A Tribute to the Telly

Today the Metro had several pages dedicated to the new TV series being broadcasted this fall. However, they failed to highlight my some of my favorite shows.

House

Okay, so it's a little cliched. A premed likes a medical drama (that is so unrealistic that even non-medical people realize it). But who cares. He is FUNNEH. I hardly watch the drama because I think I will learn a plethora of medical knowledge from watching it (although I have learned some about some stuff. Like lupus. It's never lupus). It's kind of cruel, the way his plays with other people's minds for fun, but it's entertaining, and isn't that the whole point of a TV show anyway?

In any case, this new season should be exciting, because House is going where House has never been before: the loony bin (no offense intended).

It should be noted that twice prior to this past season's finale, House has "tried" to change his drug-addicting ways. He entered rehab/therapy the first time to irk his ex-girlfriend's husband. The second time, he did it to try and escape serving jail time and having his medical license suspended. But he never really committed himself to rehab/therapy. This time he really goes above and beyond and enters directly into a psychiatric hospital.

Interesting. Very interesting. Let's see what House does in a completely new environment and his iconically stubborn attitude.

Chuck

I LOVE "CHUCK".

It is hard to describe exactly what about "Chuck" that I love. Maybe it's the predictability of the plot. Maybe it's the ridiculousness of Morgan, Lester and Jeff. Maybe it's the awesomeness of Captain Awesome. Maybe it's the dorkiness of Chuck and Sarah. Maybe it's the strange but oddly satisfying humor of Casey.

Whatever it is, it's carried me over two seasons. Despite the fact that the first season ended on a flat note due to the writer's strike, the second season came back with a vengeance. The last episode was a simultaneous closer and a cliffhanger because of the uncertainty of a renewal. After Subway's campaign to rescue "Chuck", the show will come back for a third season, but starting in March, and not this fall. Even though March is months away, and the resuming of "Chuck" will have to wait, I am super excited about a third season! Hopefully it will be even better than the last one.

So You Think You Can Dance

This is supposed to be a summer show... but there is a new season starting now?? So confused...

But who cares? I LOVE DANCE! :D 'Nuff said.

And that concludes our Tribute to the Telly. Hopefully the Metro will have something about Obama's speech in the papers tomorrow for me to ponder over...
