Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in

Yeah, I still haven't seen the Godfather movies, I totally suck at completing my AFI list. This post has nothing to do with that, however. This post is dedicated to 3 shows, several previous episodes of which, I really did not enjoy. I was watching out of habit at that point and seriously considering throwing in the towel on all three of them and, you know what? All of a sudden, they started getting GOOD again.



Dear Ugly Betty,

Thank you for making episodes without the usual formulaic plot. Betty is naive, you say? Everyone is against her and pulling her in different directions and when she tries to please everyone, she pleases no one and ends up in big trouble? Hmmm... I might have seen that one already.

Also, I love Betty's new look.

Love,

Jen





Dear Grey's Anatomy,

Thank you thank you thank you for getting rid of Izzie. I love Katherine Heigl but I could not loathe her character more. Don't toy with me, though, she was in the latest episode. Can we kill her off?

Also, I thought all the new doctors were even meaner than the old ones but they might not be. There is potential there! Please tell me they will continue to be interesting and not horrible! The show needed some new characters, especially since Lexie was the only intern to become a real character.

Love,

Jen



Dear Gossip Girl,

Thank you for Hilary Duff (never thought I would say that) and a slightly less Oliver-like (anyone watch the O.C.?) Georgina lately. Also, I'm not sure exactly what it was but "They shoot Humphrey's, don't they?" was the best episode in a loooong time. I just loved it.

More sex, less bitching please.

Love,

Jen

  1. Oh no! I finally gave up on U.B. and G.A. this season.... Don't tell me it's time to give them another chance! (Just when I thought I might get a life away from the TV.)

  2. Tara - I say if you've already given them up, stay away. You are a better woman than I am. :)

  3. I got halfway through Godfather and turned it off. I don't like mob movies.

  4. Ashley - I tend to find them confusing. I often have to have a little powow with my fellow moviegoers after the movie to get explanations for all the nuances that were beyond my comprehension. I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent, but there is something about the mob that causes my brain to shut off.

  5. People always tease because I haven't seen any of the Godfather movies, but I'm just not interested.

    I agree with you about GA. Unfortunately, I don't think we have seen the last of Izzy.

  6. I so wish I hadn't read this post. We are probably 1 or 2 seasons behind you in Grey's Anatomy in the UK. While Izzie isn't my absolute favourite character, I do like her. Now I will have to go through countless episodes, knowing that she is one foot out the door. Not your fault, of course.

  7. Yeah, I'm liking Grey's and Gossip Girl, too. And Hilary Duff really was a good addition! It looks like she's gone, though, but the aftermath lives on. How long will it be before Vanessa finds out the whole stor?
