My Top Shows for 2008-2009

When I watch an episode of a television series, I rate the episode out of 10. When I have seen every episode from the season, I add all the ratings up to give me a total. Then I divide that total by how many episodes the season had. That gives me an average for the season. I watched 12 shows in the 2008-2009 season, so I did a Top 12 for the season, and to my surprise, my two favourite shows didn't do that well this season (Desperate Housewives and Ghost Whisperer). Here is my Top 12:
.
#1. Grey's Anatomy (Season 5) - 9.66
#2. Lost (Season 5) - 9.64
#3- Harper's Island - 9.46
#4- Brothers & Sisters (Season 3) - 9.37
#5- Private Practice (Season 2) - 9.36
#6- Dollhouse (Season 1) - 9.30
#7- 90210 (Season 1) - 9.29
#8- Desperate Housewives (Season 5) - 9.12
#9- Heroes (Season 3) - 9.08
#10- Supernatural (Season 4) - 9.04
#11- One Tree Hill (Season 6) - 9.00
#12- Ghost Whisperer (Season 4) - 8.65
.
I'm gonna hope my two favourite shows do much better next season, although I don't have much hope for Desperate Housewives to get better with Edie gone, and some spoilers I have read of the upcoming season doesn't give much promise. Ghost Whisperer, however, sounds like it will be a great season so far from the episode summaries I have read.

"Private Practice" Season Two Review

Private Practice is a spin-off of Grey's Anatomy, one of my favourite shows, and I didn't immediately watch the series, as I only watched Season One for the first time two months ago as I got the DVD for my birthday, in the UK, it only came out in March 2009, which is really bad. However, I really enjoyed Season 1 and I was glad I asked for it for my birthday. So I had some major catching up to do, as I didn't watch Season 2 immediately, and I finished watching season two earlier this week.
.
Season 2 had just begun on LIVING and I thought I would watch it and decide whether to just watch it once a week on the channel, or catch up on the internet, so I chose the latter, and I was very glad. Season 2 is by any means better than the first season, there are new problems each week, and the episodes are very captivating and watchable, so I will definitely buy the DVD when it comes out like next year for us in the UK.
.
One of the things I hated this season was Dell. I really don't like him, he was okay in the first season, but he really did my head in this season. He just involves himself with everything where his nose doesn't belong, and becomes way too personal with other people's problems and acts like a right huffy woman most of the season, and that really annoyed me.
.
But the best episode? I would say the finale, it was very shocking, and ended on a cliffhanger, like nearly every show in the 2008-2009 season. I think my favourite character this season was Violet, she was amazing, very relaxed and a great character while pregnant, and the ending? Well I won't spoil it but it puts Violet's and the baby's lives in jeapordy. Recomended? If you're a Grey's fan and a fan of Addison Montgomery (which I am) then definetly watch this series.

Grey's Anatomy 5.24- Now Or Never

Best Season Finale Ever.

.

I was literally stunned at how amazing this episode was. I didn't follow season five on time because I had yet to see season four, being in the UK it really is messed up, the DVD isn't even out yet. So I bought the Region 1 versions and watched Season 4, so I could finally watch Season 5. Season 4 was great, I thorougly enjoyed it.

.

Grey's Anatomy is slowly creeping up to be my favourite show because Season 5 was incredible. Honestly, from the very first episode to the shocking finale, I seriously consider Grey's Anatomy to be the best show of 2008-2009 out of all shows I have seen so far. One part I particularly enjoyed was when they had to do the Kidney domino procedure. When Meredith dropped the kidney, I was stunned. It was such a simple thing but it shocked me.

.

What I loved most about the season is the question whether Izzie lives or dies. I feel so sorry for her, she lived through a lot this year. And I was so pleased with the finale, it was the best season finale yet. One thing that shocked me was George. I did not expect John Doe to be him. When Meredith realized was when I realized and my mouth fell to the floor.

.

Then Izzie! She got passed the surgery, got short term memory loss, then she remembers everything, and then she just goes unconscious! Now I don't know whether George dies or Izzie lives, or if Izzie dies and George lives, or if they both live, or if they both die. I am so looking forward to the season six premiere now, which will be on Thursday September 24, 2009.

.

Altogether an excellent season finale, with the best cliffhanger of 2009 finales!

'More Moments' in Grey's Anatomy Season Five DVD

'More Moments' to enjoy in

Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Fifth Season

Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Fifth Season is a DVD set I pre-ordered from Amazon.com straight away. Really, Grey's Season 5 was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. I honestly think it was the best show in the 2008-2009 season, there was not one dull moment. I do think they could have came up with a better name for it than 'More Moments', I think they're running out of ideas.

The finale of Grey's, Now Or Never, was the best season finale out of all the ones that aired in May 2009. Out of George and Izzie, I really want Izzie to be alive and pull through, and it was the best cliffhanger of all shows this season. My favourite character is probably Callie, or Izzie, but even so, I hope Izzie returns next season.

I recommend this season to watch, it was non-stop entertainment. This boxset will be released on September 15, 2009 for Region 1, I don't know about Region 2 yet, since the Grey's DVDs take years after Region 1 to come out, which I think is unfair, so Region 2 probably wont get it until about November 2010! Season 4 has yet to come out in the UK!
