Saddest Clips from past and present shows..

Although I am not necessarily an emotional person I can honestly say that these four clips made me tear up when I saw them when they aired, and still do to this day when I re watch them.

The first two clips are from One Tree Hill, and the O.C.. Both of these clips deal with high school students dealing with shooting incidents.

In the One Tree Hill clip the shooting incident deals with a young unpopular disturbed student named Jimmy who is sick of the popular kids treating him poorly, and more importantly the whole high school scene where he feels nothing more then invisible.

In the O.C. clip the shooting incident deals more with family problems then actual high school issues. Although the shooting portion of this scene is not shown, the part that I found more heartwarming is the fact that the aftermath of Ryan's girfriend shooting Trey to save Ryan's life resulted in Trey leaving without notice. And Ryan being his brother knows exactly where Treys going, and although they may not be on the best terms Ryan still felt the need to say bye to his big brother.

The next two clips deal with two lead characters Lynette in Desperate Housewives, and Kitty in Brothers and Sisters dealing with their cancer, and handeling it differently when it comes to telling friends and family members.

In Desperate Housewives Lynette has spent the first half of kemo, and dealing with cancer just with her husband Tom, and finally after way to much pressure from her kids schools to help out more, Lynette has taken to much, and what starts as a way of shutting a mother up, ends as a way for all of Lynettes friends to see Lynette for what she really is at the time.

In Brothers and Sisters Kitty decides its finally time to let herself and her loved ones surrounding her know whats really going on in her life, and to be proud of just that.

Golden Globes/Critics Choice Awards Review!

Critics Choice beat Golden Globes in several of the important categories. As far as best host Kristen Chenowith totally out did Ricky Gervais. Kristen had a lot of funny sketches, and did a good job interacting with her fellow actors. Where as Ricky spent most of the night promoting his new show, and movie out on DVD, and that was very short of entertaining. Also, the Critics did a lot better job then the Hollywood Foreign Press in deciding the best picture in the Drama category, I two think that Hurt Locker was more deserved then Avatar as far as for the best picture category. Although Avatar has done amazing at the box office, a year ago it wouldn't even be in the best picture group. The biggest disappointment in both the Critics Choice awards, and the Golden Globes was George Clooney, and Up in the Air not getting what they deserve. Even though I do feel that George Clooney should have took home the best actor nod for both awards I think that Jeff Bridges was a good decision non the less. Lets hope that the Oscars do a better job in deciding the winners for the most important categories of the night.

Most annoying clips from past and present shows.

Over this winter break with the shows being off until the second week in January I have been catching up on old episodes of TV shows both past and present, and while it has been nice to reminisce I have unfortunately witnessed a few annoying and embarrassing clips from some of my favorite shows.

The first clip is from One Tree Hill season 6 (which by the way is my second least favorite season of this show).
This clip is when Nathan and Chase do Karaoke and it leaves you speechless, and not wanting more.

The second clip is from the O.C season 2,and in the clip Marissa's father Jimmy had just left, and as sad as that is this clip is quickly ruined by the Cohen's (mainly Sandy) trying to help Marissa's mood by talking about how to really cream cheese a bagel, and unfortunately I am not kidding.

The third and final clip for the day is from Gilmore Girls season 4, and it takes place when Jess is about to leave, but is distracted by the amount of money his Uncle Luke has given him, and while trying to find Luke, Jess is thrown off by running into Rori, and as Rori always does she makes herself look dumb by having Jess chase her around, and as a fan of this show I find myself questioning yet again why guys like Rori..at all.

Fall 2009 show recaps, and predictions for the spring season!

Instead of studying for my finals as is every single one of my fellow college students right now, I am sitting here and thinking about the suprises in the fall season finales, and making predictions for the upcoming episodes.

Shows that suprised me- One Tree Hill, Melrose Place, and Gossip Girl
Although I have been bashing OTH, and Gossip Girl for the better portion of the year I am very happy in how their fall seasons ended. OTH and Gossip Girl as well as Melrose place all went to the Dark side. OTH especially suprised me in going over to the dark side with Alex's suicide attempt, and Milicent and her cocaine addiction. In doing this OTH was able to grab more fans, because what is better then witnessing characters lifes fall apart. In Gossip Girl the idea of Serena having to decide between two cousins it caused for alot of drama, especially since one of them was married at the time. In choosing the wrong cousin Serena was left in the front seat of a crashed car, that was not her fault to begin with. In the season finale not only did that happen, but we found out that the good Chuck that has just turned good since dating Blair still has some bad in him. In finding this out we were suprised to find his father reappearing as a ghost with bad advice..Chuck came out of it as the good Chuck that we all know and love, but also with a potential living mother..that we were not aware of being alive until the very end of the episode. With Melrose it has had pretty low ratings with the very poor previews and the terrible acting by Ashlee Simpson, but in the last few episodes with the new relationships between neighbors it allowed for way more interesting story lines. Overall the CW has stepped up and has kept all of us at our feet for the new spring seasons.

Shows that did not suprise me in being amazing as usual- Desperate houswives, Brothers and sisters,90210, Cougar Town, Modern Family
Desperate houswives kept us all at our feet at the SCREAM made by Gabby when the plane almost hit her daughter, and instead Lynette was there to rescue her pregnant and all. This also leads to us assuming that the scavos and Solesis will finally be friends again after all of the talk about going to court, and such. We were also left with a clif hanger wondering who died..Carl or Orson who were in the house where the plane slid right into...I believe it was not only Carl, but also Bob..with Bob's signifcant other looking for Bob for most of the episode that causes me to assume that Bob may be dead along with Carl. In brothers and sisters we were witnessing a very happy marriage ceromony until kitty passes out at the end..which allows us to assume her cancer is worse then we all thought. And in 90210 Naomi finally hears the truth about her sister and Liem, which in the season finale we get to see them together at the end..because liem finally reveals alittle about himself...that is unfortunate in my opinion because I liked levy and Liem because levy repped it for the townboys..but it is nice to see Liem and Naomi happy..also we end the episode with annies boyfriend revealing that he is not only a drug dealer, but he has known all along that annie killed his uncle, which causes us to assume that he is going to play the video to portray just that..and screw annie over yet again. Cougar Town, and Modern family kept me laughing their whole fall season with the sarcasism in both shows, which was well needed after watching all the shows that were filled with tears, and drama through out the whole season we needed something to keep us laughing.

I pray that with the Golden Globe nominations coming out in two days that Desperate Housewives will get some nods, as well as Brothers and sisters, and even cougar town, and modern family..keep your fingers crossed.

Best Show of the Week: Brothers & Sisters

Bridget: Brothers & Sisters stepped their game up on this weeks episode. Everything from the wine tasting to Kitty and her husband and his reaction to her hair and Sarah and her boyfriends situation. In overall great episode. Other shows watched this week were Desperate Housewives, One Tree Hill, 90210, Melrose Place, sadly The Hills and the City,Modern Family, Cougartown, and The Ruins. Desperate Housewives was good as usual especially sense we got to see more of Angie in Sunday's episode. One Tree Hill was really good as well, but Haleys sister needs to calm down and GET A CLUE. 90210 and Melrose Place were amazing as always, and Dixon is really really annoying and I hope Naveed saw Jasper push him down the stairs. Melrose Place has become one of my favorite shows of the week. It is different kinds of drama and I really like Davids and Laurens relationship. The Hills has basically become the same every week, with the same drama and the same conversations. The City is actually really hilarious because Roxy is an idiot and their boss is awesome. Modern Family and Cougartown were hilarious as always. The Ruins is absolutely terrible. With Brad being gone their is no point in watching it and the Champions have an easy rout to the finish line. It sucks that their is no good TV next week except for the American Music Awards and I'm excited for Rhianna and Whitney Houstons performances.

Next Show To Be Canceled..hmmm

Shows have been dropping like flies lately, and im starting to wonder if the shows I actually like will be the next dropped. For example Eastwick was canceled, and that had alot of very well known actresses and actors in it, and it also followed the hugely popular cougar town, and modern family. With that said I am afraid along with CWs TBL (the beautiful life); which lasted a good two episodes, One Tree Hill might end its 6 season streak. With One Tree Hill already bumped up to the 8:00 oclock spot I am afraid OTH looks like the best contender to get booted next. With it competing against dancing with the stars, and for the pure fact that the CW has really put alot of money and attention into the highly liked 90210, Melrose Place, Vampire Diaries, and Gossip girl it would only make sense that One Tree Hill be booted, which is unfortunate for fans like me, but lets be honest with ourselves...Lucas, and Peyton our gone and they were among the favorite regular characters on that show..so it would only make sense that like the favorite regulars the show goes with them, and we can all reminisince on the past seasons, and put more time into the other shows...like 90210!

Mia Micheals of So You Think You Can Dance will be missed

Mia has been apart of so you think you can dance for all five of the seasons, and unfortunately for all SYTYCD fans she is not with us anymore. Mia has created dances such as Lacey and Kameron's "Dancing", and one of her most popular from last season the Jeanine and Kayla season finale dance. Al though people will still be entertained with choreographers such as some of my favorites Laureann Gibson, and Sonya..it will not be the same without Mia. Mia makes each dance a story, and people can relate to most of the stories that Mia creates, and that makes the show that much more appealing. With Mia's departure its hard for me to say that I will keep up with this season 6 without her. Not only is Mia going to be gone, but also the show is on only one day a week, and it was already taped, and all of the dances are performed at a different theater..i just think that SYTYCD should stick with their regular summer season, and get back to their old theater..and most importanely convince Mia to come back!
