Well, another TV season is over. The finales aired. The cliffhangers have hung. And I'm left looking back at the season. with a befuddled feeling. Sure there were a few shows that were fun but not that many. In fact, I gave up on some shows...ME the TV addict! So here's my recap of the season for those interested. Um, let's be honest this might take awhile. You're welcome to skim or just read about the shows you watch too.
Old Favorites
House MD It was not only the season finale but the series finale. There was the scare there in the middle of the season about Dr. Chase leaving and that had me a little worked up but all in all I'm not sure what I thought of that ending. There were things that made me smile but I'm not sure House really grew as a person. Maybe that wasn't the point, though. In the end I was satisfied.
America's Next Top Model
For those of you who don't know, there's two cycles (as they call them) during a season. In the fall we had the All Stars Cycle and I wasn't overly thrilled with Lisa winning. It could have been worse but, yeah. The next cycle was the British Invasion and I couldn't be happier with who one! I won't say in case you watch it and haven't see the finale but I'm glad they chose the better girl!
This season was OK. The whole "who will she choose" had me excited but...I don't know, it just wasn't THAT amazing. Still, I have a blast texting with Suey and my friend who watches it. My sister caught up and watched this season too and that was fun. As for the finale? We were all so confused. Definitely need to watch it again.
The Mentalist
Yeah, I watch this one for the back story of Red John, not the crime solving per se, though that is fun too, but I'm getting a little tired of the Red John thing. They need to kill him off already. They can't keep dragging it out! And what was with that finale?
Supernatural
I do love Dean and Sam! I'll stick with those boys through good and bad seasons. This one wasn't too bad. Not the best season ever but not the worst either. And it had the funniest Supernatural moment ever! I haven't laughed that hard for some time. It still makes me giggle. The finale was fun and had quite the cliffhanger...as usual.
New Shows
Hart Of Dixie
I feel like I shouldn't even say anything about this one because I didn't watch the whole season. I saw enough though. And I'm so mad at the finale...actually I'm not positive it was the finale. I'm just mad that she even liked the butt ugly George! There's no freaking chemistry! Not like there is with Wade! Oh, Wade, forget Zoe, you can have me!
New Girl
This one is just fun! If you're not watching you should. I'm not sure what I think about them dragging out the romance between Jess and Nick but it's still a funny show.
Now this show rocked! I was on the edge of my seat all season! The second to last episode of the season had more of a cliffhanger than the actual finale but still. Can't wait for next season! I do wonder where they can go from here. How much can they really drag it out??? We shall see.
Grimm
Took a tinsy bit too long to really hook me but I'm glad I stuck with it. I love the relationship between Nick and Monroe and I have suspicions about Juliette. I'm interested to see where this one goes too.
The Gave Up On
Once Upon A Time
I know! People loved this one but after just one episode I lost interest. And, no, I won't be giving it another try. I just don't care enough.
Ringer
Not sure why I gave up on this one. It had mystery and intrigue but the soap opera feeling just didn't do anything for me.
Harry's Law
:( I wanted to watch this one but it got bumped in lieu of other shows. I might try to catch up on it but I don't know.
Law and Order SVU
No one freaking told me Stabler was leaving the show! I tried to stick with it but I was just too much of a Stabler fan and his absence ruined it for me. I gave up.
The Secret Circle
Besides the fact that the MC drove me bonkers this one was just a bit hokey for me. I might try to finish the season but I don't know. Anyone out there think I should?
Favorite Show This Season!!!!
Holy crap! I'm so in love with this show especially this season! I loved Hal and Tom so much I can't wait till there back! And word is, they will be! Huzzah! Can't wait!
Okay... I really need to try Being Human BBC version. Love your recap. I didn't watch ANY new tv this season (except Awake, which got cancelled).
ReplyDeleteYeah, I forgot to add Awake to my list. I tried getting into it but it's one I gave up on. :(
DeleteI LOVED New Girl this season! Hart of Dixie had its cute moments too...but I know what you mean about the whole George thing! Wade is WAY hotter and they have WAY more chemistry together! I still have to watch the season finale for Vampire Diaries but my cousins said it was kind of intense! I've been meaning to try Being Human BBC since you did a posting on it months ago but school has kept me too busy! I hate when my favourite shows go off the air for the summer...but it always gives you time to get into some new series too! You should give BBC's Sherlock a try! It's bloody brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI know! It's sad waiting all summer. I've heard good things about Sherlock. I'll have to try it...that's just what I need another show to obsess about. ;)
DeletePS. YAY Blogger let me leave a comment for once!! Praise the lord!
ReplyDeleteYAY! I'm so happy! I've missed your comments!
DeleteI also love New Girl. I kind of like the romance being dragged out. I'm worried that if they get together too quickly, it will ruin it.
ReplyDeleteI gave up on House three seasons ago. I hated that all the story lines were the same. And, I was mad that "Kumar" killed himself.
And, I was pretty miffed that Stabler left too. I don't want the show anymore, except on USA because it's the old seasons.
Yeah, there's always that risk of rushing and then ruining it in romances on TV but when they drag stuff on for too long in can ruin it too.
DeleteI miss Stabler! At least we can always watch the old episodes.
Yay, another ANTM fan! I love Tyra! Lisa was not my fav on the all star's cycle too, but overall it was still a cool season. I didn't get to watch British Invasion, but hopefully I will catch it on re-runs.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes feel so alone in my ANTM watching! I'm glad I'm not alone. The British Invasion one was pretty fun. I hope you get to watch it.
DeleteSo... why did you give up on Once Upon a Time and NOT Grimm? I don't get it!!! I will have to catch up on Grimm when it comes to Netflix... and Revenge.. and Being Human... the rest... eh. Oh, and Supernatural of course. I WILL do it, I promise. But first... as you know, I have to watch Buffy. :)
ReplyDeleteGrimm is just more my style. I'm not sure you'll like it. It's very crime solvey and doesn't have tons of back story in the beginning.
DeleteYou better catch up on Supernatural some day. ;)
Wow. You watch a lot of TV! I don't watch any of these shows. I'm not really into much in the way of TV. A few shows, but not very many. For me, the golden age of TV has been over since the 80's.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I watch WAY too much TV! Those old 80 shows were good. I liked two sitcoms from way back then that I still think about from time to time. Good stuff.
DeleteI'm not that impressed with Once Upon A Time either. I think I was kinda hoping for something darker but the special effects are so cheap it makes me laugh. The season finale of Hart of Dixie is on tonight so I'm going to watch it later on. I kinda like George. He's very sweet if a bit bland. I really love Wade though. Even if he is so self destructive. Sometimes Zoe really annoys me. What do you mean Stabler left? They may as well cancel the series.
ReplyDeleteSee? We're just too much alike! Hee hee. Well, if you stick with Once Upon a Time and end up loving it let me know.
DeleteThey totally should have just cancelled SVU without Stabler!
I too gave up on Once Upon a Time and Ringer. I thought I would really like Once Upon a Time but I couldn't even make it through the first episode.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved Grimm, Revenge and New Girl. I completely agree about Nick and Jess. They should just get together already! I don't know how much further they can drag out Revenge but I hope they do because that is by far my favorite show this year.
I forgot to mention... I'm not a regular SVU watcher but Stabler leaving is really bad. Makes me not even want to be a casual watcher.
DeleteSounds like me. I got bored in the very first episode of Once Upon a Time too. I think those of us that liked Grimm didn't like Once Upon a Time and vice versa. It's just a theory of mine. ;)
DeleteI don't mind them dragging out Revenge either I'm just curious as to how they'll do it.
At some point I gave up on some shows, too. Mostly because I didn't have time to watch them. From the ones you posted the only ones I've watched are House and Harry's Law. And I stopped watching House after the fourth or fifth season but I did watch the finale.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about the ending of the TV season is that it means new episodes of Burn Notice.
Amen! I LOVE Burn Notice!
