What's on TV?

-
Happy New Year peoples! Hope each and everyone of you had a wonderful new year's day filled with new year resolutions that you will be breaking soon enough. 

Soo..What's on TV?

How many times have I heard this question and thought about this question since TV shows went on thanksgiving/christmas hiatus? There really is nothing to watch on TV, especially since the new fall shows were such a dissapointment. The only new show that I managed to try and watch  was Leverage (yeah the pilot episode was called The Nigerian Job) but it was a Meh for me.(my favorite blog reader, see I mentioned Leverage..hehehehe).

On the bright side, three awesome shows will be coming back for a new season, one of them being my favorite show. Here we go:

Nip/Tuck: Yay! my favorite dysfunctional tv show is bizzack on Jan 6 on FX channel.
Lost : my favorite what the hell is going on? show is bizzack on Jan 21 on ABC.
Scrubs : The best comedy that you are not watching is moving from NBC to ABC for its final season on Jan 6.

Off the top of my head also if you are still interested the Real World - Brooklyn a new season is coming up. based on previews though, it looks hella dry. Did I forget any new shows, feel free to remind me?

PS Update on my movie watching spree:

The Wrestler : very touching and heartfelt performance by Mickey Rourke, don't understand what special acting Marisa Tomei did sha. I felt it had a sucky ending. recommended for dvd.

Doubt: You get exactly what you would expect from a cast with Amy Adams, Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Superb performances by all. Reminded me a little of 'Notes on a Scandal'(go see if you haven't), everything was fine till the end. and to prevent spoilers I shall leave it at that.

Frost/Nixon: Very well done. Kudos to Frank Langella and Michael Sheen. 

Ok I am done, have a wonderful year!


I forgot..RIP to Jett Travolta, the 16 year old son of John Travolta and Kelly Prestoon, who died from a seizure while the family was on vacation in Bahamas. Such a horrible way to start the new year :(

PSS - As you may have noticed from the comments,I left out Damages, which I tried to watch but couldn't get into. It premieres on FX on Wed Jan 8. I have to say I do like the previews for the season premiere and not because it features my favorite song from Duffy's Rockferry album.:D

I started watching Leverage. I tried to like it. I couldn't. So I quit that.

I'm just excited that several of my favorite shows are coming back, even if most of them are in their final run: Battlestar Galactica (last season), Friday Night Lights (probably last season), Scrubs (probably last season). Then there's my guilty pleasure, The Closer. And the second half of The Office. My DVR will be getting a workout.

Pick me, Choose me, Love me....then Discuss

Before I post the topic of discussion, I have to preface it by saying that even though Grey's Anatomy is shit now, there was once a time it was a really good show. Ok, maybe shit is harsh but it definitely has more down than up episodes. Anyways, I really despised Meredith, my best friend never quite got why I couldn't stand her, she thought I would be able to relate to her (oh dear god, yuck!). I vividly remember that episode, when Derek was torn between Addison and herself and she told him: "okay, here it is, your choice... it's simple, her or me, and I'm sure she is really great. but, I love you, in a really, really big pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake,hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. so pick me, choose me, love me". Dear God, I cringed. I remember feeling so embarassed for Meredith. I remember wondering what kind of woman loses her pride and...

I am in class all bored and stuff with A LOT of stuff on my mind, sigh. I have done blog rounds and visited a lot of bloggers for the first time, so I decided to just write out some stuff I can share. - Are there people out there who don't suffer from procrastination? I need to get on whatever it is they are on. It's like I know what I need to be doing and should be doing but I just don't, it's the most amazing and infuriating thing. - So you know the stereotype of how most Asians are small and skinny. When I see a fat one, I usually wonder how they feel and if they feel like they have failed their race. Oh yea, Fat Asians make me uncomfortable (It's my random, sue me) - I used to LOVE the show, Friends. I still love it, actually it's my favorite comedy and second favorite show (behind Six Feet Under). Never missed an episode when it was on. I had the soundtrack cd to the show, I'd watch the reruns like I hadn't seen it ten million times, I'd say th...
