Miscellaneous Musings, Pt. III

Hey there fans, it's been awhile. Nice of you to stop by.

Gilmore Girls is seeing a late cancellation, and the seventh season finale on May 15 will in fact be a series finale. I got hooked on this show about 4 or 5 years into it, when I finally rented the first disc of the first season. I think I've seen them all, and as good as I think it was, I'm not devastated that it's ending. I feel a little bad for them though, because they didn't get to have their celebration as they finished filming the last episode. Even though it came down to the actors not wanting to commit, and not the network shutting it down. it'll be interesting to see what takes it's place on Tuesday. CW needs to find a gem because they lost the OC recently, too.

Speaking of shows ending, Lost knows where it's headed. They are going to have three more 16-episode seasons, and they are picking up the hot trend of waiting until January to start the seasons non-stop. I stopped watching back when it went on hiatus in February, and I wonder how many more people did the same. Seems strange for a show that popular to announce "shortened" seasons, although the 48 episodes would have made for two normal TV seasons had they not stretched it to three.

Scrubs is again on bubble, apparently. This is another show I really like, but it's starting to have that Friends feel, where every few months another question pops up if the show will end. I read that a promo for Scrubs said "only four episodes left," but they said the same thing for Heroes. Zach Braff already signed or at least agreed to an extension, but I guess they're still not sure if the show will stay on, or if it will move to another network, or what. You know, in today's TV world, where lasting one whole season is a positive thing, you'd think a network like NBC would want to keep a show that has lasted six. Maybe if they stopped moving it, it would find an audience to keep.

I stopped watching American Idol. A lot of it has to do with Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars on Tuesdays. But also, The Worst Top 12 Ever turned into An Even Worse Top 6, and so on. While it wasn't as predictable as I made it seem (heh), I do have the final 4 correct.

My picks revisited (and who really left):

March 14 - Haley Scarnato (Brandon)
March 21 - Sanjaya Malakar (Stephanie)
March 28 - Phil Stacey (Sligh)
April 4 - Brandon Rogers (Gina)
April 11 - Stephanie Edwards (Haley)
April 18 - Chris Richardson (Sanjaya)
April 25 - Gina Glocksen (none)
May 2 - Chris Sligh (Richardson and Phil)

FINAL FOUR

May 9 - Jordin Sparks
May 16 - Melinda Doolittle
May 22 Finale - Blake Lewis vs. Lakisha


I think I'm out for now. Tune in next.... oh, whenever I feel like updating.
