Random TV Thoughts...

April 17, 2008

Yes this week's posts are sucking wind but it's a work thing. Next week may prove even worse but maybe not. For now here are some random TV thoughts after sipping on the morning coffee and reading the gossip.

Not a big Idol fan, only catch it in passing but I'm going to go on record as thinking the little boy who looks about 12, David Something-or-Another is going to win.
Ever stop to consider how much that show penetrates the American psyche? I mean I don't even watch it, I flip past it .. but yet I feel like I get enough of it from every other source in the Universe to have an opinion on the contestants. Weird.
A 90210 remake/sequel? Why? Dear CW, please please don't. It was good. I loved it, watched it all the time - but it's over. Don't beat a dead horse. You have Gossip Girl. It's the new 90210. It's fabulous, in fact better than 90210 ever because it actually "goes there" and doesn't have Aaron Spelling sanitizing it for us.
Speaking of Gossip Girl, when is that show back???
ER - Why can't I quite you? I don't even like you anymore but I feel committed. Note to writers: I really really really don't care if Maggie self-destructs again. Really. Whatever, have her drive off a cliff, something. Much like Carter's old storyline you've over played it about 8 times and I no longer care. Please just stop and make the last season interesting next year.
Big Bang: The immediate success and the time you had to enjoy it during the strike hasn't helped your writing. Maybe you were so well liked you got the attention of the studio execs and now your suffering for it but who knows. You're overplaying Sheldon to the point where he's not that funny anymore. His genius was in his subtly. Focus on Leonard and Penny and let Sheldon be hilarious in small doses on the side - it's what got you where you are today.
HIMYM - Awesome
Thanks goodness ABC is coming back next week. I'll have to set the DVR before my trip.
Have you looked at NBC's schedule? Seriously I think they've just given up. How many times a week can you air Law and Order? There should be a law. Someone should be fired.
Survivor: Still love you but seriously those were the best fans you could find? It seems like you randomly picked them off a forum board somewhere. Most never stood a chance. Waiting for Alexis to bust out as a contender. Love that you are showing Ponderosa video on the net.
Big Brother: It was impossible to try to top last season and Dick but you've made a good effort. Despite your best efforts to give Natalie a "made for her" HOH challenge she got booted out. Amen.
