Here's my take on this week's episodes of my favorite shows. As always, TV Quick Quips contain spoilers.Big Love (Season Finale) - Anyone else confused and frustrated by all the compound "intrigue"? It all seems far too over done. I hope next season tones it down a bit.
Flight of the Conchords (Season Finale)- Mel's weird obsession with Jermaine and Brett is starting to creep me out. Does she want to mother them or sleep with them? The fact that I even have to ask this question gives me the willies.

American Idol - Idol was extremely anticlimactic for me this week. Here's what happened. Since I wasn't able to watch the shows when they aired, I set the DVR to record them. On Friday, I sat down with my "clicker" and zipped along through all the commercials and bios and silly cast songs. After I finished watching the first show, I zipped along through the results show. Isn't DVR great! If you follow the show, you know that at the end the judges were having trouble deciding whether to use their one and only "save" to save Michael. Time was running out. Ryan even made a comment about the next show getting ready to start. Then Simon takes control (surprise, surprise) and says something along the lines of he's going to make a decision. Paula makes a unhappy sigh and then Simon says "Michael..." AND THEN MY DVR STOPPED RECORDING! Arghhh! Apparently the show ran over by a some infinitesimal amount of time and I didn't get to see the most important part of the show. I had to find out what happened by looking it up online!. For Pete's sake, I could have done that right from the get go! Well, I learned my lesson and I set my DVR to record 2 minutes beyond the end of the show from now on. Geesh!
LOST - Whoa! As conniving as Ben (even young Ben) is, I'm not sure I can digest the fact that Sayid shot a child! I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around that. Not something you see everyday on TV (or the movies for that matter). Now here's a question. If Sayid killed young Ben, how does grown up Ben manage to be around in the future? Hmmm...
The Office - Show of hands... How many people tried Scotch and Splenda after that episode aired? "Tastes like Splenda, gets you drunk like Scotch". Hysterical!
Friday Night Lights - Never seen so many sensitive teenage boys in one place at one time. Go Panthers!

LOL, we had the exact same experience as you, Pam, with Idol! SO frustrating! As you said, we could have skipped dvring altogether and just lookied it up online, which is exactly what we did! We keep praying for the ouster of Megan and Adam. Drat! He actually did a good job on his Motown song this week.
I hear you, Karen. DVR is great....until it isn't! You are not alone in your dislike of Adam. Seems like people either love him or hate him. He happens to be one of my top four (don't throw garbage at me). Megan however, I can do without. I was surprised she wasn't in the bottom three this week. Fingers crossed for next week!
Thanks for the update! I miss Prime Time Tv. If I have to watch Spirit Stallion of the Cimmaron one more time, I may hurl! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Hi FranticMommy - Oh how well I remember those days. I didn't watch TV at all from 1994 until 2002 (aside from Survivor!). But I can recite, word for word, every Disney movie released during that time period. LOL! It will get better. I promise!
On Big Love: maybe they should rename the compound "compost" because sometimes it's just full of it? The compound storyline is going by too fast...it needs to slow down just a bit. They also tend to "forget" about certain things...Like Lois and Frank. He's looking everywhere for her to get revenge and then he's not around anymore? Am I missing something? And Frank's a jerk...do you really think he's going to allow his beautiful young wife to spend all that time at Joey's? Storyline inaccuracy ticks me off!
American Idol: Still love Danny, Didn't watch much of it this week though, kids were too busy being kids and I don't have DVR ::frown::
Hi Alex - I totally agree with your assessment of Big Love. Compost! LOL! I hope they rein that whole story line in next season and focus more on Bill and his family. That is what I'm more interested in. All this intrigue and plotting seems too contrived to me.
No kidding...my heart kind of went out to Nicki this year...you know...with her falling in love with the DA. He was kinda cute in a Morman sort of way. I wanted the DA to grab her by the shoulders, yell at her, then give her a smoocharoo (yes, like a cornball lifetime network movie).
Hey Alex. Nicki is the character I love to hate. I can NOT figure her out. She is so great with Sarah and so capable (fixing the roof,etc), but she is also very conniving and manipulative. My friend, Jaime, put it best when she said "Well, she IS interesting!" No doubt! And she keeps the show interesting for me.
Darn, I need DVR! I haven't got to see Lost yet because that darn Idol was moved to Wed. That darn Pres. had to speak on Tues. I am going to watch Lost online as soon as I am done here!
Sharon - You won't be disappointed. It was a good episode!
