Rejoice! Tonight’s episode of The Vampire Diaries is a definite step up from the past two weeks. Stefan and Elena become “official,” though Bonnie has her misgivings. Caroline goes MIA after her escapade with the older, more mysterious Salvatore brother. Is she a vampire too, now? Oh and of course, Damon still has something evil up his sleeve…

Yes, that’s right…when in doubt, do a road show. In this case, take the worst travel companions you’ve ever had…crying babies, whiny teenagers, bickering couples, grumpy old seniors…then multiply by five and add alcohol. Lots of alcohol.
11:00 AM on a Tuesday, and Dennis has hitched a trailer to his truck for a trip to Arizona. Frank wants to see the Grand Canyon before he dies, Charlie has never been out of Philly, and “Old School” Dennis refuses to use a GPS.

If you’ve watched ABC recently, you’ve probably seen the advertisements for this show. Mysterious and action-packed, they’ve been pushing the “2 minutes, 17 seconds” tagline for a while now, and given the buzz for the show, the tactic seems to have worked. Chances are, with its stellar cast and intriguing plot, FlashForward will have a great shot at being everything ABC wants it to be.
We open on our main character, Mark Benford, lying confused and bloody in what turns out to be his overturned car. He emerges into a hellish scene of accidents and dead bodies- and cue the title screen. Afterward, we go back to the past, where his wife’s note saying “I hate you” is apparently a sign of love.

What’s up Grey’s Anatomy fans? It’s been a long summer but we’re back, baby! Who will live? Who will die? Who will sleep with whom? All these questions and many, many more wait for you in the new season of *drum roll please*… Grey’s Anatomy!
Also, I’m going to try something new. Instead of longggg paragraph reviews I’m gonna try this in uber-summarized time line form to see if that’s more palatable to my awesome readers. Within this timeline I’ll ask questions for my readers to answer in the comment section. If you like the new format, or if you think it sucks and I should never, ever do it again, you should also leave that in the comments.
Ok, let’s get this party started- whoop whoop!

I love coming in to a new season of television. Everyone has new haircuts, or they’ve done something new with their appearances, and they just all look shiny. But some things – like Jane – never change. In the cold open alone, he uses his amazing ESP to find a murder weapon, and his powers of observation thereof to pinpoint the murderer… who promptly causes $4,000 in damages trying to get away. I told you some things don’t change.

Michael is having a colonoscopy. He calls Oscar in for a consult on what he should expect and whether or not he should have a “safe word”. And that, kids, is your cringe moment of the day.

When we last left Gary … oh let’s be honest, no one really remembers Gary except for him bickering with his ex-wife (Allison) whom he did the deed with in the season finale and that he had a hottie for an on/off girlfriend for most of last season who randomly showed up every now and then. However, little Tommy did grow up over the summer. And Uncle Mitch is staying with the family … blazing shirts and all. New story lines, yay! It’s hard to even remember if Krandall left or not. I miss Krandall … he was more than just a therapist, he was comic relief.
