Okay, so I have been slacking with blogging on last week's premieres. So here goes, this is the best I can do with it being a week ago. I promise to keep up better after this. I hate getting behind. I am really trying to catch up, but like I said before this is not my job, as much as I would like it to be. And this week has been very demanding with my job. I hope to have Wednesday and Thursday up either later tonight or tomorrow. And then Friday I hope I can get this week done. And after that I hope to update each day. I am just getting into this blogging thing, and will get you the info faster hopefully. Just bare with me and stay tuned...
90210- Addicted per usual. I am into the teen drama thing. I do find it amazing at what is going on in high schools. Granted I know that a lot of the things going on in West Beverly High really is happening in high schools across the nation. However, I was in high school merely 6 years ago, and I do not remember it being anything like that. And I was even in high school after the original 90210 and that was pretty hot and heavy too. That being said, I did like the portrayal of Annie thinking that it was "the" night. That was one of the most realistic high school moments I have seen in a high school drama. High school girls, often think the guy they are with are the one, and that it is the perfect night. When in fact after the fact she realized that it was not the night and not what she wanted.
Annie did amazing on stage filling in for Adrianna in the school play. Although, who did not see that coming. Adrianna's drug problem, has been around since the premiere, when she owed money to the dealer and stole the money from Naomi. Although in this episode we did get to see into the root of Adrianna's drug use. Her mother is hounding her to make it big again. Her mother inviting pretty much all of Hollywood to opening night is what caused Adrianna to dive right back into drugs. She was doing so well practicing with Brenda and getting it down. I truly believe that she could have been amazing too. Sad...but it happens in real life too. I mean do not get me wrong I know that 90210 is not really what American High School is, but there are some schools just like it.
I am absolutely loving the Silver/Dixon relationship. So cute! And I love how it is portraying Silver as the lead in the relationship. And while she is in the lead, that does not mean she wants to jump in his pants. Despite her being aggressive she is not a whore, which is refreshing. In recent years, when a female is portrayed as aggressive it means she wants sex. So I am in love with this pairing. I loved when Dixon and Silver were making out, and he starts going on about how he doesn't have a condom. How it was in his wallet for four years and the night he give it away, so funny and classic. Then loved how Silver was like we're gonna take it slow.
While the relationship with Silver and Dixon is heating up, another relationship in the elite zip code is fizzling. The relationship of course is the relationship between Naomi's parents. Naomi can not come to grasp that her parents are over. There are two reasons I like this storyline. One being that divorce is something that 50% of families in the US experience, and denial is a main way that children deal with the divorce of their parents. Reason two, this storyline is true 90210 fashion, anyone who watched the original knows that almost all of the parents in the elite zip code were divorced. If I remember correctly the only family that was not divorced was the Walsh's and they were the implant family from Minnesota.
The Mentalist-LOVE this show! It does kind of fall into the stereotypical crime drama. It is a guy who is good at reading people and figuring out crime. It reminds me a little bit of Monk, without the OCD. That may be why I like it though, I love Monk! It was a classic crime too, it was a missing child and the father pleading for his daughter to come back. Only to find that the father had killed child, and then the mother throws the twist in there, and when she puts two and two together, she shoots him. I did not see that one coming. But all in all this is a must see, and receives two thumbs up from Nikki. And if you haven't read it was the number 1 new drama on TV. So stay tuned and if you didn't catch it last week (or this week seeing as Tuesday has past), no need to worry, it's a show you can catch up in, because the plot changes every week. So I highly recommend this one.
Law and Order: SVU- So it took me a whole week but I figured out my number one question while watching this show, who the hell is the new ADA and what other show is she on. In case you were wondering the same thing, she plays Lindsay on One Tree Hill. Speaking of the new ADA not sure I like her, in fact so much so that I can not recall her name. So I will let you know my feelings as the season goes on.
All in all I loved this episode. Twisted as it was, loved it. Luke Perry played the foster dad to this little boy who claimed to be abused. The abuse first came out that it was making him eat his veggies, then was his foster mom was taking him to a place where they made him undress and gave her money. Well the twist came out that, the little boy was actually the son of a rape victim that Olivia had years ago played by Sarah Gilbert. Well the story got even more twisted and long story short Luke Perry's character was a sick twisted man.
He raped his wife before she was his wife, and then stepped in to repair her lock and be her rock. From there he raped several more women, including Sarah Gilbert's character. And yes he was raising her son as well. Like I said sick and twisted. This storyline was wonderfully woven, and makes me excited for this season. As the seasons go on and on, you have to wonder if they will find new stories or ways to use old stories. This was a way to use an old story and twist it into a new story. Fabulous, loved it. Two thumbs up on this season! Must watch!!
Without a Trace- So apparently I was not caught with this show when it started. I believe it fell victim to something else I watched last year or something not exactly sure. I was clueless as to why Jack was no longer in charge of the agents, the head agent if you will. Steve Weber is now that guy, and I do not know his name yet either. I mean I have a lot of TV to watch and I couldn't get all the characters down pack yet, plus not sure I like him either. I mean Jack was the man, and yes Jack is still around, but he needs to be the head agent. I wish I knew why he wasn't, and that will take some research on my part. I will get there and I will report back after next weeks episode. So I didn't like how Jack was basically the office bitch, and that distracted me from the episode and I can barely tell you much about it. So as much as I love this show, I can't say for sure if I will be watching at the end of the season. It was a busy week, and I do not want to judge the whole season on this episode, so I will stick it out a couple of episodes and figure out if I still love it with Jack not in the head spot. And I do love Steven Weber, miss him in Side Order of Life, which was axed wayyy to early. So stay tuned...
Biggest Loser- So I find something to be true...I always find myself eating crap when I am watching Biggest Loser, maybe it is supposed to be like yo stop eating that crap. It just makes me feel like crap and want to work out while I watch the show. Anyhow this was the second episode of the season, and it was the week 2 slump. In every season thus far the second week has been quite a slump. They had them place bets on who would lose certain percentage of weight loss for $10,000, which no one won.
Loved the challenge this week, it was a fun way to add in exercise. They had HUGE water slides down the hill and you have to walk up and down the hill. It was hard, these individuals work hard. Rocco also made his appearance this week to do a food challenge. Which I loved, he has the teams split into the cooks and the non-cooks. The non-cooks thinking they have it sweet and they will be the taste testers...NOPE. He has the non-cooks cooking and the cooks as the taste testers.
They Gray Team ended up going home and as always looked fabulous as they gave us a shot forward. This show truly is an inspiration. Although the product placement is getting OLD. So stay tuned to see the transformations right in frong of your eyes.
NCIS- So last season ended and we were left pondering what was going to happen to our beloved NCIS crew. They were all reassigned and we were left with Gibbs having a whole new team, which made Abby miserable. So we are watching as Gibb's new team is at work and not very good at it may I add, and seeing where everyone else is in their new assignments. We learn though that this new team is a setup to see which one is the spy. It was crazy, it was a rollercoaster, and I loved it. Scary that the real spy is still out there, but glad the gang should be back. I would love to write more about this episode because I loved it so much, but time is a ticking and I need to catch up. So I will devote more time later to the exciting episodes to come.

Premiere Week Sunday and Monday
Before I start in on this week in TV, I just want to apologize. I had planned on writing a blog per day for all the shows. However, this week was just crazy and I literally just caught up with most of it. So the first week may not be as great as it should be, but I will at least give you a thumbs up and down.
Army Wives- I was a little disappointed! Pamela's stalker storyline finally came to a close, and it was not a good end. To be honest, I hate scary stuff and all that jazz, but this stalker was so low key. Yes her stalker has been to her home, and in contact with her kids; but he just randomly shows up at Betty's and Pamela see's the rose tattoo and bam he's caught. Seriously? Not a fan of that. Trevor's growing addition really shows us what soldiers are going through. It is killing him that he is home with his family, while his unit is still over in Iraq fighting. Yes, he wants to be home with Roxy and the boys, but he thinks it is unfair while his unit is still fighting and away from their families. It really shows how close units in the military are. The diplomat and how he attempted to rape Claudia Joy, I think could of had more of a storyline. It was almost like it was just thrown in there for extras. General Holden did take it seriously, but I feel it could have been a major part of the episode rather than more of a backstory.
I am in love with the direction they are taking with Denise. It is showing a woman going through her "midlife crisis". I would not call it midlife crisis, but that is the best way to describe it. This is a woman who was her husband's wife, a woman who quit her job to fully take on her responsibilities as a wife and mother. Now as her husband and son are soldiers and are away, she can finally be her own woman. She now is back at the hospital picking up her nursing career and having her own life while her husband is overseas. This is really the first time she is out there and living since she married Frank. Yes, she had an emotional affair and a kiss with Finn. And she was deeply sadden by his death. It seems like Denise resent Frank for making her give up her nursing and life. So with the resentment, she fell for another man who was willing to let her explore herself. I can't wait to see as she goes further into her self discovery.
How I Met Your Mother- Hilarious as always. I really do not think Stella is the woman for Ted. If we found out already who he marries then well the title is done and may in fact be a way to Jump the Shark. Unless the twist is, the mother of his kids isn't his first wife. Who knows? I do find it sad that he doesn't know a single thing about the woman he is to marry.
If Marshall doesn't get a job soon, that is going to get boring as hell. The stupid shit he does will only be funny for a little bit, not forever. Lily really didn't play a big part in the episode besides being a counselor for Barney. Speaking for Barney, I personally like the spin in things. I just don't know how much it would work in the show. If Barney wasn't a womanizer, his character would be completely different. Robin doesn't see him like that, she does see the softer side, but doesn't believe it. And obviously Barney can't give up on sleeping with random women. So a relationship with Barney and Robin, won't work yet.
Big Bang Theory- Leonard and Penny dating is funny. Sad that Penny doesn't think she is smart enough to date Leonard and felt the need to lie that she graduated from community college. Sheldon played a major part in this episode and he was utterly hilarious. The writing on this show is just hilarious. The lines and comebacks are just perfect. I liked how the relationship between Leonard and Penny wasn't perfect, because that would not have worked and would have made the show dumb. The camera in the hallway was hilarious. I literally laughed pretty much from open to close of the show. I look forward to seeing how the possible dating of Leonard and Penny unravels this season.
Two and a Half Men- First Jake is so grown up, and hilarious as a "typical teen". I loved the storyline of this episode. From the opening season of Charlie see a former lover with a child, that was dressed just like him, and named "Chuck". To the tail end when it turned out the former lover was just a babysitter who's client looked like Charlie and she just played Charlie for money. I loved the one liners throughout the episode, including pharmacist Russell and even Jake. This show always make me laugh. They always push the line in comedy and I love it. The ending with all the delivery people looking like Jake was priceless.
Gossip Girl- The most shocking part of the episode was that The Duchess is having an affair with her stepson. And I hated that Blair made arrangements and didn't tell Vanessa so the plans blew up. And seriously Dan and the new girl? I mean I know all the relationships can not be perfect or we would stop watching. And then how Blair tries to be a good friend and ruin the new girl. Only to learn the new girl was hired by Chuck. It is a twisted web that we are all stuck in because we turn in every week to see how it's gonna play out.
Not happy with the way they are trying to play Serena as the new head of Evil over Blair. You can see the areas where Serena still is good, but then she tries to out do Blair and be evil. I liked Serena being nice and with Dan. The mean evil bitch doesn't suit her. Blair played the mean evil bitch quite nicely. Serena will never win Dan back if she maintains her mean streak.
I am intrigued to figure out how Jenny is going to play into this season, because she is back to being nice, and not part of that whole mean Blaired headed group. Which I think better suits her, but no clue where she is going to fit in. I can already see us, viewing her struggles as she tries to reclaim her life and her good nature.
I can also see that the adults on the cast are going to play a major part this season. There is something up with Bart and Lily, seeing as Lily is drawn to Rufus again. And now that Dan and Serena are over, who knows how that will play out. Eleanor will be around this season too playing favorites to Serena over her own daughter Blair. So it'll be interesting to see how they blend the teen and adult story lines.
One Tree Hill- Last season when OTH skipped ahead four and a half years, a lot of people were skeptic. However, I think it was the best thing this show could have ever done. This show is so well written. One of my favorites in the long week of TV watching. I have to admit I was utterly shocked when Quention was killed. I know that was last week's episode and not this week, but I want to revist both episodes, since this week's was the aftermath. I cried like a baby during last week's episode and I had known Quention was going to be killed. I have a guilty habit of reading spoliers and I couldn't stop from reading OTH's. I have stopped reading them, but it just goees to show how powerful the episode was seeing as I knew and still cried like a baby.
The narrative spoken during last week's episode from new student Samantha Walker, was in one word Amazing. It was so well written, and so heart felt. That narrative truly drove the whole episode, talking about a great boy who never had a chance to become a man. And how she was jealous of the people that knew him because of all that she has learned about him in the days after his death. This new teen seems to be a troubled and in need of a friend, but is not willing to accept it. I really felt for her.
I liked how they remembered the roots of the OTH and mentioned in it how the now adults of the show once dealt with the death of a fellow student. The were recalling the school shooting episode and losing friend and fellow student Jimmy. It was big for Lucas to mention it, seeing as how hard it was for him losing Keith. It was a good tie in to show that all the adults in the series could relate to the teens.
The show also stepped into something new with showing a small child dealing with the death of a friend. His friend may have been older by a decade and a half, but he was a friend. I am interested to see how Jamie works through this.
We also saw Deb admitting her relationship with Skills, because he needed her in a time of need at the funeral and she didn't care that Nathan saw. This tied into this week's episode and Nathan firing Deb as Nanny and ultimately as Mom. And as much as Deb has put Nathan through, she shows she will give up her happiness just to make Nathan happy. I never thought that Skills really liked Deb, thought it was purely sexual, until I saw Skills face when Deb ended things. So I was happy when Nathan "gave permission" to Deb to be with Skills.
Carrie is crazy as hell, and as much as Dan has done he does not deserve this treatment. It was nice to finally see why Carrie is crazy and wants Jamie. She must have lost a son and now wants to replace him with Jamie. It is still creepy as hell though, and I can see that blowing up hardcore this season.
I really think that this Mick Wolf guy is Peyton's real dad. Whenever she mentions that she hopes that he is, he never answers. And he did know Ellie. When Mia told Peyton originally someone knew Ellie on tour, I always thought it was Peyton's real dad.
Brooke is going through hell. I can't believe she actually was willing to give up Clothes Over Bros. I mean Clothes Over Bros started in high school and she saw it from the ground up. It was a sad story, Victoria telling her she wanted a company and never wanted a daughter. So Brooke gave her the company and disowned her. So sad! I am eager to see if she really gave over the company and if so what will happen to her.
I have to admit here for the blogging world to see, I have always been a Lucas and Peyton fan. So I am utterly happy they are together, but we never really see them together. When you are engaged to be married, you spend time together. Especially when they just went through what they went through.
Q's mom talking to the team was priceless, she is played as such a strong woman. Any woman that can make a speech like that to a team in pain, as she is grieving the loss of her son, is strong. I loved how Lucas played with 4 players on the court, and the short conversation with the ref; Ref "Coach, I can't let you play 4 unless the rest your players are hurt" Lucas "All my players are hurt that is why we are playing with 4" Ref "Let's Play Ball". I mean it was one of the most moving scenes. Knowing full well they are going to lose the game, but playing down a player because they are healing and mourning the loss of a great friend and player. And the strength of the team saying to Lucas after the game that they want to play with 4 the rest of the season. It shows that they were not only a team but a family. And they are respecting a fallen brother.
Like I said this show is very well written, and the plot line is moving along into this adult world. I have to admit I was a skeptic too when they jumped ahead years. I knew it was either going to be the new blood they needed or the death. And it was the new blood, because I can barely wait a week to see the next episode.
Worst Week-So this show has a hilarious plot line. I love the idea that no matter what Sam does it turns out worse than he intended. I seriously laughed the whole time. I fear there is only so far this show can go before we all stop tuning in. It is funny for everything to go wrong for so long. After awhile we are gonna be able to predict it. It's no longer going to be funny. So for the time being I give it two thumbs up and look forward to see how they unfold this one.
My other Sunday and Monday shows have not premiered yet. And I will be back to finish the rest of premiere week. So stay tuned...

A Little 411 and Fall Schedule
Some people choose hobbies such a knitting or golf; I on the other hand have chosen television. My love of television has begun to grow into a love of movies as well. Actually, I think the best way to describe my hobby, it is entertainment. While I will use this outlet for mostly television, I can not promise that a movie blog or even a celebrity news blog won't slip in from time to time. I will attempt though to keep it to television as best I can though.
Growing up I watched TV all the damn time, and have watched shows far beyond my years as I grew up. As a kid I watched Days of Our Lives, M*A*S*H, Eight is Enough, Golden Girls, Gilligan's Island, I Dream of Jeanie, I Love Lucy...and well the list goes on. Those are just the shows that filled in the afternoons after I came home from school and through dinner. I also watched TV at night with my family. The shows that stick out in my mind are shows like: Rescue 911, 90210, Fresh Prince, Baywatch, Alf. Oh man and the days of T.G.I.F. on ABC, Webster, Growing Pains, Mr. Belvedere. Full House, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, Step by Step, Boy Meets World, Sabrina the Teenage Witch...and the many shows that started and never stayed. Sitting here I can remember those Friday nights. Then making sure to get to bed so I could be up early the next morning for Saved by the Bell, Pee Wee's Playhouse, Hang Time, California Dreams, City Guys.
I wish I could remember the names of all the shows I used to watch, but this is all I can remember off the top of my head. So solely from this, you can already see I watched a lot of TV growing up, and that is no where near a full list. Now I do not want to hear comments that this was poor parenting. While yes I watched a lot of TV, I was also outside riding my bike and playing in the yard. And no I am not a large couch potato who has no friends and no job. Like I said when I started this entry off, this is just my hobby. Would it be awesome to be able to watch TV for my job, yes it would. I mean how many golfers are out there, who are saying man I wish I was Tiger Woods...Hmmm...A LOT!
However, since I have not found a job in the listing, seeking an avid TV watcher, it is just a hobby. I spend a good hunk of my week watching TV, but I am ever so grateful for the invention of a DVR, and yes I still also use a VCR if I need to record 3 things, and will not be home. Which I have to admit, it is a large improvement; I used to let the TV rule my life.
So without further ado, here is my schedule for the Fall...
Sunday
Army Wives
Desperate Housewives
The Unit *
Monday
How I Met Your Mother

Two and a Half Men
Gossip Girl

Wednesday

Gary Unmarried *
Lipstick Jungle
Pushing Daisies
Private Practice
Real World/Road Rules Challenge
Thursday
Hole in the Wall
Kitchen Nightmares
Ugly Betty
Grey's Anatomy
Kath and Kim *
Life on Mars *
Eleventh Hour *
ER (only because it is the final season)
Friday
Wife Swap
Ghost Whisper
The Game
Super Nanny
The Ex List *
* new show that I have either started watching and not sure about or a new show that I would like to try.
Well this is my list thus far for the fall season, we'll see how it goes as the season continues. In addition to that TV I do watch repeats and all that jazz. And I am super psyched about Fox Reality Awards! I am addicted to reality TV! Well check back for my views and opinions about the shows I love. Now if you don't see an update about a show you watch, be patient; like I said I have not found a job where I am getting paid to watch TV, so there are times when I do not watch a show until the following day or even a couple days later. NCIS is a good example, I watch it On Demand...so I can not watch it until Wednesday even though it is on Tuesday.
I will write again later or tomorrow after my 2008 Fall Season Love Affair begins in full swing tonight.
Growing up I watched TV all the damn time, and have watched shows far beyond my years as I grew up. As a kid I watched Days of Our Lives, M*A*S*H, Eight is Enough, Golden Girls, Gilligan's Island, I Dream of Jeanie, I Love Lucy...and well the list goes on. Those are just the shows that filled in the afternoons after I came home from school and through dinner. I also watched TV at night with my family. The shows that stick out in my mind are shows like: Rescue 911, 90210, Fresh Prince, Baywatch, Alf. Oh man and the days of T.G.I.F. on ABC, Webster, Growing Pains, Mr. Belvedere. Full House, Family Matters, Dinosaurs, Step by Step, Boy Meets World, Sabrina the Teenage Witch...and the many shows that started and never stayed. Sitting here I can remember those Friday nights. Then making sure to get to bed so I could be up early the next morning for Saved by the Bell, Pee Wee's Playhouse, Hang Time, California Dreams, City Guys.
