Wow, She lived.
Never saw that coming.
If you're not in to it then let me drop you some knowledge.
Gray's anatomy, Meridith Gray fell into the water last week and it's cold and she swam for a little bit, but drowned and hypothermia-ed herself into the ER instead of helping victims of a ferry crash. Then she spent a lot of time in some sort of middle afterlife haunting the hospital where she both works and is lying dead on a table. she met up with a bunch of folks who died in the hospital and kicked it with them for a bit, then she ran into her mom who also died at the same time and that gave her the will to live.
I knew the writing staff would be a bunch of pussies and not kill her off. What did you think? What else do you think about last night's episode?
Also Earl, Office, Scrubs, 30 Rock and many many other shows came on last night.
What'd you watch, what can you tell us about that, and how did it make you feel?

I don't watch Grey's. Instead, I was enjoying the series finale of its time-slot rival, The O.C. Farewell to the Cohens, Ryan Atwood (aka "Kid Chino"), Summer Roberts (Cohen! Yay!), and my faves, those wacky Cooper women, Julie and Kaitlyn (I'd rather let Marissa RIP). Absolute best part of the night? Julie Cooper Nichol almost Cooper almost Roberts almost Atwood almost Bullit deciding "I choose me." Kelly Taylor would be so proud.
GA = predictable
I watched Grey's last night also - it was actually the only tv I caught (besides the last 10 minutes of b-ball - and phew) b/c I was visiting my friend & her not-so-new-anymore baby. At like 2 minutes to 9 she suddenly interupted me like "Do you watch Grey's Anatomy?" & her husband goes "Translation: I'm watching Grey's. You're welcome to move down to the tv room with me."
What did I think about it . . . well, I'm not surprised that they let her live. I mean, her name is in the title. I am also afraid that my joke about Addison & Mark leaving & opening a birth/plastics clinic is coming true. Like wait, so all that Karev-lusting was just a tease?!? Maybe they'll take Karev with him & he'll work both sides of the clinic.
And a big 'go Derek!' for telling her mom off. Even though she probably had no idea who or what he was talking about. Ah, that's the best time to tell someone off. When they can't refute a damn thing you say. Hey, anyone think Meredith will get therapy for giving up & semi-committing suicide??
I assumed they were going to kill her big grey off, which is fine with me...she was kind of a wasted story line. So who else thinks that the amnesia prego chick is going to be a total hottie once her face isn't one huge bruise. And of course Karev falls in love with her and the baby...then in the midst of their fairytale 'he saved me romance' her real husband comes back to claim her?
And then Izzie comes in all "Karev, you made a mistake! You totally shouldn't have married her. Did I mention you fucked up? Oh, and by the way - give me an M! Give me an I! Give me an s! Give me a T! Give me an A! Give me a K! Give me an E! What does it spell? MISTAKE!! Hey, why are you mad at me?"
I didn't get home until 11 or so, so I sat down for a teary-eyed farewell to my friends in the OC. MY favorite moment was when Summer was telling Taylor that The Valley was picked up for five more seasons, and, "Don't you just hate it when they let those teen dramas drag on and on and on?" I do love the self-referential fun. I feel as though my TV family has moved away and left no forwarding contact info. Very, very sad.
I was then wide awake, so I watched Grey's and was disappointed that she lived. I might not be hooked after all.
Hey, did you all hear that Taye Diggs is signed on for that Dr. Shepard spin-off? Yay, Taye!
HT - don't fret...I'm their fwd. address will be something like TBS.
I watched the kids get kicked off of Idol. I really wanted that Sundance kid to get bumped off. I felt bad for the Asian guy. I also thought they picked the wrong two girls to be kicked off. They were both in the bottom group for sure, but the cute one from jersey should have been shot.
Earl was great, as was The Office (I can't wait to see Dwight/Rainn Wilson host SNL).
Haven't watched Studio 60 yet.
I watched the last 10 minutes of Gray's and it went down exactly as I thought, even though I don't really watch the show.
The original Running Scared was on again last night so I watched a bit of that ("Habla Smith & Wesson?"). I noticed for the first time that Danny (Gregory Hines) effortlessly uses a karate kick at one point that only a world class dancer or martial artist could do. Rest in Peace Josephus.
Good riddance OC, you had me for about 8 epsiodes after the spiderman kiss, and you failed to keep me.
The original Running Scared? There was a remake?
I forgot about American Idol. So the Jersey girl made it through? Huh. I don't know when I'll be able to catch up on all this stuff b/c I'm flying to NYC tonight & won't be back until Monday late. (Pray for me - I'm on the Delta Shuttle which had an on-time rate of 0% last year - that's right. Not a single flight on time.)
HT--Beginning in April, they will be re-running the OC from the beginning on SoapNet. Maybe they'll even do 90210 and OC back-to-back for ease of comparison?
There was another movie starring Paul Walker (Fast & the Furious) called Running Scared that came out a year or so ago.
That is terrific news, GG!! I'll need to set my DVR to watch it all from the beginning. It never seemed like they aged much in 4 years, but in the closing montage when we saw young Ryan, he looked like he might have actually been in high school (even though I know he wasn't) at the time.
Speaking of 90210, Steve Sanders is going to be on the next installment of dancing with the stars, which I will only be watching b/c of Peg Leg Mills McCartney. It'd be sweet if they whittled her a special leg, on which her partner could just spin her around (right round, like a record, baby).
I'll never forgive that one legged whore for breaking up Wings!
Oh wait.
Huh, I just imdbed 'Running Scared' & there is that new one you mention Jo (listed first! Whatever - the Billy-Gregory version is clearly the best!) as well as a 1980 one starring Judge Reinhold & Ken Wahl, a 1972 starring a bunch of nobodies, and a 1985 starring one 'Len Watt' . . . and nobody else. None of these other version even have a description, so I imagine they did not win any Oscars.
Dude, that would be the one-breasted whore who broke up Wings.
HT--The mental vision of Peg Leg spinning around on one specially-whittled leg like one of those ballerinas in a jewelry box will keep me smiling all day!
And, yeah baby Ryan (and baby Marissa) did look crazy young.
In reverse order, Last night I saw, with the aid of Lil' Miss' DVR:
Colbert
Daily
Silverman
Earl
Grays
Office
They were all good.
I really liked the Sarah Silverman show. Every time she shows up on the TV, The Leutentant declares how he just wants to bone her. i think she's cute, which I guess is her thing. Because she uses that and then the things that come out of her mouth are so vulgar that they make a sailor blush and a prostitute vomit in horror. Take for example her Don't Quit Motivational speech Paraphrasing, since quotes from last night's show haven't come up yet:
I remember when I was pregnant and all the people I knew were telling me to quit and give up. But I was strong and I got that abortion. Now my life is great.
It is so sad that her show is on at the same time as Men in Trees, well the last half hour anywise. I may have to give up on that show in favor of Sarah. But I figure she'll get canceled sooner or later, then I can go back to Alaska with all my gay friends and watch the little dramas unfold. Wasn't it sad that that show wasn't on last night? how many of you stayed tuned for the Oprah, Let's-get-oscar-winners-to-blah-blah-blah-about-stupid-shit special?
Oprah is a genius. She has gotten to the point where she can get famous people like Julia Roberts & Russell Crowe do her work for her & she still gets all the credit. Don't get me wrong, her over-saturation bugs, but you got to hand it to her. Sigh . . . I dream of being management.
Sarah Silverman is funny. Helio, I was so scared you mean that new Jonathan Silverman sitcom 'In Case of Emergency' or whatever it's called. Holy fuck, that's some good motivation there. I need to remember to dvr that!! Argh!
Sarah Silverman would take Anne Heche's skinny little ass and kick it down the block & back before she had a chance to open her whiny little mouth.
Uh, and I meant dvr Sarah Silverman, not Jonathan.
