Coming to the UK...

Apartment 23 is from ABC and has been brought by E4, thank god, i love you E4 and i am really looking forward to this show!








E4 has also done well in my books by snapping up New Girl which looks hilarious from FOX.








There are still a lot of shows which are very much up in the air still but i will post here when i find out how and when they are coming to the UK.

What i am watching at the moment

Okay so lets start with the daytime sort of stuff,

Heartland 
Okay so we are now actually showing a new season of this on E4 and it just keeps getting better and better. I think it is season four now and i don't know how it is going to get better anymore. You can also now watch this on 4OD.


Gilmore Girls
Season 2 is now showing around again and Jess is my main focus, i love this season because we actually get to see Rory doing something which isn't perfect like everything else she does.

Numb3rs
It's nearly over we are in season 6 now and i have to say i am going to miss it, although luckily for me i joined this show quite late on so i still have some catching up to do with the earlier seasons.

The Guardian 
Okay so this has just started to reshow during the daytime, well 6pm and i love it!

Brothers and Sisters 
Okay so they are reshowing episodes again from just about when i got bored last. Channel 4 at some horrible time in the morning- mi  press record.

One Tree Hill
E4 is now showing all the old series in the morning, i tend to record it because i am not usually up at 6am and we are showing the start of season 3, in fact one of my fave characters has just turned up, Rachel. It is also now showing season 8 Monday nights at 9 although i tend to watch it at 10 on E4+1.







Franklin and Bash
Okay so this is one of E4's new one's and i wasn't hoping for much but i have to say this show has really delivered, it is just finishing up the season in the US so i hope it gets a season 2 pretty quickly, i am going to miss those guys.

Leverage 
Okay so i have got back into Leverage again and i have completely forgotten why i gave up on it, it is just amazing, i will be watching this near constantly for the next couple of days as i have a lot to catch up with, i'm only on season 2.

Beaver Falls
Okay so this is a new British comedy Drama and i have to say it is pretty good, i have only seen the first two episodes but think it bodes well. I know on the outside it just looks like another annoying drama were the guys talk about sex and wander after girls but i think it is going to go a bit deeper. They are all relatively unknown actors on this show but they are really good at their characters.
Here is the trailer:


I cannot wait for the next episode of this, i think this is going to go down as one of the best drama's home-made from E4.

Degrassi: The next generation
Okay so I love this show but i am only part way through season 5 so I have a lot of catching up to do, luckily I have the whole summer.

Dirty Sexy Money
Okay so this is another of the originals from Channel 4 and is better than most. The film crew basically follow around eight models and then they all come together for a photo shoot together at the end of each episode with the photographer which brought them altogether.. There are a lot of great pictures, interviews and gossip on this show. It is a real look into the modelling industry from the models point of view.

Torchwood
Okay so i am a little disappointed with this season, I don't want to offend but the American twist just does not work for me, although i am quite intrigued by the whole plot line.

Castle
Okay so Castle has just finished showing the first season on channel 5 i cannot wait for the next season.


The Secret Life Of The American Teenager
Okay so they are now showing the 4th season in the US and i am completely obsessed. I know that the show gets a lot of rap for portraying teenagers they way it does but if you don't take it too serious you should enjoy it.



Rookie Blue
I have started to watch Rookie Blue again and i love it more than last time. I am now part way through season 2.

Okay so i thought i would do a post on all the films and movies i have been watching this summer. As ussual in the UK this summer has been pretty miserable weather wise and so when my friend offered me her friends pass to LoveFilm with three months free i jumped at the chance. First i really couldn't decide what i wanted and so i let them choose for me which meant i ended up with some really bad titles no one had ever heard of but then i started to compile my list and found there were lots of films i had missed out on and so they started coming. I am not going to cover them all in here because that would take too long but just a few of my fave's to get you started.

Okay here goes:

Butterfly on a Wheel
Release date: 28 April 2008 (UK DVD)
Cast: Gerard Butler, Maria Bello, Pierce Brosnan
Synopsis: A perfect family's dynamic is ruined by a kidnapper's brutally efficient plot.
Trailer:

Verdict: Okay I really wasn't sure about this movie at the start but it really grew on me, it kept me guessing till the end, you will not guess this ending till the very end, I can pretty much guarantee that you will have no idea what is happening but the ending is amazing.

The Butterfly Effect

Release date: 16th April 2004 (UK)
Cast: Ashton Kutcher, Amy Smart, Melora Walters
Synopsis: A young man blocks out harmful memories of significant events of his life. As he grows up, he finds a way to remember these lost memories and a supernatural way to alter his life.
Trailer:

Verdict: Okay so this was another weird one and even though a lot of the time Ashton Kutcher annoys me in this he didn't, i actually believed his character. The other roles were very good and the whole story seemed to flow really nice. This is not a late evening filler, there is a lot going on you have to pay a bit more attention than you usually would to films. 

The Secret Life of Bees

Release date: 5th December 2008 (UK)
Cast: Dakota fanning, Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, Hilarie Burton
Synopsis: Set in South Carolina in 1964, this is the tale of Lily Owens a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother. To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father, Lily flees with Rosaleen, her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters, Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping.
Trailer:

Verdict: Okay so i really loved this movie, the characters were all totally believable, the storyline kept you guessing and of course the thing which brought it all together, the casting. Overall 10/10/

The Deathly Hallows part 1
Release Date: 19th November 2010
Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, Tom Felton, Jason Isaacs
Synopsis: As Harry races against time and evil to destroy the Horcruxes, he uncovers the existence of three most powerful objects in the wizarding world: the Deathly Hallows
Trailer: 

Verdict: Okay so i know i really should have seen this already and i kept meaning to but i never got around to it. It was amazing and it stayed close enough to the book to keep me, the books biggest fan happy. I don't think they could have done it any better.


Inception

Release date: 16th July 2010
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page
Synopsis: In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job to date: Inception.
Trailer:

Verdict: Okay so this was another of those clever ones, I spent at least the first ten minutes completely confused but after that things seemed to make a lot more sense and I could actually follow the story.


The Blind Side

Release date: 26th March 2010
Cast: Sandra Bulock, Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron
Synopsis: The story of Michael Oher, a homeless and traumatized boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring woman and her family.
Trailer:

Verdict: I am a huge fan of Sandra Bullock and I wasn't sure about the trailer for this but as soon as i started this movie, just the first five minutes an i was hooked. This is one of those really feel good movies.




Quantum of Solace

Release date: 31st October 2008 (UK)
Cast: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Gemma Arterton
Synopsis: Seeking revenge for the death of his love, secret agent James Bond sets out to stop an environmentalist from taking control of a country's valuable resource.
Trailer:

Verdict: Okay so I know it is another of those movies I really should have already seen but I am really glad I waited. This is one of the best bond movies I have to say mainly because of Daniel Craig.


Tamara Drewe

Release date: 10th September 2010
Cast: Gemma Arterton, Luke Evans, Dominic Cooper
Synopsis: A young newspaper writer returns to her home town in the English countryside, where her childhood home is being prepared for sale.
Trailer:

Verdict: Okay so this is probably the best of the films i have gotten from this so far, it is so rare that you get a completely British cast in a British Film, filmed in Britain and for it to be GOOD! It was just the right amount of comedy and seriousness, it kind of reminded me of  Keeping Mum.


Role Models
Release date: 9th January 2008
Cast: Paul Rudd, Seann William Scott, Jane Lynch
Synopsis: Wild behaviour forces a pair of energy drink reps to enroll in a Big Brother program.
Trailer:

Verdict: Okay so I really wan't sure that I would like this film and that it would be just too cringe worthy but actually i think they pulled it off well, the cast was excellent and the storyline left little to be desired.

Marley and Me
Release date: 11th March 2009
Cast: Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston
Synopsis: A family learns important life lessons from their adorable, but naughty and Neurotic dog.

Trailer:

Verdict: This was hilarious, and sad and everything a family is when it is together, I loved it.


Chalet Girl 
Release Date: 16th March 2011 (UK)
Cast: Felicity Jones, Ed Westwick, Bill Nighy
Synopsis: Pretty tomboy Kim Matthews, 19, used to be a champion skateboarder - but now she's stuck in a dead end job trying to support her Dad. Opportunity comes knocking in the form of a catering job in the one of the most exclusive chalets in the Alps. At first, Kim's baffled by this bizarre new world of posh people, champagne and skiing - but then she discovers snowboarding, and the chance to win some much-needed prize money at the big end-of-season competition. But before she can become a champion again, Kim's going to have to dig deep to overcome her fears. Hard enough, without the complicating factor of Jonny, her handsome - though spoken for - boss...
Trailer:

Verdict: Okay so this was kind of another of those romantic comedies but this was better, mainly because of the amazing cast.




Monte Carlo 
Release Date: 21st October 2011 (UK)
Cast: Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy
Synopsis: Three young women vacationing in Paris find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.
Trailer:


Verdict: Okay so this film is kind of like any other girly body swap/ mistaken identity chick flick film so if you don't like that type of thing stay clear but i happen to love that kind and so i think this was one of the best (minus the fake British accent).

Fall Line Up US dates only

Okay also i thought i would do a little run down of all the new shows appearing on our TV screens soon. 

Okay so lets try and do this in date order:

Lying Game August 15th ABC Family

Okay so i wasn't sure whether to put this in the fall line up or not because it is kind of depressing to think of August as Fall but oh well, i thought it really needed a mention. Okay so it is based around two twin sisters who were seperated at birth and then found each other, just in time for one to be kill. (Yeah i know!) Okay so aside from the obvious flaws i think this looks really good, mainly because it has Balir Redford in it. (Hot fake english guy from 90210). I am hoping this will come to the UK soon, i am thinking that it will probably be a E4 thing or maybe MTV, i don't know but i am looking forward to it. 

See for yourself:

Ringer  September 13th CW 9pm
Okay so i was never really a fan of Buffy, mainly because i didn't really know about it until it was finished and then there didn't seem much point but i love the look of Sarah Michelle Gellar in this. It looks like they have really done well in the supernatural dramas tghis fall, well done CW, i might just forgive you for getting rid of LUX. Anyway enough of this here is a quick peek:

90210 September 13th CW 8pm
Okay so it is back with season 4 and they are all off in college, hopefully happy but then it is 90210 so probably nit, anyway i am looking forward to this season, it should be a bit of a change of pace, although hopefully a good one, i may switch off if the first thing we see is Ivy miserable because her new husband died on her.
The Promo is finally here take a look:

Parenthood September 13th NBC 10pm
Okay so we have just finished the first season in the UK and i am happy to hear that it will be back with a third season in the US. I love this show and i don't think they could do any wrong in my eyes really.
Like with most returning shows they have not released a trailer but it will be here as soon as they do.

Up All Night September 14th NBC 8pm 
Now this show is all about a couple who have just had their first baby and their take on their new lives. Personally i think it looks hilarious and cannot wait for it to get over here. I think it will probably come to 5* over here and i hope it is soon. Here is a preview:

Free Agents September 14th NBC 8.30pm 
Okay so this looks like it could be hilarious. I love Hank Azaria and i think he is hilarious. It will be good to see him in a comedy like this. 
See:

The Secret Circle September 15th CW 9pm 
Okay so this looks like it could either be really good, or really really bad. This is the answer to the cancellation of LUX, especially because it has Britt Robinson in it. It is yet again another supernatural drama from The CW i just hope they actually manage to pull this off, because it could be really good. I am thinking this will be an ITV2 pick up. (hopefully).

The Vampire Diaries September 15th CW 8pm 
Okay so TVD will be back for their third season and i have to say that the promo looks epic, i don't really know where they are going to go with these storylines but either way i think it will be even better than last season. See:

2 Broke Girls Sepetmber 19th CBS
Okay so this show is all about two waitresses who are completely broke, one who has always been and one who lost her fortune. I have to say that this could go either way really, either an excellent light hearted comedy, or an annoyingly fake sick joke kind of predictable thing. Either way it will probably end up on our screens in the UK through 5*.

Castle season 4 September 19th ABC
Okay so Castle is back on our screens soon enough, which is a good thing to know considering i am loving the first season which is showing at the minute on channel 5.




New Girl September 20th FOX
Okay so this is a new comedy brought to you by FOX. It is a hilarious show all about a you girl who after finding out about her boyfriends cheating decides to move in with three guys. It is hilarious just watching them in the trailer, if the show is as good as that then we are all good, check out the trailer:

Glee September 20th FOX 8pm 
Okay so Glee is back with its third season this fall and i have to say i am looking forward to it, of course as we know in the UK they are showing this coming season on Sky and i am guessing that they will not want to be that far behind the US.

Body of Proof September 20th ABC 10pm 
Now I have yet to see the first season of this show but I loved the look of it so I am putting the second season in this list. It is still lead by the ex housewife, who I have to say seems to be doing better than other ex housewives. They have yet to release a trailer but I will add it when it hits the internet.

Revenge September 21st ABC 10pm 
Revenge is a new drama offered up by ABC. It is headed up by Emily Van Camp (Brothers and sisters) as a rich newbie in a town full of wealth, beauty and revenge. The trailer does not give much away but it still looks pretty awesome. See:

Charlies Angels September 22nd ABC
Okay so this is ABC's remake of the original classic, I have to say it looks pretty awesome but i'm not sure whether it will make it over here, there doesn't seem to be enough story. I dunno.




The Mentalist 22nd September ABC 10pm
Simon Baker is back for season 4 after killing "red John" now I'm not sure that he has killed him because otherwise we have kind of lost focus on the show but it will be interesting to find out.

Nikita September 23rd CW 8pm 
Okay so Nikita will be back with their second season at the end of September.



Desperate Housewives September 25th ABC 9pm 
Okay so I have yet to finish the second half of the last season but they are already back for more and i will catch up, i promise. I will add a trailer when it comes out.

Heart of Dixie September 26th CW 9pm 
Okay so this is a brand new show coming to the CW this fall, i am really excited about this show, it has been too long since we saw Rachel Bilson on our TV screens and i think this show is a perfect fit for her. So it is all about a doctor who after having trouble at work, moves to the country and of course lives happily ever after, i don't know, something like that. Anyway here is the trailer:

Gossip Girl September 26th CW 8pm 
Okay so after all the drama they left us with the end of the last season I cannot wait for the next season to start but because they love to tease us it is one of the last to start up in the fall, they have yet to even release a trailer. ITV2 ussually manages to get in there pretty quickly.

Yay finally we have a promo:

Suburgatory September 28th ABC 8.30pm 
Okay so i am still not sure about this show but i will put it on here anyway. i'm thinking that by the time it gets to the UK it is going to be a 5* thing.

Last Man Standing October 11th ABC 8pm 

Okay so i am giving this a chance because ABC atre really good at family comedy dramas, it kind of reminds me of 8 simple rules, that is why i am giving it a chance.

Grimm October 21st NBC 9pm
This show is all about fairytales and them basically coming to life, i really llike the idea of this, probably even more than i will like this show. I am thinking this will probably end up on channel 4.

Once Upon a Time October 23rd ABC 8pm 
This is another fairytales coming true kind of programme, this looks kind of the weaker of the two in my opinion but i will give it a go. Here is the trailer:

I Hate My Tennage Daughter November 23rd  FOX 9.30pm

Okay so this looks hilarious, i cannot wait for this one, it kind of has a melissa and joey kind of vibe and i love that show so i am hoping good things. I think this will probably get onto E4 maybe but it will be one of those delayed programmes so you may have to wait a bit in the UK.

There are other shows which i am excited about but they have yet to announce when they will be showing. When they are announced i will add more details and the trailers:

Scandal ABC

Work it ABC

Apartment 23 ABC

Good Christian Belles ABC

Body of Proof ABC

Are you there Vodka, its me Chelsea NBC

One Tree Hill 1/8
