TV Guide: Dec. 26-Jan.1

Damn the year is about over, my college pushed back registration to January 16 because of the strike and I just finished all my shopping and celebrations with friends yesterday.

Oh well at least I'll have two weeks before school starts calling.

On this TV Guide cover we have TV PREVIEW 25 new show and 14 returning favorites. The 8 page article starts off with 24 which I will not read because it's full of spoilers. Lots of the new shows sound crappy. For example: The Book of Daniel stars Aidan Quinn as a drug addict minister who talks to Jesus Christ...hmmm it's a cross between House and Joan of Arcadia.
There is What About Brian in the vain of Freddie or How I Met Your Mother has Barry Watson being single with hottie Sarah Lancaster.
Scrubs is back on Tuesday January 3rd.
John Stamos and Rebecca Romijn both have shows about being single, rich and beautiful.
Beauty and The Geek 2, 'nuff said.

Good Things To Read Inside:

• Mariah Carey sings at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' 2006.
• Series Finale of Hot Properties...never saw one episode.
• The top 5 shows are on CBS and I've never seen any of them, CSI, Survivor, etc.
• Huge new behind the scenes pictures of Surface including some spoilers and a new character. January 2nd is the first new episode and there is tons of diving.
• Abby is preggers on ER because Tierney is in real life.
• Justine Bateman on Arrested Development.
• Jeers to the Jeers of the idiot who complained about Monday Night Football schedules, this is not a sitcom you can't pick the best teams and throw them up on any giving Monday.
• Joss Whedon jokes about TV.
• Soaps are getting worse with 24 episode in story commercials and Dancing tie ins.
• Some pretty pictures of the TV stars.
• In Memoriam with so many famous people who died this year.
• Their top ten holiday episodes are wrong, the have the Honeymooners and The O.C. on the same list.

Okay I would add that the best Christmas episode in recent years had to be Popular: "Fall on Your Knees" the episode had mean bitch Nicole Julian(Tammy Lynn Michaels) in her own personal version of The Christmas Carol being visited by the 4 ghost and learning a lesson for a day. It was a great epiosde and soon after the show went to hell.
