So I probably have no faithful readers, and I do not blame you...I barely write in here. However, the plan is for that to change. Most shows are starting to go on hiatus, so I have time to catch up for the second half of the season. Unfortunately, I do not watch all the shows I used to. I have moved and do not have the DVR any more. So I rely on what I can catch on live TV or online. Sadly, we are not to the stage where all the shows are then showed online. It is very sad for me...I miss Big Bang Theory most out of all the shows I've had to chop of the list.
So my plan is while the shows are on hiatus, I will recap the seasons and give my opinions and all that jazz. Hopefully come January, I will be back in an apartment of my own and be able to be back on my normal TV schedule. Monday's after today, I'm not sure what I will be able to watch. It's been Dancing with the Stars thus far, and today is it. I'm on the Kelly fan team. I love Kelly Osbourne, I remember the train wreck that she was on the MTV series, and she looks amazing now. Good for her to finally get her life in order. Tuesday are dedicated to Biggest Loser, I absolutely love that show. And of course one of my top two picks of best new shows on TV this Fall, The Good Wife. Wednesday there isn't much I watch, mainly just Law and Order: SVU, and then of course the reality lover in me, watches the Ruins on MTV. Thursday is my favorite day, because I get to catch up on One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl online, and then watch FlashForward (my other pick for best new show on TV this fall), Grey's Anatomy, and Private Practice. Friday I watch Ghost Whisper when I can and Ugly Betty. Sunday's are Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Desperate Housewives.
On top of those, I try to catch the WE Wedding shows on Sundays. TLC has a new Wedding show about Vegas, which is pretty good. Also, I try to catch For the Love of Ray J, Tough Love, Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew. The shows that are like a train wreck you just have to watch. Also with working evening, I have been watching a good bit of daytime TV as well. I love the View when I can catch it, Rachael Ray, sometime Dr. Phil (not his biggest fan) and then Oprah.
So now onto my two favorite new shows of the season:
The Good Wife: So the cast is just amazing, Julianna Margulies is just phenomenal in this show. She waited for the right part post-ER. I could not imagine any other actress playing this role. She is feisty yet classy, LOVE it. Chris Noth was a great casting as well for the jailed former State's Attorney in the middle of a public sex scandal. Graham Phillips was casted as their son, and I have never seen him in anything else, he has a small acting resume previous to this role. However, I think he is just great. The storyline with him trying to be the man of the house and protect his mother since his father is away in prison, it's just perfection. I sound like I am just raving about this show and that it could do no wrong, but honestly so far so good. I am hooked, and have gotten a few others hooked to it as well. The writing just amazing, and the acting goes it justice. The only thing is I hope it doesn't get too predictable. So far, Alicia Florrick (Margulies) comes in like a superhero lawyer. She gets the case and makes it swing in her way. The last episode had me guessing a little, so kudos for that. I just hope that it's not every week that Alicia is succeeding and doing no wrong, that can make for boring watching.
FlashForward: This is so not a show I would normally be into. It's to me looks like the network's Lost replacement, since Lost is heading into its final season. The network needed a show that people were always talking about, and trying to figure it out. I never got into the Lost Craze, but I am definitely head first into this FlashForward Craze. Trying to figure out who, what, where, how? And honestly I am no further in figuring it out today as I was after the first episode. I find myself not only watching the airing on Thursday night on TV, but watching it again online because I want to see if I missed something. Great new show, and awesome casting. It is a very eclectic bunch, but the chemistry is definitely there.
I promise I will be updating this more. I need a good hobby like this to help as I wait for the phone to ring from possible employers. So I will be back soon to update everyone. So then I can truly be the TV Proxy, who watches TV so you don't have to.
