Random TV for the week

Current Mood:Confused emoticon Confused

Dexter is getting better and better. I originally disliked the love triangle but it’s getting pretty damn good. I hope Doakes isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Love the dynamic between him and Dexter and it got ramped up Sunday to the nth degree. Good stuff.

Weeds is pretty much a parody of it’s self at this point. Do like the story of the youngest now “seeing” and “talking” to his dead dad. Poor little bastard.

I finally saw the “Booze Cruise” episode of The Office, and didn’t realize how big that episode was. I LOVED it when Jim broke it off with his lady friend. It was so cringe-worthy.

House was awesome as per usual. I knew that Michael Michelle was gonna get fired but didn’t expect it so quickly. Finally get some insight into “number 13″ next week. I totally dig her by the way. Surprised Kumar’s lasted as long as he has as well as the “bitch”.

Chuck gets an automatic win once again this week as he had an Oldboy poster in his room. He may have had it in there in past episodes but I never noticed it. Decent episode as well.

My Name is Earl & The Office

Current Mood:Confused emoticon Confused

Earl was the clear winner this week. I mean it had H.R. Pufnstuf, Crabman and his beautiful song “Please Respect the Meat”, a telenovela, and of course…ninjas. My favorite episode of the year.

Office was…odd. Not as funny, but not bad. Had some emotional moments. My favorite being when Jim consoled Dwight over his relationship with Angela.

A lot of great lines as always, and loved the entire who/whom scene, and when Michael says “No one asked you anything ever so whomevers name is Toby, why don’t you take a letter opener and stick it in your skull.” And Kelly saying, “Ryan used ME as an object.” And, Kevin saying “I know, but I’m not telling because nobody showed up last night”. Just a really great scene.

It’s like eating a hot circle of garbage!

This weeks Office was on fire. Funny throughout, with a sprinkle of touching, nice moments to keep it a balanced show. Loved Stanley dancing to the music on the website, and of course Dwight’s sales battle vs the “self aware” computer. Angela has reached new heights of bitchiness. Darryl is so gonna nail Kelly. The lack of Creed sucked. That is all…

Wait, no it isn’t. Earl was ok, nothing great though.

New TV Season 1st week grades…

Current Mood:Bored emoticon Bored

…of the shows I actually watched. First up…

House - My favorite show on TV. And even without the 3 co-stars who are no longer under the employ of one Dr. House, the show was still really good. As detailed below in an earlier post, House is awesome! (B+)

Heroes - My second favorite show didn’t fare as well in it’s premiere. No real direction yet, so the show just kinda meandered along. Nothing great about this first episode, but I expect it to get better as the season goes on. (C)

Bionic Woman - Has potential, and may just make it a full season, but some of the dialogue was just bad. Story is pretty good thus far, and like that the main character isn’t the only “Bionic Woman”. Special effects were ok, and fight scenes leave a little to be desired. Alot of that horrible camera moving and shaking crap like is so prevalent in the Bourne movies. (C-)

Chuck - The biggest surprise thus far. I really enjoyed this. Very likable character’s, decent fun story, and believable acting. Not sure how long they can stretch this show out with the plot device they’re using. Really hope this show continues on for awhile. (B)

The Office - The best comedy on TV in years, and easily the best comedy on TV now…easily. Nothing is even remotely close. The premiere didn’t disappoint. Creed was funny as always with his 10-15 seconds of airtime he tends to get. Line of the night…”You don’t know me, you just saw my penis.” Then Jim’s reaction. Also loved it when Kevin dubbed Pam & Jim “PB&J”. Good episode. (B+)

My Name is Earl - The second best comedy on TV, but just doesn’t have the same “zing” as the Office. I could miss an episode and not be upset at all. With that said it was still pretty good. Randy is usually the best part of the shows and was again here. The end was great. “Hey, I’m stealing this car!” “Bwoop, bwoop…that’s the car alarm, don’t you hear it, cuz I’m stealing this car…” LoL, good stuff. (B-)
