Yeah sometimes I lose track of things when I leave them on the ceiling
Like my blog. Apparently I left my blog on the ceiling.
Unusuals. Because it's been gone for quite some time now. And I'm sad. Especially because some genius in the music department used "Tunak Tunak Tun" as part of the soundtrack in one of the final episodes. And the Eddie/Walsh practical joke thing was brilliant.
Pushing Daisies. The end felt really rushed, but at least it was there. :-)
In Plain Sight. There have been some odd episodes recently, especially that last one with the guy's invisible child. Especially with the psychologist who never actually seems to do her job.
Closer. Way depressing again, but they're so good at it. Poor Kitty and guy who accidentally killed someone.
Burn Notice. Haha guest starring Michael Weston. But then he was playing a character very similar to Pruitt Taylor Vince in
Touching Evil and I got confused with Jeffrey Donovan being there.
Royal Pains. I really, really, really hate the opening titles. Really. But get past the stupid ad campaign and the stupid opening titles and it's a really good show. Even Evan has grown on me.

I prefer to have my pie and normal it too
I'm so far behind I've got to catch up on season finales, cancelled burnoffs, the Upfronts, and summer premieres. So here goes...
Fringe. Dear TV people: announcing special guest stars in the opening credits ruins the surprise.
Bones. Why does Brennan think she'd be able to raise a kid if she can't interact well with people? The Stewie stuff almost made my head explode. They managed to get everyone for the episode inside Booth's head except Loren Dean? Sad.
Ugly Betty. It's still watchable, but the finale was way depressing and clearly ABC is trying to kill it.
Grey's. Didn't they already do a "please remove my healthy leg" guy? Except this time it was a guy I went to college with and he didn't use a chainsaw. I really liked the finale though. The George thing almost managed to surprise me. And Derek and Meredith had the best non-wedding ever.
Supernatural. I wasn't insanely into this past season, but the finale was AMAZING. Poor Sam and Dean and the Angel of Thursday.
Unusuals. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Ok, but at least it's still on for now. They did just do something a little weird where it felt like they'd flipped episodes like
Leverage did because characters didn't seem to know things about other characters that they should, but the eps were clearly in order for other reasons, so that was just first season quirks that should have been given the chance to get worked out. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. This show is so fun. Dammit.
Pushing Daisies. I've waited this long. I might as well wait until the last one is done this weekend.
Burn Notice. Yay! It's back!
Royal Pains. I did not expect to like this at all. I was pleasantly surprised. The brother is funny but he needs to be toned down just a notch. Though it was quite amusing when Divya called him "sidekick". I'm going to keep watching.
In Plain Sight. Dear TV people: advertising the end where bridge explodes in the commercials for a week gives away the ending. But Marshall in the car at the end made up for everything.
The Closer. The way Sanchez got involved in the case without beating me over the head about his brother dying last year is why I love this show so much.
Fox Upfronts:
-Glee was amusing. It's a maybe for me.
-Human Target has Mark Valley and Chi McBride but doesn't sound interesting at all and
The Futon Critic didn't like it either.
-Past Life is also a maybe I might check out midseason.
-Oh well about
Sarah Connor Chronicles. At least is was a vaguely acceptable finale.
-Fringe is moving to Thursdays at 9pm and I'm going to cry.
-And then the most amazing shocker ever is that Fox renewed a Friday night sci-fi show. But they left it in the slot of death. Hmm.
NBC Upfronts:
-Chuck is renewed. That is all I care about. And besides, the press release I was reading had no details about the new shows anyways (except I already know about
Parenthood, joining the ABC shows rehashing stuff from the 80s and early 90s).
ABC Upfronts:
-I don't get to keep
The Unusuals, but at least I get to keep
Castle!
-I don't think I care about
Flash Forward or
The Forgotten.
-I probably wouldn't care about
Deep End, except it's got Tina Majorino, Billy Zane, and Clancy Brown!
-I also probably wouldn't care about
Eastwick, except IT'S STARRING PAUL GROSS!!!
-Also joining the shows where the actors have me more interested in the premise are the Whedon/sci-fi alums -
Happy Town with Amy Acker and Sam Neill (!), and
V with Elizabeth Mitchell, Joel Gretsch, and Morena Baccarin.
-And then there's
Scrubs, which in the press release, still only mentions JD and that amuses me greatly.

Getting prints off your corpse, the corpse, the corpse's corpse
Lost. Um. Yep.
The Unusuals. I really enjoy this show. I hope it comes back.
Ugly Betty. When they announced several months ago that Christina is leaving, it's pretty obvious who took the baby.
Supernatural. I'm very curious where this is going. Because we know it's renewed for next year. Unless that's a joke and they're really going to kill each other next week.
Grey's. That poor girl's friends all died and Alex stole her speech! That's a bad day.
I was also really hoping Daddy! would show up on
Supernatural just so I could be amused knowing he was on
Grey's at the same time. Oh well. JDM can't be a ghost hallucination in two places at once.

Kind-of ruins the magic when you find out Satan's name is Todd or Larry
OK, OK, where was I? Finally caught up for real, that's where I am...
Reaper. I officially gave up several weeks ago after I said I might. I watched one more episode, got some answers, and decided those answers were silly and that was enough for me.
Cupid. Forget it. I never gave it another shot. There's too much on that's better.
Chuck. Sarah and Casey as nerds was awesome. Awesome finding out was awesome. Chuck being incredibly obvious by talking into his watch all the time was not so awesome. Finale was awesome. NBC renewing this would be awesome. Come on NBC!
Castle. I love this show. I love Nathan. There's a little too much pop culture reference wink-winking, but all scenes between Castle and his daughter make up for everything.
Fringe. Did I miss the part where Charlie suddenly got clearance and actually officially became Olivia's partner? I'm not complaining, just confused. And oh, JJ Abrams, thanks for the
Star Trek references the week your movie comes out. Especially coming from Clint Howard who was the best crazy man ever on
DS9. I'd be annoyed with the cross-promotion, but it was so wonderful.
Lost. Did Sawyer actually ask for the security tapes to be erased over the radio where anyone could hear it? Hurley and
Star Wars was wonderful. I knew that bomb had to come back somehow.
The Unusuals. I'm liking this a lot. It's like a procedural, but different. Still a little shaky but I think it's finding its footing. Please keep it ABC.
Ugly Betty. Yay Betty's back. But it's back mediocre. Oh well.
Bones. Dammit Nigel Murray is back. Dammit Insignificant Guy is back. Clark! Clark is back! Oh! It's Booth's old therapist! I'm so happy! No, now they're gone and there's some other guy. Great. When did Brennan start calling herself Bones?
Grey's. Oooh, Amy Madigan is back! And more proof that since Mere finally grew up, someone else had to regress. Plus, has Izzie had the worst longest year and a half in the history of time?
Supernatural. I just found out the actress who plays Lilith is exactly my age. Exactly. Random. Anyways, interesting spin on the jump the shark trend of siblings from the sky. Too bad they already pulled the But Wait! There's Two Of Them! trick earlier this year and it was totally predictable. As was this past Mommy Disappeared For a Second With a Demon on the Loose! Quick! Everyone Assume She's OK! Thoroughly amused though that no one bothered to give Jimmy something to sleep in besides his suit. I'm having suit pajama déjà-vu. And even though I'm not as crazy about this season as I was for 2 and 3, there's still amazing moments like Misha Collins The Angel of Thursday is wonderful, and so was that whole thing between Sam and Dean at the end. Where do we go from here?
Sarah Connor. Well, that I guess is an OK series finale. But I hope it isn't.
Dollhouse. I'm still liking it, but I probably wouldn't have gotten attached without certain people's involvement. It took me this long to bother to learn everyone's names. I was incredibly annoyed at this past episode that started with Topher's speech to the moron audience at home who can't possibly figure out what's going on even though we just saw it. But then it got much better with that Alpha twist that I guessed right away and then the show convinced me I was wrong. Pretty awesome.
In Plain Sight. Oh, Marshall, how I've missed your random knowledge. Welcome back.

Tigers don't pee stripes
Cupid. Again. I don't know. I don't know. I'll give it another shot because I want DVDs of the original series. I wish I could put it all out of my head and let this have its own merits, but Jeremy Piven was just so awesome, and I'm also not sure this version has many of its own merits. And I'm pretty sure one of the reasons I actually liked that first episode (Margueritte Moreau) won't be back.
Chuck. Stuff happened to Awesome that was very un-awesome. And lookit! The previews gave away who Chuck's dad is. :-(
Castle. They're going a little overboard on the pop culture reference witty lines. But the show is still incredibly enjoyable and all scenes between Castle and little Castle are awesome.
Reaper. I feel there has been some meddling either to try to resurrect or to kill this show. It's kind-of turning me off. I can't put my finger on a tone thing, but I have noticed a conspicuous lack of a couple recurring characters. And I think the whole Sam is either the son of the Devil or the son of a demon thing just kind-of killed it for me anyways. It's not the same as a mortal whose soul was sold.
Lost. So thanks to Hurley for pointing that out, but Ben didn't remember because Richard said he wouldn't? Hurley and Miles were quite amusing anyways.
Bones. Cam said it for me: "Welcome back Clark." Please stay. Angela, shut up, sweetie.
Supernatural. Sam is more powerful with Ruby's blood? Why isn't Ruby more powerful with Ruby's blood? Surprise! Uriel is evil. And as soon as he said, "Alls you have to do..." he had to die. He's a bad angel AND he has bad grammar. "It's a Terrible Life" was not my genie episode, but still enjoyable though icky, icky, icky. I'm sure Raoul was happy with that one, though I'm even farther behind catching up on TWOP summaries. And then the new one. Way cutesy with breaking the 4th wall, which I usually don't like but it won me over with the "Heart" reference. Not to say that I didn't laugh like crazy at all the fun stuff, but I'm in no rush to call it a favorite. Especially because the best gag was ripped from "Mystery Spot" and I'm just not as into the whole apocalypse thing (aside from the appearances of the Angel of Thursday) as everyone else seems to be. Sam and Dean having good dramatic scenes are very different than Dean being angsty over What Happened In Hell.
Sarah Connor. John just became awesome! Yay! Figuring out what happend to Riley just made up for a whole bunch of things.
Dollhouse. I'm getting more into it. But. It. Was. Such. A. Shock. When. The. Neighbor. Was. A. Doll. I really hope that wasn't supposed to be a surprise, except I think it was. And that last episode, the best so far, was kind-of like Buffy's "Band Candy".

That's like being protected by a smurf.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow, it's actually been over a month. And I took little notes the whole time thinking, tomorrow... and now I don't know if I can decipher any of them. But I'll give it a shot.
Lost. I'm so much more accepting of new Losties who were properly introduced to the series as opposed to those who were supposed to be there the whole time and I'm suddenly supposed to care. It's kind-of hypocritical, but not really.
Leverage. I was unsure about it, but it definitely grew on me.
Brothers and Sisters. Was it on purpose that the new sibling looks like sparkly vampire boy?
Chuck. Ellie and Awesome didn't wonder why Sarah was all beat up when they saw her? And ha ha
Karate Kid reference.
Ugly Betty. Hey look! Daniel uses double blade ice skates just like I used to. And he can't skate in them just like I couldn't. Because they're stupid and I don't know why anyone thinks they're useful. Definitely more a fan of Betty's new guy than stupid neighbor guy. And Ralph Macchio is back. Sweep the leg.
Greys. Hey look! 2 characters grow up so that means 2 characters have to revert to throwing tantrums.
Burn Notice. I love the way Fiona says "documents" like they're more evil than guns.
Sarah Connor. I'm so confused because fox.com made me watch the last two episodes backwards. Grr.
Dollhouse. It's growing on me. I'm still not sure if I would care if there weren't certain people involved, but I started that way with
Leverage as well, so who knows. The only issue is of course will the show have time to get to that point?
Castle. Grabbed me much better than
Dollhouse did right out of the gate. Some crazy casting going on with the guest stars, and a few too many pop culture references thrown into certain scenes. And it's kind-of distracting to see
General Hospital's (late) Dr. Ian Devlin as one of the main good guys. But fun
OLTL joke from the former Joey Buchanan's always awesome Nathan.
Bones. OK, Cam, don't you remember what happened the last time you cut into a body, just to see? Apparently not. And the car thing was very reminiscent of the stupid driving in England episode. But wow it's about time Bones decides to take an interest in learning about people!
Kyle XY. THE END! Except not because it was a ridiculous cliffhanger. And as much as I complained about the show, come on, at least give it an ending. Even
CANCELLED! got an ending. And Tom Foss wasn't even in the last episode. He was back in the previous one for a few seconds, but so not fair. At least Andy got to make an appearance, even if it was only on video. No more Sour Patch Kids for me!

I was having a really good time until the assassins stole my pants and tried to kill me.
Things are going on hiatus again so I'll be able to catch up. These last few weeks were TV crazy. Still behind on
Monk, Lost, Ugly Betty, and
Burn Notice.
Chuck. (The one that wasn't the rerun). Did Awesome just say something about how there's no excitement at the Buy More? In the episode after the hostage one? Whatever happened to Anna?
Kyle XY. I was about to give up, since, CANCELLED! but yay! Tom Foss! And just as I was having trouble remembering whatever happened to Adam. Oh well. Now I know.
The Closer. Yes, yes, Billy Burke is often the bad guy. Except on
Fringe, so far at least. How interesting that we've not yet closed the case.
Fringe. Olivia is now Sam Winchester. Fantastic.
Leverage. Dude. Parker drawing museum blueprints for Pictionary or whatever. And then getting jury duty. Awesome. Seriously it's like magic how her character has turned out to be my favorite.
Lost. I already said I wouldn't believe any deaths until they weren't undone, and there you go.
Ugly Betty. Ok, still no reason Betty had to leave her apartment, but so happy she's finally over annoying neighbor who isn't Gio or Henry.
Bones. So, so, so obvious that someone involved with the investigation was the Gravedigger when it was known that the evidence was missing. And it's hairless Brendan Fehr again! And Booth gets help from a figmenty ghosty on a FOX show (see
Fringe and
Sarah Connor Chronicles).
Supernatural. Nice twist with that siren there. I'll admit to falling for the Sam always gets the monster gag. But then it got a bit Bobby ex machina at the end.
Grey's. Well, we knew if Addison was coming to town something had to go wrong with the pregnant patient. And ugh I just really don't care what's going on with those other crossed-over people. Especially because I had to skip out on
Burn Notice to watch it (no way am I giving
Private Practice hits on the internet).
Burn Notice. Joel Gretsch! And M. C. Gainey = Brisco + Big Smith reunion! Yay!
Monk. I just like the episodes so much better when they don't start with showing you what happened. The last two weeks were perfect examples of this. I was so much more into the one with Monk's old bully than the football one.
Psych. It felt like Jonathan Silverman was less pathalogical liar and more plain crazy. And maybe I'd have more to say about that one, except I just saw "Tuesday the 17th", (co-) written and directed by James Roday, and it was absolutely wonderful. A slasher with Shawn Spencer wink-winking at you is the best possible me-approved slasher.
SCC. Well, at least Riley acknowledged John's suicide complex. Also, I think back now to that episode last season I said I didn't really care about and realize I should have paid more attention or it wouldn't have taken me completely by surprise when figmenty ghosty Kyle Reese showed up played by Jonathan Jackson (I have a better excuse for not noticing him again earlier this season while catching up on the tiny little fox.com window).
Dollhouse. So there was this show on tonight. None of my friends were anticipating it at all or anything. It was by this writer/director guy I know nothing about. Oh wait, except I do. And it felt like a pilot, which I really wish I didn't have to say. Except we all know the pilot was overhauled, and it probably would have been nice to see it when it wasn't, but I probably should be thankful that at least we got to see it at all. And now I'm a little angry I just thanked FOX for airing a series in order when that should be a given. But! Amy Acker was there! Felicia Day will be there eventually! And what I did see made me decently curious to continue.
