Finales and such

Well, maybe I won't have to decide if I'm going to be watching American Idol on Tuesdays next season. Gilmore Girls AND Veronica Mars will not be returning, opening up 8-10 on Tuesday nights. Beauty and the Geek will be on Tuesday at 8 sometime, though they only have about 8 episodes per season and I doubt it would coincide with Idol's season. Actually, it did this past season, but during auditions. But with no GG/VM, maybe they will move it around so they won't have to compete.

Smallville's season finale was strange. The rumors said someone might die. Well, it appears as though Lana, Lois and Chloe all died. Chloe's tears healed Lois, but now Chloe looks unconscious or dead. Lois's car blew up, but we didn't actually SEE her get in it. Nor do we know who planted the bomb, as Lex seemed surprised to hear the news. And I think they introduced Bizarro. I'm not big on the history of the comics so I don't know what the story might be there.

Monday will be 24 and Heroes. I'll probably watch the first hour of 24, then Heroes. I'll catch the last hour of 24 online somewhere. VM will end Tuesday. Also, I need to catch up on the Scrubs hour finale I missed tonight.

I need to catch up with about 5 episodes of Boston Legal. I never remember those shows that start at 10PM.

Miscellaneous Musings, Friends Edition

Thanks to the city library and their insane practice of lending out DVDs (good thing I don't have a burner), I've been watching a lot of Friends lately. In early Season 10, I've noticed a lot of guest stars that have gone on to play pretty prominent supporting roles on other shows. Obviously the show had many guest stars, some of whom were already pretty well known. But these caught my eye.

Aisha Tyler - 24
Ellen Pompeo - Grey's Anatomy
Gregory Itzin - 24
Cristine Rose - Heroes


Ok, so there aren't THAT many so far. But when I saw the last two sitting side by side, knowing they are now on opposing shows on Mondays at 9:00 (Although I don't know if Itzin will be back on 24), it made me chuckle.


Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to say that How I Met Your Mother better come back next season, because I'm "waiting for it."
