Aprilshowers

I just watched this show the first time. I know I know late to the party. Man it was definitely binge worthy(thanks Netflix!) except season 8 gosh it was really terrible ( did not like Robert California despite how great JS is). Loved the cast chemistry and the acting, it had such funny moments mixed with heartwarming. You realize when you are watching a great show when you get second hand embarrassment for the characters (i.e Phyliss wedding Michael Scott's behaviour ) . I love Jim and Pam to pieces, seriously one of the best couples on tv they had, believable from start to finish. Every character worked in their own way, grew to love Dwight what an odd duck he was. Angela actually warmed up to and I felt sorry for her in the later seasons with the mayor and Oscar, Darryl, Ryan and his shenanigans and schemes, Kevin, Meredith, Stanley even poor Toby. Andy I liked but never really loved like Michael. Its hard to pick a favorite season, a lot of them had such great episodes. I did not enjoy the Jim and Pam angst though I know they wanted to drag it out a bit. I like seeing others thoughts on everything being a newer fan of the show its interesting

First Tyler now Kirsten WTF GH? So who's next off temporarily, shall we take bets?

I think even though Alisan won and deservedly so, all four will be just fine. Hannah has Pharrell in her corner and even though those songs do nothing for me they are popular apparently. Laith has his own groove and fanbase and Adam L in his corner likely after the show,I see good things for his music future. Adam has Blake who I'm sure will pull many strings to get those mediocre country songs out and about, sorrynotsorry. Nice finale if a bit long and some filler stuff of course. I enjoyed all the bring back performances except for Adam's, really not trying to pick on him but so lackluster ugh. And damn Brian N should have got farther than he did Katie B as well, Ryan too. Nick was never needed, heh.

I'd say Laith was the most even of the contestants last night. Every performance was done well. Loved his original so much and the duet with Adam was so entertaining! Hannah's original is just awful, is that what goes for hits nowadays? Gross. I did like the Police cover of EBYT and like Adam I am protective of that one. Alisan bored me with her original, but Somewhere she killed it and agree with others her duet with Christina highlighted why even though Alisan has range, she doesn't have that something extra that Christina's has. AdamW is just not my cuppa, nothing stood out to me at all it was so the opposite of everyone else. I'm sure he'll win, meh.

Okay first Kiki and Dillon now Carly and Finn have my interest. What the hell is going on here? Either my tastes have gone downhill, heh or maybe the only thing the writers can do is pair up characters with chemistry these days.

Man this show is boring. I hate Carly tis true but damn when did she get all lets hold hands and sing folk songs everyone? Sonny and Anna..whatever. There is literally not much that interests me these days, well Finn is mildly entertaining. And of course will be interesting what BH's next story is. RH gets better with age even if he is stuck in Franco/Nina hell. If Kiki and Dillon were the best thing and I hate her ass what does that say?

Last night it struck me that I like everyone on Adam`s team. I will miss Brian but Owen is such a great choice he does make covers his own. I actually like Daniel, his voice is smooth as butter. Christina was definitely reacting viscerally to Nick going through, he`s just such a weak singer. I knew Pharrell would pick UnicornEmily to go through, she is different just didn`t care for her and that Paul Simon song. Mary Sara going over Katie bugs me, Katie sounds like TY and her voice is more pleasant. Of course matter of taste. At least Laci is gone thank god

Though I'm saddened BB and KSt are spitting up, I'm also convinced noone stays together anymore. At least its amicable.

I have only been watching here and there. But God what is it with Sam and whatever man she is with being a purse holder?? Never seen anything like it on any soap before. And I've watched a few. Oh glad MEaston is back, just love seeing him on my screen can't help it

Perhaps its a kneejerk reaction to what's going on in my own life BUT Valerie had no damn business staying with that kid, she should have got the aspirin not him. Lulu should have kicked them both to next Sunday for the whole thing.

That was most awesome Michael hating Sonny ah good times, then of course wasted like everything and everyone else on this stupid show!

I think Liz getting chewed out by Carly is about what I expected to happen. I am a Liz fan but seriously they could have put a bit more drama in it all. Liz saying she's a town pariah when noone except for Jason and Carly spitting nails at her moreso Carly doesn't exactly scream pariah. In other news Val and Dante can kick rocks I'm officially Lulu in real life and it sucks hard. Off to watch Mondays episode

Weighing in on the last few shows yes Liz isn't being very nice to Sam but again I think she's just mad at being outed and lashing out. I'm not pleased with how she's treating Laura though, she needs to step back a few. I really liked the Franco/Liz scenes and I usually hate Franco. Perhaps RHo toned down a bit. I really hate the writing for Carly because she's actually right about most things these days and that is plain wrong to me, I hate this bitch why does she get to truth tell ?*sigh* Love seeing Robert again Maxie's hair is atrocious Less said about Nina the better

I will join the the chorus of those let down by Lake scenes. BH was great but BM only had anger and his delivery was a little flat. I wanted more, so much more its been over half a year of lies come on show! Samtrick/Emma stole the show for me. I became pretty indifferent to Samtrick over the months but their scenes yesterday were so well done. Kudos to JT and KeMO and little Brooklyn I teared up at Emma's reaction to the split up. Understandable she wants her mommy, would have liked more of that acknowledgement throughout the time her mommy has been gone *sigh*. I will miss Patrick won't lie and he's been horribly underused so don't blame JT jumping ship, Patrick was never meant to be Sam's purse holder. Scrubs reuniting is the best possible outcome at this stage even though its so abrupt and out of the blue. Oh Dante, I just can't with you. Get your crap together and stay away from Val. At least figure out what the hell you want to do about your marriage, geesh. Lurved the Johnny and Lulu scenes, he remains awesome hope he stays awhile this time. No Sonny again, win episode on that alone.

So glad to find the forum for this show! Rewatching the show courtesy of Netflix and man it was so well written. Watching with hubby and we both agree Winnie is horrible. Her and Kevin are horrible together. Sorry Kev/Win fans but she does nothing to deserve him. He clearly was way more into her all the time, you actually feel sorry for him half the time. I also enjoy the family dynamics more than Kev and his friends. All in all such a strong show though, all the seasons were well written. Well minus a few clunkers in the 4th season. The dentist assistant and Vet episode come to mind. Wonder if this show would have survived if it was made now instead of back then?

But hey they only screw on holidays right?

E for effort on the Thanksgiving eppy, at least they tried right? Please end this Samtrick/Lake shit now show, it's painful to watch. Sam is fooling herself, Patrick is a doormat. I have no idea where Liz's head is at now, sometimes she looks like she's owning it others well guilt is all over her face. I must say though Jason explaining he didn't have his memories back but pizza was easy and fast was rather priceless. I didn't mind the Julian/Alexis thanksgiving with the girls and Leo, heh. I didn't like Kristina being a bitch to Ava but I attribute that to the fact MW makes Ava rootable in a effed up way. Anna and the new doc in town, jury still out but FH spins shit to gold and new doc is really cute/shallow. Lante/Val obviously there is an attraction there between Val/Dante but puzzled why he isn't fighting for his life with Lulu... Still love seeing Laura on my screen, she needs to be on more and be the voice of reason for everyone and everything. No Sonny = awesome show regardless

So I'm on the reveal episode as been doing some catch up nursing new baby and all :) and I can't believe Liz is still not fessing up she knew he was Jason. Unbelievable! I literally do not know why I'm even a Liz fan after all this still, she's lost her damn mind. Sam can literally have him at this point. Show isn't bad lately I guess. I still want to punch Sonny in the face daily but that's normal. And I'll say something nice about Carly, she's shown as much restraint, well for her in this reveal. Onto next batch of episodes preparing for rage blackouts.

Good grief, haven't watched the show since Tuesday I fear I may feel some rage though after today's show. Liz just didn't need to know that Jake is Jason whatsoever. They had built in conflict once she would find out with the rest of them, remember the danger show? Remember how Liz couldn't handle Jason's hitman life? Ugh disgusting.

That's who Liz is though, she is always looking for a family for those boys besides herself. It just sucks that this little family of hers built all on lies now. I'm not sure she ever learns *sigh*

No singing shown at a party with karaoke fail, Bachelor party with 4 people fail, RA off screen reading letter with happiness anvils galore for Liz big fail, Dante/Val secret huge fail, we needed screaming and throwing of stuff, despair and more throwing of stuff and Dillon totally set that up Only thing I thought was cool was the morphing scene of Jakeson turning into Sbu Jason. Can only hope the actual reveal isn't lame....

I'm not mad at Liz but damn if I'm not cringing through all those Lake scenes. She must be out of her godforsaken mind now to bring up adoption. I did sort of giggle when LJ said sure he can adopt me but he doesn't have to he's my real dad. Oh lord. Major props to BH and BM playing this farce. I can't keep mentioning enough this is pretty hard to watch for a variety of reasons. Yes Dante go to Sonny for advice about women and cheating on them, not quite as cringe worthy as Lake but almost. At least that story will come out now interesting to see if Lante will be left standing after it all. Back to Monday's episode another thing that can't be said enough shut your pie hole Carly about everything in life especially Michael. He's a damn fool for taking those idiots back into his life...rage

Thanks WendyCR72 and twoods! We're having a boy this time around. This should take my mind off this horrible show which has indeed brought up many a rage blackout. Oh I'll probably still watch damnit... Forgot to mention I'm also still loving Laura these days, almost wish she was the whistle blower on this Liz mess. Hope Genie sticks around for a little while this time.

Oh lord the Liz stuff is very very hard to watch. I think she may fall pretty hard after all this, at least for a while. I'm almost feeling more sorry for Patrick than Jake simply because they are pretty much each other's best friends and have been there for each other for a long ass time. But this secret does need to come out, Ironically enough my due date is around the Lake wedding so it could put me in labour at this point. And I'm really thinking LJ is not really Jake, not sure if that's popular opinion or not. He's just really off.

OMG just watched Pat's smackdown on Sonny at GH it was a damn thing of beauty!! Is this Patrick we all used to know? Is this the one that Robin fell head over heels for? Why I do think so. And Sonny go DIAF and take your enabling loud mouth wife with you. Other random thoughts Loved Anna's breakdown with Kevin, holy hell FH is made of awesome. Glad Liv's dumb stupid ridiculous baby secret is out. I'm seeing movement in some stories. Other than the Sonny crap its been a rather enjoyable show. Franco and friends, meh whatever its dumb but can't build up enough strength to hate him anymore. Now lets move on with Dante's dumb, stupid ridiculous secret and Liz's mmmkay show.
