Seriously!
Grey's Anatomy just went from Thanksgiving to Christmas to New Years Day just to advance a storyline in one episode.
Granted the Ghost Whisperer did the same in the season premiere by moving the storyline forward by 5 years.
Best shows on TV:
Glee - has kept the characters well grounded and the singing has been excellent.
Dexter - Great and complicated.
Californication - They brought in Rick Springfield, need I say more.
James Franco is doing a soap?

Grey's Anatomy: Band Aid Covers The Bullet Hole
Dr. Grey grudgingly says sorry to Dr. O'Malley who went all SWF to his hair.
Dr. O'Malley and Dr. Burke get closer to the ire of Dr. Yang.
Dr. McDreamy admits he's been a dick to his wife.
I've been watching all the shows some of the best this week were; King Of Queens, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, My Name Is Earl and Battlestar Galatica.
I also saw Crash...I mean Oscar winning Crash. First thing that comes to mind is that Sandra Bullock is barely in the movie but she gets top billing. Don Cheadle and Ludacris carry the movie along with Matt Dillon and Ryan Phillipe. The best scenes involve the Latino family.
Overall it's a very good movie the DVD bonuses suck but I don't care about the extras.
First off tomorrow is Single Awareness Day also known as Valentine's Day for couples. If you get some good for you.
Now I've been doing a 9 to 5, 5-day a week class schedule so here are my late reviews.
Surface: Episode 15
The season finale, maybe series finale, picks up with Rich being detained at Iderex(secret creepy lab) where he sees an image of Jackson on a computer screen that says "Sector 1019 Chief", whoa Jackson was working with Iderex.
Meanwhile Miles and family are preaparing to leave while his girlfriend is sent ahead alone. The family makes it to the ferry but the girlfriend gets scooter robbed and knocked out close to Miles' home.
Rich manages not to get killed and uses a cell phone to make his goodbyes.
Miles realizes that his girl is in trouble and jumps ship to find her. At his home he finds his girl and they watch the devastion in Puerto Rico. On th TV they see giant creatures that look like floating debris in the water when suddenly one of them eats the reporter. They know the tsunami is about to hit and drive away.
Laura rescues Rich and the duo make there way to the streets and flag down a car driven by Miles.
Finally all the main characters meet.
Rich takes over driving and the him and Laura meet Nim, there is only time for a quick explanation because the car goes dead as the wave breaks shore. They all run to a church and go up to the steeple as the water rises and medium size sea monsters are looking for human-snacks.
Laura then comments "It's a new world." while looking over a flooded city.
Great show bring it back for a second season!
Scrubs: My Buddy's Booty/Cabbage
Getting a bit cartoonish but having Sarah Chalke and Mandy Moore making out was cool.
Drawn Together
Sick show and cool moments making fun of other cartoons.
Grey's Anatomy: As We Know It
The conclusion from last week when EMT Hannah stuck her hand in a chest to stop the bleeding then panicked and ran away causes Dr. Grey too stupidly stick her hand for the same weak reason. Oh yeah at the same time there is bazooka shell in the man's chest.
Dr. Grey does pull it out and hand it to bomb squad guy(Kyle Chandler of Early Edition fame) when he suddenly blows up into blue mist.
A strike is looming for the NYC transit workers. This will happen right before finals and I still haven't gone Christmas shopping and I still haven't got my classes registered for next semester.
So instead of a getting a plan together or calling my guidance counselor I'll just watch some TV.
The Simpsons: The Italian Bob
Homer goes to Italy to pick up a car for Mr. Burns. He gets into trouble and meets Mayor Sideshow Bob and his new family. Lisa proceeds to ruin his new life and the whole Bob family seeks revenge vendetta.
While in Italy a criminal book was shown and had Peter Griffin of Family Guy with the title Plagarismo and then Stan Smith of American Dad with the title Plagarismo et Plagarismo.
Quote of the Show: "You're the best husband and son I ever had." from Cletus' wife to Cletus.
Grey's Anatomy: Grandma got Runover by a Reindeer
Dr. Izzie is still upset from getting cheated on and then losing a newborn patient last week. So she deals by decorating the house like crazy.
Dr. Bailey is uber-pregnant and going throughall kinds of problems yet she is still the go to surgeon.
Dr. Karev needs help and gets it from everyone even Izzie.
Dr. Yang has no seasonal spirit and annouces to her man she's Jewish. She says that because her step-dad is Jewish but she does not celebrate or believe in anything. Dr. Burke tries to give her faith and gets a tree and a menorah, but she is still reluctant.
Great and funny episode, I need Izzie to decorate over here she does a great job.
Arrested Development: Prison Break-In
An obvious shot at Prison Break has a fund raising party at a prison. Tobias wants to be called T-Bag, George Bluth II gets a "tattoo" of the prison on his stomach. James Lipton of Inside the Actors Studio plays the warden. Funny episode.
Quote of the Show: "I want to cry so bad , but I can not afford the moisture." Mrs. Bluth.
Real World/ Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet II
Jo calls the cops and gets escorted out with little explanation. The veterans lose and sends the captain home and Derek is the new captain. Less drama today.
BREAKING NEWS
The Night Stalker got picked up the SciFi Channel for next summer.
Starting with those free TiVo exclusive downloads. I got the first two Cnet downloads straight to TiVo called Tech Tips and Reviews. They are just a review of products like digital cameras and mp3 players with a couple of simple tips. They are usually less then 15 minutes and more or less useless. Just go to Cnet.com to get a more in depth review. Next was the TiVo Video Down Load Trial of Red trousers: The Life of the Hong Kong Stuntmen. My word that was the most boring documentary of stuntmen I ever had to fast forward through. Unless they improve the quality of the downloads it’s best to stay away.
Grey’s Anatomy: Much Too Much
Everyone is sexing each other except for Dr. “Izzie” and Dr. Karev. Dr. Karev can’t perform with his better half so he ends up doing a lower nurse who he once shared an STD with.
Meanwhile Dr. Grey’s one night stand ends up standing up all day long. He has a permanent woody that is caused by a tumor but everyone finds out that that Dr. Grey was the one who broke is manhood.
Charmed: Vaya Con Leos
Death has come for Leo and the Charmed ones must freeze Leo and fight a finally ultimate battle to save him on some future episode. A nice emotional episode.
Ghost Whisperer: Ghost Bride
Typical silly episode but one thing did stand out, when Andrea tells Melinda that this ghost seems strong Melinda says, “There is definitely something going on up there, they’re getting stronger.” This is where the show is going. Something has changed in the ghost world and Melinda must be the key or figure out what is happening.
If you watch TV you'll never know.
Supernatural: The Journey Home
Finally saw this episode and I must say it was the best all season. The brothers go back to their childhood house and help a family with some ghosts. We see their dead mom and she helps with the ghost busting. Also a psychic name Missouri who is actually quite good is keeping the father secret from the brothers.
Finally the got rid of the lost father storyline, instead he is running from his kids until he can work out his problems. The shows getting better.
Desperate Housewives: The Sun Won’t Set
The engagement is off and the bad guy is caught. Gabrielle grieves her baby with the help of actor Danny Trejo.
Grey’s Anatomy: Thanks For The Memories
Dr. “Nazi” Bailey is getting demeaned by some part-timer. Dr. O’Malley goes hunting turkey with his family. Joe the bartender is invited to the Thanksgiving Day festivities and brings a pie and his Asian boyfriend but no liquor. Dr. Grey is at work sulking and whining again, I must accept that this is who she is. Dr. Webber failed the boards medical exam. A guy wakes up from a 16 year coma and is fine and dandy, cough…bad medicine…cough, except that his family moved on without him.
I’m very disappointed that only one show has a Thanksgiving episode, holidays are disappearing from TV thanks to the idiotic sensitivity groups, also I noticed that in Lost not one holiday as been celebrated or mentioned.
Congrats to the Giants still tied for first, but I’ll miss Herman Edwards because the Jets suck, injuries not withstanding.
First in TV news the Aquaman guest appearance on Smallville was so popular that a pilot has been ordered. I’m not completely excited because I remember the crap that Birds Of Prey was on the WB.
Also I learned while Oprah was on a date with Roger Ebert, twenty years ago, he basically guided her into the career she has now.
Just checked my TiVo and now they are offering a six week subscription to CNET Download Product Reviews. A 15-minute video of reviews of tech products for broadband customers. Let's see if this screws up my computer like most TiVo downloads does. I love my TiVo and I like my computer but the two of them don't seem to get along well.
Desperate Housewives: Color and Light
Blah, blah, blah…sleeping with exes…blah, blah, blah…creepy actor Page Kennedy’s last episode…blah, blah, blah…ridiculous marriage proposal…blah, blah, blah.
Grey’s Anatomy: Let It Be
Great episode. A woman comes in with a gene that may lead to cancer and wants all of her woman parts removed as a preemptive strike. Once again the medical side of the show is a little on the soft side but the drama is strong.
Dr. Grey is still whining pining over “McDreamy”(their word not mine). George avoided a near death experience and tries to help a suicidal patient but fails. Cristina and Burke have an awkward date, and Bailey is pregnant.
One reason I like this show is that half of the characters are people of color and all of them have rich and deep storylines, unlike ER that still can’t right a storyline for a black character without making them angry.
Rome: The Spoils
Pullo gets into deep problems after becoming an assassin but in a gory and violently cool scene resurrects his spirit and his friendship. Meanwhile Brutus has a choice to make with Caeser…hmm I wonder what he’ll do.
Veronica Mars: Rat Saw God
Joss Whedon made a small appearance in this episode as a rental-car agency manager. Also Harry Hamelin was back talking to his son in prison who was rearrested for the murder of some Mexican. The pieces of the bus crash and Veronica’s life seemed to be intertwined. Also we learned noting new about Wallace.
The “Rat Saw God” title has to do with a rat that Mr. Mars found taped to the bottom of the seat in the school bus after it was pulled from the water.
I miss Extras that was a funny show with a great last episode.
Remember Vote today, Bloomberg for Mayor, No on Prop.1 & Yes on Prop.2. For all other seats vote for a good mixture of Democrats and Republican just to balance everything out maybe a Green party member but not Independent.
Election Day 2005.
Surface: Episode 7
Great episode it began with a plane in trouble about to crash because of massive power failure. As we see the plane plunging towards the ocean the clouds open up and a herd of giant see monster are swimming along causing green lightning to shoot around them. It was an incredible shot.
We also learn that the government has known of these creatures for 4 years. They are trying to assess the threat but a secret group has derailed the government plan and are responible for the Docs murder.
Miles sets his sea monster free after a police chase.
The plant found along with the monster was found to be feeding off electricity, could this be a weapon against the monster who generate electricity. Remember it was found with the dead monster, could that be what killed it.
Best written show this season, someone please raise the production budget.
Prison Break: Sleight of Hand
Scofield puts a plan in motion to take back control of a prison section and help an innocent man.
Now these parts are a bit stupid...first he has to have a woman's phone number tattoed on his arm because he can't remember one phone number.
Second he puts three mafia guys in prison and isn't dead the next day.
Third the Vice-President notice her sweepers aren't doing good so she hires another sweeper to fix everything and he is good at his job but doesn't kill everyone fast enough.
Grey's Anatomy: Something to Talk About
Brilliant and funny episode.
A pregnant man, a woman whose heart bursted into flames during surgery and lives, the doctors relationships are defined and Dr. Grey whines some more before getting half a backbone.
I have to watch Rome, Arrested Development, Charmed, Family Guy and American Dad but that's going to have to wait.
I've more or less given up on Desperate Housewives, That 70's Show, King of Queens, How I Met Your Mother and some others.
Surface: Episode 4
Miles little pet is now dog-gone hungry and all his friends know.
Rich has gone mad but takes a dip where he lost his brother and finally calms down, even after losing his job and his family for know. Although he everyone thinks he's crazy one of his weird drawings turns out to be something that really exists. So the question is how is he getting hints from his dead brother?
Laura is still struggling with money but she gets and old friend to try to tag on of the monsters. The find a pod of dead Humpback whales and she gets to GPS-tag one monster. They had a mini-marathon today on Sci-Fi, got to rewatch the first episode it is even better the second time around.
Grey's Anatomy: Make Me Lose Control
No abortion but a miscarriage, how convenient. This show is as close to a soap opera that a show can get. Grey's mother is admitted with a benign liver tumor and the whole hospital finds out how far she has fallen from her top doc position.
Gilmore Girls: We've Got Magic To Do
Those evil Huntzbergers are at Rory's party and once again Rory is wussing out, again. Grandma Gilmore is suspicious of Rory's activities. Grandma ripped into Mrs. Huntzberger after finding out the truth, it's a shame they didn't get into a smackdown.
Love Inc: Pilot
This was the show Shannon Doherty was fired from before it began. Holly Robinson Peete plays the boss of a Love Inc. a dating service. The show is nice better than I thought but only if nothing else is on.
I can’t accurately judge this show because the commercial gave away the entire episode, but one thing I found bad was at the end when she sees a family of dead people it looks interesting but when they previewed next weeks episode it was a different storyline. I guess they don’t follow up from week to week. This non-follow-up is a sign of bad writing.
Desperate Housewives: Next
It’s a comedy for women, no biggie.
Grey’s Anatomy: Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
They continue from last season with all the sex and inter-office pregnancies and disease swapping. They even were doing some procedures from House. This is a drama with some comedy put in.
