Ringer has been on hiatus, but returned Tuesday night with a Bang.
After the mid season finale left me a bit angry and bored, I was almost anxious for its return.
And now, I'm just damn glad. Ringer delivered a grand return and sucked me back into the strange Bridget/Sibohon world. Thank Goodness. Cause I want Sarah Michelle in my living room every week. (not literally, but through my TV).
Other Notes:
One tree hill. I've been open about my strange love for the wickedly awful show. The final season has started and save for the first 5 minute opening of episode 1, I'm feeling a bit, uh, BORED.
The drama feels forced, the actors seem tired, the story lines are recycled. And Marvin is fat? Like I care.
There are only 13 episodes to this series finale and I will say the first 3 have been mostly disposable.
Maybe I'm just angry because Revenge hasn't been on in two weeks.
Maybe I've grown past One Tree Hill.....wait no, that's not it cause in two years I'm so gonna watch seasons 3 & 4 again just to watch Peyton and Brooke battle it out. Oh, the good ole days.
The show just hasn't been the same since Peyton left.
Thus concludes my whining.
till later my loyal readers when I talk music.
Tease: Snow Patrol and Ani Difranco fill my ipod!!!

Are you there Vodka? Wednesday night TV review
Wednesday night TV is shaping up to be.....good TV, mostly.
We've got our staples, Modern Family, Revenge, Suburgatory. Adding to my Wednesday line up is One Tree Hill and Are you there, Chelsea?
Of course, One Tree Hill was all I needed it to be and I'm very anxious for the last 12 episodes. Again, someone dies, and I don't know who!!??
Now, the brand new, Are you there, Chelsea? is a little more complex for me to simply review. Based on Chelsea Handler's memoir Are you there Vodka? It's me, Chelsea, with Laura Prepon (That 70's show) taking the lead. Laura Prepon has always been ALMOST funny to me. She's always on the brink, but just lacks that extra ineffable thing that makes me laugh aloud. She's totally capable of her job, but as a comedic force spewing lines from the unstoppable mouth of Chelsea Handler??? Eh. Chelsea Handler is brash, uncouth, whorish, and delightful in her acceptance of all these personality traits. But, Laura Prepon acting like Chelsea is like watching a pretty girl act like Chelsea Handler. Its odd. Its unsettling. Especially with Chelsea Handler acting in the show as the uptight sister. Weird.
The show may be better if it didn't have a laugh track.
I Love that there is a show with a strong female character that can "drink like two men" and enjoys sex freely. All good ingredients. But add that laugh track and suddenly I feel a forced lightness to every drink and sex joke. Are you there, Chelsea? is like staring at all the ingredients to cake, and as a viewer you just keep waiting for them to mix it and bake it. Cause till then, it's inedible.

One Tree Hill in my heart and forgetful mind.....
I've been perfectly honest about my addiction to One Tree Hill. I can't, I won't explain it. I just freaking love it.
I haven't been paying attention to winter TV premiere dates and today I was surprised to see a promo for One Tree Hill which starts TOMORROW!!!!! WHAT?! Today Dance Moms, tomorrow One Tree Hill!!!! It's like make Mindy happy week :)
If you don't watch the show, it's cool. I get it. I won't harp. BUT, if you do, YOU have got to see this final promo.
I don't know who dies, but I guarantee I will be crying. Yes, One Tree Hill will make me cry.
You can watch the crappy video below or ......
go HERE and watch the nicer, prettier version. I strongly recommend the latter.
