30 Days of TV, 2/6
Apr. 30th, 2013 05:31 amIt's such a cop-out to put this as my favorite episode for Scrubs, but My Screw Up is easily my favorite. Even when you know how it ends, you still want something to change. Even when watching someone else watch it for the first time, it's fun to see the moment they realize they think they know what they're watching for (because some jackass always tells them there's a twist and if you haven't seen it yet, that jackass is now me.) and then the way they don't want to be right beyond wanting to be able to say they were. Warring emotions.


My babies, no! ;_;
Charmed: All Hell Breaks Loose. They say go big or go home? Why not do both? Shannen Doherty leaves and leaves big.
I'm trying to think of a least favorite episode for Scrubs and I can't think of anything. To be fair, I don't know if I finished S7, nor do I want to look it up because if the answer is yes, it means all I have left is S8 and that hardly counts, y'know?
So then I thought I would default back to Charmed for my answer, but as much as I dislike some episodes in the first four seasons, I have blocked entire chunks of the subsequent seasons out and I know for a fact that I would take The Good, The Bad, and the Cursed or Astral Monkey over a good chunk of the later seasons.

Psych!
Psych. I get irrationally sad when people do not like it at all. I then get irrationally happy when someone comes around. :D

Misery is happy!
Which is a bit of a cop out because dude, I can't pick a best scene ever EVER. But Misery being happy makes me happy so we're allowing it!

Blair, why do you keep breaking my heart?
Gossip Girl started off a little rocky because it clung awfully close to the subpar source material. It's like they didn't realize that Chuck wasn't really someone you would want to see on a weekly or even monthly basis if you followed the books but they'd committed to the pilot and ugh. So they faltered a smidge but quickly realized one of the things that worked best in any universe was Blair/Serena and in order to fix that, you had to show how broke in the first place and why it stayed broken.
So Blair channels everyone who has ever had their best friend (or more) just up and leave for whatever reason. Had that person walk out the door and despite knowing that the one person in the world who counts on them needs them, they're too busy doing whatever it is they're doing to even pick up the damn phone or send an email or even a text. You left, you ran away, and you didn't look back. While you were gone, my life crumbled to dust and you didn't care enough to even send an "I miss you" postcard.
I think it saved the series at that point and gave it a foundation to build the rest of the season on. What they did after S1 is an entirely different kettle of fish.

Nemesis love!
Phineas and Ferb. I don't know why aside from the initial art didn't really look appealing to me. But Widget watched and I napped through probably the first four episodes and somewhere between the napping and the awake I realized the show was incredibly smart. I'm a sucker for a really clever cartoon.
