I Spy Season Finales… May 21, 2008

Let’s play a little game called “I speculate”, and then let’s apply it to all the season finales of the past two weeks. Ready? Go.

First off, I speculate…there will be *SPOILERS* in all these postings.

ONE TREE HILL

I speculate…that One Tree Hill will climb its last hill in 2008-2009 season. First off, this finale was nothing like the crashed limo of two seasons past…but of course, something has to happen to Dan, because something always does.  Ah, my guilty set-in-North-Carolina pleasure. I hope nothing in the fall comes out set in North Carolina or I’m in trouble…

I speculate…Lucas called Lindsay. Because Brooke was waiting for Angie’s call (she may need a new heart, but I am sure she already has a cell!), and Peyton had the odd Mia has a friend who knew Ellie storyline, so she was waiting for a call. So Lindsay was perhaps the only one waiting for a call. But come on folks, in this day in age? It’s called caller ID. So maybe Lucas didn’t call any of them. Maybe he called his mom….or perhaps they are bringing back yet another character so they can exploit that storyline even more…Season 6=last season, can’t you see?

I speculate….that I will rent or buy all the prior seasons and fast forward through season 3 to get to the juicy season 4 (was that the one with Haley on tour?), and I will still watch season 6 like the loyal CW chick that I am.

I speculate….that Gavin DeGraw is either A) dating Peyton in real life…B) Hurtin’ for some publicity for his new album…or C) is the father of that cute-he’s-almost-annoying kid…what was with the pre-credits cameo?

SAMANTHA WHO?

I speculate…Christina Applegate’s hair will be the new Rachel haircut.

I speculate…that this show won’t see beyond season 2 (come on, Todd already kissed her! No drama there!)

I speculate…that a storyline of amnesia only has the shelf-life of marshmallows…fluffy for a while until some air gets into the bag (hello, writer’s strike) and then they are all icky and stale. Then you throw them out and get another bag. See my point, ABC?

WOMEN’S MURDER CLUB

I speculate…that my hair will never look as good as that blonde’s.

I speculate…that Lindsay’s dad will not die (cause I think he’s signed up for another season), but will be paralyzed and she will have to perform her daughterly duties.

I speculate…that the long-distance relationship will not last. (spoken like the queen of it that I am…)

I speculate…that this show will join the ranks of Law and Order, CSI, and just keep going and going…hoping for a new time slot, and it should be fine. These shows are just machines. There is enough crazy-ass stuff in the news that this show has material for a millennia…

AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL

I speculate…that I wasn’t the only one surprised by the outcome that was Whitney. Me likey the Whitney.

I speculate…that she is not a size 10, rather, she is a size 6, which looks like a 10 on camera.

I speculate…she will not be walking in a Versace runway ever again, but that she will have modeling contracts for years to come.

I speculate…that if Anya would take vocal lessons (I could not STAND when she talked), she could’ve beaten Whitney to a pulp.

I speculate…that I will either see Katarshinyna (or whatever her name is) in either a Times Square Gucci ad or a Las Vegas club flyer.

I speculate…that I will never tire of these shows until they run out of material.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS

I speculate…that even though its weird that they kissed, I still want to see that Rebecca/Justin storyline evolve.

I speculate…Kitty will “suddenly” become pregnant by no fault of her own.

I speculate…that the “mystery kid” will be Latino…I can just feel it…

I speculate…that Saul needs to get a life or be written out of the show.

I speculate…that this show makes me want to have fifteen kids so they can all take care of me when I am old and useless.

I speculate…I will retract the above sentence when I have my first child.

I still have a bunch more shows to watch that do NOT include Dancing With The Stars (entirely overrated) or American Idol (yawn). But I am excited for summer replacements like SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!!! Oh, baby. Love that show. Watch replays of it on MTV this last weekend. I know, I’m a dork, but I love love love it! Have been watching Step It Up and Dance, but yawn, I’m bored.

Once I see Grey’s, Betty, and Lost, I think I am officially done with this crazy season of TV! Onto the re-runs and DVDs…it’s not like I am going to go outside and enjoy the summertime air….

TV Watchers Unite! May 5, 2008

Ugh. It is freezing where I am right now, and its not because of the weather outside…why is it that when it is warm outside, it is a popsicle inside, and when it is freezing outside, it’s a sauna?! Ah, But I digress…

I haven’t been around lately, and just (kinda) caught up with my TV viewing of post-writer’s strike episodes. So far, not impressed. If I have survived this far with not caring about characters, does that mean the networks are going to lose me as a viewer? I can say that Thursday night’s ABC line-up is pretty much the only thing I look forward to nowadays, but whatever, I’m going to tell you what I watch and why in 30 seconds or less…why 30 seconds? Because if you are like me, I have a short-attention span (which is why I love TV!) J

Mondays:

BONES: Great chemistry still exists between Brennan and Booth, but what ever happened to Angela and Hodgin’s impending nuptials?

GOSSIP GIRL: Sad to say that I think this is losing its “cool” factor…although I hear they are intro-ing a new character who is going to out Serena’s brother…like we didn’t see that one coming…(only on episode 1 of 4)

ONE TREE HILL: Ah, my guilty if-it-is-set-in-North-Carolina-does-that-make-it-

Dawson’s-Creek weekly pleasure. Yes this show needs to end, but I love Peyton….my child’s name (or my next dog, whichever comes first) is going to be named Peyton…

SAMANTHA WHO: Just became a fan during the strike (it was practically the only show in its entirety online). Christina Applegate is hilarious, but really, ABC, how long can a show about an amnesiac last?

Tuesday:

NCIS: Last week’s episode was kinda lame…like I care about the germ-o-phobs life outside of NCIS….like I care about her at all. Sure, it looked like Iraq, but I had no sympathy for the girl…please bring back Agent Wong or whatever her name is and the autopsy gremlin…I miss those two..and can we NOT have Ziva fall in love with Tony? Please?!

DWTS: Yeah, I’ve tuned out. It’s not fun anymore.

WOMEN’S MURDER CLUB: Yay! Women with great haircuts and kick ass attitudes doing Law and Order type thingys….Finally! How did Angie Harmon not have a boy toy already!?!? (The Kiss-Me-Not killer does NOT count!)

REAPER: I have yet to catch up on this one…Yes, I do miss it. But I was getting sick of the Andi will-they-wont-they storyline. At least they introduced some new characters…even if they are demons.

Wednesday:

CSI: NY: With my Tivo going skizo on my CSI: NY scheduling, it becomes confusing when Spike is running season two episodes, and I am watching new episodes…but at least it is better than CSI: Las Vegas (or the original CSI, if you will). Grissom is boring without Sarah. And now Warrick is in rehab (in real life). Time to end the original series, folks.

ANTM: Yeah, fine. They are in Italy. I hate them. I totally thought the Russian girl was going to win. But now she’s not even on anymore…although Whitney is…and when did being a size 10 make you a plus-size model!? Ugh…but you can’t beat the photo shoots. I’m thinking the blond that talks weird is gonna take it all. Too bad, cause me likey the Whitney.

TOP CHEF: My new favorite enjoyment. I love it. I think Dale and Richard should open up a restaurant named “Pretentious”. But one of them will probably walk away with it. I’m sick of the judges being overdramatic though. Oh well. Quickfire’s ROCK!

Thursday:

Please, like you watch anything besides UGLY BETTY, GRAY’S ANATOMY and LOST…ok, fine THE OFFICE and 30 ROCK too..

UGLY BETTY: Ok, Henry, realize that Charlie is a whore and just let her go!

GRAY’S: Oh, Meredith. Thank god Addison came back and talked some sense into you…oh wait…and Rose, please, get a life, and not Derek’s…could a surgeon be gay!? No way! Alex, oh, Alex….Jane Doe’s a whore. But we love that she comes back anyway, cause she’s the only girl that can make you weep.

LOST: Oh, how I love thee. Flash forwards, stolen babies, secret missions for Sawyer…The best thing they ever did was to say they were going to sum it all up by 20010…just in time for 24 to come back. J

So, as you can see, I watch a lot of TV. But I love it.

BTW, I finally finished all of PBS’ Carrier…fantastic series. It was intriguing, if not gut-wrenching…some episodes were monotonous, but wasn’t that the point? I liked how they questioned why they hadn’t dropped any bombs, but then the tour after them did. Great aerials, great stories, all in all, PBS did a phenomenal job.
