1) Chandler and Phoebe singing together=very cute.

It's Not What It Seems
The shows like One Tree Hill and The O.C. are entertaining for sure. But once in a while you have to ask yourself, why is lucas scott playing ball at the river court rather in a calculus class at Tree Hill high? Why is Seth Cohen playing Halo instead of learning how to conjugate spanish verbs? The answer is yet to be found.
The characters in Friends spend their days drinking coffee, hanging out, and (50% of them) shoe shopping. Shouldn't Ross be discovering dinosaur species, Joey acting, Monica cooking, Chandler doing whatever he does, and Phoeboe messaging strangers?-Which, by the way, couldnt possibly pay enough for her to live the life she does. Rachel is at work so little that I dont even know what she does. something at Bloomingdales/ Ralph Lauren, of course. But what?
In Will & Grace, Will is supposed to be a fairly successful lawyer. But the funny thing is, he rarley works. When he does, he seems to only have one client at a time. For example, Harlin Polk, the southern-talking, loud, bazillionare. Or, Stuart Lamarack, another bazillionare who became Jack's "long term" boyfriend. At the time will was handling these clients, he wasn't working for anyone else. If we took this further, we could say that will didnt have any other clients that we were aware of. Very unrealistic.
Television can be decieving. It more likley is than isn't. There always is a desire we have when watching a juicy episode of Gossip Girl, that life might actually be that way. That perhaps we can go have breakfast at Lukes Diner before school and not be terribly late. I would like a little less false hope from the television producers and a little more realism. Now, I'm definatley not talking about reality TV (because the last thing we need is more of that.) But come on, Lucas should put the basketball down and take out a peice of paper and pencil and do what a normal person does on a weekday.

Seriously, Are You On The List?: Grey's Antomy Versus Heroes
So about every weekend, my dad and I exchange episode watching. Basically, I watch an episode of an old TV show like The Avengers or Moonlighting and he watches an episode of a show I watch. We made it all the way through season 1 of Heroes and he decided he kind of liked it. You need to know my dad is a renowned geek. So naturally I thought a sci-fi show like Heroes would be something he would very much enjoy. Apparently I was wrong.
He started watching Grey's Anatomy season 1 with me and we have made it through 2 episodes. Iimmediately he loves it. He says it reminds him of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It has something to do with the fact that there is one big plot and several sub-plots in every episode. What ever. I spent a weekend with my dad and his friends from high school and college. One of which does nothing but watch television. This friend doesn't even watch Grey's Anatomy. That night, six 50-year-old men unanimously decided that Grey's Anatomy is a chick show. Two months later, my dad is looking forward to spending 45 minutes indulging in the stories of Meredith Grey.
Why is this? That my father enjoys an estrogen-filled lady show rather a comic book show that was practically made for him? Also I am wondering if this is the case with other fully grown pleasantly dorky men? Or is it just my dad? Either way, I love you dad. thank you for watching.

Captain Oats Saves the Pep Rally
Most episodes of The O.C. are more than enjoyable. But this episode (The Blaze of Glory) is one in particular that I would like to give a moment of praise. Reason #1: This is the episode that Marissa realizes she is not a lesbian, resulting in the much anticipated hope for her and Ryan's love reunion. Reason #2: This video clip...Captain Oats is a character we all know and love, its nice to see him get some spotlight. Reason #3: Seth and Summer are back together and back to their old routine...In the previous episode (entitled The Mallpisode) everything Summer says, Seth responds with "Aww that's so cute." Perhaps he forgot she was smart enough to save Christmakkah...?

One Tree Hill Bloopers (Very Funny)
Although I am a huge One Tree Hill fan, I thought this was hilarious! Mark Schwan isnt perfect.
Phoebe Halliwell's Scadalous Attire
While watching an episode of Charmed on TNT I realized (not for the first time) that Pheobe shows a LOT of skin. She wears corsets and bandanas and calls them shirts. Dont get me wrong, I think Pheobe is fabulous in every way. But, she seems to be confusing fashionable with trashy. Her clothing mishaps (along with her hair problems) seem to be concenrated around seasons six and seven.For example, note the diamond shaped cleavage. I believe that is unnessecary.
<-and here is some belly for you. why?
<- Lots of belly and very weird pants. p.s. does the outfit actually match?
<- Terrible bangs if i do say so myself
<- Okay, she is not showing skin, I'll admit. But honestly, what is that?
<- Need i say anything?

Friends Season 1
Some people think that the first season of a sitcom won't be as good as the later seasons. This theory makes sense considering in the first season of a show, you are still getting to know the characters and the show is just getting into it's groove. However, to my surprise, this is not the case with Friends. In the first scene of the show, the buddies are sitting in Central Perk conversing about their worst nightmares and such. Immediately, you feel comfortable with the characters due to the openness of the environment. Friends season 1 is filled with hilarity and should not be taken for granted. For this reason, I totally recommend that you not dismiss this great show season.
Hello World
I am new to blogging so I am not the most blog-savvy blogger (yes, I just over used the word 'blog' quite a bit...that shows you how much of a rookie I am.) I am a t.v. lover, so that is what I will be writing about. enjoy, comment, and let me know what you think.
