Life on 30 Rock in Smallville’s ER
It’s now mid October which means the new seasons of TV shows have premiered and taken over my life. Unlike last season with Gossip Girl, Private Practice, and Dirty Sexy Money, I only have one new show to add to my list of TV to watch (I’m not counting Pushing Daisies since that premiered last season and I watched all 9 episodes in September). That new show? Life on Mars, Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC (seriously-watch it). I have never seen the British version so I have nothing to compare the US version to which means I can watch it without being conflicted. The US version is amazing – great cast, interesting premise, amazing music, and a good mix of humor and drama. Plus I kinda love Michael Imperioli (CHRISTOFUH!!!) and Jason O’Mara while I have a respect for Harvey Keitel especially when he’s not naked (watching The Piano in the Bobst library was not fun). Only 2 episodes have premiered and I’m already hooked. I feel bad since I can’t contribute to it’s ratings due to the fact that it’s on at the same time as ER’s final season and I don’t have a Nielsen Box – I deserve a Nielsen Box due to all the TV I watch. I add ratings to a lot of shows, thank you very much – so I’m hoping people continue to watch it on Thursday nights and make sure it gets a full season pickup. And hopefully I’ll be able to stalk this set and Gossip Girl’s set when I’m in NYC next week. Fingers crossed. As for what I watch every week? Here’s the rundown. And if you think it looks bad, you should have seen it years ago when Buffy, Angel, Veronica Mars and Arrested Development were also there (and when I used to watch Grey’s Anatomy, The Office, and House before I became bored with them) – a ton of shows conflicted which explains the huge amount of VHS tapes I now own. Enjoy!
