Don't Flip Out

The Don't Flip Out Award of the week goes to . . . drumroll please . . . Scrubs. The halarity that is Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke gets us every time. Each episode is infused with fresh writing that cleverly makes us laugh and at the same time causes us to think about serious situations. After the monsterous success of Zach Braff's brilliant Garden State we hope that audiences and critics won't flip out on Scrubs.

Veronica Mars

First of all let's just say we started the show because we knew that Alyson Hannigan was going to be on. Okay, okay so we like. However, don't deceive us with ads that appear to have Miss Hannigan being a much larger part of the show than she actually was. We're watching, we like it but don't fool us! Don't mess with our emotions. It took 35 minutes for her first appearance that lasted less than five minutes. Then it was another 20 minutes before she showed up for a whopping minute and a half, if that. Needless to say these Tele Galz were angry.

A side note about Alyson Hannigan. This girl is amazing. She needs her own show. They obviously knew what they had because they advertised the hell out of her being on the show and she pulled in viewers. The least they could have done and could do is give her more camera time. Viewers are definitely missing Miss Hannigan. The talented actress can play the bitchiness of Trina Echolls, on Veronica Mars, or the mousy ways of Willow, on BtVS, and everything in between. Why not reward such gifts with a little bit of air time please!

Another aside. Overall the show was fantastic. It does keep getting better and if people tuned in last night to see Miss Hannigan there’s a strong possibility that viewers would tune in again. We sure hope so.

Desperate Housewives

How many disappointments is Susan going to have? First she has no luck with men. Second, she can barely stand on her own two feet without tripping, stumbling or falling through the floor. Third, her daughter is a little too comfortable being the grown-up in their relationship. This poor girl's life is a mess and it makes for some fun TV. It seems like she's never going to get a break.
Poor Bree, queen of denial. She believes that because she talked to John the gardener that Danielle isn’t going to cash in her V-Card, that girl is going to give it up to the next boy who says “hey”. And that son of hers! He’s just plain trouble. Making out with boys in the neighbor’s pool, smoking pot in his bedroom, and what an attitude. She should’ve taken him over her knee a long time ago. And that brings us to her husband Rex. Who’s not making her life any easier. He’s not a help with the kids, he never disciplines them and appears to just want to be waited on. He needs a good slap in the face . . . but he’d enjoy that too much.
Looks like we’re going to have to wait to see what happens next, Oscars are on next week and who know how long it’s going to take for them to air a new episode. ABC, once they realized the huge hit they had on their hands, needed to rearrange their schedule to keep fresh episodes coming.

Lost

Okay, these two Tele Galz are torn. One of us likes Sawyer and the other doesn't. One of us really enjoyed last night's episode of Lost and the other didn't. And was it us, or did those mini-bottles of liquor last a really long time? It was a really cliched way to get a lot of information out in a small amount of time. And boy does Kate have a crush on him! It's somewhat obvious that Sawyer may turn out to be one of the good guys, but until then, it's hard to know what J.J. Abrams is going to do with him. We'll have to wait and see. If you missed this episode, you missed a lot of information. Next week should be fun. Only four people can fit on the raft. Who's it gonna be?

Jack and Bobby

Why do we love Jack and Bobby and shows about storms? (and shows with Bradley Cooper) We'll tell ya why. It's because all of the good stuff happens when the roads close, the power goes out, and the phone lines are down and communication is reduced to only the people in the same room. Is it us, or is the show getting better and better with each new episode? Jack has calmed down a lot, which is greatly due to his injury, or perhaps it was the shotgun of pot smoke courtesy of Katie. Anyway, there seems to be more character development in a more mature direction. For once, Bobby got to be one of the cool kids. Unfortunately, it was because of promised porn, and then because of a promised beer. Oh well, how ever it happened, thank God it did. He needs a break (and a new hair do). Did we mention how Courtney was getting action from every angle? For a future First Lady, she sure knows her way around. For those of you who were unclear, it is the president who has the affair.
