  My TV Round-up to Kick off the New Year

  So I realized that it's been a really long time since I posted anything and I figured before the semester really gets underway and I don't have time to read or write anything about TV in any fun capacity I would update the blog.

  Fall TV: I probably shouldn't have watched as much TV as I did during the fall but what can I say I'm addicted, some of it was for homework, and everything was finally back after the disrupted season last year. I was most excited for House, Gossip Girl, and Chuck to come back and in my opinion none of them have disappointed. Both GG and Chuck are so not suffering from a sophmore slump and I know I'm probably in the minority but I like Thirteen on House and I certainly cannot complain about the witty banter or sarcasm from House b/c it has seriously rocked so far. TSCC has surprised me the most. Each week I'm completely intrigued with the storylines and since I have never read spoilers for this show it's refreshing to be shocked or at least not know ahead of time and I get to actually enjoy watching the story unfold, assuming they will start to pay off the many set-ups. I was really enjoying Smallville and thought that it had completely turned itself around in a good way that was until they took away Chloe's memory which continues to anger me everytime I think about it. Heroes continues to decline and if anything else were on Monday's at 9pm I would stop watching it. I just discovered Stargate Atlantis this summer and of course it ended like last week. One day I get my hands on the DVDs and really g through all five seasons but for now I'm content to watch the reruns on Sci-Fi Channel. I'm going to miss Pushing Daises a lot, once again I have fallen in love with a show that is unique and brilliant and once again it's been cancelled. I just hope ABC will air the remaining episodes soon so I don't have to wait for the DVD to see them.

  Hooray: Friday Night Lights is coming back to regular TV, I fell in love with it from Hulu and now I'm psyched to see the new season. Also I'm excited for Dollhouse. I don't really know what to expect from it. I've tried not to read anything because I would rather not have expectations going into it. Also ER is finally ending which I've been waiting for foreeeever. Although I could care less about any of the newer characters its been fun to see who from the past shows up each week.

  Even More Random Thoughts: With Grissom leaving CSI I really wonder how much longer I'll watch. There have been so many exits within this season and the last that I'm afraid CSI could turn into the next ER where it becomes a revolving door...

  What I learned about TV from school: So for my Television Studies class last semester I wrote my final paper on the effects of American Consumerism / Advertising format of broadcast tv on the tv show Chuck and I learned that Chuck along with almost all of the NBC network is just hours of shameless promotion, I still like Chuck though

  Top 5 Changes

  I disappeared for 24 hours and now I am posting this blog as part of the Gone Dark campaign to support the tv.com community in having our voices heard regarding the new 'look' for tv.com...

  1. The Color Scheme is intense, the old color scheme or the ability to personalize would be greatly appreciated.

  2. The 'My Listings' feature used to include network/channel info as well as show name, episode title and time. Without this info the listings are not that efficent.

  3. What happened to the Last episode and Next Episode feature on each of the show pages?

  4.All of the show pages look uniform now and don't even include a photo of the main characters or logo. I enjoyed that each page had at least one thing on it that represnted that particular show.

  5. Please fix the bugs, I know I was not alone in not being able to post a blog or in forums when the change occured. I know that people are most likely working on the many voiced problems but this site is about adding content and contributing to message boards so losing those abilities, even for a short while, is frustrating.

  Blackout Day...

  So its not quite midnight here on the east coast of the US but before I forget or fall asleep I just wanted to make sure I posted here and logged off before the 30th.
