Sunday Night Slump

Since the giant move of Grey's Anatomy to Thursday nights, Sunday nights have suffered seriously. The most desperate show is that of the housewives. The first season was new and captivating, the second season, while lacking, still had a large following because it preceded the hottest new show (Grey's). Now in it's third season, it is dying a slow death. Honestly, I haven't even watched the show in so long that I had no idea what was going on tonight. So my advise, if you love it then keep watching it. If you don't watch it, don't start.

The only redeeming show on Sunday nights is Brothers & Sisters. Calista Flockhart makes her triumphant (OK, maybe not triumphant but good nonetheless) return to prime time. An, as always, adorable Sally Field is set as the matriarch of the family. After Top Gun hot stuff Tom Skerrit (don't lie-you know you though he was hot when you were in the 2nd grade!) dies, the family is left to discover his dark and hidden secrets such as a two decade long affair with a woman named Holly and serious company debt. As the family tries to sort everything out Kitty (Calista) decides to move back in with her mother and crazy antics ensue. Tonight's episode was good, nothing outstanding happened to comment on. I would say that if you are bored on a Sunday night it is a good show to watch...not to mention the overwhelming number of attractive people on the show!

Well you should rest up because this week will be a good warm up for all the TV that is on its way back. Tomorrow night How I Met Your Mother (televisions best comedy) is back with a new episode. I will say it now and a million more times, this show is fantastic. It is some of the best comedy writing to hit the airwaves since the Seinfeld era. So get ready for another legend...wait for it...dary episode tomorrow night! Mondays are usually filled with so many heavy hitters such as Heroes (best new drama to hit TV), Studio 60 (the dramatic version of 30 Rock, but equally as good) and my cheesy favorite What About Brian. It is my weekly ritual to proclaim loudly as many times during the show I can, "BUT WHAT ABOUT BRIAN!?!" and throw my fist into the air. Honestly, the show I am most excited about tomorrow is THE HILLS! I know what you are thinking, The Hills, really? But this is one of those shows that I like to escape into. Plus, they dress really well, and I usually get some really good fashion tips. I just love that LC, she will always be the girl who didn't go to Paris. I will keep you updated on the drama that unfolds. Have a happy first full week back!
