Keeps getting better

There are show every season that just sneak up on you and get under your skin until you realize you're hooked. I watched Brothers and Sisters the first time on a whim. Now I can't wait for Sundays. (And I have convinced the DVR to record it again!)

The road trip was fun. "Cliche this!" It was a little convenient when their problems were miraculously resolved but I think the money will cause more trouble down the line. Looks as if Holly is going to get a bit feisty next week.

Do you think Justin will have to go back? Do you think Kitty will change jobs? How soon 'til Kitty and Rob Lowe make other arrangements for keeping Justin out of the war? Whose baby is it? I know we'll never know and that was the point but I can't help thinking it will come up again.

Sunday's are still the best

I was stunned at the shooting on Desperate Housewives. I knew they wouldn't kill a main character, but I was still shocked. My first thought was how bad this is going to be for Lynette. Can you imagine the guilt? But then they showed that odd "she doesn't have nightmares anymore" dream sequence at the end so I don't know what to think.

Gabby and Carlos were a riot tearing apart the house. A little War of the Roses on Wysteria Lane.

I'm glad Susan's daughter finally yelled at her for not being a parent. Susan is a whiny pain in the ass.

Great episode though.

And guess what???

The damn DVR finally recorded Brothers and Sisters. I was starting to feel left out last night that I never met Tucker Booth. lol. Great writing on this show. I wish they wouldn't make the liberal guy a bad guy though. Let Kitty like him. I like him :)

Looking forward to Heroes tonight.

Is it something personal?

Why does my DVR hate this show? Why do I wake up every Monday morning eager for my Sunday shows only to find that Brothers and Sisters wasn't recorded again???

I checked it. It was all set. It was on the schedule. There weren't any conflicts. And then? Nothing.

For the record, my DVR apparently also hates How I Met Your Mother. I don't!!

At least I got to watch Desp. Housewives this morning. How I love all the manipulation. But Lynette, Lynette, Lynette. How could you fall for that? You're my hero. Wake up and see the hussy.

And Gabby? That was a bit cruel even for you. (Good thing the previews for next week seem to redeem you a bit!)

Revenge at a dinner party

I still think it's creepy that everyone wanted to get back in the pool. I'm not sure I would be diving in any time soon after my dad kicked off in there.

But the party was fun. Here I was still not quite liking Sally Field's character--still finding her simple, whiny and cloying. She was fixing up her brother with the mistress, touring the cute little house, cosying up to the mistress. And then--the dinner scene.

OMG! How much fun was that?? How great was it to see all of their faces when she announced that she had known all along. Finally, I love her character. She seems real now.

Kitty chose the right guy. Gah. That boyfriend of hers was slick and selfish and hello? TV guy is much hotter.

Love the brother and his new friend "the witness." fun fun fun.

did I not post this week?

Don't panic. It isn't as if I haven't been watching TV. I have! I have! I have not been working, cleaning or being sporty, honest!

Gray's Anatomy: Oh hell yes! She get's both. Could there be a better answer? I mean besides them getting all covered in something slick and wrasslin' it out for us? Dating. What a great idea. Yay for this show. Yay for lots of fun watching them date and watching the men "compete." Yay, also for Burke's dad who not only manages somehow to put up with Burke's mom (yikes!) but also gives a subtle attagirl to Cristina.

Dances with the Stars: I know that Jerry is the weakest dancer, but let's face it...he has throngs of fans voting for him every week. He's not leaving easily. That said, Harry needed to go. I loved Lisa last season but Harry was just stiff and awful and had this damn chip on his shoulder. Ew--and he had some weird fake orange-y tan thing going on the completed the Ken action figure package. Yuck. So he's outta here, my rule breakers stay, and I am looking forward to this week.

Desperate Housewives: Stupid ass Bree. You get what you deserve this time. Could you please like someone that isn't f-ing psycho? Please? And Lynette? How I love you? Drinking and setting up Nora with Carlos was priceless. Carlos and Gabbie's baby was the best twist so far this season. I don't like Susan and her new whiny, clingy guy. I get it. Mike will wake up. There will be a triangle. Just pick Mike and be done with it. He's hot, he puts up with her crap. He can fix stuff with his shirt off around the house. Just pick Mike!

Brothers and Sisters: Still giving this a try. This week was a little slower as they established back stories but it was still good. We'll keep with it a bit longer.

Watched the catchup episode of Lost. The voice-over guy bugged the hell out of me but after watching I am very excited to see the season premiere. Can't wait!!

Oh, TiVo will be working overtime this week since the playoffs start and my Mets will be there!!

and yet one more....

Another show that I will not be able to miss.

I watched Brothers and Sisters this afternoon. I don't know what to say about it except that I was drawn in immdediately to each of the characters. I am thrilled with the cast--Calista Flockheart, Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths. And so far I am intrigued by the storyline.

Anyone else watching?
