The show has continually gotten better and better with each episode. I may not necessarily like the direction of some storylines (Ephram\/Madison and Andy\/Linda) but I appreciate that the characters are being true to themselves. I do miss Colin, though. *sniff* <\/p>\n<p><i>Las Vegas<\/i> &#8211; Truly a guilty pleasure. \ud83d\ude00 It&#8217;s not really a great show plot-wise or anything (it&#8217;s usually downright predictable) but I think it&#8217;s a lot of fun. Plus, Josh Duhamel!!! LOVE him. He&#8217;s adorable.<\/p>\n<p><i>Skin<\/i> &#8211; I didn&#8217;t even get the chance to watch a whole episode before it got axed by FOX. I recorded the pilot (never got around to watching it and I probably taped over it) and watched about 15 minutes of the second episode. What I saw had potential though I didn&#8217;t fall in love. I enjoyed Adam Roam however. *g*<\/p>\n<p><b>Tuesday<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Gilmore Girls<\/i> &#8211; I haven&#8217;t been watching this show faithfully like I used to. This season hasn&#8217;t grabbed me at all. I don&#8217;t really enjoy Digger or Marty and I wish there was more Lane and Paris. And as much as I love Rory, the girl is getting on my nerves. <\/p>\n<p><i>One Tree Hill<\/i> &#8211; OMG. New obsession. The show didn&#8217;t jump out at me right away but I kept watching (pretty much only because it airs right after GG and 24 hadn&#8217;t premiered yet). After a few episodes, the show seemed to find its legs so to speak &#8212; the improved writing has made me care about these characters. I&#8217;ve also found my ship of the season on this show &#8212; Nathan\/Haley. LOVE. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><i>24<\/i> &#8211; Still on my &#8220;must watch&#8221; list. But it still consistently gets me frustrated. I&#8217;m frustrated with Jack&#8217;s stubbornness, I&#8217;m frustrated with Kim&#8217;s hair, I&#8217;m frustrated with Tony&#8217;s condition, etc. etc. But I guess getting emotionally involved in a show is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p><b>Wednesday<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Smallville<\/i> &#8211; I&#8217;ve enjoyed all the episodes this season so far, with the exception of the totally random retro episode. The most recent episode, <i>Shattered<\/i>, rocked. The acting was fantastic, there was lots of Clark and Lex (and even Clex!), and the storyline was actually captivating &#8212; something I was seriously missing from this show. My heart seriously hurt after seeing Lex at the end. *sob* Can&#8217;t wait til January.<\/p>\n<p><i>The O.C.<\/i> &#8211; *sigh* I adore this show. And I love Seth\/Summer even more. Die Anna die! hehe. I&#8217;ve been hooked ever since it premiered back in August. It&#8217;s just excellent cheeky fun. \ud83d\ude00 But if TPTB mess with Sandy\/Kirsten &#8212; %$^#@! There will be hell to pay.<\/p>\n<p><i>The West Wing<\/i> &#8211; I watched the premiere and that&#8217;s it. \ud83d\ude41 I always forget that the show is on, probably because it&#8217;s on at the same time as <i>The O.C.<\/i> I still *must* purchase the s1 DVDs but the show just doesn&#8217;t have the same magic that it did for me in the earlier seasons.<\/p>\n<p><b>Thursday<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Friends<\/i> &#8211; I have to say that I was definitely not a fan of the Joey\/Rachel romance so I&#8217;m glad that it was over and done with quickly. I adore Monica\/Chandler so I&#8217;m happy to see them with an ongoing storyline this season. I can&#8217;t wait to see Chandler (he&#8217;s my favorite friend!) with a baby. Too cute. I&#8217;m so going to miss this show next season!<\/p>\n<p><i>Tru Calling<\/i> &#8211; Saw the premiere and wasn&#8217;t compelled to watch any episodes following. My Eliza love can only go so far. I&#8217;ve read the FOX ordered 7 more episodes. Wow. I totally didn&#8217;t see that coming. I thought cancellation was on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p><i>CSI<\/i> &#8211; Still rocks. And now there&#8217;s Xander Berkeley (Mason from 24)! Though I found <i>Fur and Loathing<\/i> to be rather strange. Oh, and there just needs to be more Warrick. Thanks.<\/p>\n<p><b>Friday<\/b><br \/>\n<i>Miss Match<\/i> &#8211; This show is sooo cute. I love what I&#8217;ve seen but honestly? Friday nights just don&#8217;t work for me. I think Kate and Michael are gorgeous together, though, so maybe I should make it a point to record the show so I can see if anything has happened with them. Anyone know?<\/p>\n<p><b>Sunday<\/b><br \/>\n<i>American Dreams<\/i> &#8211; My precious precious show. I am alarmed that NBC has cut this season&#8217;s order from 22 to 18. It breaks my heart. I think this show gets better and better each week. I love everyone in the Pryor and Walker families and I hope that NBC realizes that there are many more stories to tell.<\/p>\n<p><i>Alias<\/i> &#8211; Still a can&#8217;t miss show for me but I don&#8217;t obsess over the show as much as I once did. My Syd\/Vaughn loving heart just can&#8217;t take it! lol. But seriously, I still have yet to fully accept the 2 year time jump. I still feel a little cheated. I wanted to see Marshall and Carrie have a relationship! I wanted to see Dixon get promoted! Agghhh&#8230; useless resistance, I know. <\/p>\n<p>Phew&#8230; even though I dropped a few shows, I still watch a ton of TV. I&#8217;m an addict, hehe.<\/p>\n<p>Still feeling sick. Bah. I need to lie down. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since it&#8217;s close to hiatus time, I thought I would do a little mid-season commentary of all the shows I started to watch this season&#8230; Monday Everwood &#8211; My saving grace this season.
