I just remembered gravity… and the squishiness of all my manly bits. – Leverage premieres on TNT
So I don’t know why, but when I saw all of the commercials for Leverage, I wasn’t interested at all. I think it may have been the ads themselves: After seeing them practically every day, I still couldn’t tell you what the show was about. Maybe it was Timothy Hutton that I found off-putting, since he looks like a battered wife. I’m not sure what’s actually happened to him, but he looks like someone beat the crap out of his face and he’s wearing makeup to cover the bruises, but the swelling is still there, and you notice, but you don’t want to say anything because you don’t know what the actual deal is, and, well anyway, I heard good things about the show, so I checked it out. It’s pretty good.
“I love you.” “Well that’s too bad.” – Blair doesn’t get the reaction she’s hoping for on Gossip Girl.
I’m pretty sure I’ve said it before, but Chuck and Blair are the reason I keep on watching Gossip Girl every week. What fascinates me about them is that they have such an atypical relationship for a teen drama. Dan and Serena, well that’s just Seth and Summer all over again. But Chuck and Blair? That’s a whole different, very evil breed of high school relationship. Despite all of their scheming and backstabbing, the two of them really love each other. Even though they can’t be together, they can still be there for each other, as we saw when Chuck’s father died on this week’s episode.
“I love you mother, and I don’t want you to die.” – Jack makes up with his mother on a 30 Rock Christmas.
I love when TV shows do Christmas episodes, and 30 Rock‘s was no exception. Sure, it was pretty great when Liz told those kids that there wasn’t a Santa Claus (seriously, they looked way to old to still be believing in him anyway), but my favorite part had to be singing Christmas carols at the end. I’m not going to lie: I kind of have a crush on Alec Baldwin, and I thought he was absolutely adorable when he was watching Jenna sing looking like the Drunk of Christmas Past–and then he sang! It was all pretty great.
“Governor Patterson, you’re in the shot.” – Amy Poehler tries to say goodbye on Saturday Night Live.
Well, this last one is different because the event actually did suck. I love Amy Poehler. I’ve thought she was great since the Upright Citizens Brigade had their own show on Comedy Central. She’s hands-down the funniest woman on SNL right now, (yeah, I said it, Kristen Wiig fans. Suck it.) and I’m really sorry to see her go. I’d be sadder if she didn’t have her “not an Office spinoff” show premiering soon, but SNL will be sadder without her.
