<description><![CDATA[Show: Samantha Who? Character: Samantha Newly Played Oh-So-Winningly By: Christina Applegate In a Nu]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://veryspecialepisode.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/071112_christina-applegate_vlg_3p-widec.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1769 alignleft" title="071112_Christina-Applegate_vlg_3p.widec" src="http://veryspecialepisode.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/071112_christina-applegate_vlg_3p-widec.jpg" alt="" width="298" height="419" /></a><strong>Show:</strong> <em>Samantha Who?</em></p>
<p><strong>Character: </strong>Samantha Newly</p>
<p><strong>Played Oh-So-Winningly By:</strong> Christina Applegate</p>
<p><strong>In a Nutshell: </strong>There are two Samantha Newly&#8217;s, actually. The first is who Sam used to be-  the selfish, bitchy, cutthroat 30 year-old vice president of a real estate company who lives to torment the little people who deign to live at her feet. Fortunately, for all of mankind, that Sam suffers a hit-and-run accident and then retrograde amnesia, forcing her to start living with a clean slate. Without all the hang-ups that led her to be the world&#8217;s biggest bully, Sam is now as sweet and guileless as can be (though not as &#8220;special&#8221; as that photo on the left would suggest), with the occasional horrifying flash of her old self. As the (short-lived. I hate you, ABC) series progresses, Sam is faced with more and more memories and constantly struggles with being the kind of good person she wants to be, all while traces of her old selfishness and vanity keep popping up at every turn. Along for the ride are her long-suffering ex-boyfriend/roommate Todd, old friend Dena who is well-meaning but exactly that type of woman you avoid at the dog park, her best friend Andrea (who <em>loved </em>the old, bitchy Sam), and her awesomely hilarious parents Howard and Regina (Jean Smart, who is on the list &#8220;Actors Who Should Star in Absolutely Everything&#8221;). Oh, and her doorman Frank who absolutely reviles her after years of brutal mistreatment from the old Sam.</p>
<p><strong>Why We&#8217;ll Never Forget (Too much?)</strong>: Oh, SAM. A high-concept like this could&#8217;ve been such a disaster but <em>Samantha Who</em>? made it work. A lot of that credit goes to the strong writing and the fantastic supporting characters but don&#8217;t underestimate Christina Applegate&#8217;s performance. As Sam, she&#8217;s an old-fashioned screwball comedy ingenue (I mean, really. Shouldn&#8217;t she have been forced to leave Ingenue Town a decade ago? Apparently not), eagerly hopping through the fast-paced episodes and the comical misunderstandings and embarrassing situations that hit her from every direction. In Applegate&#8217;s hands, Sam is adorable and funny and nowhere near as cloying as she could be- the flashes of horrible old Sam (with her pin-straight hair and killer short skirts, bad Sam actually looks a lot like you&#8217;d imagine <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Married..._with_Children" target="_blank">Kelly Bundy </a>would turn out if she had money. Maybe she should work for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Tell_Mom_the_Babysitter%27s_Dead" target="_blank">a fashion designer</a>! I hear referee-style school uniforms are hot these days) are definitely a help, especially when they lead to new Sam&#8217;s equally horrified reaction to them.</p>
<p><strong>Favorite Moments</strong>: Do yourself a favor and just watch. everything.</p>

<description><![CDATA[This happens to all of my favorite shows. It started with Daria, then Freaks and Geeks, then America]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This happens to all of my favorite shows. It started with <em>Daria</em>, then <em>Freaks and Geeks</em>, then <em>American Dre</em>ams, then <em>Arrested Development</em>, then <em>Swingtown</em>, then <em>Hole in the Wall</em>, and now this.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">With ABC’s recent cancelation of <em>Samantha Who?</em> I am left scavenging the syndicated clips of <em>Married with Children </em>from afternoon cable programming for my Christina Applegate fix.<img class="aligncenter" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_40wwNlUt57k/SObXeDYswDI/AAAAAAAAAOI/bYpyDPeOzcA/s320/SamanthaWho_300x300.jpg" alt="" width="264" height="257" /></p>
<p>Christina Applegate is best known for her roles as ditzy blondes like Kelly of <em>Married with Children; </em>but based on movies like <em>Don’t tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead</em>, where Applegate’s summer is ruined after she hides the death of her babysitter and she is left to raise her siblings herself all break. She supports the ungrateful crew by lying her way to the top of a big design company, <em>ala</em> Michael J. Fox in <em>The Secret of my Success</em>, I know she is more than the quintessential early &#8217;90s airhead.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="An early picture of Christina Applegate" href="http://www.celebroundup.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/christina-applegate-008.jpg"></a><a title="An early picture of Christina Applegate" href="http://www.celebroundup.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/christina-applegate-008.jpg"></a><a title="An early picture of Christina Applegate" href="http://www.celebroundup.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/christina-applegate-008.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.celebroundup.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/christina-applegate-008.jpg" alt="" width="357" height="427" /></a></p>
<p>Seeing Applegate’s genuine and flawless performance in<em> Sweet Charity</em> on Broadway in 2005 confirmed it for me, Christina Applegate is one of the greatest gifts television has given the American public. Miss Applegate, I miss your eternal gum gnawing, your glamour shots female mullet and your avant-garde problem solving skills.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Christina Applegate, I miss your face- Shassie</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><font color="#9c0c1b">Jeg manglet litt energi til å blogge i dag, jeg er syk og sitter hjemme og ser på de nyeste episodene av One Tree Hill sesong 7. Første episode ble vist i USA den 14. september, og de ligger ute på nettet for de som er interessert (klikk <a href="http://www.one-tree-hill-episodes.com/you-are-watching-one-tree-hill-s07e01" target="_blank">her</a>). Når vi snakker om TV-serier, så har vell flere fått med seg at det var Emmy Awards i Los Angeles i natt – TV’s svar på Oscar. Derfor fant jeg ut at jeg nesten må vise frem de vakre kjolene (og noen bomskudd):       </p>
<p></font><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/blakelivelyversace4.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"></font></a><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/blakelivelyversace5.jpg"><img style="display:inline;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;border-width:0;" title="blake lively versace" border="0" alt="blake lively versace" align="left" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/blakelivelyversace_thumb1.jpg?w=289&#038;h=419" width="289" height="419" /></a></a></a><font color="#9c0c1b">&#160; </font></p>

<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/blakelivelyemmyawards2009034.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"></font></a><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/blakelivelyemmyawards2009035.jpg"><img style="display:inline;border-width:0;" title="blake-lively-emmy-awards-2009-03" border="0" alt="blake-lively-emmy-awards-2009-03" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/blakelivelyemmyawards200903_thumb2.jpg?w=202&#038;h=384" width="202" height="384" /></a></a></a><font color="#9c0c1b"><strong>        </p>
<p>Blake Lively</strong> hadde på seg kjole fra <strong>Versace</strong> i dramatisk rød farge, med stilige paljettdetaljer. Skoene vi ser så vidt er fra <strong>Christian Louboutin</strong>. Det diskuteres om Blake har gjort litt for mye av det hele med dette antrekket – både høy splitt, lav utringning og bar rygg &#8211; men jeg syns hun ser bra ut! Utfordrende, men likevel elegant, og hun har kroppen til å bære den. Hårstylisten kunne derimot vært byttet ut…</font></p>
<p><font color="#9c0c1b"></font></p>
<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/leightonmeesteremmysawards200902bottegaveneta.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="leighton-meester-emmys-awards-2009-02 Bottega Veneta" border="0" alt="leighton-meester-emmys-awards-2009-02 Bottega Veneta" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/leightonmeesteremmysawards200902bottegaveneta_thumb.jpg?w=308&#038;h=459" width="308" height="459" /></font></a><font color="#9c0c1b"> Blake Lively’s kollega, <strong>Leighton Meester</strong> var også vakker på den røde løperen. Kjolen hennes er fra <strong>Bogetta Veneta</strong>. Mange synes Meester blekner i forhold til Blake, men jeg er egentlig ikke enig. Leighton ser ut som en gresk gudinne! Kjolen er på sitt vis enkel med det løse stoffet og en passelig v-utringning, men puff-skuldrene tilfører en artig vri. Å sette fokus på skuldrene er en av høstens største trender, og man trenger ikke å bare gjøre det med jakker! Leighton utklasser Lively frisyremessig; det løst oppsatte håret passer perfekt til dette ansiktet. De røde leppene og vesken setter farge på antrekket, og jeg liker gullarmbåndene. Noen mener at alle lagene gir henne for mye vekt rundt hoftene, men jeg er ikke enig. Den løse kjolen gir henne faktisk former, og jeg syns det ser pent ut.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/blakelivelyemmyawards200908leighton.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="blake-lively-emmy-awards-2009-08 leighton" border="0" alt="blake-lively-emmy-awards-2009-08 leighton" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/blakelivelyemmyawards200908leighton_thumb.jpg?w=218&#038;h=315" width="218" height="315" /></font></a><font color="#9c0c1b">De to <strong>Gossip Girl</strong> stjernene delte også ut en pris sammen for Best Guest Appearance. </font></p>
<p><font color="#9c0c1b"></font></p>
<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/sandraohemmyawards200903marchesadressandcllutchjimmychooclueplatformshoes.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="sandra-oh-emmy-awards-2009-03 Marchesa dress and cllutch, Jimmy Choo “clue” platform shoes" border="0" alt="sandra-oh-emmy-awards-2009-03 Marchesa dress and cllutch, Jimmy Choo “clue” platform shoes" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/sandraohemmyawards200903marchesadressandcllutchjimmychooclueplatformshoes_thumb.jpg?w=325&#038;h=484" width="325" height="484" /></font></a><font color="#9c0c1b"> </font></p>
<p><font color="#9c0c1b">Det er ikke så ofte vi ser <strong>Sandra Oh</strong> fra <strong>Grey’s Anatomy</strong> på TV med et stort smil om munnen, men the Emmy’s er et stort unntak. Gullkjolen fra <strong>Marchesa</strong> kler henne utrolig godt. Jeg liker også båndet rundt livet, en liten jente som henne kommer lett unna med noe slikt. Håret hennes ser pent ut utslått, og hun gjør et klokt valg i å la kjolen stå for seg selv, ved å velge små og veltilpassede accessories.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/alysonhannigan92093.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="alyson-hannigan-9209-3" border="0" alt="alyson-hannigan-9209-3" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/alysonhannigan92093_thumb.jpg?w=304&#038;h=484" width="304" height="484" /></font></a><font color="#9c0c1b">Det er alltid en klassisk sort kjole, og denne er designet av <strong>Vera Wang</strong> og tilhører <strong>Allyson Hannigan</strong>. Kjolen er enkel, men ikke kjedelig. Det er fine linjer i stoffet som man ser om en ser nærmere. Ingenting kler opp et slikt antrekk bedre enn skinnende diamanter, og Allyson skinner.</font></p>
<p><font color="#9c0c1b"></font></p>
<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/heidiklumemmyawards200915marchesadress.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="heidi-klum-emmy-awards-2009-15 marchesa dress" border="0" alt="heidi-klum-emmy-awards-2009-15 marchesa dress" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/heidiklumemmyawards200915marchesadress_thumb.jpg?w=325&#038;h=484" width="325" height="484" /></font></a><font color="#9c0c1b"><strong>Heidi Klum</strong> valgte også sort på den røde løperen. Kjolen er fra <strong>Marchesa</strong>, og er et ganske vågalt skudd. Likevel fungerer det for Heidi, og vi får bekreftet at en kan se hot ut selv i høygravid tilstand. Jeg må likevel si at hadde det vært meg, hadde jeg valgt et lettere stoff og hatt en kjole med empireliv som falt lett over magen, i stedet for å bære en som sitter tett over hoftene. Jeg syns også hun gjør for mye av accessoriet på hendene.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/oliviawilde1.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"><img style="display:inline;border-width:0;" title="olivia wilde 1" border="0" alt="olivia wilde 1" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/oliviawilde1_thumb.jpg?w=273&#038;h=676" width="273" height="676" /></font></a><font color="#9c0c1b"> </font><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/oliviawilde.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"><img style="display:inline;border-width:0;" title="olivia wilde" border="0" alt="olivia wilde" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/oliviawilde_thumb.jpg?w=168&#038;h=389" width="168" height="389" /></font></a><font color="#9c0c1b"> </font></p>
<p><font color="#9c0c1b"><strong>Olivia Wilde</strong> fra<strong>House</strong> hadde valgt denne vågale kjolen fra<strong> Marchesa</strong>. Fargen er litt ubestemmelig, men bølgskumshvit med en dus nyanse av sjøgrønn er gjerne passende. Over chiffonstoffet er det metallisk sølvstoff, og det hele gir en havfrueassosiasjon. Kjolen har trendy assymetrisk snitt, og jeg likte den helt til jeg så glidelåsen bak. Denne kjolen hadde sett mye bedre ut om glidelåsen hadde gått ned langs siden under armen.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/katewalshemmyawards200904jmendeldresslouboutinshoesandanaldoclutch.jpg"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="kate-walsh-emmy-awards-2009-04 j mendel dress Louboutin shoes, and an Aldo clutch." border="0" alt="kate-walsh-emmy-awards-2009-04 j mendel dress Louboutin shoes, and an Aldo clutch." src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/katewalshemmyawards200904jmendeldresslouboutinshoesandanaldoclutch-_thumb.jpg?w=326&#038;h=484" width="326" height="484" /></a><font color="#9c0c1b"><strong>Kate Walsh</strong>, kjent fra <strong>Grey’s Anatomy</strong> og nå <strong>Private Practice</strong>, var også til stede iført denne kjolen fra <strong>J Mendel</strong>. Skoene hennes var fra <strong>Louboutin, </strong>men viser dessverre ikke på bidet. Jeg syns Kate kler denne kjolen veldig bra. Også denne er en gudinnekjole, mye løst stoff og flotte draperinger. Den øverste delen av kjolen sitter flott, og at det ekstra stoffet ikke kommer inn før etter midjen setter fokus på denne. En kjole jeg med glede hadde gått med selv.       </p>
<p></font></p>
<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/christinaapplegate.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="christina applegate" border="0" alt="christina applegate" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/christinaapplegate_thumb.jpg?w=319&#038;h=484" width="319" height="484" /></font></a><font color="#9c0c1b">      <br /><strong>Christina Applegate</strong> fra <strong>Samantha Who</strong> hadde valgt en kongeblå kjole fra&#160; <strong>Basil Soda</strong> på den røde løperen. Jeg elsker blåfargen, som forøvrig var populær på visningene av høstmoten i år. Kjolen har stilige detaljer, og den ser rett og slett klassisk og pen ut.</font></p>
<p><a href="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/092009drewbarrymore200moniquelhuillier.jpg"><font color="#9c0c1b"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="092009-drew-barrymore-200 Monique Lhuillier" border="0" alt="092009-drew-barrymore-200 Monique Lhuillier" src="http://sparklingbutterfly.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/092009drewbarrymore200moniquelhuillier_thumb.jpg?w=244&#038;h=484" width="244" height="484" /></font></a><font color="#9c0c1b">Det var mange pene antrekk på Emmy i år, men <strong>Drew Barrymore</strong> hadde dessverre ikke på seg et av de. Kjolen fra&#160; <strong>Monique Lhuillier</strong> i blek rosa passer ikke hudtonen hennes i det hele tatt. Den gir henne ikke noe liv, siden fjærene på skjørtet begynner for lavt. Likevel er det alt for mye fjær, og skjørtet blir for stort. En stor miss.</font></p>

Jeg liker slepet på kjolen, men falt ikke helt for overdelen. Den er veldig moteriktig med tanke på de metalliske fargene, men personlig syns jeg ikke den var så pen.     <br /></font>

En stor miss.</font><font color="#9c0c1b">      <br /></font><font color="#9c0c1b">     <br />Alt i alt syns jeg de fleste jeg har sett bilder av har klart seg bra. Det var mange enkle, klassiske kjoler på årets utdeling, men fargene varierte og mange kledde seg fint. Nå er det bare å begynne å glede seg til våren og Oscarutdelingen som går av stabelen 7. mars neste år.</font></p>

<description><![CDATA[Em tempos que Humberto Werneck lança O Pai dos Burros, que é uma espécie de lista de clichês e lugar]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Em tempos que Humberto Werneck lança <em>O Pai dos Burros</em>, que é uma espécie de lista de clichês e lugares-comuns, O Globo ainda chama o Emmy de &#8220;Oscar da TV americana&#8221;. Não basta isso. Eles dão uma nota dizendo que a premiação é hoje, às sete da noite, e que será transmitida pelo Sony. Quer saber quem são os indicados? Eles te direcionam prum site EM INGLÊS. E isso porque eles têm uma editoria só de Cultura (e TV), minha gente!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas enfim. Eu não tenho E! e não poderei, infelizmente, ver o pré-show. Adoro ver as roupas, mas &#8230; Estarei assistindo na Sony e farei um post em homenagem ao meu amigo Fasô.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A lista é gigante, então vou falar só de algumas coisas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Uma categoria que não é premiada ao vivo é a de Melhor Comercial. E tem um ótimo, que nós vimos aqui no Brasil ano passado, também. É o da Nike para as Olimpíadas de Pequim 2008 (sim, parece que foi em outra vida, mas só faz um ano!):</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/-ae3tFI8wXE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/-ae3tFI8wXE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Concorrem ao prêmio de melhor ator de série de comédia:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>The Big Bang Theory</em></strong><strong> - <span style="font-weight:normal;">Jim Parsons como Sheldon Cooper</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>Flight Of The Conchords</em></strong><strong> <span style="font-weight:normal;">Jemaine Clement  como Jemaine</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>Monk</em></strong><strong> <span style="font-weight:normal;">Tony Shalhoub como Adrian Monk</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>The Office</em></strong><strong> <span style="font-weight:normal;">Steve Carell como Michael Scott</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>30 Rock</em></strong><strong> <span style="font-weight:normal;">Alec Baldwin como Jack Donaghy (foi vencedor ano passado)</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>Two And A Half Men</em></strong><strong> <span style="font-weight:normal;">Charlie Sheen como Charlie Harper</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">É claro que o Hugh Laurie está concorrendo ao Emmy de Melhor Ator em Série Dramática pelo Dr. House (a série mais superestimada de todos os tempos). Ele tem pela frente Bryan Cranston, que já ganhou ano passado por seu papel de Walter em <em>Breaking Bad</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para as moças que nos fazem rir, torço muito que Julia Louis-Dreyfus ganhe por <em>The New Adventures of Old Christine</em>, ou que Christina Applegate seja premiada por <em>Samantha Who?. </em>Peço aos deuses que Sarah Silverman não leve nada pelo seu programa chatíssimo e acho que Tina Fey (<em>30 Rock</em>) já foi premiada demais.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nas séries dramáticas, é óbvio que Mariska Hargitay tem que ganhar de novo pela Olivia, de <em>Law and Order SVU</em>. Mas tem Glenn Close por <em>Damages</em>, né? Difícil&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em apresentador de reality, meu coração se divide. Tem Phil Keoghan por <em>The Amazing Race</em>, Ryan Seacrest por <em>American Idol</em> e Heidi Klum por <em>Project Runway</em>, além de outros menos legais. Amo todos, gente!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O mesmo acontece com &#8220;Melhor Reality&#8221;. Tem <em>Project Runway, American Idol, The Amazing Race, Top Chef </em>e<em> Dancing with the Stars</em>. Eu só não gosto do último. É bom que não tem como se decepcionar.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para terminar o post &#8211; que já está longo demais &#8211; eu vou ficar desapontada se <em>30 Rock</em> levar o caminhão de prêmios que levou ano passado, se Sandra Oh ganhar por melhor atriz coadjuvante de série dramática ou se Hugh Laurie levar. É, acho que me decepcionarei hoje.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The last few posts I&#8217;ve made have been &#8216;emo-teen-depressing&#8217; type. Totally the route that I&#8217;ve always avoided when I made a blog for myself. Oh wells. I am a teenager. Then, how about this time round I post something happy now?</p>
<p>Aidilfitri is not till tomorrow and I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;m relieved about it. Am totally looking forward to meeting my relatives when they come over. Hope I&#8217;ll learn more on my mum&#8217;s side, seeing that my family is on the other side of the island.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;ve noticed myself to be more outspoken and well, I guess you could say &#8216;bubbly&#8217;? Its more to make sure that whatever that happens between me and you doesn&#8217;t get awkward and that we&#8217;re comfortable around each other. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Am still be looking forward to meeting the cousins. There&#8217;s so much to catch up on&#8230;.</p>
<p>On the other note (here goes my emo teen rantings), I&#8217;ve just realised I&#8217;ll be biting off more than I can chew for my upcoming school semester. Sure I&#8217;ll have classes only once a week, yet, I still find myself being greedy. Already planning to work part-time during that semester. So while earning extra do&#8217;, of course I&#8217;ll take up driving. Driving lessons. Have yet to find a private instructor. And then there&#8217;s FYP. Major stuff going there since it counts as a grade by itself. Plus there&#8217;s the IG matters since everyone is falling out one by one and I&#8217;ll have to pick up where we left out with the help of good friends. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll make it through without them. Lastly, there&#8217;s also the reason why I set up this wordpress account the first place. Twilight Singapore. I love what I do there but I&#8217;m just worried that I can&#8217;t commit at that period of time.</p>
<p>You know what, I shouldn&#8217;t be complaining now. I was suppose to write something much more jovial. Then, here enters HOLLYWOOD. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Its that time of the month again for season premieres and new shows! HEHEHEHE&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-663" title="A Man She Couldn't Forget" src="http://passionatereviews.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/a-man-she-couldnt-forget.jpg" alt="A Man She Couldn't Forget" width="180" height="180" />A Man She Couldn&#8217;t Forget  by Kathryn Shay</p>
<p>Harlequin Romance</p>
<p>Clare Boneli has felt like a stranger to herself ever since the night an accident took her memory. The night she made a choice between two very different men.</p>
<p>Both Brady Langston and Jonathan Harris are good men. But their versions of her are so opposite, it&#8217;s as if she&#8217;s two different people. One man holds her career future and one man seems to hold her heart. Because when she&#8217;s with Brady everything feels so true, so right. As she moves closer to the truth about that fateful night, Clare has to choose again. To stick with the life she&#8217;s made for herself. Or listen to what her heart&#8217;s been trying to tell her…</p>
<p>What a fantastic book. I found myself throughly engrossed by the story in A Man She Couldn&#8217;t Forget. As I read, I kept thinking about the television show Samantha Who? and her retrograde amnesia along with the movie Regarding Henry which the book refers to. Ms Shay did a fabulous job of research when it came to her subject matter. Not only about the subject of amnesia but also in regard to the recipes used as Clare cooked.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>I liked the character of Clarissa Boneli. As I learned more about her, I truly began to care for her and her life. I hoped that she would continue to be nice and not go back to snubbing her family and friends. I wanted her to continue to pick her home life and what I thought was her ultimate happiness with her friends as opposed to her work and ambitions for a national television show. I liked how Clare was naturally drawn to Brady and how she learns of their friendship.</p>
<p>I thought Brady Langston was a dreamboat. He did everything for Clare after she had amnesia. After I learned how she had treated him previously, I was surprised that he let his love for her show  in everything he did for her. Brady is too good to be true at times. I don&#8217;t know how he was able to hold back pushing Clare for a more intimate relationship or pressing his advantage when Jonathan wasn&#8217;t around. He not only loved Clare but he was a true friend through the entire story.</p>
<p>I thought Jonathan Harris was true to the character that was written for him. He loved Clare and wanted to do whatever he could to further her career and her life with him. Jonathan is not only rich and handsome but he is privileged and  it shows in all that he does. I think Jonathan&#8217;s only fault is that he wants Clarissa to marry him and he doesn&#8217;t want to wait for her to regain her memory or share her with anyone.</p>
<p>I found all the character to be fully fleshed out and a vital part of the story whether they were a main character or a minor one. Little Donny Kramer played as important of a role in the story as Lillian or Lucinda. Anna Summers, as Clare&#8217;s doctor, is the perfect psychiatrist. As I said before, I could see the amount of research that went into this story.</p>
<p>I enjoyed the references throughout the book about contemporary times. There were references to J K Rowling, Paula Dean and even Wicked. These made the story more relevant for me and the recipes sounded delicious. Ms. Shay states on her livejournel that they are her own family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation  and can be found on her website. What a generous gift to give all her readers.</p>
<p>I recommend reading this wonderful story about second chances, friends and lovers. I know A Man She Couldn&#8217;t Forget is one story that I won&#8217;t forget anytime soon.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>NBC&#8217;s track record with adapting international series for American audiences has been rather hit or miss (Highs: The Office. Lows: Coupling. New Lows: Kath &#38; Kim.) so the recent news that the peacock is set to adapt the groundbreaking UK drama series <em>Prime Suspect</em> is a bit&#8230;suspect.</p>
<p><a href="http://tvonyourownterms.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/primesuspect.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-408" title="Prime Suspect" src="http://tvonyourownterms.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/primesuspect.jpg?w=300" alt="Prime Suspect" width="300" height="203" /></a>The original ran in seven parts from 1991 to 2006 and starred Helen Mirren as lady-of-a-certain-age chief homicide detective Jane Tennison, a role that made waves when the series debuted as it was the first to feature a woman as the head of a murder investigation unit. A hit with critics, it earned Mirren two Emmy awards for lead actress in a miniseries and made her a household name in the US when it aired as part of PBS&#8217;s <em>Mystery</em> series.</p>
<p>With such a stellar pedigree, NBC should take measured steps to ensure that their <em>Prime Suspect</em> will have its own tone that sets it apart from workhorse <em>Law &#38; Order </em>procedurals (no <em>L&#38;O: Across the Pond</em>, thank you). The crux of the show&#8217;s success will be in casting the lead. Considering such an acclaimed and formidable actress originated the role, someone award-winning caliber must come on board to give the US version some clout in standing up (and out) to the plethora of other crime-centered dramas scattered around the dial, especially ones with strong female characters (NBC&#8217;s own Emmy-winning Mariska Hargitay, for example). American producers will no doubt want to sex up the role, which means skewing the age range down, considering the hesitancy to cast women over 40 in high-profile leads. This actress age-ism is a shame because, like a fine wine, the best only get better with time, and this kind of role demands someone who&#8217;s been around the block.</p>
<p><a href="http://tvonyourownterms.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/jeansmartasmarthalogan.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-409" title="Jean Smart as Martha Logan on Day 5 of &#34;24&#34;" src="http://tvonyourownterms.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/jeansmartasmarthalogan.jpg?w=216" alt="Jean Smart as Martha Logan on Day 5 of &#34;24&#34;" width="216" height="300" /></a>Topping my &#8220;For Your Consideration&#8221; list would be Jean Smart. While most well-known for comedy &#8211; first gaining recognition on <em><a class="wpGallery" title="&#34;Hey, hey New Orleans!&#34;" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM11IetSCyE" target="_blank">Designing Women</a></em>, but racking up 3 Emmy wins in the last decade for her guest role on <em>Frasier</em> and one for supporting actress playing Christina Applegate&#8217;s martini-swilling mother on <em>Samantha Who? </em>- she&#8217;s also proven a knack for the dramatics, and earned rave reviews, with her portrayal of the president&#8217;s unstable, whistle-blowing wife on the fifth season of <em>24</em>.</p>
<p>Opening the forum for discussion: Who else is an ideal contender to take up the American &#8220;Queen&#8221; of police mantle?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="margin:1ex;">
<div>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><strong>The Husband:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">While we, the children of Saint  Clare, have found the time to write about many of the biggest shows on  television (and even some small ones), there is only so much time and  energy we can spend on this site. The truth is, we watch a whole lot  more than what ends up on the site, and since I watch most of these  on my own and yet never find the ability to write about them, their  absence is mostly my fault. But no matter. For those that fall through  the cracks, I have here a grab bag of the 30+ shows I watch in addition  to whatever ends up on the site. These are the ones that slipped through  the cracks. And hell, I&#8217;m sure there are more I&#8217;m forgetting (and also  not even bothering writing about, which tend to fall under instructional/educational  stuff like anything on Discovery), so if you think I&#8217;ve forgotten something,  please let me know. (And no, I don&#8217;t watch any <em>CSI </em> or <em>L&#38;O</em> shows, so don&#8217;t even try to get all up in my grill.)  Here they are, the missing shows of the 2008-2009 television season,  in alphabetical order.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">24</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">I really should have written  at least some criticism on this season, but work piled up and I simply  didn&#8217;t have the time. It started off as the most intelligent season  with some of the most compelling political questions being thrown around  (welcome to the show finally, &#8220;debate on torture&#8221;), but by  the fourth time Tony twisted his alliance and Jack was infected with  the disease, I kind of stopped caring. Great first half of the season,  though, and I think Renee is the best new character in a very long time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Adult Swim (Xavier: Renegade  Angel / Superjail! / Squidbillies / The Drinky Crow Show / Metalocalypse  / Delocated / Robot Chicken / Etc.)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Thank you, young people of  Adult Swim (who I have spent some time with, don&#8217;t forget) for freaking  my mind week after week, and giving alternative comedy a major boost  in America. And for freaking out my wife.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_2586" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 477px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2586" title="better0ffted" src="http://childrenofsaintclare.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/better0ffted1.jpg" alt="A beacon of normalcy in a world of wackiness." width="467" height="310" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A beacon of normalcy in a world of wackiness.</p></div>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Better Off Ted</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">It took me a couple episodes  to latch onto the tone, but once I did I simply couldn&#8217;t get enough  from this latest product of the mad mind of Victor Fresco. Check out  some episodes online, then watch <em>Andy Richter Controls the Universe</em> (his previous show), and I guarantee you some of the oddest network  comedy in a very long time. I still think Portia DeRossi is trying to  hard, though, and should take a page from the book of Fresco mainstay  Jonathan Slavin.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Castle</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Bring it on, Nathan Fillion.  Hypnotize me with your nostrils and your addictive but borderline-stupid  mystery writer-cum-detective series. (Although how weird was that Judy  Reyes episode? What the hell, Carla Turk?)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Celebrity Apprentice  2</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">So sue me, I liked Joan Rivers.  And the addition of the phrase &#8220;Whore Pit Vipers&#8221; to the television  lexicon.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Celebrity Rehab (Sober House)  with Dr. Drew</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">So help me, I can&#8217;t stop watching.  It&#8217;s just a disaster. I will say, though, that I like the drama in the  rehab far more than the sober house, as the latter seems to exist simply  to destroy any progress the celebrities made in rehab. And now having  seen all three of his seasons of <em>Taxi</em>, Jeff Conaway&#8217;s fall from  grace is fishbowl television at its finest.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dating in the Dark</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Really fun, actually. I hope  it gets a second season. I also hope that more matches will be made,  and that people stop being massive failures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dirty Sexy  Money</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Everything I needed to say  about the failure of the second season of this show <a href="http://childrenofsaintclare.wordpress.com/2008/11/25/checking-in-on-dirty-sexy-money/">can be found on  this blog</a>, and it ended its truncated run by turning itself inside-out  by revealing that the show&#8217;s central mystery, who killed Peter Krause&#8217;s  father, was a bust since he wasn&#8217;t dead after all. What the hell, <em> Dirty Sexy Money</em>? Oh well, your cancellation made room in Krause&#8217;s  schedule for the much anticipated (by me) adaptation of <em>Parenthood</em> coming to NBC mid-season.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Goode Family</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">It took a few episodes to find  its footing, but by the end of its sped-up summer run, I was a major  fan of the latest Mike Judge effort. (R.I.P. <em>King of the Hill</em>.)  Vastly misunderstood by viewers who only watched the first episode,  it, just like <em>KOTH</em>, found a middle ground between conservative  America and liberal America and found the ability to make fun of both  without drawing blood, choosing to love instead of hate. Some of the  voice cast was misused (why was my beloved Linda Cardellini in the cast?),  but as a Berkeley native, I had a blast relishing in mocking the stereotypes  of my own people while rediscovering what it is I love so much about  them. The bull dykes were also two of the most original characters of  the season.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Great American Road  Trip</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Any show that has two contestants  debating over which is more correct, &#8220;y&#8217;all&#8221; or &#8220;youse,&#8221;  gets major points in my book. A nice and forgettable summer trifle after  a long, way-too-hot day. Silly, yes, but I can&#8217;t say it was bad. And  it was a definite improvement over the similar family-based season of <em> The Amazing Race</em>. (I&#8217;m sure <em>The Soup</em> is really grateful for  this show, too.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Heroes</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Oh god, kill me now. Volume  4 was a marked improvement over #3, for sure, but I just don&#8217;t care  about anybody anymore. And yet I feel that I need to keep watching.  It&#8217;s too late to give up now. There was one great episode this season,  though, and that was the flashback one surrounding Angela Petrelli&#8217;s  stint at a mutant internment camp. Why can&#8217;t they all be this good?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Howie Do It</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Yeah, I watched it. Shut the  fuck up. About one-third of it was funny, and as I watched it on Hulu  at work, it&#8217;s not like I wasted any of my own time. Howie Mandel is  savvier than you think, but I wish he would return to his wilder roots.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">How&#8217;s Your News</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">This Parker-Stone produced  MTV show revolving around reporters who are developmentally delayed  confused the hell out of me initially, but once I realized there wasn&#8217;t  a mean bone in its body it became a warm bit of fun. I want a second  season, dammit. These are some of the most joyful television subjects  I&#8217;ve ever seen.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">I Survived a Japanese Game  Show</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Better than the first season,  but I&#8217;m still glad I only watch this online while doing something else.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">In the Motherhood</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Worst opening credit sequence  of the year. Some pretty funny material hidden underneath unfunny slapstick.  Horatio Sanz got thin. Megan Mullally couldn&#8217;t find a rhythm. I still  think Cheryl Hines is oddly hot.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Lie to Me</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">I unfortunately didn&#8217;t start  watching this until July, and I wish I hadn&#8217;t waited so long. While  gimmicky to a fault and not nearly as intelligent as it pretends it  is, this Tim Roth vehicle about an FBI specialist who studies the subtleties  of the face (OF THE <em>FACE</em>) is clever, compelling and well drawn.  I&#8217;m not sure about the addition of Mekhi Phifer&#8217;s character, but we&#8217;ll  see how it works out next season, especially with <em>Shield </em> creator Shawn Ryan at the helm of season two.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Life</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">This cancellation <em>reallllly </em> hurts. One of the unsung gems from the 2007-2008 television, this, the  smartest network cop show in recent memory, took its great season one  energy and hit the second season with all it had and came up with a  compelling, hilarious, devilishly clever and gleefully violent run that  was only marred by a major cast shift during the final few episodes.  (I&#8217;m looking at you, Gabrielle Union. Your presence was what I like  to call a massive failure.) A Zen-obsessed cop recently released from  prison after serving over a decade for a murder he did not commit, this  show had <em>the best cases </em>of them all. It also gave me one of my  favorite hours of television of the year in an episode that revolved  around a seductive assassin, fertilizer and pigeon aficionados. And  at least the major serialized storyline (who framed Damien Lewis and  why) got paid off in a major way thanks to the ever-reliable Garret  Dillahunt.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2588" title="lifeshot" src="http://childrenofsaintclare.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/lifeshot.jpg" alt="lifeshot" width="309" height="335" /><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">My Boys</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Putting PJ and Bobby together  was a great idea, but your nine-episode seasons are too short to gain  any momentum, and the spring training season finale was a bust.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Nitro Circus</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Moronic glee.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Numb3rs</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Man, did they put Charlie through  the ringer. First, he nearly gets his brother killed with a miscalculation  on his part, he questions his own validity as a mathematician and then  Amita gets kidnapped just as he decides that he wants to marry her.  Otherwise, another fine, if somewhat uneventful, of this show that never  captured the glory of its über-nerdy first season. Also, thanks for  all the great guest star work, but sometimes it gets laid on a little  too thick, such as in &#8220;Sneakerhead&#8221; which brought together  Bruno Campos, Patrick Bauchau, Dr. Edison from <em>Bones</em> and Eve.  (And points for making the Liz Warner character actually bearable. I  fucking hated her in season 4.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Privileged</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">So apparently the CW thought  that their best idea ever was to get rid of this show, the smartest  show on the UPN/WB merger since the Buffyverse, one that was technically  pulling in bigger numbers than <em>90210</em>, one that was a delight  to watch and deeply addictive, and make room for what is sure to be  one of 2009-2010&#8217;s worst new offerings, <em>Melrose Place</em>. I gotta  tell ya, this cancellation hurts. While I wrote recaps and reviews of  the episodes way into its freshman (and only) season, the looming axe,  as well as a more heavily serialized structure, turned me off from writing  on the final stretch of episodes, and I told myself that I&#8217;d only recap  them if the show came back. Lo and behold, another Joanna Garcia vehicle  has gone down the tubes. I&#8217;ll miss you oh so dearly, Ms. Too-Smart-For-The-CW  Palm Beach satirical melodrama known as <em>Privileged</em>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Rescue Me</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">I thought it was a great season,  and thanks to an extended number of episodes (it didn&#8217;t air in 2008  thanks to the writer&#8217;s strike), the show was able to focus much of its  energy on pages-long dialogue-happy battle-of-wits in nearly episode,  which to be is melodrama heaven. Gone is the maudlin tone, returned  is all the comic energy, and the stories seem to actually progress instead  of just flopping around like a dying fish. Leary and Tolan deserve major  praise for bringing the show back up to snuff. And now having seen all  of <em>Newsradio</em>, I love any chance I get to watch Maura Tierney,  although I&#8217;m still not going to watch <em>ER</em>. (I am proud to have  only seen three episodes of that show ever, being a <em>Chicago Hope </em> fan.) Special shot-out to the Sean cancer storyline, if only to allow Broadway actor Steven Pasquale (husband of Tony winner Laura Benanti) the opportunity to belt out some songs in a handful of hallucination scenes.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Samantha Who?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">One of the biggest upsets of  the last two years was the rise and fall of this light-hearted, occasionally  gut-busting amnesia sitcom that started off the talk of the town, only  to waste away its final episodes after the conclusion of the actual  television season. Ending on a shitty cliffhanger (Sam&#8217;s parents are  getting divorced, so Mom is going to live with you and your formerly-estranged-but-now-love-of-your-life  lover), we nevertheless found out who caused the accident that brought  about Sam&#8217;s amnesia, Jennifer Esposito finally made it with the towel  boy, and Melissa McCarthy continued to be one of the brightest stars  of the year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Scrubs</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Like <em>Privileged</em>, I hesitated  to continue writing due to the threat of its cancellation, but now it&#8217;s  continuing on into yet another season (albeit with some major changes),  so I really have no reason to stop writing about it. But let&#8217;s just  say that while the hurry-up to conclude its many disparate storylines  often felt rushed (those two Bahama episodes felt especially odd), the  conclusion to J.D.&#8217;s years-in-the-telling tale was a lovely way to conclude  the season. (No props for the awful awful Peter Gabriel song that accompanied  his final walk down the hallway, as laughably bad as it was when I heard  it in the remake of <em>Shall We Dance?</em>)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Shield</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">I don&#8217;t have to tell you how  amazing the final season was. Watch it. Seriously. You owe it to yourself  to experience one of the hardest hitting cop shows of all time. Like <em> The Wire</em>, a Greek tragedy hammered into modern-day policework with  some of the most finely drawn characters around. And oh man, did those  final three episodes pack a major punch. Ouch, indeed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Southland</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">Quite a bit like <em>The Shield</em>,  really, had it followed Michael Jace&#8217;s beat cop instead of the Strike  Team. A little too dour at times for me to really give a crap, and the  sprawling ensemble needs to be cut down (which is what I hear it&#8217;s doing  for the second season), but this L.A.-centered procedural has a lot  going for it, not least of which its pitch-perfect direction. (I especially  dig the long shots, including my favorite, which involved a cabin and  a K9 unit bringing down a perp.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_2590" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 476px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2590" title="benmacken" src="http://childrenofsaintclare.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/benmacken.jpg" alt="Way better than dating Marissa Cooper." width="466" height="314" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Way better than dating Marissa Cooper.</p></div>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Surviving Suburbia</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">A sitcom in serious need of  finding one tone and sticking with it, this sometimes-sweet-sometimes-brutally-cruel  suburban comedy worked as well as it did because of Saget as well as  G. Hannelius&#8217; performance as the precocious daughter. Still, all the  jokes about disabled people, pregnant teenagers and strip clubs really  didn&#8217;t mesh together with the clichés of the genre.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Survivor: Tocantins</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">I love <em>Survivor</em>, but  this was one of the most boring seasons in its ten-year run. I don&#8217;t  think I gave a shit about one person, and I simply couldn&#8217;t find anything  compelling to write about. A waste of a good location.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">True Beauty</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">The right person won, the losers  got (mostly) schooled in this trick show designed to expose the douchery  involved in modeling, Ashton Kutcher made another heroin-like show,  and I concern myself for months with how they can pull the trick off  a second time in the next season.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Unusuals</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">When grading a cop show, I  tend to focus on three things — the tone, the characters and the cases.  A bizarre, pessimistic yet comedic take on all those wacky cops we&#8217;ve  seen throughout the years all thrown together (one is deathly afraid  of…death, one has a brain tumor, one talks in the third person, one  is a closeted socialite, etc.) pushed into some remarkably dark territory, <em> The Unusuals </em>had tone and characters down pat, but suffered at the  hands of some DOA storylines. But oh man, did the tone ever make up  for most of the show&#8217;s shortcomings. Great ensemble cast, too, although  I would have recast Eddie Alvarez.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"> </span></p>
<div id="attachment_2591" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 473px"><img class="size-full wp-image-2591" title="unusuals" src="http://childrenofsaintclare.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/unusuals.jpg" alt="Rather unusual." width="463" height="301" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Rather unusual.</p></div>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Worst Week</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:small;">A breezy and often hilarious  slapstick comedy based off of a British hit, it could never regain its  momentum after moving away from the initial &#8220;week&#8221; of the  title. Kyle Bornheimer is a true find and made the more unbearable misunderstandings  and embarrassing moments of the show (of which there were many) all  the more palatable. I&#8217;m not the biggest fan of comedy based around humiliations,  but this show found a likeable ability to have its characters not completely  despise each other at every moment. This was, to say the least, very  refreshing. Big points for giving me the biggest network TV laugh of  the year (when Bornheimer wakes up his brother-in-law only to be thought  a murderer) but major negative points for pushing back a major character-based  episode into a weekend spot months after the show had already ended  its run.</span></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://entertainmentrealm.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/samwhodvd.jpg"><img src="http://entertainmentrealm.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/samwhodvd.jpg?w=226" border="0" /></a><br /><em><strong>Samantha Who?</strong></em> got canceled and I truly enjoyed the show. Luckily, here’s The Complete Second and Final Season on DVD to enjoy. As Samantha Newly, Christina Applegate has great comedic appeal and her character and the premise of the show is really delightful. A stuck up, snobby girl gets amnesia and now is sweet and extremely likable, charitable even. She has frequent flashbacks to her old bitchy ways and cannot believe how she ever acted that way. Now she’s trying to right her past mistakes by being a better person, a better friend, and a better daughter. Whether she is dating an earthy-crunchy, eco-friendly architect, competing in a dance competition with her mother, finding out what her father really does at work (it’s very bloody), or taking a road trip to her old summer vacation spot in the middle of no where, Samantha is completely unpredictable, has an infectious energy and keeps you guessing what she’ll do next. </p>
<p>Her best friend, social status-obsessed lawyer Andrea [Jennifer Esposito] spends the season in a faux relationship with a gay basketball star Tony Dane [McKinley Freeman]. Her other friend from high-school Dena [Melissa McCarthy] is sweet, quirky and devoted to Samantha. She re-surfaced in Samantha’s life when she had amnesia. Jean Smart [<em>Designing Women</em>], perfectly cast as her mom, tears up the small screen, as often selfish and always hysterical. Sam&#8217;s snugly dad [Kevin Dunn] unconditionally adores Samantha. Adding drama to Samantha’s already conflict-filled life, she lives with her ex-boyfriend Todd [Barry Watson]. Are they over each other for good? The pair goes back and forth as they both try to move on and date other people but always get drawn back to each other. Samantha’s rich ex-boss Winston Funk [Billy Zane] sends Todd away to London but the distance cannot keep the pair apart and despite the charm Winston pours on, Samantha knows he’s just not Todd. Both Todd and Winston want Samantha. Who will she choose?</p>
<h3>It is really too bad that so many mediocre shows remain on television but a unique, radiant, female-driven comedy like Samantha Who? gets canceled. I&#8217;m so disappointed. Christina Applegate deserves roles like this one: conflicted characters who are strong inside and have the capacity to accomplish so much if they set out to do it. She is not only a beautiful and charming woman but she is winning and devoted to her friends and family. It&#8217;s not something that you see all the time on television. Having played the bimbo role [very well and very tongue-in-cheek on Married with Children], Applegate did not settle for something easy. She has much more going for her than that. I adore her. I find her compelling and truly a special comedic talent. Filling the void left by Samantha Who? will not be easy. ABC made a monumental mistake.</h3>
<p><strong>As an aside:</strong> As there’s a popular show out there right now called <em>Drop Dead Diva</em> that focuses on weight, I wanted to compare “Jane” to the plus-size gal on <em><strong>Samantha Who?</strong></em> Dena [McCarthy] is definitely chunky but she hardly lets it keep her down. She dresses appropriately. Dena frequents bars and clubs with Samantha and Andrea. She’s not afraid to speak her mind and she and her boyfriend adore each other. Sure, sometimes she gets down about things but the show never makes a huge issue out of her weight and she doesn’t have major image issues at every turn.</p>
<p><em>DVD Extras:</em> Christina Applegate takes us on a set tour, bloopers and deleted scenes.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Some days I feel like a friggin TV junkie even though I don&#8217;t really log that many hours on the couch. But I&#8217;m looking forward to a lot of things coming soon. DVDs that I need to invest in&#8230; already on the shelf we have Gossip Girl Season 2, Eli Stone Season 2, and Pushing Daisies Season 2. Coming Soon we have House, One Tree Hill, Samantha Who, Smallville, Scrubs, Heroes, Supernatural, My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, Ugly Betty, Castle, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, and Mister Ed Season 1. Which means all the new seasons will be starting soon. I also have a few I catch just on TV including Two and A Half Men, Criminal Minds, and NCIS. I think it is time to pay my late fee at Family Video so I can get the 1/2 off deal to rent everything. Ideally I hit the lottery and can purchase them all but I don&#8217;t see that happening. Any of the above mentioned are great ideas for birthday and Christmas Presents&#8230; haha. I don&#8217;t know how I feel about the new NCIS coming this fall with LL Cool J. I love my Michael Weatherly and Mark Harmon in the original. I do not think I will be giving them up. I&#8217;m also looking forward to Accidentally on Purpose or whatever that new Jenna Elfman show is called. And Vampire Diaries starting on the CW. Maybe I will give my mom extra rent money to get me DVR in my room. (I havent even asked her to put a sattellite box down here yet).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Las comedias románticas nos engañan. Deberíamos llevarlas a juicio. No solo nos venden que nuestra media naranja existe, sino que además es ese tío que te sabe buscar las cosquillas, ese al que podrías comerte a besos y tirar por una ventana cerrada a partes iguales. Ese que te mata de la risa,  el que te saca de tus casillas. En definitiva, son un género diabólico.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Una de las herencias más envenenadamente fructíferas que este tipo de películas han dejado a las series de televisión es la UST (Tensión Sexual No Resuelta) entre sus protagonistas. Este elemento es imprescindible en la inmensa mayoría de productos de ficción televisiva clásicos, especialmente aquellos de corte costumbrista o de humor. Aunque muchas veces no se explota adecuadamente o se deja enfriar demasiado pronto.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El último ejemplo de buen uso de la UST del que he podido disfrutar este verano es la ya por desgracia cancelada <em>Samantha Who. </em>Esta sitcom de la ABC cuenta cómo Samantha Newly (Christina Applegate), ejecutiva agresiva y más mala que un dolor, encuentra una segunda oportunidad tras ser atropellada por un coche y despertarse con una amnesia que, aunque le permite llevar una vida normal, ha borrado todos sus recuerdos del pasado.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">El reparto de la serie se completa con unos personajes secundarios bien definidos y divertidos: un padre con dificultades para expresar sus sentimientos, una madre histérica e hiperprotectora, dos mejores amigas, una friki y la otra alcohólica y Todd, un ex-novio al que Samantha trae por la calle de la amargura. Vamos, en <em>Samantha Who</em> no han inventado la fórmula de la coca-cola, pero ni falta que hace. La serie transpira buena técnica de guión y el ritmo vivísimo que necesita una telecomedia. Es todo un ejercicio de artesanía.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Pero volviendo a la tensión sexual no resuelta, una foto para situarse:</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://www.literaryillusions.com/photos/Samantha_Who_1_photo_4.jpg" alt="Todd y Sam" width="400" height="292" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Todd y Sam</p></div>
<p> <span style="color:#ff0000;">(Spoilers)</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Todd sufrió a la Sam malvada, la que le puso los cuernos, la que se rió de él cuando intentó pedirle en matrimonio, la que le ponía trabas para progresar en su carrera profesional como fotógrafo.  ¿Quién no le daría una palmadita en la espalda a su ex-novia amnésica y se marcharía silbando en otra dirección? Pero a medida que avanzan las dos temporadas, vamos descubriendo que el aparentemente sufrido y sacrificado Todd encandena novias en serie, pone cuernos, es un jeta que vive de gorra en casa de Sam y un gandul a la hora de sacarse las castañas del fuego en el plano laboral. Es decir, Todd es la horma del zapato de Sam, solo que en unos cuantos números más y en la sección de caballeros.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">¿Y acaso no es eso en lo que consiste la química entre dos personas? En la ficción podemos extrapolar esa dinámica y convertirla en personajes, en su interacción. Si conseguimos hacerlo bien, podemos arrastrar al público durante capítulos y temporadas enteras. Engañarlos con el sueño de una relación perfecta en la que se vive cómodamente y en la que a la vez todos los días son una pequeña aventura. Vendiéndoles que todos, absolutamente todos, nos merecemos eso. Por mi parte, haré mi aportación al género en cuanto me sea posible. Así que venga, si tenéis el número de un buen abogado, pasádmelo. Lo voy a necesitar.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">
<div id="attachment_292" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 507px"><img class="size-full wp-image-292" title="fall_season_seriados" src="http://impressoesdom.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/fall_season_seriados.jpg" alt="Montagem: Sanny Saraiva" width="497" height="497" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Montagem: Sanny Saraiva</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Os fanáticos pelos enlatados norte-americanos – aqueles mesmos, alienantes e tal – têm infinitas razões para intensificar a devoção às mais inusitadas e imprevisíveis histórias advindas das esquizofrênicas cabeças de roteiristas do Tio Sam. Desde o início de agosto, séries consagradas exibem suas novas temporadas e emissoras lançam novas produções, que já estreiam despontando como novidades no inóspito e disputado cenário do entretenimento televisivo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Como já é conhecido, o gerenciador desta, por assim dizer, miscelânea midiática é um assumido e compulsivo fã das séries americanas e repudia qualquer hipócrita manifestação contrária, de famigerados arautos da razão, a essa predileção.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A exemplo do ano passado, quando expus minhas impressões acerca desse próspero período e descrevi algumas de minhas preferências, tecerei comentários sobre as  séries que acompanho religiosamente.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Fall Season 2009/2010</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Domingo, 2 de Agosto</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Defying Gravity</strong>, 1ª temporada (ABC)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Sexta, 7 de Agosto</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Psych</strong>, 4ª temporada (USA)<br />
<strong>Monk</strong>, 8ª temporada (USA)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Domingo, 16 de Agosto</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Mad Men</strong>, 3ª temporada (AMC) &#8211; Infelizmente ainda não encontrei brecha em minha atribulada agenda de ócio criativo para acompanhar esta série. Mas, confesso, o fato de ela, não raro, abocanhar as principais estatuetas do Grammy e do Emmy desperta em mim certa curiosidade e vontade de agregar mais esta a minha extensa lista.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quarta, 19 de Agosto</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Top Chef</strong>, 6ª temporada (Bravo)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quinta, 20 de Agosto</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Project Runway</strong>, 6ª temporada (Lifetime)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>31 de agosto</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Greek</strong>, 3ª temporada (ABC Family) – Acompanho, entusiasticamente, a saga de Casey, Rusty e cia desde o início. Greek fora produzida para preencher buraco de programação, no canal ABC Family. No entanto, com um roteiro afiado e maroto, embora um tanto pueril, a série conquistou seu espaço e cativou um público-alvo específico. Para tanto, os responsáveis pelo seriado utilizaram-se de fórmulas consagradas – por vezes, batida – no intuito de estabelecer um padrão temático e constituir fiéis seguidores. A única ressalva que tenho em relação à essa terceira temporada, é o fato de a trama ter perdido sua vilã-mor, a ardilosa Frannie. Os roteiristas terão que se desdobrar para darem continuidade aos inusitados conflitos, outrora, ocasionados pela referida antagonista. No mais, a série tem tudo para emplacar mais uma bem-sucedida temporada.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Terça, 8 de Setembro</em><br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>90210</strong>, 2ª temporada (CW)<br />
<strong>Melrose Place (2009)</strong>, 1ª temporada (CW)<br />
<strong>Sons of Anarchy</strong>, 2ª temporada (FX)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quarta, 9 de Setembro</em><br />
<strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>America’s Next Top Model</strong>, 13ª temporada (CW)<br />
<strong>Glee</strong>, 1ª temporada (FOX)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quinta, 10 de Setembro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Supernatural</strong>, 5ª temporada (CW)<br />
<strong>The Vampire Diaries</strong>, 1ª temporada (CW)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Segunda, 14 de setembro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Gossip Girl</strong>, 3ª temporada (CW) &#8211; Assim como já explicitei em algumas ocasiões, repito: Gossip Girl é a malhação de luxo dos nova-iorquinos. O roteiro é absurdamente superficial e, às vezes, de uma ingenuidade risível. Contudo, acredito que o glamour e os mistérios que circundam a vida dos personagens contribuem para que o congênere do seriado global se sobressaia em alguns aspectos. A famigerada temática de idas e vindas de casais, que, em tese, nasceram para ficarem juntos (Dan e Serena; Chuck e Blair), sempre proporciona bons momentos, além das armações dos autoproclamados antagonistas. A expectativa da temporada fica por conta do surgimento do meio-irmão de Dan e Serena.<br />
The Jay Leno Show, 1ª temporada (NBC)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>One Tree Hill</strong>, 7ª temporada (CW) – Dramalhão mexicano sem precedentes, que deixei de acompanhar há muito.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>16 de Setembro </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Bones</strong>, 5ª temporada (FOX)<br />
<strong>Community</strong>, 1ª temporada (NBC)<strong><br />
Fringe</strong>, 2ª temporada (FOX)<strong><br />
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia</strong>, 5ª temporada (FX)<strong><br />
Parks and Recreation</strong>, 2ª temporada (NBC)<br />
<strong>Survivor: Samoa</strong> (CBS)<br />
<strong>The Office</strong>, 6ª temporada (NBC) – Comédia sofisticada. Tão sofisticada a ponto de, em certos momentos, não ser engraçada. Acompanho-a esporadicamente, mas, normalmente rende cenas antológicas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Domingo, 20 de Setembro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Curb Your Enthusiasm</strong>, 7ª temporada (HBO)<br />
<strong>Bored to Death</strong>, 1ª temporada (HBO)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Segunda, 21 de Setembro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Accidentally on Purpose</strong>, 1ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>The Big Bang Theory</strong>, 3ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>Castle</strong>, 2ª temporada (ABC)<br />
<strong>CSI: Miami</strong>, 8ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>Dancing With the Stars</strong>, 9ª temporada (ABC)<br />
<strong>Heroes</strong>, 4ª temporada (NBC)<br />
<strong>Two and a Half Men</strong>, 7ª temporada (CBS)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>House</strong>, 6ª temporada (FOX)– Esta, certamente, está inclusa no meu Top Five de séries. É incrível a capacidade de David Shore e dos demais roteiristas deste aclamado seriado de se reinventar a cada nova temporada, reservando, sempre, situações absolutamente inesperadas. Falar da interpretação de Hugh Laurie é redundância, a julgar pela quantidade de indicações em Emmys e Grammys que ele conquistou. Na última temporada, havia o receio pela substituição da equipe do Dr. House, no entanto, o terrificante, degradante e genial processo seletivo imposto por House pulverizou qualquer preocupação acerca da troca de subalternos. Ao contrário, a modificação revitalizou a história e deu novo ritmo à trama. O único percalço fora a súbita saída do Kutner (Kal Penn), que, para os que ainda desconhecem, debandou da série em função de compromissos políticos assumidos com a gestão Obama. A despeito da próxima temporada, muitas surpresas aguardam o séquito de fanáticos seguidores do seriado, a começar pela estadia de House em uma clínica psiquiátrica.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>How I Met Your Mother</strong>, 5ª temporada (CBS) – Atualmente, esta é a minha série de comédia predileta, ao lado de 30 Rock. É impossível não se entregar às desventuras de Ted Mosby para encontrar a mãe de seus filhos e às inapeláveis, por vezes rascantes, encrencas que seus amigos Marshall, Robin, Lily e Barney se metem. Em sua quinta temporada, parece que finalmente contemplaremos os decisivos momentos que culminarão no esperado encontro da mulher que se casará com Tedy e, com ele, terá dois filhos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Terça, 22 de Setembro</em></p>
<p><strong>The Forgotten</strong>, 1ª temporada (ABC)<br />
<strong>The Good Wife</strong>, 1ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>NCIS</strong>, 7ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>NCIS: Los Angeles</strong>, 1ª temporada (CBS)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quarta, 23 de Setembro</em></p>
<p><strong>Cougar Town</strong>, 1ª temporada (ABC)<br />
<strong>Criminal Minds</strong>, 5ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>CSI: NY</strong>, 6ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>Eastwick</strong>, 1ª temporada (ABC)<br />
<strong>Gary Unmarried</strong>, 2ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>Law &#38; Order: Special Victims Unit</strong>, 11ª temporada (NBC)<br />
<strong>Modern Family</strong>, 1ª temporada (ABC)<br />
<strong>The New Adventures of Old Christine</strong>, 5ª temporada (CBS) &#8211; Outra que acompanho bem tangencialmente, mas, que, sempre, acabo gostando.<br />
Parenthood, 1ª temporada (NBC)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quinta, 24 de Setembro</em></p>
<p><strong>CSI: Crime Scene Investigation</strong>, 10ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>Flash Forward</strong>, 1ª temporada (ABC)<br />
<strong>Grey’s Anatomy</strong>, 6 ª temporada (ABC)<strong><br />
The Mentalist</strong>, 2ª temporada (CBS)</p>
<p><em>Sexta, 25 de Setembro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Brothers</strong>, 1ª temporada (FOX)<br />
<strong>Dollhouse</strong>, 2ª temporada (FOX)<br />
<strong>Ghost Whisperer</strong>, 5ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>Law &#38; Order</strong>, 20ª temporada (NBC)<br />
<strong>Medium</strong>, 6ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>Numb3rs</strong>, 6ª temporada (CBS)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Smallville</strong>, 9ª temporada (CW) &#8211; Os fãs do super boy que me perdoem, mas, com a saída de Lana e Lex da trama, esta série perdeu a razão de ser e de existir. Simplesmente a ignorei e a deixei de lado. Em minha opinião, Smallville clama por um final digno, o quanto antes. Não há mais fôlego para sua continuidade.</p>
<p><strong>Southland</strong>, 2ª temporada (NBC)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Sábado, 26 de Setembro</em></p>
<p><strong>Saturday Night Live</strong>, 35ª temporada (NBC)</p>
<p><em>Domingo, 27 de Setembro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>The Amazing Race</strong>, 15ª temporada (CBS)<br />
<strong>American Dad</strong>, 5ª temporada (FOX)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Brothers &#38; Sisters</strong>, 4ª temporada (ABC) – Atualmente, esta atração é, sem sombra de dúvida, a minha predileta. É simplesmente impossível não se sensibilizar diante do carisma que emana naturalmente da família Walker. Sally Field está sensacional como matriarca de uma gigantesca e pródiga prole. Seus cinco filhos, todos eles com características absurdamente únicas, proporcionam momentos de descontração, drama, comédia e suspense, sempre mantendo uma verossimilhança assustadora com os hábitos familiares. Em dados momentos, a comunhão dos personagens é tamanha, que facilmente somos transportados a um plano no qual, ilusoriamente, pensamos que eles realmente fazem parte de uma mesma família. A depender da sua situação emocional, é provável que, em algum momento desta série, você já tenha ansiado ter uma mãe tal como a Nora; uma astuta irmã, como a Kitty; ou cálida, como a Sarah; ou um perspicaz, como o Kevin. Enfim, sou fã incondicional desta brilhante produção e faço votos de que sua vida útil se estenda por muitos e produtivos anos.<br />
<strong><br />
Californication</strong>, 3ª temporada (Showtime) &#8211; Aguardo ansiosamente – quase em cólicas – pela terceira temporada desta série. Com um roteiro sagaz, ágil e despudorado, Californication é uma das séries mais inovadoras da atualidade. É inevitável não torcer pelo protagonista, o escritor Hank Moody (David Duchovny), ante as agruras impostas pela vida em função de decisões equivocadas. Todos os personagens são essencialmente peculiares e marcantes. Becca, a filha de Hank; Karen, a ex; Charlie, o agente; Mia, a ninfeta; e Marcy, mulher de Charlie. Esta nova fase mostrará o dia a dia de pai (Hank) e filha (Becca), agora, morando juntos, já que a mãe, Karen, foi para Nova York.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>The Cleveland Show</strong>, 1ª temporada (FOX)<br />
<strong>Cold Case</strong>, 7ª temporada (CBS)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Desperate Housewives</strong>, 6ª temporada (ABC) &#8211; A última temporada terminou de forma eletrizante, com a morte de Edie, a volta de Susan e Mike, a derrocada de Dave, a nova gravidez de Lynette Scavo e muito mais. São premissas auspiciosas que permitem que vislumbremos uma nova etapa em Wisteria Lane, repleta de situações inusitadas, dramas, comédia, surpresas. A exemplo do roteiro inventivo de House, Desperate Housewives adentra à sua sexta temporada com fôlego de sobra e muitas histórias para se explorar. Mais uma vez, certamente, seremos presenteados com um show de interpretação das quatro protagonistas deste seriado, que também habita a lista do meu Top Five.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Dexter</strong>, 4ª temporada (Showtime) &#8211; Como um serial-killer reage ante a paternidade? Esta é a pergunta que todos os fãs de Dexter estão se fazendo no momento, às vésperas de a quarta temporada inaugurar os trabalhos. Provavelmente este será o mote que norteará as ações da nova fase de Dexter, uma série instigante e envolvente, haja vista a dose de tensão e suspense que permeia todas as situações. O elenco é afiadíssimo e Michael C. Hall incorpora o protagonista de forma visceral. A depender da situação, é quase impossível cerrar os olhos durante um episódio sob risco de se perder algum detalhe determinante para os rumos da trama.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Family Guy</strong>, 8ª temporada (FOX)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>The Simpsons</strong>, 21ª temporada (FOX) – Tenho sido uma ovelha desgarrada deste decano das séries. Mas, faço questão de ressaltar, ainda compartilho da ideia de vitaliciedade a esta sensacional produção.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Segunda, 28 de Setembro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Lie to Me</strong>, 2ª temporada (FOX)<br />
<strong>Trauma</strong>, 1ª temporada (NBC)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quarta, 30 de Setembro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Hank</strong>, 1ª temporada (ABC)<br />
<strong>The Middle</strong>, 1ª temporada (ABC)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quinta, 1º de Outubro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Private Practice</strong>, 3ª temporada (ABC)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Sexta, 2 de Outubro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>‘Til Death</strong>, 4ª temporada (FOX)<br />
<strong>Stargate Universe</strong>, 1ª temporada (Syfy)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Terça, 6 de Outubro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Scare Tactics</strong>, 1ª temporada (Syfy)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Nip/Tuck</strong>, 6ª temporada (FX) – Acompanho Nip Tuck desde o início. Assisti a todas as cinco temporadas e, portanto, posso afirma com propriedade que esta série descambou para o lado circense (ridículo). Os dramas e tragédias se potencializaram de tal modo que se tornaram cômicos. Os inesperados destinos de Sean e Cristian desagradaram a todos – sem falar da Julia. Não é que a série tenha perdido o fôlego, mas, sim, o fio da meada. Até pouco tempo atrás, considerava-a inovadora por explorar temas intocados, porém, agora, para mim, ela não passa de mais uma produção banal que aborda questões superficiais, sem a menor importância.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quarta, 7 de Outubro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>South Park</strong>, 13ª temporada (Comedy Central)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Sexta, 9 de Outubro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Sanctuary</strong>, 1ª temporada (Syfy)<br />
<strong>Ugly Betty</strong>, 4ª temporada (ABC)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Quinta, 15 de Outubro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>30 Rock</strong>, 4ª temporada (NBC) &#8211; Destaco dois pontos principais desta série genial e, por vezes, incompreendida: o roteiro e os atores. O texto é de uma primazia e agilidade inquestionável, com sacadas atuais e sagazes. A atuação de todo o elenco é impecável – diria impagável. Há uma sintonia singular entre todos. A relação entre Liz e Jack é indescritivelmente cômica. Os demais personagens compõem uma confraria de humor extremamente refinado: Tracy é hilário; a Jena, indefectível; e o Kenneth, surreal. No seu terceiro ano, 30 Rock continuará a exibir as investidas de Jack em sua mesopotâmica missão de ascender ao cargo máximo da NBC; as peripécias da vida privada de Liz Lemon; e as mazelas da intrépida trupe do mais improvável programa de TV.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Terça, 3 de Novembro</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>V</strong>, 1ª temporada (ABC)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><em>2010 &#8211; Estreias e séries confirmadas</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Caprica</strong>, 1ª temporada – 22 de Janeiro<br />
<strong>24</strong>, 8ª temporada &#8211; Janeiro<br />
<strong>American Idol</strong>, 9ª temporada &#8211; Janeiro<br />
<strong>LOST</strong>, 6ª temporada &#8211; Janeiro<br />
<strong>Damages</strong>, 3ª temporada – Sem data confirmada<br />
<strong>Breaking Bad</strong>, 3ª temporada – Sem data confirmada</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Chuck</strong>, 3ª temporada – Sem data confirmada – Sou um apaixonado inveterado pelas maluquices de Chuck e da sua destemida equipe de agentes secretos do governo norte-americano. Surpreendentemente, em vias de iniciar sua terceira temporada, Chuck ainda não caiu no gosto popular. Uma pena, pois suas histórias são envolventes, intrigantes e geram incontáveis expectativas acerca do futuro do Intersect, da relação de Chuck com Sarah e das mazelas vivenciadas na Buy More. Nesse novo ano, a apreensão dos fãs da série reside em dois pontos: quais serão os desdobramentos das novas habilidades adquiridas pelo personagem principal; e se essa será será a derradeira temporada da série, uma vez que seus produtores já deram mostras de que não estão satisfeitos com o desempenho da produção em termos de audiência.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Party Down</strong>, 2ª temporada – Sem data confirmada<br />
<strong>Royal Pains</strong>, 2ª temporada – Sem data confirmada<br />
<strong>Burn Notice</strong>, 4ª temporada – Sem data confirmada</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Weeds</strong>, 6ª temporada – Sem data confirmada – Comecei a acompanhá-la há pouco, no entanto, já reuni subsídios suficientes para constatar de que se trata de uma série imperdível. A temática é inovadora – rompe uma série de tabus e paradigmas, por tocar em um assunto normalmente posto de lado em sociedades permeadas pela hipocrisia moral (maconha). A protagonista Nancy é apaixonante e seus complexos filhos, encantadores.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Big Love</strong>, 4ª temporada &#8211; Sem data confirmada<br />
<strong>Dexter</strong>, 5ª temporada &#8211; Sem data confirmada<br />
<strong>Entourage</strong>, 7ª temporada &#8211; Sem data confirmada</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Hung</strong>, 2ª temporada &#8211; Sem data confirmada – Atualmente, Hung está próxima do final de sua temporada inaugural. À primeira vista, a série é aviltante; traz para os nossos lares um tema árido, nem um pouco frugal, de difícil absorção. Porém, com o desenrolar da trama, o telespectador acaba desenvolvendo uma grande empatia com o personagem principal, Richard. A despeito da premissa inicial do seriado, que, para os desavisados, pode soar como pornográfica, os roteiristas conduzem a questão da exploração do dote fálico do protagonista de maneira sutil e bem real. Portanto, não há motivos para temer possíveis cenas cujo mote lascivo possa ferir os princípios de ditos puritanos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>True Blood</strong>, 3ª temporada &#8211; Sem data confirmada – Como abordar a temática de vampiros sem descambar para o ridículo, a fanfarronice e a bizarrice? Longe de ser a panacéia das produções artísticas desse segmento, True Blood surgiu com uma poesia contemporânea inserida nesse contexto de vampiros.  Há momentos, sim, em que há certa apelação, mas, nunca, de forma ridícula. A interpretação de Anna Paquin, como Sookie, é visceral, intensa e extremamente convincente. Há de se ressaltar, também, a peculiar beleza da referida protagonista. Agora, sei que serei alvo de críticas, Stephen Moyer, como Bill, deixa muito a desejar, sobretudo em cenas que demandam maior expressividade e elevadas doses de drama. Falo isso mesmo levando em conta que o personagem de um vampiro milenar deve ser de uma impassibilidade marmórea quase inexorável, mas, ainda assim, Stephen se perde na tentativa de transparecer uma aura austera. Os demais personagens dão um verdadeiro show: Jason, Sam, Tara, Lafayette, entre outros. A série está no auge de sua segunda temporada e, portanto, seria incoerente de minha parte projetar a terceira, sendo que muitas incógnitas ainda estão por se descortinar.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Das novidades do primeiro semestre deste ano, a única que aparentemente não emplacou foi: Mental. O que não representa nenhuma surpresa, já que, assim como mencionei em outra oportunidade, a série já iniciara suas atividades com uma mácula: roteiro batido – clínica, médicos, casos quase impossíveis, destemida equipe, doutor rompedor de paradigmas e eticamente questionável.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para finalizar este imenso post, gostaria de acrescentar a essa pródiga lista de produções, a série The Diary of Anne Frank, produzida pela BBC de Londres. Dividida em cinco emocionantes episódios, a trama é baseada no diário da menina judia Anne Frank que, ao lado de sua família e outros judeus, viveu reclusa por dois anos num sótão de um prédio, na Holanda, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Durante essa estadia, Anne compôs um diário, com esmero e destreza gramatical digna de grandes escritores, contendo relatos sobre o dia a dia naquele lugar e as impressões que tinha acerca dos outros e das relações que matinha. Após deflagrado o esconderijo e Anne e sua  família serem levadas a campos de concentração, o diário fora encontrado por uma amiga e, posteriormente, publicado, tornando-se um Best-Seller, traduzido para diversos idiomas. Na série, é espantosa semelhança da garota que interpreta Anne com a real. O elenco, correto e irrepreensível, consegue traduzir perfeitamente o terror e o pânico os quais a família fora submetida à época.</p>

<description><![CDATA[With Mad Men coming back to the airwaves tonight – I&#8217;m clutching my remote already – my obsess]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>With <em><strong>Mad Men</strong></em> coming back to the airwaves tonight – I&#8217;m clutching my remote already – my obsessive-compulsive love for television is rearing its head once again. Don Draper and crew aside, here are my most anticipated season (and series) premieres for the upcoming TV season.</p>
<p><em><strong>Cougar Town</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33" title="courtney-cox-cougar-town" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/courtney-cox-cougar-town1.jpg" alt="courtney-cox-cougar-town" width="200" height="172" /><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>Krista Miller? Yes. Courtney Cox Arquette? Yes! Busy Philipps? I just had an orgasm. Much like I anticipate Cox’s Jules Cobb will orgasm with many younger hunks. Watch out, Demi Moore. Your title is at stake.</p>
<p><em><strong>Gossip Girl</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-34" title="gossip_girl400" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/gossip_girl400.jpg" alt="gossip_girl400" width="400" height="300" /><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>Ed Westwick makes me swoon. Chace Crawford too. And Penn Badgley. And despite my roaring homosexuality, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester. Even <em>Gossip</em> parentals Matthew Settle and Kelly Rutherford are bangable. If this show were all eye candy, I’d be happy. The fact that its characters have grown into compelling and well-rounded individuals puts me through the moon. I love <em>Gossip Girl </em>so much I’m even willing to deal with Michelle Tratchenberg’s terrible acting (But not Taylor Momsen’s awful hair. Bring back pretty Jenny!).</p>
<p><em><strong>30 Rock</strong></em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-35" title="30rock" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/30rock.jpg" alt="30rock" width="400" height="311" /></p>
<p>My muffin top is all that, whole-grain, low fat. I’m probably way too much of a Liz Lemon, but Jenna is the one who holds my heart. Also, Jack Donaghy. I don’t care how fat Alec Baldwin gets or how many times he calls his daughter a “thoughtless little pig,” I’d still have sex with him. Who knows? Maybe she <em>is</em> a pig. Just a thought.</p>
<p><em><strong>American Idol</strong></em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-36" title="paulaabdul_crying3" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/paulaabdul_crying3.jpg" alt="paulaabdul_crying3" width="393" height="300" /></p>
<p>Straight up now tell me, do you really wanna love Paula Abdul forever? I don’t. So it should come as no surprise that I’m uber-pumped for a Paula-free season. I can finally watch the judges comments without having to be drunk.</p>
<p><em><strong>Melrose Place</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37" title="the_new_melrose_place_hit_or_miss" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/the_new_melrose_place_hit_or_miss.jpg" alt="the_new_melrose_place_hit_or_miss" width="405" height="566" /><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>Confession time. I would say that I hope it shocks you, but I know that it won’t. Back in the day, circa grade 6 or 7, I used to come home from school, get into my pajamas or sweats, make a bowl of popcorn, and settled down for a few reruns of <em>Melrose Place. </em>It aired at 5 p.m. Most kids were probably out riding their bikes. Maybe that’s why I was so fat. Anyway, I’m exciting for the return of Michael, Jo, Jane and my ultimate favorite, Sidney (even though she dies in the first episode. Reportedly.).</p>
<p><em><strong>90210</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-38" title="90210-cast-2" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/90210-cast-2.jpg" alt="90210-cast-2" width="400" height="300" /><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>What did Annie hit in the finale? And by what, I mean who? Shenae Grimes seems like a dirty little bitch, but she’s awfully pretty (in an anorexic kind of way). My personal favorite character is Adriana and, though the show is pretty dreadfully written, I am a loyal viewer. Rob Estes is a mad DILF, too.</p>
<p><em><strong>Grey’s Anatomy</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-40" title="hot-bald-wife_442x347" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/hot-bald-wife_442x3471.jpg" alt="hot-bald-wife_442x347" width="442" height="347" /><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>I didn’t want Izzie to die. I really didn’t. Bailey maybe. Not Izzie (maybe because I am one of the only people who actually like Katherine Heigl). Therefore, I’m ecstatic to return to Seattle Grace knowing very well that Izzie Stevens remains a resident. I’ll miss T.R. Knight, but it’s not like he’s had anything to do in the last two seasons anyway. Bring on the trauma drama.</p>
<p><em><strong>Desperate Housewives</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-41" title="91" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/91.jpg" alt="91" width="423" height="354" /><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>Okay, it’s not a consistently good show. The quality dips from god-awful to stellar in mere weeks. But there are a few things that keep me tuning in – Marcia Cross’s dramatic brilliance, Eva Longoria Parker’s amazing comedic timing, and the hotness that is Doug Savant. Oh, and lets not forget the evolution of Teri Hatcher’s face. Plus, Julie’s back this season, and I find it very hard to resist a pretentious child.</p>
<p><em><strong>The Beautiful Life</strong></em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-42" title="beautiful-life3" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/beautiful-life3.jpg" alt="beautiful-life3" width="450" height="338" /></p>
<p>I’m not much of a Mischa Barton fan (is anyone, really?), but I’m excited for this show. Why? Because it looks like it has all the things I look for in a guilty pleasure: high fashion, sexy men, slutty ladies, and oodles of cash flow.</p>
<p><em><strong>Brothers &#38; Sisters</strong></em></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-43" title="109796_2861" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/6a00d8341bfc7553ef00e54f27ecb28834-640wi.jpg" alt="109796_2861" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>I miss the Walkers tremendously, from Nora and her ill-executed but well-meaning dinner parties to Justin and his newfound ability to complete full sentences (and still look so pretty) to Kevin and Sarah and their bitchy exchanges. I’m hoping they don’t mess up the Rebecca thing but making her all obsessive, but I have faith in the writers and can’t wait to be back at the table with the whole clan. Minus Tommy.</p>
<p><em><strong>Law and Order: SVU</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-44" title="SVU" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/svu.jpg" alt="SVU" width="288" height="361" /><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>Two words: Chris Meloni. And that’s all she wrote.</p>
<p><strong><em>Samantha Who?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><br />
</em></strong></p>
<p><span><em><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-45" title="christina applegate" src="http://explosiveblogarrhea.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/christina-applegate.jpg" alt="christina applegate" width="307" height="320" /></strong></em></span></p>
<p><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oh wait, ABC cancelled it. Assholes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I&#8217;m also very excited for <strong><em>Private Practice</em><span style="font-weight:normal;">, but revisiting that season finale is just a tad too traumatic. Poor, poor Violet. And I think I&#8217;ve given up on </span><em>The Hills. </em><span style="font-weight:normal;">I can&#8217;t deal with Spiedi.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anything I missed, fellow boobtubers?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Much love.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">BM</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>DROP DEAD DIVA: 1.03 &#8220;Do Over&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>I watched this episode on Sunday, but I&#8217;m still having trouble with my thoughts on it. It&#8217;s a cute show. It really is. But there&#8217;s something amiss in my book. Like, why is Deb going along with being Jane? Why doesn&#8217;t she cart off and just move on with some other life entirely? Why isn&#8217;t she spending all her time in the gym to get back to the model size she likes?</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no part of her that&#8217;s rebelling against her new life. Whether she&#8217;s considered good or bad at the gates of death really has little to do with it. It would be a natural tendency to go back to the familiar, so why is she so comfortable falling into Jane&#8217;s life? Taking cases without much of a fight? Going into work every day? I&#8217;m just not sure I get it.</p>
<p>Is it because her old boyfriend works there? Not really. She spends little time with him, and you&#8217;d think that if that were the thing pulling her in, she&#8217;d be talking about it more to Stacy or Fred. But it&#8217;s not really mentioned.</p>
<p>It makes the show just a little less believable, and while I like Jane, she doesn&#8217;t have the adorability factor&#8211;or even whacky factor&#8211;that Christina Applegate did in <em>Samantha Who?</em>. Sure, she&#8217;s a likable character, and I think I could really get to like her a long time from now, but I just think she&#8217;d be stronger if she didn&#8217;t have the Deb baggage&#8211;the same baggage that makes the premise of the show.</p>
<p>But about <em>this</em> episode. The part that intrigued me the most were her dreams. Could Jane really be hostile about Deb&#8217;s taking over her body? Well, it&#8217;s an interesting situation isn&#8217;t it. Jane had a chance at life (at least we&#8217;d assume), and Deb stole it from her. If I were Jane, I&#8217;d be mad too.</p>
<p>Which really makes me want this show to be a horror story. I mean, think about it. Some supernatural event allows one soul to take over another and then the original ghost comes after her? <em>It was an accident the whole time, I swear! </em>Friends being killed left and right. And poor Grayson. Well, methinks that they&#8217;d end up being the happy couple in the end, but it would add a little more drama into the show.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know. I really want to like this show. I think it has a lot of potential, but it&#8217;s almost weighed down by the fact that Jane is a lawyer. I mean, I could see Deb taking over Jane&#8217;s life more if she worked somewhere else&#8211;a magazine, a shop, something like that. But a lawyer. Now we&#8217;re adding cases into her struggle, and it&#8217;s just&#8230;too much? So much that we can&#8217;t develop what needs to be?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s still a cute show and I think it has potential. I love watching Jane and Fred together. But there&#8217;s still something wrong. Hopefully, that fixes itself soon.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="tv herbst" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3217/2960030936_fc915fdebe.jpg" alt="" width="383" height="255" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Foto: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/annegates/">Imyourstar</a></p>
<p>Ich habe Ende August Geburtstag und habe wie immer ein zwiespältiges Gefühl dabei: einerseits freue ich mich auf das Fest (ich feiere immer meine Geburtstage), andererseits bin ich ein wenig traurig. Ich werde 1 Jahr älter und ja, es kommt kurz danach der Herbst. Der graue, kalte, regnerische Herbst. Wobei, zugegeben, Herbst hat auch gute Seiten: Man hat wieder mehr Zeit zum Lesen oder Fernsehen…  man kann aber auch dick mit Schal etc. eingemummt einen schönen Spaziergang machen und dabei Musik hören bzw. mal an gar nichts denken… Ja, an manchen Tagen kann Herbst so gemütlich sein!</p>
<p>Noch eine gute Seite von dieser Jahreszeit wäre die unglaubliche Auswahl an <a href="http://www.oe24.at/kultur/Vorschau_auf_den_heissen_Serien-Herbst_345606.ece">Serien</a> im TV. Ich schaue sehr gerne Serien!</p>
<p>Man hat im Herbst aber die Qual der Wahl und so erlebt man doch die seltenen Momente, wo man bei hunderten TV-Kanälen die letzten Nullen bei der Anzahl der Kanäle am liebsten streichen möchte.</p>
<p>Nichtsdestotrotz denke ich,<!--more--> dass man nicht mehr als 2 Serien gleichzeitig anschauen kann. Ich habe das zumindest nie geschafft, somit muss ich wohl von den unten aufgelisteten 8 Top-Serien auf 6 verzichten. Jedoch auf welche nur? Wie schon gesagt, die Qual der Wahl…</p>
<ul>
<li>Grey&#8217;s Anatomy, Teil zwei der 2. Staffel (1. September,  ORF)</li>
<li><a href="http://serienreporter.wordpress.com/category/samantha-who/">Samantha Who</a> (6. September, ORF)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.focus.de/kultur/kino_tv/focus-fernsehclub/californication-endlich-guter-sex_aid_335850.html">Californication </a>(5. September,ORF)</li>
<li>Medium, 5. Staffel (1. September, FOX)</li>
<li><a href="http://info.sky.de/inhalt/de/programminfo_highlight.jsp?eventNr=000005609998000000000000">House of Saddam </a>(4. September, FOX)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.fox.com/terminator/">Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles</a>, 2. Staffel (7. September, Sky Cinema Hits)</li>
<li>Dexter, 3. Staffel (5. Oktober, Sky Cinema Hits)</li>
<li>Dirty Sexy Money, 2. Staffel (5. Oktober, FOX)</li>
</ul>
