This is so true...

Poor Conan.

*crosses fingers*

Just an unconfirmed rumor at this point, but Radio Times (U.K.) mentioned (in an article about Glee) that All the Small Things will get a second series. Oh, I hope that it's true! And I hope the whole cast will be back...though I think Sarah Lancashire (Esther) is already busy with another series. And Bryan Dick is filming a movie, as well as doing stage work. So the show will have to wait...can't have ATST without Esther and Jake!

NBC drama.

Jay Leno's show gets axed (no surprise, it was very weak), and NBC wants to put him at 11:30, moving Conan O'Brien and the Tonight Show to 12:05. And O'Brien is saying NO WAY. Meanwhile, David Letterman is laughing his ass off on the Late Show over at CBS.

I always liked Leno on The Tonight Show, but NBC's 10:00 p.m. "experiment" was a failure. It's time to let him go, and give O'Brien his chance. FOX could use a late night variety show. Leno could go there...or O'Brien if NBC decides to fire him.

Another one bites the dust.

CBS has announced that As the World Turns will go off the air next September. Soon, only ABC will have any soap operas at all- NBC is already down to one. I guess this is pretty much the end for daytime drama, if even the old standbys can't stay on the air!

Ugh.

Bones- The Gamer in the Grease. From tv.com: Booth and Brennan are called in to investigate the death of a competitive gamer. The gamer's success gave him many admirers -- but also a lot of enemies, which make for multiple suspects in the case. Meanwhile, Fisher bonds with Hodgins and Sweets. The "bonding" involves camping out for the new movie Avatar.

Really, FOX? An episode with a subplot about the movie Avatar? That was the LAMEST excuse for product placement I have ever seen. It's almost enough to turn me off of the show.

The "A" plot was just as lame, and so was the reason for the killing. And that beginning (the corpse in the grease falls apart) was just gross! Too gross, even for this show. It was funny, though. I loved Dr. Saroyan's comments on how easy it is to stay on a diet at her job...

Only other bonus- it was nice to see Hodgins and Sweets bonding a bit.

House- Wilson. From tv.com: Wilson insists on treating the case of a friend and former patient, Tucker, who is suffering from paralysis of his right arm. However, he soon discovers that he can't separate his feelings from his professional attitude. Meanwhile, Cuddy tries to buy a new house.

Oh, House. Once again, after a couple of lackluster episodes that almost made me stop watching, you come back with one that just punches me in the heart! The Patient of the Week (Joshua Malina, formerly of Sports Night and The West Wing) is yet another asshole I can't care about...except this time it affects Wilson. It's really hard to watch Wilson be unable to treat his patient objectively (especially when he decides to donate part of his liver to him!). The best part, as usual, is the House/Wilson stuff. When Wilson says he wants to go through with the liver donation, House tries to stop him by saying: "If you die, I'm alone." Sob!

The whole House/Cuddy thing is getting on my nerves. House needs to drop it. I can't believe Wilson is starting to help him try to split up Cuddy and her new boyfriend! Please, writers, that crap is better suited for Grey's Anatomy or Mercy. *gags*

Good bit of dialog from the episode- fine example of House/Wilson banter:

House: He's a self-important jerk.
Dr. Wilson: He's my friend.
House: He's a self-important jerk.
Dr. Wilson: Seems to be what I'm attracted to.

A great T.V. writer gone...

David Lloyd has passed away. If you don't know who he was, I have four words for you. Chuckles. Bites. The. Dust. The most hilarious Mary Tyler Moore Show episode.

The funeral scene:

He also wrote for Rhoda, Cheers, and Fraiser.

Okay, SVU is getting interesting again.

Big blow up between Benson/Stabler and Cabot. I think Alex should have stayed in Witness Protection. :p The big happy SVU family is kaput. (well, not really. It's all hugs and kisses at the end. Sort of. :p)

That was actually a good episode. Stabler family drama that didn't make me want to puke for a change! Two good stories in one- Stabler's son goes missing while trying to find his friend, Alex nearly throws away a rape case to save her own ass.
