The Real Housewives of New York - 4/28/09

I missed, like, the first 20 minutes of last night's show, but I felt like I saw enough of it to be able to blog this morning w/o going back & watching it.

Let me start by saying that I think that Kelly is Bi-polar. Last night, when she & Bethenny were having it out again, she didn't even remember any of the stuff that she had said the last time they had it out. She can be so normal sometimes, but then other times she's like a little kid arguing w/ another little kid. Bethenny's argument that Kelly had known who she was & never says "Hi" is getting a little annoying, but I'm still "Team Bethenny".

LuAnn's neices were in town & she took them out "on the town" & brought Kelly along because she's "young & hip". I was thinking, "She's not 21...she's 40!" She likes to ACT like she's 21 most of the time, but she's not! Anyway, I'd still like to punch her in the face! She's certifiably nuts.

As weird as Simon & Alex are, I liked their renovated apartment. WAY more than Jill's renovated apartment! The red & black were a little much, but I love those colors. I probably would've toned it down a little if it were mine, but it was still nice. After all, red IS my favorite color. I loved the chandelier. It was all very nice. On another note, they seem to catch Alex wearing that same zippered black jacket A LOT, but I know that all of these clips could've taken place on the exact same day while they show the clips on separate shows. I know that they don't show them in any sort of order.

Bethenny is still my favorite, even though she can be slightly annoying with all of her talking &/or jokes (w/ French guys that don't understand them due to the language barrier).

I'm anxious to see what Bethenny & Jill get into a fight about next week (which, I think, may be the season finale). Stay tuned!

Grey's Anatomy 4/23/09

O-M-G!!!! Let me just start by saying (for those of you that don't know me personally) that I'm not an overly emotional girl. I don't cry very often. I DO, however, cry for insignificant things like TV shows & movies, especially when they involve children being mistreated or dying, etc. So, last night's Grey's Anatomy was a prime example. I sobbed like a little kid who had just gotten the whipping of his life. They had a terminally ill 6-year-old girl on there whose dad was trying any & everything to get her some last-minute treatment to save her life. They gave the girl 48-hours to live & he was busy trying to find some way to get her to Mexico for some stem-cell treatment that would save her life. This little girl was so weak & so cute that I just balled everytime they showed her. And then the dad was so busy trying to find a cure for this that Dr. Bailey had to comfort & hold this little girl when she woke up & was wanting to be held. And then the little girl wouldn't let go of her shirt when she tried to lay her down. I'm telling you, my nose was stopped up for an hour after I watched this from all the crying! And, apparently, next week's show may not be any easier. They're going to have a little girl that shot her dad 17 times. Interesting.

Anyway, Izzie had her first chemo treatment & was feeling great that morning. Meredith & Derek were letting her plan their wedding to keep her busy & her mind off of the obvious. She ordered some dresses to be delivered to the hospital for Meredith to try them on & was planning the catering, etc. However, when the meds started kicking in by that afternoon, her Oncologist said that she would wish she were dead. And she went downhill fast! Dr. Hunt is in therapy for his "war trauma" & Christina is trying to avoid him at all costs. That's about it for this week. I'll probably watch Private Practice tonight on the DVR &, hopefully, blog about that tomorrow. But who knows. I love having this outlet to discuss my shows. Too bad I can't get anyone to read &/or comment back to me.

The Real Housewives of New York - 4/21/09

Tuesday night's episode of The Real Housewives was pretty entertaining. Bethenny was my favorite of the entire show. She was hilarious! Her costume was awesome & she was ON FIRE w/ her comments. I LOVED the roller girl! I also liked Jill's Marie Antoinette costume. I didn't care so much for her Elle Woods' costume though. I liked LuAnn during this episode. Sometimes I like her & sometimes I don't, but this was a good night for LuAnn. She spent time w/ her daughter & seemed fairly normal this time. Ramona wasn't as annoying as she can be, but I still don't care for her. Kelly.....what can I say about Kelly....other than I hope that she doesn't come back next season. I can't believe the nerve of her to throw a party & then to not even be there (until later)! And THEN to have a cash bar! And then she's like, "I had to take my girls trick-or-treating." WHATEVER! Where are your girls now? Why couldn't THAT person take them trick-or-treating? Why didn't you think of that BEFORE you decided to throw your own Halloween party?! Stupid! (I'm trying to keep this blog somewhat clean, & am not using the real word that I want to use.)

Anyway....check back again tomorrow or the next day for a recap of the Thursday night shows on ABC....Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, & Private Practice....if they're new shows. Hasta!

Brothers & Sisters 4/19/09

This was a pretty good show. A lot of things happened tonight. Nora's married boyfriend came back & said that he loved her & that he & his wife had split up. Kitty is getting closer to her playground friend & further away from her husband; however, he's catching on &, I believe, next week sees her at the park talking to the new friend. Sarah started back at Ojai & had sex w/ a hottie from accounting, who she found out later was just a temp. Kevin saw his ex, the actor that had the girlfriend & was in complete denial about being gay (who played Samantha's young actor boyfriend on Sex & the City). Anyway, apparently the guy is completely out now & walked up & planted a big kiss on Kevin while he & Sarah were window shopping. Ummm....what else? Ryan keeps getting closer to Rebecca, or trying anyway. She doesn't really want ANY relationship right now because she's still getting over Justin. Justin gets her to meet him up on the hill/cliff where they had their first kiss & apologizes to her for everything & then walks off to leave her thinking.

Yesterday, I read in Parade magazine that Balthazar Getty, who plays Tommy, would be back next season, contrary to some reports. But then when I was watching the show last night, part of the story line was that Tommy had called Julia & said that he was coming home (from his hiding out in Mexico when he thought he was going to prison if he came back to the States). And then, later in the show, they had a scene w/ Julia telling Nora that Tommy had called & said that he wasn't coming home because he had to figure out who he was. So, who knows if he will be back or not. I can't imagine that they would write off a main character just like that.

Desperate Housewives 4/19/09

This was kind-of a "looking back" show, but it was all things that no one had ever seen before. Since Edie Britt died on the last episode, all the girls were taking a road trip to deliver her ashes (& the bad news) to Travers, Edie's son, at whatever boarding school he goes to. As brutal & up-front as Edie always was, they were all remembering the softer side of her as they made the trip. And then, Travers didn't really care about his mom being dead since she never really had that big of a role in his life, but then they went into a scene about why she never really took a big role in his life. She knew that she couldn't be a good mom on her own (after she & his dad got divorced), so she gave her ex-husband full custody. I don't know if that's a good reason or not, but...whatever. Anyway, it was a pretty uneventful show, but still a good one.

The Real Housewives of New York - 4/14/09

Last night's show was....blah. Nothing really exciting happened. And, since I just started this blog & there was nothing exciting last night to talk about, I'll just talk about the characters in general:

LuAnn - I'll be glad when LuAnn gets her book done & she can (hopefully) shut up about the book & her manners! And how hilarious was it when she went to that girls' club in Harlem (or wherever it was) & those poor girls just STARED at her & thought she was the most ridiculous thing they'd ever seen? That poor girl that wanted to be the model! LuAnn told her that all she needed to do was loose weight. Poor thing. She just needs to get off her high horse. She tries to pretend that she's all normal ("I'm an American Indian."), but she clearly thinks she's better than everyone else.

Bethenny - I pretty much love her. There are some things about her that annoy me, but not enough for me to dislike her. I felt sorry for her last night when no one was interested in her products at that grocery store.

Jill - I like Jill about 90% of the time. Last night she was being a spoiled brat about her car not having the iPhone hook-up, but I generally like her. Her husband is SO great! He spoils her rotten. One thing about Jill that I don't like: her apartment! It's hideous! I totally agree w/ Bethenny on this one.

Kelly - DON'T like her! She's ridiculous! She contradicts herself all the time. She's SO interested in the celebrity status, but spends a majority of her time telling everyone that she's not.

Ramona - ANNOYING AS HELL! Just looking at her face & her big "surprised" eyes drives me crazy. She's constantly got that "deer in headlights" look on her face. And why is her skin so blotchy? Maybe because of too much product. Who knows? She may be fit, but she is not that attractive. I guess I can put her husband, Mario, under her name, but he's become almost like another character on the show. He's like the junior high bully. Like Jill, I just want to punch him in the face. Everytime he gets within a mile of Jill &/or Simon, he gets his "I'm WAY better than you, you should just admit it" attitude. He's the kind of guy that would hold you down saying, "Admit that I'm better than you. Admit it. Admit it!"....& keep holding you down until you said that he was better than you. Their poor daughter is doomed. She seems fairly normal now, but who knows what she'll be like as an adult.

Alex (& Simon) - They annoy me way less this season than they did last season. This could partially be because they haven't had their kids on much this season, so you haven't witnessed what horrible brats they are or what horrible disciplinarians Alex & Simon are. I'm glad Alex got her teeth fixed for this season. Last season they were all jacked up, but this season, they're straight. Simon still creeps me out sometimes. Could he have found a more horrible outfit to play tennis w/ Jill in? It was awful. And the sweat bands? PLEASE! They buy clothes all the time! They couldn't have gone & spent $50 on some new gym clothes? What's up w/ that?
