…wish it was Sunday, that’s not funnay, I don’t have to runnay…Just another media Monday.

Sorry, the song(“Manic Monday” I think by Bananarama ) has been stuck in my head all morning. Anyway, I don’t have a life to speak of so here’s a recap of shit I’ve watched…

House returned and it’s still all kinds of awesome. I’m liking the dynamic with House, Wilson, and Vindictive Bitch even if it is a bit childish. Also Kumar is starting to grow on me…he’ll always be Kumar but he’s starting to find his way.

Of course The Office is always great and last Thursday was no different. I missed some of it thanks to Mother Nature and frequent cut-ins by the local news weatherman to tell us about said Mother Nature. Stanley was great and Michael actually handling it well in the end really helped this episode. Kind of disappointed they didn’t follow up on Toby from the previous week and his oh so creepy knee rubbing.

Earl is Earl. Consistent but nothing you have to see.

Scrubs is still very funny and I’ll say it again. Scrubs final season yet ER is still going on.

Finished up Neil Gaiman’s Eternals. Good stuff. Looking forward to the upcoming series. Hopefully it’s a continuation of Gaiman’s work. Gonna read Live Wire next.

Went and seen Iron Man yesterday and it is fuckin’ awesome! Robert Downey Jr. played the role great. They sorta touched on Stark’s drinking problem which I’m guessing will play a bigger role in the sequel. As I’m sure War Machine will also make it’s first appearance as alluded to in the film, with Terrence Howard looking at the Iron Man prototype suit and saying…”Maybe next time.” And the teaser in the end credits was sweet. Ultimate Nick Fury!

Good year for for comic nerds, what with Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk reboot, Dark Knight Returns, Hellboy 2 and the new Indiana Jones flick all hitting theater’s this summer. Can’t wait. I might go see Prince Caspian this month as well, depending on finances.

That is all…for Media Monday.

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.

I’m gonna post what I bought today.

…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-)
