Gaius Charles "Friday Night Lights"
V.S.
Gaius Charles "Grey's Anatomy"
...If you ask me, he looks a bit more confident in his ability as a high school football star than a doctor.
Other than new actors making an appearance on Grey's, the season premiere was emotional, but expected. I think this season is gonna be pretty deep though! Which is what I like about Grey's: witty humor (usually provided by Drs. Yang and Torres), mixed with drama, passion, depression...everything that makes life worth living, right?! Every time a new season of Grey's starts, I am excited, but I also get a little paranoid that the show is one season closer to ending. Anyone who knows how in love I am with this show knows that I hold a special place in my heart for it. I've been watching this show since I was a senior in high school! I used to have a saying that the "Two G's" were the only consistent things in my life: God and Grey's Anatomy. Luckily one is omnipotent and works miracles, so maybe I can handle it if Grey's ever gets cancelled. Anyways, GREAT show as usual. A little cheesy, but that's what makes it worthwhile. Tune in on Thursdays at 9pm/8pm central, Thursdays on ABC for some real-life medical drama (oh come on all you doctors out there! Like you've never instructed a patient on how amputate their wife's leg under no anesthesia after they fell into a huge sinkhole that opened up in the middle of a city?! Pssh..rookies.)
Continuing on...
This past week was jam-packed with season premieres! Lucky for me, I was able to catch up on Friday night after it was raining so bad that I couldn't make it to the party I was trying to get to because my car started to make scary squealing noises and smoke while driving through flooded streets.
Elementary (10/9pm central, Thursdays, CBS), with bad-ass Charlie's Angel Lucy Liu and this dashing British man, Johnny Lee Miller (well, that doesn't sound British at all), was pretty intriguing. I have to say, I will more than likely keep watching. It is a modern spin on Sherlock Holmes, with Lucy Liu playing Sherlock's "sobriety companion", Watson, who accompanies him 24/7 as he is coming off his drug addiction. Heart-warming, I know. It's pretty similar to all those other mystery-solving shows, so if you're lacking one in your weekly line-up, I recommend adding this one in! Great soundtrack so far, featuring Lucy Liu doing her morning run to a song from one of V's fave bands (listen below). My only warning to you though is that at times it is a bit difficult to understand Sherlock's British accent, but he's a bloke worth looking at ;)
The Mindy Project (9/8pm central, Tuesdays, FOX) Pretty hilarious gal, that Mindy! I never really got into the Office when she was on it, but I have read excerpts from Mindy's autobiography and I knew I would enjoy this show. It's a 30 minute comedy, so you're pretty much guaranteed a few good belly-laughs, and you don't have to invest much time in it. I wouldn't expect any hard-hitting morals to the story or life lessons, though. Mindy has so much Girl Power in this show, which I like. Mindy and I are a lot alike, really! We're both just two young, funny women, trying to find the man of our dreams, kicking butt at being independent, always making people laugh (either with or at us, I haven't figured that one out yet), did I mention trying to find the man of our dreams? Guess we'll both just be hilarious workaholics until that happens!
"I'm a cute, fun Doctor-lady who works with two super hott Doctor-men!! Yeah!!"
And for the commentary I've been waiting to get to (and I'm sure you also may be looking forward to since it will be closer to the end of my T.V. show rant) REVENGE!! I decided I have to post about it before the season premiere tonight (9/8pm central, Sundays on ABC), so that way I could hook you in and make you so intrigued that you have to watch. I will try to keep it very short and sweet though, because not too many words need to be written to promote this show. I started watching it last season on a whim. I needed something different in my life. All I ever watched were comedies. It was time to get serious. Well, Revenge is seriously one of the best shows out there right now. It has drama, mystery, attractive actors, fighting, Girl Power scenes (there's me and that Girl Power again). Plus, it makes you thank your lucky stars that you aren't filthy rich and don't swim in your own wealth and greed inside a giant palace in the Hamptons...on second thought, I know a lot of people who would love that! But that's why I like to watch it. It's about Emily Thorne, totally interrupting that disgusting world and fighting for TRUTH! JUSTICE! and...the memory of her father who was wrongfully accused of mass murder, imprisoned, and then died in jail! Intense, right?!?! Watch tonight, and if you've never seen Revenge before, just check out this small clip from the Spring season finale. You'll be hooked.
MIND. BLOWN.
