Where Have All the Great New Shows Gone?

Hmm Okay Out of the new Shows none have caught my atention other then "Gossip Girl" I know I mentioned a few weeks back of some of my difficulties with The old new shows returning and Im glad to say Im back and good with shows LIke Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, The Office, Greys Anatomy, Smallville (Kind of) How I met your mother so on and Heroes. Speaking of Heroes Who else is estatic Kristian Bell has returned I mean I watched her on Monday and It was like Veronica Mars came back to me I have Veronica Season 3 Dvds to tie me over Gossip Girl and Heroes Before Elle (Kbells Character on Heroes) Was about to kill that guy I was thinking of Narration. Anywho back The New Shows.

Pushing Daises I watched the latest episode its a good show but its not as good as people are led to believe I mean its fast paced but its the same people you see over again I dont know the narration is key to the show but I can barley understand what the guys saying and Chuck and Ned first of the Chuck is the girl and thier relatioship is way too fast I mean this show is way to nice for me actually all the New shows are much to fun, upbeat quirky shows that think they have Drama but dont. For Example Chuck, Bionic Woman, Reaper...

Chuck Another show thats good but just not enough for me theres not enough going on same with Reaper it has like two storylines an episode though I must Say Reaper the slime episode had alot going on. Its just much to fun and needs more Drama. Plus all the Charactrers are real but you cant root for them or feel for them because they have yet to feel any emotion.. I mean seriously When i watched Lost when the Characters Hurt I hurt and I have yet to find that with any new show.

Speaking of Shows that have Characters you dont care about is Bionic Woman I though it would be more dark, dramatic buts it more Smallville esk and Isaiah Washington does not add anything to that show just like he doesnt take anything away from Greys Anatomy. Okay the Izzie, George, Callie stuff great but like 2woman are really going to fight but atleast Izzie has a hospital to go too another thingafter 4 years of Greys you would think by now that the audience would understand theparrels between the hospital and thier personal lives I mean everytime Meredithin her unnessicary narration says just like the hospial and.. whatever the theme,we get it! I also have to pick a Sunday Show and Life Is Wild Yeah Im sure your asking what is it? but its really decent and it has alot pf potential It seems to me each episode has a certain guest staying in there eco b&B house also the Vet figures out a new case each week Now I know its no Everwood but someday it could be.

Oh and Amazing Race returns November 4th! and Seriously I still cant advertise enough Aliens in America is so Funny! Its hilarious and has moments of LoL but it has moments that make you smile. Its seriously this Years Friday Night Lights the best new show your not watching. FNL flawless love it! OkayIm done with my rant Shows that wont make it untill next Season- Journeyman,Big Shots, and possiobly all the new ABC Comedies except for Samatha Who which is not horrid but its not as good as AbC wants you to think.. Im DOne.

I am Going to make an effort. (Need advice)

I am Going to try and watch Journeyman After Heroes I will watch Journeyman everyone is saying its good yet I have yet to take a look and I will defently be keeping an open mind.

Also I would like to comment on the CW show Life is Wild I watched it last night it reminds me of "Everwood" but its god awful (mind you I said that with an south african accent) The acting is sloppy and the Characters are barley 2 dimensional, One thing they do have the family Dinners down but Out of all the new Family Drama's I must say this one is the worst. I also was tempted to buy "Friday day night lights first season please tell me is the show worth getting into or not?? I need your help is it really the best show Im not watching? Also the best comedy besides Aliens in America premires its Samatha Who supposley its okay I might watch?? Hmm alsoThe Everybody hates Chris episode is on omg its hilarious tonights episode.

Allow Me to Discuss The New Shows!

Okay Lets first of all say There is not one new show That I hav not completley been Obbsessed with since Lost premired in 2004 and this year dissapointed me but there are a few highlights now my thoughts on these shows might change as the season goes along but Ive seen at least all there pilots and a few other episodes For example last seasons Brothers and Sisters I didint completley love untill March same with 30 Rock so its safe to say I dont get into shows right away give me time to grow with them.

Monday- Shows that Im Sqeduled to watch Heroes

Heroes this season hasn't completley drawn me in yet I think I just need to readjust back into it plus theres some storylines I really like others not so much. I checked out Chuck I liked it but its too fun for me plus Im way to busy on Monday nights to actually watch same with CBS Comedies and the new Show The Big Bang It has its moments of Hilarity but thats about it. Journeyman I tried watching havnt given it my full potential next week for sure.

Tuesday Thanks to CTV I get to watch Gossip Girl and Pushing Daisies a day earlier and I also Watch Reaper and House and Cane all in one Night.

Tuesday's never use to be a big night for me I mean sure 1 hour of Veroncia Mars kept me though it but still. Now as For Reaper and Cane, Reaper is a show I still havnt really watched yet nor Cane Seen the pilots good but like I said give it some time for it to grow and Cane is one hot show. Pushing Daisies is okay but the narrating though creates humor its too much. This may come as a surprise but I have never seen and episode of House untill this Season with the new interns since its a fresh start I thought I should try it out.

ABC Comedies need to die.

Wednesday- ??? Im Lost with out "LOST"

I really dont know what too do with My Wednesdays I mean sure Kid nation is a riot and its ridiculous but its on Encores though out the week on other channels. Private Practice all though good Its still up in the air. Bionic Woman Im just mad at the 2nd episode was horrid and thier trying to make it more of a fun show then a dramatic serious show which is disapointing to me. Life have yet too watch yet but Ill get to it tonight. The Best show thats really caught my atention is Gossip Girl its good.

Thursday- Grey's Anatomy Smallville

Im sick of Smallville this season but once a fan always. Greys Anatomy the only reason why I watch is so I can point out the flaws in the show I swear I just feel like going in there and Strangle Meredith and Everybody else Seriously Everybody Izzie Gerge dont get me started, Christina is a lost soul Lexie I thought would redeem the shows stroylines but made it worse I enjoy watching the show for the hour but the whole week all I have is negative things to say about it... is it a crime for me to not be watching Ugly Bettey Ive tried watching it but just cant get into it.

Sunday- Desperate Housewives my guity pleasure has become just a guilty deed. I havnt watched any of this season heck I tried watching the 2nd episode and I fell asleep. Ironic enough I woke up just in time for Brothers and Sisters. I also watched Dirty Sexy Money Which by the way is decent enough and I completley forgot to mention Aliens in America is a show that makes you want to smile. Comments Welcome

This Weeks Best Bets!! Premire Week!

Okay So this week is officially the first week of the new television season so Heres the downlow because theres so many new stuff Ill tell you my 4 faviriote things and thoughout the week Ill be telling you what I think about All the new Dramas and maybe some comedies! So here's Monday

1. Heroes Season 2 Premire! I seriously can not wait, Even though I feel the finalie could of been better Im really intrigued about the Characters and it starts 4 months after the explosion!

2. At 11 Bucks an hour its the new Show Chuck! Now Im insterested in the show but Im even more insterested in why everyone thinks its going to be this HUGE hit Its the one show thats premireing this year that I have yet tooread much up on are seen any previews. I guess Ill see tomorrow! (I think it will be another studio 60)

3 Now If you want to stick around after Heroes is Journeyman I find it to be that old movie Time Machine. Itsa love story mixed in with a few shocking elements, Now you have to understand its another show I have yet to see and previews on either so Cant really say my thoughts but Im excited!

Okay Last but certainly least is The Big Bang Theory! I dont know every ones saying its very sterotypical and perdictable but I saw the preview and it seemed to kind of have potential plus I enjoy Kaley Cucco (8 Simple Rules) not to mention shes hot but as for how good the show Is I think it will do good put thats just a theory! Man I love puns.

Tuesday

1Reaper Premires and everyone also says its good the one show that actually does. Now it seems to be a knock off of a few shows that Ithink we can all think of, but there seems to be a different aspect of the show that makes if different.Hopefully theres a good plot each episode and gives me good laughs.

2. Sopranos Meets Geogre Lopez it equels Cane both shows are cancelled so good time to bring this in to the mix. I saw the previews and I was thinking CBS might have somthing its about a Cuban-American family in south Flordia and CBS is claiming its Epic! and thiers premotingitas this dark, jealous sex appealing show!

3 House! Need I say more!

4 Beatuy and The Geek! I saw it for the first time last week okay I lied I watched the last 15 miniutes of it but..... I think the new twist is cool but for those who dont know they have 1 Male beauty and 1 female geek this season. The Male geek though probally not going to be advertised in the show does have some Acting abilty He has been on a few shows and a couple of movies. This gives me hope that reality television is scripted andare manipulated in shady ways. Oh well.

So many New Shows Wednesday

1.Bionic Woman Is my First pick and kind of excited! I also saw promotions for it and previews they look decent.

2.If you have been living a very Private Life you probally dont know about the spin-off Private Practice. I was starting to actually like Grey's this Season and get into it but just because a show makes money does not mean a copy cat of it will be. Now I know ABC says its not like Greys but who are they trying to kid heck Adison will get there and still be Jealous of Meredith. Though I love the Cast and the whole starting over premise. I would honestly say I think Lost should just put me out of my misery for the next few months and premire in its place.

3.Life- I love the premise hes trying to start his life over ohh man I just enjoy the premise, I hope they have alot more charcter evolution and more of him trying to adjust rather then actually having the usual cop drama which is getting really boring in television and used way to much.

Another thing getting boring and used to much in television is The premise of only RICH and powerfull people lead dark secretive lives and only they have dysfunctional Drama. This is all to evident in the new show Dirty,Sexy, Money. I hate the title who came up with this?? Now Theres a few actors I find funny but this show I will watch but only for the sake of not saying I hate it with out ever watching it. Now I understand that its alot more easier seeing rich people who we envy lead dark complex lives but I would rather see an average family come to televison where the audience can relate too.The shows who have fallen in this trap are: Brothers and Sisters, Gossip Girl, The O.C, Cane, and though I still love the show but hate too say it Veronica Mars who had more drama then the richcounter partsso shes exempt man I miss Veronica Mars.

Thursday

Greys Anatomy Returns to be honest the plot line Im only wanting too see is christina's post break down witch Sandra Oh did so well on. If its Centered on the Greys of the show and there relationship I might ugh and I can already see that the thing Meredith and Lexie will have in common is there insistent whiny atittude! Now I know I was bashing Greys but still can't wait.

Smallville with Supergirl. I dont think this premire will be as good as last years but Im very excited.

I am going to try and get into Ugly Betty this year I really will I never actually watched it last year so I am going to try!

Friday

I dont actually watch television on fridays because well its friday but there is a good reason Jason Dohring Logan Echolls from Veroncia mars fame is on the new Show Moonlight which is seriously the only reason why I would watch

Sunday- Ill put up next week. If your thinking the saem thing I am and how im going to watch all these shows Ill find away! I would appreciate if you posted a comment.

Gossip Girl My thoughts

Since the review application is not up yet I thought I would write my thoughts on the blog.

Imagine Marisa Cooper and Veronica Mars moving into a house together on Wisteria Lane?? If you like that idea that would make a decent show then you will enjoy Gossip Girl. A decent show New Teen Drama with flare that Im sure everybody will be gossiping about at the CW!

Seriously are you still imagining it I mean sure California Girl's Marisa and Veronica would never get along and it might be a cat fight but put them in the setting of the scandal of Wisteria Lane well let the drama begin . I got the pleasure of watching the show on CTV up here in Canada a day earlier before the CW audience in the states. The first thing that attracted me to the show was Kristian Bells voice who Ive heared for 3 years on my beloved Veroncia Mars which CW brutully cancelled last season. (I know Im still Bitter) Still feeling guilty CW hired her to narrate the show and ease themselves of thier trechery and guilt upon Veronica Fans alike. I also enjoyed the Promo's and the fact CTV picked up the show which they rareley do for any WB/CW shows so I thought it must be good. Okay onto the review the beautiful cast potrays the characters well and are all good actors except for maybe Ed Westwick who plays Chuck who seems to be trying too hard but maybe thats the point? Thier Characters are well introduced and the show has two Teen Drama clicks going for them. The characters have good fashion sence and amazing music just like the O.C was capable of doing without it being noticed and heared too mcuh. The editing was great and the writing was good but the cartoon character Chuck is just too much for me and when he talks and uses his facial expressions it feels like Im watching a disney villian. The Girls are goregus I think Taylor Momenson who plays Jenny is hot and cant believe shes only 14 and plays her character well, and I hope that people will look past her not being like the character in the books. Another thing I cant stand which I hope the writers will change really soon are the PARENTS if they become like the adult figures on the other CW Teen drama One Tree Hill I will stop watching. The parents already seem to have a secret dark past and if they act all soapy and 12 years old like the adults on one tree hill who knows If ill stick around. I have never heared are read the Gossip Girl books so I cant compare the between the tv show. Im a male audience and I always give shows a chance even if they have "Girls" in thier title either way the show Im sure will be a hit among everyone exceding CW standards especially with a leadin like ANTM. Overall Il keep watching since its on at 7 here and nothing else worth watching at the time plus Im intrigued to find out if they find somthing to believe in just like the CW Promos advertise and CTV slogan--

Your Nobody Untill Your Talked About!

Life IS Wild is one of those medicore Dramas that are just enjoyable to watch when nothing is on.

Jessie wow hes built! and mid I ask why does he wear the same style of shirts everytime especially in South Africa. He wants the girl and finds out shes engaged.

What to expect from each episode they have to deal with thier guests and most likeley theres a problem with an animal. So perdictable with the Ring yet still enjoyable the parents are great to watch. Katie's love triangle gets complicated though another perdictable storyline. Chase stuff was boring. Now I know south africain history and Im glad they incorporate those past stuff into the show.

Gossip Girl is the only New show I have completley fallen In Love with therefore I enjoy every seconend of it. Now I would like to have one episode where there is not a party maybe some school drama? but a masked ball was very smooth writing. Serena breaks her date of with Dan and finds a new one because Dan lies to her about Vannessa, I like Vanessa her syle is different and in most people would say ghetto fabulous with an atitude but I hope she has more then a few dimensions then just hating the upper east side she reminds of Anna from The O.C and Anna annoyed the hell out of me so hopefully this I wont hate her. The Nate strylines are better and thier individual to him and I cant wait for the drug accusation to unfold. When he crawls too Serena I want to smack him, now I know were supposed to feel that he likes Serena still but it would of been more shocking if he was having a good time at the Ball and then tell Serena I mean Jenny how he feels. Speaking of Jenny I want to see her Naive Young and Sweet like the promos describe not all of this, now shes strong and mean. Not to mention she can stand up to Blair one night and not the next.. but now that Blair knows she was at the ball who knows. Chuck got what was coming to him. I hope Blair and Serena hate eachother again because thier hatred lasted two episodes and I hope Nate messes it up without being blamed. Serena and Dan bond. Dan is dumb hes too whiny.. for my taste I hate characters that have to whine I mean the audience get what the writers are trying to get across. Must I say everyone looked great and I really want to go to a masked ball one day.. even though I wont be as blind to knowing who everyone is. Who else loved the parents this episode sure thier still useless and only purpose is to fill time but it was great to see all the parents interact and let thier sins come out in thier children. Theres 3 negative problems I found with this episode 1st was The narrating of Kbell I knows shes on Heroes (Which I saw and Im glad to have Veronica Mars season 3 dvds out Heroes and Gossip girl to have her acompany me) but thier so little narrating from her it was almost absent. I mean In Veronica mars she was the Star and had narrating. Also They should of introduced Vannessa from the beginning.. and last but not least Its not back next week Booo! So till next time xoxo haha

With My Intro I didint hate the episode I just hated Past and Present Supermen I mean the writing was just sloppy. Where did Knox come from he was a great Villian but how did he become imortal I know they are trying to make similarites between Him and Clark but wheres the plot! I mean Clark first of all thinks that Chole is his entire world and that It would only matter if she Remembers him. And his whole interaction with Lex, Clark bugged me so much and when hes with his ohh gracious white Lana Lang who knows so much and is a crimminal mastermind who is in her evil lab which by the way she wears all black too. Clark is naive but Lana and Clark have 0 chemistry I mean we know they will never be together but as a fan Ive been waiting for good chemistry between them kind of like in Season 5 episodes when they had chemistry Lana and Clark dont have anything 2 years later. The Kara Jimmy Storyline way to forced we get it Kara like James but must it be so horrible to seriously push Chole under the bus this year know I mean push her under the Airplane. This was the only good thing going in this episode and Kara leaving to find the crystal Ill get to that, She leaves because she loves Jimmy to much too hurt him or for him to be worried when she snaps at least thats the way I perceived it. See this is why the writers need to write because some people could of perceived it as she knows Jimmy Will never accept her I dont know?? NEXT WEEK I perdict Lana Lang will takeover the world seriously her secret lab is so Saturday Morning cartoonish it makes me laugh.

The Third episode was good in places and awful in others Kara and her wanting to fit in and her overall naiveness was a good touch and it was pointed out but they could of used another plot/storyline to get it across then this Pagenent but none the less Kara looked good doing it and to the Smallville producers thats all that matters.
Lana Returns and so does the whipped Clark, I feel like Clark gets trown under the bus way too much they could of prlonged Lana's return and how Come Lana thinks she can just move back in, and not even aknowlege what has happened over the previous year I like Lana being here since by Seasons end they will figure out they cant be together only reason even though I would rather of had Sad Clark all season the Redemmefied Lex Luthor. The Evil Lex is gone and we know its not going to last but I want evil Lex back, He finds Kara and I hope this dynamic gets better the Seasons plotlines and Character relationships are going to be Fantastic. Another plotline that I enjoy is Jimmy Olsen's now hatred for Metor freaks it puts a spin on thier relationship and puts Aaron having some need development as a now main character. Aaron was great is the freese scene. One last thing we all know Lana's Cleverness was influenced by Lexes evilness but why have Lex once again bowing down to her every whim. Overall another good episode to make new storylines and relationships speaking of that the connection between earth and Kypto I like it something we have yet to truly discuss. Next Week Dean Cain guest stars.
