Gary Unmarried

I laughed a few times so I can't say it completely blew but I still don't think it's going to last past this season. For a network that's playing an Emmy winning show that pretty much has the same premise they really should have tried harder to make the photocopy a bit better. The New Adventures of Old Christine does what Gary is trying so hard to achieve so much better. Let me tell you this, Jay Mohr is no Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Don't get me wrong, I find Jay to be funny but not that funny. I will however always have a soft spot in my heart for him based on the film Picture Perfect starring Jennifer Aniston. Always.

Getting back to the real reason we're here which is mainly me saying this show is just not up to par. If this came on in the mid season while other shows were in reruns I would watch it. Since we're at the beginning of the premiere's for the Fall season it's going to get lost in the shuffle of all the shows. I'd much rather be watching Pushing Daisies and Top Model. Hell, I think everyone would. Let me add a few positive notes though. Paula Marshall was good even though she was wasted here. She was good last season on Nip/Tuck and I even remember her in Cupid with Jeremy Piven. She needs a better agent. Let's work on that shall we? She could have Carla Gugino's career or at least something closer to it than she has now. I guess that's all of my positive notes on the show. I suppose I'll just end this by asking all of you to support Pushing Daisies. They're on at the same time only it's far superior. Please watch it, I'd like it to make it to a third season.

Tina as Sarah

Tina Fey is the man/woman/everything. I've decided to come out of my family vacation weekend haze and share with all of you the clip from the opener of last night's episode. I was able to watch the opener and the first sketch but not the rest of the first half hour. I'm praying it was funny because I have to say the last hour after Weekend Update wasn't so great. I'd like to say I forgive them but I'm not so sure I feel that way. Traditionally they put the best sketches first and the less successful ones are left for the last thirty minutes. I guess I'll just have to pray they get it right sooner or later. You want them to hit it out the park every time but I realize that’s just not possible. Some sketches are funny so randomly…you have all seen the Debbie Downer sketch with Lindsay Lohan haven’t you? That one is definitely in the top 10 of my all time favorite sketches. I’m going to let you all watch the skit above and come back tomorrow with more thoughts on everything. Must hang with the family now, I’m starting to become an anti social freak over here in the corner.

Folks In Town

My parents are visiting for the weekend so I'm going to suspend posting until Monday. I hope everyone has a good weekend and I'll be back Monday with my thoughts on the premiere of Grey's. I hope those kids do it right this season. Seriously, Derek and Meredith better work it all out. Seriously.

Emmy Roundup

Alright. I finally watched the damn Emmy's. After watching them I realized I probably saved myself by not live blogging. I would have just been the bitchiest bitch ever. Seriously. The opening was terrible and the whole super long bit about nothing was a complete and total waste of time. I would have rather watched Heidi squeak some pre-fabbed lines all night. It was the lowest rated Emmy's since they started rating them way back in the 1970s. Couldn't they have offered Ellen a gazillion dollars to do it? She was a great host and made people laugh and truly seemed to enjoy herself. These nutsos the other night were just a big bore.

Something pleasant though...30 Rock won Best Comedy and Best Leading Actor/Actress in a Comedy for Alec Baldwin and Tiny Fey. Love the Fey. She superb and Alec Baldwin is the shit. Breaking Bad won a Best Actor in a Drama award for Hal from Malcolm in the Middle. Since I do literally watch nearly everything on TV I have to say I did watch this show and I did like it. It'll be on for a second season before we know it so look out for it. Don't worry if you forget I'll be here to remind you. Mad Men won Best Drama and I have to say I totally expected them to win. Everyone and their mother is in love with this show and it's a great ensemble piece and I doubt anyone in the audience was surprised they won.

Željko Ivanek won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama and he received what sounded like some of the biggest applause for the whole evening. This man has played supporting roles in just about everything which leads me to believe that half of the actors in the room had actually worked with him. Bravo to him and a cupcake to anyone who can properly pronounce his name. I actually did bake cupcakes this evening so send me your address and I'll send the C-cake in an airtight container. I would actually try and do that so if you're interested give it a shot.

The Emmy's bored me and this commentary is boring me as well. I'm going to end it here and wait patiently for the Golden Globe Awards. I may have previously stated here that they're my favorite of all the awards shows. TV and movie stars in one big room with food and drink and camera crews. Dink! Magic. It's only about 4 short months away. There's an entire Fall TV season to get back to now. I must go and watch Lipstick Jungle. There's a new piece on the block...well, he was new last Spring, he's just starting to bloom now. Ladies and gentleman...Robert Buckley.

A Piece Premieres

One of my favorite pieces returned to television last night. The hotness that is Simon Baker was on for a full hour on CBS. The show was alright but it's not the show I'm interested in, I'm just into my piece. He'll be on every week and since it's CBS and it's a procedural there's a pretty good chance it'll be back next season too. Ah, something yummy to watch week after week. I suppose I should stop gushing and really get on with the judging of the show. What the hell, I'm going to give it a free pass this week and in 7 days I'll be back with a true review and my thoughts on the show. I think I was just in a haze of the hotness this week and barely listened to what was going on. I found myself rewinding parts because I just really wasn't paying attention. Next week I'll do better. Promise.

The 60th AnnualPrimetime Emmy Awards

Unfortunately I have to say that I will be unable to live blog the Emmy's this evening due to unforseen circumstances. It is with great sadness that I pass this information along to you. I will be back tomorrow with all of my thoughts on the winners and the losers. I hope you enjoy the awards and as soon as I can I will update you. Cheers!

A Funny Piece

SNL is going to attempt to redeem itself for it's choice of premiere host last week in the form of the hot piece that is James Franco. This is the guy who played James Dean convincingly and won a Golden Globe for his performance. He's been on my radar since I watched Freaks and Geeks in college and even then I knew what a piece he was. I even dragged a friend to the movies to watch Tristan and Isolde, that's dedication. The movie wasn't so bad though only because it had my other piece Rufus Sewell in it. Ah, two pieces in a romantic period piece, that's heaven. But back to SNL. I truly hope the show is funny tonight, it needs to be. I can't imagine it not being funny at least in parts. It's very rare for the show to be ridiculous all the way through, although I still hold out hope week after week. I've included a clip of James being hot and funny...sigh.

Live Blogging the Emmy Awards

Hi there. It's that time of year again...we're just a short three days away from the "biggest night" in television. Personally my favorite awards show is The Golden Globes. Hell, I love award shows in general but with the Globes you get TV and movie people together in one room with booze and only good things happen. Anyway, I will be live blogging my second event this year and can't wait. It has to be a better show than the Teen Choice Awards were. If they have another show in the round though I will not be happy. How sad was it that America Ferrara's cast had to watch her accept her Best Actress award by staring at her ass. No thank you, let's not do that again. With five hosts sharing the stage this year at least the competition will make it interesting. Each of the five nominees for best reality show host will be emceeing the event so everyone be nice to Ryan. Scratch that, let's throw rocks at Ryan and giggle when Heidi squeaks her lines. Tom will tell bad jokes and Howie will too. Jeff, eh, I've never watched Survivor so I can't speak to his hosting skills or skills in general actually...hell, ignore Jeff. So now all you have to do is sign up below and you'll be reminded of my live blogging the show on Sunday. Can't wait to catch you all here.

Fringe

This show is blowing my mind right now. I'm in love with it and it's only the second episode. The first 10 minutes had me bouncing on the couch and looking behind me to see who might be lurking in the shadows. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a chicken shit and I'll be jumping in my seat for weeks to come. Hell, I won't even watch the Terminator show too late at night. This is all very strange since I love horror films. Back to Fringe though.

It's creeping me out big time. They pulled a girl's eye out of her head to see the very last image she saw before she died. The crazy science-y stuff that goes into creating this show is unbelievable. I'm just a regular girl living in a big city unaware of all the crap that's out there and I feel I may be jumping into a very deep pool and forgetting how to swim if I blog about this show every week. There's going to be tons of bloggers out there with nothing better to do that pick apart every aspect of this show and while I'm enjoying it I don't know if that's for me. It's like watching Lost. There's no way I'm going to nitpick through every episode. So if you're looking for super in depth Fringe talk here...you're out of luck. What I will talk about it is how Pacey..I mean, Peter is coming across as the comic relief...I guess with an IQ of 190 all you can be is the funny. His dad's really the one with all the smarts anyhow. Only two eps have aired so far so it's too early to tell if he's going to be any real help in figuring out what all this means and what exactly The Pattern is. Is it anything like the Dharma Initiative?

Seriously JJ...I think you should try a romantic comedy of sorts next...maybe a situation comedy. What if JJ was given the opportunity to retool that crappy show 'Til Death? Think of the possibilities. I mean, death is in the title...if JJ took that show over from right where it is now I would watch it. This reminds me of something my father used to say to me. My mother has watched All My Children since before I was born. He used to tell me if they put All My Children in space he would watch it. JJ, your next project awaits.

You Are NOT the Father!

I always loved the ill fated love affair between Kelly and Colin. I guess after he got her hooked on drugs he didn't get her pregnant years later. But guess who did...Dylan! I will willingly admit that I don't remember the finale of BH90210 but I did do a little research and found out that Dylan and Kelly went off into the sunset together. Yay for them...unfortch they're not together anymore but they do have a little Kylan together, a 4 year-old which means if we're looking at a direct timeline since the finale they were together for four years before Kelly popped out her kid. Brenda still thinks Kelly is in love with him as does her love interest on the show. Boo hoo whatevs. The show blows and acting is worse. I do so love Lucille though. She needs waaay more scenes than they've given her. There was a small love triangle that's fizzled out already and the girls names I've still yet to commit to memory so I won't be diving into that plotline right now. Suffice to say I'll keep watching until it gets to the point where the box is full and I don't have time to watch anymore. Who knows when that'll be but it'll happen soon enough.

The Hero Dress

AAAAHHHHH!!!! This girl is still a rotten bitch! I thought it might get better but I still want to strangle her. I'm angry with myself for continuin to watch. I die myself Rachel, I die myself. What is wrong with me why am I still tuning in? Do I love car wrecks? I must 'cause this one's major.

Rachel's studio flooded and that was the big issue on this her second episode. She's gearing up to dress Debra Messing for the SAG Awards. Dresses were "ruined" although I bet they were dry cleaned and good as almost new. It seems that everything is going to be full of drama on this show. I don't think I can take it. Plus, as much as I've bitched about Taylor, Brad is starting to get on my nerves. These people don't even come across as real. They all sound like ditzy valley girls and I want to put the TV on mute and just watch the closed captioning. Rachel talks as though every word is a sentence. I. Die. Shut. Up. Right. Now.

She said to her husband "you know I don't like it when you trivialize what I do." Please, it is trivial bitches! Watching her hands adjusting the straps on a dress a model is wearing reminds me of the crypt keeper. A tiny fashion forward crypt keeper. Next week we get to see the somewhat infamous moment of Rachel getting turned away at Marc Jacobs from this past spring. Bananas.

Sadness

I just wrote the other day that I wanted Amy Poehler to be on SNL until the moment she goes into labor. Unfortunately for me she won't be on SNL any longer than that. I just read online that after the election she's kicking SNL to the curb. This is depressing...where are all the ladies that used to be on SNL? You must remember their heyday in the mid 90's. Cheri Oteri, Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon? The only ladies left will be Kristen Wiig and the featured performer Casey Wilson. I don't know who they're going to cast but they better be out there looking. Lorne Michaels I expect someone phenomenal to take her place. No one could replace her but someone can try to fill her shoes. I'm going to miss her running around screaming...Rick! Rick! Rick! Here's a clip for all of you to reminisce with me. I know I know there are two more months that we can all enjoy Amy but maybe it's best to start the goodbye's now.

Seriously?

What did I say about the premiere of GG? That I was so happy they brought the leads together and that we didn't have to go through them breaking up and getting back together again only to have them break up again. WTF? They broke up again last night. It's a drama about teenagers and since those bitches can never make up their minds they will get back together again sometime in the future. They may date a bunch of other people in the meantime but theirs is a love and bond that can be cut but never severed completely. Look at Derek and Meredith they should be well out of makeup/breakup moves by now but still they keep at it. I want the same kind of perseverance out of Serena and Dan.

Blair is going out with a Lord and Nate is going out with that Lord's stepmother Catherine...twisted, weird and convoluted but that's the GG way. Catherine is the Mrs. Robinson to Nate's Ben Braddock only with a twist. Nate's family funds are being frozen by the government and Catherine has stepped in to help out...as long as Nate gives up the goods. The goods being his booty. Vanessa still has a thing for Nate and he still likes her but Catherine stepped in and stopped that from going any further. She told Vanessa if she didn't step aside she would tell the feds where Nate's dad was hiding. Poor Nate, giving up his father's whereabouts in the midst of a passion fueled tryst with Catherine. Will that boy ever get anything right?

Chuck is still stuck on Blair and believe it or not so is Chuck's little man. It seems Chuck can't perform with the ladies because he's still hooked on B. A parade of women went through his suite but to no avail, he just could do it. Serena pointed out the problem and Chuck went out to try and solve it. He got very close, there was a blackout, he put on a fake brit accent and snogged B and she went along with it...but then the lights came back on and her Lord walked in. He was upset for a minute but then B begged him to show her how much he cared and then they made out and apparently all worked out. Just not for Chuckles.

Next week we'll see Serena's bitchy side when she and Dan square off to see who can date someone else the fastest. Good luck kids...wake me when the season finale comes on and they get back together. Kidding, I love this show too much to turn it off.

On a Completely Unrelated Note

I read something yesterday that completely made sense to me and felt I had to share it with the masses...It's from Savage Love written by Dan Savage in his weekly syndicated sex column.

The 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, the GOP's vice-presidential nominee, is pregnant. The news was released by the McCain camp during a busy week—a hurricane, the Republican National Convention, Dick Cheney getting us into a war with Russia—so it didn't receive the coverage it deserved. To recap:

Seventeen-year-old Bristol Palin got her ass knocked up five or so months ago by 18-year-old Levi Johnston. Among the hobbies listed on Levi's since-yanked MySpace page—"fishing, shoot some shit, and just fuckin' chillin'"—was this revealing tidbit: "I don't want kids." But Bristol, says her mom, "made the decision on her own to keep the baby," and is now engaged to Levi "Shootin' Shit" Johnston.

As the adoptive parent of a child born to a pair of unwed teenagers, I'm certainly not in favor of abortion in all circumstances. But I believe that it's a choice teenagers should be able to make for themselves—with input from their families whenever possible—and, so it seems, does the GOP's VP nominee. Sarah Palin is pleased that her daughter made the decision—on her own—to keep the baby.

But Sarah Palin doesn't believe that other girls should be able to make their own decisions. Sarah Palin believes abortion should be illegal in almost every instance—including rape and incest. So Bristol Palin is being celebrated for making a choice that Sarah Palin would like to take away from all other American women. Apparently, today's GOP believes that choice is a special right reserved for the wayward daughters of Republican elected officials.

Oh, and Sarah Palin also believes that birth control shouldn't be made available to teenagers, she opposes medically accurate sex education, and she backs abstinence-until- marriage sex "education."

Sigh.

The GOP has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into abstinence "education" programs during the Bush years. I believe this enormous investment of public funds begs the obvious question: Is our children abstaining? Sarah Palin's aren't. Despite this massive outlay on the part of the American taxpayer and the example set by her Christian parents, Bristol Palin became sexually active while still in high school. Excuse me, but if abstinence education can't keep the daughter of the evangelical governor of Alaska off the cock, what hope is there for the daughters—and some of the sons—of average Americans?

I'm a cad for writing this, of course, because shortly before Bristol and Levi were paraded before cheering throngs at the Republican National Convention, the Palins asked the media to respect their daughter's privacy.

Another special right: When it comes to respecting your family's privacy, Palin and the GOP see no need. They want to micromanage the most intimate aspects of your private life. And if their own kids fail to live up to the standards that Palin and the GOP seek to impose on your family, well, that's a private matter between the Palins, their daughter, their God, and the thousands of screaming imbeciles in elephant hats waving McCain/Palin signs on the floor of the Republican National Convention.

Spot On

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler did a great job last night during the season opener of SNL. I stayed up and watched the whole thing and unfortunately that was the only funny sketch. I get why they chose Michael Phelps to host I just wish he had been a better actor. Maybe you can only be crazy good at one thing? I just wanted him to be halfway decent but my wish wasn't granted. I'm going to let this one slide though because coming up next week is James Franco and let's be honest, that piece is funny.

Kudos to Amy Poehler for staying on the show regardless of how far along her pregnancy is. I want her on the show until she goes into labor. Seriously she's one of the funniest people and I can't imagine SNL right now without her. Well, Kristin Wiig is super funny too but Amy will always have my heart. I looked long and hard for one of my favorite sketches that aired back in 2002 but after 30 minutes I've given up. Instead I have another clip with the same characters. It's SNL's take on HBO's American Undercover docu series. Enjoy!

Gym Teacher: The Movie

It's on tonight and I have three names and you should be sold. Amy Sedaris, David Alan Grier and Christopher Meloni. We shouldn't even have to continue this post together, you should just turn Nickelodeon on right now and wait until 8pm to watch the magic. Chris Meloni plays a hard ass cop on SVU but if anyone has seen Harold and Kumar go to White Castle they'll know the man can be funny. David Alan Grier is truly hysterical and will always be remembered by me as one half of Men on Film from In Living Color. Antwon Merriweather, damn, saying that name still makes me crack a smile. Amy S on the other hand has it in her genes. Every time she's on Letterman I tune in and watch her. You too can see the funny tonight at 8. Tune in, laugh and move on...I'll do it too, hey, we can be twins! Check out a clip of Men on Film below...genius.

Completely Underrated

So on Tuesday night I was watching this movie Equilibrium because I am finally going to catch every random Christian Bale movie I haven't seen and watch them. Who shows up halfway through the movie? William Fichtner one of my favorite character actors. The man is truly in everything. He even had a small part in The Dark Knight. Love him. He's not a piece but damn do I love him. A few years ago he was one of the leads in this great show that no one watched called Invasion. I got completely sucked into that show and what did they do? They cancelled it. Typical. I wouldn't be surprised if you hadn't even heard of it. Matter of fact, that's a great way for me to determine if a show is going to last, find out if anyone else I know is watching. If no one is there's probably a good chance it's not going to make it.

Right now this dear man is playing an ex FBI agent on the not so hit show Prison Break. Like I mentioned before I caught up on the entire third season last week and it was a wonderful day. I thought I would watch the show every week instead of save a few episodes and watch them altogether sometime and I think that's a good idea. At least now that they're out of prison and roaming free (somewhat) the episodes don't seem to run together as much. Waiting for Michael to break out of prison each week kind of messed with your head. Now that they're running around Los Angeles the show has taken on a completely different tone and I have to say I like it. Having Mr. Fichtner on doesn't hurt either.

Rachel Zoe has a TV Show

I get it she's THE top stylist. It's Bravo THE gayest network on television. It was an hour of catty bitches and perhaps that's just the way it goes. Her style assistant Taylor can only be described by me as a total bitch. Her job seems like it's super stressful and crazy busy and it could just come with the territory. She seems totally threatened by Brad Rachel's newest assistant who's there completely to help her out and if I could reach inside of the TV and smack her I would. She doesn't seem to want to offer him any help. Plus her hair is a mess.

Difficult is what she calls herself but bitch is what everyone else in the real world would. I feel for you Brad and I hope it works out for you. Judging by the clips from the season he bursts into tears for some reason and I bet you it's because of Taylor. I didn't want to add anymore shows to my already full Fall TV schedule but I believe I will be adding another. Crazy I haven't even discussed Rachel and this is her show. She has a bunch of what I'll call catchphrases and everything is bananas or "killing it" or simply "shutting it down." Then she said something that reminded me of a recurring character on MADtv. Eugene Struthers whole character is built on things taken to a "ho nuva level". That my friends is what I say is Rachel's philosophy. Totally fine by me. I've just told myself I am now committed to finish watching the season. Damn, I can't give anything up so that's another hour of sleep I'll be missing a week. Let's hope Taylor is less of a bitch next week. Doubtful.

What Happened?

What a 25th anniversary it turned out to be. I am of course kidding because while it wasn't the worst VMA's I've ever seen it definitely could have been done better. Such a small venue...what ever happened to Radio City Music Hall? The huge event it used to be it's just not anymore. Maybe it's because the music industry has changed so much since I was a kid. I remember very clearly 9/9/99. It was a great show, it was in NY and had a ton of stars and I was entertained. That didn't happen this time.

Tim Cantiello the new MTV newsboy is a tool. Seriously, he's awful, I don't think he could have been more annoying and I want his job. Taylor Swift was doing interviews and spoke to Pink and said she was one of her favorite artists which just shows how young she is...Taylor was born in 1989 and Pink put out her first CD in 2000...so I suppose it makes sense. She was 11 and Pink was probably to her was Janet and Madonna were to me. Everyone was just so young there...maybe it's because I'm getting old. Besides LL I don't think anyone was over 40. Everyone was in their 20's and younger. I guess 10 years ago the Backstreet Boys were popular and the girls were screaming for them so I suppose that means I can't knock the Jonas Brothers or their rings of chastity. Russell Brand teased them about the rings but Jordin Sparks came onstage towards the end of the show and chastised him for making fun of them. Abstaining from sex is okay everybody!

I could just be completely out of the loop with all of this. The Jonas Brothers are the Backstreet Boys. Miley is Britney with a promise of virginity until marriage. Pink is Madonna the seasoned performer with a penchant for saying whatever the hell comes out of her mouth and the new MTV news reporter is Kurt Loder. He wishes. Does this also mean that the backlot of Paramount Studios is the new Radio City? I sure as shit hope not.

Have I missed speaking about Britney's return? Whatever...I used to love her and then she went and married K-Fed and the love affair ended. It's not her fault Kevin must have put some kind of hex on her and I absolve her of any wrongdoing. Shaved head and temper tantrums be damned. I hope MTV looks back at the old VMA's and studies what worked before and what didn't work last night. They'll see the wrong turn they took about 7 years ago after Britney stunned us all with I'm a slave 4 u. The kiss with Madonna was fine but that huge snake wrapped around her neck really did steal the show. A bid you adieu and here's the address to MTV in New York/Los Angeles so we can launch a campaign to get the show back to what it was...address your letters to:

MTV Networks
1515 Broadway Fl 31L
New York, NY 10036

MTV Networks
2600 Colorado Ave.
Santa Monica CA, 90404

Have a good day.

Casting Genius

The powers that be have done me a solid. They've cast Shirley Manson on the Terminator show. I was already going to tune in to the new season but they've outdone themselves this time. I've been a fan of hers since high school and am so thrilled I get to watch her on TV. There's really nothing else to say until I see her on the show but I'm sure it will blow my mind...and I'm out.

9021 oh no

So two/three days after it aired I finally watch the new 90210. It's not great but it's not horrible. It's unfortunate that I associate half the cast with other roles that are still ingrained in my head. I mean Jessica Walter is on TV again! Playing another drink swilling mother/grandmother. She does it so well, in fact I will only refer to her as Lucille from here on out. Lucille was definitely a highlight for me, too bad she's not a lead.

I was sitting there watching the plot unfold and the show started to remind me of the movie Mean Girls. Annie is talking to Erin about how the queen bee of the school told everyone about her dad's affair and it was so familiar. It was just like when Janice told Cady that Regina told everyone she was a lesbian. Both stories happened to the girls in eighth grade and I'm going to tell you Mean Girls was 1000% better. I always seem to complain about shows and then continue to watch them. It won't be any different this time but I hope one day I bitch about a show and actually decide not to watch. Doubt that's going to happen anytime soon.

There was a lot of talk about the return of Kelly and Brenda and I can tell you it was totally anticlimactic. Seriously folks, why all the fuss? The two of them even ended up on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. They met up for the first time onscreen at the Peach Pit with Nat and it didn't blow my mind. A little history of my original BH90210 watching. I watched it for the first few years, gave it up in the middle, came back for a few years and by the last year gave it up again. Totally a fair-weather fan and here I am back for the revamp.

I could go into how the boys aren't nearly hot enough for me and none of them have even come close to piece territory but I won't. Anyone who's watched will know this. Lori Laughlin is ageless and still looks just like she did on Full House. Aunt Becky has found the fountain of youth and this is what we should all be talking about not the crazy goings on of West Beverly High. Did I mention that Kelly has a son? She does and I don't care. Maybe after a few week of watching I'll get into it and come back and rave and rave and rave about it. We'll see, maybe next week will knock my socks off cause Gossip Girl this ain't.

Prison Break Marathon

I have a confession to make. I did not watch 90210 last night. Instead I watched 9 episodes of Prison Break and it was the best decision I could have made. What a wonderful way to spend a Tuesday, watching Wentworth Miller in a sweaty shirt for hours. What a piece! Oh, and Dominic Purcell isn't such a bad piece either, he's just not as hot as Wentworth. Enough about the pieces on to the show. The real reason I watched season 3 all day yesterday is because I was emptying out the DVR. I never got around to watching the whole season and finally finished around 1:30 am this morning.

Watching Prison Break is like watching The Wire for me. It's best watched a couple episodes at a time. Sitting down for 9 is even better. I wanted to watch season 4's premiere as well but only got about halfway through when I decided it was time to sleep, it was 2am after all. I finished the rest of the premiere tonight and it did not disappoint. I've been watching since the beginning and always seem to fall behind during the seasons. I'll not watch for a few weeks and then all of a sudden watch half an episode and then watch all the saved eps at once. Crazy. I don't think that's going to happen this season. They don't have to break out of anywhere and this may make for a very dynamic season.

All of the main characters are still around and now they're fighting together to take down The Company. One person who isn't helping them out is one of my favorites...T-Bag. Seriously, he's fantastic. Robert Knepper is a great actor and alternately has me loving and hating T-Bag. Shame on you. T-Bag has escaped from Sona and has made his way to California to confront Michael. T's got Whistler's bird book and of course T and Michael will cross paths and shit will go down. So much happened in the premiere that I could go on forever. Sarah came back to life...she wasn't actually beheaded, she escaped from Gretchen and also made her way back into the states. Reunion time! Sarah and Michael finally come face to face and make out...great, where were the sexy times? I suppose I will just have to wait. It was kind of implied but not really. Oh wait, Michael got rid of his tats in a painful sequence but we never really got to see anything and to be honest the man shouldn't be moving nearly as much as he is if he had them lasered off. What am I talking about, Michael is invincible. No he's not, I think I saw a mini brain hemorrhage towards the end when he was in the bathroom. No biggie, he'll get through it. He has to.

Gossip Girl Season Premiere

It's only been a week but I think I'm a little rusty at posting. I'd even say I find it kind of odd. I'm sitting here in front of my computer wondering what to say. I'll try my best and suppose I'll just fawn over the premiere of Gossip Girl.

YAY! I had so much fun watching GG last night. Matty came over and we watched the last three episodes from last season and drank champagne. Then we watched the premiere and giggled our heads off. We waited all summer for this and we were rewarded handsomely. One of the things that definitely caught my eye with this episode was the brand new all over tan they gave Dan. Seriously, he was either pushed into a tanning bed or someone strapped him down and gave him a spray tan. Perhaps it was just so he wasn't washed out in his Hamptons whites. Dan and Serena realized by the end of the episode that they were made for each other and thus ended my own personal speculation they would be apart for the entire season only to get back together by the end of it. Thank goodness we don't have to go through a Grey's where their leads bounce back and forth with one another. These kids and their commitment to one another.

Blair on the other hand found a man to bring back to the US to trot in front of Chuck B to prove she wasn't hurt by his dismissal of her on the way to Milan. Chuck wasn't buying it and tried to get under her skin but couldn't say the three little words she just wanted to hear. Turns out Blair found British royalty in her brought from euro man and while he's cute and whatnot he looks like he's 30 to her 16/17. But that's nothing compared to the baby cougar that Nate's hooking up with. He apparently spent the entire summer fooling around with her and pretending it's Serena. Nate, didn't you watch Dawson's Creek? This isn't going to end well young man. It's best to cut it out now before someone gets hurt, or put in jail.

Grandma Van der Woodsen showed up and surprisingly turned in a positive appearance. She's the one who brought Serena and Dan back together which turned my greying into black heart red. I suppose Serena reconciled with her gdma to keep the keys to the Hamptons house. Perhaps she didn't want to be at home with her mom who was going through the withdrawal of not being able to be with Rufus. Well, I don't know about that, Lilly wasn't even in this episode. I love the subplot of the parents but wasn't given much info about them. All I know is that Rufus is still on his tour bus soon to be back in BK with his kids. Next episode material I guess. There's so much to look forward to and this is only the beginning of the season. GG I'm so happy you're back on and ready to turn my Monday nights cool again. The Closer has been fine for the past weeks but I'm ready to jump back in to fall. Let the premieres keep coming.
