She Gets Distracted

[krickets]

I feel like I need to talk about TV-I'm-Watching-That's-Not-The-Killing. Just to let you guys know I haven't been ignoring the rest of my fandoms.

→ SITCOMS. I feel like I can just lump most of these all together. I have missed a lot of Community and the idea of catching up is tiring. I have been like this pretty much since mid-season two and it isn't going to change Modern Family is something that I still watch fairly regularly (it gets DVRed) but I don't really care all that much about it. I don't know how it fits into that category, but it does. New Girl. Shut up. Dayl gave me a short-list and I watched them and I am kind of digging it. I am not going retro-active yet so I've pretty much only seen from mid-season on. But it's very cute and not even remotely as terrible as it was at the start. Which is saying something. Happy Endings and I broke up. We're officially done-zo. (This is a lie: I feel like I still love Jane and Alex and Penny and Brad but but but... I don't know. It felt like it was just trying too hard in the second season. However my love of aforementioned fictional people might eventually pull me back in.)

→ Suburgatory. Yeah, this one gets its own spot. I left my Cranberries CD in the quad, you guys! (Please tell me you get that reference.) I kind of love this show a whole whole lot and Jane Levy is the most precious Reese-Witherspoon-looking adorable thing since I don't know what. And I am totally shipping the heck out of "Cher" and "Elton." (God, Elton! Can't you suck?!) I feel like this is just going to devolve into me misquoting lines from Clueless all night so I should probably quit while I'm ahead. (Which is coincidental, because I might have missed an episode or two.)

→ NEW-ISH SHOWS. I NEED TO TELL YOU GUYS. I loved the pants off of both Bent and Best Friends Forever and they're both canceled now. So... there's that.

...to be continued. (Cause I am sleepy and need to go to bed.)

Much to my surprise, I've really been loving Suburgatory and the recent Clueless crossovery arc, too. And I agree, Jane Levy is super adorable. :)

I feel like this show just sort of exists in its own little world. I love it.

Clueless crossover arc, you say? I may need to start watching this show!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Well, it's got Alicia Silverstone and Jeremy Sisto playing love interests and making a handful of Clueless references in the process. So much nostalgia. And they're adorable too, so that helps!

Don't even try to resist, dude, you can not escape the charms of New Girl. No one can. I've seen half of my flist follow the same trajectory this season. It's starts with "this show is the worst" proceeds to "oh, it's not so bad" before you finally reach "OMG, OBSESSED" which is basically where I started, but the Kool Aid tasted so good I couldn't help myself...

Best Friends Forever was one of my favorite new shows of the season. :(

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I may not be able to resist, true. But based on my history with sitcoms, I can pretty safely say I won't reach obsession levels. What can I say? I like my dramas.

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER. I feel like I need to say more about this show and I think I'll re-watch just so that I can but I was super bummed it wasn't given more of a chance. SUPER BUMMED.

That was kinda awesome. Finally, Cher and Elton got together.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, right? Although, admittedly, Elton is kind of a douche. But George can be a stand-in for "reformed Elton" and it's all good.

I feel the same way about Modern Family. I watch it weekly and enjoy it, but I'm not obsessed over it. It does makes me laugh however, which is why I keep it on my DVR recordings. lol

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yeah it is so strange. It is consistently good and funny (with the laughing!) but you don't really need to say much more than that?

[stainofmylove.livejournal.com]

Oh, Suburgatory, lol. I too love all the Clueless allusions. The first scene where George meets Alicia Silverstone's character, they played a Cranberries song and I couldn't stop laughing. Although then it got weird, 'cause in my head it was like:

HAHAHAHAHA, HE FORGOT HIS CRANBERRIES CD AND NEEDS TO GET IT BACK BEFORE SOMEONE SWIPES IT. OH YEAH REMEMBER WHEN ELTON TRIED TO SEXUALLY ASSULT CHER TO A CRANBERRIES SONG? .... oh boy, opps, bad place to go :\


I'm sad Best Friends Forever got cancelled, I liked it quite a bit :(

Modern Family is great. I actually marathoned it recently and got all caught up ;)

Im not huge on the sitcoms but I do really enjoy it!
