It is Official!

First off, sorry for the long break. I didn't feel like there was anything worth posting or sharing with you guys. I've been watching a few shows over the past month and will share with you now :).


Before I give you something worth reading or checking out. It's official chicks and dudes. It is official, Desperate House Wives has begun a very high speed decline. From the start of season 6 I knew I was not in for another entertaining season of DHW. The focus on the main characters has faded away to crap. They began introducing new characters that really have nothing that would keep you wanting to see whats going to happen the next episode. I was not quick to judge and gave it six episodes before I pulled the plug on that b*tch! I think I was fair with deciding not to ever see another episode of DHW ever again. They were not doing too bad end of season 5, and should have done the right thing and just gave us a proper finale. Now people won't say DHW was a great show anymore. Instead "DHW should have stopped at the fifth season". As much as I dig Drea De Matteo, introducing her didn't do the show any good, and did end up losing me as a fan either way.


A small update on the shows I mentioned in my previous blogs and how they are doing.


The Middle update

So far this show has been fun to watch. I haven't set a bar that high, knowing that it will probably never be a GREAT show, but more like a show that isn't painful to watch. The little kid though does tend to get a little annoying and should stop that whole whispering and repeating words cause its not as funny as they thought it would be.

Boy Meets World

I finally watched the last episode a few hours ago. I must say that I loved how we got to see the main cast grow up over the years. The character development was excellent for Cory's dad and Corys brother, Eric. When the show first started the father was never really that involved and Eric was close to a cameo. But they really did play it right and by the end of this show I can comfortably say Eric was one of my favorites! (FEHEHEHENEY!?!) Adding Rachel and Shawn's brother to the show wasn't a bad idea either.

The only thing that might have taken down this show ratings back in the day was the whole romantic side of Cory and Topanga. We all knew they were meant for each other, but wanted to laugh more than see Cory repeatedly assuring his love bird that they will end up together forever. Feeny was also a very lovable and respectable character.


Flash Foward update

Sorry, I lost interest in the 3rd episode. I was very wrong when I said this show might be the next Lost or Prison Break. This show had one of the best pilots I've seen in a very long time. The sad part is that the pilot might have been the climax of Flash Forward. What made me lose interest is the seventeen thousand story lines every episode. Not only that. But they are not as exciting as I thought they would be. The idea is fresh but the writers did get way too excited and messed up. I found my self having to focus very hard to remotely enjoy this "would have been".

'Til Death update

On a break again! Man this show's got the axe flying at it quiet fast. When they did get back, I realized the episodes were not as exciting as they use to be. They weren't bad,,, just not as good. But not bad enough for me to stop watching sexy Joely Fisher :).

Curb Your Enthusiasm update

Still running strong! If you haven't seen this show yet, stop messing about and start watching it. LD is really a genius.


One Tree Hill update

I have to admit but this show has to be my "guilty pleasure"! I don't talk about it because the only people who know how great it actually is are the ones who've seen it from the beginning. A major change in cast has taken place this season but the change was PERFECT. So PERFECT that I forgot we lost some of our favorites. The addition of smoking hot Shantel VanSanten was spot on! I hope they make her main cast cause she is the main reason I look forward every week for this show after the changes that have taken place. Also Jana Kramer is a little eye candy!
Bringing back Daneel Harris also made my day!

THANK YOU OTH FOR DOING IT EXACTLY LIKE THE FANS WANT!

except, you know... (trying to avoid a spoiler)

Anyway thats it for the the shows that I thought are worth mentioning.


On a side note. I was told Oz was a another great show that ended after 6 seasons in 2003. I watched the pilot a month back and definitely thought it was great. So will continue watching that today:) For those who are confused. Oz is like Prison Break except there is no break :) I think. Its life in prison. Not bad I hope.

I've also watched the pilot of 'It's always Sunny in Philadelphia' and kinda liked it. Hope I stay liking it :).

Curb Your Enthusiasm - Season 7 Episode 2


Okay, I am currently watch over 20 shows and I never thought I would be bringing up any of the stuff thats been running for a while now. But I really have to make an exception this time. I've been following CYE from the start and I always thought it was a great show. Larry David probably has one of them most repulsive, annoying and most irritating personalities ever on his show. I'm sure he's not the same in real life, but if he was that bad I wouldn't be surprised:). Anyway I've always enjoyed watching LD crossing the "red line" and going so far past limits that if the situations he puts him self in actually do happen in real life, the man would be losing friends and screwing his reputation by the second. In every episode, he does something incredibly stupid or rude, and when you think its about time he shut his mouth, he takes the word "rudeness" to the next level.

The most recent episode I watched last night entitled 'Vehicular Fellatio' really did it for me. If any of you guys out there fail to see the humor in this show you have to see the second episode of season seven. This episode is by far probably the most LD packed episode. This episode really defines LDs show. The man does not know when to stop and will be flying by you at 100 reasons you wanna stab him/second. You can be on your death bed and ask him for a can of coke. He'll go to the vending machine, get you one and make sure he doesn't leave the room before you pay him back.

Try giving this show a shot if you still haven't began watching it. Give this episode a shot in specific. If you love it then I suggest you start from the pilot, cause you're missing out on a whole lot of quality HBO.

Larry David has no limits - and will never fail to impress you:)

A month later...

And I'm finally done watching According to Jim and King Of Queens full season pack. It ussually takes me a day or two to finish one typical 24 episode season. But things have been slow on my side and I've been busy with a few non-tv related activities:) I'm kinda looking forward to this month cause I FINALLY finished my stupid thesis and will be handing it soon next week. It took a while, but finally its done. Sorry, thats not why I'm looking forward to September. I'm looking forward to September cause all the shows are back! I got this "cool" feeling inside of me when I saw the first episode of the second season of Sons of Anarchy. Man I dunno what it is with that show. But you cannot not feel some what awesome and badass when you sit and watch it. Its not all bikers and harley davidson loud noises bullshit. Its got an actual story line and a very interesting one. I got hooked from the pilot last season and could wait for season 2.

I also caught up with Curb Your Enthusiasm. Man I thought that show would never be back after the 17 year break LD decided to take. But its back packed with a suprise that made my day! You know what, fuck it. I have to spoil it for you since I'm sure you've already heard about the big news. Seinfeld is back! But not the actual show. The cast will be past of CYE this season and the best part is Jerry, George, Kramer, and Elaine will all be improvising! Yup, no script! Newman is back too:).

One Tree Hill, one of my favourite shows is back today. I don't care if you think its gay. Everyone who watched that show from the begining loved it. Yes you will think its not all ballsy if you see it on cable without knowing the history of what has happened to all the characters. As shows start coming back I'll post more often and recommend a few sitcoms and series old and new. I have about half a dozen sitcoms piloting this month lined up and if I see anything I like I'll keep you posted:)

I thought I'de give 'Park and Recreation' a shot. The one with Aziz Ansari, and Rashida Jones (The Office). I naturally thought it would be a great show since we got Aziz, but I was kinda dissapointed in the pilot episode. Its starts off funny, then god damn slow. Then followed by me turning the show off and never looking back again. You know me, if it ain't got it, then I ain't gonna watch it. Its ratings weren't all that great anyway, no wonder it took me a whole year to realise the show exists. Its missing the Michael Scott element we see in 'The Office' and it will never be no where close to that show.

I've lined up over 100 movies I'll be watching over the next 3-4 months, and as usual only 20-30% if not less will actually deserve a recommendation. So I'll hopefully be updating more often.

Stay tuned and thanks for reading:)
