I’ve had this discussion with my good friend LM and were discussing where the writers are taking the Izzie and Denny storyline. Is he simply a vision because she’s scared to move on with Alex? Or, like LM and I think-is she dying and Denny is there to help her cross over?

There are rumors that the actress who plays Izzie, Katherine Heigl, has wanted to leave the show for some time now.  I’m not sure if they are true or not, but it’s definitely suspicious. She’s great on the show, and I for one do not want to see her go. At the same time, I think the writing for Grey’s went through a really bad dry spell, specifically with the Izzie/George relationship. What the heck was that? It was awful! But this season I feel that the show has really redeemed itself. I love the mystery surrounding Denny’s reappearance, and Izzie’s sudden eratic behavior. I also love the character development going on with Alex. He’s become a great man, and if they don’t kill Izzie, I hope her and Alex do the happily ever after dance.

I guess we’ll just see what the writers have in store for us. I will admit Grey’s Anatomy isn’t nearly as great as it was when it first came onto the scene, but I think they have a great cast, and have potential to be an amazing show. I’m definitely hooked and I can’t wait to watch tonight’s episode!

I haven’t posted about any tv shows lately because nothing has been too compelling. Yes the stories have been good but nothing that made me stop and say wow. This week’s episode of Greys Anatomy finally gave me that wow moment.
I’ve been waiting a long time for Grey’s to get back to what it was in Seasons 1 and 2: a compelling, edge of your seat, leave you wanting for more, awesome show. Last season and the beginning of this season hadn’t impressed me nearly as much as the first 2 years. But this episode really brought it back!

Spoiler Alert of In The Midnight Hour:
In the beginning of the episode, Izzy still sees Denny, and it’s really freaking her out. My theory on this? I think that Denny is an angel of death, just like he was for Meredith. When he says, “I’m here for you” I think he means that in the literal sense. He’s literally there to guide her to the afterlife. I don’t want them to kill of Izzy’s character, so half me hopes I’m wrong. Or maybe they’ll do as they did with Meredith, and she’ll be on the brink and she’ll pull out of it. Either way, I’m hooked!

Then there are the murderous interns. This group puts the original cast to shame with their antics! Giving Meredith’s old friend an appendectomy WHILE SHE’S CONSCIOUS?! Without prior experience? Just ACK! And I really can’t stand Meredith’s friend, so much that I haven’t paid attention to her name. Dying is it? Something like that. Well the girl acts like she’s taking horse supplements or something for all the weird and crazy stunts she’s pulling. Cutting herself and asking to be sutured up, and then cutting her own stomach for her appendectomy. EW. I really can’t wait till she leaves the show-she just bugs me.

Finally, there is Alex. I love Alex:  always have, from the first season. I am sad that Izzy is so torn over everything, but I love that he’s there for her. It’s just like when Izzy found Denny, and Alex picked her up and carried her home. He’s the romantic, reluctant hero. Sigh.
I can’t wait for the next episode!

Here is my week of spoilers and recaps of my favorite TV shows. Enjoy!

How I Met Your Mother-This one was definitely the best show of the week. Ted dropped a bomb at the end of the episode, foreshadowing the end of his relationship. I knew he wouldn’t end up with Stella-despite how sweet she was, that wasn’t the way he was going to meet the mother of his children. They had too many differences, and she just wasn’t the one. I loved that the crew kept having interventions, and I thought it was a good way of opening Ted’s eyes to his situation with Stella.

Samantha Who-She’s back! I like this show because it’s cute and quirky. However, the premiere episode, with the storyline of Sam and her mom entering a dancing contest was…lame. Still, it was funny and Samantha was cute as always. She dances as bad as I do!

Grey’s Anatomy-This week Erica and Callie went on their first date. I can already tell that Erica is way more into Callie than Callie is to her. I’m wondering if they’ll have some big catfight in a coming up episode. There wasn’t nearly as much drama or chaos in this episode, and it ended on a fairly good note-with Meredith reading her mother’s diary with Christina. My biggest problem with that is I wish she could have trusted Derek to read it with her. Why does she always lean so hard on Christina? Sometimes it’s ok to lean on your boyfriend too Mer. Come on!

Brothers & Sisters-I just plain love the family squabbles in this show. Every week it’s something new. It’s fun to watch because they’re a real family. I like the Justin and Rebecca twist but I’m tired of Justin always going back to drinking. New storyline please! As for the Ryan thing, I hope they do tell him who he is. I want to see them contact their long lost brother. Oh, and I can’t wait to see Kitty get a kid-she’s going to be such an awkward mother!

Eli Stone-The season finale left a major cliffhanger for Eli. He had surgery on his brain tumor and he was in a coma. At the end, he opens his eyes, but we don’t know what happened. I know he’ll be ok of course because he’s the star of the show. But will his premonitions be gone? Will he still be a prophet? This had me anxious for the premiere. So the suspense paid off! This was a fantastic episode! I couldn’t believe it when Nate started getting visions too. Then when Eli realized his therapist was a vision too-wow, things couldn’t get any weirder. I love the heart that Eli shows in this show, but I am so anti-Taylor. That girl is evil and so ignorant. He has successfully predicted so many things, yet she still refuses to believe him. She finally does at the end of the episode but I still don’t like her. And Eli gets his aneurism back, so his brother doesn’t have to suffer. He shows the ultimate sacrifice here, and I think this shows the strongest character development. I love this show!!

The Office-Michael finally did it! He grew a pair! Good job buddy! I was so proud of him for asking Holly out. I really wish he’d just tell Jan off. She’s such a freeloader! I am shocked that he’s helping support this baby that he has no relation to. I can’t wait for Pam to come back-the relationship she has with Jim is so great. I love the way they connect, and at the end of last night’s episode they really showed how the two are just meant for each other.

Desperate Housewives-I was horrified when Bree tried to parent Danielle’s son. I can’t say I’m surprised but man! I am so glad my mother isn’t like her. I’d be so pissed if someone tried to change the way I was raising my kid. Gabby needs to get her act together, this poor me thing is crap. Just because you don’t have money doesn’t mean you have to be dumpy. Hey Gabby? I’m broke but I don’t look like I just woke up. Get it together! And her fat little daughter is such a brat. I was so proud of Susan for knocking her down.

I was so amped about the Grey’s Anatomy Premiere-especially after seeing the previews! They made it look so intense: Rose tells Derek she’s pregnant, Derek casually pops the question, and then Derek was hooked up to industrial clamps and all of this medical equipment, while Meredith was screaming.

The thing is, it was a classic case of the writers teasing us and then slapping us in the face with something a lot less dramatic. Still, it was Grey’s so it still drew me in. I’m still hoping for some of what captured me in the beginning, and maybe this season will be it.

It’s almost that time- Fall Premieres of all my favorite shows! I know, I’m such a TV sitcom junkie…but hey, I work hard, I work out, give me my tv time. Plus with every major network posting their shows online, I can watch them at my leisure, which is what I prefer to do. The boy talks too much during the shows, hehe, so I have to rewatch to see what I missed.

Here’s a list of the shows I can’t wait to watch:

1. Grey’s Anatomy: While it’s definitely gone downhill, I think the finale last season really helped pick it back up. I can’t wait to see how Mer and Der get along living together. Reminds me of my situation.

2. Scrubs: ABC is picking it up for it’s final season. This show used to be my very favorite, and it also went downhill, but I want to see how the end it. Hopefully JD and Elliot will get together for good.

3. Eli Stone: This is a cool new show about a lawyer profit. They left us with Eli in a coma after brain surgery, and he had just opened his eyes. I love cliffhangers.

4. The Office: Oh my god Jim just propose to Pam already, I’m sick of the waiting. What a little stinker. But this show never fails to make me laugh.

5. How I Met Your Mother: This show just plain rocks. I can’t wait to see what happens with Ted. I hope that this show actually has a shelf life, just because it will be so frustrating if we never get to meet the one that Ted ends up marrying. He proposed to Stella but it was after a breakup, so we’ll see if that pans out.

6. Desperate Housewives: The writers really threw us for a loop this last season by fast forwarding 5 years. I hope it’s as chock full of drama as last year.

7. Samantha Who?: Christina Applegate is just adorable. I love watching her in movies and now her new sitcom. I love the premise-Bad Sam turns good after she gets amnesia. I love how she has this childlike innocence at times. Such a cute show.

8. 30 Rock: I love Tina Fey, she is adorable and so good at playing a geek. She’s cute and funny and I hope this series stays on the air for a good long while.

9. Private Practice: It’s not as good as Grey’s, but I like their medical stories. They are always heart wrenching. And the guys on the show, FU-ineeeee. Yum.

10. Pushing Daisies: I like this show, it’s kind of fun in a weird, almost eerie kind of way. The cinematophy is beautiful as well. It’s very sad how the two main characters aren’t allowed to touch. This show might get old after awhile with that premise though, so we’ll see.
