I actually liked The Office. I didn’t think it was the best episode, but last night’s episode had its moments. Personally, I thought the Toby scene was HILARIOUS. The Office does a great job with exploiting the awkward moments in human nature.

I also watched Supernatural last night. I didn’t think it was any better or worse than usual, just different. It focused more on the humor rather than the scare tactics. I was looking forward to having my weekly horror film, but a good laugh was much appreciated.

Last, but most certainly not least, LOST was AMAZING!!!! I was shocked when Alex was killed. I can’t even put into words how much I loved this episode, but all I can say is I can’t wait for next week!!!!!!

Congrats to everyone who actually managed to conquer Everest. Sadly I’m only half way there! Rest assured, I’ll make it up to the top this weekend, or die trying!

Ha! I beat the TvA. I managed to watch Grey’s, Ugly Betty, Lost and Supernatural (I don’t usually do SN but I kept hearing about the Ghostfacers thing, it was hilarious).

I agree, the Betty/Henry thing is getting old. I’m holding out for Betty/Daniel (He remembered he’d forget!) but Betty/Henry is making me angry.

I LOVED Grey’s. I feel like it’s back to what I love, good medicine, funny competitions, plenty of heart and just enough angst.

LOST killed. Lost and GG right now are two shows that have been consistently good all season.

Sorry, I cheated on you and watched The Office as I was brushing my teeth when I got home.. haha…

That being said… NOOOO don’t drop Ugly Betty just yet…!!! I have hope yet!!!

Come on… pertty colours!!!

I know. not as funny as you wanted and probabyl too sweet for your taste but they needed to catch everybody up and get the dramatics out of the way for more comedic set up! yah. thats it… !

Hey, don’t go claiming to scale Everest when you’re saving the final ascent for the weekend. Last night I WATCHED: Smallville, SPN, Earl, Scrubs, Office, 30 Rock, Betty, Grey’s and Lost. 7 hours, all watched! And I even had time to squeeze in a fastforwarded version of I Know My Kids a Star and FOX News’ Red Eye (my fave guilty pleasure ever). I had to stay awake until 2am, but it was worth it!

I liked Ugly Betty! Not their best episode, but it was a good one. I do agree Wilhemina needs to be back at Mode though.

I actually really liked Scrubs, but both Smallville & Supernatural were kind of a yawn to me. Supernatural had too much of the other people in it and not nearly enough of the guys. I mean, I know that was the point of that ep, to make it mostly like a reality type show, but it was just ho-hum. Not nearly as fun as I’d hoped it would be.

I also couldn’t make it through the whole night. I only watched Lost, Scrubs, and The Daily Show. Will catch up on Betty & Grey’s over the weekend. What about Survivor? Was it on, or did they skip this week (will have to check the TiVo again)?

Lost was pretty good. Was pleasantly surprised Claire wasn’t killed in that *rocket explosion* (holy crap), although I wonder if that’s inevitably coming soon considering Aaron’s future life with Kate and there being no Claire-centric episode in the rest of S4. Fairly surprised they did kill Alex. Guess that leaves less room for a Rousseau survival (her character may have served its purpose already).

“Funny” how Sawyer dodged a barrage of bullets, but three nameless/faceless 815 “red shirts” were picked off with a single shot each. Where are the other background Locke followers, if there are any more? I wonder if our main cast members will be the only survivors by the time the O6 get off the island.

Scrubs was good. Not as hilarious as the older episodes, and I’m not convinced people would care that much about Kelso, but the show does heartfelt as well as it does funny.

Considering the mixed reviews, I’m not overly anxious to see Betty or Grey’s, especially since I feel Betty S2 has been uneven, and I’m only a moderate fan of Grey’s in the first place.

On Survivor, looking forward to seeing James & Amanda’s reactions to Parvati helping to vote off Ozzie last week. Ozzie’s skills are impressive, but in both of his seasons, he’s gotten cocky. So, I’m glad someone finally had the fortitude to vote out a strong player instead of just talking about doing it.

Glad I wasn’t the only one that was disappointed by the return of Ugly Betty–I didn’t find it particularly funny. I’m hoping that the lack of humor was really a side effect of Betty not being at Mode, instead of the changes in the writing staff that happened during the strike. We’ll see next week, I guess.

I’d disagree with you a bit on Grey’s…mainly because there didn’t seem to be much heart in the show.

I never thought I would say this, but I caught myself laughing out loud more during Grey’s then during the Office. Hopefully Grey’s can get back on track and I look forward to the “sense of hope” to restore what I used to love about Grey’s — the characters. Like you said, they been whiney and kind of annoying as of late. “Being aware of your crap and actually overcoming you crap are two very different things” — I think part 1 of this quote has been acknowledged and I look forward to them getting past it all.

The Office was a huge disappointment. I had to go back and re-watch last weeks episode to get the bad taste out of my mouth from the half hour that got us no where and was mildly amusing at best.

LOST !!!!!!! enough said.
