How cute is this?


















That is all.

Spotted: A once enjoyable show now on a steady decline toward shark-jumping territory. Could the once and future Queen Bee be dethroned before November sweeps? Seems like it. I think it best to abdicate that throne and save itself from further shame.

That's right. I'm sad to say that Gossip Girl is more than certainly getting dumped by yours truly this week. I can't handle any more of Serena's pouting and bad hair. Really. Someone needs to take a brush to that mane of hers and get it out of her face.

The college experience so far for these characters has been ridiculous. I mean, who really takes the microphone at a roof party and explains to everyone that they're there to get a fresh start and make a change for themselves? Really. I could have made a drinking game out of how many times they said "let's make a fresh start" in this episode. I don't ever remember saying stuff like that when I went to college.

And poor Nate. No storyline AGAIN this season! I know we're only two episodes in and I'm sure this will change, but really? Stuck in a bedroom with his new girlfriend "until they get sick of each other". I can see where this arc can get interesting. She's a Buckly, and he an Archibald. Her Capulet to his Montague. But it's been done and I don't think I can wait much longer to see it play out. 

The thing I'm most sad about is giving up my Chuck Bass. AH! I love his manipulation, his pride and the softer side of him that usually only us viewers are privy to. I'll miss him a lot and will maybe tune in every now and then to check up on him, but I don't think I can put myself through an entire season of his less-than-stellar cohorts.

Ah well.

I came across this photo of SJP filming SATC2 today.


















Can someone tell me why she looks like this? Please?

The clothes are fine.. It's actually nice to see Carrie in some Chuck Taylor's. But the hair! And the make-up! No, thank you. I hope it looks better on the big screen.

My Overwhelming Fall TV lineup

I just looked at a schedule of all the fall tv premiere dates and decided to highlight all the shows I'm interested in watching. The grand total came to... 

27! 

27?! Yikes. 

I think this is an all-time high for me. As much as I love TV (and that's a lot) I know not all of these shows will last. Basically because I don't have the time nor the DVR space to allow it.

Here are the new ones I'm trying out and am thinking/hoping will make the cut:

Community- Thursdays on NBC
The Good Wife- Tuesdays on CBS
Cougar Town- Wednesdays on ABC
Modern Family- Wednesdays on ABC
Glee- Wednesdays on FOX

I'm super pumped about theses. The most anticipation might be for Community. Joel McHale and Chevy Chase?! Yes, please. Also, Cougar Town is from Bill Lawrence, the same genius who brought us Scrubs so that seems really promising. And Glee has already made the cut! I can't wait to see more jazz hands!

Here are the new ones I'm trying out but am thinking they could easily get left behind:

The Vampire Diaries- Thursdays on CW (I just love Vampires so much)
The Beautiful Life- Wednesdays on CW (I admit this sounds ridiculous, but I just want to watch an episode or two to see if Mischa Barton's acting classes did her any good)
Eastwick- Wednesdays on ABC
Mercy- Wednesdays on NBC
Flash Forward- Thursdays on ABC (Thursdays are going to be a SERIOUS problem for me)
Trauma- Mondays on NBC
Three Rivers- Sundays on CBS
V- Tuesdays on ABC

Now, I don't know much about any of these shows. Just a few I've seen commercials for and others have a lot of hype so naturally they're in my lineup. But who really needs to watch three medical dramas (NOT including Greys)?

And finally, these are the ol' standbys that I can't get rid of.. ever:

Project Runway-Thursdays on Lifetime
Fringe- Thursdays on FOX (Why did it have to move to Thursdays?!)
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia- Thursdays on FX (hehehe)
The Office- Thursdays on NBC
Parks and Recreation- Thursdays on NBC
SNL Weekend Update- Thursdays on NBC

I'm really tired of typing Thursday..

House- Mondays on FOX
Grey's Anatomy- Thursdays on ABC
SNL- Saturdays on NBC
The Amazing Race- Sundays on CBS
Brothers & Sisters- Sundays on ABC
Desperate Housewives- Sundays on ABC
30 Rock- Thursdays on NBC

This really is overwhelming.

And I Just realized I have my mid-season replacements:

Chuck- Mondays(?) on NBC
Scrubs version 2.0- ?? on ABC
Better Off Ted- Wednesdays on ABc
and eventually Friday Night Lights- Fridays(?) on NBC

There's got to be something else I'm missing..

I've officially lost count of how many hours of my life this schedule consumes. And while typing this sentence I remembered LOST will be back in January/February. AHHHHHH!

I love Fall.
