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: I wrote about the season finale for the Observer. Just some addition notes: it looks like Michelle Trachtenberg is only signed on for three episodes at the start of season three, which is kinda disappointing. Not disappointing? That Serena will end up going to school in Manhattan. It looks like Josh Schwartz figured out how to make a teen show survive the college years: set it in New York.
24: OK, this sucked. Any goodwill that had been built up throughout the season--a notion which I always felt was overblown--was lost during the season finale. Just so we're clear: some guy we've never heard of has been responsible for every bit of terrorism ever on the show. Good to know. Also, ending your season with the lead character in a medically induced coma is a total fail.
TUESDAY
90210: This show is a total mess: why did they fire Dustin Milligan? Why did they have Annie go all Carrie and then run over something (someone) in a fit of rage? Why would Naomi's sister be the worst person ever other than because the script told her to?
Glee: You can see what I wrote about this show over at the Observer.
THURSDAY
Southland: The season finale was pretty solid, but I'm not sure if this series will survive on my DVR come the fall (the switch to Fridays at 9 doesn't bode well either).
FRIDAY
Party Down: This show will end up getting the same kind of press before its second season that Mad Men did. Do yourself a favor and get on board over the summer. You don't want to be left behind the curve.
