IT'S HERE!

This Sunday on Fox my Jack is back! Yes, for two whole hours we'll get to see my Jack save some kids in Africa or something. And I think Tony is back too. I'm not totally sure, but whatever, Jack! How I missed you! Did you get my letter telling you of my love? For two hours on Sunday I'm going to feel so safe and loved! I've missed you my Jack! See you on Sunday!

GHOST WHISPERER

When this season's Ghost Whisperer started I'd heard rumors that something big was going to happen in the 6th or 7th episode. Maybe I should have prefaced this by telling you not to give me shite for watching this show. I like it. You know I like it. I used to hate Jennifer LOVE Hewitt. I mean, whose middle name is "Love"? Dumb. And she dated John Mayer so I wanted to really beat her face in. Then I saw her on this show and fell in love with her. She's still very cheesy and very silly, and probably one of those women who you know that crochets you doilies for Christmas. Anyway, back to what I was saying...

When the season started I was scared. Not just because of the ghosts. I heard rumors that the big thing that would happen in the first few episodes is that Jim would die. I thought, no, they couldn't do that. Jim is all kinda of sexy, the best husband, and did I mention sexy as hell? Then, the episode aired that I thought may be the one. I almost fast forwarded the episode to just see the end. Sure enough, at the end, Jim gets shot, but only in the shoulder. Whew, I was so worried.

Unfortunately, at the very last minute Jim had an embolism or something and died. Yes, died. WTF? They killed Andrea the first (2nd?) season, I thought for sure they wouldn't do that again. So here Jim is, wandering around, with his dead brother and eventually Melinda trying to get him to move on. He won't though, he wants to stay with her. I have visions of the next few seasons would be her trying to help people with his ghost following her around. Boring. And the announcer promised me a few times that their love would "transcend even death". WTF does that mean? Can you tell I was agitated?

Anyway, last week, Jim noticed that when people died and didn't have any unfinished business they would just leave their bodies and walk into the light. So at the end of the show, as Melinda begged him to go into the light he saw his chance and jumped into an accident victim after his soul left his body. There are so many things wrong with that. First, that is not his body to take. Second, don't you think that's TOTALLY against God's plan, whatever you think that may be, it's just wrong. And thank goodness the guy didn't have any horrible injuries, you know, like a scarred face or something. Plus, how messed up for his friends and family, right?

But get the guy wakes up and although he looks like the guy to everyone else, he looks like Jim to Melinda and he doesn't remember her! Yes! It's like a past life. In the coming weeks he starts to feel connected to her in some odd way, and they have to fall in love all over again. As much as I hated to see Jim die and the horrible mourning I did with the rest of the characters, I sorta love this plot twist! RIP Jim, hello NewJim!

LIFE ON MARS

I love that. Hated it before, love it now!

A few months ago I read this script. I knew it was a foreign (British?) show and after I read the script I spit on it, lit it on fire and took some of that twilight drug to make me forget the last hour. Seriously, it was so bad. I didn't know how anyone could make such doodie.

Now, more then a month into its season, this show is AMAZING. Like I think it's my fave show. At least close to the top. I don't even know why I watched that first show since I hated the script so much but I'm so glad I did.

Seriously! Golden!

Really, you'd be thinking the same thing, or maybe you did. A show about a guy who gets hit by a car and ends up in the 70s. Huh? That sounded dumb just writing it. The biggest question I had was "how did he get there?". At first that question was said with an eye roll and a head shake. Now I ask the question like I ask a question about Lost, "where did the island go". My sarcasm is completely gone. I am ALL FRAKKIN' IN.

Sam's mentor who in the 70s is an up and coming detective. Really, genius.

Sam Tyler is a cop who gets hit by a car in present day NY and wakes up in the 70s where he's a new transfer to his old police precinct. In this new/old precinct things are done truly old school, no Miranda rights, no women doing detective work, and lots and lots of witness ass kicking.

Come on! I giggle when I see this.

The cast is beyond stellar. Jason O'Mara plays Sam. He is all kinds of adorable. I saw him at a party a few months back and he's completely normal sized. Not tiny and not huge. Lisa Bonet plays his love in present day. Harvey Keitel and Michael Imperiolli (from the Sopranos) play his lieutenant and fellow detective, respectively. Havery Keitel as a hard nosed detective. Not exactly out of the box casting, but perfect nonetheless. Gretchen Mol, yes, ex-model Gretchen Mol plays a lady police who helps women and children but who should be a detective herself, but they don't promote dames! Hahhah.

Not only is Sam trying to figure out where/when the hell he is, he's also working cases as a detective. He figures if he solves something there it'll send him back to the his present to be with the woman he loves. This sounds like Quantum Leap and I LOOOOVVEE Quantum Leap. Usually if a show really excels in one respect it loses focus in another. This show's meat and potatoes is the cases Sam investigates with sprinkles throughout of his old life that he comes across randomly, making him wonder what is reality and what is a dream. For instance, he wakes up in the middle of the night and is watching a professor give a lecture on TV but it suddenly turns into a doctor talking about how he (Sam) is in a coma, like he's explaining it to family members. At some point Sam's heart even sounds like it stops beating. People appear and disappear. I love this show!

There are so many things right about this picture.

Can you tell I love this show. Watch the first two episodes. If you aren't in love with this show then your heart is dead. No, if you don't like this show after 2 episodes fine, but if you like any of these shows: Law and Order, Lost, Quantum Leap, NYPD Blue, Kojak, any good show ever!, you're going to love this.

WHY 24 MAY HAVE HELPED CHOOSE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT

This Tuesday we may see something that I for sure never thought possible. We may have a black President. Seven years ago a show premiered with a premise that seemed outlandish and almost silly at first. 24 came on the air mere weeks after 9/11, even editing one of the opening sequences of a plane exploding, trying not to offend it's still mourning viewers. The job that season that my love, Jack Bauer had, was to thwart an assassination attempt on the first black candidate in history who actually had a chance of becoming the nation's President.

I'll never forget, during every episode, the opening in that first season... "The following takes place between 6pm and 7pm, on the day of the California Presidential Primary". This year, on the day of the California Presidential primary, as I cast my vote for Barack Obama, I was struck with how life was imitating art, and it got me to thinking about how much art may just influence life.

David Palmer, 24's President, rest his fictional soul, was by far, the most confident, smart, educated, humane, likable, and strong President that I can remember on any TV show. West Wing's President Bartlett of course wasn't too shabby, but President Palmer exuded something that at the time, and still, our real President was sorely lacking. I wanted him to be our President, in real life.

I think watching him as President for the few seasons he was on, and even as a former President before his horrible assassination a few seasons back, gave fans of the show a glimpse of what would, or I guess more accurately, what wouldn't, happen if the President happened to be black. Millions of people watched and hoped that my Jack would save soon to be President Palmer's life, which of course he did, and admired the President on his life saving decisions for our country. 24 didn't depict a man who tried to start a race war, who only helped his fellow black man, who ignored foreign policy or domestic terrorism. We saw a man who loved his country, who fought hard to keep it safe.

I truly hope that on Tuesday this country thinks about the issues we face and chooses someone whom they think is right for the job, whoever it may be. Whatever the outcome, I do think that Fox's breakout 2001 hit helped some Americans see that there's nothing scary about a black President. Maybe this year they'll also see having a woman in the White House is pretty damn cool too.

TRUE BLOOD

Have you been watching this? I've been watching this and I've been sorta digging it. If you haven't heard about it short story is vampires have "come out" of the vampire closet. Vampire is the new black. Like black person. It's like Louisiana in the 50s, or yesterday, but instead of "lynch" mobs running after Pappi, they're running after the local vampire, who, in this case, happens to be the hotness.

Sookie is our main character, played by Academy Award winner Anna Paquin, who has mastered a southern accent from her times playing Rogue in the X-Men movies. Now, Sookie can read minds, which is kinda cool, but she never does it to benefit herself, she kinda just happens into other people's thoughts, and they are usually extremely sexual or hateful. Only twice has she used it to anyone's benefit and both times it was to the benefit of vampires. Speaking of vampires, she's getting it on with sexy Bill, played by, who cares, he's hot. I do kinda think I only think he's hot because he's a vampire. I'm a sick bitch. Bill has wandered back to his hometown and has fallen for Sookie, because really, who wouldn't?




But Bill faces some opposition to Sookie's heart, not from Sookie but from her best friend Tara, who is the most interesting character on the show, Sam, her boss and wanna-be lover with his sexy self and just about every other frakin' person in the town. Oh, accept for her grandmother, but oops, grandma is dead, killed by the person who's been killing vampire-lovers since the first episode. Yeah, I don't know either.

Anyway, the show is a mess. Truly, it's a mess. I'm not saying I don't like it, but there is not one consistent character. Sookie is sorta consistent, but again, she doesn't use her never explained powers for her benefit and even after a lifetime of having them, she hasn't learned to hone them, with no real desire to apparently.





Sam is her boss and has been in love with her from day one and who goes into fits of jealousy when he realizes she's given Bill the goods. But, he's never acted on his desire and is seemingly a pu**y when it comes to that. In an ironic twist, he's also a dog. Or, something. Sam slept with Tara because again, like Sookie, she's hot, and ended up barking in his sleep. Weird, but sometimes I dream I'm someone else. Not a dog or anything, but still, in the realm. But, then last week he's seen running naked through the woods. What? I'm not saying I would complain if I saw him running towards me, naked, but still, strange.





This is the only picture of him I found on a quick Google search. Guess we know how he got the job. Again, I'm not complainin'.

Jason, Sookie's brother, is freakin' hot. I would totally do him. Wait, I wouldn't, he's dirty. He basically screws everything in a 50 mile radius except his sister, and vampires. He's also a drug addict, addicted to "V", vampire blood. It's basically like "E", makes you all sexual and gives you hallucinations. Oh, and we found out the little known fact that vampire blood heals you. That's thanks to Sookie getting her ass kicked and Bill saving her with his blood. Anyway, Jason wants to be a good guy, but then every single thing he does is either slutty, bad or stupid. I don't see the point of his character except to make me happy looking at his body.



Really, the only person who is consistent is Tara. Her backstory is interesting, she has a crazy mother who she needs to take care of, she can't love anyone because she really doesn't love herself, she hates it, but she's in love with Jason because he protected her as a kid, and she's sleeping with Sam, because really, who wouldn't, but still can't reconcile with herself that she even wants or deserves to be happy.


And even the characters that are all over the place, they're still interesting, and if I'm going to believe that vampires exist, I guess stretching my mind out a little more to encompass the ridiculousness of some of those people is worth it. Speaking of vampires, I love them. I want them to bite me. So if anyone reading this is or knows a vampire, please tell them to contact me. But I only want a super hot one to bite me, like him...

I miss you Mick.

I JUST HAD AN ORGASM

Lost Season 5 Trailer

ONE MONTH

Dear Jack,

In a little more then one month from now you, my true love, will return. You will only be here for a short time, two hours, but just seeing you again (on November 23rd at 8pm/7pm c) will bring me back to the times that I fell in love with you over and over again. It may not satiate me until your final return in January, but at least I will get a chance to say hello for a brief and utterly exciting night in November. You'll be off in Africa, helping African babies, which, if you're going to be away from me, is just about the sexiest thing you can do.

I know people will be trying to kill you. I know you will be risking your life for the world again, but please remember, my love, I will be here, like I have been for nearly 8 years, waiting for your return, wanting you in my life again. So until we see each other again, I bid you farewell, for you to carry my undying love with you, always.

Forever yours,

tvgrrrl

GREY'S (SSNNNNNOORRREEE) ANATOMY

The first two episodes of Grey's was so boring and stupid. I don't care about intern Dr. Grey, Lexie, is that her boring ass name? And I don't care about Meredith and Derek, either be together or don't be together. The lesbian love affair between Callie and Erica Hahn is just weird, because, I'm sorry, Callie is smokin' hot and Hahn, not so much. Plus I liked it when she was getting in on with Dr. McSteamy in the on call room. That was freakin' sexy. George is George, oblivious to women and not seeing that boring Lexie is now in love with him. Why? Why is George bagging all the hot ones on this show? And I don't count Meredith in that, one, because she cried while he had sex with her, nice Grey, and also because she's not that cute. Now, she's a lot cuter now that she put some meat onto her bones, but still, her face is kinda pulled.

The only silver lining in the first few episodes was this...

That's some kind of yummy AND in a uniform. Seriously, I had to pause it, rewind it and then slap myself out of my dream that he and I have a cottage together in Provence, on a hillside, with a vineyard, and little red headed, freckled babies running around yelling, "Papa! Papa!". Sorry, I digress.

This yummy hunk of man is only in it for the season opener, eventually giving Cristina just what she needs, nearly throwing her down on a gurney and going at it. Whoa, sorry, I need a minute.




I think I just wet myself


I wasn't too impressed so far, but last episode slowly started to come back around. I hate Izzie. I know, I know, she was my girlfriend for awhile. But we broke up. She's a bitch, I realized. She's a whiny little bitch. Not that everybody on this show doesn't wine their ass off, because they do. But, there's something a least a little endearing about them. Even whiny bitch Erica Hahn, at least she likes some flava in her life.







Regardless, last episode I saw a glimmer of hope, hope that my show hadn't completely lost its mind. After last season's piss poor showing I was kinda sad when the first episode didn't "wow" me. I mean, besides my new boyfriend who left again to be a surgeon in Iraq (seriously, can he BE any hotter?????). Hopefully they bring him back and finally give Cristina the good boning she needs. Keep trucking Grey's, you'll get there.

MY OWN WORST ENEMY

I just watched the pilot episode of this show, and in spite of myself, I loved it. I had mixed feelings coming in. I thought, okay, a spy show, I get, but an NBC spy show will probably suck (I'm talking to you She Spies). I wanted to love it though because one of the first men I ever loved, Christian Slater, stars. Plus there are guns and bullets and blood and shite.

The basic story is there's this guy, Edward, who is a hot, sexy, loin quivering super spy and I guess not a good actor because he decides to undergo some experiment (we guess) that allows his personality to split and his other personality to be his cover, sweet Henry. Henry's been living his everyday life for the last twenty years with a wife and two kids unaware that on his business trips Edward does cool, hot and sexy, spy stuff.

The techy part of the show is actually kinda cool and you feel so sorry for Henry you just want to hold him real tight in a bathtub full of bubbles with Marvin Gaye playing the background and some scented candles that smell like lilacs burning in the background. I think Christian does a great job going between Henry and Edward and although I'm not too sure exactly where the show will go next, I definitely want to find out.

HEROES (REALLY?)

If I went to church this is what I'd pray for.

Ugh. I hate being wrong about something so good. Although, I wasn't really wrong wrong. The first hour of the new season of Heroes was frakin' amazing. But the second hour, and the episode after that had me doubting my own sanity.

Go away.

I hate Nikki, or whatever her name is now. Her story is stupid. She was one of triplets that got DNA modification and they all have abilities. What? And Nikki is really dead, so no more Micah, the only thing (person) interesting in her entire storyline. Blah, done, who cares. And she's teaming up with the other non-story. Nathan. By some odd ass rule, after he's blown up and shot, he's able to take a Senate seat that's vacated by someone. What? Silly Washington. And Nu-Nikki recruits him and then tries to quit and then unfortunately is unsucessful in killing herself and is saved by a flying Nathan. Oh, and Nathan has gone batshite crazy and is seeing Linderman, who may or may not be alive but nobody else can see. This story is so stupid. Hopefully it makes sense soon. Oh, and just like Nikki's useless ass power, Nu-Nikki can freeze things. But it seems she has to be touching them, unlike Iceman on X-Men who can actually throw his ice. But don't worry, as is ALL of the characters on this show, she will soon be able to do something one of the X-Men does. I won't go into the "German" in the second hour and second technical episode that could bend metal. Really Heroes? Really?

Run, girl. Run!

The other person who is working my last nerve is Mohinder. You know I'm all about Mohinder and his sexy ass, but he has gone nutso. He injected himself with experimental hero-juice because his new girlfriend (wtf?) Maya wants to get rid of her evil eye power. Now, because he's injected himself he can scale walls, hang upside down on rafters and has super human strenghth. Oh, and he's a tool. This all sounds so familair. Hmmm. The best part, just to make sure you're paying attention, Mohinder starts to get disgusting wing-like, skin-like flakes on his back that he peels off. I think, like the Sarah Palin/Tina Fey split screen, I'd like to see a split sreen of The Fly and Mohinder. Because seriously, really? Really Mohinder?

One other story that is so not floating my boat is Hiro. His father died, he got put in charge of the family business, just to reiterate the fact that society in a whole is completely misogynistic because why wouldn't his amazingly smart/business school educated/basically running the company before sister ever be considered for this? Wasn't Hiro just a regular business man before, not even working at his father's company? I'm confused. Anyway, in probably the most interesting part of this story Hiro goes four years in the future and sees Ando kill him with kick ass electric powers. Seriously, they were kick ass. But since then he keeps doing stupid stuff, like disobying his father's wishes and taking out of the safe half of a formal that could destroy the world which the new character, super fast Daphne steals. He and Ando go through trying to get the formula back only to be captured by The Hatian, and thank God he's back, I love him. You know who else is back??? Adam aka Kensei aka Julian Sark aska The Hotness aka My Future Boyfriend. Mamma Petrelli tells Hiro he has the key to saving the world and guess what that key is? That hot hunk of man he buried in the the family plot who is still alive since, like Claire, he can never die. You know what else can't die? My love for him.

As you can tell I'm going from worst to best. The next is Parkman. At the beginning of the season future Peter teleported Parkman to the middle of nowhere. He comes across a guy who tells him he's in Africa and has been basically waiting for him. The guy can, get this, draw things in the future and has been doing this, outlining Parkman's life. Now the show is copying itself. Anyway, Parkman sees that the world is in deep doo doo and sees that the African (don't black people get real names on this show???) has painted a moment that looks like Parkman is holding a dead woman. Intrigued, and who wouldn't be, Parkman takes some of the man's juju paste and puts on the man's headphones and sees the future himself.

In the future Parkman is hot.


In the most random and and another WTF moment, it's four years in the future and Parkman's married to Daphne. Huh? They have a baby and are still taking care of Molly. Oh right, Molly, you remember, the one who can find the heroes? And speaking of Molly, with Mohinder freaking the eff out and turning into the Fly, and Parkman doing a walkabout in Africa, who the hell is taking care of her in the present?



Sarah Palin as Mamma Petrelli.


Meanwhile, Mamma Petrelli has a secret. And this secret is huge. Sylar is her son. Seriously, that was another WTF moment. I'm totally confused. Wouldn't Nathan have noticed if his mother was preggers and didn't have a baby when he was like 10? Whatever, I've decided not to question minor things like that with this show. MP seems ot think Sylar can be taught to be good. Has she ever seen that video of that guy getting eaten by his pet lion? Anyway, she sends him out on a mission with the newly reinstate Noah Bennett. Is it just me or he looking hotter these days? The guy is hot, but hasn't been given the ability to show his full hotness potential on this show. Trust me on this though, he's tall, lean but in that musclar way, and without his classes he is classically handsome. Yum. Sorry, lost my train of thought.


Hey honey, there are worse things you could look like.

MP is mad at future Peter because, as he sent Parkman to Africa, he also sent present Peter (PP, hahahah) into some deranged killer from Level 5. They all escape Level 5 and go on a murder spree. This is PP (trapped in some hot Latino's body), The German, some other guy, and then some cute little black man, double yum.


Anyway, PP wants to stick with these guys because he thinks he can help them. What he doesn't realize is Jesse, the guy he's in, told his crew the plan of breaking out and then robbing a bank, forcing Noah Bennett to come get him so he can kill him. Rut-roh. MP sends Noah and his new partner, Sylar, into the building, hoping this new structured life will make her crazy baby not as crazy. Doesn't work. Future Peter shows up and grabs PP out of Jesse's body, leaving Noah vulnerable, but of coures, Sylar saves him, only to kill Jesse for his cool ability to yell at people and knock them over. No joke. Cute black man gets away. Oh, come to find out, cute black man's power is that he gets super human strength from people when they're scared.



Sylar in a suit. Yum.


Anyway, MP puts Sylar back into jail because it's not time yet. PP is taken to the future with future Peter because he wants him to see how jacked up things are now. He tells him that everybody basically went loco and he needs to stop that. Oh, and also, everybody in the future has powers. Like everybody. Someone created a formal to give them powers and people are using it to go crazy and steal things, kill people, etc. Basically it's what they feared would happen in X-Men and that the big blue furball became a Congressman to stop. I loved that movie. Take that critics!


FP tells PP that the answers lie in Sylar, who is in Costa Verde, in the Bennett's old house. Huh? Before PP and FP can find anyone to back up his story, Claire kills FP. That's a bummer, I was getting a little excited watching the two Peters together (that's what she said!). Anyway, future Claire is a bitch. Well, present Claire was a bitch too. Peter goes to see Mohinder because (what?) he's still in that G-D loft of the painter's. Who the hell is paying the rent on this place? All Isaac's stuff is still there? And he was KILLED in it, why wasn't this a crime scene. I'm confused. Anyway, Peter goes there and Mohinder is hidden away, breathing all heavily, he scurries around the floor. He says his formla was wrong. DER! He again says Sylar has the answers.





Little Sylar. Hey! Get your mind out of the gutter.


Peter zaps himself to Costa Verde, ready to fight Sylar, but Sylar's not Sylar, he's Gabriel. Gabriel is a daddy now, to little Noah. Yes, his kid's name is Noah and he's living in the Bennett house. WTF?

FC is in a gang with cute black man and Daphne. Oh, and right, now it's time for us to see Daphne with Parkman. They have a kid, which is cute. She wants to use Molly to try and find Peter. Future Parkman's not happy about this, but since he's always been sorta ball-less, he agrees and tells Daphne to be careful. So FC, CBM and Daphne all go to Costas Verde.



There are so many things wrong and wonderful about this picture.

Peter and Sylar are catching up. Peter's still not buying this Suzy Homemaker routine, even though Sylar is wearing a cute "kiss the chef" (or something) apron and cooking pancakes for his ridiculously adorable kid. Sylar takes Peter aside and tells him that he's not a crazy mofo anymore. Of course Peter doesn't ask the one question I think was weighing on all of our minds... Who is the mommy???? Anyway, Peter wants Sylar powers, all of them, so he can go back to the past and save the world. Sylar warns him that his power is dangerous, because, like being a vampire, once you get the "hunger" you can't control it. Luckily in the future he's learned to control it. Peter doesn't care, he wants it anyway because he thinks the only way he can win is if he has his power. How stingy is Peter. He just needs to stand next to somebody and he gets their power. He already has a bunch of powers. I do think it's interesting thought that they are Ying and Yang. Oh, maybe they're twins. I love that idea! I'm calling them now. How Sylar has to kill people to get their powers and Peter doesn't. Oh, and while they're taking a trip down memory lane, Sylar tells Peter that they're bros. Peter is flipping the hell out. He eventually takes Sylar's powers.



She's like 3 1/2 feet tall. She does NOT scare me.

Anyway, while they're discussing it the crew shows up and grabs little Noah. I wonder if Claire knows that that's her cousin. Anyway, they threathen the boy and Peter tries to reason with Claire, says that she was never a biatch like this before. She's not having it but Peter distracts her and punches her like she needed to be punched and Daphne and Peter fight. Cute black guy is fighting with Sylar who tell LN to go hide. Cute black guy pushes Sylar and he flies into the table LN was hiding behind and kills him. Daddy Sylar does not like this at all and goes nuclear on them, like Peter did, and basically effs Costa Verdes up.

Parkman and Molly are concerned for Daphne who shows up (instead of going to the hospital?) and dies in Parkman's arms. Parkman then comes out of his funk and wonders if it was all a dream. Haven't you been paying attention!? He figures he should find this chick. The African tells him to find his power animal, which Parkman quickly and idiotically decides is a turtle. There is a lot of symbolism in this episode.

Present Peter's in the morgue with his dead future self. He can't teleport out because The Haitan is there. But Nathan comes in, he's President now, and Nu-Nikki is his first lady. I hate her. He tells Peter he's going to take the blue furball's advice and set up some rules for these crazy ass people. Peter starts to get all Sylar-psycho and does that thing where he lifts them up and takes off the top of his head. He just killed his bro. That is not right. He freaks out and teleports back to the present and into Sylar's holding cell in Level 5, grabbing him. Sylar kind of chuckles at the idea that Peter now how the "hunger".

Like I said, the second hour of the premiere and the second episode were shite. But the first hour of the premiere and the last episode (3rd) were amazing. I'm all over it again. And any time Peter wants to walk around without his shirt with his cute little cocked smile he can feel free to do so.

RIP DR. PRATT

It's with a heavy heart that I report the death of Dr. Gregory Pratt. He's been in our lives for over 8 years now, saving people at Cook County General. Dr. Pratt left behind a legacy of not only healing those in Chicago, but going to Darfur and helping his colleagues, Dr. Carter and Dr. Kovac. Dr. Pratt is survived by his nearly discovered father, and his half brother, a paramedic. He also leaves behind a girlfriend, Tina, who he was going to propose to before his untimely death due to an exploding ambulance. The blast was meant for, and killed, a mob informant who Dr. Pratt was trying to keep alive. His colleagues and friends would like everyone to remember the good times with Gregg, and, if he would have survived, he would have been Chief of the ER, something that would have made his very happy. Dr. Pratt, you will be missed.

I'M OLD

Yes, I said it, I'm old. I'm watching The Principal's Office. That in itself makes me old. And probably the fact that I'm watching it on a Saturday night. I've just depressed myself. Anyway, the reason I think I'm old, the only reason until a second ago, is that I'm watching this show on truTV and I've fallen in love... with a principal. You know you're old when you're watching a show in a high school and you're attracted to to the principals. Oh look, Friends is on, I am old.

HEROES SEASON 2 (I'M PRETENDING LAST SEASON DIDNT HAPPEN)

I know I really don’t talk about this show that much, and after last season, I thought I never would. In July I went to Comic-Con in San Diego. I know, I’m a nerd. Anyway, I went to the Heroes panel and they showed the first episode of the season. I was hoping to just let Milo stand up there and not talk for an hour and a half so I could look at him, but, if watching a finished episode was all they could give me, I was okay with that.

Anyway, the new season, like the ones before, have themes. This season’s theme is called, “Villains.” In the first five minutes of the episode, they had me. If you take every single episode from last season, except for the last few because they were pretty good, and add them all together, you do not get the caliber of awesomeness this season premiere has. Yup, I said it, awesomenesss.

If, like me, you were thinking that maybe your Monday night was better spent watching something else, please, give this first episode a chance. It completely lives up to it’s theme, you don’t know which one of our “heroes” is really a hero or a villain. In fact, some you’re hoping are really villains and vice versa. Some you just want to tell to shut the eff up, and wish they weren’t even on screen. Nikki, I’m talking to your dumb ass. But, for the most part, if the season premiere is any indication on how good the rest of the season is going to be, then look out, this is gonna be good. It premieres Monday, September 22. And Sylar, why are you so damn sexy with your evilness?

AMAZING RACE!

For the sweet love of Christ my favorite show (almost) is back on the air and I am feeling good. The new cast of The Amazing Race has been announced and the show will be back on Sunday, September 28th. Now if the love of my life Jack Bauer would get his sweet ass back on TV my life would be made. By the way, I'm thinking the 24 movie is going to be premiering around mid November. Will keep you posted. Sigh.

Anyway, to the task at hand, please meet your new contestants on The Amazing Race. First, for old times sake...

And on to the show...

Terrance and Sarah

This couple has been dating a year and of course want to find out, from a month of traveling around the world, if they are meant to be together. The best part of their bio is Sarah says they are completely opposite, she's low maintenance and he's "emotional". Girlfriend that means he's gay, get out now and be shopping buddies, trust me, it works out better that way anyway.

Marissa and Brooke

Can we please have one season that they don't try to duplicate the madness that was the stupid blonde girls from two (or three?) seasons ago? Please. Amazing Race people, I love you, I do, but stop, stop. Oh look, in their bio Marissa and Brooke want people to know that they're not dumb blondes and they can be real competitors and cut throat. Sit down Marissa and Brooke, SIT DOWN.

Andrew and Dan

My vote for the first team eliminated. I know. That's not fair. I'm sure they're both really nice guys. They went to Arizona State so you know they can drink. One is still in college, I don't know or care which one, because they will be out way before it matters. I know, harsh. The other teams apparently started calling these two "Team Superbad". If this happens in the first episode they're doomed, because for the producers to even mention that in their bios makes me think they're trying to throw us and make us think they are in it longer then they are. Ugh, I've wasted too much time already on these two.

Aja and Ty

Yay, black people! These two are long distance daters who have known each other for years and hope spending all this time together will tell them if they're meant to move in together. Um, yeah, nothing shows you more about a person then being with them every waking minute for a month trying to win a million dollars. I have high hopes for these two, good television wise. Her complaint about him is he doesn't really have a sense of time, which will get pretty damn funny on this show. And he says she gets easily upset. OMG, I can't wait to watch these two yell at each other.

Mark and Bill

Oh my. Someone tell these two that this is the Amazing Race, not Comic-Con. As long as these two use their sci-fi infused brains and not trip over their own feet, they should do well. Or come in last on the first episode.

Toni and Dallas

This mother/son team will be entertaining, especially when Dallas (really, Dallas) starts banging one of the blondes. This team may turn out to be extremely sweet though, with the son protecting and encouraging his mom. Or he'll look like a completely douchebag treating his mom badly. Either way it should be fun.

Nick and Starr

Please no. Starr, really? They are brother and sister. Do you get that from looking at their picture? I do because I'm waiting for him to start belting out the fifth song from Zanadu. And oh look, he does off-Broadway performances. Surprise there. And I take back what I said about Dallas and the blonde girl above. He is totally going to bang StaRR, or Nick. That would be hot.

Anita and Arthur

Holy shite. I can't.


Kelly and Christy

I'm either going to love these two or totally hate them. Ex cheerleader and dancer. Ew. But, they want to be the first all girl team to win, and by the looks of them, even though they look like they're in their forties, I think they have a good chance. I can see them becoming really catty with each other though.

Ken and Tina

Oh lord, my life was just made. These two, I think, are going to give Jonathan and Victoria a run for their money on the way to being the all time douchiest contestants. They're a married couple who are separated and hope to rekindle the flame. Of course, maybe him not sticking his pen in company ink would have helped. Is it just me or does she look like Hatchet-Face from Cry Baby?

What? I'm just sayin'.

Anthony and Stephanie

Anthony and Stephanie have recently gotten back together after a year apart and hope that by the end of the race they'll be engaged. In fact, if they win, Anthony says he's going to propose. Something tells me Stephanie will be kicking some ass. I think he told her that just so she'd give it everything she had. "Yeah baby, I'm gonna marry you if we win". She's gonna be cuttin' bitches.
