Thursday: Play, Pass and Trash
What is on Thursday… what should you watch… our mind is spinning with the options but we’ve tried to narrow the field down after much deliberation. Here our recommendations, our play, our passes and of course the trash TV we cannot wait to watch.
Play:
Bones: Last week we heard some but saw little of the Booth’s new girlfriend. This week the teasers promise to bring her to the forefront. This season of Bones seems to be relationship heavy despite not giving us the one relationship we want to see happen, you know the one between the two main characters Bones and Booth. Instead we expect to see Daisy continue to struggle with the fact that Sweets has moved on and Angela try to prevent Hodgins from spilling the beans on their pregnancy. We don’t care about that though, we are watching to see how Bones reacts to the new love in Booth’s life.
Big Bang Theory: Last week Sheldon tried to make a Sheldon Jr. with quasi-girlfriend Amy and this Sheldon is making theories about how to live forever… we’ll watch that because it is sure to be amusing and will also give us some good ideas on how to live forever.
30 Rock: It’s one of the funniest shows on television and this week’s episode features Paul Giammatti. Yes, we know that the episode will not feature Liz’s man Carol, played by Matt Damon, but it is still worth watching.
Grey’s Anatomy: Last week everyone was still recovering from the shooting and Christina finally settled down with Owen. This week Christina cannot get up off the floor and the gang is dealing with a case where a man gets struck by lighting. The show had one of the best season premieres last week and we expect this week will be just as good. We are counting down the minutes until episode 2.
The Office: They opened with a song and dance number last week, what will they do The Office crew do this week? We can’t say for sure but we do know that The Office will feature an epic battle between Toby and Michael that is not worth missing.
Outsourced: The only thing saving Outsourced this week is that the other options on other networks are conflicted out by TiVo and we have to watch The Office this week. We were not pulled in by the comedy last week that features a man managing a India calling center but we were not so turned off that we are ready to write it off completely. However, if it does not shape up well tonight it will be the last time Outsource is on a playlist.
Pass:
Vampire Diaries: Sure it is interesting but we have better options. Vampire Diares will take a backseat to Bones, 30 Rock, and The Big Bang this week. It’s too bad… sigh… we will have to just watch it online later.
My Generation: We cannot watch this fake “generation” again this week. The characters were 2-Dimensional and boring. The stereotypes and cliches were even more boring. It was our biggest disappointment all week. We will catch it later but we refuse to waste TiVo space on the show.
$#*! My Dad Says: One, it was not that funny and two the title is hard to write out… William Shatner is quirky and did not live up to the man who became a legend on twitter. We preferred “OldWhiteManSays” from Community last week over this CBS comedy.
Community: Sometimes our decisions are based on TiVo space and unfortunately, when it comes down to that Community always loses out. Sure the premiere was funny and witty but we can do without it this week. Better luck next week.
CSI: We cannot take another episode of a crime drama, two episodes of Law and Order were enough for us and we are going to save our strength for Blue Bloods tomorrow. Sorry, CSI, maybe if you had the Bieber again we would watch but probably not.
Fringe and Nikita: Sure we want to see alternate Olivia make her way through our world. Unfortunately, we don’t have the option with TiVo. We would also like to see some girls kick some butt on Nikita but TiVo can’t record 4 things at once yet… as result these two great shows fall out of our playlist. Don’t worry though, we will watch online. Promise.
Project Runway: You lost us when you moved to Lifetime, we buried you when you expanded the show to an hour and a half long, we officially began our mourning period last week during the L’Oreal challenge where you asked the designers to design something inspired by eye shadow (seriously?!?!) … we can’t this week, we just can’t
Private Practice: We were mildly amused last week when Violet made a dash for it. But we are still confused by the Addison and Sam bubble bath scene and will be tuning out this week.
The Apprentice: When “The Donald” hinted that the women won last week’s ice cream stand challenge because they were hot rather than talented we decided we would not be watching this week. Sorry, that’s just how we roll. We will probably be over it next week though and will likely be back next week.
The Mentalist: We would probably watch The Mentalist this week but again we are over crime dramas and we are saving all our energy for the 10 pm trash (see below).
Trash:
COME ON! It’s Thursday, what do you think we are going to watch?
Jersey Shore: Snooki is going to take out her earrings and take on Angelina. Maybe Angelina will pretend she won the fight just like Sammi Sweatheart. Make sure your weave is in tight, it’s going to be a very hectic night on The Jersey Shore. Our money is on Snooki. Oh and btw, Sammi Sweatheart, you’re a punk, you look stupid and you did not win the fight. The only reason you got a good shot in was because someone was holding J-Wowww back and you were “classy” enough to take cheap shots at her when she was pinned up against a wall.
Real Housewives of DC: The Housewives come on multiple times and that is probably the only reason we will be tuning in this week. This crop of Housewives are the most boring yet but we can’t give up on the franchise. We got to support our boy Andy Cohen.
