Stop Those Shenanigans

My Aunt Margot recently requested that everyone start writing in their blogs more. I said 'okay' and then waited a week or so to comply but LOOK at the progress I have made tonight. Below are 3 more blogs all freshly written. Since there may be another drought a-comin' you may want to read them slowly. Maybe space them out a few days in between reads.

So not only has my aunt been feeling abandoned but also the TV shows that I watch. I haven't written about them in weeks! I feel ashamed to say this, but I am overwhelmed by how many shows I am attempting to watch this season. The damn writers strike got my schedule all messed up last season and I started watching a bunch of new shows to fill in the void. Now they are all back and I just can't keep up! My DVR is at an annoying 50% full ALL THE TIME. Now to many this may not seem like a big deal but one thing that drives me crazy is a full DVR. And no matter how hard I try to watch and watch every time I go back its back at 50%! I'm just gunna keep chugging along and watching and hope I can beat it some day, preferably before I move and have to give it back to Time Warner Cable (evil entertainment conglomerate that they are).

So a review of my shows is definitely needed. As I sit and watch Pushing Daisies I realize I can not possible write about all my shows so I will keep it to the ones that had memorable quotes this week (or last) that made me laugh.

"If you thought that was long you have no idea what you're in for" - Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl.
I absolutely LOVE him. His character makes the show for me. I don't care who he is seducing or destroying he does it with style and grace and it's absolutely amazing. I also like the friendship blossoming between Dan and Nate and think they are both adorable as well. I could do without the Jenny story line but every show has it's downfall. Overall it's an A.

"He's like the fuckin' witness whisperer." -Deb, Dexter
For anyone who hasn't seen this show they really need to go out and rent the 1st season on DVD. It's so good and the critics seem to love it also! I don't want to give away too much from this season since I doubt anyone has Showtime and watches it but everyone should! Dexter is a serial killer with a moral code who works for the cops. Michael C Hall does an amazing job with the character and the whole show is a joy.

"A man should know never to grab another man's cape." Nathan Scott, One Tree Hill
"Apparently you have everything backwards, so come on in." Brooke Davis, OTH
Everyone knows OTH has my heart but in the last couple episodes they were killing me. bad. But they redeemed themselves this week by ditching some bad story lines and giving the characters some decent material. PLUS Dawson (from Dawson's Creek) is going to be on the show which is awesome! I hear he's in town this month it would be so cool to see him!

"High Five Turtle." Matt Parkman, Heroes
Every time I see the show I am a little more confused about what is going on. But I read other blogs about it and figure it out later. Still like show but they really gotta work on being a littttle more specific. Kristen Bell will be back next week which makes everything OK.

"Stop being such an Indian Giver!" Gio, Ugly Betty
I miss him! I want a campaign to bring Freddy Rodriguez back to Ugly Betty! He makes the show better every time hes on! And thank you for the throw back to the term Indian Giver! When was the last time you said that? 4th grade? I think it's makin a comeback.

"Was I humming? I thought that was in my head!" Walter Bishop, Fringe
He is one of the best new characters on TV this season! I love him! The show is awesome with good stories, and great mysteries (just like JJ always does) and the characters rock. Possibly the best new show this season.

I would also like to mention that not 1 but 2 different shows incorporated MMMBop into their programs this week. Chuck and House. Thank you for that, you have no idea how happy that made me.

Lastly, I would like to mention one of my favorite shows this season is getting dramatically close to being cancelled, Life on NBC. It's in it's 2nd season but the 1st was cut short due to the strike. Damien Lewis plays the main character, a cop who was put in jail for like 10 years for a crime he didn't commit. He was exonerated and has now returned to being a cop. He loves fruit and the zen.
It's quirky and funny. It makes my Fridays happy.
