Aaaaahhhhh!!! I have been waiting sooo long for this show to start that I even stayed up until 5am to watch this remarkable show. Rewatching promos and previews of the show, I was absolutely gagging to watch the Pilot, and now I finally watched it and I LOVED it!
.
Even though the show has been getting generally mixed reviews from several critics, from the very first minute I was drawn into the show and fell under the spell of the main women. I love how the Pilot episode just never stopped, it kept going and going and there wasn't one dull moment in it.
.
Roxie was introduced first, so I will begin with my opinions on her. I really love Roxie, she is fiesty, a mother I'm sure loads of kids would love to have her as their mother, fun, hip and sexy. I especially find her 'romance' with Darryl quite funny, as she herself doesn't know what she wants. She is quite stubborn, a little like me, and just a pleasure to watch. She was compared to by Susan Mayer a lot by critics, but Susan is my favourite character in Desperate Housewives, and I would say Roxie is very different.
.
I am torn between my favourite either being Roxie or Joanna. Joanna is the nerdy but loveable woman who works at the local newspaper and has a thing for Will, but has great difficulty telling him her real feelings, or even telling him anything that makes sense because she really gets nervous around him and ends up saying something very inappropriate, which is hilarious to watch.
.
Last up is Kat, a mother of five, I think it was five anyways, who is married to a complete and utter jerk. Honestly, I think Maggie Friedman was trying to get us to hate Raymond with all our hearts and make us feel compassion for Kat, and to tell you the truth it kind of worked. While Kat is the more serious one, she is just trying to burst out her bubble and have fun, but is constantly squashed by her horrible husband. I do hope she gets that divorce.
.
And now Darryl. He is quite a charmer for the ladies, and since this show is only partly based on the film, but more so the books too, I will not compare Paul Gross to Jack Nicholson. While Jack did an amazing job as Darryl in the film, I was very pleased to see Paul do just as good in the television adaption. He had all the spunk that the original Darryl had and I am sure he will continue to be this way throughout.
.
This show is like Charmed meets Desperate Housewives, and I simply adored the Pilot episode, it had all the elements of a successful television comedy that was just simply funny and serious at the same time. I am excited to watch more episodes because I am beginning to think this show may become my all-time favourite! Let's just hope the ratings held up, it deserves a large rating!
Well I enjoyed it. I love Courtney Cox, so I kept my mind open when watching the Pilot, and let me tell you something, it sure was random. And I really like random, and comedies, so random comedy put together.
.
I wouldn't say this is better than Friends, I wouldn't go that far, but the show does have a lot of promise and I need to watch a few more episodes before I get an opinion on this show. There were moments that were funny, and moments that were trying too hard to be funny, and you may have seen the idea of that joke somewhere else before. But all in all, not bad for a new comedy.
.
The characters seem very likeable, yet I doubt we will get depth from them any time soon. The random storyline that I liked the most was the billboard sign that Jules had made for her realty selling, though her friend, Laurie, put quite a 'revealing' picture of her on it, insisting it was better than the one Jules originally picked out. I do hope more episodes have a bit more laughing moments in them before I fully call it a comedy.
.
Laurie seems to be the stereotypical dumb one, yet I seem to like her. Jules is probably likeable from the get-go so that's a bonus for sure. I am excited to see more of this, but as I said, I need to watch more episodes to fully grasp what I think of this series.
Watching One Tree Hill without Peyton and Lucas made me realize- the show will not make it past Season 7. Besides P and L not being in the episode, or the rest of the series, the show has got quite boring, and both Hilarie Burton and Chad Michael Murray got out just in time to save themselves the effort, there was no point in making a 7th season. There is little to no drama, and it's become way too dream-oriented.
.
There are only so many times I can watch an episode without throwing something at the screen because someone is singing. This episode it was Haley, and though I love Haley, I am sick to death of hearing singing in every single episode from Season 5 onwards. And you could totally tell she was lip-synching.
.
Brooke was always always my favourite character ever since Season 1, but with Julian, she is so... boring. She's lost that spark she had a few seasons ago and now she has just fizzled into a dull character. The best character in the episode? Millicent! And she was only in it for a total of about 2 minutes! James Lafferty's acting is getting wooden, and the whole basketball thing is just getting right on my nerves, I genuinely think the writers are struggling with writing for the show- please don't make a Season 8 unless P and L come back!
.
Not the worst episode in the whole series, and it was an okay episode, and it did have its moments, but on a whole I don't think it could survive past this season, and I expect the ratings to drop fast. Could have been worse, could have been better, nonetheless, I will still watch the rest of the season to see what it has to offer.
Now this is a show I know I will love this season. From the very first episode, I knew the CW had another classic hit series. With an amazing 4.84 million viewers tuning in for the premiere, I was genuinely pleased I watched it as soon as I could. The very first scene was filled with horror, and something Supernatural has been lacking lately. It immediately drew me in, and it's one of my favourite Pilot episodes of every show I watch.
.
The character of Elena is someone I can identify with, she is amazingly acted and easily likeable. Her friend, Bonnie, is also a great character, someone I am intrigued about, especially that freaky moment in the Pilot when she grabbed the bottle and had that vision thing and it kind of freaked me out- I LOVED IT! And finally, a male character I like. It's rare for me to really like male characters, and besides Dean Winchester, I really like Stefan, he seems very protective of Elena.
.
Damon is a strange character, but very exciting to watch him develop. He seems to be a great villain and he will definetly generate more scary scenes in upcoming episodes, and it's strange because even though Ian Somerhalder played Boone in Lost, he kind of looks really different when playing Damon, and sounds quite different too, he definetly makes the character his own, bravo!
.
A series I will be watching every week til its finale, I recommend new fans to watch for sure, it's completely breath-taking.
Supernatural ended last season with a great cliffhanger- Lucifer Rising! They had an amazing concept and I was soo excited for Season 5. Even though I loved, loved, loved the episode, "Sympathy for the Devil" was a little disappointing. I wasn't very disappointed, and I still gave the episode a 10, there was just a few things I realized while watching.
.
The show is called Supernatural? There isn't anything supernatural about it anymore. We've had the Angels storyline for a year now, and it's getting old and boring. There is nothing creative about Supernatural, as every single Angel looks like a human, and now the Devil does- where is the creativity in that? Demons and Angels look exactly the same, and the only difference is Demons sometimes get black eyes- wow! The show isn't scary anymore either, it's relying too heavily on Dean's sarcasm as comedy for the show to still be successful- I want the scares back.
.
The episode was great, no doubt about it, and I got a surprise when Bobby attacked Dean, so I was glad that happened. I did feel a little sorry for Sam since he was the one who made Lillith die and opened Hell, but it was by accident, so I can't really blame him too much.
After watching the finale of Season 1 for "90210", I was left hooked. I really didn't expect that 90210 would fall into my good graces, but left with the cliffhanger of who Annie ran over made me want to watch the Season 2 premiere episode, and even the Annie v Naomi storyline is something I looked forward to for the coming season. I have a feeling Season 2 will be the best season yet, and the premiere episode for the second season proved exactly why I thought that.
.
Though Annie is hardly in the episode as much as Naomi or Silver or Adriana, I found her character getting a sudden change from a happy-go-lucky girl to a dark and guarded lonely girl who can't seem to trust anyone, and I loved watching that contrast. Even though Naomi is a huge bitch, she is definetly one of the best bitches I've ever seen and I can't imagine the show without her, she is an anchor for it, and makes the show a lot more interesting.
.
Silver was quite funny in the episode also, especially with Naomi's and Silver's first meeting of the new guy, Teddy, who I don't really like to begin with. Silver and Dixon's relationship is on the rocks thanks to him telling Dixon about Silver and Ethan, but then again, I don't like Dixon, so Silver could do a lot better anyway. Then we have Adriana, who wasn't as much of a main as the others last season, but she rose to prominense in this episode as she interacted more with more of the cast, and she is truly a beautiful rose. Navid is okay, I don't really have much of an opinion about him, all he seems to want is sex, and it's kind of getting boring for him.
.
Naomi was probably the best in this episode, she was definetly featured a lot more than the others, and the ending with her finding that naked video of Annie on some boy's phone will make a great next episode, I just hope Naomi finds out that Annie did not sleep with Liam before she goes too far.
.
Overall, amazing return episode, gets a perfect 10 from me. It definetly deserved higher ratings than it got, which it got only 2.56 million viewers, americans, tune in!!
