OK -- I regret to say, since Big Brother 11 ended last Tuesday, I have not quite known what to do with myself three evenings a week. I miss it desperately. I actually subscribed to the feeds and while I did not watch them 24/7, it was nice to occasionally pop in and see them scheming behind eachothers back before the episode actually aired.
Yes, my name is Kimberley, and I am a BB addict. *breathe*
ANYWHO, now that this is over, I can get back to my life. Sort of.
Just when I thought I may be OK, this week is FALL TV PREMIERE WEEK! Yesssssss!
Below are three shows that I am so excited are back, and my opinions on each (if you care)! :)
-------------------------------------------------------------
First up is Big Bang Theory. Hans and I got into this show the end of season one, and after two or three episodes we were hooked! When I was home on maternity leave with Jakey, we watched all of season one that we missed. Online. In two days. It is THAT good. I love the characters and they have great one liners on that show! Sheldon is a riot, Leonard is a dorky sweetheart who's always chasing after Penny, and their friends Koothropali and Wolowitz are just hilarious. Especially Wolowitz. If you haven't caught an episode yet, check it out and just give it 30 minutes. You'll change your mind.
Next on the list is Heroes. We have been watching this one since Season one, 2nd episode. Last night was the premiere of Season Four. This show is more of an Action/Drama if I had to choose a genre to place it in. The title says it all - this show is centered around a cast of people who were ordinary until a solar eclipse occurred four years ago, and then several people in the human race developed super powers. One girl can never die, and when she is injured, even severely, she just heals. One man can fly. One can time-travel. One can read minds and control thoughts. The list goes on. Then of course to have a show there has to be a villan, the main one of which is Sylar. This guy is creepy - but you always end up feeling sorry for him somehow at moments! His power is that he can take other people's power... in his own way. You'd have to watch to know how. Kinda intense - but overall the hubby and I really like the show!
Then last but certainly not least -- there is The Mentalist. I love this show! OMGosh for so many reasons. First, the plot. This show just came on last season, and from the very first episode I was drawn into the storyline and the main character, Patrick Jane. Patrick is a consultant for the "CBI" (California Bureau of Investigation), and each episode centers upon a murder and then figuring out who did it. Some times I get it right and can tell. Others I am blown away! But in each scenario, he comes in and basically "reads between the lines" to help figure out cases that may otherwise go unsolved. Additionally, he has his own personal past that comes into several episodes. His wife & child were murdered many years ago by a serial killer named "Red John", and occasionally clues come forward as to who he/she might be, and then the chase begins for him all over again. (It also doesn't hurt that the main character, Patrick, is super cute and makes for fantastic eye candy for an hour, haha!)
If you don't get the plot I just described -- completely understandable, although I did try my best! :) This is another show that if you had just an hour to kill, give it review and maybe you will like it as much as we do!
Well, that is all for me for now. Thanks for listening to me babble on and on about my favorite shows!
