and decided to stay and take care of Marshall, and Tara was going to Boston to get the help she needed with Max. It did feel quite finished. I liked that the 3 original Alters were in the back of the truck when they left at the end, that was cool/nice.
I’m sure the cast will all move onto new things, looking forward to seeing where Brie Larson (Kate) heads next.
Guess I should also comment on the Nurse Jackie season finale while I’m here....
I spent the whole first 20 minutes of the ep going...something better happen, it’s not feeling very season finale-ish. Dr Cooper’s not wedding was boring, and the whole thing was nuts anyways. Finally things started to heat up when Kevin showed up at the hospital with the girls, and just when you thought Jackie’s affair was gonna come out, Kevin dropped his own affair bombshell! Crazy. While I have always liked this show, and it makes me laugh, it was not as good this season, and in some ways I feel that it was not as deserving of a 4th season as United States of Tara.
My early week Showtime fix will not suffer, with Weeds and The Big C coming back this week. YAY!

Golden Globes 2011 -Awards Recap
I still can't believe they asked Ricky Gervais back again this year. He was just as naughty, and just as entertaining as last year.
Social Network and Glee hogged most of the awards. Yay for Aaron Sorkin, Jane Lynch, and Chris Colfer.
While I was happy that Glee won, I thought that some of the other shows deserved it more. -I thought it was Modern Family's turn or that it would go to The Big C.
-I was so glad to see Chris Colfer win he did a great job this season. Plus he definitely won best acceptance speech. -Too adorable.
-Glee had 2 tables, so they had the biggest cheer squad of any group...or at least the biggest that got to actually cheer!
I was glad Laura Linney won for The Big C, but it sucked that she wasn't there (I'm guessing she was in NY with her play). She always gives good speeches.
-I was just super glad Piper Perabo didn't win for Covert Affairs....I like the show and all, but the others were much more deserving.
While I am not a fan of The Big Bang Theory, I can appreciate it. While I didn't care if it won or not, I find it really really interesting that the show has started being nominated 3 seasons in. I have found that usually shows get nominated in their first and second seasons, and then the nominations start to die off. But for a show to start getting recognition so late in the series run, it gives me hope for some of my other shows that have never gotten the recognition they deserve.
-Kaley Cuoco presenting the award to Jim Parsons was adorable by the way. Its nice to see actors so happy for their co-stars.
In terms of movie awards. I actually hadn't seen many of them this year. In terms of big awards, I'd only seen The Social Network, and The King's Speech.
-I was glad that Colin Firth won for TKS. He was really good in it.
-I thought Love and Other Drugs was good, but not really that great, so I wasn't fussed about that not taking any awards.
-Yay for Toy Story 3. I've loved those toys for years and that 3rd movie was heartbreakingly awesome.
Overall not the most exciting awards. I think I'm just really nostalgic for the good old days when Sex and The City and all those others used to get nominated, and ruled the awards. They seem to be all over the place now, and kinda boring. There were not even that many presenters of quality this year...especially not THAT many from NBC!
Bring on the SAGs.
