Update

Okay so here is a quick update with quite a lot packed in so bear with me.

So most of my fave shows are taking a break over Christmas (Desperate Housewives, Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl) but I have to say they have all managed to leave me hungry for more, Susan being almost dead on the pavement being the best cliff-hanger. I didn’t see what happened with Gabby’s biological daughter as my TV was having a moment but I thought the way they have played out that especially Juinata’s finding out. I am glad that all the bad feeling is gone between the housewives and the gay guys, they do seem to make life fun around the street. But here is a great promo for the next episode:



Vampire Dairies was really good this week with a lot going on. It was heart breaking every second Tyler and Caroline were on screen and it was good to see both of them with more screen time as they are both very awesome characters. It was also nice to see some good old sibling squabbles between Elena and Jeremy, and of course like with most of these episodes Damon shone, although I do think that the whole finding out if the new girl is a wolf or not was a little long winded.



Gossip Girl was also very good, I loved the way they brought everything together and it was good to see Blair and Dan on screen together they seem to have great chemistry when trying to save Serena. It was also good to see Jenny on screen even if it was only for a few moments; I do hope she gets a bit more screen action when the series returns in the new year. I also love the last song in this episode, below is a video of it, Coming Home:


I have also found a promo for the next episode:



Okay so also since I last checked in there was the explosive last episode of Life Unexpected season 1, I really love this show and am a little disappointed that there will not be a season 3 although season 2 looks to be explosive and I can’t wait. Here is a promo to keep you hooked:



On the mention of really good cancelled shows, Dark Blue has recently been cancelled by it’s home network TNT. I am really upset about this as this is one of the best cop shows I have seen in a while but I am still going to watch season 2 when it comes round again.



You may also know that I am doing a episode by episode blog post about Gilmore Girls, I have been trying to update this as quickly as possible but as with all best laid plans it did not go entirely to plan with me now almost a week behind but have no fear people I will be back to this soon, I have not had a chance this week at all and I am sorry.

As you know Veronica Mars one of my most favourite programmes has just come to the end of its run again but have no fear I have discovered something new and almost as exciting. I have really gotten into Everwood in the last week or so, it stars, Emily VanCamp, a favourite from Brothers and Sisters. The rest of the cast is also pretty amazing. Of you have not yet seewn this TV show and I cannot believe that you haven’t, it is all about a man who moves his son and daughter to a small town called Everwood after his wife dies, they of course with any small town (think Gilmore Girls) meet some quirky characters but it seems to work for them.


Also this week we had the double bill of the final couple of episodes of Make it or Break it and I have to say I love this show, I cannot wait for it to come back again.



Leverage was also really good the past couple of weeks, although I have not seen the latest one so I will be interested to see how they cope without an office and all going in different directions but I am sure they will work it out, they have to I am really excited to see what happens with this.

Pretty Little Liars is kind of annoying me a bit now, I don’t see it going anywhere, but I will stick with it in the hope that it will get better.

Okay so I know I have already said this in another post but 90210 is coming back guys! SENIOR YEAR BABY! HELL YEAH! Now I know I have been asking for this for ages but now that it is here I remember how bad the storylines have been in the past, hopefully this year will be better, I mean we have so much to talk about, what with the assumed rape, the drunken car crash and the evil guy setting fire to the boat but the most important thing in my mind at least was Annie and Liam. Here is a promo


Also brand new in January is Glee, now I know I am way too far behind in this as it is almost half way through in the US but of course being the UK we have only just started it now. So here is a promo:


In my browsing of many different TV websites I have decided I have to see Melissa and Joey, it looks hilarious.


Okay so i think i have covered everything, i will continue putting up the lists i started.

Southland

Okay so i mainly started watching this out of boredom and lack of other good TV on at the time. I later (when i saw him on the show) realized this was Ben McKenzie's next big TV show after The OC and i have to say i think he picked well. this time he is on the complete opposite side of the story, good boy from an overly rich family, and i think the uniform actually suits him. As for his partner, John (Michael Cudlitz) i am not sure, in fact i am not sure about any of the rest of the cast. they are all relatively unknown, to me anyway and seem to lack so spark but it does seem a lot more real than any of the other cop shows on TV (Cold case, CSI) and i kind of like that about it. The story lines are well written and executed, and although unknown they all seem like very good actors.
I particularly love how all the cops in the department have their own story, life, outside of the office which many cop shows rarely manage to to do well. Sometimes i would just like to see a bit more of it. For example Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro) and his daughter/ sister. I think that could have been the storyline to a whole TV show of its own but they barely managed to cram it into 20 minutes in one episode. and Detective Lydia Adams (Regina King) and her mother or lack there of, we never seem to actually see it is always just a voice.
I think they should cut back on the amount of cops in the department and focus on maybe 4 or 5, i want to see more of their personal life. That is one of the things which really bugs me about this kind of show, it is all about the action and banter in the office, leaving very little room for the family drama going on at home, of which this show has plenty.

Ayway you should definitely check it out if you haven't already.
