Well, this week is wrapping up all of our shows. A lot of them had their season finales last week, and the rest of them are this week. We watched the 2 hour finale of ’24’ on Monday night, and I’m left bitter, wondering why we have to wait till Jan 2006 to find out what happens to Jack, and if he’s coming back. We taped the season finale of 7th Heaven, but haven’t had time to watch it yet. Last night, it was the season finale of NCIS, and it was a jaw-dropper. They had previewed that one of the NCIS agents “would not survive”, but usually it’s just to lure you in, and we hoped it was a secondary character, and not one of the main agents. Nuh-huh, no way. They had a sniper shoot Kate between the eyes in the last couple of seconds of the show. I was rather upset. Then, we watched House, and while it was good, it wasn’t earth-shattering. I do love Sela Ward though, goes back to my days when I loved the show “Sisters”, and I’m happy to see that it looks like she will be back for at least a couple of episodes next season. Then, we watched our tape of American Idol, and both agreed that while we like both Bo and Carrie and would be happy for either of them to win, that a) neither one of them sang really well, nothing outstanding and b) the judges and probably America are predisposed to Bo to win, which is ok with us. However, being the “root for the underdog” kind of people we are, I felt compelled to vote for Carrie. I got in a few times, mostly after 10 PM.
Anyway, tonight is the last big hoorah. It’s the show I’ve been waiting for weeks for. The two hour finale of Lost. I absolutely cannot wait. I hope it’s all that they have built it up to be, and better, but I am afraid with all the hype, they can’t live up to it. Then, I think the Alias finale is on, and we will probably watch that. We’ll have to tape Idol and basically just watch the last 5 minutes to find out who won!
Yes, we watch a lot of TV. I am a total TV-addict, and have been my entire life. I don’t see myself changing any time soon. That being said, I don’t know what we’re going to do the majority of the summer (I know, no need for Gail or Amanda or anyone else to comment, I know we can work, we can read books, we can get things done, we can talk, yada, yada, yada), and we will do all those things and more. But still. I will miss all my shows. Now, I think I will have to be happy to wait for the new season of Battlestar Galactica and Monk, both of which I believe start in July. At least it will be something!
1. i agree about idol, neither one of them was a knockout, or did all that great. too bad. i feel same as you and i think/hope they both get contracts. have read a lot on it and i think judges want bo to win, can tell by their behavior, especially miss paula! and can tell by their comments. critically what i read, says that carrie has the better voice vocally, its just that bo is older, has more experience etc.
2. can’t wait for lost either! and too, hope that it lives up to what has been advertised. told elizabeth that it looked really good and i hoped that it was! if not, then i think that………
3. we should remember that these finales aren’t what we had hoped or seen advertised and not watch so many of these unfulfilling/unsatisfying things next year! idol has disappointed me some, saw a segment on it this morning, saying it wasn’t really that imp in the music world, wouldn’t really change anything and that basically it was just a huge karaoke contest! i may not pick it back up again, hope i remember that in the fall! and i get tired of the controversy, which i think is somewhat hyped to help the show and that bothers me too, or rather i get tired of it. i am trying to learn to do some other things! it is always work though!
