Desperate Housewives (So far...)

Desperate Housewives begins each new series with a new mystery- whether it's what are the neighbours keeping in their basement, who strangled Julie and whats up with the new plumber Mike.

This is the less interesting things for me. I just love watching about the lives of the women on Wisteria Lane.


Brees alcoholism, Susans failed marriage, Lynettes pregnancy issues, Gabrielles husband going blind ect. All of it makes you root for these women.

It's refreshing to see a show which is completly based on females, with the men describing themselves as dispensable.



These men, however, are three that have managed to last all the way through. And what makes the programme is their relationships with them, especially Tom and Lynettes family. Lynette had cancer and it was truly heartbreaking to hear Tom speech

Brothers and Sisters "A bone to pick" (Season 4 episode 11)

So last episode was Justin and Rebeccas wedding, which didn't quite happen because Kitty collapsed. This episode is based around the idea that Kittys chemotherapy isnt working and so she needs a bone marrow transplant. The only person out of all the siblings happens to be Ryan, the half brother, who just happens to be avoiding the Walkers because of his recent disruption of the winery which caused Rebeccas mother to lose all her money.

A little bit complicated, yes. As usual Rob Lowe was brilliant, revealing to Kevin that he is seeing a shrink to cope with everything. Thankfully the show skips 3 weeks later to reveal that not only is Kitty in remission but Robert also quit his race for governer and Ryan seems to have been intergrated into the Walker family.

The end.

Well, for now anyway.

Brothers & Sisters (So far...)

Similarly to Grey's, this show makes me cry all of the time. And it's usually because of Nora Walker.

The show depicts the lives of the Walker Family, with countless brothers and sisters and their mother. The show starts following William Walker, the fathers deatha and the realisation of his mistress.

The Main brothers and sisters are Kitty, Sarah, Justin, Tommy and Kevin.


Major plot lines include Justin going to Iraq, thinking Rebecca is their half sister but then realising that Ryan is and then Justin marrying Rebecca (phew!) Kitty and Robert, a senator, getting married as well as Kevin getting married to Scotty.


The beauty in the show comes at family dinners where somebody always ends up crying or getting slapped. They are disfunctional- they all spend way to much time involved in each others business and not enough in their own. It's emotional and sweet and what I hope my family is like when we're all older <3

The Mentalist (So far...)

The Mentalist follows Patrick Jane (the top left guy) who has like super brain powers. Well, not really. He's just really observant. Basically, he works with Lisbon and her team to solve murders. It's generally a bit more lighthearted than the normal cop show but what it does have is a deeper story.

Jane used to be a pretend pychic untill we annoyed the murderer "Red John" so much that he killed his wife and children. He knows it was him because he leaves this creepy face on the wall in blood.

A couple of episodes cope with the red john thing and the question about what exactly Jane will do once they catch him.

Highlights include Van pelts and Rigbys secret (yet not secret at all) relationship as well as the best opening scene of a Pilot EVER. Check it out-

Criminal Minds "The Uncanny Valley" (Season 5 Episode 12)

I espeically enjoy the episodes of Criminal Minds where the killer is a female. They are more interesting because their motives aren't usually sexually based. (See, real life knowledge right there!)

This episode was about women who turned up dead looking like life sized dolls. Turns out a women is keeping them and drugging them to paralze them and keep as dolls. The synopsis for this episode wrote "Hotchener struggles coming back to work" erm...I saw no struggle. Which I'm glad for- the show is starting to get back to the episodic way it does best.

Also, Reid kicked ass in this episode. I was just looking at him thinking his whole appearance has changed so much since the first season. No longer is he this genius geek who kind of helps (well, he is still a genius) but now he's one of the team. :)

Bones (So far....)

I began watching Bones initially because of this man;



Sure, it might of had alot to do with Buffy ending but I had missed him on my screen. and my, did he look good in a suit.

Based around Forensic scientist Brennan who helps to solve cases with FBI agent Booth, the show is based alot around the chemistry between the two.

The end of the last season saw an episode in which you discovered that Booth had a brain tumour and, during his coma, he thought that he and Brennan were married. Therefore this season has become more interesting because Booth believes he is in love the Brennan.

Highlights of the show include Mr. Twitter himself Stephen guest appearing as well as the rest of the cast who hold down the fort greatly.

HIMYM "Jenkins" (Season 5 episode 13)

So last week was HIMYM's 100th episode, so it was gonna be alot to top, having had Rachel Bilson guest starring as well as a peep into the apartment that The Mother lives in.

But this week was still a good episode. Based around Jenkins, a new woman who starts working with Marshall, played by Amanda Peet. Marshall is convinced that he is not the "reacher" in his relationship so he tried to make Lily jeolous. In other news, Ted discovers that Robin is a drinking game amongst his college students.

Highlights of the episode include "But um.." and Marshall being a ski ball champion in a college bar.

P.S BIG NEWS! Neil Patrick Harris is said to have been signed on to appear in Glee! Not only that, but he will also be reunited with Joss Whedon, as it's the episode he's going to direct <3 CAN'T WAIT!
