2008 Review: TV
2008 Review: TV Shows
A Picspam of the 32 shows I watched and loved this past year.
30 Rock: the best comedy show on right now. Smart, geeky, pretty. Hilarious.
Ashes To Ashes: I'm not sure why I started watching this, since I never watched or really wanted to watch Life On Mars, but my flisters were talking about this and I decided to check it out. Alex/Gene is <3, and Chris and Ray and Chaz are awesome as well.
Bones: To be honest, I've been slacking off on watching this season after Angela and Hodgins broke up. But this show is always amazing and witty and interesting, so I will definately be catching up later. Also, I got S1 on DVD and it is the best thing ever.
Brothers and Sisters: Just started watching this season. I love the dynamic of all the siblings; scenes with all the brothers and sisters acting like little kids are the best. Also, there's Rob Lowe, and fantastic Sally Field, and everyone else is super pretty as well.
OMG I'M STUPID AND FORGOT ABOUT BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. INSERT THAT HERE.
Burn Notice: I just started watching this show, honestly, yesterday. That marathon on USA? Watched it and fell in love. I am, as I type this, watching the rest of S1 on Hulu. Michael/Fiona is addictive, and angstalicious.
Dead Like Me: IMO, this show is better than PD. It's snarky and profound and sad and funny and awesome.
Doctor Who: How amazing was Season 4? I mean, I liked S3 as well, but Donna/Catherine Tate actually made me really like David Tennant as the Doctor for the first time. And the last 3 episodes? Fantastic.
Gossip Girl: Of course this show is amazing. Of course, Blair/Chuck is epic in the most epic way ever. Cannot wait until this show comes back.
Grey's Anatomy: I'm watching this season for Cristina/Hunt, Mark/Lexie and Bailey. Aslo, I find it nice that MerDer are being, for the most part, not annoying.
Heroes: Was watching for Sylar/Elle, now I'm bored. Seriously, this show is really, really terrible now.
House: Amber saved this show. She was the best thing sto happen to it in awhile. Amber/Wilson was perfect until they decided to effing OFF HER. I'm kind of still watching (I might be okay with Foreman/13), but nothing will beat Amber.
How I Met Your Mother: Started watching on a whim, but Barney/Robin sucked me in. And then there was the great fandom joy that occured after "Sandcastles". It was awesome. Seriously though, there is nothing about this show I don't like.
In Plain Sight: Nobody watched this show but me, but I love it. Mary McCormack is fantastic, and Mary and Fred Weller are fantastic together. They are geart bffs/something else.
Mad Men: One of the best shows on TV. It's crazy good. Also, Peggy/Pete makes this show for me. Everyone raves about Jon Hamm, but Vincent and Elizabeth blow my mind.
Private Practice: It's not really all that good, but it's pretty. I actually do like this Violet/Pete development.
Psych: is awesome. James Roday is so often hilarious and then he filps a switch and gets really serious. So good. Dule Hill is a fantastic foil to Shawn. Juliet, Lassie, Chief Vick and Dad, all awesome.
Pushing Daisies: To be honest, I'm not in lvoe with PD. I love Olive/Kristen, and Emerson is awesome. The guest stars are gold (especially Raul Esperanza). But Chuck bugs the hell out of me and Lee Pace was 10x better on Wonderfalls than PD. I hope KChen and Lee get to move on to bigger and better things.
Reaper: funny, snarky and a lot more than I expected.
Samantha Who: 3rd funniest show (after 30R and Scrubs). Cristina Applegate is comedy gold, and I love her chemistry with Barry Watson (Todd). Jean Smart, and the other ladies are also amazing.
Scrubs: so funny, so meta. They had a musical episode; that automatically makes this show awesome. Cox, Carla, Turk, Janitor: all awesome. JD and Elliot need to get it together.
Stargates: In a word, Awesome.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: It's not always the best, but's it always fun to watch. Also, Derek/Cameron ftw.
The Daily Show: I know I'm lame, but I just started watching this recently. I didn't before because I didn't want to take the time evey day to dl an episode, but thank the stars for Hulu.
Tin Man: Loved this, but it could have been better. Neal D. was good, and so was Zooey, but I think Caroline Davernhas as DG would have just been amazing.
Torchwood: this last season was so good. Torchwood was always the grown-up sibling of DW, but this effing show made me cry this season, it was just that good. I'm done watching it, just because I think it's done waht it needs to and shouldn't be continued.
True Blood: It's not good, but it's better than Twilight. Also, the first book > the first season.
The Tudors: Another show I just started. I'm about 1/2 way through Season 1. Margaret/Brandon is my favorite, and Maria Doyle Kennedy has made me love Catherine of Aragon. Of course JRM is fantastic as well.
Ugly Betty: Um, Gio > Henry. But anyways, I still love this show. Mark and Amanda, Hilda and Justin are always awesome, and Daniel is increasingly so.
Valentine: Another show nobody but me watched, but my interest in mythology made me like it. Also, Autumn Reaser.
Wonderfalls: The best Bryan Fuller show, no doubt.
The Riches: I forgot about this show when I made my list, which is why it's not in order like the rest, because S1 > S2. But Season 2 was still okay and I will miss this show and seeing Minnie and Eddie be fantastic together.
