A TV Week in Review


Here is a quick review of what transpired in all the shows I watch this past week

Monday Night- By far the busiest night in television, with Chuck, Heroes, House, and even Gossip Girl (yeah I know…) on the slate. That Monday marked the return of Chuck and Heroes after a month or two, and NBC said that this was the time to start watching Heroes again. Now I didn’t think this episode blew me away, but it could set up for a more interesting story minus any time travel. I find House to be not as good as it usually is season, and that trend continued this week, unfortunately. The Foreman and “13” relationship doesn’t feel right and Cuddy pulling pranks over House was the only redeeming factor in this weeks episode. Gossip Girl, I do not know why I like this show, but I do. Kind of like the reason why I liked The O.C., and this weeks episode proved to be full of drama, drama, drama.

Tuesday- This is the day I wish House was on, but alas, poor scheduling in my opinion. Fringe is the only show I tune into on Tuesdays, but I’m not too into it. Interesting episode, but ultimately not the greatest there has been.

Wednesday – Oh Lost, just a gem. Easily the best part of my Wednesday evening and this week was awesome. I really like the time travel component in this show compared to Heroes, as it sets up for some interesting encounters, including a young Danielle.

Thursday – 30 Rock and The Office, what more can I ask for? This week I found both shows to be strong, but 30 Rock was just so much better. All of the storylines were amazing and we even got a new guest star in Jon Hamm from Mad Men fame. Alec Baldwin was brilliant as Jack Donaghy and his Spanish counterpart. In The Office, it said “to be continued” and is it just me or is this a first for the series?

Weekly Awards
Best Episode – 30 Rock – too good of an episode
Best Line – Tracy from 30 Rock – “Have you ever tried Scotch? It’s terrible!” I really liked this line, almost to a fault.
And I can’t think of any more awards, maybe next week…..
All together, good week for TV.
