So much has happened since I last wrote, but my little guy has been keeping me busy. The older he gets the more energy he has and the less he wants to nap. However, his early bedtime has allowed me to keep up with all of the premieres that have aired over the past couple of weeks. I have been impressed, underwhelmed, and very disappointed with some of the shows. After this week, I am dropping one of my go to shows because I am that upset about what the writer did. For those who have DVRd your shows, this post is going to be full of spoilers so prepare yourself....
1. Glee- AMAZING!! I love this show. I can never get enough of it. Maybe it's because I secretly wish I could actually sing and unlike some reality show contestants am well aware that I cannot carry a tune. Rachel's new "friend" in NYC is so much more attractive than Finn and I am ready for that relationship to blossom. I must admit I am not a fan of Kurt. Never have been. I liked him a little bit more when he started dating Blaine because I think Blaine is amazing, but now that it seems their relationship is on the rocks, I am over Kurt. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Blake and wonder what his character will be. I am curious to see where the rest of this season goes.
2. Modern Family- The premiere was okay. I definitely laughed. I was also surprised, but it was a little choppy for me. Am I the only one who doesn't like the girl they cast for Lily? I know she is a smaller role on the show, and she's a child, but I think she is a terrible actor. I mean if Full House could find the Olsen twins, can't Modern Family find someone? I was wondering if Gloria and Jay were going to have Mitchell and Cam adopt their child since they lost the one in the hospital, but it seems that is not going to happen based on the first show. Who knows. We will see what happens...
3. Castle- In my opinion, one of the best shows on television. I cannot get enough of this show. Due to the Packer game that ended with the worst call ever, I had to wait until Saturday to catch this gem, but it was worth the wait. Finally, Castle and Beckett are making things happen and I am LOVING it!! This was one of the two shows that got it right on the premiere. They brought the end of last season and the beginning of this season together and tied up lose ends. If you don't watch this show, you should.
4. Scandal- My husband and I started watching this show last year, and I fell in love with it. However, I will say that now when I watch any presidential convention/debate I think to myself "I wonder what is happening behind the scenes when the cameras are off?" Kerry Washington is perfect in this show. This is the second of the two shows that got it right. I am more intrigued than ever to find out what Olivia knows about Quinn and who she is covering up for. Again, if you have not seen this show, you should check it out. Anyone else hooked on it yet?
5. Grey's Anatomy- Shonda has lost a viewer. I am so over this show. First of all, enough of the accidents. It is so unrealistic to think that the same hospital has a hostage situation, and constantly has coworkers getting killed in accidents. I am over it. I loved Lexi and when she was killed off the show, I said to my husband I am done. I thought I would give the first show a chance to pull me back in, but then the death blow for me was killing of Sloan. On top of that, I was left confused and full of questions. All these new characters were introduced and not one of them is intriguing. I officially have given up on this show. Anyone else as disappointed as me??
6. Dancing with the Stars- I realize this is just a reality show, but I love it. I was impressed with all the talent on the show aside from Pamela Anderson who looked lost and made me feel uncomfortable watching her. She was terrible. Also, who is voting for Bristol Palin???? She is not good.
7. Dexter- Okay. I have no spoiler here because I didn't watch the premiere yet, but eventually I will catch up to the current season. My husband and I kept hearing rave reviews about this show, so last year we started watching it. The season 4 finale left me so angry that I boycotted the show until last week. I liked Rita A LOT! I wasn't happy about her being killed off the show so I refused to watch it anymore. Brion kept nagging me about it and finally I gave in. We are currently about 6 episodes into season 5 and again I am getting reeled back in. I really like the show, but I don't handle suspense and killing all that well so I spend a lot of time with my head buried under a blanket or behind a pillow. Regardless of my fears, Dexter I am glad to be back!
I have left out some of the other shows I watched, and I am sure I missed other great ones. Anyone have recommendations?? I tried 666 Park Avenue but sci-fi/horror shows are not for me. I watched it in the middle of the day and was still terrified. Happy watching everyone!
