More than a few takes on TV this week because we’re headed into Sweeps Week and season finales.
The previews of next week’s “Hart of Dixie” have me pretty nervous. Does Rose live? Do things get repaired between her and Zoe? Does Zoe go back to New York permanently? I have a feeling that she doesn’t but it was still a cliffhanger on Monday night! I’m also totally irritated that Lemon and George got back together — I was hoping that they were over but I think the wedding is necessary for the show’s plot.
The “Hawaii 5-0″/”NCIS: Los Angeles” crossover was awesome. I don’t know that it will make me watch “Hawaii 5-0” on Monday nights (it conflicts with “Hart of Dixie” where I am) but it gives me another option if there are crappy re-runs on Monday nights for “Hart of Dixie”. (I watched Monday’s episode online.) Anyway, it was excellent as a series of episodes and there were some interesting spiritual takeaways that I may have to expound on at a later time.
Speaking of cliffhangers, the regular NCIS is headed into at least two more related episodes. It was an intense episode on Tuesday night and there promises to be two more like it. I’d love to know why Harper Dearing has become a terrorist though I’m sure we’ll find out next week. It’s also weird seeing Abby outside the lab and next to Ducky in the final scene — I think it was seeing those two together that made me realize how strange and out of place she looks in her black clothes and chains.
I’m starting to love “The Mentalist”. I didn’t think I’d ever get into the show but I’m loving the episodes I’ve seen. I don’t really need another show to follow but this one is fun to watch. It’s kind of interesting to watch because it takes place in northern California and references Sacramento.
“The Big Bang Theory” was pretty forgettable this week. Last week was fun with Howard’s bachelor party and this one had potential with Amy and Sheldon but it kind of fizzled. Having said all that, the next week or two should be interesting. All the sites who care about these things have talked about how the gang is going to be trying to get Howard married off despite the launch.
I need a favor from any parents with special needs kids. I’m doing a series over at Blogging for Brett called “Raising Special Needs Kids” with the purpose of maybe convincing people that raising a special needs kid like Brett is totally possible. If you’re interested, email me. I’m jen at grace-filled dot net.
The Promise Walk for Preeclampsia is on Saturday. Please sponsor me and help make a difference in the lives of pregnant mommies everywhere.

Man I am SOOO behind on Hart of Dixie! I need to catch up this weekend! I can’t believe all the shows are ending already booo at least I will have my guilty pleasure shows on abc family over the summer.
I was wondering what your thoughts on NCIS LA / Hawaii Five-O would be! I like both shows and haven’t decided if I like this cross-connection or not. It did feel a bit strange (and a little forced) to see the characters mixing between them. It makes me wonder just how far this type of thing could go…
I have long been a fan of the Mentalist too. I can only save (not watch) recorded episodes until my daughter is home (college student) since she also likes it and we watch together.
My MIL loves The Mentalist, and introduced us to Big Bang Theory (which we’re always a season behind on since we just buy the DVDs).
I’m not much of a TV person but I did just go through the first season of Mad Men in a week. It makes me wrap my head around people GETTING DRESSED UP all the dang time, even just to hang out at the house.
We really like the Mentalist–he’s such a character. But we have pretty much laid off all TV watching in the last couple of months, it’s gotten so busy!
Emailing you @ the blog thing. 🙂
I hardly ever watch anything new on TV. We love our DVR (even though I get indigestion when I go to pay for it). We watch old Big Bang, Little House on the Prairie, Star Trek the Next Generation, and sports. Lots and lots of sports. I may or may not have my computer or a book on the sofa with me when we watch sports.
my two older sons and i have a monday night ritual of watching hawaii 5-0 (because my husband has to get up at 5:30 a.m. it’s on waaay past his bedtime). we love the show, and we thought the NCIS crossover was great.
that’s it for t.v. for us … except i am watching season 1 of Downton Abbey.
Ok, this is weird. You watch the exact same shows as I do. 🙂
🙂 You have good taste.
