Thoughts and stuff.
Desperate Housewives - not too exciting, liked how the bad guy got what was coming to him - will check out next season to see why old bad guy is back
Heroes - pretty bland ending, the best part was Ando 'supercharging' Hiro, enabling him to mass teleport everyone to safety - all Samuel would have needed was Ando to supercharge him instead of all the gathering of the heroes stretching out the season - this has already been canceled :(
Castle - great stuff as usual, still so frustrating that nothing further happens between him and Kate - can't wait for next season
Melrose Place - didn't watch this for the plots so whatever - pretty sure this was canceled
Lost - well, I fully expected to be disappointed by the finale and yep it was very disappointing, it's like the old "If you try to fail and succeed in doing so, have you failed or succeeded?"
Mercy - I tend to like shows with strong female characters so I liked this one. I think it was canceled already.
Modern Family - LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Already renewed.
Cougar Town - see Modern Family ^
Bones - ahh, the hoping for the main male and female to get together and the annoying things that keep them apart, see Castle, The X-Files, etc. Already renewed for at least 2 more seasons.
Fringe - the 'Walternate' was so chilling and redhead Dunham so hot - renewed
Vampire Diaries - Anna should not have died!!! - renewed
Grey's Anatomy - shocking, even after I figured out who the shooter was before he appeared, loved the part where Derek has just been shot and Meredith is screaming while Christina is pulling her away - renewed
Private Practice - sorry to see Dell go, I like the spunk Derek's younger sister brings to the show - I think this was renewed
V - great moment when Joshua called Lisa his queen - not sure the status of this show
Chuck - awesome fun - status unknown, but I hope it will be renewed
Smallville - one of the better seasons - renewed, but Season 10 will be the last :( If S10 has similar or higher ratings and viewers than S9, which had much improved ratings and viewers over the past few seasons, then they should really consider adding more seasons or do some spinoffs.
new stuff
Flashpoint - new eps started recently, not sure if this was already canned and they're just burning off remaining eps, or maybe this was always to be a midseason summer show - whatever the case, it's the only CBS show I watch, though I do want to check out Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother at some point
A few new summer shows are just starting up, watched two premieres a few hours ago:
Scoundrels - not bad, but way too early to make a determination just yet - will check out a few more eps
The Gates - Everyone is jumping on the vampires and werewolves bandwagon and here's another one. What's up with all of that lately? Twilight/True Blood mania running rampant with no end in sight. It's like if the shows has vampires, then it must also have werewolves, and even throw some witches into the mix. Vampire Diaries has all three and does it well. The Gates throws all three at you right off the bat and though it's too early to tell yet, enough with the "vampires, werewolves, and witches, oh my!" already. Will check it out further, and if the story sucks, probably stick around just for the ladies.
Rookie Blue - this doesn't start until next week, but I'll check it out because of Missy Peregrym, who was Candace on Heroes, the chick who could make you see what the Company(Primatech) wanted you to see.
No Ordinary Family - A new show that will premiere in the fall, but I wish it would air sooner. There's a void of superheroes, what with Heroes being canned and Smallville going into it's final season, that this show will hopefully fill. I liked the preview, which is available at abc.com
Don't know much about other shows yet.
DVDs - Thank god for DVDs, or I'd never get to see cable shows.
Weeds - watched all currently available seasons on DVD - Love it!! So damn funny. Can't wait for new season to air and DVD to come out for it.
Star Trek: The Next Generation - currently working my way through Season 4 - Data strives to be human - Sometimes, I think it'd be better to be an android.
La Femme Nikita - just started Season 1, like it so far
Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum - finally got these dvd movies and loved both - I hear there's going to be another Stargate DVD movie coming and one for Stargate Atlantis. Speaking of which, finally got SGA S5 on DVD so was able to see how it ended.
Also, the two MacGyver TV movies, Lost Treasure of Atlantis and Trail to Doomsday was finally released on a separate DVD. It was previously only available in later versions of the complete MacGyver DVD set. I got the seasons individually so I've been waiting for this to come out for a while. Haven't watched the DVD yet, but I did see the movies when they originally aired.
I think that's it for now. |
