OK, haven't done one of these in a while, so let's hit 'er hard...
Sunday:
Some football game. Next.
Monday:
The Romantic Escapades of Thirteen and Foreman And Oh Yeah Sometimes The Main Character Whose Name Escapes Me. Sure, the new title of House will take some getting used to, but I find it's much more accurate. SNAP THE FUCK OUT OF IT, HOUSE. I'm referring to the show, not the character. Kill of 13 or Foreman or both, whatever, just get back to the status quo because no one gives a fuck about her stupid disease or Foreman's freaky nipples or how much sex they have right after brain surgery. I say we go with Cameron, Chase, Taub and Kumar as the team and everyone else can rot.
24! Still pretty good, but they're slipping back into "sockets" and "only leads" and WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR type of lazy writing. Hopefully we get to the post-WGA eps soon and they'll have turned it around with this fresh subplot of Mr. Taylor getting used as leverage against the President. EXPLODING NERD~! Poor Dr. Phlox, though.
Tuesday:
Anyone else watching this Homeland Security show? It's like Cops but with more post-9/11 paranoia and Mexicans. I like it!
Scrubs continues to rule it, HARDCORE, and it's almost a shame that it's getting some of the worst ratings of its existance and it's done for good, because they're on a serious roll this year. Ted and the Ukalele Girl was adorable, and the Worthless Peons always make it a home run. "Don't Fear the Reaper" indeed. Jacky already making poor little Sam cry was sad and hilarious. I like the new "focus on one story" approach with the reduction in actors, even if it means no Turk for a few episodes. The laid-back approach is very much in line with Season 1 and I'm digging it.
Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling wrapped up on Tuesday night here in Canada (well, on Sunday, but I watched it on the DVR on Tuesday), and as I noted on Facebook, I"m OUTRAGED that Rodzilla beat out Willis for the belt. Well, maybe outraged is a strong word, more like bored, but still Bridges looks like an actual wrestler and Rodman is more like a bored celebrity who slid by because he was friends with the owner. On second thought, maybe he IS a wrestler after all.
Wednesday:
LOST! I really really really hope they get the Oceanic 6 back to the Island, not because I care about their fates but because THEY BORE THE SHIT OUT OF ME. Once again, the time-travel stuff is boffo business (JIN LIVES! ROUSSEAU!) and a simple nosebleed suddenly becomes a major dramatic device, and I really hope no one dies because everyone is just super on the island. Even Sawyer, who has totally redeemed himself with awesomeness above and beyond the call of duty this season ("Thank you god!" "I take that back!") And Daniel's cryptic comment to Miles makes me think that in fact Miles is the baby shown in the first episode of the season. But as amazing as all that stuff is, the mainland portions really drag it down. Oh no, Kate might lose the baby that she lied about and stole from the real mother, boo hoo. Sayid choking out the gunman Bauer-style and then actually SAYING "Who are you working for" had to be a shout-out. Ben, however, wins line of the episode with his casual "Oh, yeah, it was me who was trying to blackmail you, my bad" or words to that effect. But yeah, the island stuff is just SO good that it overwhelms any suckage brought on by Jack and Kate. Which is a lot.
Life on Mars: Haven't watched tonight's episode yet, but I'd better hurry or ABC will probably cancel it off the DVR given how bad the ratings were last week. Watch it while you can, it's great stuff, but it's probably done. Guess I'll have to start watching Lie To Me instead now.
