Looking Back at Tuesday, October 24th

Once again, apologies for being a bit behind the ball today. Still going to get everything I want to get done today done as I don't have much left. Let's take a look back at the shows that aired last night that I happened to watch.

• Gilmore Girls: One of the reasons I enjoy this show is because of the witty banter on the show. There isn't much appeal to this show outside of that aspect. It's your regular family drama series with some good characters on it. For the most part, the storylines aren't something that attract you to keep watching the show though they're not horrible by any stretch of the imagination. I used to watch this show on and off, and last season finally decided to sit down and watch a full season. It was good watching and that was it. With David Rosenthal on board this season I feel like the storylines are top notch on the show as the relationships between Loreali/Christopher and Rory/Logan are rather good, and you can sense that something big will happen between Loreali/Christoper/Luke. It's just waiting to happen. As much as I'm enjoying this show, another 8PM show is quickly becoming my favorite in this timeslot, and with good reason. A good episode nonetheless, but at times, I look at Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, and can't help but feel like they're just kind of phoning it in.
  
  
• Veronica Mars: This show has continued the great storytelling from the previous two seasons and the characters are as loveable as ever. This episode focused upon Veronica trying to find out who raped one of the girls, and while she found out that it wasn't someone from the fraternity house that is being accused of multiple rapes dating back ot last season she still doesn't know who he is, and something tells me that this isn't the guy who it will turn out to be in the long run. This continues to be one of the best shows on television, and with the ratings going up things are looking good for this show.
  
  
• Friday Night Lights: This is quickly turning into one of the best new shows on television, but it's just too bad that it's not getting the viewers it needs. NBC seems to be showing faith in the show though, and will give it every chance available. This show just continues to amaze me at the different characters and storylines it's trying to tell. In each episode, there are four or five storylines that you're just falling in love with, and want to see more with. I'm interested in the big rivalry game next week as well as the Quarterback controversey between Tatum and Matt. Also happy to see Matt starting to get focused as he gets more and more interested in the daughter of his football coach. Things look to be getting interesting and I just hope that NBC gets some viewers for this show. Next week they're airing it on Monday nights at 10PM which is normally the slot that Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip gets. However, next week would've normally been a rerun so Friday Night Lights gets the call. Part of me is hoping it can get great ratings and maybe find a permanent spot there. However, the other part of me wants to see Studio 60 excel. I think if Friday Night Lights gets the same ratings as Studio 60 then it'll take that spot, and they'll find a new spot for Studio 60 which is another show they're not keen on getting rid of. I'll talk more about that later.

More coming soon.

Thanks.

What To Watch Tonight?

So, with the night about to get underway, I imagine you're wondering what you should watch tonight. Let me break it down for you based off of what I watch.

• Gilmore Girls (CW at 8PM EST): This show has stepped up in terms of quality now that David Rosenthal has taken over. Many were frightened that he wouldn't be able to bring the Amy Sherman-Palladino flavor to the show, but he has done that and more. The first few episodes of the season have been amazing and have kept me glued to my television set with the romance between Lorelai and Christopher heating up. I think that romance is the best by far on the show, besting Luke and Loreali as this one feels just right. Check it out tonight as we keep moving forward to lord knows what.
  
  
• Friday Night Lights (NBC at 8PM EST): If you're not a fan of Gilmore Girls and want something different, then check out Friday Night Lights. In all honesty, this is one of the best new shows on television that takes after the book and the movie of the same name. Kyle Chandler has made the role his own as the Coach of the Dillion Panthers, and the multiple stories being told here are enough to keep anyone interested. It gives you the feel of real small-town football and the lives of real people in a small town. It's simply amazing, gritty, and beautiful. Check it out.
  
  
• Veronica Mars (CW at 9PM EST): The other half of CW's new Tuesday night line-up is Veronica Mars and it's one of the best shows on television period. Follow the sultry Kristen Bell as she plays Veronica Mars who is the daughter to a former sherrif, and a detective in her own right. This show has got a great story, great characters, and great dialouge. It's a show worth checking out, and if you haven't seen it before then make tonight your first night. Each season has only gotten better in quality and has received the love of every critic out there. With popular favorite The Unit on repeat duty this week this could be the week Veronica Mars makes a small splash in the giant pool.

Great shows to watch tonight so get on it!

Thanks.
