*WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*
So I admit it. I can’t stop watching Glee. Well, skimming through it, really. I just like watching it for the music. The problem I’m having with it is all the side drama is too…not interesting. Yes, the wife is a bitch. Yes, the cheerleading coach is also a bitch. And yes, poor Ken is pathetic and wants to marry the OCD guidance counselor who wants to sleep with Mr. Shu who’s wife is the bitch. We have established all of this in episode One. The only new development is Quinn’s pregnancy which is now also old news. Please give us something more, Glee! I will continue to skim through your show and only watch the songs if you don’t stop giving us bland entertainment!
I love NCIS. Did I mention that? I feel like I have. This week, the mystery was new, it was unpredictable, and most importantly, we have character development…something the writers of Glee need to study up on. I can’t tell you what I liked about the show because I don’t want to give the whole thing away, but I have to say, McGee’s little crush thingy was really cute. It showed his sex appeal which sometimes is shadowed by Tony’s testosterone displays. Cannot wait until next episode!! Ziva is going to shed some light on her mysterious months away.
NCIS: Los Angeles has gotten fractionally better. The case was a smudge more interesting but I feel like the writers are still testing out their sea legs. Hullo! We need to be able to see how you come to the conclusion you come to! The result can’t pop up out of the blue! Yes, I knew the one guy was bad, but I had no idea the extent of badness and I didn’t believe it, either. Besides, inserting the Middle Eastern dude three quarters of the way through to trigger the team into thinking about who it may have been is CHEATING! If none of that makes sense, check out the episode on CBS just so you know what NOT to do when writing a series. Great learning material. I have hope, though. Chris O’Donnell is carrying the show but I think LL Cool J is going to step it up.
Bones never disappoints. Again, another character development display of mastery. *SPOILER ALERT!!!!*We find out that the Middle Eastern dude doesn’t have an accent. Something that small totally changed my views of the guy. Not to mention, for some reason, dropping the accent makes him look soooo much hotter. And Parker is growing up, looking as cool as ever. He’s totally going to be a trigger getting Bones and Booth together in the future. I feel it. I just wish the baby subject would come back up!!! COME ON, DR. BRENNAN!!! Have Booth’s baby!!!
And that does it for my TV update! Until next week!

TV Guide: Have you been watching?
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
I admit it. I’ve given up on the vampire diaries after two episodes. I dont know why the drama doesn’t appeal to me anymore. After the first episode, I was so excited. After episode two, I was like “YOU’RE SO STUPID!!! THE FOG IS SO SYMBOLIC IT’S SLAPPING YOU IN THE FACE!!”
I have officially declared Vampire Diaries a Netflix show which I shall only watch after an entire season is complete
Bones is more entertaining, however, the fact that the writers dropped the whole baby subplot from last season made me a little pissy. Why can’t Bones and Booth just get it on? Just once? That would make me feel a bit better. The layers added to their relationship from the mishap last season keep me thoroughly intrigued, though. I’m content.
NCIS is AMAZING. It just gets better and better. Ziva is scarred, Gibbs is more humanized, and Abby had a pissy moment. McGee is more of a man and Tony is more serious. How can I not love it? Amaaaazingness! This is the crazy obsessive show that I will be continuously blogging about.
NCIS: Los Angeles, despite all the hype, has not really captured my attention thus far. I think the producers did a good job at putting it right after NCIS, but the actual cases have thus far been predictable and stupid. The woman who is supposed to be the NCIS: LA version of Ducky is annoying while LL Cool J looks like he’s been poppin one too many steriod pills. We’ll see how this holds up, I guess.
Glee has also disappointed me a bit. Now the chastity club president is preggo? Exactly when Mr. Shu’s wife needs to adopt a baby? Mhm. I wonder where this is going. The good news is, the singing is fabulous and keeps getting better. Keep singing, Glee cast! That’s why all of us are watching!
So to conclude, I think NCIS and Bones are the shows I’m really going to stick with throughout the semester, but Glee is a Hulu.com show which I can watch when I have absolutely nothing else to do, while Vamp Diaries is for Netflix. NCIS: LA is an eh show that I will watch only if it’s on and I have nothing better to do.
So that’s my TV round up! More to come soon!
