So I forgot to mention in my earlier TV post that Rob and I actually watch Monk and Psych on Fridays in addition to the rest of our TV schedule. The seasons are already underway so I didn’t really consider them part of the new Fall season. Oops. I guess I watch more TV than I thought.
Oh, and yes Ricardo, I AM in the CW demographic! Their sweet spot is 18-34 and I’m only 29!!! (For the next few days, at least, lol).
I watch so much TV that it’s hard to do detailed commentary like I used to years ago when I wasn’t so lazy. So I thought I would do a TV report card instead with some brief thoughts. YAY!
One Tree Hill – C-
Same ole earnest (but totally unrealistic) show. Not enough happy Haley. Way too much Quinn and Alex. I don’t like it when new characters take up too much screen time. And as much as I love Brooke/Julian, I have to admit they have no storyline — all they do is smooch in every scene. But that doesn’t make me any more excited to see how Alex’s interaction with Julian will affect his relationship with Brooke. Can’t the writers come up with something different? I mean, ANOTHER love triangle?
Gossip Girl – B
They might as well give Nate his own show – he practically never interacts with the rest of the cast anymore. Still enjoying Serena/Carter but Serena herself makes me roll my eyes. There’s always something wrong or missing in her life and it drives me crazy. Blair/Chuck can do wrong. Love Blair’s college storyline so far — definitely interesting to see her realize that college is a great equalizer. And Scott and Georgina can go far, far, far away. Those 2 characters BUG ME!
Big Bang Theory – B-
I’ve only seen 2 episodes so far (missed the premiere). It’s not quite enough to judge since I don’t know the history of all the characters but I do know that Raj is my favorite character.
CSI: Miami – C
What is happening with Calleigh and Eric? Why did they barely talk in this week’s episode? I really liked them together. *sad* Also, new CSI Jesse (Eddie Cibrian) is nice eye candy but I can’t help but think “CHEATER!” for a split second when I see him onscreen. I’m not so good with separating TV characters from the actors portraying them.
Heroes – F
I know I said I wasn’t going to watch this show but Rob does so I watch it by default. I don’t understand why Claire always gets saddled with SUPER annoying friends. First it was West back in season 2 and now Gretchen. ?!? Claire was my favorite character in the first season but now… UGH.
So You Think You Can Dance – B+
I like the hour-long audition episodes much, much better. Thank goodness! 2 hours was waaaay too long for me. The first Vegas episode was good but I want to meet the Top 20 already!
Glee – A+
Ahhh, SO GOOD. As much as Rachel was starting to bother me in the last few episodes (the ME ME ME storyline was getting old), she totally redeemed herself in this week’s episode (“Vitamin D”). I really liked that she reached out to Quinn the way she did. And OMG, her daily morning routine was totally spot-on. Loved that. Sadly, I still can’t support Will and Emma. I know they’re cute (and Terri is EVIL) but at this point, it’s cheating. :/
Cougartown – B
Watched the first 2 episodes. Funny! Courteney Cox’s son is the best. Love his dry humor.
Modern Family – B+
Grade is only on the basis of the second episode. Pretty freaking hilarious. The guy that ended up with 3 bikes cracked me up so much. I’ll have to try harder to remember when this and Cougartown are on — I totally forgot this week.
Eastwick – D+
I wanted to love this so much… but it’s not really “capturing” me. I mean, I love the witches but not their respective storylines. Take Kat for example — she seems like a fab character but she is stuck with a moron for a husband. Hate him. And Roxie is awesome too but her interaction with Darryl Van Horne irks me somehow. Too much sexual innuendo and dialogue that makes me roll my eyes. I haven’t seen this week’s episode yet, though, so maybe it’ll be better than the first two?
That’s it for now. Part 2 later when I’m not so sleepy…
Hahahahahahahaha…ok, ok…you are still in the demographic…even when you turn the BIG 3-0!!!
psych is awesome…i figured you guys would love that show…so many pop culture references
modern family is so freaking funny…and sofia vergara is so funny! 🙂
This is the first season of SYTYCD where I haven’t watched the audition episodes…no time! 🙂 I’m waiting to meet the Top 20 already too…then I’ll start watching regularly. Any early favorites so far?
Glad you liked Modern Family! Keep watching! It really is the best new comedy series this season. Try checking out The Middle too…I have to say it’s quite entertaining as well (check out my blog for my posts on it).
Heroes…eh. Last week’s ending with Sylar “coming back from the dead” was pretty good. But that’s about the only storyline that’s worth watching right now. Let’s hope things pick up…
GLEE! Love it! I just LOVE all the musical numbers…whoever decides what songs they cover on this show is doing an AWESOME job! I love Rachel…she’s definitely irritating, but that’s part of her charm. 😉 Love how they brought Kristin Chenowith on too.
I’m totally with you on Eastwick. I keep taping it, but I really don’t love it. I keep hoping it’ll get better…so far it’s just beeen “eh.” Haven’t watched this week’s ep either tho…you never know…!
Oh man, another vote for Modern Family. I’ve heard great things about this show but I have no time Kel! No time! As for Gossip Girl (I’m finally caught up, yay!) I totally agree about Nate. It’s too bad because I’ve always been a Nate fan but he’s barely in the episodes and when he is, it’s like they have to force his storylines in all awkwardly.
Happy Birthday Kelly!
