Private Practice death

On tonight's Private Practice season finale, one of the show's main characters dies. Cast members are saying to prepare yourself and have tissues on hand while watching, so I'm expecting a great episode. And if last year's season finale is any indication, we already know PP knows how to go out with a bang. Who do you think will die? Who would you miss the most? Leave it here.

SYTYCD judge shake up

When So You Think You Can Dance's summer season starts May 27, there will not only be changes to the show's format, but the judge panel will have a new resident. Handing out criticism alongside Adam Shankman and Nigel Lythgoe will be Mia Michaels, which means there will be no Mary Murphy. Here's my thoughts on this change: While Mary's screaming and odd sayings were at times over the top, her presence was always felt. She has been there from the start and was always constructive. As for Mia, she is an AMAZING choreographer. Having her be a judge means we will not get the chance to watch her dances be performed, which, to me, is a loss. I'm not sure I like this idea, but I guess we'll have to see how it works out.

Serena needs to grow up

I really only have one thing I need to say in regards to the last few episodes of Gossip Girl: Isn't Serena much too old to be wishing mommy and daddy would stop fighting and end up back together? At some point kids realize their mom and dad don't belong together, accept that they are divorced and grow up. Yet in the last few episodes we see that Serena is still living in Neverland and holding on to that childish dream. She even goes as far as to sabotage Rufus. I just hope we have seen the last of William for a while so that Rufus and Lily can work on their marriage without any trouble from nosy teenagers.

The reason I'm still watching Parenthood

While I have heard from numerous people that they dislike the NBC show Parenthood, I am still watching, and enjoying. It may not be the best show on television and it may not always be original, but the characters are so easy to love. And the foremost reason why I can't stop watching is that I love how the characters say and react in ways you'd expect your best friend to. There was a scene a few weeks ago where Julia thought her daughter may have autism so she went to Kristina for advice. Later in the episode, while talking to Adam, Kristina opened up and said she almost wanted Sydney to have autism because then the two families would have something in common and they could sympathize with one another. Throughout the scene, as the viewer, you couldn't help but think how you would react in the same scenario. While it is awful to want another child to be diagnosed as autistic, you can see where Kristina is coming from and the fact that they wrote that scene to show this side of her makes this show special. Yes, they tackle issues every family drama does, but sometimes the dialogue is so unexpectedly original and true to life that it is refreshing. For me, watching the show is worth it for these special moments no matter how few and far between they may seem.

Apology

It has been almost a month since I last wrote on this blog and I am truly sorry. For a while there I lost all motivation to continue writing, but I am going to try to get back in the habit. Please forgive me.
