I got really sick this past Sunday and have been trapped in my house ever since. I’ve been able to whittle my DVR down to almost nothing but can’t say that I feel like I’ve accomplished much as a human being.
There’s nothing worse than being stuck in your house and either not feeling like doing anything productive or physically being unable to accomplish the things you wish you could.
When it wasn’t coming out of both ends, my entire body was in pain for all of Sunday and most of Monday. Not aching, actual pain. My head, my neck, my back and my legs were killing me. I obviously diagnosed myself with meningitis but that never came to pass…
Sure I’ve watched a good amount of television but not enough to constitute a ton. Hell half of it was listened to instead of watched because I couldn’t turn my body in that direction for the first 2 days.
THE AMAZING RACE continues to be a strong season and come on, we got to meet Phil’s Dad… how sweet was that? Now if only we could find a way to plummet Terence and Sarah off a cliff. Those two are complete and total douchelips. And while they’re falling to their death, I hope that they somehow take those crotch-rockets Kelly and Christy with them.
BIG BANG THEORY was hilarious and continues to become one of my favorite comedies. Sheldon on Wolowitz’s scooter seriously almost made me wet myself. Surely I could pass incontinence off as part of my sickness.
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER was pretty good but not great. Some moments were incredible though and I laughed a good bit. I’m sad that they made Stella so unlikeable before getting rid of her but I can’t say I’ll miss her at all.
GOSSIP GIRL finally saw the return of little gay Eric Van der Woodsen… with Spring Awakening boyfriend in tow. Sweet, they’re finally giving Eric some action. Now if only someone would give the boy some cutting shears and some hair dye… for reals! Evil Blair was back in action which is always a treat. While I thought evil Chuck was back, I’m happy to see yet another layer of that complex brat was revealed. How about Nate and Dan being on the verge of bangin’? That relationship is way gayer than Eric’s… I’m just sayin! xoxo
HEROES was enjoyable. Daphne is j’adorable and I’m glad that she isn’t gone after being killed in the future but to be honest I don’t know what in Samhain’s going on with the rest of the show. I’m sad Adam Monroe turned to dust so quickly, who doesn’t need a little Sark in their lives? Marionette Man was a great side story, that was one creepy ass dude. Will someone kill Mohinder already? I hate that dude. I’m glad they explained Hiro killing Ando and it wasn’t a real scenario where he would have to go back and stop himself… a fake sword and blood actually seemed perfect and logical in my death bed haze. Then there’s Mr. Petrelli who’s an asshole of a man, stealing his own son’s power. What’s that all aboot? Come on dude, spread the wealth… I know a ton of people have given up on the show but I’m really enjoying it this season. I don’t know if they know where they’re going with it but I feel like I’m willing to stick it out more than I was before.
MY OWN WORST ENEMY was fine but as much as I liked the pilot, this was just more of the same… no literally almost the exact same. Everyone worried about where the show would go after the first ep. and unless it goes somewhere drastically different in ep. 3 I don’t know that Christian and I will be gleaming the cube much longer.
I was able to catch THE BIGGEST LOSER: FAMILIES last night, enough of it to infuriate me! I know it’s all sorts of wrong to wish bad things on people who are changing their lives for the better but some of these ass-faces need to go!
That spiteful bitch Heba is first on my list. She orchestrated Phil’s exile to Jillian’s team last week after almost killing anyone that challenged her in the food competition now this week she rallies against his wife, her own teammate, for simply being married to the man. It was heinous. I know it’s wrong to wish her ill will but right now, I hope she gains 50 pounds. The woman sucks. Same goes for Brady’s worthless, rat faced homely wife Vicky. Is she shitting me with her attitude? How she was the biggest loser on the blue team this week is beyond me but just like Heba, I hope that bitch goes home next week. Go Coleen, Go Amy C. and just for the hell of it, Go Phil!
On Tuesday morning my TV started stroking out on me. It’s been working off and on for the last 20 hours but it’s not to be trusted. We still have warranty coverage for it but the service call isn’t until November 8th. So fingers crossed y’all.
TV Talk with GMMR and Ducky is finally back! We discuss the new fall schedule day by day and break down our returning faves and possible new must-sees.
From Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl, Chuck to Heroes and My Own Worst Enemy on Monday. Tuesday’s are Biggest Loser, House, 90210, Privileged to Fringe and The Mentalist.

Over on Thursday’s we’ve got Ugly Betty, Survivor, Kath & Kim, Grey’s Anatomy, The Office, 30 Rock, Supernatural, Life on Mars and Eleventh Hour. Friday night is all about The Ghost Whisperer (I kid) and The Ex-List and Life.

It’s a busy season folks, sit back and relax because we talk forever.

Notice that there’s a trend to the quotes they used from me. God you’d think I’m gay or something. Hello!

Just look at Monday’s will you? There is only one word that can describe Monday’s schedule and that is banoodles! How the frak is a TV lover supposed to live with the torture? The TV Gods love and hate Josh Schwartz because they’ve pit both of his shows against each other. Now that ain’t right.
I’ve been contemplating how the hell to make it all work but obviously some shows are going to have to take a backseat. I have to factor in my partner’s needs so the few shows that he likes take precedence. That means live on Monday nights we’ll be watching a good mix of what we both like. That’s what compromise is all about kids.
THE BIG BANG THEORY and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER will be watched live because we laugh our asses off at both sitcoms. I’m so excited to see Sarah Gilbert come onto BBT as a regular and seriously the anticipation of whether or not Sarah Chalke is the Mother makes both of these shows Must See TV.
The other show that I’ll watch in the 8 o’clock hour on Monday’s is GOSSIP GIRL. I know what you’re thinking… what about CHUCK? Well, Chuck is going to have to be a download or online viewing. Of the Schwartz-ies Choice, those Upper East Siders are much more entertaining for this big queer. No offense Bartowski.
TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES will also have to become an alternate viewing. I spent part of the summer watching the entire first season and I really enjoy the show so trust me, this was a hard choice as well. And that’s just the first timeslot of the night, oh christ.
At 9:00 I’ve only got HEROES. I cannot wait to see what they do with Season 3 and the whole Villians motif. The previews I’ve seen so far give the show a new direction and a renewed darkness… much needed after a very uneven and dismall Season 2.
Finally, I’m thinking of taking on the new action show MY OWN WORST ENEMY starring Christian Slater. If you’ve seen the latest preview, the show looks like great fun.
Can you believe that’s just Monday… the start of the week is scary enough to turn off even this dedicated tube viewer. Stay tuned for Tuesday.
I’ve gotta say that before NBC sent me this clip of MY OWN WORST ENEMY today I had no idea what this show even was but now I’m kind of excited to actually see the pilot.
Christian Slater (oh how I loved thee in Legend of Billie Jean, Gleaming the Cube, Heathers and Pump Up The Volume) stars with Mike O’Malley and Saffron Burrows in this Jekyll/Hyde action drama which premieres October 13th.
