Instead of doing a long winded post about one show, I’m going to do a short post about several of them. Things that are on my mind but I don’t feel like spinning out for a thousand or so words if you will.
Dirty Sexy Money
Farewell beloved Darling family! Last night news broke that Dirty Sexy Money had been canceled. They’ll film the 13 episodes they had approved for this year and that’s it. I’m very disappointed by this, for along with Gossip Girl, this show was my guiltiest pleasure. It was soapier than both my daytime soaps combined and everyone was so shallow and fun. The only good thing to come out of this is perhaps Days could hire the DSM writers to spice up the show? HAHA Wishful thinking I know!
What I’d like to see when the show ends? I’d like to see Karen and Nick decide to make it happen. Or at least one hot sex scene (me and the sex demands lately!). I’d like to see Brian step up as the family leader, he is too awesome to be pushed aside all the time. I’d like to see Jeremy actually doing something other than falling in love with a woman. He’s been in love with 4 or 5 in the brief running of the show. I’d like to see Nick’s wife die. Sorry, I don’t like Lisa George. I’d like to know definitively who killed Dutch George. I’d like to see Simon exposed as the bastard he is and Nola free of his tyranny. I’d like Patrick to become his own man, drop politics and win back Carmelita. I’m sure I could think of more but that will do for now.
Pushing Daisies
Another show given the ax by ABC yesterday. I don’t have a lot to say about it because I only watched sporadically last season and not at all this season. It’s one of those whimsical shows that people supposedly either love or hate, but I, of course, fell right down the middle. Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. Whimsy isn’t really my style. I feel for the fans though, I know what it’s like to have a show you love yanked before its time.
Grey’s Anatomy
I’m not sure what show I’m watching here. Is Daddy Winchester haunting a hospital now? Why aren’t Sam and Dean running around Seattle Grace? It makes more sense than what Shonda is doing to this show. Izzy is seeing dead Denny and even made love to him last night. YAY! A plot ripped off of General Hospital is surely the way to go, Shonda! Dear lord. She thinks she’s telling a great love story, no doubt, but I think she’s lost her damn mind. I loved Denny…they killed him and that was that. He appeared in Meredith’s (also lame) death, but at least that sort of made sense. Having Izzy be able to touch and make love to him now? No. You’ve ruined what was a great story, memories of Denny’s death are being replaced by a grinning ghost Denny. Sigh.
And while I’m ranting about Grey’s, WTF was with having Lexie actually perform an appendectomy on Meredith’s new, very annoying, friend? Lexie, overachiever, perfect student? I don’t buy that for a second. And I know the chick pushed her by starting the cut, but still. I loathed this plot line and the fact that apparently all the interns get to keep their jobs. I did like Meredith, Christina, Alex and George attempting to channel their inner Bailey on the interns, but heads should have rolled.
Bones
One of these days I’ll have to attempt to do a whole blog on Bones, for I love this show. The chemistry between Booth and Brennan is outstanding. She’s just hilarious, brilliant but so socially inappropriate. My complaint with this one right now? Angela. I have never been that into Angela but I liked her with Hodgins. They had what was probably the lamest breakup since that Jonas brother broke up with that Swift chick in a 20 second phone call and now she’s hooked up with her old girlfriend. I don’t care that she’s with a woman, but the bouncing from Hodgin’s right to the other chick is just annoying. And because I can’t talk about Bones without just saying this once, SWEETS! hee I love that guy.
Gossip Girl
Yep, it’s my other guilty pleasure. I am so in love with Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf that I can’t stand myself. They’re like the Cruel Intentions kids personified, without the icky step-sibling factor thrown in. If the show ditched every character but the two of them, it would be enthralling. I don’t mind Serena either, but her new boyfriend, Aaron, is a total skeeve. I hate that guy. And it’s not like I was a big Dan Humphrey fan either. He was a sanctimonious jerk but she occasionally made him likable, unlike Aaron. The whole Humphrey family, minus the father, is useless in my eyes anyway. Bring on the Basshole and forget about the rest! While I’m on that topic, I adore that ad campaign for GG that uses Britney’s “Womanizer” song with all the Chuck scenes, never was an ad more apt and perfect. I love Chuck Bass.
What’s funny is that I loathed him in the first episode, but over time he’s been fleshed out and just become more and more fascinating. Throw in his wacky clothes and smarmy moves and he’s just character perfection. I can’t wait to see him and Blair hook up again.
How I Met Your Mother
My other favorite male man-whore is Barney Stinson. NPH makes this entire show. The Barneyisms, the bromance, the Happy You’re Not a Father’s Day, Suiting Up!….it’s all legen….wait for it….dary! That’s really all I have to say about the show, I adore it, but Barney is totally my guy.
Desperate Housewives
Enough gushing, back to ranting. Why did they slam Mike and Katherine together? There’s been no build up and we barely see them together, so I’m not sure what the point was. To annoy Susan? That’s not hard.
I love Edie’s husband and I guess he’s after Mike, that’s been established. Why is beyond me. I thought maybe he was the husband of the wife that Susan killed in the car crash but then he’d be targeting her. I think Mike killed someone in prison and he talked about his brother dying in prison, so I guess that is. Yay, another mystery involving Mike’s past. That hasn’t been done to death.
So now Carlos is going to be able to get his eyesight back? Um okay. They’ve done a good job of making Gabby look frumpy but I find her wholly uninteresting now. I need scheming Gabby back and her kids? Good lord.
Alright, that’s enough rambling. Now you know some of the other shows that get my time and attention. I am a TV Junkie as you can see, for there are others not covered here as well. If people like this I’ll keep it going and update on various shows weekly or bi-weekly. Let me know!
