Premiere Week
Well the official premiere week on TV started on Monday. Before premiere week started, the now defunct WB had their last night airing programs on Sunday night. They went with the pilots of some of their network's signature shows. I never watched Felicity and Dawson's Creek and I decided not to start. I did watch two of my favorite shows on the WB, Angel, and one of my favorite shows period, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The pilots for both shows held up well. If it hadn't have been for Buffy, I wouldn't have known that the WB even existed. I would advise the new CW to create a new show like Buffy to brand their network. Calling Mr. Whedon.
As for the shows that started this week. I enjoyed Studio 60. I'm not ready to call it the best new show to ever grace TV yet, but it had a good start. The best thing I can say about it that everyone in the cast did a good job, and I didn't roll my eyes once from the dialogue. I hope this show is as good as Sports Night (which I liked better than West Wing). The rest of the week was okay, even though until new episodes of Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars and Lost come on, I won't be killing myself to get to the TV. Gilmore Girls new episodes premieres next Tuesday, while Veronica Mars and Lost don't get started until October.
Finally on Thursday came the premieres I've been waiting on. My Name is Earl, The Office and Grey's Anatomy. Both Earl and Grey's Anatomy were good. I get a kick out of Joy; and watching her chase after the guy she accidently kidnapped with him in his underwear was hilarious. Grey's Anatomy picked up where they left off, which is a good thing and kind of a bad thing. Watching Meredith and McDreamy do their little dance around each other is beginning to bore me. I find the rest of the characters much more interesting. And Derrick, if you don't want Addison, pass her over her, I'd take her over Meredith any day of the week. The Office is in a catergory of its own. Since Arrested Development went off the air, it is the best comedy on TV and it again proved why last night. I laughed so hard during some of the show that I lost my breath. (Of course I'm just getting over a bad cold so I didn't have an excess of breath to begin with). The writing on this show gets sharper and sharper and everyone on this show is indispensable. I can only hope I'll see a scene as funny as Michael trying to kiss Oscar again this season. Steve Carrell better get that Emmy next year, you hear me Emmy people.
That is all. I might watch Desperate Housewives this Sunday, but I really grew to dislike that show last season after liking it so much its first year. I might tape it and watch it after the game just to see if it's any good now. I'll be back to complain about the Gilmore Girls. After last season, its on a short lease with me. Also the second season of the new Dr. Who is back next Friday. Can't wait for that, I want to see if the new 10th Doctor can hold a candle to the 9th Doctor. Later amigos.
