Favorites of the Week

SO. the first week of premieres has passed as this new week brings wonderment and hope of something great. Wowsers. Here is some of my favorites of this past week in tv:

Favorite SNL monologue :

I'm sorry but I thought this was hilarious. I'm never a HUGE fan of SNL, maybe its because I haven't been able to get passed the fact that we aren't still living in the 1990s and the best and brightest (in my opinion) are long gone.

BUT: "Rachel!" "Poehler Bear!" "Dratch bear!" "No! POLAR bear!" Hilarious.

And even though I never seem to find Jimmy Fallon THAT funny (what a giggle-bitch), he somehow seems to get it together with Tina Fey to really produce comedy magic. What a great way to start the season, lets hope for big things

Favorite cold open:

omg. How could you NOT love this? I'm aware that it caused some debate, due to the fact that even though The Office goes through plenty of unrealistic situations, it does as much as it can to keep within the realism of an office setting. I mean, could an office really be able to pull off a lip dub? In this fashion?

I say, fuck yes. When Dunder Mifflin is a company in a world when its regional manager Michael Scott's contribution to a lip dub is intense magic tricks... then yes. Anythings possible.

Favorite self deprecating joke:

Yes, Cougartown. You are STILL Cougartown, you didn't change your name LIKE YOU SHOULD HAVE and have completely squashed all potential to breathe legitimate life into your show. Don't get me wrong, I still love the show and no matter what ANYONE (I'm looking at you, Perez Hilton) says, I loved Jennifer Aniston as Jules' cooky therapist.

However, as the season premiere came and went, apparently to low ratings, I'm nervous to see where the direction of the show is going to go. It seems to move so quickly, that it might just pull an OC, and just implode on its own storyline. I'm excited to see where it goes.

Favorite season premiere:

Modern Family.

Wow. I haven't laughed so hard all summer. Claire and Phil and the kids in the old station wagon just killed me. What a great way to prove your Emmy for best comedy. I'm obsessed with this show and can't wait to see it progress into an amazing series. congrats guys, you deserve it.

Other than that, on a ranting note, I just realized that I missed Dexter, Mad Men, Family Guy, AND American Dad. I think I had an aneurysm just from thinking about everything I have to catch up on. So, I will try my hardest but with my busy schedule that might be difficult.

Wish me luck as I melt my brain!

GET READY!

THE NEW FALL SEASON IS HERE.

What an exciting time. It is hitting around mid-september meaning all of our favorite shows are RETURNING with new plot lines and character hijinks.

Does everyone have their schedules ready? I DO:

Tuesday:

9:30 p.m- Running Wilde, Fox.

Wednesday:

8 P.M- Lie to Me, Fox.

9 P.M.- Modern Family, ABC.

9:30 P.M.- Cougartown, ABC.

Thursday:

8 P.M.- Community, NBC

8:30 P.M.- 30 Rock, NBC

8:30 P.M.- Shit My Dad Says, NBC.

9 P.M.- The Office, NBC.

Sunday:

9 P.M.- Family Guy, Fox.

9:30 P.M.- American Dad, Fox.

HOORAAAAY. Ok. so obviously I've got a LITTLE problem with my dream thursday night lineup. What the hell am I going to do with my 8:30 spot? Thanks NBC for taking 30 Rock out of its perfect 9:30 spot to make way for... Outsourced?

Give me a break, NBC. If I want to watch ANOTHER Office knockoff, I'll go to Parks and Rec... where is that show anyway?

And no, I'm still not going to watch Glee. I'm sorry fellow Gleeks, but its going to have to take more than two seasons to capture my attention.

BUT. What about OUTSIDE the major networks? There are still a few shows I am looking towards adding into my beautiful tv schedule:

Mad Men, AMC. Sundays at 10. Its new season started July 25th and since I JUST began watching the show, it might take me a little while to routinely watch it each week. Gotta catch up first.

Boardwalk Empire, HBO. Sundays at 9. For some reason I have a really hard time watching HBO shows as they air... so I might just have to stick to watching this one on the internet.

The Cleveland Show, Fox. Sundays at 8 30. Yeah, I'm still not sure about this one. I started watching it last season, and it was pretty decent but still has a long ways to go. Not this time, Cleveland.

THEN, of course, I get to sprinkle my week with my favorite trashy shows, such as the endings of Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, and I'm pretty sure theres going to be a new Celebrity Rehab

Gotta love that Dr. Drew.

Can't wait for tomorrow :-D

EDIT.

apparently, I can create controversial blog posts... losers.

House, Fox. Mondays at 8 p.m. Ok. After much debate with my roommate, and by debate I mean she yelled at me, I'll be watching lietome I MEAN HOUSE... House. I'll watch House.

Whatever.

Dexter, Showtime. Sundays at 9 p.m. Ok THIS show was one I actually forgot. I MUST watch this show again as it got me through my hardest times (living without cable, dvd box set, you know the drill). This can definitely substitute for Family Guy and American Dad, shows prefer to watch on Hulu anyway.

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, FX. Thursdays at 10 p.m. Yes, yes, and yes. I forgot this one too. I JUST got into this show, and I didn't watch it for the same reason I wasn't watching Glee, I didn't want to be peer pressured into it. I know, stupid.

However, all it took was a pair of kitten mittons for me to jump on board with this college humored comedy going into its sixth season. Get pumped.
