Tuesday Night TV

Holy Smokes!!! I just realized how much TV I have to watch Tuesday nights. By, have to, I mean I love too much to ever miss. It starts with Glee, then Flipping Out, The Good Wife, and Parenthood.
Taking the last one first Parenthood, is the show I love to hate. It makes me a little crazy but I can't miss it. Last night they had Joyce (Zosia Mamet) from Mad Men and Jesus (Kevin Alejandro) from True Blood on Parenthood. It looks like they are both reoccurring characters, so that is an extra bonus.
The Good Wife Premiered last night. I just love love this show. Alan Cumming's character is getting very meaty. I can't believe he erased Alicia's messages. He's bad and now he's in cahoots with Alicia's mother in law. Not to mention, the dreamy new partner Derrick Bond played by Michael Ealy.
Flipping Out reminds me of my old personal assistant days. Jeff Lewis makes my old employers look like angels. He is such a bundle of neurosis but he is still very likable somehow.
Glee is my new love. Sometimes I think I really only like the singing and dancing. Especially, last night with all the great Brittany Spears numbers. Who knew that Brit (Heather Morris) was such a great dancer, her numbers were really stand out. The story lines are kind of silly, but as long as I get plenty of musical fodder, I don't care.
So that's Tuesday night, fire up your DVRs and join me, you'll be glad you did.

Parenthood on NBC

Alright, I'm going to start by saying I really want to like this show. I come back every week to watch it and every week it does something to piss me off.

If you don't know the show it's about a family that lives in Berkeley(an alternate universe Berkeley, where it never rains and is always sunny). There are the hippy grandparents, who really don't seem to have any hippie philosophy, just the clothes and long hair. In fact they're your basic uptight wealthy grandparents.
Then there's their two 40ish children who are total yuppies, who are obsessed with themselves and appearances, and two other children who are a little more likable. Finally there are the grandchildren who are the least offensive part of the show.

I really don't know who is writing this show but I think it's a bunch young male writers, who have no idea what hippie parents were really like(ie. Free love and having children roll their joints for parties), Also they seem to not understand how to write female characters. The women on the show are door mats or in one case work crazed.

Anyway, I'll be watching it this Tuesday and probably the next few Tuesdays but then I'm really going to give it up. The Good Wife is on at the same time so it's not like there's nothing else to watch.

Parenthood on NBC

Have you seen the commercials for Parenthood on NBC? I love Lauren Graham, and she looks brilliant in this part. It premiers tomorrow March 2 at 10pm. I'm hoping this will be a winner. Sometimes second times a charm. Here's the previous cast of the show. Let's all hold a good thought!
