Yes, I realize it's been a month. And yes, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. And if I had time I'd worry about it. But I don't, so you all can just deal with it yourselves, mmkay??? Moving on...
This post will mainly focus on CSI: Miami and the Bachelor from last night, but I just wanted to run down a couple little things first. To start with, Studio 60 is my new favorite show. I don't know quite why, but I love it. And last night's episode was probably their greatest yet. The old guy made me cry. I know it's pitiful, but he did. Sadly, my tape did not work, but that led me to realize that full episodes are available online, so you no longer have any excuse for not watching. So there. Second, The Class is really hitting it's stride, but they need to tone down the laugh track just a little bit. In the age of Arrested Development, it can get a little bit annoying. And finally, can someone please tell me what's up with Jack and Ann's baby on Without a Trace??? Is she still preggers? Are they still together? I'm so confused!!!
Okay, but main theme today is guilty pleasures, of which I watched many yesterday while eating coconut chocolate chip cookies out of a Hefty Zip-Loc bag (You know those huge ones that show moms on commercials like packing all their kids clothes for camp or something and they stay completely dry? Yeah, well, the children in our family have never really liked sleeping outdoors, playing games, or indeed other children, so we fill ours with cookies.). They were good.
As was the main view of the evening, the too-good-to-not-write-about CSI: Miami. Some woman ended up dead by a golf club that's of course owned by the bitter ex-husband who is, by default, completely innocent. But that's not the important part. She was into this crazy voodoo Catholic shit that involved goat's heads and teeny coffins.
Two things.
1.) I'm sorry Delko, but that stuff is not Catholocism. Although you may be confused, as you seem to think we embrace having sex with strangers when work gets tough, too.
2.) Tell me, where does one get a severed goat's head in Miami (or any city for that matter)???
Delko totally buys into it, and pretty much refuses to have anything to do with the case. Ryan is all, "Pssh. Whatev. There is no curse," until a "dead" body wakes up in the morgue and he screams and runs like a little girl. No, really. He's hopping over stuff and knocking other stuff over. It was freaking hilarious. Then he goes pretty much batshit crazy and automatically accepts everything that comes with the curse.
Oh, and he and Delko have to go invetstigate a graveyard. At night. Alone. With the fog. And they don't want to use their flashlights, for no reason other than it would make way too much sense. And then they find a dead body. Which, of course, has been hatcheted to death. They almost wet their pants. Hehe.
Best part though had absolutely nothing to do with any other storyline except a one-sentence thing about revenge. They discover there's a bomb in a car. Oh no!! And they only have four minutes to difuse it! Well, clearly this will not work, and Horatio must take matters into his own hands!!!
He miraculously drives ot the middle of nowhere (in Miami? In four mintues?) and then saunters (no, really, he saunters!!! I'd be tripping over my own feet trying to get away from there, but he even does the sunglasses thing) away from the car, which immediately explodes in this absolutely massive fireball that should have incinerated him, but doesn't because even fire fears H. And then he goes...
...
...
...
wait for it...
...
...
...
"Burn baby burn."
*dies laughing*
That, quite possibly, made my month.
Final guilty no-I'm-not-watching-that-why-what-have-you-heard??? show was The Bachelor: Rome, which turned out to be not so much a guilty pleasure as a guilty boring hour of self-absorbed not terribly interesting Paris Hilton clones. The only funny part is you get the feeling that they all think they're going to be real princesses. But it made me want to clean my room, which a good TV show should never do.

Massively Huge Premiere Week Wrap-Up
Because I was too busy actually watching all the premieres to write at regular intervals. Sadly, I was not able to take a couple weeks off of school and work just to absorb all the juicy goodnes. Oh well.
On with the shows---
Tuesday:
As you've probably realized, I'm going to do days instead of individual shows, because that would take way longer than I have before math starts.
House was awesome, except euthenasia makes me feel icky. It just does.
Main view of the evening (or rather, the next day, because I had to work), was Boston Legal, which came back in true form with that hands guy being arrested while with a sex therapist because he has this doll that he treats like a wife. Except for the sex part. Which is good, because I was this close to throwing up already. Best part of the night? When Denny introduces Shirley to his custom-made doll, Shirley Schmidtho. I'm still giggling.
Oh, and Michael J. Fox is back and being tried for trying to buy a lung by paying some guy's kid's college tuition.
I'd just like to say that while I'm generally against selling pieces of yourself on the black market, the tuition bill for next semester should be arriving soon, and my father has at least one kidney that he's not using and can be reached through this blog. Let me know. ;)
Also, Parker Posey left, which is good, because she annoyed the hell out of me.
Note: Imladris and Daddy (also has two lungs---give me a call!!!) watched Smith, too, and said that it was extremely mind-numbingly dull and boring. So I'd pass if I were you. Watch Denny Crane instead.
Wednesday:
Gah, so much to watch!!! We began with Bones, which was creepy and excellent, and now definately in my top Five Favorite Shows of All Time. Or At Least On Right Now. Whatever.
Justice, too, was very good. Still completely enthralled with the little epilogue, and I still stop breathing when they return the verdict. I know, I know, that's a little sad. I dont' care. More lesbians. Why are the lesbians on TV always so pretty!?!??!
Criminal Minds was so unbelievably awesome that I stayed up until eleven thirty watching the tape because I could not bear to leave it until the next day. It had been awhile since I'd seen the last episode, but I quicky remembered pretty much everything. I loved it. It was creepy, it was intelligent, it was awesome. One of the best episodes ever. Other Criminal Minds Happy Note: the first season is coming on DVD on November 21-yay!!!!
Of course, the main, seizure-inducing happiness view of the evening was CSI:NY, which I have been waiting for for four (heheh, that's a lot of fours!!!) months. Not that I'm crazy or anything.
Okay. I'm sure the case was good, and I still don't understand how you can have sex while you're careening towards the Hudson, but that wasn't really the part I was paying attention to.
I was more concerned with that British Whore who calls herself a doctor while Stella's eggs are rotting in her blood-stained apartment. (Meanwhile, could CBS pimp Craig Ferguson any more? Seriously. No wonder that's the only show Gary Sinise is ever on.) And then at the end where she and Mac are all, "This is kind of awkward, right?", I was totally hoping that he'd just let her go. But he didn't. He started sucking her face off.
This is completely unacceptable.
Peyton must die.
Thursday:
Lots and lots tonight. Let's see. Oh, the Office!!! It's back, but Jim is at another branch, which is clearly totally not going to work AT ALL. And Pam turned him down, but broke up with Roy, too. Thank goodness.
CSI was back, and really complicated, so I'll just touch on the major points---Nick got yet another awful haircut, Catherine got raped, and Grissom brought Sara a veggie burger, which is CSI for "I'm hitting that."
Shark was also really promising. Apparently, James Woods is quite famous. I've never seen him in anything, but he's very good in this. Glaring legal problems aside, good writing too. I shall keep watching.
Grey's Anatomy came back too, and was good in an unnotable kind of way, except Callie finally admitted that this was "high school with scalpels". Thank you. I've been saying that for eighteen months.
Friday:
Numb3rs!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGDONSOHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *ahem* Vewy, vewy good episode, aside from the hotness. I'm kind of wondering how long it is before Amita realizes that she gave up Harvard for a self-involved guy who thinks he's the star of the show. Or before Megan starts to show and the writers either have to give her really big handbags or write in a knocked-up storyline.
Sunday:
Without a Trace. Didn't mention the freaky old preggers girlfriend or the horrific Sam/Martin breakup AT ALL> WTF???
Okay. My hands are tired. Need to go rest before tonight's shows.
On with the shows---

Monday's new shows!!! Whee!!!!
Oh so happy. Finally new shows. *is dead with happiness* Just a quick rundown, because there will be more stuff tomorrow (Boston Legal----GAH!!!!!!!!), and I don't want to get a back-log of random shows. And I know you all need to know what to to watch next week, and I wouldn't want to let you down.
The Class~
Okay, I think this might actually be funny. It started off a little bit rocky, but it finished strong. I actually found the part about the guy who was about to kill himself and then wrote down the party hilarious. My sister was mortified, just horrified that they would do something like that, but I was laughing into my chili. I dont' know what that says about me, but I liked it.
The emo girl has been done before, as has the fabulously successful woman married to the gay guy (not that I mind, I love my gays), but that sister was original. Her "happy people" speech??? I'm still laughing about the "I'd kill to find a little note in my diaphragm case!!!" line. Hehehe.
Definately will watch again. You should too.
How I Met Your Mother~
Did not disappoint. I, of course, wanted last season's closer to be a bad dream and have Lily and Marshall wake up and be happy together, but it was not to be. Sad. Anyways, they did it very well, because you felt like the group wasn't broken up (which is hard to do when you lose a cast member), but they also weren't completely bashing Lily.
The ending gave me very conflicted feelings, though, because I was thrilled that Marshall was happy again, and moving on, but in that second when Lily was back at the door I really, REALLY wanted her to go in. *sigh* Why do CBS writers NEVER LISTEN TO ME!?!?!?! Gah.
I'd also like to point out just how inappropriate all these stories are that this guy is telling to his children. Ick.
Two and a Half Men~
Well. Charlie slept with an inordinate amount of women. Alan got dumped and ended up whining at Charlie's house. The maid whined about having to clean up random panties. The kid got in a couple of one-liners (Not my first divorce---hehehe). So pretty much the same as the last two years.
Which is not, as it might sound, a bad thing. Sometimes the best thing comedies can do is just be funny. And this totally was. So happy it's back.
New Adventures of Old Christine~
I am not Julia Louis-Dreyfuss's biggest fan. But I LOVE this show. I think they should give the brother an Emmy just because.
It was quite funny, especially the thing with the teacher (those video cameras??? I'm still laughing), who, incidentally, we saw perform the Christmas story at Disney World a couple of years ago. I do think they need to bring back New Christine, because they kind of lost something when they didn't have that anymore. So she should come back. But other than that, very solid.
CSI: Miami~
*hums the theme song in head* Oh, it was good. And very complicated, so we'll just footnote it. H and Delko are in Brazil, they stick Riaz like a pig, and rush to newly widowed (whee!!!) Yelena and Ray Jr.'s rescue.And Natalia screwed up majorly, not inciting any sympathy on my part, but rather I rejoiced in her mix-ups, because I. Don't. Like. Her. Grrr.
Anyhoodles, I am definately emotionally invovled in this season. Yayness!!!!
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip---
Okay, honestly, I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I definately liked what I saw. I will be finishing it tonight, even if I'm late for work. I don't care. This is clearly more important.
I really, really enjoyed it!! I love the characters, I love the writing, and I really love that they are totally ripping off SNL. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Love it.

House, Spy Daddy, and a Big Lez...
...oh the week it has been!!! I'm sure Bones was interesting too, but unfortunately higher education called and I haven't been able to watch the tape yet. However, I am practically out of breath just thinking about the television-related shenanigans (I'm thinking that's not spelled correctly...) that have gone on since Tuesday. Yes, it has been a good week, children, a very good week.
(Meanwhile, ten days until the earliest CSI premieres!!! WHOO!!!!)
Rosie on The View~
Okay, I've been thrilled by this from day one. I never wavered. I've been waiting. For a bunch of reasons. First, when she's not rubbing her much-ballyhooed sexuality in our faces, I love Rosie. She's freakin' hilarious. Second, Barbara Walters has this vision of The View being an empowering women's newsmagazine, and it's totally not, and Rosie totally knows it and will refuse to treat it as such. And finally, I wanted to see how the rest of the girls would deal with her.
And I was surprised! I never really thought she'd end up in a throw-down with Elisabeth, because 1.) Rosie is way more powerful that That Girl Who Was on Survivor and Has a Show on Style Network, and 2.) Elisabeth knows it. But I did not see the totally awkward and painful interactions with Joy coming.
Of course, it all makes sense. Joy was the funny, brash, loud, and liberal one before. Rosie's funnier. Rosie's brasher. Rosie's louder (girl's got lungs!). And, perhaps most importantly, Rosie's a friggen' lesbian. You cannot *get* more liberal than actually being gay yourself. And you can totally tell that Joy is not amused by now having absolutely no function in this show at all anymore.
I love it. *evil grin* I'm taping every morning, just so I don't miss a single minute of the craziness!!!
House~
GAH!!!!!!!! IT'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've waited so long!!!!!!!!! Except I don't like happy House as well. Which is good, because sad, Vicodin-riddled House is coming back soon, as we closed with him writing himself a prescription. Oh, honey, no! You don't need it! *sigh*
And he asked Cameron out. *shivers*
The Unbelievably Ironic Moment of the Night? When Wilson was lecturing House on using people or telling the truth or something. This from the man who could write The Busy Oncologist's Guide to Extramarital Affairs (Chapter 1: Do it with the patients! Saves time!).
Can't wait till next week. Have to work. *pout*
Justice~
Very few shows will make me miss and episode of CSI:NY, even a rerun. But this one will, because it was just that awesome.
The extra-stupid girl from Mean Girls (the "There's a thirty percent chance it's already raining", or "cousins. Then first cousins...") is accused of killing her...well...the guy she was sleeping with. I can't think of anything else to call it. He wasn't really paying her, they certainly weren't going out, and he was married. Anyway, he's dead. And she kinda admits to it, but says it was self defense, which I'm totally thinking it wasn't.
Except that it *was*!!! I wanted her to be guilty. I don't know why. I can't wait until they get off a murderer so you can get those chills like in Boston Legal when Lori helped get off this guy who totally killed this other guy. I love this show.
Except I will never, ever be able to get the mental image of Spy Daddy and Not-Nancy-Grace together out of my mind. *shivers*
(Meanwhile, ten days until the earliest CSI premieres!!! WHOO!!!!)

Justice- Spy Daddy + Jerry Bruckheime = Television Gold
OMG, I have a new favorite show!!! Okay, maybe not favorite, but pretty damn close. Well, as close as you can get to the CSIs. And Lost. And House. And the Office. But definately in the top ten!!!
I had high hopes for this one, mostly because I refuse to believe that anything Jerry Bruckheimer does will fail (I'm choosing to forget about Days of Thunder here), and I really, really need something to watch on Wednesday nights when Lost isn't on. *sob*
And it totally delivered!!! Love Spy Daddy's character, the crusty old attorney who will totally sell your soul to win a case, love the young idealistic one, love the token black dude, not so keen on the woman, but then I generally don't like a whole lot of women in my shows because it just leads to self-loathing. But still!
And I aboslutely loved the part at the end where they show you what happened---it really came in handy last night because I had it totally pegged wrongly. Oh well.
The case was awesome, and I loved that Nancy Grace character who managed to capture her particular flavor of infertile bitterness.
*Spoilers*
Okay, and I kindof knew that they weren't going to lose the first case, because that just sets you up for failure, but I was totally holding my breath when they returned the verdict. And when the one they weren't sure about stood up? I almost had a heart attack.
Kind of like when one of the CSI's get hurt and you're all "OMG, what's going to happend!?!?!" even though you totally know that they're not going to kill anybody off (unless they're having "creative differences" with David Caruso. Then they'll take one to the chest because they "didn't clean the gun". Uh-huh.)
Jerry is that good.
*end spoilers*
So we all must watch EVERY SINGLE WEEK LEST THIS GO THE WAY OF JUST LEGAL, which, by the way,is back on a network which doesn't exist. I'm confused.
Look for House stuff next week!!!

Finales Galore
Wow- so much to watch and write about!!!! Four shows ended last night, with five hours of viewing, which posed a slight logistical problem as there are only three hours in primetime. But no worries, as I watched the taped stuff this morning.
I'll get the biggies out of the way first- Will and Grace ended last night. And it sucked. Not in the sad, "Oh, my friends are gone!!!!" kind of suck, but the "Wow. They just totally stomped on my faithful viewership and completely ruined the last episode" kind.
Okay, I knew this was going to happen. I knew they were going to fastforward into the future so we see how the characters ended up. This was troubling. Because unless they followed my fantasies exactly (which, let's face it, was unlikely) there was no way for changing the ending in my mind ala Gone With the Wind (Rhett totally met up with Scarlett at Tara).
But almost the entire thing took place like twenty years in the future. The premise was that Grace remarried Leo because she had a dream that she and Will would end up unhappy if they stayed together. And then Will and Vince adopted a little boy, and Grace and Leo had a little girl. And didn't talk for two years. So Karen, who has lost her fortune, and Jack, who is now pimping himself out to Beverly Leslie, get them back together for one night, and then they fall out of touch again. Until Lila and Ben (the kids) meet their first day of college (which, btw, was totally NOT how Will and Grace met) and they fall in love and end up getting married.
Which was the ONLY bright spot of the night, knowing that Will and Grace are really related now. Well, that and Kevin Bacon playing Jack's husband in Grace's dream. "I had my 'Kyra Forever' tattoo lasered off and it's starting to bleed." HAHAHAHAHA.
But my Will and Grace would not have split up over a dream. I think I'd be happier if they'd been in some autistic kid's snowglobe for the last eight years.
CSI also wrapped up last night, althoug not for good. Which is quite good, as I don't think I would feel quite the same about the world without CSI. I really hope it's still on in twenty years like ER.
Anyhoodles, it was quite good. Loved all the tender Grissom/Dying Brass scenes. And what the hell does Ellie have to be so upset about??? Just 'cause Daddy didn't support your decision to become a crack ho doesn't mean he doesn't love you, moron. I think I'd want Grissom to be in charge of my medical power of attorney as opposed to the angry prostitute, too.
Did NOT, however, love the tender Grissom/Very Alive Sara scene at the end. WTF??? Rock that cradle of love, Gil. And I totally ship Grillows and Stidle, so I was upset that one from each of those groups ended up in robes together. I'm holding out that in September it'll turn out that they all went to a spa or something to get over the whole Brass incident and that's why they were alone in robes. *shivers*
But we are quite glad that Brass pulled through. Especially that last scene when they're all there. Awww...
Just two teeny problems- Victorian and Elizabethan periods were three hundred and fifty years apart, and they were using them practically interchangably. And the Civil War did not intersect with either of them in this country, especially in the South. And male corsets were never common. Not in any of the three eras that they were talking about. It might have happend, but it was not common.
Without a Trace ended, too, for the season. With a shootout, no less. Oh the drama. And Mary Elizabeth Mastriantonio (wow, that's a mouthful), was taken hostage. Oh snap. And she's preggers with Jack's kid. Oh bigger snap.
Okay, I'd just like to say that if anybody ever was incredulous that I was pregnant because I was too old, their corpse would have been found in the water below. Seriously, Jack. What the hell were you thinking???
Finally, That '70's Show had it's finale last night. This is the way to do a finale. Jackie finally kisses Fez, the Forman's don't move, Kelso comes back just as stupid as ever, Hyde inherits the record store from his dad, Eric comes back and makes up with Donna, and it ends with a circle where they talk about the same stuff they did in the first one (I'm not a big drug-use promoter, but this one was sweet). The British kid freaked me out a little, but it was still good.
Why couldn't Will and Grace have done that???
Anyhoodles, it's not over yet children. Numbers tonight, then Alias and CSI:Miami on Monday, and Lost on Wednesday. I'm exhausted... :)
I'll get the biggies out of the way first- Will and Grace ended last night. And it sucked. Not in the sad, "Oh, my friends are gone!!!!" kind of suck, but the "Wow. They just totally stomped on my faithful viewership and completely ruined the last episode" kind.
Okay, I knew this was going to happen. I knew they were going to fastforward into the future so we see how the characters ended up. This was troubling. Because unless they followed my fantasies exactly (which, let's face it, was unlikely) there was no way for changing the ending in my mind ala Gone With the Wind (Rhett totally met up with Scarlett at Tara).
But almost the entire thing took place like twenty years in the future. The premise was that Grace remarried Leo because she had a dream that she and Will would end up unhappy if they stayed together. And then Will and Vince adopted a little boy, and Grace and Leo had a little girl. And didn't talk for two years. So Karen, who has lost her fortune, and Jack, who is now pimping himself out to Beverly Leslie, get them back together for one night, and then they fall out of touch again. Until Lila and Ben (the kids) meet their first day of college (which, btw, was totally NOT how Will and Grace met) and they fall in love and end up getting married.

CSI:NY Season Finale- NO!!!!!!!!! DON'T TAKE THEM FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this show too much. It cannot go away for four months. That is just completely unacceptable. Why does it have to end?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I don't want it to leave!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*ahem* Returning to slightly more normal (not much though, don't get your hopes up...) prose, it was a very good episode. *tear* A very, very good episode. And they didn't waste time with a "B" case, so that was good.
Long story short, Mac and Flack are caught in a building when a bomb goes off and all the other little CSI's are standing out front and then Stella kind of takes over the investigation because Mac is still MIA and he's clearly her last chance to have a baby and she'll be damned if he ends up charred. This wasn't really part of the story, but I totally think it was.
And Flack is injured!!!!!! Like eviscerated injured!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T DIE FLACK!!!!!! Anyhoodles, Lt. Dan...erm, Mac...tied off an aterial bleed with a shoelace, which worked quite well considering Flack didn't die. All through this scene we were treated to flashbacks to when Mac lost a guy in the Marines twenty five years ago. Oh sadness. Poor Lt. Dan.
So they get out, and Flack goes into surgery, and Stella has to make sure that the hideous burn mark on Mac's chest isn't genetic because while her eggs may be dry, they are still a little picky apparently. Oh, and they figure out that the bomb was triggered by a cell phone. But, despite the mass panic that the previews suggested, they further deduct that not just any cell phone will trigger it, it's a special Super Secret Homeland Security Code Phone or something equally implausible.
But wait- Scary Bomber Guy is targeting Mac!!! Oh snap. Stella is immediately intrigued/jealous.
So they kind of follow him around and find his lair, where he basically plays a Marine and looks at Mac's military records. Stella is more intrigued, and slightly less jealous because the picture on his little ID card thingy is kind of funny.
Turns out Scary Bomber Guy is a crazy who wanted to be a Marine but kept failing the psych exam. Sadness. Not really, because I don't really want schitzophrenics in the military. They have enough to deal with out there without voices.
Scary Bomber Guy then proceeds to hold Uptight Homeland Securty Chick hostage until Mac plays little mind games with him and convinces him to drop his weapon because his superior officer told him to.
I'd just like to say that if I was Stella, I totally would have ruined it by starting to giggle in the background, because it was so funny. *ahem*
And they all live happily every after. Well, except Flack, but we'll get to that in a minute.
Okay, so at the end they're all together at the hospital. Oh!!! I do so love it when my CSI's get together!!!! So they have this touching little conversation about friendship, and then Hawkes goes off to harass the neurosurgeon and make sure he's taking care of his friend, and Stella goes off to get coffee (she knows how Mac takes it??? That's...kind of creepy, actually...), and Danny and Lindsay totally ditch to go for a ride. I don't know. I didn't understand that part. But the really important people stay.
So then you kind of figure hours go by and Mac's all alone with Flack, and he's kind of holding his hand (which, btw, isn't gay like the little Marine move last week...) and he asks him to squeeze his fingers if he can hear him, like the Dead Marine from earlier in the show couldn't.
And Flack doesn't. Imladris and I are practically in tears.
...
...
...
...
And then he does!!!!!!!!!! Oh, Flack's going to be okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Mac's crying and it's so sweet!!! Oh, this was so awesome!!!!
So, despite the fact that it represents this show going away for a couple of months, it was quite good. A very definate Smacked moment towards the end ("I'm glad you stayed." Oh, he totally meant that he was glad she stayed, not just that Flack had friends around. Wow. I think too much.). We love definate Smacked moments.
So now it's over until September. *tear*

You Love Crazy Until Crazy Loves You
Okay, I had six and a half total hours of stuff to watch that was on last night. And ended up watching four and a half of it today---good thing I don't have my hours worked out yet- I don't have time to work.
Anyhoodles, more finales and such coming up tonight and tomorrow (CSI:NY---NO!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T TAKE IT FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), so I'll just run down the list...k???
Grey's Anatomy~
Okay, the season finale was three hours long. THREE. And because I forgot to tape it Sunday night, I did a marathon view this afternoon. I'm a little tired and in need of fluids, but I'm okay. I know you're all thrilled.
Anyhoodles, this whole thing could have been very easily summed up in half an hour. Izzie cuts Denny LVAD wires, essentially killing him so that he can get another heart, Burke gets shot en route getting aformentioned heart and loses feeling in his right hand (not a good thing for a thoracic surgeon) and then turns to his every supportive girlfriend Cristina who is...nowhere to be found. Really. She like totally avoided him for the entire night. Crazy bitch. Meredith's dog has cancer and ends up dying (sadness) and she eases her grief by doing the freak nasty with McDreamy (who, by the way, was probably given the moniker while in a tux. Wow.) in some random hospital room (ew!!! unsanitary!!!) while the Chief of Surgery's cancer-ridden niece is having a prom with all the attendings, for the sole reason of letting everybody get dressed up and pretty.
*deep breath* Okay, are we all caught up???
But then Denny proposes and Izzie freaks out and then Denny dies anyway and Alex gets all sweet and non-manwhory and carries Izzie off of his dead body (eww....). Cristina finally acts like an actual human being and goes back to her poor boyfriend who can actually move his hand now (YAY!!!!), and Callie and George make up. And frankly, I'm happy because Callie's even bigger than me in that dress (and the hair was not a good look if you ask me.). So everybody's dead or really unhappy and the the final shot is of Meredith choosing between McDreamy and the vet who is totally a better choice for her because he's not like married or whatever but he's not as hot.
It was freakin' awesome. :)
CSI:Miami~
Anyhoodles, more finales and such coming up tonight and tomorrow (CSI:NY---NO!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T TAKE IT FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), so I'll just run down the list...k???

It was freakin' awesome. :)
CSI:Miami~
CSI: Miami was...well, actually pretty predictable. We kind of saw everything happen in the trailer, and you could pretty much tell that Marisol was going down, although I kind of thought they'd let her hang around until cancer ripped her and perhaps their unborn baby's life out of Horatio's hands. But it turns out she wasn't even pregnant like we were promised by TV Guide earlier in the year. Crazy TV Guide. You are dead to me.
But if cancer had gotten her, then there would not have been that unbelievably awesome moment when Horatio and Delko, who together have got to be the scariest, most crazed, most competant vigilantes EVER, identify the person who shot her and then they're just like, "Oh, it's on now, bitch.". And you're sitting in your living room going, "Yeah! Bitch goin' down!!!!!!!!" Or at least I was. *ahem*
The notable exception to the predictability was the whole Gloria story line, which gave me the title, or one of the best lines ever. I LOVED it.
How I Met Your Mother~
WTF, Marshall and Lily broke up!?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are so cute together!!!! I love them together!!!!! Does this mean Alyson Hannigan isn't going to be on the show anymore???? Hmmm???? Somebody help me here!!! And I want Robin to be the Mother so badly!!!! Even though I totally know she's not.
And I wouldn't really mind if they revealed the mother---everybody knew Ray and Debra were going to stay together and everybody in the country still watched Everybody Loves Raymond.
Can't wait until September!!!!
24~
Okay, I honestly don't remember what happened. It was before the three hour Young and Horny marathon. Oh, wait, it's coming back to me. The recording is gone and the prez is using it to blow up a Russian submarine. Yep. That's pretty much it.
Oh, and Audrey's back and perfectly healthy. The wonders of what a good twenty minute nap will do for you.
I'm totally in love with this show. I especially love how at the end it cuts to like six different scenes just to remind you exactly how much they still have to tie up in the coming episodes, like "oh, yeah, you forgot about that part didn't you?? Well, we didn't, and somebody's probably gonna die..." Must watch season finale next week.
Whew, I'm tired. I'm off in search of sustiance.
Oh, and y'all probably notice the absence of a CSI recap. Well, it wasn't because it wasn't unbelievably awesome, but I'm gonna wait and do one after the second part of the finale. Can't wait!!!

CSI:NY- The Few, the Proud, and Mac
First, Lost was absolutely freakin' amazing, again, even if I was really tired and kind of out of it when we watched it. Whatever. Doesn't matter. Still good. I was right, Libby was alive, but then she died at the end trying to tell them that Michael was the one who shot her. And Locke and Eko found another hatch, one that tapes the rest of the Hatches. So somewhere there's evidence of the murders. Oh snap.
But on to the main view of the night, and the only one I actually got to watch live, as I was busy stuffing myself full of pasta and cheesecake in commemoration of my academic achievment until 8:59.
There were, as usual, two crimes. It's Fleet Week, and a Marine is found stabbed to death, causing Mac to get all pissy and commando. And a body is found burned to a crisp inside a car. And upon bone structure analysis or something, Hawkes discovers that it's actually Aiden.
(Colleen: Wait. What was Aiden's last name?
Me: Burn.
Colleen: Oh, ew...)
Okay, I didn't like Aiden, and her hootched out lips annoyed the hell out of me, but they didn't have to kill her!!! And I was actually pretty sad, when Hawkes discovers her face on the computor program thing he like starts to shake and it was really sad!!! All the poor CSIs. Danny, of course, is pissed off and is kind of stomping around the office even though Mac is very kindly trying to keep him away from the case.
Well, through some very, um, interesting deductions, Mac and Danny realize that there was no way that the Marine really could have been attacked normally, because he was a Marine, dammit, and could have taken the other guy down. They proved this by doing the little blocking manouvers. Yeah. Um, Mac? Again, love ya to death, but when you do it in slow motion it's just gay. Not cool. Just gay. They wrap this up pretty quickly because the audience really doesn't care while Aiden is lying there dead. Turns out the wife of an abusive guy killed him because he protected her by knocking her husband out. Oh snap.
Back the real story, Mac and Stella do Aiden's apartment and they find out that she was conducting her own investigation into D.J. Pratt, the guy who raped her friend at the beginning of the season. And then they find a whole bunch of evidence that I don't really remember because my Inner Shipper was screaming so hard inside of me I could barely concentrate. And then they find Aiden's bite mark on the upholstery of the car, and it matches the bite print on Pratt's arm. Which Mac knew would be there because he is a caring and conscientious boss.
So they finally nailed the guy, and it was really sad (and yes, I know these are fake people and that Vanessa Feralito is alive and well) because Aiden knew he was going to kill her and she left them everything they needed to get him. Awwww.... And then Mac and Stella come this close to hugging towards the end, but they don't. My Inner Shipper is disappointed, because Stella's eggs are not going to last forever, you know. Sheesh.
But the ending was really sweet---all the CSIs are at a bar talking about their memories of Aiden...well, Montana's there too, but I think she's just making sure that Danny has a shoulder to cry on. Awww!!!! I love it when my CSIs get together after work!!!! NY doesn't do that enough. Vegas they're constantly eating. Why doesn't NY eat???
Anyhoodles, absolutely wonderful episode. And next week's looks awesome too. Except it's the season finale, which always causes lots and lots of very bad feelings. And they had better not hurt Flack's face!!! Someone will die if they do. Seriously. Anything below the neck.

End of the Week Shows
So I finally got caught up on my shows from Thursday and Friday, and they totally kicked ass. And I wanted to write about them before tonight, because I have something like five hours of viewing to cram into the three hour period between seven and and ten tonight. Sheesh.
Criminal Minds was absolutely fantastic. I had no idea it was him. Imladris pegged the skinny girl, but she was wrong. Sadness..
Anyhoodles, CSI: Regular was great...this guy is killed after having his fantasy night...which coincidentally was orchestrated by an organization that creates fantasies. Which conveniently is not prostitution (not that anyone in Nevada would care) because they tell their "employees" and they are not responsible for anything other than a good night kiss. Yeah. Sure. The whole story was long and intricate and Judd Nelson was on there for some reason and I can't really get into it.
But I will write about the part of the show that my indiscriminate Inner Shipper was loving, the constant awkward glances between Grissom and Sara. Now, we all know that I proudly ship Grillows (for my readers who don't know, that's Grissom/Willows) because I think they could be like Lab Parents and just take care of the young crazy ones. But my Inner Shipper (a completely different person from my Inner Pop-Culture Whore) is crazy happy about any tension between any cast members (unless it's Flack---hands off, bitch, he's mine), and she ate those awkward "What's your fantasy" moments up...teehee. She also thought it was a little bit funny.
Without a Trace was awesome, too. The Albanian mob put a hit on this little boy who witnessed an execution and then tried to kill his family. Including his whore sister, who had absolutely nothing to do with the story and yet we still had to see her roll around with some guy. But, the shining FBI agents came to the rescue, and then Simon...sorry, Jack, beat the crap out of the head guy and prettymuch told him to stay away. You go, Simon!!! Next week's looks boring and political, though. Bummer.
And on Numbers, the Russian mob hacked into Don's bank account and there were a lot of tense brother moments, even though I still maintain that there is no biological way that those two could be brothers. Not a chance. I was mainly pleased that I didn't have to watch Rob Morrow make a pathetic attempt at quasi-professional foreplay with some random DA like last week...what is it with DAs??? Why are they always brought in at sweeps to make the male characters sweat??? Frankly, I tire of it. *sniff*
And finally last night I caught Grey's Anatomy. Oh the drama that is going on with the Brilliant and the Horney. Meredith yelled at McDreamy for calling her a whore, Cristina's still being a tightass, Izzie's still lusting after the dying patient, Addison is still being...well, nothing, really. What does Addison have to do??? And Alex is still being a manwhore. I am quite intrigued about the season finale though, apparently it's spread ot over three hours...oooohhhh....
Yeah, so I have tons and tons of viewing for this evening. I have my CBS comedies, the series finale of 7th Heaven that I feel compelled to watch for old times sake, 24 for thecrazy hotness great acting, CSI:Miami, and a Catherine the Great special on PBS. Oh, how will I have time to even go to finals???

Lost and CSI:NY- OMGWTF!?!?!?!?
Author's Note: Hi! This is Kathleen's Inner Pop-Culture Whore doing this entry. First, Kathleen herself is still to floored by last night's viewing to do much more than make barely audible squeaking noises. Second, she is currently occupied in business law and I am unbearably bored with the formation of corporations. As you know, I subsist on juiciness and scandal, and there is considerable lack of either of those here. I am bommed and hungry. Moving on to the real entry.
Lost:
Last week, the more intelligent part of me made a reference to Hamlet. I think she may have been psychic, becuase by the end of this episdoe, there as a pile of bodies littering the stage like nobody's business. We open with NotHenry strangeling Ana Lucia. Immediately, I am torn. I've wanted her dead for so long I'm tempted to cheer. But at the same time I really don't like NotHenry. But I"m still slightly ticked off when Locke beats NotHenry over the head with his cane. I'm such a bitch.
Tonight's well-choreographed flashbacks belong to Ana Lucia, who apparently killed the guy who shot her, quit the PD and went to Sydney with Jack's dad (!!!) as "protection" but really looks more like a hopeful botty call. Whatever, I'm disgusted already.
Three other things go on tongiht- Michales back with news of The Others, Hurley is planning a picnic, and Ana Lucia's a whore. But we knew that one already.
The second one is also kind of easy to dispense with . Hurley is taking Libby on a picnic. Sayid offered a beach with a hut on it. Hmmm. A hairy Iraqi and a Dead Girl's love hut. Not thanks, pal. Even though I am an Inner Pop-Culture Whore, I do not wish to see Hurley doing a From Here to Eternity. *shivers*
Michael's news of The Others is more enticing and less nausea inducing. They have a Hatch!!! OMG NO!!!! They know the Numbers and they have a Hatch!!!! And they're weak with two guns. And presumably less attractive. So Michael convinces Jack that they can get gtogether and unbelievably pretty army and kick their asses. Jack and Kate thins this isa good idea, and they go get the guns back from Sawyer.
Meanwhile, Ana Lucia has the same idea (for different reasons) but decides to go aobut it differenty- by sleeping with him. OMG. You are SO NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jack could never love you now!!! WHORE!!! (Look who's talking...) Oh snap. As somewhat of an afterthought, she gets the gun.
The last five minutes are the best, though. Slowly, it is dawning on me that Ana Lucia is back in the Hatch with NotHenry who tried to kill her. Flashbacks already told us that she likes to kill people who tried to kill her. But in a flash of mercy or fear, she can't do it, and Michael, who is recouperating in the Hatch, finds her staring sullenly at the gun. He then offers to do it for her, and I'm very concerned about Michael turning into a killer. And then he goes, "I'm sorry..." shoots her. KILLS HER!!!!!!!!!! There's blood!!! Libby hears this and runs in and Michael shoots her too. I'm less convinced that she's actually dead, because there was no blood and she still has backstory to clear up. Plus, on the trailer for next week Jack says, "She's dead", not "They're dead." And then he lets NotHenry out and shoots himself in the arm.
Oh my gosh. I can't even think. My whole brain just went numb again. I've been shipping Ana Lucia/Dangerous Weapon for so long I can't even comprehend it. See, ladies, this is what happens when you drink and drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Copyright: Imladris) BTW, we couldn't even get on the message boards right after the show because too many people were trying to access it. Oh snap!!!!
CSI:NY-
Okay, so this has less to do with the actual episode and more to do with the preview for next week, but still. A polygamist who is into lots and lots of really interesting things is dead and the two wives both kind of look guilty. And one of them is. In a not-so-coincidental storyline, one of the wives killed her boyfriend a couple of years ago in self-defense, which leads to countless flashbacks to last week and a couple of insensitive (okay, a lot) comments from Mac.
Mac, what the hell??? I love you to death, but you have got to be warmer and nicer. I mean, you finally hugged Danny a couple weeks ago, but he was already sobbing. And then you let Stella go back to her apartment alone last week. Just because you are a cold Marine who hasn't been able to open up since Osama killed your wife doesn't mean that you can be cold and insensitive to the future mother of your children who is GOING THROUGH A VERY HARD TIME RIGHT NOW!!!!! Ugh.
But the preview was the important part that almost killed me after Lost. There was a rumor going around the boards that this would happen, but I wasn't sure if it was true or not. Obviously so. Aiden is found burned to death in a car. OMGWTFNO!!!!!!!!!!! AIDEN???? I'm still reeling from Ana Lucia who I didn't even like!!!!! Why did they have to kill her??? Oh, and this is just going to screw up the CSI's. Mac's going to have tons of guilt because he couldn't catch that rapist guy, Danny's going to fall back in love with the idea of her, leaving Montana out in the cold, and Stella is therefore going to have to deal with things on her own.
Well, this Inner Pop-Culture Whore is tired, and this update is officially over. Read my one from yesterday, though, in case you haven't already.
Lost:
Last week, the more intelligent part of me made a reference to Hamlet. I think she may have been psychic, becuase by the end of this episdoe, there as a pile of bodies littering the stage like nobody's business. We open with NotHenry strangeling Ana Lucia. Immediately, I am torn. I've wanted her dead for so long I'm tempted to cheer. But at the same time I really don't like NotHenry. But I"m still slightly ticked off when Locke beats NotHenry over the head with his cane. I'm such a bitch.
Tonight's well-choreographed flashbacks belong to Ana Lucia, who apparently killed the guy who shot her, quit the PD and went to Sydney with Jack's dad (!!!) as "protection" but really looks more like a hopeful botty call. Whatever, I'm disgusted already.
Three other things go on tongiht- Michales back with news of The Others, Hurley is planning a picnic, and Ana Lucia's a whore. But we knew that one already.
The second one is also kind of easy to dispense with . Hurley is taking Libby on a picnic. Sayid offered a beach with a hut on it. Hmmm. A hairy Iraqi and a Dead Girl's love hut. Not thanks, pal. Even though I am an Inner Pop-Culture Whore, I do not wish to see Hurley doing a From Here to Eternity. *shivers*
Michael's news of The Others is more enticing and less nausea inducing. They have a Hatch!!! OMG NO!!!! They know the Numbers and they have a Hatch!!!! And they're weak with two guns. And presumably less attractive. So Michael convinces Jack that they can get gtogether and unbelievably pretty army and kick their asses. Jack and Kate thins this isa good idea, and they go get the guns back from Sawyer.
Meanwhile, Ana Lucia has the same idea (for different reasons) but decides to go aobut it differenty- by sleeping with him. OMG. You are SO NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jack could never love you now!!! WHORE!!! (Look who's talking...) Oh snap. As somewhat of an afterthought, she gets the gun.
The last five minutes are the best, though. Slowly, it is dawning on me that Ana Lucia is back in the Hatch with NotHenry who tried to kill her. Flashbacks already told us that she likes to kill people who tried to kill her. But in a flash of mercy or fear, she can't do it, and Michael, who is recouperating in the Hatch, finds her staring sullenly at the gun. He then offers to do it for her, and I'm very concerned about Michael turning into a killer. And then he goes, "I'm sorry..." shoots her. KILLS HER!!!!!!!!!! There's blood!!! Libby hears this and runs in and Michael shoots her too. I'm less convinced that she's actually dead, because there was no blood and she still has backstory to clear up. Plus, on the trailer for next week Jack says, "She's dead", not "They're dead." And then he lets NotHenry out and shoots himself in the arm.
Oh my gosh. I can't even think. My whole brain just went numb again. I've been shipping Ana Lucia/Dangerous Weapon for so long I can't even comprehend it. See, ladies, this is what happens when you drink and drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Copyright: Imladris) BTW, we couldn't even get on the message boards right after the show because too many people were trying to access it. Oh snap!!!!

May Sweeps
Oh the fun it brings. Crazy shit breaks out on all my shows, and it's almost enough to make me forget that they're all going away in a few weeks. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T TAKE THEM FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*ahem* Anyway, things have been pretty good. CSI:Normal was good, loved the dead mother-in-law thing. As was Without a Trace, which gave Danny not as much screen time as Imladris would have preferred, thus leading to a long soliloquy on exactly why he should be on the screen. Loved Jack's daughter too, "Can it be Danny???" Teehee. Actually haven't watched my Numbers tape from last week, and am not entirely sure where it is, so I'm thinking maybe I won't get to see it. Which is okay because it probably won't be cancelled and therefore will be in reruns all summer long. For four months. A long time.
But Monday night was freakin' awesome for TV. First of all, my CBS comedies were so funny. How can anyone look at those three shows and say the sitcom is dead?? Please. Even iof the thought of supporting CHarlie Sheen is a slightly, okay, a lot repulsive, Two and a Half Men is still funny. And I am completely in love with How I Met Your Mother. I am desperate to know how Robin, who is perfect for Ted and THEY SHOULD TOTALLLY GET TOGETHER becomes "Aunt Robin". What the hell???
We watched the Apprentice because it is one of the few shows where generally all people are clothed at most times and therefore suitable for family viewing, and it's actually getting pretty catty. Not that it ever wasn't, but still. I have a theory about business people. You know how they whine and occasionally have to work late for a big project or something? Yeah. You could totally cut that out by making them SHUT THE HELL UP and just do the damn work. Honestly. The whole profession.
24 was good, but kind of slow I thouhgt. I understand it now, but it was still kind of slow. Spent almost the whole time on a plane. See, this is when the whole real-time thing comes back to bite you in the ass. Still, lots ofhotness good acting.
The final view of the evening was CSI:Miami which, as usual, delivered like Lost. I had the stepdaughter pegged from 9:04. I even knew that she was having a thing with a crew member. Oh, I'm good. And did any body notice that the evil Captain was Bad Toy Store's Evil Marketing Guy from Miracle on 34th Street??? I did, and I don't care if they proved his innocence in the end, I still wouldn't have liked him. Fortunately, they didn't. How sweet was the end??? AWWWWW... I just love it when my CSI's have moments...
Last night was pretty good, too. Haven't gotten the chance to watch my Boston Legal tape yet, as I am stuck at school being responsible, but it is sure to please. House was on, and it was awesome. Foreman caught this disease that they're not entirely sure about and he could die and he just stabbed Cameron's leg with an infected needle, so things are even dicier between them. *deep breath* And it all concludes tonight at seven. OMG I MUST WATCH!!!
There are so many things I must watch tonight. Craziness, really. At seven both House and Alias are on, at eight Lost and Criminal Minds, and then at nine CSI:NY and Law and Order. OMG WHEN WILL I HAVE THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! *calming breath* Okay, okay. I can watch one show and tape the other, except at nine when I am compelled to both tape and watch CSI:NY and keep it as my Squishy until the DVD comes out. Which will be a long, long time from now. Provided it doesn't get cancelled. You don't think it'll get cancelled, do you??? I mean, it's pretty consistantly in the top 20, and how could CBS take off one of the CSI's??? It'd be like killing your children. They'd better not kill my baby!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, okay. I just realized how strange that last paragraph was. I think I'm going to go rejoin the real world, okay????

CSI:NY- Oh SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!
I hardly even know what to write about this episode. Like how did the Statford-Upon-Avon Times book critic review Hamlet? "Good, but what's up with the mother?"
Just a quick rundown before I get to my ever-present opinions...We open with a dead guy at Kid Rock concert (*cough* almost sweeps *cough*) and there's a scary scratched CD near him. I don't know, I was kind of confused by this story. But while Mac is doing this case, he hears over the car radio that there was a possible officer involvment at this address which he clearly knows is Stella's (watch as all the Shippers squee). Cut to the entire NYPD busting into the joint apartment, only to find Frankie the Creepy Internet Porn guy dead. And Stella is face down in the corner. Mac, being a concerned future father of her children, runs over and makes sure she's okay (watch as all the Shipper practically wet themselves). Awwwwww....Lt. Dan!!!!!!!! Sorry...moving on...
Yeah, so they process Stella and we got lots and lots ofamazingly hot tender scenes with Flack questioning her. Awwwwww...Tad!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry...moving on... And Lindsey is really upset about this, which is kinda strange that she's only known her like five months. Still, it's sweet.
Turns out that Frankie stalked her, broke into her apartment, tied her up, caused her to cut herself with a razor (I had trouble shaving this morning), and then tried to kill her. And she shot him. Girl power!!!!!!!!! *ahem* Sorry. And then Mac sweetly offers to take Stella to a hotel (watch as all the Shippers have heart attacks), but she wants to be tough and go back to the apartment. Me? I'd kick back in a hotel with Flack on speed dial until somebody else scrubbed the blood out of my bathtub. Because having to clean would just be adding insult to injury.
Well, I'd just like to start the opinion part of this post by saying that I am totally back to shipping Mac/Stella. While her hideously impure eggs may not have been good enough for him last week, being abused and left for dead is pretty redeeming in my eyes. So they now have my blessing to get back together. Although that might have happened faster if Mac had stopped being such a damn Marine and went back to the apartment with her. I maintain that he walked her there but she wanted to be alone. Imladris is more cynical. Whatever.
I kind of didn't understand the whole other story line, or maybe I just wasn't paying attention. I don't really like Kid Rock, and I like girls who find him the least bit attractive even less. Crazies. The next two look awesome- apparently somebody kills a Marine or something and Mac gets to go all The Few the Proud all over their ass. Ha!
Lost was on last night too, but it was one of those stupid recap shows that are competely useless as I am a faithful viewer and have been watching since Day 1. Literally. And I didn't like the voice over that made it sound like a National Geographic documentary. I half expected the guy to go, "Their mating rituals are awkward and high coreographed..." in that slightly British accent. Sheesh.
Sorry this is a little bit late, we all know I would have liked to have done this first thing, but I have had a lot to do today...

24- Confused, but Intrigued
I decided to join the rest of the nation this week and start watching 24. Well, that and I saw The Sentinel this weekend and realized that Kiefer Sutherland is really hot a very good actor. Let me just say that my Inner Pop-Culture Whore is loving this show and cannot believe she hasn't started watching it sooner.
At the same time, her head hurts because she is very, very confused. And the split screen kind of bugged her. But that's okay, because she really liked the little time clock with the ominous ticking. And she really loved Audrey's coat. She was very upset that there was blood all over it. My Inner Pop-Culture Whore is also a fashionista.
See, I know exactly two things about 24. 1.) The President is very bad and 2.) Elisha Cuthbert used to play Jack's daughter. Elisha Cuthbert also used to be on a PBS show that I watched when I was little and I wanted to be just like her because she was pretty and smart and thin. And pretty. Did I mention that already? Now I don't, because I think it would be weird to think that the guy playing your dad iscrazy hot such a good actor. Whatever.
Neither of these little pieces of information helped me much last night. Who the hell is Henderson? Normally, I would put my considerable research skills to use and find out everything there possibly was to know about this show, but I couldn't even understand the websites. Somebody comment with answers, please!!!
But still amazingly good, and I completely plan on watching until the end of the season. Which is really soon, actually. Sadness.
Also watched CSI:Miami last night. Oh, Horatio is being a sensitive guy! And Ryan and Delko are being crazy and territorial. And Calleigh looks like she may have put on a little weight, which I always like in my fake characters. My Inner Pop-Culture Whore is also a little insecure about her looks.
So who do we think deserves Natalia? Do we think that Marisol is already pregnant?

Without a Trace and Numbers
Sorry readers, I'm afraid this is going to be kind of a bland one today, as I am not feeling particularly witty. Just tired. But I've been feeling badly because I don't think I've ever done a Without a Trace post and this show pretty much makes my world go round. I know it's sad. Don't pity me, please.
Anyhoodles, children, this week a dogooder who works at Shield House (battered women and such) disappears. And we learn that he wasn't such a dogooder after all. Turns out he was a manwhore.
No, really. I'm not just using that word because I like the way it sounds. He was sleeping with way older rich women who would then give him money for the shelter. Ewww.
Yeah, so just as I'm feeling less-than-sorry for the guy and kind of not caring whether or not they ever find him, I find out that he was trying to turn his life around. And giving back all the jewelry and such that the women he was "servicing" and being all nice. And I start to care about him. And then they find his dead corpse in a ditch where he had crashed after the crack ho friend distracted him. Bummer, huh???
Now you'll forgive me if I don't have all the details (except the gigelo one...that was pretty damn hard to miss...), because for most of the hour Imladris was yelling about how Martin gets too much screen time. She's very upset about this. Even though he's gotten ten times hotter in her eyes since she found out that he's wealthy, she still things that that other guy, the hispanic one who is so important I can't remember his name should be in it more. And as I can't remember his name, I think she may have a point. Except he does have that little "Spanish club" with that chick I can't stand where they just speak Spanish and use accents and completely shut out the WASPy Samantha and Martin. Teehee.
Anyhoodles, Numbers was also good. Don's ex-girlfriend, an ATF agent apparently committed suicide. And because they devote an hour to it, you know it's not gonna be a real suice. Evil Double Agent killed her instead. Big whup. Somebody also needs to tell Rob Morrow that he's too old to be making out in a car with some random attorney ("Counselor?" "Agent?" Seriously. Is this how our nation's finest get freaky? I don't want to see it...). He was on Northern Exposure twenty years ago for heaven's sakes!!! Sheesh.
Excellent week of TV coming up, so expect lots of updates.

Please Excuse Me While I Scrape My Jaw Off the Floor
Oh good Lord. My inner pop-culture whore who feeds soley on television juiciness almost died of happiness last night. And after Tuesday's baby joy, well, she's almost dead anyways. Almost too much fake news to handle. I'll just get right to it...
American Idol~
Ace got kicked to the curb. Watch as thousands of ten-year-olds and my aunt cry. Personally, I think it was the creepy hair. Although he was quick to point out that he didn't actually cut it. Pretty Boy knows where his bread is buttered.
Meanwhile, Andrea Bocelli is uncharacteristically pimping himself out and being the guest "coach" next week. Hmmm. The blind Italian tenor and the girl who doesn't know that the "l" in "salmon" is silent. I'm thinking train wreck. A really bad, mistranslated train wreck.
Alias~
I'll admit it. I'm a not-so-closeted Alias geek. I loves it. And I loves that it's back, even though it knocked Lost off for a week. Just a quick run-down, because nobody else watchs it or cares. But I do!!!! Okay, moving on.
1.) Sydney is kidnapped by Prophet 5, the Russian terrorist group du jour. While she's in their custody, they save her baby for some reason. I'm very confused, and it's 7:15.
2.) Irina's back.
3.) What?
4.) Irina's bad.
5.) No shit.
6.) Spy Daddy tries to kill her.
7.) Again.
8.) Sydney goes into labor. Oh!! My little girl's growing up!!! Of course, people are trying to kill her.
9.) Baby's upside down.
10.) Evil Irina apparently knows way more about obsetrics than she should and turns baby around.
11.) And tells Sydney that she wasn't wanted, but the KGB insisted that she have a baby. BOOO!!!!
12.) Sydney gives birth to a baby girl. Oh the days of our lives.
13.) Irina runs away to go be evil.
14.) Again.
15.) Sydney, Baby, and Spy Daddy are on a plane, and Sydney asked Spy Daddy to do something, which he does.
16.) OMG, VAUGHN'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And living in a monestary in Bhutan with a beard ala Christian Bale in Batman. Except Liam Neeson is nowhere to be seen. And he's not as hot as Christian Bale. I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whew...
CSI:NY~
Oh, will the revelations never stop??? We open with Stella literally rolling around with Frankie the manwhore. Okay. She is no longer good enough for Mac. I spent the next twenty minutes figuring out exactly who he should get together with. I'm very protective of my television characters.
Very invovled story about a guy buried at Giant's stadium, and the Tanglewood boys (who have aged twenty years and lost all their hair) are responsible, except they found Danny's DNA in the hole. I had that whole thing figured out after two mintues, but it took CSI considerably longer. Which could be because Stella was off doing Frankie and Montana was being worried about Danny and Mac was...well, Mac doesn't know yet that the woman all the Mac/Stella shippers out there had pegged as the future mother of his children is a whore, but maybe he had a premonition.
At the end we have a touchingly tender hugging scene with Danny breaking down and Mac finally stops being such a damn Marine and hugs him. Awww!!!! We learn three things here---1.) CSI's are real people too!!!, 2.) Carmine Giovinazzo is really short, and 3.) Carmine Giovinazzo can't cry. Seriously.
The final scene, however, was awesome. Stella googles this word that Frankie the Manwhore used, and figures out that it's "Bonasera" spelled backwards. Oooh. And there's a website. And, well, this is a family blog, so I won't say what was on the website, but I'm pretty certain Paris Hilton would be proud. Oh snap. Cannot wait until next week!!!!
Going to go eat dinner---I'll put something up tomorrow about regular CSI and Without a Trace. Oh, can somebody please tell me what the clues are in this picture??? I cannot figure it out.

Meanwhile, Andrea Bocelli is uncharacteristically pimping himself out and being the guest "coach" next week. Hmmm. The blind Italian tenor and the girl who doesn't know that the "l" in "salmon" is silent. I'm thinking train wreck. A really bad, mistranslated train wreck.
Alias~
I'll admit it. I'm a not-so-closeted Alias geek. I loves it. And I loves that it's back, even though it knocked Lost off for a week. Just a quick run-down, because nobody else watchs it or cares. But I do!!!! Okay, moving on.
1.) Sydney is kidnapped by Prophet 5, the Russian terrorist group du jour. While she's in their custody, they save her baby for some reason. I'm very confused, and it's 7:15.
2.) Irina's back.
3.) What?
4.) Irina's bad.
5.) No shit.
6.) Spy Daddy tries to kill her.
7.) Again.
8.) Sydney goes into labor. Oh!! My little girl's growing up!!! Of course, people are trying to kill her.
9.) Baby's upside down.
10.) Evil Irina apparently knows way more about obsetrics than she should and turns baby around.
11.) And tells Sydney that she wasn't wanted, but the KGB insisted that she have a baby. BOOO!!!!
12.) Sydney gives birth to a baby girl. Oh the days of our lives.
13.) Irina runs away to go be evil.
14.) Again.
15.) Sydney, Baby, and Spy Daddy are on a plane, and Sydney asked Spy Daddy to do something, which he does.
16.) OMG, VAUGHN'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And living in a monestary in Bhutan with a beard ala Christian Bale in Batman. Except Liam Neeson is nowhere to be seen. And he's not as hot as Christian Bale. I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whew...
CSI:NY~
Oh, will the revelations never stop??? We open with Stella literally rolling around with Frankie the manwhore. Okay. She is no longer good enough for Mac. I spent the next twenty minutes figuring out exactly who he should get together with. I'm very protective of my television characters.
Very invovled story about a guy buried at Giant's stadium, and the Tanglewood boys (who have aged twenty years and lost all their hair) are responsible, except they found Danny's DNA in the hole. I had that whole thing figured out after two mintues, but it took CSI considerably longer. Which could be because Stella was off doing Frankie and Montana was being worried about Danny and Mac was...well, Mac doesn't know yet that the woman all the Mac/Stella shippers out there had pegged as the future mother of his children is a whore, but maybe he had a premonition.
At the end we have a touchingly tender hugging scene with Danny breaking down and Mac finally stops being such a damn Marine and hugs him. Awww!!!! We learn three things here---1.) CSI's are real people too!!!, 2.) Carmine Giovinazzo is really short, and 3.) Carmine Giovinazzo can't cry. Seriously.
The final scene, however, was awesome. Stella googles this word that Frankie the Manwhore used, and figures out that it's "Bonasera" spelled backwards. Oooh. And there's a website. And, well, this is a family blog, so I won't say what was on the website, but I'm pretty certain Paris Hilton would be proud. Oh snap. Cannot wait until next week!!!!
Going to go eat dinner---I'll put something up tomorrow about regular CSI and Without a Trace. Oh, can somebody please tell me what the clues are in this picture??? I cannot figure it out.

CSI:Miami and Lost Conspiracy Theories
I don't actually have any, because I'm not smart enough to figure it out. I didn't realize that Sawyer was long-conning the girlfriend until he told her. I'm a moron. But in honor of the new episode tonight (Rose and Bernard backstory-yay!!!), I thought I'd help y'all out by giving you wonderful links to various different sites that have way too many people with way too much time on their hands. Said the girl who updates her blog freakishly often. Anyhoodles, this one is kind of weird, but it focuses on the Numbers. This one has really good recaps and discussion, and this one is just a general fan site, which we know is going to be good upon opening because there's a picture of Jack RIGHT THERE on the opening page. *swoons* Did you know he has a penchant for walking around the set naked? ..........
*ahem* Back to reality (well, not really...), CSI:Miami was awesome this week, even though I totally didn't understand any of it. I know there was money laundering going on (which, call me crazy, always makes me think of people washing money...) and a drug cartel, and dead people in a bathtub in an abandoned hotel. And these two crazies named Jude and Sienna...oh, I'm sorry, Leo and Sienna. I kept mentally referring to him as Jude throughout the whole episode. I can't help it. I'm a pop culture whore (like the nanny!! HAHA!!!).
I don't actually get what their whole purpose was, except to be pretty and annoyingly horny and jump off a bridge at the end. You wann know how screwed up I am? Why they were hurling themselves over the edge all I could think was how pretty Sienna's coat was and how I would never want to get water on that. Loved the kicky music as they were killing themselves, then it turned all somber as soon as they were over the edge. And the entire Miami Dade Police Department had them surrounded and they were running towards the side of the bridge. What the hell did you think they were doing??? Looking at the pretty fishies???? NO!!! You shoot them in the leg or something- now you have no suspects!!!! Ugh. I was having flashbacks to Thelma and Louise and Imladris was yelling, "Keep driving, Themlma!" Why couldn't H in his infinate wisdome figure this baby out??? Ugh.
And that bastard from the Very Important Department of Money Laundering who asked Calleigh out for a drink in the video game episode is back and Calleight is just like, "*scoffs* Get away from me, ass****". Good for her.
Okay, I just lost this entire post and it magically reappeared. So I'm not going to question the Blogspot gods and simply post, okay???
One final thing, everybody must watch Teachers. It's quite funny, and we must support Riley from National Treasure.

The Masters
Okay, put down the phone that you're using to call me and tell me somebody else has hacked into my blog and is impersonating me. I promised Daddy I'd do a post about the Masters. And Daddy, you can comment by just clicking anonymous...I'm fairly certain that I won't get you mixed up with the other anonymous. 
Okay, so the Masters (which apparently is a big thing) was on this weekend. And, big surprise, we all watched it. Well, okay, that's not entirely true. I left and watched CSI and Numbers for the first two nights. And then I was pretty much gone for Saturday...and didn't really pay much attention on Sunday. But I do know that my dad pretty much didn't move except to take care of my horse all weekend. So I'm thinking this was a long thing. And when I was in the room I just had so many comments.
First, who told that one guy that orange was a good color on anything??? Oranges don't look good in orange!!! And there was this one Japanese guy who was (I swear) wearing my pants. Really. I'm pretty sure he got those in the GAP ladies department. They were quite "sits low on waist, slim through the hip and thigh and slightly flared at the hem." And he paied it with this awful turquoise thing that was skin tight. Oh, I'm feeling a little nauseated just thinking about it.
And Phil Mickleson won...I'm not sure how we feel about this as half the time my dad was yelling about how Fred Couple (wha???) should be winning, but then he said he liked this guy too. Anyhoodles, the only reason I know who he is is the man boobs. I think he should wear that green jacket everywhere. Or some jacket. Hell, even a thick sweater. I'm so mean...
And then I saw his wife (*cough*ROOTS!!!!*cough*). And realized that he must be very, very rich. Seriously, she's gorgeous. Really gorgeous. The should-have-been-taken-care-of roots notwithstanding, she was stunning. With two perfect little children. Okay, hon. You may be gorgeous, but if you're going to refrain from cutting your son's hair for years at time. don't dress him up in white bloomers. Because I thought he was a girl until this morning when I saw something about "him" on a website while I was looking for this picture. She may be pretty, but she's not bright...
No, no, I kid. They looked like a wonderful family and very happy and maybe now with this time off Phil can get that beginning of a mullet taken care of...

Lots and lots and lots of shows...
...sorry it's been awhile, I've been busy and tired this past week and haven't really been able to keep up. So I'm just going to write about marious shows I've watched, which makes it easier for anonymous to pick out the ones she doesn't want to read because I will be delivering the tape to her shortly (btw, you'll love them). On with the post (these are in order that I watched them...
Numbers
I like this show, I really do. And I have no intention of stopping watching it. But it's kind of like a poor man's CSI- kind of like all the characters are there but something's a little bit off. Anyhoo, this week's was good- a female Iraqi lawyer is killed while she's in the US promoting something political...I don't know, I was majorly spacing. But she's dead, and the brilliant FBI team finds out that she was married to a non-Muslim American. Oh the drama. I actually forgot who killed her. Hmmm. I know there was a raid, but I'm completely blanking on who did it. Wow.
Maybe because I've been trying to gouge out my mind's eye all week after watching all that hot Barney-the-head-elf on Jane-Parsons-from-DNA action that was on the show. Yeah, that woman from CSI:NY who shows up occasionally to speak in a British accent and deliver bombshells about paternity of whatnot guested as Charlie's ex-girlfriend. Who's getting married. And slept with Charlie in the basement. Yeah. Jane Parsons from DNA is kind of a ho.
CSI:Miami
Wasn't on. Boooooo!!!!!!!!
The Apprentice
Okay, here's my theory. The only thing that the Donald likes less than a guy who will screw over his friends is a guy who steadfastly refuses to. And Lenny's going to win the damn thing because he knows how to keep his mouth shut.
This was a good episode, they all had to write a jingle, which led to countless Soviet Union jingle jokes. Good times.
Anyhoo, I totally think that thsi show has overstayed it's welcome, but it's so narcisstically good I don't even care!
Teachers
I so hope this show does well, because Riley deserves to have a career. Okay, he's not Riley here, he's Jeff Cahill, but still. He'll always be Riley. Anyhoo, it's a really funny show, so people should start watching!!! Tuesday's at eight-thirty.
House
What can I say? House is perfect. Wilson is still living in House's apartment, as EW says, because clearly oncologists can't afford hotels. The scene in the elevator was priceless- when he hides behind the sheet??? Loved it. I'm completely over my moral outrage and now just really, really want to buy the DVDs...
Boston Legal
Repeat, when that little kid is kidnapped and Denise and Brad must go save him because they are the most attractive members of the cast and thus are relegated to doing everything that requires looking like a hero...yeah. Still good.
Lost
Oh, J.J. Abrams and Jerry Bruckheimer are now going to have to fight over my first born. Well, not really, because Jerry gave me Johnny as a hot pirate, so clearly he'll win, but I might have to give J.J. my second.
This week we focused on Hurley, who apparently killed two people by making a balcony collapse on them. Bummer, huh? And he's got this mother of a friend who doesn't want him to lose weight.
Gasp #1- The friend is on the Island
Gasp#2- The friend doesn't exist.
Gasp#3- The friend tells Hurley that the Island is all in his head.
Wait. I'm confused. Last season this was all a figment of Jack's imagination. Who's mind are we in now???? And then he kisses Libby who is (and I quote) "cute in that Other kind of way." And finally we have...*drum roll, please*
Gasp #4- Libby was in the psych ward with Hurley.
OHMYGOD WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! My mind just exploded with conspiracy theories.
Criminal Minds
Awesome. We love poisonings. Especially related to bioterrorism. And the reveal when they were like, "Wait. The punch is a decoy." I'm like, "Oh no you di'n't..."
CSI:NY
I don't know, I don't have a whole lot to say about this one. Maybe because I've seen it so many times. I saw it the first time it was on, then once in reruns over the summer, then on my DVDs, and last night. So yeah, I'm kind of over being astonished at Danny having mob connections. Which we all should have known already because he has a shifty beard.
The last scene is priceless, though. We get to see Mac go all The Few the Proud and when the guy goes, "Ask Danny Messer. He works for you, right?" Stella's look of "Wait. What???" is priceless.
New ep this week, though. A guy dresses up like Superman and saves people. I'm not entirely sure why CSI is on this, but whatever. My bet is on Superman getting kinky. That's a pretty safe bet with CSI.
CSI: Regular
oooh, veddy veddy good episode. Especially at the end, when you realize that it was all power of suggestion in the first place. I'm totally warming to CSI:Vegas...I've even started watching it on Spike at six... New episode next week too- yayness!!!!!!!!
One thing, though, where were the girls this week? Catherine breezed in to talk about her family vacation with Dad the loser and Sara wasn't in it at all. And why is everybody so mean to Greg???
Without a Trace
Repeat, but it was okay because the first time it was on I ended up so disgusted with the child pornography that I stopped watching. I'm way more into the show now, though, so we kept it on.
I love Without a Trace. Although they should fire that Latina chick who has nothing to do but be Latina. And I'm so happy it's back after a month of basketball. The episode next week looks awsie too; don't you dare refer to your kid as "it" when Jack is in the room. He will notice it and kick your ass. Huh.
Whew...I'm tired. New Numbers tonight!!! Yayness!!!

Lost and CSI:NY- *faints* (And a couple others)
Oh my freakin' gosh. Lost has been delivering like, well, Lost for the past two weeks. The last couple of minutes of last weeks? *shivers*
Just a quick rundown, Henry Gale is not Henry Gale (like we couldn't have figured that out), Locke is still a crazy who was dumped by the mom from Married...With Children (how sad is that???), he's still nursing a mother of a grudge against Dad, who faked his death only come back and screw up even more of poor Locke's life, and now he has massive puncture wounds in his legs from a scene that I had to watch with a pillow over my head. Sun is preggers, even though Jin can't have kids (Side Note: Won't it be season five or so before her kid is born? Talk about your tedious...). Kate is experimenting with a new hairstyle. It's not going well.
This week we find Locke alone with "Henry Gale" (*cough*OTHER*cough*) who is playing mind games and pitting Locke against Jack. Oh honey. Don't go up against the hot doctor. You will always lose. I don't care how Buddha-serene-creey you've been lately, you will lose. And it will hurt. Jack is beating Sawyer's ass at poker (the poker craze actually started after they were supposed to be stranded on the island. And since I'm fairly certain that the Hatch doesn't get Bravo, I'm not so sure how they're so great at this craze.)
Speaking of the hatch, there was some kind of freaky lockdown and Locke got stuck under the doors, and the Other had to push the buttons (OMG, now he knows the Numbers!!!!!!!!! WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and all sorts of hell broke loose and there was this map that I totally didn't understand.
And Sayid, Charlie, and the Evil Witch are off searcing for the Other's balloon and grave, which they find, and dig up, and discover the body of a dead man with a drivers license on him for Henry Gale from Minnesota. *gasp* And then the episode ended. *gasp again* How many more days till Wednesday???
CSI:NY was also really good. Last week's was good, too, but in Miami it would have been resolved in five minutes because the little boy would have opened up to H and the whole thing would have ended. Apparently Mac isn't quite as endearing. I disagree, but whatever.
This week somebody hijacked a helicopter with a donor organ and killed a bunch of people and stuff. Yeah, it was kind of complicated. And the little crime was a woman who was killed in an alley. She was practically a nun by CSI standards, there were only two different semen deposits found. And one (*gasp*) was from the guy who raped Aiden's friend. You know, the one who was so bad that Aiden falsified evidence and got herself fired for??? Yeah, him. So now Mac and Stella are on a personal revenge quest that will probably drag on to the end of the season.
Oh, and Evil Hot Doctor stole the liver, because his wife needed one. Awww...wait, actually, that's really not nice. And then Mac got all wounded widower on him and was like, "Yeah, well, at least you had time to say goodbye. When Osama killed my wife, I didn't get anything..." Well, he didn't really say that, but Imladris and I filled it in. Awesome episode, though. Next week's is a repeat of the season finale from last year. *cough*WHORE!!!!*cough* BOOO!!!!!!!!!
My other shows have also been delivering like Lost. Criminal Minds was freaking awesome, but Reid has got to learn that explaining hte concept of transference during a makeout session is not hot. And that girl was way too big to be a starlet. She would be like the fat best friend. Don't get me wrong, I would kill to look like her, but have you seen women on TV lately??? Ribs are an attractive accessory.
My Monday night comedies were also quite good. Except How I Met Your Mother was a repeat, which confused me greatly.
And House is finally back on!!!!!!!! WHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so freakin' happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So yeah, good week, TV-wise. I'll watch my CSI:Regular and Without a Trace tape and probably put something up later. Everybody watch Numbers tonight, it's finally back on!!!

Crapload of Shows, Part 3
See how much I love you, dear readers??? I should be going over the incredibly thick, annoying file on Clarence Thomas that I have to read for that blasted government class (there's more on that on my regular blog), but instead I'm updating for you. Awww... No, seriously, I know it's been like forever, but I've been busy with school and crap. So I have no choice but to combine all of my opinions into one long post, k??? We begin with...
CSI:Miami~ H is gonna be a daddy!!!!
Probably a single one, too, because anyone with a rudimentary grasp of exactly what causes cells to reproduce like crazy (not good when you have cancer) will know that it is hormones. Like estrogen. And anyone with a rudimentary grasp of women or pregnancy or the world in general will know that when you're pregnant, your body goes crazy and makes tons and tons of estrogen.
Bye, bye Marisol.
No, no, I don't mean that. I really want her to live and make Horatio happy and everything. Mainly I don't want her to die because that will freak out my mom and I'll never ever be able to watch it in the living room again.
Of course, this is all speculation, really; we'll have to wait for a new episode to find out if she's really going to go through with it. Is Monday's new??? I hope so...
CSI:NY~
Hasn't been new in awhile. Except for that creepy water tower one. Last week's repeat was good, though. I kind of forgot what it was about, but I know that it had the really funny scene where Stella's in her office, giggling on the phone presumably with that Frank guy and then was like, "Um, yeah, I've got to go now," when Mac came in. She should have added, "Plan A just walked in. Call you back."
New episode tonight, though. Yayness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Criminal Minds~
Well, I don't know what is going on in this show. I do, however, know about Billy Graham. That's what was on last week instead. Crazy CBS people. I love you so much and then you screw me over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CSI: Regular~
This week we find Grissom and his team...oh, wait. They've disappeared. Instead there are seven foot tall morons throwing a freakin' ball around.
The Apprentice~
Okay, I felt badly for Brent when they did the the numerous "butter" compilations (you know, where he butters everything...like, a lot.) , but now I'm really glad they fired him. Really glad. He bugged me. Although that Charmaine is getting pretty damn annoying, too.
American Idol~
OMG, BARRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, Barry Manilow was on last night. The one hour of TV that my mom could not rip her eyes away from.
Seriously, if I have to watch Simon mentally undress Katherine McPhee one more time I will throw up. Really. I am not kidding. It's disgusting.
And that gray-haired guy that everybody adores really bugs me. He needs to stop jumping up and down so damn much and just sing. And who told him that matching the suit to the hair and then topping the look off with sneakers was a good idea???
Meanwhile, I love that little Kevin guy. You know, the one who looks like he's thirteen. So adorable. I hope he wins.
Grey's Anatomy~
Maybe less people would die if you'd all stop acting like rabbits and...um...reproducing all the time. Like in the hospital. That can't be sanitary. For anyone.
Various New Shows~
With the midseason repalcements coming in, I've actually started watching a couple of new shows. Now, I'm not a huge Julia Louis Dreyfus fan, but The New Adventures of Old Christine (once you get past the title), is actually quite funny. Sons and Daughters, however, is not. I was looking to this to be the next Arrested Development, but it's nowhere near as funny. And you don't immediately warm to the characters. Any of them. I was quite disappointed.
Final note- Riley from National Treasure is getting a sitcom!!!! Yay- we love Riley!!!!!!!!!!! It's called Teachers, and it's on NBC starting next Tuesday (the 28th) at 8:30. I really hope it's good. He's funny enough to deserve a career. Everybody watch, okay???
Whew, I'm tired. I worked hard on this- comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Freakin' Basketball
Programming people are bastards. Absolute freaking bastards.
Apparently, there's some big college basketball thing going on. And no, I'm not pulling a Paris Hilton when she pretended not to know what Wal-Mart is. I really didn't know about this. And guess which network had the good fortune of broadcasting it? CBS.
The only network with anything good on it. Of the hours and hours of television I watch a week, three of it is on other channels. I watch Boston Legal and Lost on ABC and House on FOX. That's it. All of my CSI's are going to be gone for a very long time!!!!!!!!!!!! *sob* *bigger sob*
This is worse than the House/World Series debacle of last fall. My CSI's are way more important.
I'm going to go wear black and light some candles. And I had a bunch of other stuff to say about other shows, so maybe I'll put something up later.

Crapload of Shows, Part 2
I believe that is the correct unit of shows, right? :)
Yeah, there's just been too much good stuff on lately to pass up. Althoug more than one person needs to comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody tells me how much they like it, but then they DON'T COMMENT!! At least anonymous is dedicated...
Anyhoodles, here's all the stuff I've been watching in the order that I remembered it...I'm so scientific...
Dancing With the Stars~
Oh, the joy. Stacy with the legs up to here didn't win. In fact, she came in third! Behind the football player guy who seems to be famous but I've never heard of! See, women do not appreciate that!!!! And we like Drew Lachey---the Lachey family needs something now, I guess. Although if I was his massively pregnant wife sitting on the sideline watching him grind on that stick insect, well, let's just say that they would never find her body. Or maybe just teeny, tiny pieces of it. Teeny. Tiny.
Olympic Closing Ceremony~
Oh, the sadness. The Olympics are over. I realized that I'll be graduating from college the next time the winter games are on. And then I started to get freaked out. A lot.
The closing ceremony was pretty artsy and weird and I totally didn't get that whole ice fishing thing. And Ricky Martin??? What??? I mean, Andrea Bocelli was awesome, and I could kind of see where they were going with Avril Lavigne with her being Canadian and all, but Ricky Martin??? That's so not right. Neither were the fishnets the backup dancers were wearing. A prostitute somewhere is going, "Oh, that's tacky..."
And I thought they said that the mayor of Vancouver was a quadropalegic??? When he moved his arms it go significantly less interesting...
Grey's Anatomy~
Oh, the promiscuity. Anybody else really hate Meredith Grey??? Anybody??? Especially after she broke George's heart and then started hanging out with McDreamy again??? Who has just reconciled with his wife, who is now stricken with poison oak where no woman wants to have poison oak...
Anyhoodles, this week on The Brilliant and the Horny, George does voice-over duties for Meredith, who is presumably off being moody and strange. (Ellen Pompeo is also, by the way, the worst cryer ever. Seriously.) Alex and Izzy are being all weird and self absorbed and I'm not entirely sure what happened to Cristina because she's apparently stopped being a focal point and is now just shacking up with her boss. Which is okay in her case, but clearly not in Merediths??? I'm very confused.
And somebody seriously needs to give Chandra Wilson a Golden Globe or Emmy or something. That woman is so funny. The scenes with her and Addison in the exam room were absolutely hilarious. I'm so back into this show.
Cold Case~
Oh, the procedural crime drama. Now, I'm sure that this is a fine show, and I'll probably watch again, but this week's was about a lonely thirty-year-old who lives with her mom and likes to read instead of going out. And when she finally gets asked out, dude kills her. I was feeling nauseous eight minutes in. That's so me. Anyhoodles, this does seem like a good show. My pitiful life aside.
The Apprentice~
Oh, the self-absorption. I'd forgotton how much fun this show is to watch and laugh at, because it's always been up against CSI and that creates a Big Issue in my house. But they are so funny---business people who are so into themselves are a hoot. And you know how they touted this as so "international"??? Yeah. I counted two. One Briton and one Russian. Who the Donald was repeated referring to as "the Russian". I didn't thinkt hat was very nice.
And I love how nauseatingly loquacious they are...when you ask a normal person what the name of your company should be, they probably give you the answer. They don't spend ten minutes g0ing, "Okay, I'll tell you what I think. And then you can respond, okay? I think this is a good plan..."
And I was totally rooting for the lone unattractive guy there, but he's just annoying now. They can can his ass for all I care. Just make him shut the hell up.
CSI:Miami~
Oh, the best of them all. Nobody does crime drama like CSI. Just a brief rundown of this episode, because my fingers are tired and it's number 4 in the ratings- it doesn't need me. Delko's still a manwhore, Alexx left for like five minutes and then came back, Ryan may or may not be blind, but he certainly is using his supposed affliction to draw out the mole, who is totally Natalia, and Ryan and Calleigh were totally flirting at the end. It was disgusting.
And Colleen and I figured out the story twenty minutes in. I feel so smart.

Crapload of Shows
First- Supernanny is coming back next Monday. Yay---craziness...
I didn't have a whole lot of time on Thursday or Friday, so I had like three hours of shows to watch today. Luckily, I have no life and this did not pose a problem. :p
Anyhoodles, I'm totally in love with Numbers. It's really good!!! Even with all that math crap. And it gives me something to watch on Friday. Although tha main girl's accent is getting a little annoying. It's like New York meets Canada meets southern California...scary. This week's was a very confusing military story that I totally didn't understand but enjoyed anyway. And the two brothers are fighting over this girl that they used to know in high school and is now inexplicably getting married in their backyard. That was the same girl who played the DA in Miami that they brought in last season to make Horatio nervous for a few episodes before realizing that nobody cares about what CSIs do after they go home.
As if I didn't have enough shows to watch on Wednesday (new Lost and CSI:NY this week!!!!!!! I'm literally dying of happiness...), I am now completely addicted to Criminal Minds, which I cannot believe is not a Jerry Bruckheimer show because of how much I love it. And we all know how much I love pretty much anything he does. Except the accents confused me a bit (maybe anonymous can help)- were they like on location or something, because everybody they talked to had a really annoying southern accent, and then all the FBI guys or whatever sounded perfectly normal. And then I started thinking- when was the last time there was a main character on a TV drama with a southern accent??? I can't think of one.
CSI was the repeat of that awesome episode with the "missing" little boy and the two sets of parents---absolutely unbelievably good. I am now totally into Vegas.
Without a Trace was repeat, but I just started watching that show so I've never seen it. Jack and some guy I don't know (I only know Jack because he played Daphne's brother Simon on Frasier...so funny...everytime I see him I think of him playing drunk and with an accent...actually undermines the credibility of the show a little bit...) are in Mexico helping this woman who we all knew two minutes in was guilty of something because she was being such a bitch about getting help. Because if I was in trouble in Mexico you can bet your ass that I'd be fully exercising every single one of my rights as a US citizen. But it was really good-I'm glad Rosa didn't have anything to do with it, because she just seemed very nice. And at the end when the guy goes, "What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico," I was like, "Yeah! Lock her ass up!!!!" Ahem, sorry. Got a little carried away, there.
The other thing I've been watching pretty much all the time because it's the only thing that won't offend the Boy or my mom (generally there aren't gay jokes or naked people- although did you see that Ukrainian's costume????) in primetime. And I have to say, it's been very interesting. Sasha Cohen and Irina Slutskaya both fell flat on their behinds within minutes of each other, paving the way for a less-polished skater from Japan. Who looked like somebody punched her when she won. Kind of cute. And I don't know, I just don't like Sasha Cohen. Somebody else on the web said she looked like of like that popular pretty girl that you went to high school with and was never very nice. That could be completely wrong, but I just didn't warm to her.
And we got another Russian sob story, except this one was without subtitles. Although they needed them, because Irina has one hell of an accent let me tell you. This time it was that mom is having kidney failure and Irina has to skate through the pain. Awww...I am such an emotional pushover. I actually wanted her to win after that.
And did you know that Johnny Weir went to practice wearing an old USSR jacket??? The Ukrainians and Lithuanians were probably standing backstage going, "Hey!!! That's not nice!!!", while the Russians were just like, "Eh, the good old days. We thought they'd never end. Remember when we put men the womens swimming races, and nobody noticed! Good times..." (Okay, I stole the swimmer thing from Imladris, but this time I'm giving her credit, so she can't get mad.)
Whew, I'm tired. And nothing is on tonight, except for Forrest Gump, which isn't exactly bloggable, so I'll put something up maybe on Monday, as I most certainly will be watching Grey's Anatomy.

CSI:NY- Innocent Dolls and Sordid Secrets
Is there anything as creepy as a doll??? I don't think so. Really. Think of something really freaky. Ten bucks its a clown or a doll. Even though I was an avid doll fan (I had Baby Alive, and I was just amazed by the fact that she wet herself. I was an easy to please child...) when I was little, I kind of shrieked a little when I first saw the commercial for this episode.
Basically, there's a dead guy, who is a little bit too into his job as a doll "doctor". Like he makes his assistant/secretary dress up like a nurse.
(I'd just like to applaud CSI right here for not turning this into a bondage/fantasy/something else weird substory like I would have expected. Frankly, I was surprised. And a little relieved.)
Anyway, I'm confused because I'm trying to figure out how this guy died. He's obviously dead, but the only thing I can see is that his finger is cut. Which, I guess when you cut the radial artery in the finger, that'll do it. But it took me awhile to figure out. But the main thing is that Dead Guy is clutching a doll in his hand. I'm still confused about this- it seems like the scientific analysis is that it was a post-mortem muscle spasm, but then everybody was talking about how he was just holding on tight.
Oh, and I'd just like to beg the writers to give Mac something better to say before the song. "Something about this little doll was worth dying for"???? Come on. That doesn't really even mean anything. If it were a real crime scene, they'd assume that Dead Guy was using the little doll to beat off the attacker with. Sheesh.
But we're not done with the doll- oh no. After tearing her apart to make sure she wasn't a drug mule (because six-year-old girls traffic in coke a whole lot) Lindsay in her infinate country-girl wisdom finds out that Sophie has a secret. And, being CSI, you know it's gonna be sordid.
And it is.
We know this, because they keep replaying it, over and over and over again. It's like the writers got pissed off at censors and were like, "This is the only sex thing you'll let us have? Okay, we're going to put it in here like twenty times for absolutely no reason!!!!" So Mac and Lindsay listen to this thing, and then Mac goes, "It sounds like she found someone in a compromising position."
No way. What would we do without him? See, this is why he has the corner office.
So they trace the doll back to a woman who looks like Amy Poehler, and her adorable and yet slightly creepy daughter. Whom Lindsay almost beat up when she refused to tell her what the message that the doll help meant.
Anyhoodles, they wrap this up pretty well with Amy Poehler sleeping with a student, and all the adult CSIs look righeously outraged, even Lindsay who looks like she graduated from high school last spring.
The other story line was pretty boring. Stella and Hawkes were investigating the death of a young woman with cancer who was being poisoned. Talk about your bad day, huh??? Turns out the neighbor killed her so he could get his hands on her apartment and build a nursery. Yeah, that totally makes sense. I really want a car, so I think I'm going to kill the next person who drives down my road and take it. Really, they need some new motives on this show....
Next weeks it new, so we're thrilled to death about that. Look for another Olympic thing later tonight or tomorrow- I want to do a figure skating thing. If you want to know who won, check out NBC's Olympic site. Total spoilers, though. Be warned.

So Mac and Lindsay listen to this thing, and then Mac goes, "It sounds like she found someone in a compromising position."
No way. What would we do without him? See, this is why he has the corner office.
So they trace the doll back to a woman who looks like Amy Poehler, and her adorable and yet slightly creepy daughter. Whom Lindsay almost beat up when she refused to tell her what the message that the doll help meant.
Anyhoodles, they wrap this up pretty well with Amy Poehler sleeping with a student, and all the adult CSIs look righeously outraged, even Lindsay who looks like she graduated from high school last spring.
The other story line was pretty boring. Stella and Hawkes were investigating the death of a young woman with cancer who was being poisoned. Talk about your bad day, huh??? Turns out the neighbor killed her so he could get his hands on her apartment and build a nursery. Yeah, that totally makes sense. I really want a car, so I think I'm going to kill the next person who drives down my road and take it. Really, they need some new motives on this show....
Next weeks it new, so we're thrilled to death about that. Look for another Olympic thing later tonight or tomorrow- I want to do a figure skating thing. If you want to know who won, check out NBC's Olympic site. Total spoilers, though. Be warned.

Live Blogging the Evening's Viewing
The only chair that isn't taken is the one by the computor. And I'm bored. Thus, ridiculously long post. Deal with it. Tonight is pretty much American Idol, I think. It's the guys, who always think that rock or country is a good way to go. I want pop, damnnit. No Olympic drama tonight- the carnage that is ice dancing is completely over, and Chad Hendricks and Shauni Davis aren't around to bitch-slap each other anymore, so it's barely worth it, right?? Anyhoodles, I'm bored, so here goes...
7:39- Oh, the evening is off to a bad start. A boy who is way too pretty and way too young is doing a Jackson 5 song. Why do peole insist upon loving that molestor???
7:40- Randy just told him he was perfect, and that he loves him, which is pretty much how he has responded to everybody this season. I think he failed gastic bypass has helped him become more loving.
7:42- Simon needs to realize that he has man boobs. And dress accordingly.
7:44- Ha! Somebody doing Cher. Hehehe
7:50- HAHAHAHAHA- the monkey commercial with the laser pointers!!! That kills me!!!!!
(nine billion years later)
7:57- What do you know. Still country.
8:01- GAH!!!!!!!!!! Switched over to Lost and found a bloody Jack in a suit!!! Going to go pour cold water on my head. They're replaying the pilot, the five people in this country who steadfastly refuse to watch it should go get acquainted with it- NOW!!!!
8:02- I'm freakin' serious.
8:05- Jack just jumped on top of Claire to protect her from a random blast. We now hate Claire.
8:08-Imladris just said that this is like seeing baby pictures of her best friends. Except she doesn't know any of them. Where did Jack's tie go, do you think??? And why doesn't wear that suit more often?
8:10- KATE!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's their first meeting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:12- SEPTIC SAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not being outacted by his hair, ironically...
8:12:30-SAYID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, this is totally like baby pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:20- Oooh, low growl. Really, they need to decide on a monster. There's the "low growl" thing, the black smoke, the Others, that thing that sucked the pilot out of the plane, and what happened to the polar bears???? Am I the only one who doesn't know what happened to the polar bears???
Okay, so the funness of seeing all my little castaways for the very first time is wearing off. Now they're just getting tedious. And I have to stop watching in twenty minutes anyways because CSI:NY comes on and there is nothing I wouldn't do for my CSI's...including miss the last half of teh Lost pilot. Well, really because I've seen it before. If I hadn't, we'd be having an emotional breakdown right now and perhaps dragging another TV in to watch simultaneously. Yeah, that would totally work. So cheerio (been watching Monty Python, too...) my little readers. I'll put something up tomorrow, k??? :)
