I&#8217;m pretty much snoozing right through this season. The only housewife I&#8217;m remotely interested in is Bree.<\/p>\n<p>10:00: <i>Grey&#8217;s Anatomy<\/i><br \/>\nSnappy dialogue, great music, and those crazy interns&#8230; SO MUCH LOVE for this show. Seriously, it just keeps getting better and better each week. And they did a Christmas-themed episode! What&#8217;s not to like here?<\/p>\n<p><b>Monday<\/b><br \/>\n08:30: <i>Kitchen Confidential<\/i><br \/>\nI&#8217;m glad I got to see the Michael Vartan episode before FOX pulled the plug on the show. That was freaking hilarious. *sniff* RIP KC. I hope Bradley Cooper finds another show soon. He&#8217;s too gorgeous not to be on TV!<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>Prison Break<\/i><br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t think this show would last on my schedule but it&#8217;s really grown on me. The eye candy (Wentworth Miller!) doesn&#8217;t hurt either. I&#8217;m finding the conspiracy against Lincoln really intriguing (even though I think Lincoln himself is annoying) and the prison break-out really suspenseful. I&#8217;ve even really grown to like the little band of inmates that Michael has put together, especially Sucre. Yay cellmates!<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>24<\/i><br \/>\nYES!!! JACK BAUER IS BACK!!! I don&#8217;t care how implausible or unrealistic this show is&#8230; I LOVE IT.<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>Related<\/i><br \/>\nThis is another show that I never ever thought would last more than a few episodes. It&#8217;s not all that well-written and 1 of the sisters bugs me (Rose &#8212; it&#8217;s like she&#8217;s too perfect or something, argh) but I find it really endearing. The sisters&#8217; relationship definitely carries the show.<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>Las Vegas<\/i><br \/>\nMy &#8220;fluff&#8221; show. I watch when I can but don&#8217;t really care all that much if I miss it. It&#8217;s all about Josh Duhamel for me, anyway. BUT. I can&#8217;t believe that Monica (Lara Flynn Boyle) died the way she did. It was very&#8230; anticlimactic. She flew off the roof of the Montecito, people. And it didn&#8217;t even look real. I&#8217;m ashamed to admit that I had to stifle a giggle.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tuesday<\/b><br \/>\n08:00: <i>Gilmore Girls<\/i><br \/>\nThe season didn&#8217;t start out very strong (read: I was a little bored) but it&#8217;s turned itself around. I&#8217;m not too sure how I feel yet about Luke&#8217;s daughter storyline. My initial reaction was &#8220;WTF! This sucks&#8221; but I&#8217;m willing to see where it goes and how it affects the wedding. I don&#8217;t think the wedding will happen as planned, though. (And I hope Lorelai gets a new dress cause the one she bought is AWFUL). Still indifferent about Rory, though. She totally lost me this season with her brattiness.<\/p>\n<p>08:00: <i>America&#8217;s Next Top Model<\/i><br \/>\nPretty happy with Nicole as the winner. She doesn&#8217;t really come off as a model in person but she really rocked her photos. And did an amazing job at the last runway show. I would have liked anyone but Lisa or Bre to win anyway. I was secretly rooting for Kim, though. And is anyone still wondering who the heck stole Bre&#8217;s nutrition bars? I want to know!<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>Supernatural<\/i><br \/>\nAnother unexpected hit. I just love the snappy banter between the Brothers Winchester. SAM&#038;DEANRSOCUTE. The urban horror legends do give me the creeps sometimes (hey! I&#8217;m a fraidy cat!) but I think that&#8217;s part of the fun.<\/p>\n<p><b>Wednesday<\/b><br \/>\n08:00: <i>One Tree Hill<\/i><br \/>\nEvery week I vow to stop watching (I hate Brooke\/Lucas and I wish they would give Peyton a better storyline) but then they give me an episode like <i>How A Resurrection Really Feels<\/i> and I get sucked right back in. I mean, Nathan\/Chris hijinks and Nathan\/Haley lovin&#8217;? I can&#8217;t resist. I will be an even happier camper if Brooke\/Lucas break up. Pretty please?<\/p>\n<p>08:00: <i>The Apprentice: Martha Stewart<\/i><br \/>\nSadly, I never got around to watching this show. HEHE.<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>Lost<\/i><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t like the tail-enders. Well, except for Eko. Everyone else&#8230; ehhh. Especially Ana Lucia. She killed Shannon! Yes, I am still BITTER.<\/p>\n<p>10:00: <i>Alias<\/i><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve enjoyed the season so far and I really like the new additions of Rachel and Tom (it&#8217;s kinda too bad the show is ending because I really would have liked to learn more about them). It looks like the show is going to go out with a bang, though, which I&#8217;m really happy about. Loved the surprise of Irina in the last episode and I hope to see more familiar faces before the end (Will, Sark, Nadia, Weiss, Vaughn).<\/p>\n<p><b>Thursday<\/b><br \/>\n08:00: <i>Smallville<\/i><br \/>\nI&#8217;m enjoying this show more than I have in&#8230; oh, about 3 seasons. Lex&#8217;s turn to the dark side and James Marsters&#8217;s guest spot can really do that to a show. PLUS. They had the BEST Christmas-themed episode this season. Really. <i>Lexmas<\/i> was amazing. Not just for the ridiculously happy Lex\/Lana or the return of the Clark\/Lex friendship but for the whole revelation about Lex and why he chose the path he did. *wibble*<\/p>\n<p>08:00: <i>Everybody Hates Chris<\/i><br \/>\nI watched the premiere and it was DAMN funny. But unfortunately, I just kept forgetting about it. :\/ When the show comes out on DVD, I&#8217;m definitely going to pick it up.<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>The O.C.<\/i><br \/>\nCan Johnny go away?! PLEASE? He BUGS. I&#8217;ve been a huge Marissa apologist for the past few seasons but I think she may have reached the end of my patience. Her displaced loyalty to Johnny gets on my nerves (Poor Ryan). Now Taylor&#8230; didn&#8217;t like her at first but I take it back. She totally rocks. I hope we get to see more of her. I&#8217;m pretty wary about Kaitlin&#8217;s return. I mean, do we really need another snotty teen drama queen? I&#8217;d love for them to bring back Teresa instead. I want to know what&#8217;s going on with her, damn it!<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>CSI<\/i><br \/>\nMy only complaint is that there has been very little follow through with Nick&#8217;s kidnapping\/buried alive storyline. We got little hints when the tape revealed an accomplice in the premiere and then when Kelly visited Nick at the lab but that&#8217;s it. They just keep stringing us along! I hope it&#8217;s worth it.<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>Everwood<\/i><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s been so good this season. *happy sigh* <i>Getting To Know You<\/i> was so great with Ephram telling Amy he&#8217;s still in love with her. Awww! However, Reid is still around I&#8217;m sure that Amy is someday going to find out that Ephram asked him not to date Amy anymore&#8230; EEEK. I wish it would come back sooner than March, though. Stupid WB.<\/p>\n<p>09:00: <i>Reunion<\/i><br \/>\nDamn FOX. Why&#8217;d they have to cancel the show?! I want to know who killed Sam! And why Craig is in a wheelchair when he can walk! And why Jenna is mad at Craig! They had to cancel it right when the mystery was getting interesting. So frustrating. \ud83d\ude41 And now I&#8217;ll probably never get the answers to my questions.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s that. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Yay Golden Globes tonight!
