Studio 60 is back!

May 24, 2007 by Tricia

Hey! I meant to write this earlier this evening when I remembered that Studio 60 was coming back TONIGHT!

The show is on right now. If you are a fan of Studio 60 turn your TV onto an NBC channel right now.

I’ve heard that there will be five or six episodes and then it will be over for good.

I think the petition that was going around the internet a couple of months ago made it possible for the show to come back for these last episodes. I suppose if we still enjoy these new episodes we could protest again? Maybe they’ll bring it back next season if we beg?

This is almost how I react when Chris steals my pen

May 23, 2007 by Tricia

Ok I just wrote a post about Chris being the biggest pen thief in the world. Is it no wonder, is it, that I get kind of paranoid about my own pens?

Just like this Kids in the Hall video, I will not accept a pen from him that isn’t mine or the one that I specifically want to use. Part of that comes from having my favorite pens stolen by him, and the other part is that I’m a lefty and only certain pens are comfortable for me to use for writing.

I’m not quite as bad as the guy in this video, but to Chris – who immediately went and found this video when I had him read the post I just wrote about him, I must seem this way at times:

My Pennnnnnn!!!!! You’ve got my Pen!!! At least we can laugh at each other.

BTW have you noticed that I’ve really upped the Canadian related content this week? It’s purely by accident. Kids in the Hall is of course an old Canadian program produced by Loren Michaels, a Canadian, the producer of Saturday Night Live.

Another House Rerun?

May 22, 2007 by Tricia

Why is House a rerun this week? All the other shows have either ended or are having their finales this week and House is a rerun? The finale for House is next week?

Darn!

I’m setting up our DVR for taping. Chris isn’t home, so I’ll tape whatever shows we like and we’ll watch them when we have some time. Since House is a rerun it turns out that I’m not taping very much at all tonight.

Oh I don’t know if I ever mentioned this. I’m not writing the Watching House blog anymore.

I wasn’t really getting anything out of it. It was really frustrating to try to write a post that had something to do with the TV show five days a week when it was in reruns for two months through the winter. I just couldn’t see how I’d make it through the summer that way. It was also making me almost hate to watch the show. House went from being one of my favorite shows to something that was truly a “chore” to watch.

Now I’m getting back into it, but I’m still in analyze mode. There are more medical mistakes on that show than any of the other major medical dramas on TV.

Bob and Doug McKenzie Anniversary show Tonight!

May 20, 2007 by Tricia

I should have let you guys know this on Friday or Saturday, but it’s not too late. Tonight, on CBC (The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is set to show the movie Strange Brew, which will then be followed by an hour long Bob and Doug McKenzie 20th anniversary show. The special will be aired at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.

I wrote about Bob and Doug in a recent post where I talked about Canadian culture and mentioned that they were Canadian icons. They are quite funny.

The special is also going by the name the “Two-Four Anniversary Special”. In a recent post on my home and garden blog I wrote a post explaining what the Two Four weekend in Canada really is, and how it’s traditionally a major camping and partying weekend.

It’s all about the beer and uh so are Bob and Doug.

It really is too bad that the CBC is showing this special on our first major warmish weather long weekend here in Canada. Don’t they know that half of Canada is camping?

Grey’s Anatomy – I’m disappointed

May 19, 2007 by Tricia

Did anyone watch Grey’s Anatomy on Thursday night?

I was actually disappointed with the show. You’d think they’d tie it up with only one drama to leave us wondering but it just left me feeling kind of sad. There’s just to too much drama in this show. I’m afraid to say that I think I’m starting to not like the show.

I’m sure that’s not how the creators wanted us to feel at the end of Season one.

So George won’t be going off to another hospital since he didn’t pass his intern exam. Ok that’s good, but if he didn’t pass his intern exam and doesn’t seem to want to do the program all over again where does that leave him – and us?

Izzy’s being her wishy washy self. Trying to hold back on George so that he can continue to be with Calle, but then right at a crucial moment she tells him that she’s in love with him. This is after George and Calle decided that they’d try to have a baby … so where does that leave both George and Calle, and George and Izzy. Frankly I don’t really care. As long as George stays in the program.

Then we find out that Derek was offered the job as Chief but he turned it down? Wasn’t that why he came to the Seattle Grace in the first place? So Calle will now be the head of the hospital. Hmmmm Baily isn’t happy about that, not one bit.

Speaking of Baily, both she and Addison were pretty much their normal selves. They didn’t have as much drama going on as the rest of the group so I don’t have a whole lot to say about the two.

The only real semi-happy ending is that it looks like the Chief and his wife might get back together. Yes they lost their baby, the one that the chief didn’t even know he was about to have, but his caring attitude towards his estranged wife might have pulled them back together. I guess we’ll see how that goes next season.

And what’s with Derek pulling back from Meredeth? She’s been trying, but I guess not hard enough. When Derek finally told her that he’s in for the long haul as long as she is, she made an excuse to end the conversation. Something tells me that she is going to end the relationship. You know what? I don’t really care about that relationship either. They’ve been back and forth so much that they’ve lost me. I don’t mean I’m confused, I just mean I don’t really care anymore. They’ve lost their magic because the creators can’t decide what to do with them. Focus people!

Who else … Alex and Ava or Rebbecca? Nah … if something was going to happen between them it should have happened at least two shows ago. They lost me on that one too. I j u s t d o n ‘ t c a r e.

Burke and Christina! What a heart breaker! I really thought they were going to make it. I loved the vows that Burke quoted during the surgery he was performing. I knew that any of the women in the room would have married him with those vows! Wow. Let me fan myself off – it’s hot in here. What I don’t understand is why he gave up at the end. Christina was trying. Yes she could have been more positive, but she was trying. She knew she’d be happy when that darn marriage was over.

Meredith kept saying throughout the show “Christina you’re going to do it right?”, “we need you to make it”, “We need this” … I think she wasn’t just talking about Christina and herself … I think she was talking about the show too. Now that that relationship has failed too … well the show just seems like a failure to me.

Well, I guess you now know what I really thought about the season finale … what did you think? Did they lose you too?
