They're McBACK!

Caution: Fangirl moment ito.

My favorite guilty pleasure is back! Squeeeee! I'm extra enthusiastic about it, no doubt, but what's up with the constant flashbacks? Kinda lost me there, pun intended. Nevertheless, it was a relief to welcome back my Mcfavorite TV show EVER. Seriously!

Hence the new McLayout. Nahawa na ako kay Meredith, haha. I know it's not much different from the previous one, but what the heck, when McDreamy stands in the middle of it all, I just can't ask for anything more. Hahaha! [Note to Kat, and only for Kat: you can download the layout here, have no idea where to send it so there. It's ready to use, just put your haloscan code and edit the sidebar widgets with your info and stuff. (;]

And since I'm already talking about television...

Monday is a busy TV day for this household, brother's a Prison Break freak, father is fond of Howie Mandel's punchable antics, and everybody religiously watches Monday Night Raw. In other words, there's no more space left for yet another program. But I had the chance to see the rookie of the year contender, Studio 60, via its replay telecast on Bravo (thank God for Bravo!). I'll simply say that it's really really good. Brilliant could be an overstatement, but the pilot just brought everything a pilot episode should have, unlike Six Degrees which I unfortunately spent 12 minutes of my time with (to my defense, it immediately followed Grey's Anatomy).


Anyway, Studio 60 is Aaron Sorkin's (A Few Good Men) new masterpiece, and with an Emmy nominated writer in control, you can only anticipate the most creative juices. And he indeed delivered. As I've said, the story of this series revolves around the drama behind a live comedy sketch show which is seemingly much similar to what Sorkin has done in The West Wing's whitehouse. The actors were just as good too. Amanda Peet, who outshone everyone, was just exceptionally flawless in a character that could be all disoriented under pressure in reality which she made look (or more likely as what she was told to do) very calm and professional. Nonetheless, acting, collectively, was very impressive, and overall, a ratings-hogger in the making.

There's another new show that gets heatraves from the critics. Saw the trailer of it, quite intriguing, but it's on a freakin' Monday!!! Why do all the fantastic shows have to be parading during this day? I mean, what about Tuesday next time? Seriously.

Hello! Thank you for stopping by. Actually, they're TV shows. But go ahead and looks for Grey's Anatomy. You're going to enjoy it. Have fun this weekend too! (:

Nan
Yay, another fan! Isn't it just so good? Probably the best show on earth, for me at least. Hehe. Thanks for dropping by!

Laureen
Thanks! I heard Medium's being syndicated, I just don't know if true. Studio 60 was really good. I'm so glad to see Chandler back, most especially in a promising show like this.

Bone
Haha, right on! Dude, if you haven't been watching Grey's Anatomy, I suggest you start now. Been watching it since it first came out, and I've never been this loyal to a freakin' TV show (well, apart from Idol). Hehe!

Teena
I doubt that. The premiere itself was a ratings booster, and I'm confident that this will stay for at least a couple more seasons. (:

Deb
Actually, my dad cancelled Comcast and replaced it with Dish, and it's just a DVR not the TiVo. But you know, "tivo" has been the general term for it, so I just use it anyway, haha. What's your cable, Deb? Maybe you can ask for a DVR, it's not that pricey. And it really does help, hehe. You're really gonna love this show. It's just got everything in it. Diversity, comedy, romance, everything. Sobrang benta, 'no? Haha.

I also love Grey's Anatomy. The 3rd season isn't here yet though. But the reruns and the DVD releases are good enough for me for now.

I like House too, but I don't get to watch it that often. You can watch both though, I think you're gonna enjoy Grey's too!

Tani
Oh, you're gonna love the premiere. It was jampacked with flashbacks, but kind of helped the whole plot, I guess. =)

kat said...
