Update

Okay so I am sorry I have been kind of AWOL at the minute and I realise I am kind of behind but to kind of catch you guys up here is an update of all the shows I have been watching recently.

Every Week Day:
One Tree Hill 6am E4- They are still showing all of the old seasons through, we are now halfway through the fifth series. I will carry on updating the post i have done on all the episodes but i have been busy so if you haven't seen it yet here it is.
Gossip Girl 7.15am ITV2- Okay so they are reshowing Gossip Girl from the very begining every weekday morning. Currently we are in the middle of the previous series.
Gilmore Girls 9.25am E4- Okay so i know i have watched this several times through but I am still enjoying it so it will be on my watch list for as long as it is on TV.
The Real Housewives of New York  9.25am ITV2- Okay so I am now starting the fourth? series of this show and i have to say it is amazingly addictive, although i am not sure whether i will like it as much now that Bethanny has left, so I don't know.
Numbers ITV3- Okay so this show is showing round in circles again on ITV3 in the early hours of the morning. It tends to vary as to what time it is on so I would check before you set up a bumper record.

Monday
One Tree Hill 9pm E4- Okay so i know i have not updated my guide to this show in a while, i am just so busy at the moment. I am not upto date at all but i will catchup in the next couple of weeks, and then post the link to it here.
Made in Chelsea 10pm E4- Okay so it is back for a second season, and it seems the drama is even more so than last series.
Young Apprentice 9pm BBC- Okay so it is back for a second season and seeing as the first was so good, I am indeed going to be tuning in for the second.

Tuesday 
The Vampire Diaries 9pm ITV2- Okay so we have just started the third season and i have to say i am already hooked, i think it has a lot to do with the chemistry between Damon and Elena, just get together already guys. here is the first of my many posts on this season, here.
Death in Paradise 9pm BBC1- Okay so this is the new one on BBC One starting this week, i am actually quite looking forward to this one because of the main guy(Johnny English's sidekick) but i'm not sure about the storyline. I will give it a chance.  
The Body Farm 9pm BBC1- Okay so this is the programme that Death in Paradise will be replacing but i have yet to catch up on the latest couple of episodes, hence it still being on here.

Wednesday 
Gossip Girl 8pm ITV2- Okay so yes the new series has started only last week in fact and i am already hgooked right back in, tune in guys this season is going to be explosive! Here is last weeks update.
Human Target 9pm 5USA- Okay so i have only watched the first in season 2, on a couple of sweeks ago but i am planning on catching up soon. Unfortunately it is the last season as it was cancelled earlier in the year by its parent network, oh well guys, enjoy it whilst it lasts.

Thursday 
Hidden 9pm BBC1- Okay so this is a really clever new show on BBC1, it has Gene Hunt guy in it from Ashes to Ashes and i have to say i am loving the proper original British drama.
Educating Essex 9pm Channel 4- Okay so i find this strangely addcitive, as you have probably guessed by now, i do not watch TOWIE, but i find this documentary following a high school in Essex's strangely addictive. Check it out.
Southland 9pm More 4- Okay so a ireally like the first  series of this but completely missed the second. They are now showing the third season on More 4, so i will try and catch up with the second season online before actually watching this but i am recording.

Friday
DCI Banks- Okay so the books i have to say were not the best crime fiction i have ever read and so i was  little cautious about the TV adaptation but i was wrong to be it seems. The characters are believable, they do not seem to have moved from the original storyline even and yet i love it. I am a little bit annoyed that they have seperated the two part of each by a week but i have taken to recording the first week and watching it just before the second and so it works.
Have i Got News For You- Okay so i know i have never really talked about this show before but it is one of my all time faverites. They have just put a huge advertising campaign behind it and so the new series is amazing. It is a hilarious round up to the working week and i would definitely give it a go. I like to think of it as a much more interesting version of this weeks news.

Saturday 
Okay so at the moment there is not a whole lot going on on the Saturday. This is mainly because i do not follow Strictly come dancing until the Christmas Fianle when we have family over who really love it, and i also have fallen straight out of love with the XFactor. So Saturday  is a chance for me to actually get some work done, go out and socalise, you know, what normal people do.


Sunday 
Make it or Break it 4.45pm E4- Okay finally! E4, i cannot believe you made me wait this long! the Latest season is just starting in the Uk with the next series due to start sometime after Christma in the US. I love this show and have been missing it ever since it left us those many months ago. You Know where i'll be in a couple of hours time.

The OC 10am& 11am Really- Okay so as many of you may know I am completely obsessed with this show and even though I have all the seasons on DVD i was pleased to hear that it will yet again be hitting our screens, they have only been showing this for a couple of weeks and so are not that far in so a definite time to get yourself obsessed if you have never experienced this show before. 

Spooks 9pm BBC One- Okay so this is it guys, tonight is the last ever Spooks, there willl be no more. Okay so i don't know why i am doing this, i am not a die hard fan, i only really startied watching this a couple of series ago when they stopped making Waking the Dead, but i still follow it and am transfixed by my TV screen on a Sunday night at 9pm. Be There!





In other news:


I told you earlier in the year that E4 had brought the rights to Apartment 23 and New Girl but they have also confirmed that they will be showing 2 Broke Girls (CBS) but at the earliest this December, 90210 season 4 but not until January. They have also brought the rights to the new remake of Charlies Angles but seeing as they have only made 8 episodes in the US before it was cancelled, i don't know whether they will bother. New Girl is said to be with us in November and Apartment 23 in the early spring. Channel 5 have said they will be picking up the new series of The Mentalist and have even confirmed when, Jane will be back on our screens on the 11th November. Channel 5 have also confirmed they have the rights to the second season of Parenthood but will not be showing it until at least January. Castle is still unknown as to whether it will be back on Channel 5 but it seems to be back this side of Christmas on Alibi.
Now as many of you will know I was rather obsessed with Glee last year but since then E4 has refused to buy the rights for the third season and Sky snapped it right up. Season 3 is currently showing on Sky. I do not however get Sky and have not really bothered with it this time around. If I get some time I may well go back to it at a later date and watch it online or something but until then I just have too much going on. I also wanted to alert you to the fact that I will be taking on Greek as one of my step through guides. It is currently showing the second season on E4 in the mornings so I will be taking the time to hopefully catch up with another episode guide. Speaking of episode guides, I realise my One Tree Hill one has been down for a while, this is because I am currently updating it and it will soon be back hopefully up to date. I have also started The OC as a more in depth episode guide than you are used to from me and so this will take a little longer, I hope to have finished the first season by Christmas and have it up and running.


In Other Other News:
We still have a fair list of American shows that have yet to be picked up by a UK Broadcaster, hopefully someone will get behind them and when they do I will be posting them here. So in no Particular Order here are the shows I most want to come to the UK soon:

Hart of Dixie
Once upon a time
Revenge
The Lying Game
Ringer
Up all Night
The Secret Circle
Body Of Proof
Suburgatory
Last man standing
Grimm
I hate My Teenage Daughter
Switched at Birth

Going Up and Going Down

As you know it is renewal or death season for our favourite shows again and i thought i would just give you a quick run down of all the shows that i am interested in. This may well change as the networks sort themselves out so keep checking back.

Okay so here are the renewed:

90210- This will definitely be returning for a fourth season and was announced quite early on, shame the network could not do that for One Tree Hill. We are currently finishing the third season in the next couple of weeks.



Glee- This was renewed ages ago and although we have yet to finish the second season here in the UK you can be sure they will be back for more.

Gossip Girl- This will be finishing in the next couple of weeks and the next season looks good to go but the season after that does not look so good, as a lot of the cast have talked about moving on and they are no longer under contract.

Parenthood- This show is only just starting in the UK but was a big success in the states and they have managed to get a third season. Well done guys, i love you!

Pretty Little Liars- Okay so i have only seen  the first half of the first season because Viva are being really annoying but it has been renewed and will be back on abcfamily this summer.




The Secret Life of The American Teenager: Okay so I have really gotten into this show but i am not very far along yet, i am still trying to catch up but it looks awesome and obviously it is because the third season will finish in a couple of weeks but it has already been renewed for a fourth season.


Southland- Okay so i have only seen the first season of this but hopefully it will be coming back for more now that it has been renewed in the states for a fourth season.

True Blood- Okay so I am still catching up on this but it has been renewed for a fourth season which will be airing in the next month or so, so keep your eyes peeled.

The Vampire Diaries- This one will be coming back for more for definite, and has been renewed for the third season.

The Good Wife- Okay so i am still only on the first season but it is a cert that this will be back for a third season.


Melissa and Joey (abcfamily)- They will be returning for a second season real soon, at the end of next month i think.

Heartland- Okay so I know that this show is only just showing the second season in the UK but there is much much more to come as they have just started to film season 5.



Nikita- After milking the decision for all its worth they have finally confirmed the renewal for the second season.

One Tree Hill- Although the eighth season has yet to be aired in the UK they have finally been confirmed for another season.
















Maybes:

Make it or Break it- This will just finish the current season on E4 next week but abcfamily is already showing the next season so that one is good for at least another season. But things are not looking so good for the third season especially with one of the stars having left the show at the end of season 2.

Desperate Housewives looks like it should do well and come back for what is it now? the EIGHTH season, we are only just on the second half of season seven here but I think it should be back for more and more and more....

The Mentalist- they would be crazy to canncel this but still nothing has been confirmed, so fingers crossed.

Hellcats- Okay so this has just finished its first season in the states and it is part way through here on MTV but I don't have MTV so I have yet to see it but i am looking forward to it.

Leverage- This has been renewed for season 4 previously in the year but season 5 is still unclear but i would not be surprised.







Its a Gonner: 


Life Unexpected- This is still listed on the CW site but the producer and cast have all moved on to other projects, also the fact that the second season was only shown in the afternoons here in the UK suggests even if it does come back it will be a record programme.





Brothers and Sisters- There were rumours about it coming back but it did not work out for them.

The Event- It's a gonner and it left us even more confused than we were watching it.

Human Target- They just managed a second season but their luck ran out when getting a third.







Newbies:

Switched at Birth- This is a  show on abcfamily and has not yet been picked up by anyone in the UK but it looks good. It is about yes you guessed it, two girls who were switched at birth and of course have now grown up in two totally different places and families but they are trying to work things out and get along.

The Nine Lives of Chloe King- This is a bit of a supernatural drama that abcfamily have come up with, kind of a younger cat woman from the trailers, this has also not been picked up by anyone in the UK but hopefully it will be, it looks good.



Charlie's Angels- This is a remake of the original TV show done by abc in America, it has yet to be picked up in the UK yet but i feel sure that it will be soon.

Suburgatory- This looks hilarious and it is on the abc in America which has made some of the best comedy TV shows. It has yet to be picked up in the UK but i hope it is:




Revenge: This looks hilarious and of course it stars the woman who played Rebecca in Brothers and Sisters so i am quite excited. Please please pick this up in the UK. Maybe More 4?



Once Upon a Time:
This is by the same people who made Lost so i am not completely sure but it looks interesting. What do you think?



Last Man Standing- This looks hilarious and i really hope it comes to the UK pretty damn soon:



Chalies Angels- Girl power! Okay so i don't think it is going to be amazing but it will be entertaining enough for an hour a week i think:



Apartment 23: Okay so it has got one of the girls from Gilmore Girls and it looks hilarious so i am happy, i will be watching when it moves overseas:



Awake: This looks amazing, and totally confusing but i will definitely be watching this when it gets picked up over here, although it kind of looks like it could be quite sad.



Grimm- This looks really good, i like the idea of real life and fairytales mixing together, i just hope that it is as good as it looks:


Franklin and Bash:
This looks hilarious! i really hope that TNT manage to get this to the UK soon, maybe 5*?


Breakout Kings: Okay so this looks really interesting, it does not look like other cop shows:



New Girl: This looks hilarious!



I hate my teenage daughter:

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.
