Some of my favorite TV shows premiered this week and so far I have been pretty pleased! I do have to warn you that I still have a lot to watch though, especially the new ones, and I'm sure they can't all be great!
Caution: SPOILERS AHEAD!
Greys Anatomy: All the doctors are back in action, well almost, after last season's crazy intense season finale. I was a little nervous on how they would follow up such an incredible ending but they did a great job to set up tons of story lines in the season premiere. I'm still in shock that Christina married Owen in such a non-dramatic way! It was almost as if you would miss it if you weren't paying close enough attention! Overall I'm happy though, especially seeing as there is a new McShrink on the show, James Tupper (who may turn out to be more than just a shrink for somebody whose name starts with T and ends with Eddy). GA is in the perfect starting place.
America's Next Top Model: Honestly I have not watched this show in a couple seasons because I kind of got bored with Tyra's craziness and the winners not really doing anything after the show. However, after reading a review for Season 3,936 (I think that's right...) I was intrigued seeing as ANTM was stepping up their game. This season's prize includes a contract with IMG Models, one of the top international modeling management companies in the world; a fashion spread in Vogue Italia and an additional spread and cover of Beauty in Vogue; and a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics. The first episode's challenge was a Diane von Furstenberg runway show...I mean come on. Fabulous. There's a couple girls that I have picked out but for the most part I'm not totally thrilled about anyone in particular. Will be a fun season to see all the designers they feature but I'm hoping the girls will start to step it up soon!
Modern Family: If you follow TPAMP you know that ModFam became my new favorite show on television last season. And that is saying a lot seeing as I'm a total TV junkie (can I put that on a resume!?). Hallelujah, the season premiere did not disappoint! I was laughing out loud...alone...in my dorm room...within the first three minutes. Phil is back and awkward as ever and Gloria was hilarious trying to convince us she was not a typical Colombian mom. Can't wait for Season 2, it's going to be just as good, if not even better, than Season 1.
Cougar Town: Love. This. Show. Courteney Cox is just so quirky and clingy that it's amazing. Jen Aniston popped up on the season premiere which was pure awesomeness and she was pretty hilarious as Jules' (Cox) hippie therapist. Especially after Easy A, I'm still loving Dan Byrd as Jules' son Travis. His strangely open relationship with his parent's friends Busy Phillips and Christa Miller is so unorthodox yet gets me giggling almost every episode. Can't wait to laugh some more with the CT gang this season.
Community: Betty White people, Betty White. What a great way to start Season 2. There wasn't a ton of laugh out loud moments but it was definitely nice to be back with the study group. Troy's twittering about Pierce's awkward sayings were pretty funny but I have to hand it to Cheng for the funny award of the episode. I am so excited to see him more involved this season! The last scene of Episode 1 killed me; the guy is definitely hilarious. Props to Betty White for being great (as usual) and rapping with Ahbed and Troy in the extra scene!
90210: Drama, drama, drama! And that's exactly why I love it! Seems like so much happened in the last couple of episodes last season that I was afraid I was going to be a little lost in the premiere but they did a good job of tying up a few loose ends right away. They definitely left a few open of course with a couple new characters and a possible creepy storyline with Mr. Cannon. Naomi is back in action with her trust fund officially handed to her on her 18th birthday but is super messed up from last season's mishap with Mr. C. Annie and Liam? Or Annie and new boy? But Liam and new boy!? We shall see! Ivy and Dixon are bringin' the drama with Ivy's childhood friend from Australia visiting (cue Ivy's inappropriate hippie mom). Adriana, never to be outdone in the drama department, has a life changing moment (again) and has to figure out how to deal with it without feeling guilty. Last but not least, Teddy and Silver start off strong, but of course no relationship is ever perfect for more than half an episode and we see it go downhill pretty fast.
Hope to have some new shows to report on coming up next!
