They're All Criminals
Everybody’s got a gun and everybody’s a thief this week in TV. Can’t we all just get along?
What Happened Last Week
Drama
It struck me as odd that George (Grey’s Anatomy) would spend the entire day hunting for turkeys with his father and his brothers and then eat Thanksgiving dinner with… his co-workers? Isn’t Thanksgiving a family holiday? And with his family clearly right there? It always annoys me when writers invent situations for their characters to spend the holidays together when it’s just not realistic for them to do so. How did the six Friends end up spending ten Thanksgivings in a row together? Go home to your family! (Sorry, pet peeve.)
Logan’s best line of the week, as he walked into a hostile biker bar filled with thugs: “Hey, I’ve got 9-1-1 on the phone. Does anybody know the address here?”
On Lost we found out that Ana Lucia was both a cop and a murderer. So now she joins up with the deadbeat dad, the Korean hit man, the convicted felon, the con artist, the unwed mother, the drug addict, the man without faith, the torturer, the man with the case of knives, and… the lottery winner? Fun times on Nonsense Island.
Reality
On America’s Next Top Model Bre lost her mind over a stolen granola bar and put two Red Bulls down the drain. If you think that doesn’t sound entertaining, you really don’t know what you’re missing. Since Bre’s lost her mind, Nicole is a sissy girl, Jayla lost me at “stupid, stupid bitch,” and they kicked off Kim for having man-hands, then I guess – by default – go Nik!
On Donald’s Apprentice I’m cool with the final four. Although, is anybody surprised that three of the four are women? Given how that team started? I know I’ve been a Randal supporter this whole time, but I think Rebecca has a really good shot at winning this thing now. All she has to do is beat Alla over the head with her cast.
Comedy
Everybody Hates Chris is definitely growing on me. (Still not as funny as Earl or Arrested Development, but worth watching nonetheless.) Mostly I love it because of the sweet relationships between Mom and Dad and between Chris and his geek-boy friend Greg.
What Happens Next
Time for George to go bye-bye on Desperate Housewives.
Meredith has (another) one-night stand on Grey’s Anatomy.
The Weaver’s get even more self-oblivious on The Amazing Race. What’s the point of having a Yield on a non-elimination leg?? Smarten up producers!
College applications loom in Newport. How are the writers going to fakely keep the crew together into their college years? (Another pet peeve.)
Gallant’s back and there’s talk of a wedding coming up on ER. If it’s Kovac and Abby that get married I will stop watching. That’s a promise.
Kate makes out with Jack on Lost. The hell? After the whole Florence Nightingale crap with Sawyer last week? The Jack-Kate kiss is definitely not in a flashback. Although I haven’t heard conformation that it isn’t in dream-sequence. We’ll see…
And, like, a thousand different things are going to happen on Veronica Mars. Veronica investigates her mother’s permanent record at Neptune High. Also, Kendall vs. Trina: fight! And there is a final surprise ending to the episode. I’m getting all shakey just thinking about it!
