Summer TV!

[turnonmyheels]

Make it or Break it I really, really, REALLY hate the Tanners. I realized as I was watching the other night, that I watch this show for pretty much one reason and that's Emily Kmetko and her awesome boyfriend Damon, god I ship them SO HARD]. While I pull for the other girls too -- sometimes even the evil Lauren Tanner but not after this past week, I'm SO over rooting for her -- Emily *is* the show for me. She made me cry this week, FYI. Michelle Clunie's current guest spot makes her days as Melanie on QAF look like a nice person. o.O

Huge I'm two episodes in and I'm not liking it. I'm going to give it one more episode because Gina Torres! but I'm pretty sure after that I'm done.

Pretty Little Liars Didn't make it past the second episode.

Burn Notice The new guy? Jesse? OMFG. GUHGUH. I've never found Michael Westin all that attractive beyond my competency!kink and his snazzy suits. This Jesse guy? Totally cranks my chain and I find myself rooting for Fiona/Jesse, and Jesse/Fiona/Michael

So You Think You Can Dance This is my first full season of the show and lo how I wish I'd been watching all along. I have my favorites: the only two remaining women, Alex and Kent. I don't dislike the others -- with one exception -- but I don't find them as exciting to watch. I especially don't care for Adechike, there was another contemporary dancer from NYC, the one who had the pulled hamstring in Vegas? I wanted him to win the whole show and I think I resent Adechike for presumably taking his place. Plus? How many freaking chances can they give you before you finally get better?

I haven't watched Rescue Me yet, because I like to watch it in a couple of big chunks. I'm always wary of True Blood, it's one of those shows I essentially watch so I know what everyone else is talking about.

About the Emmy's. It's about god damn time you recongized Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton. Does this mean it will take 4 seasons before you recognize Katy Sagal and Ryan Hurst? Will they *ever* be acknowledged? I'm pleased The Good Wife was honored because the women on that show deserved it, but the rest of the nominations felt redundant and stupid to me. That's what awards are about though, right?

ETA Another 911 call for Tom this morning at 4, he's been admitted to the hospital and has essential been undergoing breathing treatments since the ambulance picked him up

Ugh - I hope the hospital stay is able to help Tom get back on his breathing feet!

Today the plan was to try swimming at the Y, just in case I do a tri eventually. Instead I slept 10 hours, and that wasn't entirely a bad choice *g*, but still - must try this soon!

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

Me too. I haven't seen him but Mom says he's fully under the influence of all the steroids he's on [read: hateful and short-tempered] not to mention scared out of his mind.

10 hours of sleep sounds AMAZING.

Yeah, I'm more than a little pissed off that True Blood was nominated for best show over both Friday Night Lights AND Sons of Anarchy, and that Katey wasn't nominated, because, good Lord, she was more than amazing.

But I'm beyond thrilled for both Connie & Kyle for finally getting some love.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

When I saw True Blood was nominated I was overcome with a fit of hysterical laughter. I mean, it's *crack* there's nothing outstanding about it beyond its lunacy. And the hard bodies of its actors. It has absolutely NO REDEEMING qualities at all.

Just so you know, I watched the first three eps of Sons of Anarchy with Maraschino last night and we are both hooked! Jacks is scorching hot! (and I normally don't like blonds) Katy Sagal kicks ass!

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

ANOTHER CONVERT!!! I *so* want to be Gemma when I grow up. Or at least a fraction as hot as Katy

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

Psst!! Try The Gates. Vampires, werewolves, witches, hot guys, what more could you ask for? Oh, and pretty decent story as well!

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

What network/day/time? I've heard really, really *terrible* things about it ... is it good terrible stuff?

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

It comes on ABC on Sundays at 10pm Eastern time, 9pm Central time. So far, only three episodes have aired and I've seen the first two.

It's not *terrible*, but it's not great either....it's kind of like a Melrose Place type of show, with vampires, werewolves, witches, succubus, and other things I haven't seen yet.

Plus, the hot guys are really hot....and they like to attach each other...and innocent bathrooms.

Prayers for Tom. Hugs for you.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

Thank you for both. He's still in the hospital. They told him yesterday he could go home first thing this morning, but his Doctor ixnayed it b/c he hasn't moved around any at all. Until he's up and getting around on his own he has to stay.

Got my package thank you so much for sending it. Sorry to be such a dumbass and leave it all behind. Especially since I'd only stopped and opened my bag at that moment to make sure I had ALL those things. ::Head desk::

I adore So you think you can dance. So, so much.

I'm so upset about Alex, he was my favorite by a mile.

But now...I love Kent. He just makes me smile. All the time. I can't look at him and not grin. I want to pinch his cheeks and mother him.

So yes. SYTYCD. I have no words for how much I love to watch that show.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

I'm crushed for Alex, he was truly the best dancer and such a joy to watch. I hope he has a full and speedy recovery and that we get to see him again. Kent makes me smile too, he's so joyful and easy to watch.

Make It or Break It has stolen all my (little) free time. I am in love with both Payson and Emily and really, really love it all.

Does this mean it will take 4 seasons before you recognize Katy Sagal and Ryan Hurst? Will they *ever* be acknowledged?

No kidding! I need more people to recognize how awesome they are.

[turnonmyheels.livejournal.com]

I've loved all four of the main girls at times so hard they've each brought tears to my eyes in their own way. But after last week's episode I don't think I'll ever be sympathetic to Lauren again. ::draws hearts around utterly ridiculous couldn't be more unrealistic if it tried show::

I had high hopes that the Sons would get at least a nod for *something* Poor FX is the bastard child of all the cable networks.
