Some Thoughts On TV

Hey, I can write about TV again! Where do I begin???

These are my most immediate thoughts off the top of my head:
• Celebrity Apprentice is brilliant. One of the funniest shows on TV.
• 30 Rock, however, is THE funniest show on TV.
• Big Brother 9 is great, and people have to stop complaining about the cast being trashy. So what? It’s awesome!
• Survivor: China was one of the best seasons EVER.
• James is one of my favorite Survivor players ever.
• Fans vs. Favorites is finally starting to get good, thanks to Cirie.
• Miss Jay from ANTM is simply not funny. All he does is make tooting noises and roll his eyes.
• Josh from Big Brother 9 is horrendous.
• Crazy James from Big Brother 9 has yet live up to the “crazy” part of his name. That is, unless, if his definition of craziness involves long stretches of silence.
• Dick Donato was one of the worst reality stars ever. Rockers don’t wear Mom Jeans.
• Amber was an amazing train wreck to watch.
• Heather should have won the last cycle of ANTM.
• I really, really hope that 24 gets back into its groove.
• I don’t get Ugly Betty.
• I’m still reeling from Amanda Overmeyer’s outfit from the second week of semi-finals on Idol.
• That kid who lived in his car and almost made it to the top twenty-four deserved to go home. He was awful, and I hardly had any sympathy for him, being that it was his choice to live in his car.
• Melinda Doolittle wuz robbed! (But I really like Jordin Sparks’ new song)
• The UPS Whiteboard guy is still awful.
• Saleisha is a joke. Total conspiracy theory going on there. Plus, her hair looked like Joyce DeWitt circa 1977.
• Fatima should be the next winner of ANTM.
• I still laugh at the entire idea of “Whittell.” This is why more Dartmouth girls don’t go into modeling.
• I don’t mean to be callous, but Jaslene talks like she’s deaf. Forcing her to say “Wet Slick Fruit Spritzer” was an exercise in cruelty.
• Gossip Girl is amazing, and everyone should watch it. I think it’s better than The O.C.. Yeah. I said it.
• The character of Dan Humphrey on Gossip Girl kind of sucks though. The writers need to make him less of a douche.
• At long last, I have become a fan of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Funny story: I flew on a plane with Vicky to Paris. Unfortunately, it was before I came to love the show; so I wasn’t able to fully appreciate the experience.
• I love that on The Real Housewives of New York City, there’s a countess named LuAnn. She should be saying “Toots” more.
• I’m very excited for the continuation of The Hills.
• If I had to choose between Piers or Omarosa, I pick Omarosa. Piers is AWFUL.
• I have to admit that House, M.D. might be my favorite drama on TV these days. The whole story line about whittling down his newbies was brilliant.
• The episode of Survivor: China when Jaime played the fake immunity idol was one of the best episodes EVER.
• The last two seasons of The Amazing Race have been really great. Although, I must admit, I can’t remember who the hell won this last season. I know it wasn’t Ron and Christina… and I know it wasn’t Nick and his grandfather… I JUST CAN’T REMEMBER.
• Oh yeah. It was TK and Rachel.
• By the way, Nate and Jen were such terrible people, but unlike other generic, awful couples from California, I loved them. I mean, they were so ridiculous, and they always got stymied. It’s like the Wile E. Coyote effect.
• I love Gail, but she should stop trying to be sexier than Padma.
• I still don’t understand how the tall guy from Top Chef was supposed to be funny.
• Top Chef’s Casey coined one of my new favorite phrases: “You’ve thrown a guilt blanket on me.”
• Danny and Melinda are still insufferable.
• Coral and Beth are like fine wines: they only get better with age.
• CT is terrible.
• Lisa Love speaking French was one of the most sublime moments on MTV ever.
• Diane Sawyer is the new mascot for morning passive-aggressiveness.
• After all the hype, Ina Garten’s new barn is kind of a let down.
• I used to watch Friday Night Lights, but then I got a little over it. Sorry, FNL fans. I know you love it.
• I’m kind of glad The Sopranos is done.
• I still haven’t seen Mad Men, but I fully intend to (especially since I know the creator. Oops!)
• I don’t get Ugly Betty.
• I saw the pilot of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I liked it but haven’t had time to work the show into my TV watching schedule. Plus, I’m still not convinced that Summer Glau is a robot. And why is it that when we first met her in that high school, she talked like a normal teen, but then when we found out that she’s a robot, she started talking all stiffly and without emotion. The least she could do would be to try some affectations. WE KNOW SHE CAN DO IT!!
• Cavemen isn’t that bad.
• I’m afraid bad things will happen if more people don’t watch the following shows: Big Brother 9, The Apprentice, Gossip Girl, and 30 Rock. SPREAD THE WORD.
Hmmm… I think that’s all I got. I’m sure there’s more, but it’s a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I need to cavort!
