Many thoughts on many shows

So I have totally been watching TV, I promise… I am just not glued to my computer anymore. I guess that could be a good thing or a bad thing. I do miss listening to the radio all day and watching so many TV shows but I am also glad to be moving around more and losing weight from simply not being sitting around all day. So… here are a few thoughts on some shows I’ve been watching and a few thoughts on other stuff I’m sure you want to read about…

Heroes:

• I love Peter Petrelli. Honestly, without him, I wouldn’t watch the show.
• I read that they are going to kill off a Hero this season and I think it’ll be Hiro. It’s supposed to be one of the original heroes and that it’ll affect quite a few people. Makes me kinda sad but Hiro’s been getting pretty darn annoying lately. At least we haven’t had to watch Ando… which kinda makes things better.
• Claire’s lesbian kiss was weird and they didn’t even address it after it happened. Very very weird. Also probably unnecessary. Anyone else with me on that one? If they are going to develop a gay storyline, they should do it right, not sloppy.
• Sylar. WELCOME BACK BABY! I love Sylar and I’m happy that he’s having a come back.
• I think the carnival people are a bit freaky and weird and I’m not sure if I like them yet. That head leader guy seems like a real douche. I don’t know if I think that because I’m supposed to think that or if it’s just something that I’m catching that others don’t agree on. Eh…
• Can’t wait til tonight’s Halloween episode!

Castle:

• I stopped watching Castle after the 2nd episode of the season and I don’t even miss it. I do follow Nathan Fillion on Twitter so I guess that makes it OK for me to quit. Sorry Nathan. I loved you on OLTL but Castle is just another boring procedural show.

90210:

• I haven’t seen a single episode this season nor have I heard anything about any of the episodes. I’m guessing that it’s not that interesting… which doesn’t surprise me since the first season was only so-so.

Bones:

• Are we ever going to get some Booth and Brennan action? I know that everyone said that Booth would get over his love for Brennan but it doesn’t look like it’s going away. Will it ever go away? Are we ever going to see them together?
• I LOVED the storyline about the devout muslim who faked an accent. How awesome was that!? Living in a state where religious is pretty much ridiculed, I completely understand why someone would do that. I hate it when people criticize my faith. Who are they to decide what I should believe in? Yay writers of that episode!
• Annoying screechy girl is back. You know the one, the psychiatrist’s girlfriend. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing but I did have a good laugh when Bones and that girl were going a bit apeshit over the cover of some anthropological magazine. Lovely entertainment.

Criminal Minds:

• I’m tired of Hotchner. I wish he’d leave the show. Maybe he can go where his ex-wife and kid are? I’d really like that.
• The girl who plays JJ has lost weight. She looks lovely. I also love the bangs on her.

CSI:NY:

• I find it very unbelievable when characters on TV are paralyzed and the next day they are walking with a cane. Get real folks. It’s not very believable at allllllllllll… Ugh!
• I should quit this show because it’s getting pretty lame. Sad!

Gossip Girl:

• I heard that the show has lost a lot of viewers. It doesn’t surprise me. It’s like Dawson’s Creek. It does well when they are in high school and then when they go to college, it’s totally lame.
• Blair and Chuck are pretty boring. Blair manipulates Chuck, Chuck manipulates Blair… what else is new?
• Serena is still lame and retarded. Why do they write her as a complete idiot?
• I like Hilary Duff’s character. I hope she’s around all season.

Law & Order: SVU:

• Yay the evil witch DA is gone! I hated her from the moment she arrived. Of course, my husband said that I was supposed to hate her… so I guess I did a good job!
• I would like a few Finn and Munch episodes, please. Give Olivia and Elliott a break please!

Lie to Me:

• The season has been OK. I could probably quit this show too because it’s not that awesome.
• Are the two owners of the Lightman group going to hook up? I think they want each other deep deep down inside. Anyone else with me on that one?

Mad Men:

• Holy smokies! This show is so freaking awesome.
• I love to hate Don Draper but I also hate to love him! It’s so frustrating!
• I wish Betty would have slept with that politician guy. It would have been so nice to see after watching Don cheat on her time and time again.
• I don’t like the name Eugene either so I don’t blame Don for hating it.
• Does anyone else think that Don hates Roger because Roger is just an older version of Don? Don probably sees himself in Roger in the mistakes that he’s made. Can’t wait to see that blow up!
• There are only 2 episodes left and I haven’t even watched the one from last night. What the heck am I waiting for?

Medium:

• I finally started watching the new CBS season of Medium. It’s ok. Another show that I could probably drop. Honestly, why do I keep saying that and I don’t actually drop them?
• Patricia Arquette has new hair.
• The acting is just as unstimulating. Eh.
• I’ll give it a bit longer before I give up.

NCIS:

• Ziva is back and I still love the dynamic that she has with Dinozzo. I wish they’d finally kiss and make up and do the nasty. You know they want to. Has anyone else noticed a theme in pretty much all shows? There’s always a hero and heroine that love each other but don’t admit it. Oh the sexual tension!

Private Practice:

• Violet is annoying with her whole “my baby was cut out of me and I’m crazy now” story. I wish she’d just be cured already. Maybe this week after the trial she’ll look at her kid?
• The dude from Wings is also getting pretty annoying. I liked him better as the playboy. He’s now just a boring dad. Eh. See what kids do to you? It’s not pretty.
• Please give Addison a love interest. Give her that heart surgeon, give her a new man… give her someone. I’m tired of listening to her feel sorry for herself.

The Mentalist:

• Simon Baker is hot. I love him. I would totally have his babies… but the show is getting old real fast.
• I will probably keep watching it though because Simon Baker is hot and I love him and want to have his babies.
• Please not that babies make people boring (see Private Practice notes above) so I don’t really want his babies.
• Simon Baker is hot hot hot.

Ugly Betty:

• At the end of last season, I was ready to give up on Ugly Betty. Happily, the season started and it was better than I anticipated. I like that Betty’s look is changing. I like that her ex is a dorky douche. I like that she’s friends with her old boss. I like that she’s been promoted!
• I still love Mark and that blond chick. Honestly, I can’t think of her name but she’s gorgeous (Becky Newton is the actress). Oy. Anyway, they are still awesome. But I do think that Mark needs some kind of promotion as well. He deserves it.
• Wilhemina’s daughter’s murder storyline is lame. But I’ll take it because the rest is good.
• Will Daniel get another love interest? Hmmmm…

Grey’s Anatomy:

• I like the way they are hiding Ellen Pompeo’s surgery and hope that they can keep it up nicely until her return from maternity leave (which you won’t actually see because they were pretty clever when getting the schedule done)
• I’m happy that Izzie is gone but I’m sad to learn that she’s coming back. Boring!
• Alex needs a new love. I thought I liked him with Izzie but it’s just lame now. They made him into a jerk jerk and not a fun jerk. I liked him with Addison. Too bad she’s in LA and he’s in Seattle. Lame!
• Bailey is not up to the normal standards these days. I wish they’d pull her back together, give her a bit more comedy and let her care again.
• I kinda miss George.
• I still hate the new folks from the other hospital.

I will probably post about my soaps later but my hubby is waiting to hang out and today is his birthday so I guess he deserves a bit of my attention! Take it easy folks and I swear I’ll try and post more often. Maybe I’ll start doing a once a week thing? Mondays maybe? That could totally be easier than writing a post for every show. Hmmm… I might be on to something! Maybe I’ll even start rating the weeks to see which weeks are better for each show!

Criminal Minds season finale

So my sister sents me a text that says “OMG Criminal Minds… OMG! WTF!?!” and she twitters about it and I’m like “hmmm… maybe I should rush home and watch the finale!

I started to watch the finale last night around 10pm. I was afraid it would keep me up late (which it did) and that it wouldn’t be worth it… and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

So the episode was about a serial killer (a Canadian one at that!) who controls his mentally disabled brother into doing his dirty work… He’s paralyzed from the neck down and he’s a crazy mess. Apparently he has smuggled many people over the Canadian border from Detroit and then does scientific experiments with them. He then feeds them to his pigs (he lives on a pig farm). Anywho… they find out that the brother is not right in the head and that the quadraplegic in the bed is the culprit… who then gets shot by the brother of one of the victims. Bla bla bla. It was ok but I don’t think it needed to be 2 hours.

Now the ending is the part that is so “OMG! WTF!?” Aaron Hotchner goes home after wondering how much more of this horrible crap his team can take… and as he’s about to take a drink a masked killer steps out from behind him, tells him that he should have made a deal and there’s a shot fired (although we don’t know who fired the shot or who was shot).

Ok… so that person with the mask is a serial killer from a few episodes ago. He’s the one who goes after the people on the side of the road, I believe, and Hotchner wasn’t willing to make a deal with him and he escaped prison. I think that’s what he did. Anywho… my husband has been thinking about his killer since he escaped prison because every single episode since he got away, Patrick has been saying “is that the killer who got away!?” Finally, he got his wish and the guy came back for the finale.

My guess is that Hotchner is not dead and he’ll be in a coma or something when the season restarts and then they’ll go after the dude. Eh. I don’t really care if Hotchner dies or not so it’s cool. I kinda think of David Rossi as the boss of the group.

Side note: the killer is from Boston.

Second side note: Thomas Gibson, the actor who plays Hotchner, lives in San Antonio, TX.

Last of the vacations

Again, I had another vacation and was away from the blog… well, it wasn’t really a vacation, my family was visiting from Texas and we were spending time with them so I didn’t have the opportunity to sit at my lovely computer (with a new clicky mac keyboard, by the way!) and type out some updates… so here’s a conglomeration of updates all in one post. AMAZING!

Grey’s Anatomy: Wow. Hunt totally choked Cristina! I couldn’t believe it but I had a feeling when he was staring into the ceiling fan blades that we was feeling quite murderous. I thought that Cristina would be able to handle it but in the end she was scared to fall asleep by his side and she broke up with him… of course this only happened after some sweet sexy time on their behalf. Now Hunt is going to try and get some help because he realizes that he can’t control his PTSD and needs help from Shepherd… WHO IS BACK! Derek is back to being his amazing surgeon self. He operates on Izzie and the woman survives and is tumor free. We learn that she’s tumor free when Derek is proposing to Meredith in the elevator. I think they are a really boring couple but the proposal was somewhat cute. I’m glad they ended the episode with Meredith and Cristina together. Meredith kinda happy about her engagement and Cristina torn about her break up. It was very nicely done. Other stuff that happened… Karev realized that he does want to be with Izzie and goes to be with her right after her surgery. He also spooges into a cup so that her eggs can be saved for the future since her body will be ruined and ravaged by chemo and all the other chemicals and poisons they’ll be dumping into her body after the surgery. George acts like a big baby which makes me hope that he’s leaving soon. Callie and her girlfriend are becomign boring and they’ve been together like 2 seconds. There wasn’t a preview on next week (since there isn’t an epi next week) so I have nothing to post on that.

Private Practice: Addison swears that she’s not a cheater (although she totally cheated on Derek… skank!) but she’s totally attracted to this Noah person and wants to take all her clothes off and rub up against him. Sadly, her patient, Morgan, is married to Noah which complicates thing. Addison then tries to avoid the love and raises her eyebrows a lot. Violet is jealous of Pete and Pete’s new love interest, a patient’s mother. Violet is the most boring pregnant person ever and I want her to get a DNA test done on her child so that we can know once and for all that Pete is the father. We never see Sheldon so I truly believe that Pete’s the baby daddy. Anyone disagree? Charlotte and Violet are now BFFs for some reason and it’s weird but they are spending more time together and it’s freaking out Cooper. In the end, Charlotte and Violet kinda have a weird falling out and Cooper gets Charlotte to go do the nasty (as usual). Naomi is still the same desperate woman she’s been in recent episodes and now she’s showing lots of cleavage which I find kinda gross. She’s slutting it up when her husband clearly still has feelings for her. I guess this is a reversal of what happened earlier when she was crushing on him and he was being all slutty? Boring and repetititve. Blarf. No scenes from next week since they are the same as GA.

Secret Diary of a Call Girl: Well, the season is now over for Secret Diary. First we had Belle meet a boy and fall in love with him… then he found out that she was an escort and dumped her ass… and now she’s trying to go straight so that she can get him back. In the last two episodes, he gets back together with her when she promises not to slut around anymore. Sadly, she’s tempted by an offer to have one last job and she finds out that her “last job” is actually Alex, the boyfriend. He realizes that she loves her job more than him and they break up. She ends up writing a book about the whole experience and ends up on TV saying that she’ll never give up slutting it up. Very entertaining show but I don’t think I’ll watch the next season. There’s only so much escorting they can show on a tv show. Will there even be another season?

Criminal Minds: I know this show isn’t awesome to blog about but I had a weird experience with my TiVo last week when I was watching the latest episode. I started to watch it and there’s a dude who’s starting a fire in a movie theater while there are peeps watching The Blob… It’s all very dramatic and the music is creepy… You can’t really hear voices because the music is so loud and creepy. Then they show the team talking and I still can’t hear voices. That when I realized (with my mother and sister) that there was no primary sound. There was only the background music. So I figured out how to put the closed captioning on and my mother narrated part of the show until I couldn’t handle it anymore. We ended up watching it on youtube which isn’t the best way to watch TV but whatever. It was pretty hilarious. I hope this wasn’t a TiVo problem because I’m starting to think that Tivo blows goat nuts and I wouldn’t want that to happen. I think the problem lies with Comcast, the worst cable provider on the face of the earth. They suck.

Samantha Who?: SW is back for another season. They are strangely on a Thursday night now since ABC is fucking with their Thursday lineup (weird)… In the episode, Samantha is still just as annoying as before but she’s now realized that she hearts Todd and he’s sleeping with some chick that looks pretty much exactly the way she did when she had long hair. Coincidence? I think not. Andrea is just as weird and quirky (she’s probably the best part of the entire show) and has a gay boyfriend. Eh… I think this show is losing my interest. I’m not sure if I’ll continue watching it. Anyone else watch it that might want to vouch for it?

I still have so much to watch and I promise that I’ll be sure to post more as the week goes on. Sadly, we sold our couches so I have nothing to sit on in my living room while watching TV at night. We’re getting new couches on Saturday so maybe I’ll save as much TV as I can for the weekend. We’ll see how I feel about it. Wish me luck on the waiting part.

Forgetful blogger

I feel like I haven’t posted a real post in a while! Oops! I’ve been lazy lately and so I’ve let the blog go. I’ve watched a few shows lately but for some reason, I still haven’t watched Heroes from last week. What is wrong with me!?

Here are a few thoughts on a few shows that I’ve watched recently. Sorry it took so long to pull myself together to post!

• Private Practice: Addison is now flirting with a married man… not only is he married but he’s married to one of her patients!! I was actually liking the patient AND liking the man who was flirting with her and now I’m not sure how I feel about it at all. According to the previews for next week, it seems that she’s going to want the man and she tells the patient to get a new doctor. Ethical? I don’t think so. Violet doesn’t want a paternity test because she’s a selfish biatch that is getting on my last nerve. Next week on PP:

• Grey’s Anatomy: Izzie finally found out that she’s got some crazy cancer that has spread to her brain and that the survival rate for this cancer is only 5%. She decides to tell CRISTINA of all people. Cristina is still wanting to Owen even though he practically throws her against a wall when she interrupts one of his crazy dreams. Derek is still acting like a douchebag because he suddenly realized that he’s not God (surprise surprise!!). Meredith is still being the same boring person that she is in every single episode (I swear… if this show wasn’t called “Grey’s” Anatomy, I’d say that it was time to get rid of her).  George is the same ignored character. The chief got on my nerves for being so childish and they are ruining Bailey by making her fight with him and be just as childish as him. Oh man… I have a feeling this show isn’t going up but it’s starting to go down. They need to spice things up a bit. This episode was basically just a bunch of loose ends being tied with no interesting storyline. Boring. Get with the program! Next week on GA:

• Law & Order: SVU: I’m tired of the Olivia Benson/Elliott Stabler show. Whatever happened to Finn and Munch? I want to see more of them and less of Benson and Stabler. They used to be way better about splitting the cases and now we’ve barely seen the two wacky sidekicks. Also, Alex Cabot, the ADA who was protected by the witness protection program came back after the last ADA (who was incredibly boring and didn’t have chemistry with anyone on the show) left to go back to Washington, DC. Alex is off her game and the cops are wondering why she didn’t come back when she got out of witness protection 3 years ago. I wonder the same thing… Oh well, we’ll see how long she lasts since they are calling her “temporary” as of now.
• House: House and Wilson go see his brother in NYC. Wilson’s brother is off his rocker and House is kinda there for Wilson to lean on. It’s nice to see them out of the hospital. I’m not sure if that happened this week or last week! We finally got a break from watching Foreman and 13 do their thing… which makes me happy. Oh yeah, there’s a case with a man who can’t stop saying what he’s thinking.  He’s alienating his wife and child but he just can’t stop. He’s House! It’s great. I love the comedic timing that this actor has and all the jokes that were told that are basically what the rest of us are thinking but nobody says. I am really enjoying the humor that the writers try to infuse into the show. It makes it different from all the other doctor shows out there.  I can’t wait for next week’s episode:

• Bones: I wish the people producing/directing/writing the show could figure out who they want to replace the crazy dude (Dr. Zack Addy) who went to prison for being a serial killer apprentice. Instead, every week we have a different quirky person there and we wonder “is he forever?” but he’s NOT. And then the next week we get another quirky person and bla bla bla. It’s getting old. Bones and Booth are still the same with their great chemistry. Sadly, we haven’t seen much of Angela lately and that makes me sad because she’s quite interesting. I wish they’d give her another story. I also wish that she was still with Hodgins because I think he’s the funnest person on the show. Is it me… or has there not been an episode of Bones for a while until Thursday? I can’t remember! Next week on Bones:

• Criminal Minds: We finally got a storyline that was based around Emily Prentiss’ personal life. When she was a teen, she had an abortion and her best friend who helped her take care of it was also a Catholic. She leaned on him and it made him question his faith when the church wasn’t so cool with the abortion. In the end, the best friend was murdered during an “exorcism” by a priest who was wacko. The team then sets off to find out how they can collar this bad priest and we get to see Prentiss freak out and be the control biatch that she is. It was nice to see her in another light because she was getting pretty bland. I still like Spencer the best and hope we get another story with him soon. I also wouldn’t mind if we got a story that put Hotchner back with his wife and kid. Wouldn’t that be lovely? Next week on Criminal Minds:

I’m also needing to catch up on Law & Order, CSI: NY, CSI, Heroes, Lie to Me, and Ugly Betty… I may have missed a couple because I’m off my game. Argh!

Hero Complex

Does anyone else think that Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds has a serious hero complex? Why does he always have to jump on the moving train to catch the bad guy? Or run after the bomber? Or driver the ambulance that’s rigged with the bomb to save the others? Why? It’s annoying… and now we’re going to be treated to another “love” story with him and this new agent in the BAU. Boo. I wish Derek Morgan would get killed and we could get another new hot guy to fill his spot. I think that Forbes March would make a really sexy FBI agent. What say you, people of the Criminal Minds watching world?

Criminal Min…

Yeah. That’s basically what Criminal Minds was like for me… cut off before I could see the end. I started watching the show not even remembering the season finale (because I watch too much TV and it’s hard to keep track!) And suddenly I am forced to watch George W. Bush’s ugly face talk for 15 minutes. Of course, I’m watching this on my DVR so I watch Bush in FF and notice that his facial expression is the same during the entire speech. In fact, I’m not sure he really moved at all. It kinda looked like South Park-ish but for the president.

Anyway, so the announcer says that we can now watch Criminal Minds in its entirety AFTER the Bush crap. Of course, my DVR can’t hear and understand the announcer so the last 15 minutes of the show were cut off. I had to call my sister to find out that Morgan drove the ambulance away from the hospital and everyone is fine. How boring is that? And why didn’t we get to find out who was in the hospital? Maybe it’s the nosy side of me that made me want to know that more than anything on the entire show. It was a boring season premiere. I’m disappointed in Criminal Minds. Boo.

Premiere week

I was so excited about premiere week and I still haven’t had the chance to watch everything off my DVR. I haven’t watched SVU yet which is one of my favorites ever… So much has been going on. A close friend of mine was in a coma and passed away on Saturday so I was a bit preoccupied.

Overall, here’s a mini recap of my thoughts on the shows of the week:

Life: Still love it. Can’t wait to find out more about the girl in the wall.

Heroes: Many thought it wasn’t that good of a premiere but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see more and learn what’s up with Mohinder’s grossness.

House: Still haven’t had the chance to watch this week’s episode yet.

Gossip Girl: LOVE the new biatch in town. Oh wait… that’s just Serena pre-boring Dan.

Privileged: Still enjoying this series. I’d like to see more between the two sisters and find out what the big deal is between them. It has to be more than just stealing a boyfriend. Right?

Lipstick Jungle: I can’t believe Cain Rogan (husband of Nico) is dead. Is she going to run back to her young lover? What will happen with Topanga? Is she going to have Cain’s baby? Eek! Can’t wait to see more of this show!!!

Law and Order SVU: Haven’t watched the episode yet

The Mentalist: Simon Baker is hot. I love this show. He is pure hotness.

Jon and Kate plus 8: Rerun… or it’s just a “new” episode that shows clips that we’ve seen in previous shows. Boring. I didn’t even bother watching.

NCIS: Haven’t watched yet

Ugly Betty: Cute and funny… as usual. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Betty and her new independent life. Her aparment looked great after all that fixing up.

Grey’s Anatomy: More hot army doctor please (he’s the Scottish guy from that Patrick Dempsey romance movie, by the way).

Criminal Minds: Haven’t seen it yet

This upcoming week is filled with more new season premieres. We have Dirty Sexy Money, The Starter Wife, Samantha Who?, Private Practice, The Ex List, and I believe the CSIs start this week as well. Get excited! More TV! Man… I have a whole lotta catching up to do in the next few days!!!

Also, I’m still watching Bones on DVD to catch up. The season 3 DVDs won’t come out til November but that’s ok with me.

Season premiere info!!!!

I thought it might be time to post about season premiere dates and times for my shows… So take a look and get ready for the fall! Keep in mind, I’m putting all the times in EST (that way you  know and I don’t have to write it out again and again).
