TV Talk

Wow, summer is upon us.  That means time to catch up on stuff I DVR'd like House, Painkiller Jane,  Smallville, and the Tudors. 

To wrap up the tv season: Lost rocked, Heroes did too.  Supernatural started slow but knocked it out of the park.  Prison Break (huge in Korea now for some reason) was circling the shark tank on the motorcycle, but they have been doing that from the beginning.  Everything else that was good got cancelled.  Jericho was brought back thanks to some fan sending the studio nuts.  I hear they are trying this trick with Veronica Mars using Mars bars.

Summer seasons are now showing new programming. 

Here is what I will likely watch:

Last Comic Standing

Hell's Kitchen

Who Wants to Be a Superhero

Dr. Who

Drive (final two episodes)

I would watch 4400 but they need to have a marathon that I could see the entire 2nd and 3rd seasons in order to catch up.

I will also probably finish up The Prisoner Series that I have borrowed for quite too long.

Fox has yet to announce

I hate network execs, and I hate dumb Americans that watch the dumb shows and get the good ones cancelled.  "wah, I have to think about this show but I don't know how to think,  what channel is American Idol on."

Drive- *CANCELED*  That is right, the show was canceled by Fox.  This show has been shown exactly two times at its time slot.  The show isn't bad.  It isn't ground breaking TV but it was entertaining.  Regardless of how good House is, new episodes of Drive are way better than reruns of House.  I don't think Fox was ever behind the show in the first place.  They only have two episodes to show that are un-aired.  What kind of commitment is 6 episodes.  Instead of showing the final two episodes on TV you will have to watch them through the Drive myspace page this summer.  Let me tell you, someone will rip them and I will DL them because the Fox page sucks.  The previews for this show were less than inspiring.  I saw them and thought that the show would be ridiculous, but I by chance caught part of the two hour premiere and the third episode.  I liked it.  DID YOU HERE ME FOX, YOUR PREVIEWS MADE ME NOT WANT TO WATCH A SHOW THAT I ENDED UP LIKING.

Lost-Back to old form.  I now remember why I liked it in the first place.

The Ultimate Fighter-  A team rallies around in support as another fighter cries.  This guy was blubbering.  Sure he lost, but no need to cry because he was a dummy.

The Office-Creed is hilarious.  Michael is an idiot.  Kelly stole the show.

Scrubs-  Hilarious as ever.  They moved it so I have to watch 30 rock.  That show grows on you.  now they just need to cancel ER.

Smallville- I have kind of given up on this show.

Supernatural-I haven't watched this weeks episode yet, but last weeks was really good and scary enough that my wife left the room.

Veronica Mars- Where are you?!?

Heroes- I am actually looking forward to the future episode.  This show continues to get better and better.

Tuesday TV Talk

Heroes - Heroes so rocked last night.  The writers stepped up big time and answered the question about Mr Bennett's alliances and who the Hatian is.  I was very satisfied with the episode and look forward to seeing what happens to Claire and Matt.  In the previews it showed simmone as alive.  What the heck is that about?

BSG - Another filler episode.  It is kind of hard to make a fuel shortage due to a strike seem urgent because of the cylons when it seems that all cylons have been written off the show.  Now it is lost in space with a fleet.  I will be suprised if they tie any part of this episode into any other episode; which is a shame.  With some forethought they could have been foreshadowing it in earlier episodes and could continue it on, but they didn't and they won't.  Look at the refugee storyline, gone.  I was thinking they should send them to work the mining ship.  Two stones, one bird.

Amazing Race -  All Stars?  are you kidding me?

Veronica Mars -  Didn't see that one coming.  Keith being sheriff again could become a little too deus ex machina.
