One Month Late, But Nice Anyway

Though it was over a month ago, I can't help thinking about the array of season finales that I saw this year. Nearly all of them ended cheerfully.

One Tree Hill's season was rumored to end with Peyton pulling a Padme and dying during childbirth. OTH surprised viewers with not only Peyton living, but the baby living, and Peyton, Lucas and baby girl, Sawyer Brooke, driving away into the distance in their newly fixed up Comet. Now I, for one, am overjoyed that the new bride will live to see another day. Also, that Brooke finally opened up her heart and let Julian in by showing up on the set of his movie and proclaiming her love. Chase told Mia he would wait for her and Nathan made the NBA and Haley really didn't have much of a story line to resolve at that point in time. So, all's good!

The main delirious thing about Gossip Girl's finale that had me squealing with delight was Chuck and Blair getting together, FINALLY! It was an epic afternoon that Blair was walking home to find chuck leaning against his limo, outside her apartment. With him he had many gifts including chocolate truffles and foreign pantyhose. After an entire season of waiting, Chuck told Blair "I love you."
The two kissed and Blair said, "Say it two times," Chuck kissed her again. "Seriously."
Chuck said, "I love you."
He kissed her again.
"I love you."
Kiss.
"I love you."
Kiss .
"I love you."
Kiss. And so on.

The fifth season of The Office ended with a volleyball game in which Pam was a star. Unfortunatley, Pam sprains her ankle and Corporate demands Jim take her to the hospitol. At the hospitol, the doctor tell Pam she's pregnant. There is a heartfelt embrace shared between Jim and Pam, that brought the biggest smile to my face, you couldn't imagine. Then I thought, Oh, wait a minute, they're not married yet....WHATEVER! YAY!

Unfortunatley, Grey's Anatomy was not all that cheerful. The possibility that either George or Izzie dies is depressing to say the least. Clearly though, if you live in the real world, you know that T.R. Knight will be leaving the show (for reasons unclear to anyone) and Kathrine Heigl will not. But in all honesty, being run over by a bus and turned into a blob is really not something you can come back from. Bummer.

Grey's Premiere

Last Thursday, Rose decided to move to another branch of the hospitol, MerDer decided to move in together (finally), and Cristina got herself a new and mysterious love interest. It was a...Mediore..? episode. There was not much suspense besides Cristina getting jabbed in the stomache with a icicle. But, hey, that happens all the time at Seattle Grace. Alex seemed to be having some masculinity issues. Izzie reminiced a bit about Denny (Eww) and might have a small crush on Alex again. In closing, the Cheif is going hard core after having hte hospitol score number 12 on some top 100 list online. Not a particularly exciting two hours.

Full House; Then and Now

Remember Kimmy Gibbler? Michelle? Joey? Danny? DJ? Whatever happend to the lovable actors portraying our cute and funny characters?

Lori Loughlin
She played Becky, the co-host of Wake Up San Francisco and wife to Jesse Katsopolis. Now, Lori Loughlin is Debbie Wilson, Mother to Annie and Dixon. She lives in Beverly Hills and has the specific of 90210.

Candace CameronCandace Cameron Bure was then, DJ Tanner. Now the most exciting thing she has accomplished is an appearance on a random TV episode here and there and a couple mediocre TV movies. Oh, and I beleive there was a Bill Nye the Science Guy episode a few years back. I'm gonna take a guess and say, Candace isn't quite intrested in the spotlight anymore. A darn shame? Not reallly, I doubt she's being missed.

Bob Saget Then, Danny Tanner, single father to DJ, Stephanie and Michelle. Lived with these three daughters and two other middle-aged men, like himself. You can see how he would have trouble dating. These days he is best known as the host of America's Funniest Home Video's and perhaps as the older Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother.

Jodie Sweetin portayed Stephanie Tanner for 8 years. Since then she appeared in two episodes of Party of Five, Yes, Dear and minute roles in two not-well-known movies. She now has a newborn baby as of April 12 this year.

Gossip Girl Season Premiere

On September 1st we were greeted once again by a favorite guilty pleasure, Gossip Girl.

The voice of Kirsten Bell returned with tons of juicy scandals. What with Dan playing the field, Nate doing the dirty with a married woman, and Blair's new boyfriend sporting a particular heart-shaped pin on his sleeve. Jenny however has taken a break from the dating life. She's decided to focus more on her sewing where she has an internship with a top designer. J Humphrey even patched things up with Eric. Together, they attended "The White Party (sponsored by Vitamin Water)" to which, Jenny wore a dress she designed. It was a hit!

Fortunately, Serena and Dan made up as well and are happily back together. Unfortunatley, Blair and Chuck are not, due to Chuck not being able to say those three short words. He got out the first one "I...I-I..." Some how his lips just couldn't form the words"love you." Dumbass. (Plus his hair looked terribble!)

One Tree Hill Season Premiere

OTH season 6! The first episode was nail-biting. It began with a dream sequence of Lucas's. His imagining what life would be like married to each Brooke, Peyton and Lindsay. He awoke, and we find out that it was Peyton he called asking for her hand in marriage! She accepted and together, they flew to Vegas. They stayed in a hotel room with a mirror on the ceiling and decided that a wedding with Elvis as their witness was just not right. In closing, they returned to the place that Lucas proposed the first time, four years ago. This happy couple had a sweet storyline.

Last season's finale ended in Dan dramatically being hit by a car. But now who was it that picked his unstable body up off the street and put him in a hospital bed? None other than Nanny Carrie! After he was stabilized, she stole him from the hospital and drove him to an unidentified house. She commenced in torturing him over and over. I think myself and other viewers, for once, felt sympathetic toward Dan. Every time there was a scene with the two of them, I cringed and wanted to hide under a blanket like a 6-year old.

Millicent decided to move with Mouth in order to be together. Brooke gave her blessing and everything. At the end of the episode, when Brooke was closing up the store, somebody in a dark mask broke in and completely tackled Broke and beat her. It was intense, frightening and a bit shocking considering Brooke never gets hurt. Unlike every other character on the show, they have all been hospitalized.

The icing on the cake was Q teaching Jamie some hip-hop moves! Then, Jamie teaching the dance to Haley!

Not Our Generation. Not the Best. Not Too Bad.

If you've taken notice to my lack of posting lately; observant move. And to you and myself, I would like to say, "Welcome Back!....Kotter." Welcome Back Kotter, a 1970's primetime TV show that I have had the pleasure[?] of watching a bit of recently.

Gabe Kotter, a 30-something-year-old alumni, returns to his home town to teach a class at his old high school. The students in his class call themselves 'The Sweathogs' due to the fact that they are not ambitious or 'smart'. The kids goof off and make jokes and mock people and on many occasion, tell Mr. Kotter to stick a rubber hose up his nose. Honestly, it is not the highest quality show, and the actors (including John Travolta at the age of 20) are not the best. Shamefully, it makes me laugh. Shamefully, I like it. Shamefully, I cared enough to look it up on IMDB.com. In duing so, I came to the conclusion that I am not the only one who thinks Kotter is worth it, because IMDB gives it a rating of 7.2 out of 10.

What Ever Happend To Baby Trever?

The very first episode of Desperate Housewives, Edie refers to Mrs. McCluskey watching her son because Edie herself would be "entertaining" a man friend. Later in the episode, Edie's house burned down. The entire neighborhood stood outside behind the yellow caution tape surrounding the ash that was once a home. One of the concerned neighbors were Mrs. McCluskey, without a small boy who could have presumably been Edie's son.

After that episode, viewers did not see or hear about this kid. Until, two seasons later, eleven-year-old Trever came into the picture. He was the son of Edie's that she used to lure Carlos into liking her. (No, that's not a bad reason to have a child at all.) Supposedly Trevor lives with his dad, but I find it flawed that a main character has a son, whom, for two years she neglected to show us.
