Catching up on TV...
Okay, you know Ugly Betty is in trouble when TWoP completely wipes its existence from their forums. See, even TWoP knows that Ugly Betty is made of epic FAIL for not going the Daniel/Betty route. Or even the Henry/Betty route, for pete's sake. You all know I hated Henry/Betty with a passion, but oooooh do I miss them now. That's how much I despise Ugly Betty right now. I swear, any love I had for that show is just being ripped away from me with every single spoiler news/clip/whatever. UGH! THIS SHOW! Remember in season 1 how it was such a media darling, how everyone said it was so lovely and refreshing and just what our TV lineup needed? Yeah. I miss when the show used to inspire that. Now everyone just seems embarrassed for praising the show in the first place. Ugh. This show used to be MY show. I even gave up The Office for it during season 1, that's how much I loved this show. NEVER AGAIN! *huff* Of course, when I say I "gave up" The Office, I just mean that I had to download it the next day instead of watching it as it aired. But that's a big deal. I never miss The Office. Except for during season 1 of Ugly Betty, because Ugly Betty was that awesome. Oh, I miss season 1 like whoa. It had such promise! Such epic Daniel/Betty potential! *sigh*
So, last night I chose the CBS comedies in favor of House, even though House was clearly doing an homage to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which is one of the awesomest movies of all time, so I will definitely have to catch it on Hulu. But anyway, How I Met Your Mother was so, so, so very wonderful. TED! Oh Ted, I can't believe there was ever a time when I didn't love him with my entire soul. He was definitely the highlight of the episode for me (although Marshall with his whip was pretty hilarious). Loved the Barney/Robin, too. I love this show for getting almost everything so very right. It is wonderful, and I was ridiculous for turning my nose up at it for so long. Seriously. Also, I watched that new show, Accidentally on Purpose, and it was surprisingly adorable. Not very laugh out loud funny, but... I think it has potential? Maybe? The music is good, at least it's got that going for it. But you can tell with the way it was filmed and their use of music that they were going for a HIMYM feel, and it's just... not right. But as the episode went on it actually got pretty charming, so I'll probably keep watching. Plus, it's got Ashley Jensen (Christina from Ugly Betty, Maggie from Extras) and I would have turned the channel had I not seen her, so I'm glad that even though the starting seemed corny and so not what I'd like, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it by the end. Still can't stand Two and a Half Men, ugh. Big Bang Theory was pretty hilarious, especially Raj and Howard. OH GOD, HOWARD! Is it bad that I was totally turned on by him in the red cowboy hat? Probably, but... oh god, it was sexy in his weird way. Apparently all it takes to make me want to do a guy is a cowboy hat. But anyway, this episode just made me ship Raj/Howard in a more serious manner. Oh, those two. I love them. And Sheldon was awesome as always. The Penny/Leonard stuff is still the weakest part of the show, unfortunately. I much prefer the group dynamics when they all are just friends, and Penny is the unattainable hot girl that Leonard has given up on. Why did they have to bring romance back into it? Ugh. This show is pretty awful at romance. But anyway, I enjoyed the episode as a whole. But How I Met Your Mother was definitely the MVP of the CBS comedies last night.
So, dilemma. Modern Family is going to be coming on at the same time as Glee. WHAT IS A GIRL TO DO? I saw the Modern Family pilot on the internet a few weeks ago, and it was freaking BRILLIANT. So absolutely hilarious and kind of a whole lot better than Glee. But Glee brings me such joy! And if I don't watch Glee as it airs, I will probably never keep up with it, whereas I will probably faithfully watch Modern Family any way I can. But... but... Modern Family! I love it. I don't know. Since I already saw the first ep, I don't have to choose between the two this week, but next week... I just don't know. Bahumbug! Why do the stations insist on putting all the good shows on at the same time? WHY? I watch nothing in the 8-9 timeslot on Wednesdays.
I feel weird for not having any Anthony Head news, other than the fact that I'm pretty sure he was chewing gum during this radio interview. Ahahahaha, he's such a classy fellow, that Anthony Head. I love him.
