Crushing on Cupid

There is something about Greek mythology that I can't get enough of.  I love the approach this ABC show took using Greek mythology.

A HOT main male character as "Cupid" plus many more attractive characters equals a key trait for a highly successful show. 

He is the god of love sent to earth to bring 100 couples together but no body believes him. Don't worry Trevor - I believe you.

Matchmaking and television have clearly become a popular team. This show is different because it's not a reality show like Bravo's "Millionaire Matchmaker" and Vh1's "Tough Love" but you never know if he will make a match or not on each episode.

This story line is original and intriguing while it still succeeds in having a hint of fact behind it with the Greek mythology.

I hope that Trevor and Claire eventually end up together and she becomes Cupid's wife as they hinted too recently in an episode.

I love the idea of that working out but I am that hopeless romantic that always roots for the 'happily ever after' ending.

This show could go on for a million season's and I would love it. Here's to hoping.

Grey's Anatomy - The Second Wedding

As the second wedding on Grey's Anatomy quickly approaches, this website about the fictional wedding of Meredith and Derek got 1400 RSVP's in the first 24 hours. 

This was a brilliant idea, a little weird but brilliant. They ask you to donate money to charities in lieu of gifts. Not only does this site promote the show, it is also philanthropic.

We all know how the first Grey's wedding turned out. Poor Cristina got ditched by Burke (but we also all know that the real reason for that was real life words between the actors who play george and burke) anyways - that wedding did not have a happy ending.

We have seen everything Mere and Dere have gone through and we've been with them through their whole relationship. Obviously we want 'happily ever after' for them, right?

I don't know about you, but I want this wedding to be a success. Knowing Grey's Anatomy - it can go either way. 

In a few days we will know when the wedding happens on the 100th episode. Can't wait!

Unusual new show - The Unusuals

This new ABC show is witty and just plain unusual. 

I'm not sure if I quite get the story line of "The Unusuals" yet. 

I wouldn't call it brilliant but its a pretty good show. I would say it has it's moments. 

This police drama, set in New York City, is about the homicide department. It's a quirky show with a lot of zany detectives. 

What bugs me about this show is that it so unusual that it does not appear to have much truth or fact behind it. 

While I love Lost which i could describe the same way, it's different because when you have a setting like a police department - you have an actual opportunity to have some truth and fact.

Personally, I do not think this show will last very long but it's entertaining enough for me to keep watching so you never know.

Welcome to ABCastle

Castle is a new show on ABC and so far a GREAT show.

What I look for in a new show is simple - something new. 

This show is about a murder novelist, Castle,who starts solving real murders with detectives - which is something I haven't seen before.

The show has so many aspects - it's scary and has mystery, it's funny and intriguing - there's great chemistry and a new dynamic I have not seen thus far in a show. 

It's like CSI Miami (which I love) but it's better. The murders are so original. Not only does it have the aspect of solving murders but it has a great story line of characters.

This show is going to be big - I can feel it.

Desperate Housewife Electrocuted

It was known that one of the "Desperate Housewives" would be killed off this season.

However, I was not expecting it to be Edie and I was not expecting her to survive a choking and a car accident but then get electrocuted.

Talk about a streak of events of bad luck.

Maybe she survives the electrocution too - but I think it's unlikely.

So, I stumbled upon a personality quiz called 'Which Housewife are you?' and apparently I am Susan.

This quiz pegged me head on when it says, "You believe in living in the moment, from impulse to impulse. Some of those sudden whims make you the fun, spontaneous, creative person you are. But then again, you're often left explaining just how you jumped to the wrong conclusion, again. Sometimes planning is your friend. But on the other hand, why not leave that type of thing to the people who are good at it?"

That's surprisingly accurate for an online quiz.

Any other "Desperate Housewives" fan's should take this quiz and find out a little more about yourself. Let's just hope no one gets Edie as their answer, cause we all now know how her story ends.

The Bachelor's Ex-Fiance Melissa Rycroft and Playboy?

According to Star Magazine, Playboy might be in Melissa Rycroft's future.

The problem is - Melissa signed a contract for ABC's hit show "Dancing with the Stars". 

The contract prohibits her from posing nude during the show and for the three months after it's finale. 

By the time that rolls around, she very well could be yesterday's news of reality TV. I hope not - but by then we might be saying - Melissa who?

We will just have to wait and see if Melissa will be exposing her birthday suit.

The Next Bachelorette is . . .

The next Bachelorette is Jillian Harris, one of the three finalist on this past season of "The Bachelor" with Jason Mesnick.

With the dramatic ending of "The Bachelor", I was so blinded by my anger towards Jason, that I didn't talk about the announcement of the next season.

Jillian seemed like an obvious choice for the next Bachelorette. The only reason it's surprising is because they have always chosen the runner-up, not someone who didn't make it to the finale. Whatever their reason's are, it was a good choice. 

The next season of "The Bachelorette" is coming sooner than I thought and I'm excited to watch this down-to-earth interior designer from Canada fall in love. Get ready because it premieres May 18 on ABC. 

You know what really Grinds my Gears . . .

We all know what grinds Peter Griffins gears and now you are all about the hear what really Grinds MY Gears?

1. When Jason Mesnick (The Bachelor) is crying after choosing to break up with Melissa. I don't understand - why are you crying? You made that decision and if you knew deep down in your heart that it was the right decision for you than you wouldn't be crying! Grr.

2. The possibility that the ABC network was behind this whole crazy ending.

3. That a guy (Jason Mesnick) can say "I love you, I want to spend my life with you, I want to make you happy" and then take it all back only WEEKS later. How can you say goodbye to someone that you said all those things to?

4. The fact that Jason didn't even try and talk to her and work through things with her. The second he started having doubts, how could he not talk to her about it and fight and see what they can do to fix it. Just because things are a little different, how could he not want to try if he really loves her and really cared that much about her?

5. That because of my uncontrollable curiosity and Reality Steve, I was NOT in complete shock when I watched the finale of "The Bachelor".

6. The crowd at the "After the Final Rose - Part 2" was cheering when Jason walked in. I just wanted to scream BOOO!!!

7. and finally, that after watching this all go down - I can't even personally give Mr. Mesnick a piece of my mind. There are a lot of things I would like to say to Jason, starting with SHAME ON YOU! So Jason, if you are ever in the mood to hear a fan and outsiders view - you can always find me here.
