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 DVD

After watching Season 2 of Private Practice, I will definetly be getting this DVD boxset. The artwork was released a few months ago by TVShowsOnDVD.com, and I love the cover, it definetly fits the style that the first season DVD had. The DVD will be released on September 15, 2009 for the US, but the UK may have to wait until March 2010 for this DVD, since we had to wait that long for Season 1.
.
I can't wait to see how this looks in person as I hope it matches Season 1 with it being shiny and embossed, so I'm waiting for the UK release so it matches with my Region 2 Season 1 DVD. If you haven't seen the series yet, then you should definetly get Season 1 (it's only 9 episodes long, so not much to watch) and catch up with the series in time for Season 3's debut in September.

"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.
