So this has been the week for all the TV seasons starting. Quite frankly, Fox should give themselves a good pat on the back for starting their season a couple weeks early. I tried to get into one of their new shows, "Bones." However, in the show's premiere, there's a whole thing over the fact that Bones took a piece of gum out of a trashcan to run DNA tests on. The show is all like "you needed a warrant, Bones," etc. But the thing is - she DIDN'T need a warrant. As I have learned from watching a billion years of Law and Order episodes (and my new law fav, The Closer), you don't need a warrant in that situation. So I'm out on that. Speaking of Law and Order: SVU, let's just call the season premiere, "Mariska Hargitay is not the only one who can act on this damn show!" :-D And it had the guy from the X Files, you know, Mulder's crappy replacement.
Now, I love Martha Stewart and have loved that tough bitch for YEARS. Her daytime talk show is great because it's such crap. Get this: Martha + Elmo from Sesame Street + Martha's dog, Francesca = Martha getting sort of irritated that things are going nuts, but still trying to keep her cool. :-) You know she just wanted to beat Elmo down though. Martha Stewart Apprentice? Not that into it. I'll probably get more into it once some of the losers are weeded out.
So instead of Martha's Apprentice, I watched America's Next Top Model. Okay: Twiggy is fucking hot and nice and sweet and British - and that's why this show is fucked. Now that Janice Dickinson is gone, this show has seriously become all cracked out. DIE, TYRA BANKS, DIE.
Speaking of people who need to die - between JJ Abrams and Bennifer II, Alias is just going to be terrible this year. I know I should have expected this. Hey, I even think Vaughn is a giant tool. But still - it's just sad to see something that had potential go down the tubes so fast. And making Sydney a Red Sox fan is unforgiveable. FUCK THE RED SOX. On a funnier note though, Jennifer Garner actually looked ANNOYED that she lost the Emmy for Best Female Actress in A Drama Series. Bitch, please. Just because you're having a demon spawn does not make you worthy of an Emmy. Quite frankly, she's lucky to even be nominated because there were several actresses who deserved a nomination.
For instance, Amber Tamblyn or Amy Brenneman - who thanks to CBS' incompetence, don't have nominations or shows anymore. :'-( But CBS has no problem giving J. Love Hewitt her own TV show. Seriously, WTF?
But I think NBC is the guiltiest in all of this. They hyped up the E-Ring like whoa, and I wanted to like it. I really wanted to, but I stopped watching 10 minutes in because they just kept dumbing everything down for the audience. On the other hand, they've done nothing to get people hyped for the West Wing. If NBC has decided that the show has reached its run, then they should be spending this season and last season dedicating it all to the senior staff and Bartlet. None of this election bullshit. And if they've decided to keep the show going, then they need to a) figure out who they want as President and stop with this flip flopping bullshit and b) support their goddamn show!!!!!!!!!
Either way, I'm very sad to see that "administration" come to an end. I read an article today comparing WW to Commander in Chief which premieres next week. I will watch that show because I'm a sucker for that patriotic shit, but I don't think it'll be good. I mean - Geena Davis sucks. And what annoys me most of all is that while the creator for CiC acknowledges WW, he mentions nothing of Allison Janney - who is the REAL reason Geena Davis could even try and do such a show. But apparently, in CiC, all Republicans are bastards, and so I don't think it will work. That and Aaron Sorkin is God. A god who makes me want to have orgasms because his writing is so fucking goooood.
My cat is giving me a look like he might slit my throat in my sleep. :-/
