Lala in TV Land - Episode 01

Welcome to the first installment of my TV column.

- Every week I am going to bring you my opinion on the best TV shows of the week. To organize things a bit, I will separate the shows into "Newbies" and "Oldies" in the order they aired during the week (The "Oldies" being the ones that are simply returning from previous seasons)...

ENJOY!

Newbies

True Blood is only getting better and better in my opinion. After a very weird premiere, I really thought I would hate it. However, every week the shoe keeps surprising me in a good way. Thanks to Allan Ball (creator of “Six feet under”) for presenting us with one of the best new shows on TV.

On this new episode we got to witness how Bill became a vampire on a very moving flashback. I loved seeing him win over the towns people during the historical meeting. And Jason will never change hehe.

Valentine premiered this week on the CW network. I was quite pleasantly surprised with the premise and the plot of the show.

It is a cute show that shows a family of “Gods” on mount Olympus that have to bring together soul mates. They have been having some problems with the concept of love, so they bring aboard a romance novelist to help them out. It was nice seeing some familiar faces.

After last week’s episode of 90210, I had decided to give up on it. This week was its last chance. This week’s episode changed that. It wasn’t an amazing episode, but it was definitely an improvement.

Of course, Annie is still annoying as hell. But Adriana’s and Naomi’s friendship/Drama was very nice. The new girl was fun, though the twist about her in the end was sort of stupid. I thought that finally a student was going to hook up with the hot teacher Ryan, damn it hehe. I just hope they get better; otherwise, I’m done with it.

Privileged is my favorite new CW show. Great writing and acting, which is more than I can say for a lot of shows out there. It is not a show that plans to change the world, but it does its job inn entertaining us.

This week episode showed us different kinds of friendship and sister/sister relationships. I love the shows sense of humor and I just hope it keeps it up. Only thing that bothers me, Three hot guys into Megan? That’s too much… lol.

The ex-list is only on its second episode and I already love love this show. The main actress does such an amazing job and her character is so sweet that you can’t help but fall in love with her.

Bella starts seeing another ex and it does not go well again. It’s sooooo obvious she belongs with her most recent ex and I am dying to see how they get there.

Oldies

I just love The Big Bang Theory and this new season has been very entertaining and soooo funny. Sheldon has been stealing the show from everybody else.

Watching Penny become addicted to an online game was hilarious and of course, when she was about to go on a virtual date with the nerdest (is that even a word? Hehe) of nerds she finally came to her senses lol.

My favorite comedy out there came back to its fourth season with a great episode. The second episode wasn’t the best and this week’s third ep wasn’t amazing, but it was definitely very funny.

I always say that Barney steals the show and that is so true. Neil Patrick Harris needs to get recognition for this amazing character soon. The episode took place mostly in New Jersey, where Stella lives. Big life changing decisions in the end of this episode, I just can’t wait to see how it pans out. Marshall proclaiming his love for New Jersey was awesome :)

Chuck came back this season better than ever. Finally Chuck stopped getting saved to do some saving in this episode. We can see the character's development so clearly. He is finally becoming an agent and that'sso cool. This show doesn't take itself too seriously and that is its secret weapon.

Two great guests on this episode, Melinda Clarck and John Larroquete. Both guests brought great things to the show and a lot of fun. Chuck and Sarah finally coming to terms with their feelings and then Bryce shows up in the end? Damn it, not a chance in hell I'm going to miss the next episode :)

I just love how whimsical Pushing Daisies is, its colours and photography are brilliant. Ned and Chuck are my favorite couple ever and sadly they can never be together :(

So sad to see Ned suffering with Chuck's moving out, but they find a way to cope and their new morning game is extremelly cute. Olive telling all her secrets to the pig was hilarious :)

Shows watched but not commented: Kath and Kim, Life on mars, Merlin, Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, Heroes, The office and Ugly Betty.

MVP (Most Valuable Player): Chuck
