Grey’s Anatomy Finale: D.O.A.

Grey\'s Anatomy - Season 4

I’ve finally caught up on a few of the television finales and decided the worst one (that I watched) came from “Grey’s Anatomy”. It was the same ol’ crap just re-packaged to make some of the doctors have a happy ending while others went deeper into their self-destructive hole. McDreamy and Meredith finally, after years of break-ups/make-ups and working together and fighting together have decided to give a final shot. But only after she made a breakthru in therapy that is….

If this was season two or three, perhaps I would care. But seriously, four seasons of dating, adultery, and false relationship starts really wears on a viewer! I simply just don’t care.

Who do I care about? Bailey, but it took an entire season of her running around being a Doctor/Head Resident to realize that doing all that and taking care of a baby just don’t mix. She gives the clinic to Izzie. End of Story, everyone wins.

The Chief got back with his wife…ewww old people kissing…I guess it works.

Alex and Izzie fight and kiss again, but now with more sadness and pathetic words.

Callie and Erika are kissing…boring…way to try and get the male demographic back.

George gets to redeem himself and retake his Intern test. Here’s hoping he doesn’t flug it up twice.

Will I watch next season? I really don’t think so. I’d almost rather watch “ER”, which I hate. So that’s saying something.

‘New Amsterdam’ proves to be mortal

My new favorite show (post-strike) was “New Amsterdam”.

But sadly, it was given it’s death sentence this week. Why Fox? Why, oh why can you not let things last? I shoulda realized it was doomed when they pushed back the premiere to March.

Fox isn’t the only one throwing around the axe this week. Also cancelled are “Moonlight”, “Shark”, “Canterbury’s Law”, “October Road”, “Back to You”, and obviously “Bionic Woman” and “Journeyman”.

Crazy Sci-Fi Concepts

Mental Floss has an enlightening article about “6 Sci-Fi TV Show Concepts You Didn’t See”. Most of the list is pretty dead on, but I resent them putting down “Daybreak”. I was way more into that show than “Journeyman”. And yes, I did watch the online episodes…

And “The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang” definitely is the craziest thing (and worst cartoon idea) I’ve seen all day. Even worse than “Hammerman” and I’d thought that was impossible! Check the clips and decide for yourself.

Lost’s burning question: What?

I’m usually the one yelling “what?!” when watching “Lost”. But after watching this video, now I see that all the characters on that show are just as confused as me!

Thanks to Videogum for the heads up about the “supercut” blog trend. There are so many fan videos out there (find a giant list here)! I had no idea. I guess since it’s easy enough to hook up a tv tuner to your PC, it’s no wonder these videos have proliferated.
