tv

Of course, we all look forward to summer and the fun and sun it brings.  With the arrival of summer, we also get season finales of our TV shows.  As usual, some were good, others not so much.  Here's my recap...

Brothers and Sisters - I thought it was good and was surprised there were not many cliff-hangers.  Well, turns out that is a good thing as it got cancelled.  Oh well, it was good while it lasted!

Desperate Housewives - Ugh, this season was pretty rough to watch.  The sudden appearance and murder of Gabriel's stepfather felt forced.  I can't stand Bree's new boyfriend and the Paul storyline is getting old.  Hopefully, next year is better...

~

Hawaii Five-0 - I love this show.  It is super predictable but the characters and scenery are marvelous.  They definitely left us hanging so I am really looking forward to their fall return. 

~

The Event - This one's probably on its way out but the last couple of episodes have actually been pretty good.  I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

American Idol - I like the new judges, although they can be a little too easy on the kids.  I think the talent was better in the top 10 than it has been in a while.  However, I don't like the way America votes.  I think Casey, James and Haley should have been the top 3.  They are all good and, I hope, will all succeed but the last two left are definitely not the best.  They are good and plenty marketable though.

The Voice - I especially loved the blind auditions of this show.  Now, I am thinking that these contestants are not really that good.  Or, maybe it's just the battle rounds.  It is very hard for me to hear them and their voice over the other singer and the music.  I think they are going after people that are more coachable than those that are already polished.  At this point, I think Javier Colon is far and away the best.  Well, he was the lead singer for The Derek Trucks Band for a few years!!

DWTS - Ok, I have to admit I don't watch this show.  But, I have been keeping up with it because of Hines Ward and it looks like he has a legitimate shot to win it.  I will watch the finale though - Team Hines!!

~

Grey's Anatomy - Christina's breakdown kinda got on my nerves, as does anything Callie-related.  I thought the season finale was good and the Meredith situtation might be the best-ever storyline for her.  I also like the Teddy storyline because I really like Scott Foley - her husband.  :)  Next season should be good!

~

CSI - I can't say this is my favorite show anymore.  They have changed the cast a lot and I feel like something is missing.  Laurence Fishburne (Augusta native)  was the main character this season and his is an interesting storyline.  We'll see where they go next year, more cast shakeups are expected. 

~

Blue Bloods - Gotta love Magnum PI, um, I mean Tom Selleck.  This is a great show but they came to a quick resolution in the finale.  With one year under thir belt, we will see what they do with it next year...

So, for the summer, I will watch the remainder of The Voice, So You Think You Can Dance and Big Brother.  Plus, a lot of Braves baseball.  They have not been consistent yet this season.  They will beat the Phillies and then lose to the Nationals.  Hopefully, they can even that out on the winning side soon.

Although I will miss my shows, it's a good thing the DVR won't be full.  Brad and I have our anniversary trip to Antigua, bachelor and bachelorette weekends, a girls beach weekend, golf trips, showers, weddings and the usual lake trips.  Should be a busy and fun summer!!!
