I’m telling you - this weather here is making me clincally depressed. Everything is cold and wet and gray and has been for the entire week. I miss the sun. Where did the sun go? Where did my warmth go? Where did the blue sky go? I just want to go order a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks (Skinny, please. Hold the whip.) and curl up in bed to finish watching last night’s episode of Ugly Betty. Or Stupid Ugly Craphole as MrZ called it when I dared to insult Lost - his favorite show.
But come ON. Did you see the previews for next week? The whole “DO YOU LOVE HIM???” scene - where Not-Henry-Gale was trying to get Kate to admit her love for Sawyer by torturing him? WTF? Seriously - what the hell was that about? How is that not the stupidest story line ever? And don’t you dare insult Ugly Betty, Mister. It may be cheesy and campy - but it makes me smile and I need that when I HAVEN’T SEEN THE DAMN SUN IN 12 DAYS.
We take our television very seriously in the Zoot House, you know.
Don’t even asked what happened that time I criticized Blade - The Series from this summer. MrZ loved that show and did not see the humor in my repeat exclamations of “OH. MY. GOD. How is this show still on?” It turns out that it didn’t get renewed for a second season. I would love to use that as support for my side of the That Show Sucks Donkey Balls argument except that more often than not my shows are the ones getting canceled.
(See: Arrested Development, In Justice, and Joan of Arcadia.)
I don’t take it as personally when my shows are attacked - mainly because I know how bad most of them really are. NCIS? Numb3rs? Las Vegas? CSI: NY? They are all so ridiculous with their caricature characters and their truck size plot-holes - but I can’t stop watching them. I would never recommend them to anyone, necessarily, but I still look forward to their airings every week. I won’t take it personally if anyone insults them, even MrZ.
But don’t you dare refer to Ugly Betty as Stupid Ugly Craphole again! That’s a great show - you just have crappy taste Mr. StillWatchesA-Team.
I can see it now, the divorce papers will say “Irreconcilable Differences in Television” - a divorce under the TiVo clause.
I entered this realm with my husband over Jerico, which we both adore and watch religiously. HOWEVER, he gets very upset over the things in each episode that are blatantly wrong. He is still ranting over the “lack of breathing bags” and “improper removal of an intubation” that apparently are both HORRIBLE breaches of reality (they were both in the episode with the radiated man dying after Hawkins questions him about why he “went back”). He keeps threatening to stop the recording… so I hide the remote.
I am overly emotionally involved in Grey’s Anatomy. I realize it’s dumb, I realize I am beign played, but the fury within can only be unleashed after Adam dares to make snoring noises or roll his eyes during one of my precious episodes. I go NUTS, dude, like he’s just cut off my finger. I yelled last week (uh, oh my God?) because he said out loud, “OH COME ON” at an inane portion of the storyline.
I understand this completely.
Yeah, I don’t understand why Arrested Development isn’t getting renewed. That show is awesome!
I know LadyBoyd’s husband, and YES, he does that kind of thing ALL THE TIME.
Me? Am SO into Ugly Betty it’s sad. And as weird as it sounds, I am totally emotionally invested in Doctor Who on the SciFi network. I will scream and bite anyone who tried to change the channel or speaks ill of the good Doctor. Especially my husband, who doesn’t get good british acting ANYWAY.
joan of Arcadia was SO good. I really miss it.
Hey - leave Las Vegas alone! Tthat show rocks! The one with those two old football players? John Elway, I think? was fraking sweet. Don’t feel guilty for loving the Vegas, baby!
And the worst part? They aren’t putting season 2 of Joan of Arcadia on DVD. I feel like crying myself to sleep. *tear*
OMG. I just filed divorce papers when you said that you like NCIS. I can forgive you for Numbers, since I kind of like that one, but not NCIS. I’m sorry — I’ll never forget you.
Meanwhile, something else for our husbands to bond over: Mike is obsessed with all things Blade. He stuck up valiantly for that crappy series in like a gazillion petty TV fights we had. Touche’, putty tat! I can’t wait to mock him mercilessly about its cancellation.
hmmm…your blog isn’t updating on bloglines, darn it!
I tried to watch Lost - then found out through a friend “in the biz” how the series was going to eventually end and I was like “oookaaay…not gonna waste my time on that one.”
I love Ugly Betty too, though I wish they would replace Vanessa Williams with someone who doesn’t look quite so haggard. She is not aging well.
I LOVE Las Vegas and am SO excited for the premiere.
And I hate lost. It does nothing but annoy me.
I enjoy Ugly Betty for the same reasons as you. And my husband won’t even give it a chance. Just insults it without watching. Dork.
I hate lost…Took it off my DVR schedule completely. Gimme some Criminal Minds and I’m happy….NCIS whooo…Numb3rs….yep. I just didn’t want anyone to think Zoot just became that way…She is mine you know..
I heart Ugly Betty!!
You should totally go do that marathon in Tucson. You should experience AZ weather in the winter. You’ll never want to leave.
Keep Warm. While we bask in blue skies, perfect sunshine and 80 degree days. Sorry. I have to brag. I just survived one hell of a hot summer, and it just cooled off like last week.
