Scrubs
Scrubs is my new addiction. I'd never watched the show before this season (it always aired opposite already established faves), but I love it. Donald Faison is giving the male comedic performance of the year, just barely edging out John Krasinki of "The Office" and John C. McGinley. That Kung-Fu Fighting sequence from early this season sealed the deal: I'll be watching until the finale. (On a personal note, is it bad that I have the same inner world experiences as J.D.?)
The Office
Jim and Pam have some of the best chemistry on television. Seriously, I only discovered this show three weeks ago, and I'm already addicted. Steve Carrell plays the oblivious manager so well, and I must admit: Stanley is hilarious. He's no Jim, but he's pretty damn funny. I just hope that Pam eventually ditches boring old Roy and adds some "Office" romance to the mix.
I Heart Veronica Mars
Wow. One Angry Veronica certainly disappoint. Wallace is back!! Yeah!! I'm so happy! Meg's the goner....that wasn't much of a surprise, given last week's alternate ending. This certainly complicates matters for Veronica and Duncan though, especially sinc he withheld that valuable piece of info from his girlfriend. I really hope that this isn't the end for Deputy Leo, because his "give my best to your daughter" request was so sweet. And Logan, finally showing that sensitive side that had been dormant for a few weeks. What an episode. So sweet, and that last shot of a reunited Veronica and Wallace was perfect. You know what they say, "Veronica Mars, she's a marshmallow."
The thing about sweeps...
The thing about sweeps that annoys me is how jam packed they are. I don't mind that every episode of every show is new, but I feel like the pivotal moments of a series can be spotted from a mile away because they are bound to air in November, February, or May. Advertisers should really catch on and examine year-round ratings in order to get a sense of how the show is actully performing. Then, things would be less predictable, and the great events could occur all year round. I can't think of a single show that wouldn't benefit from this.
The Prodigal Daughter Returns (and not a moment too soon)
All is right with the world. Well, almost. Arrested Development is still effectively canceled (much to my dismay), but Rory Gilmore has finally gotten her life back together. She finally realized that she was acting immaturely and got herself a good (non-DAR) job, moved back in with Lorelai, and re-enrolled at Yale. Yeah!! I've been waiting for this for months. And the girls' reunion was so well-written. Gotta love Amy Sherman-Palladino. We didn't see the whole thing, and we didn't need to. We just needed to know that everything was fixed. Well, with the exception of a certain 12-year-old long-lost daughter..... Can't wait to see how that plays out.
