This week’s question: What’s your current favorite T.V. show?

It’s been a while since I’ve participated (lately, it seems like nothing but school, school, school is occupying my time), so I thought I might jump in this time because I love talking about TV shows. Babendude and I watch a lot of shows. I’m surprised we can keep up with them. Needless to say, we do a lot of recording. Since GLEE is one of my favorite shows, and was already talked about by the blogger of the week, I’m choosing SUPERNATURAL.

Maybe you’ve heard of it? Two hot guys—who happen to be brothers—traveling around the states in a black 1967 Chevy Impala laying waste to all things, well, supernatural? No? For those of you clueless people out there, this series follows the de-gorgeous Winchester brothers—Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles)–as they hunt demons and other figures of the paranormal variety. They also get a little help from fellow demon hunter, Bobby (Jim Beaver) and an angel named Castiel (Misha Collins). This show first aired back in 2005 and I’ve been tuning in from the beginning. We’re in the middle of Season 6 right now and I think it’s going to be the last one. I’ll be sad to see it go, but I’m sure J’n’J are ready to move on.

From the get-go, Sam been my favorite character.

Do you blame me? With abs like that, I can’t help but tune in each week to see if he’s going to have a shirtless scene. LOL. It’s been interesting to see him grow as a person—physically—and as a character. He’s gone from wanting a normal life and giving up the job to being a balls-to-the-wall demon hunter. Dean Winchester was the jaded, hard-edged one and Sam was the one who still saw the positive side in things. They’ve both been brought back from Hell (not at the same time, of course) and since then, their roles have been reversed.

Some things I love about this show:

~ It can be both serious and funny – This time, Sam was brought back from Hell, but we soon found out that he came back without his soul. For a few weeks, Dean wondered if he could ever trust his brother again. Personally, I was wondering the same thing and it got me to thinking about the whole “soulless human” aspect. And I look forward to the FBI alias names they concoct. Hi-larious.

~ Jared Padalecki

~ The music – Dean has this thing for 80’s music, particularly Journey and/or Foreigner, so they’re always playing stuff like that, or 70’s rock. Thanks to this show, I now have a need to download “Carry On My Wayward Son” by Blue Oyster Cult. During the first few seasons they would play this song while they were recapping what’s been going on so far.

~ It’s all about family – Blood is thicker than water and Sam and Dean live by this creed. These brothers have proven over and over that they would do anything for each other. Because really, all the family they have left is each other.

~ Jared Padalecki

~ Castiel (aka “Cass”) – I have yet to see this dude smile, but his scenes can be hilarious.

~ The Impala – That car is like a Timex watch: it can take a licking and keep on ticking. It’s the ultimate man toy and it’s so damned sexy, it’s not even funny. I can recall a few eppies where this thing got totaled, but it’ll be back like new in the following eppie. Nice!

~ Jared Padalecki

~ They do a lot of reading – That may seem like an odd sticking point, but for a bookworm like me, I think that’s pretty awesome. They use their father’s journal as a guide most of the time, but whenever they hit up a new town, they’re always doing research—the Internet, the town library, etc. They really need to come out with a READ poster of these guys. I would so buy it.

~ And did I mention, um…Jared Padalecki?

I’m gonna stop now. Really. So, what’s your favorite current TV show right now? What else are you watching?

The first two classes don’t start until the 15th, but it still applies. I officially start school this week.

Blogging may be on a minimum.

As is visiting/commenting on the other blogs I try to read on the regular. Although, I may have to sneak over to Crystal’s blog because I have a feeling she’s going back to her weekly TV show updates. We’re both big fans of CHUCK and he’s back in a kick-ass way. Woot!

So, is anyone else back in school?

He’s all, “I did not see that coming.”

Shane needs counseling.

Seriously.

That kid should’ve been put in counseling the minute he found out his mother was a drug dealer.

And Silas needs a chastity belt or something. He is such a horn dog. But that’s teenage boys for you, I guess. It was amazing to watch these boys grow up on this show. Playing these characters can’t be easy. I mean, have you seen this show? Have you seen the stuff they’ve had to do? Utter craziness. They’re just amazing.

And Alanis Morrisette!!! Wha-wha…? I had no idea she was an actress now. Is she still making records? Jagged Little Pill was one of my favorite albums back in the day. I used to sing “You Oughtta Know” like I had something to be angry about. LOL.

To say that this family is dysfunctional is a major freakin’ understatement. I’m so glad they did away with the theme song by season 4. It was annoying as hell, no matter how many different artists sang it. Besides, the creative ways they manage to show “Weeds”, “created by Jenji Kohan” and the weed “logo” at the beginning is way better.

Can’t wait to see what the next season brings. So, are you a WEEDS fan, too? Who’s your favorite character?

Seriously.

That’s about as random as I can get, but it’s true. For those of you that don’t know, this Hottie on a Stick plays Oliver Green/The Green Arrow on SMALLVILLE. I’ve been catching up on my eppies and was able to watch one and half eppies yesterday. Anyhow, in one of the November eppies (don’t ask me the name), there’s a scene where they focus on his feet. He’s walking into a hole-in-the-wall bar in what looks like Mexico and he’s wearing flip-flops.

I was thinking “Wow, that person has really pretty feet.” And then the camera pans up the long, tall, drink of water that is Justin dressed in raggedy jeans and a T-shirt and I was all “Shut. Up. They’re his feet?” It made me wanna rewind just to see them again.

Seriously.

This dude has beautifully shaped feet. I can’t even really describe them, they’re that pretty. I didn’t get to finish watching the other eppie, but from what I saw, he gets drugged and is running around barefoot in a dirty white suit.

Maybe they focus on his feet again. I’ll have to see.

WHOSE BRIGHT IDEA WAS IT TO CLUTTER THURSDAY NIGHTS WITH GREAT SHOWS?!!!!! Five of our shows are on Thursday nights now. This is ridiculous! It’s bad enough you bumped SMALLVILLE to Kiss-of-Death-For-Shows Friday, but now you’re cramming fabulous programming on one night? Unacceptable.

Our DVR is about to explode.

There are 3 other frickin’ days of the week here, people! What’s wrong with Tuesday? We were lurking on the FRINGE with THE MENTALIST on this day and we were cool with that. And Mr. Maul and I were perfectly happy analyzing bones with, well, BONES on Wednesday nights.

So, what, Monday’s the nappy-haired stepchild now? HEROES may still be trying to save the friggin’ cheerleader on this day, but they still need help from CHUCK, so when you bring back the show, we’d strongly suggest or else greatly appreciate it if you’d keep his goofy butt there.

I think Thursday is getting too much love this season. I feel you’re shortchanging the other days (except Friday and Sunday) and should fire the complete idiot nimrod stupid twit newbie who suggested Thursday be the most popular night for television. I’m just sayin’.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Celise

SHOWS I WATCH BY MYSELF

Sundays
DROP DEAD DIVA- I watched the season premiere of this new series Sunday night on the LMN network (not sure what it stands for). Did anyone else watch it? The soul of a size 2 blond-haired model ends up in the body of a size 16, brunette lawyer after they both die on the same day. Comedian Margaret Cho is in it and I really liked it. Good thing the hubby records TRUEBLOOD because they come on at the same time. I thought it was a 2-hr movie and then realized it’s a new series, so this will be another show I’ll be watching on Sundays.

Mondays
HEROES

Tuesdays
SAVING GRACE – I just got into this show. Not sure what season I’m watching right now, but I really like it. Including the theme song by Everlast.

Wednesdays

LEVERAGE – Christian Kane can manhandle me anytime
DARK BLUE - the series premiere comes on this Wednesday. This show reminds me of the one above, so I may take to it.

Thursdays

SMALLVILLE
THE LISTENER - seriously, how hawt-hawt-hawt is Craig Olejnik ? Is anyone else watching this show? The dude’s eyes are so unnaturally gorgeous, it’s eerie.

As you can see, we watch a lot of shows. Thank God for DVR.

So, what are you watching?

No, it’s not a joke and yes, it means exactly what you’re thinking.

The season premiere came on Sunday night and it’s about this guy named Ray (Thomas Jane) who lost his house to a fire and his kids to his ex-wife (Anne Heche) and her new–and rich–husband. He’s living out of a tent on his property and has the primo job of coaching a losing high school basketball team.

Strapped for cash, he has to find a way to make money and gets help in the form of a how-to-make-millions type of class. After a comment hurled at him by his ex-wife–followed by a variation of the same comment by a one-night stand–Ray discovers how he can make money.

Sigh.

Needless to say, we liked it. We are now adding another show to our already long list of shows. Lucky for us, it comes on right after TRUEBLOOD. Our Sunday nights are getting awful crowded.

So, have you seen the show? Let me know what you think.

What about NURSE JACKIE? She kinda reminds me of a nicer-but-just-as-snarky version of HOUSE.

Your thoughts?

What the hell is Marianne?

And will someone please make Jason stop drinking the Kool-Aid? That boy is going to get himself into a heap of trouble.

On a side note: I heard that Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer (Sookie and Bill) are dating in real-life. I imagine that would be quite…stimulating. To say the least.

I’ve said it twice and I’ll say it again: I wish TRUEBLOOD was on everyday.

Reading this article made me think of one of my favorite shows, SMALLVILLE, and how Mr. Maul stopped watching it because for a while, they were doing “Freak of the Week” type episodes. The fallout from Clark’s plunge to Earth was bringing a lot of kryptonite-infused baddies out of the woodwork.

Better keep an eye on that kid. He might start developing some latent supernatural ability.

Wouldn’t that be interesting if that really happened? I sense a story…
