CW On The Ropes?

So I was reading something just a minute ago that was talking about the ratings for the new 90210 and it said that the rumor going around is that the CW may be on the ropes.

First, I must admit that I'm not surprised by it. Since the CW took over UPN and WB, so many great shows have gone off. Not just Gilmore Girls (you had to know I would bring it up), but Veronica Mars, Reba, they made One Tree Hill a midseason once. And that's just to name a few. I honestly have to say I'm not surprised. I don't really watch anything on the CW anymore.

At the same time, however, I do still watch One Tree Hill. And if something happens to the CW, I'm kinda nervous about what would happen if the CW shut down and One Tree Hill took the brunt of it. That show has gotten better with time, if you ask me, and it deserves to run the time it needs. I think fans would be disappointed if something happens. It would be Gilmore Girls all over for me again, only not quite so dramatic. (Seriously, I think we deserved to have Luke and Lorelai back together for a bit, not just a two second kiss. That really upset me.)

Anyways, I just wanted to put that out there. I don't really care what happens to the CW, since I have a firm belief (no matter what is said about contract issues) that Amy Palladino would have stayed, and Lauren and Alexis by extension, if they had stayed on the WB. They knew that GG was one of their top rated shows and gave them the courtesy they deserved. But I DO care about what happens to One Tree Hill. I think the actors and fans deserve a good sendoff when it does come time for it to end, not because their network is shut down for low ratings.

Oh Momma Mia oh My!

First, let me start off by saying that I am a girly girl. I have no issue admitting the fact. I love romantic comedies and I love getting dressed up just for a night on the town.

Now, that being said, I have to gush about Momma Mia! I went to see it with my sister (we had grown up listening to ABBA with our mother) and both of us immediately fell in love. Within the first five minutes, she and I were looknig at each other saying "we have to get this as soon as it comes out!"

I did not know that Amanda Seyfried could sing that well! I was completely amazed. And Meryl Streep is an incredible actress anyways, and I loved her character. Plus, I LOVE listening to ABBA songs, so all in all there wasn't anything wrong with this film for me. It had humor (lots), tons of singing (I'm a big musicals person) and romance. What more could a girly girl ask for??

Okay, there is my gush. Momma Mia completely made my weekend. I hope everyone walks out of that theater feeling as happy as I did.

Completely in awe

So I don't know how many of you have watched it, but "Army Wives" is probably one of the best shows on television at the moment.

My uncle and aunt are both soldiers, and though I only see them occasionally, I know how hard it is for their son to watch them deploy and not know when or if they are coming home.

Through "Army Wives" we follow four women and one man-Claudia Joy, Denise, Pamela, Roxy, and Roland-as they support their spouses in the Army. I have been watching the first season on DVD and though I have watched them all now, the episode that really got to me is the third one, The Art of Separation. It really shows how these women and men truly support each other when they feel alone. They are all bonded by having someone they love gone, and though vastly different, all of them lean on the others for support during times of trouble. When problems arise, you see how each of them take it personally, even if it doesn't directly affect their lives or their children's lives, but affects the life of a friend.

It's a great show, and I hope more people start to watch it. One, because I want ratings to be good enough so the series continues for a long long time. But more importantly, because this show brings forth a new sense of pride and understanding from me, and i'm sure other people. We all see the soldiers who defend this country and we support them to the best of our abilities. But we don't quite see that their families are also fighting the war; and are fighting just as hard a battle. Keep our troops, and their families, in your thoughts. And watch "Army Wives".

Sorry about the rant. I tend to run a little passionate about things lol.

How much longer??

I can honestly say I never really had a problem with school. It was always okay. I could handle it. In fact, if i do say so myself, I was rather good at it.

College, however, is a totally different. If anyone else is going what I am going through, all I can say is good luck. For those who aren't there yet; enjoy high school while you can. I took it for granted and I actually miss it. Don't get me wrong, college is fun. But it's so freaking hard. lol.

So I am torn...do I watch Grey's Anatomy on Thursday...or Supernatural? I honestly can't decide. Hopefully I can make up my mind before Thrusday.

I'm seriously missing my Gilmore Girls. Especially now, since it's my 'go to show' when I just need a laugh. Thank goodness I have the DVDs...I would never make it. I hate Tuesday nights now though, because it reminds me that GG is on anymore, and it saddens me. I'm totally getting a friend of mine hooked on it, though, and she's borrowing all my DVDs to watch them. To bad it's over....

Well, that's it for this post. Hope everyone is having a good week.

New Deal!

I'm still reeling about Lauren Graham's new deal with NBC!...let me rephase that; I'm still reeling with excitment about Lauren Graham's new deal with NBC! I knew she wouldn't go long without getting some notice (even though the freaking Emmys never noticed her) but still. It's kinda like Sookie said in the Gilmore Girls finale "I knew she wouldn't last a whole summer but it happened so lighting fast". But I think it's very good news.Graham is an amazing actress, whether it be TV or movies. It's nice to know she has another project in the works.

That being said...I wonder if that will maybe throw off the Gilmore movie. Not that it was a definite or anything, but still...it was nice to hear that it might be done. I think fans are really pushing for it ( at least I am), and I would still love to see that happen. I just don't know if Graham working for NBC will create a challenge for those who hope to make the GG movie.

Congratulations Lauren Graham!

There Was! There Was A Moment...

yes, I stole a line from Gilmore Girls as the topic for this entry, but it seemed appropriate considering there was a moment. That moment was last friday when i moved into my college dorm. That brief moment when I wondered what laid ahead of me, and if i could do it. "College is complete different from high school"-that's what kids here growing up all the time. I always knew it would be different, but just how different? That's what I thought about during that moment. There was a moment. A moment where you feel happy, sad, panic, awe, and just plain fear and joy because this whole new world is open for you. It's right there and you have it. You can take it and run or you can go the other way, but either way the decision is yours. There isn't anyone standing there telling you want to do anymore. It's a very...intersting feeling. At least until the next morning comes and you have to deal with everything that college entails. Going tosit in a stuffy room and listen to a professor drone on and on....and dealing with roommates and loud people down the hall; not to mention communial bathrooms and testy girls. All of that hits you immediately, and there isn't anyone there to help you. Yes, there is a moment. A moment when you want to scream and cry and you beg for someone to take you home, yet you don't. Unlike Luke, who seizes that opportunity to kiss Lorelai right after that line, we have to deal with it. That moment offrustration and angercomes and goes. And slowly, you find solid ground. It's hard, but it is possible. I say this to anyone who feels remotely like I do at the moment; a little overwhelmed, but thrilled at the prospect of finally stepping out into the world. College is ours for the taking; let's be like Luke and jump; just stand still, take a deep breath, and jump.

There's my little rant. Hope everything is doing well; good luck with whatever form of schooling you have. If you aren't in school....your lucky lol.

Can't Believe It's Over....

I am not sure if I am talking about summer being almost over (I start school in a couple of weeks) or the fact that Gilmore Girls is over. I try not to think about it, 'cause it really does suck that the show is over...but now that school is starting back, I find myself anxiously waiting for it to come back on and I have to remind myself "wait a second...Gilmore Girls is over. It's not coming back on." I know I sound crazy, and maybe I am...but it still sucks. Guess I'll stick with my DVDs. I am ready for season 7 to come out on DVD. Just so I can have all of them lol. I just finished watching the episode "Forgiveness and Stuff" where Richard is the in the hospital the first time. I love when Lorelai cries on Luke and he gives his little speech about hankerchiefs. it's so sweet.

I hope One Tree Hill does great this coming season. I know it's only a midseason, but if it's anything like the last season, it's going to be incredible (in my opinion). We just have to keep the faith.

Well, I should run. Hope everyone has a good rest of the week.

Another Summer Gone...

I can't believe summer is almost over; it wasn't near long enough. I just got back from vacation, and I'm about to start getting ready for my first year of college!!!!

I really don't have anything to talk about; haven't been watching too many television shows this summer. I've mostly been sticking with the DVDs of "Gilmore Girls" and "One Tree Hill" (without them I would die, especially my GG ones because....well, because of obvious reasons...).

Got the new Harry Potter book; started it the morning of my plane ride and finished it before i got home that night. It was really good; hope everyone who reads it enjoys it.

Well, that's pretty much all i've got to say. Hope everyone had a good summer (although it was incredibly short IMO) and i'll write again soon.

Been A While....

I can't believe how long it's been since I've written!!! Between school ending and going to the beach and working and pretty much living my life I haven't had much time but I really feel like I'm way behind...lol.

I can't believe they fired Issiah Washington from "Grey's Anatomy"!! I don't agree with what he said personally, but I don't think he should be fired for it. There is this nice little thing here in America called freedom of speech. It might have been a stupid mistake, but...I just don't think he should have been fired. Others might disagree with me, in fact several people I know disagree with me, but that's just my opinion.

I really hope they make that "Gilmore Girls" movie. It would be so awesome if Amy did it; she IS Gilmore Girls after all. It would answer so many questions that were left open at the series finale, and we would finally get those words!!! I swear they are driving me crazy. OMG, i went to look at the Spoilerfix.com site so I could pull The Ausiello, or however you spell his name, Report up because I always read it Wednesday afternoons, and I saw they had taken "Gilmore Girls" off the spoiler section. That's when it really hit me that Gilmore Girls is over...It just sort of felt like it always did at summertime-a few months of waiting and it would be back on. When I saw that though, I realized it really is gone. I'm going to throw myself into denial so I won't have to deal with it lol. It seemed to be working well for me to begin with.

The "One Tree Hill" season finale was great!!! I really loved all the Naley stuff, though I'm betting since they were happy at the end of this season, Mark will decide to give them another rough patch to have to work through....that's going to drive me crazy. I can't believe we have to wait until January for a new episode. Of all shows, One Tree Hill should be a full season-September through May-not just a midseason. I know they will still have all the episodes. The only good thing is no breaks.

OK now that I have given my little rant on all the shows I watch, I should probably run. I am going to post a quote from "Gilmore Girls"...it's one of my favoite episodes-where Rory cries to Dean (that's not my favorite part because I don't like Dean, I'm a Jess fan lol) and Lorelai cries to Luke (it just really put Luke and Lorelai on 'their path' of that makes sense. It's when I really felt like we were actually going to get a relationship for them for the first time. :D )

Lorelai: You know there are very few times in my life when I find myself sitting around thinking "I wish I was married"but today. I'm happy you know? Ilike my life, I like my friends I like my stuff. My time, my space, my tv.... Butevery now and then, just for a moment I wish I had a partner, someone to pick up the slack, someone to wait for the cable guy, makeME coffee in the morning. Meet the stupid sink before it get's shipped back toCanada... I just thought I had everything under control, but I didn't and the inn is justfalling apart. This has been my dream forever and I have it and it's here and I'm failing and I can't handle it. I just spend every minute running around and working and thinking and I thought I would have help but Sookie has Davey and Michel has Celine and I'm, I can't do it all by myself! And I don't even have time to see my kid anymore, and hell forget see her, just even talk to her I miss her. And I sat there in my parents' house just listeningto my grandma basically call me a charity case and I couldn't even argue withher, I couldn't even say anything, because I am, I am running out of money! And I was going to ask you for $30,000 at dinner tonight, that's how pathetic I am!

I love that episode!! Have a good rest of the week!!!!

Well...The Beginning of the End

Well, we might as well start saying goodbye to the CW now; no Gilmore Girls, no Veronica Mars, and OTH as a midseason?!?! That channel is slowly going down the tube. I am really disappointed with what they've chosen too; I don't know why, but I like stability, and them changing everything THIS year is really messing with me since everything else in my life is changing-what with graduating and with going to be an aunt and all. I don't know how much more of this i can take!!!!! nah, I'm just kidding. I really don't like it though; I already miss my Gilmore Girls. It's different knowing it's definitely not coming back on. It really is the end.

I really can't believe they cancelled Veronica Mars. I think I'm more upset about that than Gilmore Girls. At least Gilmore Girls had a good run; they didn't even give VM a chance-that's just not right. It was a great show; guess those people don't know good television when they see it.

and what about OTH being a midseason?!?!?!?! That makes me sooo mad. This season has been awesome, IMO, and I'm sure several others agree with me. I think they really need to give us something, rather that just kicking us while we're down-which to me is what they are doing. It's one thing to cancel shows, but to take everything?? Now, I'm not trying to say that what they've got won't be good, but The CW was supposed to join TWO networks and make one. Instead, they are getting rid of the big shows from those two networks and making something completely different. Why not just keep the channels separate and start a different channel or something if this is what they intended????

Sorry for the rant-I'm really not happy. This sucks.
