My 90210 fangirl was happy tonight as I watched North Shore (quite possibly the worst show I have ever forced myself to watch) — Shannen Doherty is back! And she’s bitchy! And manipulative! Just like Brenda!

I loved when she first stepped out of the car and said “Beats the hell out of Beverly Hills.” So cheesy yet so awesome.

The show will still get cancelled, though. That’s for sure.

Ahhh, I’m feeling much better now… as I should after spending the past 4 days at home! Whee! I just love playing hooky from work and lying in bed watching my Sex and the City DVDs all day. Mmm.

So there was new TV tonight! I caught the premiere of the North Shore… and I guess it’ll do for my cheesy summertime drama (I’ve pretty much given up on Summerland — it was just *too* bad). The show reminds me a lot of NBC’s Las Vegas (Josh Duhamel, baby!) with the hotel/casino setting and the focus on the employees and guests. The storylines of the pilot were pretty bad (especially the Lamborghini situation, the celebrity visit and the Jason/Nicole love story) but… it was pretty! Hawaii looked breathtaking and the bartender, played by Jason Momoa of Baywatch: Hawaii fame (WHAT!), was definitely easy on the eyes. I’ll probably tune in solely for him. Heh.

I’ve also been watching Joan of Arcadia (Keenai, you would be proud :D)! I’ve seen 2.5 episodes (Recreation, half of State of Grace and Double Dutch) and so far I love what I’ve seen. Although… I really have absolutely no sense of the backstory (like what happened to Joan’s dad? and what’s going on between Joan and Adam?). Does anyone know if CBS is going to rerun the first few episodes again this summer or should I just break down and start downloading them?

Many, many thanks to my buddy Siobhan for the gorgeous card from Paris! 😀 I just got it today. Very exciting!
