Friend Makin' Monday! ♥

It's FMMs over at {aefilkins}, who is expecting a new addition come May 2010! (you should run over there and congratulate her! Congratulations, Amber!!)


This week on FMMs we're discussing our FAV FAB FALL shows (that I am personally anxiously awaiting...I've already got my DVR set!)

So, Amber wants to know -

Since fall is {almost} in full swing, you know what that means!

Season premiere week is right around the corner!!

What are some of your favorite fall shows?

Fall is my FAV season for TV! All my shows premier sometime from September to October. I've got the DVR set and I'm preparing for less sleep. I usually have to watch the DVR'd version after Isaiah hits the hay. So, I'm usually up WAY past my bedtime, but it's oh-so-worth it! I love me some good TV.

Ugly Betty, who wouldn't love this show?! Betty is so real and human...and NOT perfect. I LOVE her! I secretly want her and Daniel to be together. I'm so sad that Daniel lost Molly and it seems that Betty can never catch a break. They would be so perfect together. Besides, she already loves taking care of him. It's so cute. Ahhhh. Amanda and Marc just top it off. They're so sneaky and snotty and just down-right nasty...and I LOVE them! October 9 @ 8/7c! I can't wait!

Grey's...what's to say? We all know and love this show, right? If you don't, then you SHOULD! It's the best. My question hanging from last season is will Izzy live or die? In my opinion, she has to live. How can you have Grey's and NOT have Izzy? I'm very very sad that George is making his exit. I cried a river on the season finale. I can't wait until the season premier...I've GOT to know what is going on at Seattle Grace!! September 24 9/8c!

PRIVATE PRACTICE! LOVE this show! I love Addison and her revolving love life. I really want SWAT guy back! He was hott! I'm anxiously awaiting to see what happens to Violet and her baby! I can't believe that these crazzzzy TV producers think it's ok to leave a person hanging for so many month...wondering if someone lives or dies...does the crazy lady take the baby...what happens to Violet? It's all too much really. I feel like writing them a piece of hate mail, but fortunately for them, the new season is about to begin! October 1 (my birthday! Happy Birthday to ME!) @ 10/9c!

Dancing with the Stars = hot guys with no shirts (like Maksim)!!! WOOT! I'm always appauled at some of the "stars" they get to come on this show...really? WHO ARE YOU??...and you're HOW OLD? Paahhhleeeaaassee! However, the few talented stars and the hot hot professionals make up for some of that. Plus, the old geezers always provide good entertainment...a chuckle here and there. I say bring back Cloris!

Hope everyone has a mah-velous Monday!♥

Television Observations

TV is my guilty pleasure. I have about 4 shows that I DVR and watch them faithfully. I know some people think that television is a waste of time, but I think it can also be educational and enlightening. Take a look at this list I've compiled of some observations I've made...

1. Thanks to Cloris Leachman on DWTS, I've learned that when you are old, you do not have to behave...and you can say whatever you want to...and spank people's butts...and bribe people...and no one can do anything about it. Btw, did you see Monday's DWTS...Cloris Leachman's samba....Oh my goodness, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Watch this clip of the hip-hop group dance.



2. Children go from being babies to 4 year olds in a matter of months. I don't religiously watch Desperate Housewives, but I tuned in last Sunday and noticed that the baby that Susan and Mike conceived last season is in preschool...What the??

3. There is a lot to learn about love... If you don't believe me, then just watch Grey's Anatomy. Grey's with McDreamy, McDreamy's with Addison, Addison's with McSteamy, McSteamy's was with Lexie, Lexie Loves George, George was married to Callie, Izzy loved George, George cheated on Callie with Izzy, Callie like Erica, Izzy has an ongoing thing for Alex, Alex loves lots of women...see, loves a tricky thing...much to be learned.

4. You can pick up on new vocabulary. I daily work in new words such as "seriously", used in a way that means "REALLY" or "what did you say?" or "you're kidding me" or "COME ON" or "you've GOT to be kidding me"...yes, all these phrases can be wrapped up neatly into one little box by saying "SERIOUSLY"!!! You can actually have a total conversation with the one word...seriously. For example: "I seriously need a grande mocha w/ skim milk, no whip, and 2 pumps! Seriously? Seriously!" Also there is "shut up" used without a negative connotation, mainly for instances of surprise or shock. Kinda like "get out of here" or "no way"...shut up!

5. After watching a few episodes of Ugly Betty, you realize that high school never ends it just turns into your work place and there are still cliques and groups...cool people and not so cool people. It's ugly.

Any wisdoms you've learned from television you would like to share?
