 Two posts in one day?!?! What has the world come to!?!?

I just had to post to gush on a couple of topics. 

First of all I have to say "Numb3rs" was soooo good tonight! Not really sure how I feel about it as a season finale, but that definitely doesn't diminish the quality of the episode. Sometimes I wish TPTB at "Numb3rs" would go a little bigger with the cliffhangers when it comes to their finales, though I think that's just based on what other series do and isn't necessarily a prerequisite for a good episode or even finale. It's just something I wish they did sometimes.

Anyway, I realize it everytime I watch the show, but what I really love about "Numb3rs" is the characters. Even though the show is really about Don and Charlie none of the other characters and their growth/stories are scarificed for the sake of them. All of the characters are so well written and it's definitely easy to see growth, in every character, throughout all of the seasons of the show. The interaction is so easy and it really does feel like one big family. 

Tonight was no different. I loved seeing David pushing/proding Charlie, Larry stepping up to the "mathmatical" plate, Alan and Don being their for Charlie and David and Colby speculating on the motives of a few of the others. That's not even mentioning Amita. Wow. Then there's the end, as much as I love the episodes I always love the "wrap-ups" at the end of all of the episodes. Today's finale was no different. Very good stuff.

I could go on but I didn't mean for this to go on for too long. I'll just leave it by saying that it was definitely a great episode!

The other things I wanted to gush over was the fact that "Castle" and "Dollhouse" have been renewed!! I'm really surpirsed by "Dollhouse," but I'm not going to complain over it's renewel. The show has grown on me and I'm definitely going to tune in to see where they go with it. Should be good. Of course we all know how I feel about "Castle!" Woo hoo!

On another note: Interesting news coming out about "Scrubs" and a possible ninth season. Looks like ZB and SC are signed on for six "transitional" episodes. I'm a huge "Scrubs" fan and have been since the show started, so I'll be watching to see where this goes. It could end up being great or it could end up really bombing. Either way I'll definitely be watching. 

Cheers!

Hmm, where to start? So much TV, so little time.

Terminator, Dollhouse, Numb3rs, House, 24, The Big Bang Theory ... what show to talk about? I guess it is, as they say, best to start at the beginning. 

Terminator was great. I'd even go out on a limb and say it was the best episode of the season. I loved the Cameron/John interaction, seeing Weaver do her thing and the ending, oi! what an ending. Even though I loved the ending I really hope that it doesn't end up being the series finale. I'm not optimistic but I can always hope that it'll get picked up for another season. If not, it'd be nice to get a movie (a la Serenity) to tie up all the loose ends that are still floating around. 

Dollhouse. One word: Strange. I'm not really sure what happened in that episode. I liked the way it was edited together, but it was just strange. Though, such is the nature of this particular show. On another note, I've been reading about the so-called 13th episode. It's definitely an odd situation. Though, I've read that it doesn't mean the show will be canned. We shall see, I guess.

Numb3rs: Yay it's back! To be honest I was just happy to finally get a new episode. I've been completely missing this show. I wasn't disappointed in the episode either. I thought it was well done. I love the way Numb3rs focuses on their characters. Sure, the cases are interesting and well thought out but the thing I really enjoy is that it always comes back to the characters. In that regard, this episode was stellar. I loved seeing the girls together at the end. I missed Colby in this episode, but I enjoyed seeing the evolution of Nikki's character here. I also love anytime that Larry gets into the mix and definitely wasn't disappointed here. All-in-all a classic episode of Numb3rs!

House ... Loved it! Wilson messing with House? What could be better? Classic House.  Also loved the Cameron/Chase storyline and it's conclusion.  Again, a show that focuses on it's characters instead of the cases/situations it puts them in. Great stuff. 

I've never really had much to say about 24. It's definitely a good show, but I don't typically have much of a reaction either way. I think it's because I'm not as invested in the characters as I am with other shows. Last night's episode was good. Though, I was a little annoyed with the Almeida story, good, bad, good, bad ... make a choice!! With this show I'm just looking forward to Paul McGillion's apperance. 

and finally ... 

THE BIG BANG THEORY! I ablsolutely love this show. It never fails to make me laugh. Last night I wasn't having such a great night, but watching Big Bang actually made me feel a little better. I'm so in love with Sheldon. Actually, I think I'm even starting to ship Sheldon/Penny. I definitely need to start making some Big Bang icons. Last night was classic, I loved "Anything Can Happen Thursday," Penny in the comic book store and Shealdon's line "Look at that, that's a dent. Thank you Howard "ham-fisted" Wolowitz.." LOL, love it!

Tonight should also be a good night for television:  American Idol, Fringe, and Law and Order: SVU. We've also got Southland, Heroes and Castle on our DVR.  Actually, I've also got the first two episodes of Robin Hood and the last few of The L Word. So much tv, so little time.

Cheers!

Dollhouse and other New Shows

Tonight should be a pretty interesting night of television. Not only are Numb3rs and Terminator on, but Dollhouse premieres tonight! I've been looking forward to this show for a very long time and I'm definitely hoping for the best.  It's Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku, so I don't think there's too much cause of concern, for me at least. I'm looking forward to getting hooked on another show! *fingers crossed*

I'm optimistic about the show but I've looked at a couple of reviews and they're not as optimistic as I. Only time will tell, I guess.

There are a couple of other shows premiering in March that I'm also looking forward to: CastleKings. By the look of the previews they could each go either way (great or horrible), but as with Dollhouse I'm hoping for the best.

It's interesting the connections going on though. You've got Summer Glau in Terminator airing before Dollhouse whose creator is Joss Whedon and star is Eliza Dushku. Then with Castle you've got Natha Fillion staring. Interesting.

Anyhoo ...

Cheers!
