So tuesday was 90210 and Melrose Place and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with both. 90210 still had a lot of cheesiness to it, but I can tell they are trying tomake the show be able to stand on its own and not just rest on the laurels of being a remake of the original. Melrose Place was exactly what I expected it to be: trashy, fantastic, immediately filled with drama-laden beautiful people and not apologizing for any of it. Now this show may never win an emmy, but it seems like it is doing all the things the original was known and loved for and making it fit in our modern world. I look forward to seeing what else this show has in store...first off being whatever secret Ashlee Simpson's Violet is keeping.
Glee also premiered on Wed. night and I was really happy with what I saw. I read some majorly different opinions of the show now that it has returned, but I really enjoyed it. I was able to come into the show knowing what to expect this time which I think made me enjoy it a lot more than the premiere. I was ready for all the snappy, dark humor and of course loved all the musical numbers!
Very impressed with the Vampire Diaries, I was hooked within the first 20 minutes because well lets face it, Kevin Williamson (Exec producer/writer) knows how to write intriguing TV, especially about teens. Hello Dawson's Creek! I also have to give a shoutout to the actors playing stefan and jeremy (the younger brother) as they both are both Everwood alums which ranks extremely high in my book! Not sure if anyone else thought of this but the girl immediately infatuated with the mysterious guy and the beginning when she was writing in her journal reminded me a lot of Roswell. It's an old WB show with Katherine Heigl pre-grey's about aliens but they definitely have a similar vibe. I won't go into the Twilight references just yet because there will be time for that and believe me there were a lot of similarities but also some pretty major differences. Let's just try to watch with an open mind and judge the show on the content as opposed to how the town of Forks compares to the town of Mystic Falls.
So I wanted to try and keep these as short as possible since it is the first actual post about shows, but don't worry, I will get into the juicier plot detail stuff later on. Oh, and one last thing, Ellen on Idol, wow...I don't even watch the show but I know this is big and I am excited to see how it goes.
Until next time TV lovers...
