Pushing Daisies

The final episode. Sigh... why did they have to cancel it.

So the last episode, they are celebrating Chuck's one year death anniversary. So Ned, Chick, Olive and Emerson go to the Aquadome.. or something. And guess what, Lily and Vivian are there too. While watching Lily and Vivian's rivals perform, a sharks eats one of the girls. It's totally fake but still... I was a little shocked.

The manager asks the Darling Mermaid Darlings (Lily and Vivian) to come out of retirement and perform with them. Also to travel with them to Europe. Once Chuck finds out she's not happy because then she won't be able to see aunts. Ned talks with Chuck and together they decided to tell the Aunt's the truth. The last minutes we see:

Lily ( I think.. the one without the eye patch) learns that Vivian slept with her fiancé and had Chuck. Ned and Chuck knock on their door leaving the aunts speechless.

Olive opens a restaurant dedicated to Mac and Cheese. She is also dating Randy. Penny, Ermerson's daughter, knocks on his door. With the popup book he wrote she found him.

There is also an awesome scene where the camera goes around the town, showing all the places the gang has been solving the murders.

And that my friends is that.

Burn Notice



Yay! Burn notice has started up again. The people who have burned Michael ask him to work for them. Michael says no can do. Fine upper management says, but you get no more protection from us. Turns out upper management has been keeping Michael's enemys at bay. Not so much anymore since Michael said no to their job offer. Yikes.

Then we have Fi. For his birthday, she gives him a bayonet. she tells him that someone told her that loving Michael was like doing battle in the trenches. So the bayonet is to arm himself. Wow. Go Fi.

While trying to dodge the cops, former enemies and trying to get back in upper management's good graces, he's also helping people out. Oh.. and there is a detective sniffing around. she's noticed that since Michael has been home there have been a few more explosions and what not going on. Nice.

Army Wives

I told myself I wouldn't watch anymore. But I did.

CJ, Michael and Emmaline- Emmaline was running away to get married to Logan. Trevor stopped them though. He told Logan how much deep doo doo Logan would be in for marrying the general's 16 year old daughter. He was be committing career suicide. So out the door Logan runs. Awww. CJ and Michael decide that CJ should stay behind with Emmaline. Michael will head over to Brussels. So now CJ needs to find a place to stay and is finding difficult.

The night Michael leaves, Denise shows up on CJ's door. CJ is in no mood to talk with Denise and shuts the door in her face. (I'll explain soon)

Roxy and Trevor- Roxy is just dealing with the bar. First she figures out Betty's "nephew" is really a con artist trying to get some fast cash. Then the IRS comes a calling asking for back taxes. Then a woman tells Roxy her bar sucks. That she should make the bar reflect what Roxy likes. Not what everyone likes. I see a remodeled bar coming.

Pam and Chase- Nothing much yet.

Roland and damn... forgot his wife's name. Joan!- Roland is feeling like he hasn't accomplished much when he finds some news about classmate in his alumni newsletter. He tells Pam that he's not some lovesick girl who fell in love with a soldier. "Hey neither was I! I had a career too," Pam tells him.

And Joan will still be deployed.

Denise and Frank- Denise does the nasty with mac. The hospital finds out and fires her. Cause in her contract it's written no such behavior is allowed. The person doing the firing says, "I served with your husband. What you did is deplorable." Ha ha Denise. You skank.

Then Mac tells her that he's going back to his ex girlfriend to work things out. HA HA Denise. I admit I laughed while Denise was crying. No one to blame but yourself. That's when Denise goes to CJ's house.

Or course everyone finds out about Denise's affair and they are avoiding her like the plague. Roxy, Pam, CJ, and Roland are not sure how to approach Denise. So Roland tries to feel Denise out. Which Denise is annoyed with. Don't blame her there. Yeah I understand they are disappointed with Denise but they are still her friends.

Frank ended up not sleeping with girl over in Iraq. He told her no, he's still married. I love you Frank. Franks learns about Denise's affair. He goes on this dangerous mission and there is trouble. Denise hears about it and is trying to find out what happened and if Frank is safe. Yes, we later learn he is safe.

So there is your Army Wives update.

Did anyone watch Hawthorne? I have it recorded but haven't watch it yet. Is it any good?

Sarah Connor, Burn Notice, Life On Mars

Sarah Connor





I'm upset. We were gonna watch this last night and our recording was crappy. For some reason Sarah Connor records all skippy. Everything else is fine. This happening to anyone else?

I went on It Happened Last Night, they said Riley finally gets killed. Hate to say it but about time. Ok, I know that sounds wrong but I didn't like Riley. Turns out it was Jesse who killed Riley. Jesse meant for Cameron to kill Riley so John would turn his back on Cameron. From what I read Jesse is going to try and frame Cameron.

Looks like I missed a good one.

Burn Notice




Wow. The season two finale was great.

Michael has Victor all tied up. Turns out Victor was in the CIA. He was burned, his wife and child were killed and then Carla recruited him for whatever it is they are working for. But Victor found out Carla had his family killed so she could recruit him. That's jacked up. So now Victor is out to get Carla. Or expose her. Michael offers to help.

Carla and gang find out Victor has been missing and track him to where Michael has him stashed. So now they have all these people after them. A few car chases later, they make it to Victor's boat with evidence about Carla. Victor is shot. Carla calls Michael and demands he either kill Victor or she kills them both. Just when she's about kill them, Fi shoots Carla dead. Which yeah! As Fi said, "Finally."

Victor tells Michael to just kill him. Cause if the company gets a hold of Victor, he's dead anyways. That scene was too sad. I started to like Victor.

Michael boards a helicopter with the boss. Boss tries to recruit Michael. Not having it. Fine then boss says. Then all the enemies we've been holding at bay are gonna come at you. No more protection. Michael says he'll take his chances. He jumps out of the copter into the ocean and begins his swim back.

I can't wait for next season. I loved when Fi kissed and then slapped Michael.

Life On Mars




I liked last night's episode!!!!! With Sam going around saying he's Tom Cruise and about "risky business". Ha ha ha.

The gang finds a dead body of a stewardess named Valerie. She looks an awful lot like Annie. So Annie decides go undercover as Valerie to find out who killed the real Valerie.

At first they think it's a passenger on one of Valerie's flights. No, he just likes collecting the stewardess's panties. So he's out. Sam has a hunch it's the captain of the plane who likes to flirt with all the stewardess despite being married and his wife being right there.

Annie flirts with him, telling him all the things she wants to do with him with ice cream. Chris wanting some ice cream afterwards (they guys planted a bug on annie so they can listen) was just funny. So the captain invites Annie a party. Oh and bring a friend. It's a key party. The guys decide it should be Sam who goes as Annie's date.

As Annie and Sam are getting ready, Sam tells Annie if a guy gets fresh to hit him in the trachea or groin. Annie tells Sam of the back story she thought up for them. Sam likes his better: they met when Sam beat up a guy who was hitting on her. Sam gets all worked up with worry and maybe jealousy? over Annie so he punches the locker. He realizes how he's acting and says her story will work fine. Annie is smiling over Sam's reaction. Awwww

They get to the part and Sam is introduced as Tom Cruise. Then this scene happens.



Too funny. Another scene I thought was cute was when Annie tells Sam that Valerie's room is full of David Cassidy posters. "I think I love you" Sams says. "Huh?" says a confused Annie. Sam explains its The Partridge's Family biggest hit. Then he smacks himself. Tee hee.

So sad this show is canceled.

Life On Mars

I didn't think much of this episode.

A columnist is found murdered. And it looks like a case Sam handled in the future. Turns out the suspect is someone who murdered a woman Sam was trying to help in the future. Sam is all ready to arrest him but Gene is playing it safe. Turns out the columnist had wrote a not so nice article about Gene.

I like the show but one thing that bothers me is that Annie keeps going back and forth in believing Sam is from the future.

Burn Notice

This was a good episode. ha ha. Michael's ex fiancé, Samantha turns up asking for help. Apparently he never told his mom or Fi about Samantha. So the looks on both their faces are priceless.

Samantha is kind of a thief. She stole a chip because someone kidnapped her son. Who is 9. Which is about the time Michael and Samantha were together. Yikes. When the person realizes she stole the chip realizes they will hunt her down. She kind of did a sloppy job because well she wanted her son back. So she asks for Michael's help.

They retrieve the boy and what do you know... he's more like 6 or 7. Not 9. Bad Samantha. Michael says they are going to return the chip. Because they'll know it was Samantha, she'll always have to be on the run. So return the chip they do.

At the end of the day, Michael tells Fi that him Samantha were alike and it was easy so they worked. But then he meant Fi. And it was never easy. However he ended the engagement because "You don't marry someone when you are in love with someone else." Awwwww. He lubs you Fi!!!!

Madeline is right though Michael. Don't wait for Fi to propose (Samantha reveals she proposed not Michael) to you. Something tells me she wants the grand gesture.

The end shows Michael kidnapping Victor. Which was nice by the way.

CSI: Vegas

Ok episode. Three murders with one guy in common. It was kind of cool how they all linked them together but didn't do anything for me.

Sarah Connor Chronicles

Ok I was fooled but I did find it odd that Sarah would enter a sleep research facility. This was another so so episode for me. I want them to figure out about Jesse and Riley already.

Show Rundown  

Posted by: Isabel in , , , , ,

I know it's been a while. Sorry. I'll just go over my thoughts on my shows really quick.

CSI:

So Grissom is now gone. Although it's sad not to see him on the show anymore, I'm not really missing him. I like Laurence Fishburn's character. Can't remember is name at the moment. But watching on the first day was kind of cute. When he panicked to lift the fingerprint on the door knob.

I'm still enjoying the show and as long Nick doesn't leave I'm a happy camper.

Grey's Anatomy:

I knew Izzy's lab worked got switched. Now we play the waiting game to find out if she'll die, when she'll tell the rest of the gang and all that jazz.

George, George. Give the man a story line. It doesn't have to be a love story. But give him something to work with. I like George.

Callie, I just feel like they forcing a story with a woman on us. Just let it happen naturally. First Hahn, then he's lusting after Sadie and now the peds doctor. Geez. I like the ped doctor, but Callie does not need to be in a relationship.

I'm glad Meredith and Christina are talking again. I was crying during the episode when she went to the killer's execution. When she walked out in tears.

I was almost in tears last night when the guy was crying over his wife. And I did feel bad for Derek trying to save the woman's life. But the fight with him and Sloan. Hot damn. Mark picked a bad time to tell Derek about him and Lexie.

See.. what else.... I think Bailey will make a great peds doctor.

Burn Notice:

Ok, Michael freaking out that Fi may have die in the fire. Him caressing her face and then getting her breakfast the day. awww, even if she left. I like how Fi is playing it cool and making Michael talk to her about it but not playing hard to get. You know what I mean? I really like these two together. I've heard what ifs about Fi being the one who burned Michael but I hope they are not true.

But her comment at the end Thursday night's show has me paranoid. Where she says she needs Michael alive. Is it because she loves him? Or because she's behind all of this? Next weeks show looks good with Michael's ex fiance showing up. Love the look on Fi's face.


Life on Mars:

I missed the first episodes cause my DVR went crazy. So I missed what happened with the basement and with Gene's daughter Maria. I enjoyed last night's episode. With Sam so close to finding out how to get home. The cyptic message from the hooker was kind of creepy.

I have to agree with annie as to why Ray is sooo... what's the word.. I don't know. But why he's so afraid of Annie. Maybe deep down he admires her? Nah, i don't think so.

Stilll to watch: Bones, Sarah Connor and Dollhouse.

Burn Notice  

Posted by: Isabel in

I have a new summer show: Burn Notice. From Wikipedia:


The television series is a first-person narrative (including frequent stream of consciousness voice-overs providing nuggets of esoteric exposition) from the viewpoint of covert-operations agent Michael Westen, played by Jeffrey Donovan.

After fleeing a Nigerian operation blown apart by the sudden and unexplained non-cooperation of his U.S. contact, Westen finds himself in his hometown of Miami, Florida, USA, attended to by his ex-girlfriend but abandoned by all his normal intelligence contacts, under continuous surveillance, and his personal assets frozen. Extraordinary efforts to reach his U.S. government handler eventually yield only a grudging admission that someone powerful wants him "on ice" in Miami; if he leaves the city he will "heat up fast", i.e., he will be hunted down and taken into custody, whereas by staying there he can remain relatively free. Consumed by the desire to find out why he's been burned, and by whom, he goes to work as an unlicensed private investigator and freelance spy for anyone in town who can pay him any money in order to fund his personal investigation into his own situation as a blacklisted agent.


I got lucky in that I caught the show when it started showing the reruns on USA to prepare for the second season. Joey actually got me hooked the show. I love it. I think Michael Westen is hot. I love his sense of humor.

The blurb from wikipedia, explains the first season pretty. While trying to find out who burned him, he's doing odd jobs with his friend Sam and his trigger happy ex girlfriend, Fiona.

For Season 1 episodes, you may click here.

Season 2 premiered yesterday. I have it recording on the HD channel, so it came on at 7 pm pacific time on USA. So I think it's normally 9 or 10 pm when it comes on.
