KT! Update: A Breakup, A Makeup & Letting Go

Well my friends, it has been a long 2 ½ months. I apologize for the lack of KT updates, but work was kicking my ass & I didn’t have time to do a proper update. Originally, I was holding on to write my fall tv review, but I guess that doesn’t matter now as a few of those shows will not be on my television much longer. The tv season has been chugging along, so let’s get to it, eh?

As far as the new shows go, I am still enjoying Fringe, although I still say that if Pacey wasn’t there I wouldn’t be such a loyal fan. The show is a little icky for me at times, but luckily for me, Pacey makes it all better.

90210 didn’t make it past week 3. While watching an episode that was Brenda free, I thought to myself, “Do I really care?” and ultimately, the answer was a big no.

Although Jay was enjoying it, I was just about to quit My Own Worst Enemy when NBC cancelled it. I thought Christian Slater did a good job, but his “normal guy” personality was annoying. If he had just been badass for the whole show that would have been cool. Maybe Christian can go meet up with Jack Bauer this year (more on Jack in a minute).

The new show I am enjoying most is The Mentalist. Simon Baker is fantastic as a man atoning for past sins by working for the California Bureau of Investigation. His special talent is that he notices all the little details everyone else misses. Baker makes the show, while it is usually quite obvious “who done it” you don’t mind because Baker is having so much fun figuring it out.

So, the title of this update is a Breakup, a Makeup & Letting Go. Ready to hear who I’ve dumped? Grey’s Anatomy. In the words of Carrie Bradshaw, “We are so over, we need a new word for over.” I was late to the party, but watching the pilot sucked me in. I didn’t want to like them, but I did and I ended up invested. And then the whole Denny incident, that’s what pushed me over the edge & made me a true Grey’s fan. Interesting that it is Denny again that has pushed me over the edge. This storyline with Denny & Izzie is atrocious. It is so horrible that I’m actually OFFENDED by it. I just can’t believe that ABC would greenlight this kind of wretched, stupid, horrendous writing! Even though I thought it was lame, at least when I thought that Izzie was going to have a brain tumor I could make sense of how she was seeing Denny. But then Shonda came out & said that Izzie did not have a tumor & that Denny would be around at least until February. I just…can’t. I can’t. It has been removed from my Tivo & I shall not take part in it again, which does give me a twinge of sadness because McSteamy was growing on me. But then I just get all angry again because everyone I use to like I can’t stand anymore. Why won’t Cristina teach her interns? Especially after everything she went through with Hahn? Why are the interns acting out Flatliners? Why do we keep adding characters when there are already too many? Plus, I’m hearing that George has been so absent lately because ABC is getting ready to boot him too. Done..done..done…On the plus side, I’m glad that it pissed me off so much, that I could dump it because I still can’t break up with Heroes & it is killing me.

And as one thing ends, another begins….

I broke up with Britney a long time ago & I’ve been secretly hoping that she would come back & kick some ass old school style. She’s been making the rounds recently (MTV, GMA) and I have to say that although I don’t think she’s back to “Oops level” it is certainly an improvement. This morning she performed “Circus” and “Womanizer” on GMA. Of course she didn’t sing live & in “Womanizer” there was a lot of walking around, but there was a lot more dancing in “Circus.” At times she did look a little awkward but for the most part she was Britney. And ya know what, I am going to buy her new record. She needs some positive reinforcement right now because I’m still a wee bit concerned about her. I mean, I’m glad she’s got her daddy & original manager back with her but during the MTV special there were moments she did not look entirely stable. Check out the GMA performance here:

Letting Go.
Oh, I’m still so depressed about Pushing Daisies. I’m getting over Dirty Sexy Money & Eli Stone but I’m a sad girl when I think about losing Ned & company. Creator Brian Fuller has said that a movie may be in the works, so I’ll hold out hope for that.

At least I still have Jack Bauer. 24: Redemption was awesome, Jack Bauer kicked ass (even killed someone with his leg) and I’m super excited for this season. Hooray for Jack.

Oh & before I forget, next month the mid-season shows start rolling in, so be on the look out for the new & improved tv listings soon! Fox is already pissing me off! Dollhouse will be on Friday nights starting in February. Why oh Why don’t you show the Whedon the proper respect?
