Touching Base

I've entered into the season second on episodes for The OC. I had a lot of concerns after watching the original pilot, but all of those problems have gone away. They only really partied in one episode, which is kinda strange, but I'm not complaining.

Supernatural! Ah! I'm still behind, and I CANNOT wait for Thanksgiving break so I can finally have the time to catch up! Same goes for Pushing Daisies, which is going down in the ratings?!

Meanwhile, I can't seem to stop watching "Ebony and Ivory" on youtube from the Psych commercial. Yet it still makes me laugh everytime. I really hope it will be on the DVD, it never gets old.

Invasion. Man, I wished I had watched it when it was originally on. That is/was a good show...

And last non-tv related update. So I have a black kitten, and I figured Halloween would be her time to shine, but she got scared by the doorbell ringing so many times and decided to hide somewhere upstairs. So she spent her first Halloween not shining, so I guess I'll just wait for her to climb her first Christmas tree!

Walking in a TV Wonderland

To start off:

Invasion!!!! Wow!!! After watching the pilot I just thought: "The Invasion Fan Club told me it starts off slow and then excels. The ending is going to be beyond amazing, because the beginning was some of the best sci-fi television I have ever watched!!!

Chuck! Ah. Chuck and Sarah have had the same "we can't be together" speech like ten times! Enough already, we get that it is complicated and it can't happen! Arg. The episode had some cute parts, and Casey was a solid grounding character who really brought it back to watch the show is about. Hopefully Bryce will be gone for a while now though, because he comes at the worst of times!

Heroes! Whoa!!! I love Zachary Quinto! And the space-warp guy was pretty cool too, I'm sad that he's 'gone.' Note to Peter: stop going crazy! I hope that Mohinder got rid of Spanish twin for good. She is so annoying, and that would be the first good thing Mohinder ever did! HRG should be aware that Sylar has super hearing from the lady at the repair shop, so what was he doing, other than making it very obvious to Sylar that HRG wants him dead? It's tense, but I love having two of my favorite characters together as partners! Speaking of partners: ANDO?!?!?!

I haven't watched Scrubs in a while since I got Chuck season one and Invasion. But I really miss it, even though I am still trying to grasp the fact that this is REALLY the last season. [Exhale] Maybe Neil Flynn can just work as a janitor in an office. You know, the office.

Ratings vs. Stock Market: Are they connected?

I know, I know, insane idea. But the world seems like be falling apart! In Gov, all we talk about for the first ten minutes of each session is the stock market and DOW. "It keeps going down." Then I get online to check on my favorite fall shows right now- Chuck, Heroes, The Office. The new articles on Chuck and Heroes say that NBC Monday night is failing and a lot of viewers are switching to "Two and a Half Men" of all things! My grandmother watches that show, and I do not think it is as funny as people give it credit for. How can you choose that over lovable Zachary Levi??? I LOVE NBC Monday nights, especially since Scrubs has left the Thursday night line-up, and I am always excited to watch two forty-minute episodes with twenty minutes of commercials each. I am patient enough to sit through them, that is how much I love these shows! Yet the ratings are dropping? If either of them are canceled while Terminator hangs on by the fingertips, I will be furious.

In other news, I bought a stress ball in the shape of Dwight's head this weekend. But I just can't wait to get to NYC to buy a pineapple Psych stress ball. Boy do I have a lot of stress!!!!

My new non-tv-related discover: Diet Dr. Pepper is pretty amazing. For some reason I never tried it before, but now I'm kicking myself for that dumb mistake!

Thoughts, Feelings, and Other Revealings

First of all, I am officially a proud member of the Psych Fan Club, code name Pineappella. It wouldn't let me add it to my signature yet, so I'll just post it on my blog while waiting for the kinks to be fixed up. I finished the thirteen episodes of The OC on Hulu :[ but it's okay because I have Chuck on DVD to occupy me until more episodes are added :]. I love the first season of Chuck, but I hate the display screen that comes up when I press stop. The disc continues to spin when I want to take it out, and I don't like that. It's the same way for all of the Friends DVDs, so that also means it will probably be the same of all seasons of Chuck. Ugh.

The new layout. Ah! I'm still trying to figure things out, and I won't submit for a while since I know the editors are overloaded. I love having the list of my top ten shows, but I don't like being unable to rate things between .0s and .5s. It makes it hard to make the actual top ten list when things have to be rounded to zeros and fives. Par example, I don't really think that The Dick Van Dyke Show is a 10.0, but it is one of my top ten favorites, so in order for it to be on the list on my profile, I have to put it as 9.6 or higher, but that has to be rounded to 10.0 for some reason. Hopefully that will eventually get fixed too, not that it is a top priority for the editors right now. I guess I'll have to try and get used to it. Somehow. Slowly. Eventually.

Heroes premieres tomorrow! I have read some really good reviews and some really mediocre ones, but I'm hoping for the best. Plus Chuck premiere tomorrow on Hulu! I'm even more excited for that!

Are UFO Aliens Also Considered Illegal Aliens?

Happy Chuck Season One Release Day! I saw the Amazon package on the front step and could barely wait for the car to stop before jumping out of it. Yay!

Cheers to the writers of the OC. I'm hooked, it is officially my guilty pleasure. This could have been a really bad show, with unlikeable characters and slow plot lines. But things have been moving along at a rapid pace, and Summer is actually growing on me. At first I had no idea why a sweet guy like Seth would like an unpleasant girl like Summer, but now I get it. They have nice chemistry, and Rachel Bilson does a great job of playing jealous. Of course I feel bad for Anna, but I think she'll get her turn before the four seasons are over. Thankfully, almost all of the drinking as gone away. Like magic! But the bad thing is the fan forums seem to all tell me that the quality of the seaons goes downhill from the super season one. I think I'll ignore that though, considering I usually like seasons in the opposite order of everyone else. For example, I cannot live without my Angel season five, yet some of the forums say that some fans wished it never happened. How? What? How? (mes trois questions excellent)

It's the most wonderful time, of the year.

That's right, it's fall premiere season, DVD release season, and Christmas shopping season! I admit the last point is a bit of a stretch considering Halloween hasn't spooked any kids yet, but I'm taking the positive outlook and gazing towards the present filled future. AH HA. That was a joke. A bad joke, but a joke none-the-less.

I just read a boat load (more like yacht load) of spoilers for Heroes season 3. Boy, am I excited! I love Sylar! Don't read the end of this paragraph if you don't want a potential spoiler. Look away. Okay. I read that Ando is going to try and kill Hiro! I don't know if we're talking future Ando vs. present Hiro or what, but I'm raedy to find out!

Oh, Scrubs, where art thou? Has anyone heard a solid return date yet? Psych is back in January, maybe Scrubs will occur at about the same time.

Knife Wrench. For Kids.
