(S01E09) Ah, so good to see Sam, Sock, Ben, and of course the Devil back this week. Last week we had to do without them, and I missed my dose of Reaper. I’ve always liked the show, and while others may have disagreed it seemed I thought that on more than one occasion they proved they were not limited by rules to follow in each and every episodes.
And this week was no exception, once again we were treated with a new story and development that are far from making Reaper a formula-show, or a simple monster-of-the-week kinda deal. It is so much more than that, and watching an episode of that show is always much fun.

(S01E10) This is a show that from the start I thought had great potential, and I was pretty excited about it when I started watching. But then, episodes after episodes I lost touch with it, and the more it went the less interested I was, to eventually pass the point of no return after which I simply didn’t care anymore about it.
And that’s a shame, because it really could have been something pretty cool, and I really wished it would have happened. But the show never got there, it kept making mistakes and not doing what should have been done and doing things that didn’t made sense or definitely should not be done, what a disappointment this whole experienced will have turned out to be.
Then to make things ever worst, we got this episode. An episode that was actually pretty good !

(S01E10) So you know how last week I said I didn’t really like the show, (or was it how I really didn’t like it?), and given that cutie Rachel Bilson was out I wouldn’t watch it no more. Well, funny thing happened: I watched it. Yeah, I don’t know what happened, habit I guess, or something, who cares the point is, I just watched this week’s episode.
I guess there’s those shows you watch but maybe don’t admit it, kind of a guilty pleasure, like Gossip Girl for instance. A show which, by the way, got better after a while I guess. It’s still not that great, but better than what I feared it would be after the first episodes. And you also have those shows you hate, but still watch them every week, it’s like you can’t help it. Maybe that’s what Chuck became for me, I don’t know, I thought that was Heroes.

(S02E10) Okay people, so I’ve said I would keep watching this show till the end of the show, which is closer than one may think, and I will. And while everyone was already jumping ahead and claiming that Heroes was back to being great after the past few episodes, I was never there. I mean sure, it wasn’t as bad as it used to be, especially when this season started - boy was that bad!
But still, plenty of stuff were wrong, I mean look at that “Four Months Ago” episode, what was that ? Like we cared about those stupid twins and how they’ve always been annoying and useless and deserved to die, in a slow and painful way.

(S03E10) Last week’s episode was number nine, and it was important because that number, when it comes to HIMYM episode, have a significance. Last year, it was the Slapbet. This year, it was Slapsgiving. Now the question is, what will it be next year ? It better involve another slap !
But that was no reason to expect anything different from that show, we expect it to be funny, and awesome, just because we do so every week, I mean this is the Barney show How I Met Your Mother after all !
This episode was constructed with two main stories, one leading to the other. The first one involved the whole gang, while the second one was a little more restricted party. A party I’m sure you guys would have loved too to be a part of, because it was awesome !

(S06E07) Here we go with the second episode of Family Guy that creator Seth MacFarlane didn’t get to tweak and made final adjustment to before it was sent to the network, given that a strike is going on and the writers of this show, including MacFarlane, are picketing.
Last week, I thought we had a pretty disappointing episode. I’m not saying this was due to the absence of last minute tweaking - in fact, I doubt it was - but regardless the episode wasn’t really good, or funny. This week was better.

(DVD) Tonight on Fox, you’ll be able to watch a new episode of Family Guy, a series once canceled. Because sometimes, thanks to the great support & effort of fans, a show can survive its cancellation.
When it comes to Futurama, Fox did not change its mind. Never mind those morons, because the show will still be back ! First, there will be four direct-to-DVD movies done, which will then be reconfigured to air on Comedy Central as 16 half-hour episodes. Bender’s Big Score is the first of those DVD movies, which will consists of the first four episodes, will be available in store November 27th.
I got lucky enough to get a chance to watch it already, and sure as Hell wasn’t going to wait. And men, was it good to see Bender, Fry, Leela, and all the others !

(S03E09) Things are a but slow these days, and still it took me a while to watch that show. I actually didn’t even think of watching in right when I first could, so used to let it sit on my DVR and watch it during the weekend. Then it took me a little longer than usual, but I now did and I’m sure glad I did.
This episode was about a story we were introduced last week already, and last week I gave my thoughts about what we got to see then. And it wasn’t really good, because that was pretty much everything I didn’t like so much during that episode. But last week was only an introduction and it didn’t tell much about what was going on, besides that obviously the whole team would stop everything to find who attacked one of their own.

(S01E07) It’s Thanksgiving week and as a result many shows just vanished, because in those times of strike networks are not willing to burn new episodes too fast, especially when chances are there will be less viewers than usual. And despite having no more than three episodes left, ABC still decided to offer us a fresh new pie this week, and I am really thankful for that.
While it is not my personal favorite new series of the season (Life beat it to it), Pushing Daisies is without a doubt a very nice new series and the sweetest one of all. I may not like everything about it, but I sure love most of it - and overall I really do enjoy it every time.

(S04E08) It’s pretty much always the same with this show, for me. I’m always very excited when I know a new episode is coming, I can’t wait to get to see it because I know that whatever is going to happen during that hour will be yet another great moment of brilliant television. I may not know what will happen, what the case will be or anything, but I know - and, to be honest, I expect - that this will be a blissful moment.
I do feel that this is the greatest show on TV, and as such I do expect a lot from it every week. This for sure does put a lot of pressure on House and his team, because I’m pretty sure I would never be satisfied with a “more-than-okay” episode. Hell no, from House I expect a lot better than that, but the treat is that every time when I’m done watching, I feel like I got even more than I was hoping for.
