So much TV, so little time. Thanks to TiVo, it's manageable!

Fun Times on The WB

Gilmore Girls
Even though most people can't believe I watch this show (and I can't either most of the time), I still watch every week. I really don't care about any story line except Lorelai and Luke and Rory and Logan. Everyone else pretty much gets on my nerves and the constant banter gives me a headache. Thank goodness for TiVo though. I can watch this hour show in about 20 minutes and move on. This is a common thread TV problem for me. If I start watching a show, I somehow feel obligated to keep watching, even if I lose interest, until the show ends. Where did I pick up this habit? Why can't I just "let it go"? Who knows! I think this is what most people would call a true additction. I admit it though, I'm certainly not in denial. That's the first step right? But anyway, Rory has been acting out this year, but I'm a little annoyed by that. Who just up and quits Yale? Lorelai got engaged to Luke, but for some reason, I think she's going to chicken out and run away. Rory's boyfriend Logan is way hot and I found out that he's 29 years old in real life...so now I can really like him. So with that said...I'll continue my addiction and keep watching.

This new show is still in its "trial period" for me. With the executive producer coming from Friends and an executive consultant from Sex and The City, it at least starts off with a good base foundation. So you'd think. I think right now they are really trying to build up the characters, but I hope they really start sucking the audience in soon. I really want to like this show. It's about 4 sisters living in NYC and you see each seperate life as well as how they all twist together. It's "cute". I can give it that so far. It's only been two weeks and we're just starting to get into the juicy details of their lives, so it has potential in my book. I'll be reviewing my opinions in the next couple weeks. Here is last week's recap. These girls also better remember they're on opposite of Lost. BIG competition. Lucky for me, I feed my addiction with two TiVo boxes.

One Tree Hill
Damn technology. As much as I love it...it isn't perfect. There must have been a small glich this week with the channel changing becaue my OTH didn't record. The channel must not have changed all the way and I got some other crap on there. Boo! But here is the recap for this last week. Looks like Dan remembered what happened in the dealership fire and Haley and Nathan still haven't gotten over their tiff. I'll be sure to check on my TiVo this week. Maybe I'll set it up on both TiVo boxes if nothing conflicts. I hope they do a good recap of last week so I can get the gist of it.

Smallville
Another good episode. But when is it really not a good one? Clark of course got his powers back. But he didn't give up his powers without consequence. The deal Jor-El made with Kal-El is he will get his powers back but someone that he loves will die for it. Any guess who? I'm going to say Clark's dad. He's had heart problems and run-ins with Jor-El in the past. They wouldn't get rid of Lana or they would take out one of the best drama elements of the show. I must say, one of the best parts of last week's episode was Clark and Lana getting busted after hooking up the night before. She was definitely doing the walk of shame out of that house...and fast. Too funny. Those silly kids! After Clark got his powers back and flew up to dismantle the missle that was about to hit Smallville he was definitely depressed. I hope he comes out of it soon and really just starts to embrase who he really is. We don't always like what we're given in life, but we certainly have to make the best of it. So man-up Clark! The world needs some saving!

Supernatural
Yeah! The writing has gotten better and the corny jokes have been cut in half! I'm really starting to like this show now. It's still no Buffy, but it's a good substitute for now. I like how the stories are based on old folklore/wives tales/etc. This week's episode on Bloody Mary was a good one. Also, we find out a little more on the Jessica story. We find out that Sam had dreams about what was about to happen to Jessica right before she was murdered and he didn't tell her. So he ended up blaming himself and saying that if he warned her, she would have lived. Although somehow I doubt that. Whoever killed her definitely wanted him back in the "game" becuase of his past and/or for what his Dad and Dean have been up to. We also got a clue that their Dad is still alive. (maybe) All of a sudden he has a voice mail message on his cell phone. Good sign? Guess we'll see. Looking forward to getting more attached to this one!
