2009 Finale Extravaganza

Here are two to four sentence summaries of all of my show's finale's, minus American Idol.

Gossip Girl

Chuck and Blair finally get together, but will inevitably break up episode one of next season. Otherwise, it was pretty uneventful. OH HEY MATT DOYLE (yum).

90210

This was such a great all around episode, by 90210 standards, and a great cliffhanger (hitandrunwhat). Liam was mighty fine, and Annie was tolerable! Huge bonus: no birthing scene.

The Office

Highlights: Jim was so happy when he found out that Pam was pregnant; Ryan on his phone during volleyball; Toby's HR friend; the spider in Jim's baseball glove; Dwight's stalling tactics; Slumdunder Mifflinaire; Michael being sweet with Holly. All around, it was a really great episode.

Parks and Recreation

Eh, I don't know about this show. I really only watch it to support Amy Poehler because I love her; I doubt that I'll watch next season. Nothing really stood out this episode.

How I Met Your Mother

OMGBARNEYANDROBINILOVEMYLIFE. So, maybe a long-term relationship with them is not explicitly stated or shown. Renee and I rewatched it and dissected every Barney/Robin interaction to be confident that they'll get together. I mean, did you not see the look they gave each other right before he took the both physical and metaphorical 'leap'? Furthermore, I like how everything actually did matter. Like, he had to date Stella and had to get the yellow umbrella in order to get set up with the teaching job by Tony. It is actually all connected.

Saturday Night Live

Not much to say since I hate Will Ferrell. It was a pretty good episode though, complete with Amy Poehler on Weekend Update (and 'Really? with Seth and Amy), Seth actually in a sketch (sort of), Tom Hanks being hilarious, and Paul Rudd (again, sort of). No digital short, though. And I missed the digital short episode.

Big Bang Theory

What a let down. I am so over Penny. She's not good enough for any of them. And the plotline has been done before. Chuck Lorre is getting lazy. Plus, there was NO cliffhanger. 

That's all.

Peace, Gab

Gab's Number 2 Television Shows

It's a tie! I don't ever watch the second one anymore, but I was basically brought up on it.

The Office

Obviously this is at the top. Or close to it. Renee got me hooked and it's the second most amazing show, ever. Here is my order of favourite main characters:

1. Ryan (obviously)

2. Kelly

3. Jim

4. Toby

5. Andy/ Dwight

6. Creed

7. Angela

8. Pam

9. Oscar

10. Kevin

11. Michael

12. Stanley

13. Phyllis

14. Meredith

Seinfeld

So, as I previously mentioned, I essentially grew up with this show. It is really amazing. I love Kramer and Elaine. My favourite episode, I think, is a tie between when Kramer's phone line gets crossed with the movie theatre's, and the English Patient episode. Oh man, do I ever love this show.

Peace, Gab

Renee's Number 2 Shows

I realized that we never did our thoughtful thursday things or whatever it was. We are failing at the new schedule. Anyways.

How I Met Your Mother

The Office

"Here comes treble."

Renee Out.

Television Compendium: Apr. 9-16

That's a catchy title. It almost rhymes, almost. I think it'll stick. Even so, we should poll the public! (Rachel?)

Parks and Recreation premiere

I had high hopes for this show and it did not disappoint. "Honestly, I pretty much broke my clavicle, so..." My other favourite part was when the poster was tacked up over the particularly gory part of the mural. 

The Office two parter

Probably my favourite episodes of the season so far, or up there anyways. I love it when Michael's not being a total buffoon. (Maybe I need a hipper vocabulary) My favourite parts were all the Pam fighting with Ryan parts and the line "I have to go Mom, P's being a huge B."

Lost

Ehhh, I watch Lost on fastforward now, I don't even like it basically, though I can't seem to give it up. I just want to know what the hell is going on. I thought it was pretty good last night. At least there was no excruciating Sawyer/Juliet mushiness (this is me, throwing up my pancreas). I do think Miles is a really interesting character, so I was glad he got his own episode, and I was VERY glad when *spoiler alert* Daniel Faraday came back at the end. Love him! Still. Lost is being shunned.

HIMYM

Not so funny this week. Hasn't been so funny for a while. Too much shtick, not enough witty dialogue. Too much real pregnancies, not enough Robin and Barney making fake babies. Also, the way they got Lily to leave the show? LAZY.

American Idol

Finally! A good show to talk about. I just need to make two shoutouts to my boyfriend Adam and my bestfriend Allison. Well done, pals! They were the best by far. I pretty much watched everybody else on fast forward. It's getting hard by this point, as it always does, because I'm so attached to all of them. Even Anoop is growing on me. That's why, even though I thought Matt deserved to go home, I was really happy that he got saved because then he was so happy and the rest of them were all so happy. I love it when they're happy!

We just know that if someone good gets voted off next week Simon will be a tool and say "We misused our save." That's probably why he did it, just so he can say that. PS I hate Kara.

Southland

I like it! But maybe that's just because I'm in love with Benjamin McKenzie. It will take a few more episodes to figure out if I like the actual show or just Ryan Atwood reincarnated.

Bones

Best show ever, why do more people not watch it? I guess probably because the dialogue is pure crap and there are only two interesting characters (okay, maybe not the best show EVER). But last night was really good. I like the ones where Brennan doesn't make  fool out of herself (eg. the circus, her solo interrogation, etc. etc. ETC.) I liked the dynamic between them last night, it's been missing for a while. I have high hopes for the finale! cough*sex*cough. Maybe if I had my own life I wouldn't have to live vicariously through fictional romances. Whatever...it's healthy, probably not.

House

Chase and Cameron got engaged. Whatever.

Renee Out.

Renee Pwns Blogging. Deal With it

My new favourite show!!!!!







"...when he was thrown out of the plane...in handcuffs....after being shot in the face."

Jesus, I love Amy Poehler. And it's also Karen from the Office and that Indian guy that was in Flight of the Conchords and...something I can't quite put my finger on (your mom) but maybe it'll come to me.

Anyways. SO excited about this show. I hope it doesn't disappoint!

Renee Out

OH MON D, I totally forgot about this scene

I was just looking up clips of Ryan (HOT) on youtube, when I stumbled upon this one. I told Renee that I'd post 4 times tonight, but it's looking like it will now be five. So here it is. Is it not one of the most hilarious things EVER?!

I love Kelly.

He's so attractive.

Peace, Gab

My Apologies

I'd like to apologies to our many, many followers.  I have been MIA lately, as I was away on vacation. However, rest assured that many new posts will be born tonight. In the meantime, satisfy yourself with this clip:



and this one:

This post is dedicated to BJ Novak

HE'S BACK NEXT EPISODE OF THE OFFICE! (Which airs in two weeks, unfortunately. What ever will I do with my Thursday night next week?)

I love Ryan so so so much. Renee doesn't. But I do. And, he's going to be blonde. I admit, he's much better looking with brown hair, but HE'S BACK!

"Will I be too warm in a long-sleeve tee?"

Peace, Gab

The Style is the Bomb is the Bomb the Bang the Bang Diggy Diggy

Yes Gab, we all know you'd have sex with Ryan.

I'm about halfway through American Idol. I'm so excited to review it! It's gonna be so extensive; I'm even making notes as I go along. Who needs compendiums, right? I don't care if no one reads it. By the by, the editing is pure crap tonight, I'm so excited to insult it.

I'm pretty sure my favourite Office moment from season 1 was either Michael going "Abraham Lincoln once said, 'If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North," or Stanley playing basketball. Or maybe the whole diversity day scene with the cards on the heads.

As for season 2, my favourite parts are endless.

Renee Out.

OVER 1000 HITS!

We're basically famous!

I mean, we have an almost equal number of hits on our blog as Jed and Maurissa do on their youtube videos and they are insanely talented.

CELEBRATION!

Peace, Gab

PS: I'm currently watching The Office seasons 1 and 2 and love Ryan so much. I love when they throw a party for Meredith a month before her birthday, but it's actually Ryan's.

"I'd have sex with Ryan."

Renee's TV Roundup: Feb 7, '09

I'm not going to review How I Met Your Mother because Gab already nailed that one.




The Office

Super Bowl Sunday blessed us with two episodes this week! They were both HILARIOUS - by far two of the best episodes this season. My favourite part from the superbowl episode was Angela throwing her cat in the ceiling and the following dialogue:

Michael: What kind of ice cream do you want?
Stanley: Chocolate.
Michael: Racism is dead, Stanley!

From the second episode, Lecture Circuit, my favourite part was Dwight decorating the board room for Kelly's party. He bought grey and brown balloons to "match the carpet" and he only blew them up like a quarter of the way. My favourite dialogue was:

Michael: Karen, do you need to go pump?
Karen: No Michael, I won't need to do that until after I have the baby.



Bones

Booth was kidnapped and it was sexy. Then he was rescued and it got boring. I totally called that *spoiler alert* that lady was bad right from the beginning because she emerged all sketchily from the shadows. I am awesome. So is Booth.



Grey's Anatomy

I want more George! He's getting totally shafted. I'm not looking forward to the crossover because Private Practice is like a hugely boring show. This week my favourite parts were the Hunt and Cristina parts. I loved the music that would play every time they saw one another. They're the most intriguing part of the show right now. Also, I totally called that Arizona was gay. GOD I'm good at calling things, aren't I?



Lost

I love Sawyer! He is so fine. I'm starting to notice that all of my favourite shows...contain some really fine looking guy. Whatever, I'm still a very deep person. Lost was okay I guess. I liked Sawyer seeing Kate in the jungle and I liked the parts with the people left on the island. That's how the whole season has been going for me; i love the on island stuff and I find the oceanic 6 parts really boring.



American Idol

I'm pretty sure I've made my thoughts pretty clear thusfar.


Wow, this is the longest, most extensive post ever. I'm pretty sure I'm about a thousand points ahead of Gab now.
