TV Talk

So let’s talk TV now that most shows are done for the season.

Season/Series Finales

How I Met Your Mother
Nobody should be surprised by Ted and Robin’s breakup considering that she’s referred to as Aunt Robin when future Ted is telling his children how he met their mother. I personally never understood what Ted saw in Robin other than her looks. Barney, as always, steals the show. Next season is going to be Legend.. wait for it…

King of Queens
Could this have ended any worse? It was terrible! It’s like they fast-forwarded everything just to get some type of closure for each character. It felt so forced. I could never picture Doug and Carrie with kids and to slap them with two on the last episode, one adopted and one biological, is just nuts. How cheesy can you get? “Oh, let’s adopt” … “Oh no! After all this time suddenly I’m pregnant the day we adopted our Chinese baby”. Lame! The entire season was just awful, so I’m not as sad to see this show go as I thought I would be. I guess that’s a blessing in disguise, huh?

My Name Is Earl
I was a little confused with this ending, but I guess they could just pick up next season two years into the future after Earl has gotten out of prison. It was a good episode, though. I especially liked when Joy was trying to sign to her lawyer that Earl wanted to do her!

The Office
As much as I really didn’t want to see it, I admit I was pleasantly surprised that Jim and Pam might be getting together after all. I certainly wasn’t expecting that, nor did I consider that someone else from the office would get Jan’s job. The best part was at the end when Kelly asks Ryan “who was that?” and he says “no one”, then pauses, keeps looking off to the distance with his back to Kelly and says, “we’re done”. Awesome! I just don’t know what Michael is going to do now that he’s back with Jan and she’s jobless. Plus he’s going to get negative feedback on E-bay for retracting the sale of his condo, LOL!


Scrubs
JD and Elliot? No no no! They never worked out. Remember when he fought so hard to get her away from her Seaworld boyfriend just to realize he didn’t want her after all? Not that Keith is right for Elliot either. He isn’t her best friend; he’s her servant and sex slave. That’s not a proper relationship! She shouldn’t get married, nor should she hook up with JD. I don’t even know what to say about JD. Truthfully, I think this year is the one where this series, to coin an overused phrase, jumped the shark. Like someone already pointed out, it used to be that the over-the-top things they showed were just JD’s imagination, but now they expect us to believe all the crazy shit. It’s lost it’s appeal and while I’ll watch their last season next year, I doubt I’ll enjoy it as much as the re-runs in syndication.

Returning

My Boys is coming back July 30th with 9 new episodes total.

Unfortunately, Dexter won’t be back until October.

Bye-Bye

It turns out that one of my more favorite shows, The Class, has been cancelled. We’ll never seen if Nicole and Duncan hook up, or be privy to Richie and Lena’s wedding, and that sucks.

Definitely an odd-ball show, it’s no surprise The Winner was cancelled. I kinda liked it but am not crying over this, nor the cancellation of The War At Home, since it was getting old anyway.
