Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Rookie Blue! This show seriously cheered me up, and I've only watched two of the four episodes! My mom didn't DVR this one for whatever reason failfailfail I depend on her to record all new shows, and she skipped it! and I kept looking at the commercials going, hey, this looks a lot like Grey's Anatomy.
So I had to go into the free TV to watch Rizzoli and Isles because mom missed recording that but saw it and claimed I'd like it- serial killers and Boston, man, what's not to like? Although, have to say, I was not super impressed with that show- I didn't hate it or anything, and I'll probably keep watching, but I didn't love it to bits like like like ROOKIE BLUE.
Because it was like Grey's Anatomy, it was. Replace five medical interns with five rookie cops, insert a delish homicide detective, a very very very hot trainer/detective, and a weirdly hot but kind of deformed looking undercover cop and you have a recipe for fake-Grey's. But it's still just as good, I mean, obviously, that was a recipe that works. They even have a bar they go to, just like Joe's! And okay, Andy is not insta-friends with a Christina like character and there is no dark and twisty looming in the distance (that I can see?), but she is a legacy, and there is a super bitchy Izzy-like character who is actually a lot hotter than I ever thought Katherine Heigl was- I never really liked her face much.
Every time I talk about Grey's Anatomy I think about the South Park/Jonas Brothers episode and feel vague shame, but then I remember the syphilis episode and feel all better.
PLUS OKAY GUYS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA IS NO LONGER ON THE AIR I NEED SOMETHING TO MAKE ME FEEL COMPLETE
Can you tell my medication has really kicked in?
