Top 10 Shows You Should Have Watched

Because then we might still have them...

1. Alias: Jen Garner will always be Sydney Bristow to me which I why I always believe she could kick my a**. This show was amazing and introduced the world to not only Jen Garner but also Bradley Cooper! It lost its footing a bit at the end of the third season but at the end it gave the fans what they wanted. I would try to explain this show to you but like Lost it would take a whole lot! So here is a basic description Jen Garner is a secret agent working for the CIA, we follow her, her handlers and team members, and all the regular folks in her normal everyday life who have no idea what she does. Oh and there are like a million twists- not an exaggeration.

2. Veronica Mars: No one had as many great one liners as this show. About a teen sleuth who lives in a small town with some issues. Veronica is trying to solve her best friend’s murder. Equal parts family drama, mystery, teen drama, small town drama and hilarious. Just watch it you will love it.

3. Keen Eddie: An American Detective gets sent to England to solve a drug ring. He interacts with the British- that is all I needed! Mark Valley also not bad on the eyes, his English Partner witty & awkward as can be. And yes that is Sienna Miller as his annoying flat mate. Just thinking about it makes me want to pull the DVDs out.

4. Life: So how is this for Original an alleged dirty cop gets sent to jail for killing his partner & family, years later they overturn his case because it wasn’t him and part of his settlement he wants back on the force. Damien Lewis is the best in this show and you should watch it just for him. Not to mention him trying to solve the murder he was sent to jail for and a new case each week. Plus watch him reenter the world after being in prison for so long. Oh and that is just the surface.

5. Life On Mars: A remake of a British Show that has a cop fall into a coma and end up back as a cop in the 1970’s NYC. He is trying to figure out why he is there, live, and how to get back.

6. The Black Donnellys: Gritty & Dark & Dramatic about a set of Irish brothers who just keep making the wrong decisions. And in their neighborhood it gets dangerous. Tommy the smartest/responsible/legit brother tries to keep them out of trouble but just watch and you will see why he cannot. This is one of those shows where guys are always surprised you admitted you love.

7. Kitchen Confidential: Bradley Cooper again this show is based on Anthony Bourdain’s cooking career in NYC and the entire kitchen he puts together are funny characters.

8. Popular: You know that show Glee- that everyone is digging right now well Ryan Murphy created/ran this show first and it is even snarkier. A hilarious take on high school politics with a lot of crazy antics thrown in. I literally laugh out loud in every episode, and then feel bad for laughing at such meanness.

9. Buffy: I know we got 7 seasons but really that whole moving to the UPN thing-lame. And well you missed out so check it out and Joss Whedon’s current show Dollhouse which is also very good.

10. The American Embassy: this show was on all the way back in 2002 and only for a month. But it made such an impact on me I wanted this girl’s job so much! A young American woman takes an Embassy job in London for adventure and to get away from her family. It is the only show I can think of that was based in an embassy and I wish it had lasted longer. Plus the whole American Coworker CIA guy verse local British Playboy don’t you want your date nights to consist of that!

And 2 that deserved to get completely and totally axed!
1.The Beautiful Life: Really I am ashamed I wasted an hour watching this awful show with worse acting. But in my defense I was cleaning and it was the only thing on.
2.Wedding Cashers: this craptastic reality show replaced Donnelllys imagine my surprise when I tuned in. Really only Owen & Vince can pull that off guys and with real people’s weddings it is not as funny- just seeing the premise made me change the channel.

Top Ten Shows of Fall

Uh these shows make my world go round.

*Vampire Diaries - Man what I can I say. I'm pretty sure that I could just gush about this show I love it so. First the men are just beautifully defined. There's just no other way to describe it. Second, when they turn vampire-y they actually scare me. Which I totally dig. There hasn't been a vamp that scared me since Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire. Yes the story is not exactly new but it feels different and fresh.

*Glee - If I were prone to using acronyms like lol or something like that I would use lmao here because honestly this show is hilarious. These kids are awkward and weird and truly messed up. But they're funny. And holy cow can they sing. Jane Lynch is my favorite villian and each week I can't wait for the next thing to come.

*Community - Joel McHale is everything I love. Funny, sarcastic, good looking and the whole scenario of community college is priceless. The weirdest people go there and this show captures it well. The supporting cast is amazing as well from John Oliver to Chevy Chase and the Indian guy, they're so so funny together. I don't really like the main girl but I can overlook it for the rest of the show.

*Private Practice - My love of this show could go back to Tim Daly being in Wings which I watched quite often, but it really is a good drama. I also love Kate Walsh's character and the whole dynamic of the other cast. It's not quite as fantastically dramatic as Grey's so it's a nice step back while not being boring.

*Grey's Anatomy - I don't know what else to say about this show but I love it. Next week someone is supposedly leaving the hospital and I am just going to be upset if it's Derek. He and Meredith are finally okay together so screwing it up would be terrible...

*NCIS LA - I am pretty sure I can feel Cory's disapproval here of all things NCIS, I however love it. I really really like Chris O'Donnell and the dynamic he has LL Cool J is really funny. They're solving crime and it's entertaining to watch. Plus I love a show with a good psychologist in it and this one definitely provides.

*House - Who doesn't like House? He says what everyone wishes they could say, only wittier. So many good one liners have come from this show. He is just interesting to watch. You get to watch him have epiphanies and everyone else on the show try and keep up. I also love Wilson and his dilligence to keeping House under control. Plus the other doctors are always good for a little drama as well.

*Lie To Me - I'm a psychology nerd so watching people analyze body language to decide if they're lying is fascinating. And Cal Lightman is really sarcastic and witty as well which is my favorite. Trying to figure out the puzzles while they are trying to figure them out really keeps you interested in the show.

*The Office - Not quite as good as the first couple of seasons but always good for a laugh. Whether it's the creepiness of Creed, the madness of Dwight, or just how funny Jim is, it's always entertaining.

*Gossip Girl - I've had an up and down relationship with Gossip Girl but this season has been doing well. I really like Chuck and Blair together and watching them interact with everyone else is always good. Serena is crazy but you just accept that. Real college is not this dramatic so it's fun to watch how it should never be.

Shows I'm not so thrilled with this fall:
*One Tree Hill - Despite the addition of the beautiful Robert Buckley OTH is just off this fall. I'm not sure what exactly it is, it's just uninteresting and ridiculous. Disappointment.

*Melrose Place - Here's how I know a bad show: I change the channel in the middle. Even shows I've never seen hold my interest for one episode just because I want to see what happened. Melrose though, I don't even care what happens.
