Season Finale

Not until the last couple of years have I watched this much primetime Television. Ther truly are some amazing shows on. Here are my reviews for this season and/or SERIES finales.

FOX started this show to fill in space between the "24" seasons. Well it was so popular, they kept writing more scripts and more seasons. I loved the first 2 seasons, but when they got captured into a panama prison I was over it. Give me a break. So I sort of watched that season. However, this last (and final) season has been great. But as much as I loved it, the show NEEDED to end, they can't keep dragging the story. Well finally, they are free. I know some may be dissappointed in the way the show ended, but a show like this can't end with a 100% happily ever after, so I think it was well written to have Michael Scofield die in the end. I'm just glad they didn't have some funeral scene with them all bawling, but rather a "4 years later" scene showing they are happy and moved on, but grateful for what Michael did for them all.
P.S. the only reason I started watching this show is because I thought Wentworth Miller (Michael) was some great eye candy.
We heard so much hype about the show, so after watching one of their weekend 2 hour Recap shows, we went and rented the first 4 seasons and got caught up. What a creative show. Although it is quite popular and could likely go on for several more seasons, this show was pre-written and only has one more season remaining (2010). I love the different characters and I hardly ever know what will happen next, which I love.

Another show I did not watch from the beginning, but after seeing severals episodes from syndication (sp?), I decided to watch this season which happenned to be the LAST season. I think it is hilarious. I love the relationship or shall we say "bromance" between J.D. and Turk. I'm not a laugh out loud when I watch TV kind of person..........but this show does make me laugh. I thought the series ended well.

I've watched this from the beginning. I laughed more during the first 2 seasons, but I still do enjoy it. Not my absolute fave. I've heard the original BBC version is quite histerical, I may have to check it out.

So nothing was really on last summer, and I just turned the channel and started watching a summer re-run of this show....and next thing I know, I have been watching every thursday night religiously. (don't you dare call me during Grey's...I won't answer). And no I don't watch it for any love scenes. I love each character, they are so different and I love there interaction with eachother. I love the PATIENT stories. I always thought I would have gone into medicine, so I love to see "a trauma doctor's life". I hate cheesy happily ever afters, so I did like how this season ended. Now of course we are not 100% sure if George and Izzie died, but there has been so much unconfirmed rumors that both TR Knight (George) and Kathryn Heigl (Izzie) wanted to be written off the show. I guess we will find out in the fall.

I watched the pilot for this and then never really watched it after that until ABC did a crossover event with Grey's Anatomy (the star of Private Practice is the ex-wife of one of the Grey's anatomy characters). Well ABC's little trick to increase ratings worked and I started to watch it. The season finale ended with a crazy lady paralyzing a 9-month pregnant woman, claiming the baby was actually hers and beginning to cut the baby out of the mom. Yes, this story-line is a little over the top..........but all of their story-lines do come from real life cases. I will try watching next season and see how it goes.

Here is the BEFORE picture of "The Biggest Loser" with her daughter. This is a 2 hour show and moves slowly so I just watch it during commercials, but I try to keep up with it because the transformations are amazing and I really appreciate it considering this is what I do for work. Her is Helen's after picture. she went from like 250+ down to 117 which is like 55% of her weight. I was sure Tara or the Brown team kid was going to win. Great job to them all!
