As Seen On TV

Ok, here are some random TV thoughts. Spoilers ahead.

The Office has been uneven this season, but I did thoroughly enjoy the wedding of my beloved Jim and Pam. Last week's mafia episode was almost completely unfunny. The honeymooning Jim and Pam were sorely missed. It was kind of sad that the funniest bits were when Jim and Pam were on the phone. How many times do I plan to type Jim and Pam in this paragraph?

Yes, Michael is a dolt, but I just don't buy that Dwight and Andy believed that the insurance salesman was actually in the mafia. Really? It was too big of a stretch to believe that they'd believe it and that they were also able to convince Michael too. Fail.

On a side note, Cartoon Network is airing the original British version of The Office during Adult Swim every Friday.

Say what you will about the shorty season of Top Model, but this edition features some of the most model-esque candidates to date. Nicole, Laura and to a lesser degree Erin and Rae...I'm talking to y'all! This competition is entirely Nicole's to win. If she can't manage it, as she does have some quirky personality issues, then country sweetheart Laura will surely prevail.

Karma isn't the only bitch on this show. There is a clique of girls who constantly bad mouth the rest of the models. Ashley, Kara and Sundai continually trash the other girls and they seem oblivious to their own poor performances. Ashley is gone, Kara just got the boot and Sundai was in the bottom 2 and now stands alone. Clique party of one, clique party of one...

Best o' the week: The Vampire Diaries and The Big Bang Theory tie. The Vampire Diaries Stefan/Katherine/Damon origin story was amazing! The Big Bang Theory also wins for the best use of Wil Wheaton on TV since Star Trek The Next Generation. Worst o' the week: Saturday Night Live. How can the dress-rehearsal-blooper-flashbacks from the years gone by be the funniest part of the entire show? How?

2 Vampires, A Wedding and A Moon Bombing...

Ok, so The Vampire Diaries is my surprise TV obsession of the 2009 season.  The show delivers on action, suspense, romance, quippy crackling dialogue and the age old tale of good and evil between two vampire brothers.  The stakes are raised with each episode and I really like how the series is developing.  Yeah, I know...I'm like a 12 year-old girl.

Jim and Pam finally got married on The Office!!  I'm not gonna lie, I have been excited about this wedding since they appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly a couple of weeks ago.  The promo campaign snatched me by my heartstrings too.  Dysfunctional shenanigans abounded at the rehearsal dinner and wedding featuring Andy, Michael, Dwight and even Kevin.  Thankfully, Jim and Pam remained the heart of the event.  Jim's rehearsal dinner fumble was an unexpected layer.  The "plan c" was a nice touch and a perfect start for Mr. & Mrs. Halpert.

Wait, we are blasting the moon?  Doesn't anyone remember Space 1999?
