Season Finales Catch-up - How I Met Your Mother

Again, this show, while it doesn't have as much zingers as it should (and if they do, usually come out of Neil Patrick Harris' mouth), has still quickly grown into a comforatble watch throughout the season. It still needs to grow a lot more before it becomes the so called next Friends, but I do want to hang out with this gang everyweek. Except, how have we gone through 22 episodes to return back to the beginning with Ted back wooing Robin? I remember it was a fun ride inbetween but what happened? Has it already been one season?

On the otherhand, much as Pam and Jim did on The Office, kinda nice to finally get "it" out of the way so we can move on. The nice twist? To balance off the (doomed) romantic sweetness of Ted and Robin with the heartbroken Marshall as Lily goes off to San Francisco to satisfy her (he)art desires. Amy Acker and Alyson Hannigan's real life husband Alexis Denishof (and all of the Angel/Buffy alumni) was a bonus.

Season Finales Catch-up - Grey's Anatomy, Bones

Okay, I'm WAY behind, but finally caught the last half of the Grey's Anatomy finale to finish it off, and while I didn't burst into tears like everyone told me I would because they did, it was still a good finish to a great season (that wobbled for the last few episodes). Apparently Heigl is still signed on for next year, which means she will be back, and McSteamy (Eric Dane) has been signed for the whole season, as well as Addison, and Sara Ramirez will apparnetly join the main cast.

Bones had a nice little twist, though does EVERY show need a twist now to end the season finale? Like that Loren Dean plays Bones' brother. What happened to him? He and Gretchen Mol were supposed to be the next big thing about 10 years ago and then both disappeared.

Anyways, still catching up with Alias, How I met your Mother, New Christine, ER, etc. etc. etc...

Everwood - Goodbye, Love

Goodbye, Love is right, as Everwood will finish off next Monday with its' Series Finale at the height of it's creative best. Last nights ep basically eulogized/recapped all the main stories after Irv's death, and prepared us for the final wrap up that comes all together next week, and again, it showcased why this show has become so brilliant, in its simplistic and realistic touches between comedic hilarity and tear jerking moments (I counted at least 5 last night where I teared up). At least with its cancellation, it is going out on top, much like Arrested Development did.

NBC blinked

Grey's Anatomy move to Thurdays at 9pm really scared NBC didn't it?

Also, STILL catching up with my TV so I'm way behind, and anyways, Everwood doesn't end until June 5th. So will post the 2005-2006 TV Season wrap up after that, including best of this season, and eulogies to the dearly departed (Arrested Development, Love Monkey, Kitchen Confidential etc.)

Everwood - Reckoning

You've heard me rapt wonderment and devotion to Everwood, but now more than ever, as this show closes shop after 4 seasons, I must still note how awesome this show is, and how a family drama can still surprise, enthrall, enlighten, and cause hand-on-mouth shock still, as the final moments of this week's episode caused me to do. And not a murder, Hanso Foundation, twisted mystery in sight, but simply more daily living in Everwood, CO.

The American Idol - Teddy Geiger in Concert at The Opera House

Who knew when I got the tickets for Teddy Geiger on the final performance night that I was actually not going to care anymore about American Idol despite it being the best roundup of contestants of any year?

Soul Patrol vs. Katharine (or the really, as EW said, anybody but Taylor camp)? You all know I despise the Michael Bolton sound-a-like but I think he's going to win.
Meanwhile, Teddy Geiger just had to show up to illicit the screams from the throngs of teenage girls. The fact that he could play keyboards, the guitar and sing in tune live was just icing. If only they could get rid of the wretched opening act Dirty Blonde, the show would have been perfect.
