Oy television!

Work has been very frustrating for me these past few weeks. I feel as though I am left to put out fires that my boss created. The thing is, I had already forewarned her about the consequences of her decision. She didn’t heed the warning and now, the sh*t has hit the fan so to speak. Nakakainis talaga!

Moving on…

There is a TV show that came out about a month or two ago entitled “Fringe”. It’s on Tuesdays at nine in the evening and the entire family is hooked on it. We all sit in the living room, huddled together on the couch. Fringe is almost like a cross between the X-Files and CSI. Of course, Dr. Walter Bishop (an “Einstein-like” genius - played by John Noble) and his son, Peter Bishop (played by Dawson’s Creek’s Joshua Jackson) are unbelievably intelligent characters on the show but I still enjoy all the scientific garble they come up with. I get hooked on all the mystery. I feel the need to find out what’s going to happen next and what “the pattern” really is. I want to find out who the bald guy is and why he’s important. It’s really very addictive.

I have been pretty good at following my favorite TV shows this season – Grey’s Anatomy, So You Think You Can Dance Canada, Fringe, Eli Stone and Two and a Half Men. Oh, and I almost forgot Prison Break (it’s really Steve’s show but we watch it together). I always get so stressed out whenever I watch Prison Break. I want the good guys to succeed and for everything to just work out. As much as I like the suspense, it’s also the one thing that kills me. Steve likes the twists and turns and the intricate things that happen in the story. I just get stressed when something unexpected happens that throws everything off. After awhile though, it just gets a little old. I mean, seriously, how many prisons do we expect Scofield to escape from? And really, the plot is getting a wee bit crazy. A tumor?! C’mon!

Anyhow, I hear Dr. Erika Hahn is being kicked out of Grey’s Anatomy due to her character’s sexuality. Although the network says that they decided to let her character go not because of the character being a lesbian but because they felt that “the magic and chemistry” of Dr. Erika Hahn wouldn’t sustain it in the long run. I think it might be a little of both. I saw the episode last week where Erika and Callie get into an argument about Dr. Izzie Stevens. I wonder if that’s the last episode for Dr. Hahn.

So You Think You Can Dance Canada is on its first season and it seems to be doing fine although I find that the judges are less critical compared to the judges for So You Think You Can Dance (US version). Personally, I prefer Nigel and Mary Murphy doing the judging. But I have to say that I also like Jean-Marc. He’s such a sweet guy and very encouraging. There are also a lot of talented dancers in Canada and boy! Aren’t they good-looking?! I have a crush on Nico Archambault… he’s soooo cute, sooo talented and such a gentleman! AND he speaks French! I melt every time he comes on stage. I think that if I ever met him in person, I’d probably end up making a fool of myself.

Steve and I are trying to follow Heroes this season but since it is on the same time slot as Two and a Half Men, we find ourselves constantly flipping between the two shows and we’ve missed some key events in Heroes. I guess we could always rent the DVD when it comes out or watch it over the internet.

I enjoy watching TV but I only really follow certain shows. I feel bad when I miss an episode of my favorite shows but it doesn’t kill me. I figure I can always find it on YouTube or some other website.
