Media Drought
>> Tuesday, May 20, 2008
I guess summer has officially begun, well, not in terms of weather but a few of my favorite shows are going into their season finales. My favorite podcasts are all taking a break; Gay Pimpin' is going off for a month or two, Bill Maher is gone until the end of August, all that's left is Dan Savage and his Savage Lovecast.
And the drama, the drama! Warrick Brown is shot twice and one when through his neck on CSI, so he's pretty much dead (Thank god, Nick Stokes' still alive). On CSI: Miami, Horatio Caine is shot with a deadly alloy bullet and lying right next to an airplane dying, and it seems like it was arranged by another CSI Ryan Wolfe. And beautiful coroner Alexx Woods has left the series 2 episodes ago, that was kinda disappointing as well. (Khandi Alexander would have been a perfect Ororo Munroe, right after Angela Bassett)
The wife of Dr. House best friend is dying and there was nothing anyone can do. After a bus collision, Dr. House has suffered a concussion and couldn't remember what's wrong with the lady who's also in the bus with him. He volunteered to open up his skull and receive electro shock to stimulate his memory and end up bleeding through his brains. Sunday night, Desperate Housewives showed a double header. The girls from the show act like they are all crazy and immoral, but that's not news. The ending goes into 5 years later, when Susan Mayer (played by Teri Hatcher) does not come home to the hunky and dreamy Mike Delfino (played by James Denton) but to Gale Harold from Queer as Folk. Huh? You dumped James Denton for Gale Harold? I was wondering if it was the series finale, because usually they don't jump 5 years and is the next season going to start 5 years later?
The final duke out of American Idol is tonight, the battle of the Davids. After Carly Smithson and Syesha Mercado are gone, I've lost quite a bit of interest. (I'm a sexist when it comes to music) David Archuleta vs David Cook. DC and I both like David Cook better, a cute kid doesn't make an idol, a man does. Also, David Archuleta's showbiz dad is a little bit creepy.
Well, all these shows are coming to an end, so what am I gonna watch next week? Jon Stewart is on vacation for god knows how long. Arghh!!!
It's column A for me any day of the week. (He better die next season, at least it'll make more sense.)
