Saturday, Jun 20, 2009
It is my fourth tv.com anniversary. At least, it was about 3/4 days ago.
Yay. I haven't been here a while, but I will never leave for good.


What have I been upto this week? Taking care of Kittens, is what!
My cat Rikku had kittens last Wednesday. Five. One died the next day, but the other four remain strong.
I named them; Fox, Bubbles, Brutus (RIP), Angel and Tirzah.

The pictures are too big to post, but if you want to see pictures click here.




I want to do something special for this blog, and decided to write small reviews for the shows that I have been watching this year.
Only shows that have been airing in 2009, though.

The N00bs

United States Of Tara

A show with fine acting but inconsistent writing. However, it had a fine payoff at the end and hopefully it will keep improving next year.
Grade: B-

Dollhouse

A bit of a hit-or-miss, but it is has an interesting concept. It is not quite as memorable as the other Joss shows, but it will get there. I hope.
Grade: C+

Kings

Started off with loads of potential, but that was sucked out pretty early in. The actors were great, but the writing was just too uneven. I will watch the final episodes and hope that it ends as strong as it started.
Grade: C+

Being Human

I am finally getting into some British shows. I do not like this one as much as Life On Mars or Skins, but it was interesting. I just wish that we would get more George and less of everything else.
Grade: B

Harper's Island

My biggest guilty pleasure of the Season. It had a horrible start, full of cliches and poor dialog. But the last couple of episodes managed to suck me in and make me care about the characters and the plot. Although still cheesy, it has had it's moments of awesomeness. Just three more episodes, I can't wait.
Grade: C

No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency

The best new show of the year, more people need to know about it. The cast is just superb, it is like nothing I have seen before. A breath of fresh air.
Grade: A

Nurse Jackie

Another excellent new show. Only three episodes in, but have already fallen in love with it. The great cast and dialog make it stand out. One of the most memorable shows on Showtime.
Grade: A-


The Oldies

Survivor: Season 18

Yes, reality tv rots your brains. But Survivor is fun, without being too dumb. Season 18 had a likeable cast, perhaps too likeable. I missed more action and physical challenges. But otherwise, it was a fun watch.
Grade: C+

E.R.: Season 15

After a rather forgettable season, the show ended on a high note. Actually, their last season turned out to be one of their best. That usually never happens.
Grade: A-

The Office: Season 5

Although not as memorable as it once was, the fifth season had some great moments.
Grade: B

Nip/Tuck: Season 5.5

Second half of Season 5 turned out to be much, much better than the first. But it still does not beat the early years.
Grade: B-

Medium: Season 5

The show is still going strong, but I am surprised that it hasn't gotten the ax yet. The season ended on a great cliff-hanger.
Grade: B

Lost: Season 5

My least favorite season to date. It was nice to learn more about the Island, but I simply did not care about a lot of it. However, I am definitely looking forward to see how they continue the story next year.
Grade: B

Rescue Me: Season 5

This season has been surprisingly strong. Sean and Mike just get funnier and Tommy gets even more badass. So glad that I did not give up on it.
Grade: B+

Weeds: Season 5

Too early to judge, but so far, pretty good. I love how dark the series is getting. Esteban is one of my favorite villains on tv.
Grade: B

Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.5

The last 11 episodes of BSG were amongst my favorites. Not everyone enjoyed the dark turn that the series took, but was it ever any less dramatic? I think that the show ended up on a very high note, and was fully satisfied with it's conclusion.
Grade: A+

Big Love: Season 3

The first two seasons were great, but the third season brought it to a new level of brilliance. Although still not quite my favorite show on HBO, it is definitely one of the best.
Grade: A+

30 Rock: Season 3

Meh, not as funny or as clever as the first two. I think that all the famous guest stars just made it too commecial and not as enjoyable as it once was.
Grade: B-

The Tudors: Season 3

A strong year, but I was expecting a little more. I missed Anne more than I thought, and King Henry has lost all his appeal by now. The show is a little too empty at times, but still good.
Grade: B

Heroes: Season 3

Haven't actually even finished it yet. The show has gotten pretty awful and screwy. I wonder if I will bother to tune in again.
Grade: D+

Skins: Season 3

Surprisingly great. I love the new cast much more than the old. Cook, Freddie, Effy, Tomas, JJ were all fabulous.
Grade: B+

Breaking Bad: Season 2

My favorite show of 2008, and so far, my favorite show of 2009. Bryan Cranston is a little too convincing at times.
Grade: A+

Flight Of The Conchords: Season 2

Best comedy of the year. It is funnier, smarter, and just plain better. The songs were fantastic. Here's hoping for a third season.
Grade: A

True Blood: Season 2

A little too early to tell, but judging on the premier. It looks like we are in for a killer season.
Grade: A-


Can't wait for Mad Men's + Dexter's return and Glee's + Flash Forward's premieres.

Currently (Re)watching
Survivor: Season 13 - 2nd time
Weeds: Season 5
Rescue Me: Season 5
The Office: Season 5
Breaking Bad: Season 2 - 2nd time
The Sopranos: Season 2 - 2nd time
The Wire: Season 2 - 2nd time
Pushing Daisies: Season 2 - 2nd time
True Blood: Season 2
Skins: Season 2 - 2nd time
Firefly: Season 1 - 3rd time
Twin Peaks: Season 1 - 2nd time
Life On Mars (UK): Season 1
Nurse Jackie: Season 1
Kings: Season 1
Harper's Island: Season 1

That is all.

Hey guys, I saw Maxpower blog again which reminded me of the good ol' times.

Anyway, as the title says, I am shamelessly blogging to promote my forum again.

Things have changed, we lost some threads last week because one of my admins didn't know what forum prunning meant. -- but it turned out to be for the better.

The Forum has been updated to Version 3, which means more features.

You can now play 410 old games now for example, and some of them do not actually totally suck. It's addictive

Please check it out, (click) I would love to have more regulars around there.

I am currently working on a new list -- Top 200 Tv Actors. Insane, I know

I am up to number 175. Please check it out here

Anyway, what have you guys been upto? Anything I have missed on tv.com?

I really do miss the comunity

I love miss Carpenter.

She works it out with everything, even when she has a bad script she still gives what she can.

First time I met her was on Buffy the vampire slayer, and man she rocked.

As it...
