Week in Review takes a look back at the week that was on television by using short and pithy comments. Pretty simple formula, right? Enjoy! MONDAY
Gossip Girl: The best episode of 2009. Reasons: 1.) Michelle Trachtenberg, swoon! 2.) Making Blair the "Danny Ocean" in the Poppy Montgomery revenge plot.
24: Talk about tuning out: I literally don't remember one thing that happened this past week.
TUESDAY
Fringe: Yes, that was Jennifer Ferrin, the actress who played Sam Tyler's mother on Life on Mars, as a firestarter. In other news: this show is actually pretty darn good.
90210: This is probably worthy of a future blog post, but: why do what are ostensibly teen shows feel the need to treat their characters like adults? Fact is, I'd rather be watching a television show about 20-somethings anyway, so why not just embrace the age? Take 90210, which this week featured a baby/bridal shower and a bachelor party. For 16-year-olds. Welcome to television in 2009.
WEDNESDAY
L O S T: "If this works, you might just save us all... and if it doesn't, at least you'll put us out of our misery."
The Unusuals: This show is officially getting deleted from my DVR.
THURSDAY
Parks and Recreation: My only complaint--besides a criminal lack of Aubrey Plaza--is the whole unrequited romance subplot that's brewing between Amy Poehler's Leslie and Paul Schneider's Mark. I know Parks and Recreation rips off The Office, but does it have to bore us with a relationship too. Also, please note: Mr. Schneider and Ms. Poehler have anti-chemistry.
The Office: Dance party USA!
30 Rock: Effortlessly hilarious.
Grey's Anatomy: Wow. There are few words that I can use to describe how truly terrible this "extra special" 100th episode of Grey's Anatomy really was, but I'll give it a shot: trite, cloying, ridiculous (not in a good way), sentimental (also not in a good way), unbelievable (still not in a good way). In closing: This is the pits.
Jon Voight got blown up by a car bomb :)
