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!

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!

Kudos to Tommy

I just watched last week’s Law and Order: SVU. I love Olivia’s hair. I’m so jealous. Every time I look at her hair, I turn green with envy. It’s awful.

Also, GO TOMMY! He kicked Elliot Stabler and broke 2 of his ribs. That’s kinda what I’ve been wanting to do with him since all the episodes are centered on him.

I am happy though because we finally got to see some courtroom action and see this new ADA in action. She’s pretty so I’m enjoying her. She also doesn’t agree with Elliot a lot and that works for me.

Side note: Where are Munch and Finn? I want more of them and less of Stabler. Stat.

Law and Order: The Stabler Show

Has anyone else noticed that Law and Order: SVU has turned into the Elliot Stabler Show? We are finally getting to meet all his kids and learn more about him… but what about everyone else? Why aren’t we learning more about conspiracy theories from Munch? Why aren’t we finding out what the H is going on with Finn’s department transfer? Why haven’t we seen them do ANYTHING this season? Why aren’t we getting to see more of Olivia’s personal life since we have to suffer through Elliot’s? We’ve also barely seen the Captain since the season started. I need to see more people. I need to see Dr. Huang. Where’s the medical examiner?

Other BIG question… Where is the other half of the show? I know they got a new ADA. The new girl, I have no idea what her name is, is supposed to be some badass from DC but we never get to see her in action. We’ve barely seen her at all. I know she’s supposed to be butting heads with the others but we never see her so there’s no butting going on. Boring.

Mariska Hargitay’s hair

I swear… I hate Mariska Hargitay. She has perfect hair. I hate her. In every single of SVU she has the most gorgeous hair ever. Damn her!

I guess it doesn’t help that I’m growing my hair out right now and it looks like a horrible wig. I hate my hair.

At the Emmys looking perfect as usual.

With perfect hair as Olivia  Benson.

Honestly… why can’t my hair look like hers? In fact, why can’t my body looks like hers too? LOL

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.
