Survivor Exile Island Premieres Tonight

I’ve never really watched Survivor. I tried to get into it the very first season but halfway through the first episode I saw Richar Hatch naked, and I’ve never really been the same.

At the urging of some GMMR.com readers, I’m going to give it a shot. Some of the new twists of this season, including Exile Island has got be intrigued. So, I’ll be watching tonight’s premiere of Survivor. If you are, and want to talk about it during or after the show, I’ve set up a thread for it in the GMMR forums.

Did You Watch Veronica Mars?

So I told you to watch Veronica Mars last night. Did you? Well, did you? Don’t lie to me – I’ll see the ratings soon enough. If you were involved in some tragic accident that kept you away from watching Ms. Mars, don’t fret, the latest Veronica Mars recap is available in the forums.

If you did watch, then you know how kick ass last night’s episode was. Could Weevil and Logan be my new favorite couple? A little more quality time together and those two are going to need a moniker. Lovil? Weegan?

I’m already looking forward to next week. Thanks to the fabulous Sienna, you can get a glimpse into what’s happening next week on Veronica Mars.

“Ain’t No Magic Mountain High Enough” — When all of the proceeds for the senior class trip disappear while in her possession during the Neptune High Winter Carnival, Veronica must identify the clever thief among them and surprisingly finds herself defending Jackie as accusations fly.

Meanwhile, Keith confronts his baseball idol and client Terrance Cook (guest star Jeffery Sams) with questions about his past and the bus crash. Later, Dick tries to humiliate Beaver in front of his carnival date as Logan sets his sights on a sophomore. (ed. boo hiss…Duncan finally leaves and Logan eyes a sophomore? C’mon.) VERONICA MARS, Wednesday, Feb. 8 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on UPN.

And since we are talking about Veronica Mars, let me take this opportunity to pimp my upcoming interview with Jason Dohring. This is your LAST CHANCE to submit your questions here.

No Place for Alias on ABC Schedule

You know why TV shows don’t have the longevity of yesteryear? Because the networks have a bunch of number crunching bozos in charge setting the schedules. How are TV watchers suppose to become loyal to a show when the schedule is constantly being shifted? Not one of my favorite shows has had a “normal” season over the past few years. And by normal I mean it comes on in September, exits in May and stays on the same night and time throughout the season. More than once I have sat down to watch a particular show only to find out that it’s on a different night and time, and oh by the way, now up against another of my must see shows. I’m getting sick of it.

So what’s the catalyst for my nonsensical and poorly written rant? Well ABC just announced its midseason schedule, and lo and behold, there is no space for Alias anywhere on it. Yes, Alias, the same show that has been on hiatus for months with a promised return in March. The same show that is scheduled to end in May after a 5 year run. And yes, the very same show that according to ABC big wigs, deserved a proper send off. ABC Entertainment President, Stephen McPherson, had this to say just a few months ago:

“Alias’ is not going to wind down as it comes to an end, it’s going to rev up, and we’re going to make it the event it deserves to be.”

Sounds like your are really committed to this show Steve!! So committed that you couldn’t put in on the schedule. I’m sure the new shows that are premiering midseason will be great. Just as great as “Emily’s Reasons Why Not”. Way to go on that one Steve-O. Why can’t they just put Alias on the schedule, and let me have some sense of closure for a show that I have committed to for over 5 years now. And seriously, if I don’t get a Michael Vartan fix soon, I’m going to snap.

Grey’s Anatomy Casting Scoop

The following contains a mini-spoiler for Grey’s Anatomy. Proceed with caution.

We’ve got a hot new man at Seattle Grace Hospital, but he’s less McDreamy and more McSlimy. Eric Dane (Charmed) is set to stir things up as Mark, the former best friend of Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd, and former lover of McDreamy’s wife, Addison. If you remember it was Addison’s affair with Mark that drove Derek out of NYC and into Meredith’s bed.

Why Mark would come all the way to stir up trouble for the Drs. Shepherd, I don’t know, but it’s certain to cause a bump in the Drs’ already shaky path to reconciliation.

I just hope the writers don’t put Mark & Meredith together because (a) that’s so cliche, and (b) poor George can’t take much more of Meredith’s sexual conquests with men that aren’t, well, him.

Veronica Mars Need Your Help..and Your Eyes!

Veronica Mars needs your help…”shocker” (ha)! If you remember, last week I was bitching that Veronica Mars was preempted in Boston in favor of a college basketball game. Well come to find out, this was this case in many markets across the country. The result was a nose dive in ratings for Veronica Mars.

With the upcoming merger of The WB and UPN, this is a crucial time for Ronnie and her friends. They need to prove that they belong on the new CW network. This is where you come in. You must, must, must watch Veronica Mars tonight….live. If you normally TiVo VM and watch Lost, flip it and reverse it. The Losties and the Tailies don’t need your eyes, they are just fine without you for tonight.

Tonight sounds like it’s going to be another stellar ep, here’s what’s happening:

Wallace (Percy Daggs III) turns to pal Veronica (Kristen Bell) for assistance when a star player from his former Chicago high school basketball team — and the guy’s shady uncle — falsely accuse Wallace of driving the car in a hit-and-run accident.

In the meantime, Veronica and Keith (Enrico Colantoni) stumble upon evidence that links Jackie’s (Tessa Thompson) dad Terrance (returning guest star Jeffrey Sams), a baseball legend, with the teacher that died in the bus crash.

Later, looking for proof that would tie his gang with the Fighting Fitzpatricks mob, Weevil (Francis Capra) asks Veronica to bug Father Fitzpatrick’s (guest star Rod Rowland) confessional at the local church. She’s a busy girl, our Veronica.

Britney to Guest on Will & Grace

My friends over at AllThisNonsense.com are reporting that Britney Spears is going to be a guest star on an upcoming episode of Will & Grace. She’s going to play some kind conservative Christian cook on Jack’s, Out TV.

Will & Grace is ending its run in a mere matter of months. With a precious few epsiodes left, I have to wonder why they chose to devote some of that time to Britney Spears?! Don’t they know that she is ovah?! But then again, it’s indicative of the direction Will & Grace has been heading the past two years. Ouch! Sorry, but the mighty has fallen.

Josh Jackson Coming Back to TV in New Legal Drama

My day just got a little bit brighter. According to TV Guide, my #1 TV boyfriend*, Josh Jackson, is coming back to TV. Oh happy day!!! Jackson, best known for playing Pacey Witter on Dawson’s Creek, is set to star in CSI exec producer Carol Mendelsohn’s CBS pilot about brilliant legal associates at a powerful D.C. law firm. Pacey as a lawyer? In a suit? Give me a moment to enjoy that visual.

Update: To those of you who have sent me emails, please let me clarify. Josh Jackson is my #1 TV boyfriend, and has been for quite some time. Pacey & I have a history. That does not in anyway diminish my love for John Krasinski. But I appreciate your emails all the same. Ha Ha!
