Spring 2008 Television

This past weekend I spent most of my time watching some of my favorite TV shows and catching up on them so that I can be up to date! If you watch any of these, I’m just warning you that there may be some spoilers in this blog, so if you have not caught up with your DVR yet, then you may not want to read any further.American IdolI’ve been watching this show from the beginning and I’m glad that we are down to the voting part of the show! I’ll be happier when we get out top 12 guys and gals and AI is only on twice a week. I haven’t voted in the last couple of years and I don’t plan on voting this year either. It’s just fun to watch and see who I might be hearing on the radio next year!LOSTI just caught up on the show this weekend and I am going crazy about the cliff they left us dangling on! Marcus told me before I watched it that he caught the last few minutes of it and that Kate had Claire’s baby, but he didn’t see the whole thing. So, halfway through, I told myself that she didn’t have Claire’s baby, she had her own baby! She got pregnant with Sawyer. It made even more sense when it appeared that Jack wouldn’t come to visit her and the baby. (Because it was Sawyers child.) But when Claire got home and you hear that the baby’s name is Aaron?? OMG!!! Did she really take the baby or did she just name her baby Aaron so that she would never forget them?? I mean come on, don’t leave us like that!! I am glad that she didn’t go to jail… upset that she wouldn’t let her mom see the baby… And totally shocked that Sayid is now working for BEN!!! Wow! The clips for the next show look a little weird… I’m excited about where this show is going though.Eli StoneI saw the first episode 4 weeks ago and I laughed and laughed! It’s such a great comedy and it’s not as cheesy as I thought it would be. I don’t normally laugh out loud at anything, especially if I’m watching it alone, but I certainly had to keep myself from laughing too hard while watching this show so that I didn’t wake up Alec who had fallen asleep next to me. If you haven’t seen this show yet, go to the ABC website and you can watch the first 4 episodes right there on your computer! Definitely a new favorite of mine!Brothers & SistersI got into this show a little late. Marcus downloaded the episodes for me and I’m caught up with it now. I really like this show and while it hasn’t left me with too many cliff hangers, it gets me laughing at times. I like following the ups and downs of the family and the characters.ERI actually haven’t seen this show since last fall. Excited to start watching it again though. All I remember is that I’m really pissed at Abbey for what she did! Ugh… She needs help!Looking forward to a great Spring season!
