Okay - first? I just finished watching Reaper because that’s what I do now that I wake up at 4:20am. (Sidenote: This entry will probably go live later in the day…so in reality I should say I finished the show this morning. But that’s too confusing.) I watch TV from the night before. And how hilarious is it that Lady Heather was the Devil’s girlfriend? Yeah - so EW refers to her a Julie Cooper-Nichol - we all know she was and will always be Lady Heather…Gil Grissom’s one true love. Not that Sara Sidle girl. I love Lady Heather and I would love it if she became a recurring character on Reaper.

I also watched Bones (last night), another show that EW is talking about today. I’m glad to see I watch the same shows as those guys. Makes me feel cool. I thought The Kiss was totally awesome and perfect in every way. EW did best describing it:

He had her gum in his mouth when they were done! She grasped his lapels with both hands! He seemed unsteady on his feet when it ended and she looked very, very pleased with herself.

For those of us being pulled in by those two character’s chemistry for years? It was perfect. I don’t think any of us want them to date, but it was a great taste of what could be.

Did you vote for Beauty and the Geek yet? No? Well, hurry! I think Dave and Jasmine have made the best transformation and should win, no doubt. But, I like both teams and think they have both done well. So, I won’t be too angry with the results either way.

I haven’t watched House yet, but I know who got booted thanks to my feed reader and the nineteen million TV blogs I subscribe to. I guess I’ll watch the episode tonight, but I hope it’s not too ruined knowing the results. However, I am glad with the results, no matter how they came to be. (I’m not saying who got booted in the entry b/c MrZ hasn’t watched it yet, I don’t think. Feel free to chat about it in the comments, though.)

I still have a few other things to watch from last night…but I’ll chat about those later. What did you watch? Any comments?

Well - since my TV site is having technical difficulties - and since I need topics to hit the 100 entry mark at the end of this week - I thought I’d talk a little about TV for a bit.

New Shows This Season That I’m Still Watching
I started with several shows this new season, but I’ve only stuck it out with a handful. Here they are:

1. Chuck - Chuck Bartowski is my new Seth Cohen. I love him dearly.
2. Reaper - I know the critics say it’s not gone anywhere great since the pilot, but I love every episode and anticipate the “vessel” each time.
3. Gossip Girl - It’s my guilty pleasure. Shut up.
4. Aliens in America - I’d follow Luke from Gilmore Girls anywhere. Lucky for me, this show makes me laugh.
5. Samantha Who? - I started for the Pamie but stayed for the Sukie.
6. Pushing Daisies - I forgot this the first time, thanks Karin for reminding me! I love this show!

Old Shows That I Newly Started Watching This Season

1. Ghost Whisperer - I know. I know. I used to hate her. But now I love her. I’m sufficiently ashamed.
2. American’s Next Top Model - Why has it taken me so many seasons to finally listen to your suggestions? I love this show.
3. Torchwood - It’s old in England, but new here on our BBC channel, so I didnt know what category to put it under. Either way, I LOVE THIS SHOW. It is possibly the one I look forward to the most every week. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

Old Shows That I Still Love With All My Heart

1. Bones - This show just seems to get better and better. It is the best ensemble on television, in my opinion.
2. Heroes - I know everyone else in the world hates it right now, but I kinda love it still.
3. How I Met Your Mother - SLAPSGIVING. Enough said.
4. House - Although I miss the old team.
5. Friday Night Lights - Coach Taylor is still a frequent member of my dreams. Yum.
6. Numb3rs - The plots of this show are ridiculous the way they to try to connect FBI cases with math, but the characters are so great I still love the show.
7. Las Vegas - I miss James Caan, but Josh Duhammel is still pretty.
8. Criminal Minds - I’m not a fan of the addition of Joe Montegna on this show, but I still watch it religiously.
9. CSI - I’m so glad to see Sarah Sidle go that it hurts me.
10. Ugly Betty - Amanda and Marc are my total BFFs.
11. The Amazing Race - It’s all for the Phil.

I’m sure there are others I’ll add as I remember them. So, what are YOU watching?

The best video of the WGA Strike campaign that I’ve seen so far.

(See many more here.)

So, you know how I’m watching Gilmore Girls, right? (Mentioned here and here.) Like…after it has been canceled? Well. I’m finally on Season 4 (LilZ, stop reading now if you’re reading this because I don’t want this season ruined for you) and we just saw Dean get married. WHAT? Why did he get married? I mean…I watch Supernatural so I was fairly certain they didn’t stay together forever…but there’s a picture on Season 4’s box that shows them embracing! Lovingly! Does this mean Dean cheats on his wife with Rory? NO! Dean is too sweet to do that - - isn’t he? And do I care? Because I kinda want them together?

And I’m so torn about Jess. I know he comes back this season (he’s on the box too) but I also know he doesn’t end up with Rory because he has to go save the world from Sylar. But I really like him. But I also really like Dean. I mean, I love Dean and really wish he hadn’t gotten married. But maybe I’m glad he got married because now Rory and Jess can get together? Maybe? I don’t know who I love more. And this is evident by the fact that I dreamed the other night that I had to choose between them. I watch too much TV.

Why am I telling you all of this? Because I have to get it off my chest because the desire to Google what happens is so overpowering. I know that Rory ends up with some guy named Logan for awhile because I found articles about that when Veronica Mars had her Logan. But I don’t know what happens between Rory/Dean/Jess and I’m dying to know! Tell me not to look…tell me not to Google the answers!

And while you’re at it - tell me NOT to Google about Luke and Lorelai. Although - if they don’t ever end up together I may kill someone. They have to get together at some point, don’t they? Should I Google the answer so that I won’t get disappointed if they don’t end up together? No. I shouldn’t. I should just watch it and be surprised like the rest of the world. Right? No? Yes? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Besides get a life. That’s a given.

If you’ll recall, I recently started watching the Gilmore Girls. You know, because I like to stay current and get in on fads and trends in the very beginning so I don’t miss out.

I’ve started season 2 now and am just a few episodes in. I’ve watch Lorelai and Max be engaged and have conversations scarily similar to ones MrZ and I had years before we got married. Which is why I’m glad they canceled their wedding. Anyone who has decided to marry someone that is not the father of their children knows that the step-parent role is not one that has been easily defined. It is different in every family, with every child, and it’s not something you just jump into. MrZ and I dated for 3 years before getting married. We lived together for a while before getting married, but we didn’t share a room. (I know. Seems weird. But we had our reasons which are lengthy and possibly unexplainable.)

Anyway - my point? Glad they didn’t get married.

My next point? It is very weird watching a show from 5-6 years ago because I keep seeing actors pop onto the screen that play roles in other shows now and I spend most of the time wondering what will be the thing that gets them off the show. Will they be dumped? Do the dumping? Will they be abducted by aliens or die at the hands of the evil robot warlord that takes over Stars Hollow?

Example? Jared Padelecki plays Dean in season 1 and so far in season 2 but I know at some point he must leave the show to chase demons as Sam in Supernatural, one of my favorite shows. And then last night (like five years ago) we met Luke’s nephew, Jess who is played by Milo Ventimiglia - my favorite brother on Heroes. It’s all very weird. Because I really don’t know what happens in the show since I never followed it, but I can kinda guess some plotlines because I know the actor moves on.

It’s a weird thing - is all I’m saying. Which is why I should have listened to you all years ago and just watched the show with the rest of the world instead of beginning with season 1, six months after the show ended it’s 7-year run.
