These Shows Need A Reunion Or Movie!

I was reading some articles online that were rumoring some shows from the 90's we're going to do a reunion, and all I could think was wow, that show was so bad why would anyone tune in for that? Then I started thinking about shows that were good enough for a reunion, but will probably never get one.

My first choice is Malcolm In The Middle. The show is about the Wilkerson family, complete with unruly boys Francis, (Christopher Kennedy Masterson) Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) Reese (Justin Berfield) and Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan) and crazy parents Hal (Bryan Cranston) and Lois (Jane Kaczmarek). These children wreck havoc on everyone and everything. They have pulled every stunt from ruining family  get together, to chasing off every babysitter they've ever had to pulled one over on teachers. No matter how old these boys get, their still pulling stunts and getting into trouble. I don't know where the writers came up with any of the material for this show, but this is a MUST see t.v. show! 



If there was ever a show in history that had warning about the show ending and the writers decided that they would ruin the show with a terrible ending it's Gilmore Girls. This was a beloved show by many, they may not have had ABC's "Lost" ratings but the fans were definitely loyal and deserved better. A movie that doesn't suck is definitely in order. There has been a lot of requests and talk about it, and up until recently it was all fans talking about it, now there is a chance it may happen and it really should. This show revolves around fast talking Lorelai Gilmore and her elegant and exceptionally bright daughter Lorelai "Rory" Gilmore in the small town they live in, Stars Hollow. Lorelai had Rory when she was 16 and decided to move out of he very wealthy parents home in Hartford CT and move to Stars Hollow, which is filled with colorful and off beat characters. Lorelai had a complicated relationship with her parents, Emily (Kelly Bishop) and Richard Gilmore (Edward Herrmann). She was not into the rich scene and thought she could do better on her own. The story opens up with Rory getting accepted into Chilton, a very prestigious prep school that Lorelai can't afford as she runs the local inn, The Independence Inn. Lorelai has to make a deal with her parents that she only sees or speaks to on major holidays. In exchange for paying for Rory's school, Lorelai and Rory have to do Friday night dinners with her parents until the loan is paid off. Along the way, you see that Loreali and Rory are extremely close, their the best of friends and they do everything together. Luke Danes (Scott Patterson) is one of the characters in the town, he owns a diner he so uniquely called "Luke's" where the Gilmores drink tons of coffee and order more food than one person should eat in a week for breakfast. Luke is very obviously in love with Lorelai but will never say anything. Other great characters include Kirk, (Sean Gunn) who is basically the town idiot and means well but creeps most people out and he works at ever establishment in Stars Hollow, Sookie St James (Melissa McCarthy) is Loreali's best friend and the cook of the Independence Inn and later her business partner, Taylor Doose (Michael Winters) is the Stars Hollow Town Selectman and also the owner of the only grocery store in town. He also annoys everyone and is VERY anal about permits and rules of the town. Christopher Hayden is Rory's flaky father, his visits are few and far between but no matter what is going on in the girl's lives and (David Sutcliffe) how stable things are when he shows up disaster strikes. All of these characters are very quirky and their interactions are genius. The show is full of small town charm, comedy and heart. Every episode is jammed packed with information due to the very fast dialogue. The ending wrapped things up but it was rushed writing and a huge let down to fans, especially those that had been watching from the pilot. So here's hoping a movie will actually be made!

Best Christmas/New Year Episodes of T.V.

There are so many t.v. shows that air holiday episodes, but not all of them truly capture the feeling of Christmas. It's rare to watch holiday t.v. and get that warm fuzzy feeling inside. Luckily though, there are a few shows that have managed to pull off amazing episodes that you can watch any time during the year and feel the holiday spirit. I've compiled a list of the best episodes.

    In season one, episode nine of "Bones": "The Man In The Fallout Shelter" truly captures the holiday spirit. This episode takes a place two days before Christmas and Angela  (Michaela Conlin) is trying to get everyone to attend the work party, but while she is trying to convince Brennan (Emily Deschanel) to attend, she receives a call from Booth (David Boreanaz ) about a murder. A happy to be off the hook Brennan and Booth show up at the crime scene, only to find that the bones were remains from 50 years ago. When Hodgins and Zack cut into the bones, the bio hazard alarms and locks the lab. That ends up leaving everyone trapped inside for the next few days and they aren't released until after Christmas has passed. This is where everyone talks about their family traditions and what they would be doing if they weren't stuck in the lab. Angela uses some of her equipment to make a 3d hologram tree and presents  undernearth it and talks Brennan into making decorations to make it slightly more holiday like. On Christmas day, every ones family's comes to visit them. With everyone being quarantined, they are stuck behind a giant glass wall and need a phone to communicate either their families. In the end, they are all finally released and everyone gets to celebrate the right way.




              This show is a bit older, but 3rd Rock From The Sun had a great Christmas episode in their second season. It was season two, episode 12, "Jolly Old St Dick". This is where the Solomon's experience their very first Christmas. Sally and Harry gets jobs at the mall, she's a gift wrapper while he is Santa's helper. Dick is really excited about Christmas, until he goes tree shopping. Tommy is panicked, looking for the perfect girl for his girlfriend, August. He took Dick's credit card and purchased many expensive girts for her so he would know what to give her depending on what she gave him. Only to find out she has decided to give him a picture of the two of them in a homemade frame. He laughed at her and told her his gift was so much better, making hers look like a joke.






                            How I Met You Mother is another show that really pulled off a great feeling. In their season season, episode 11, "How Lily Stole Christmas". As Ted and Lily are decorating the apartment for Christmas, they come across their old answering machine. Ted told Lily he had unplugged it back when Lily and Marshall were broken up because Marshall told Ted he couldn't be around it because it reminded him of how Lily would leave him messages. So they decide to plug it in since their back together now, and realize there are messages on there still. Lily plays them and realizes it was Ted giving Marshall a fell better speech, but in dong do he called Lily a horrible name. (The word Grinch is placed where "Cunt" would be). this upsets Lily because Ted won't apologize, so she takes all of the decorations and brings them to her studio. a little late in the mail. When he caught up to the mail tusk he found out that the mail man didn't have enough time to pass all packages out, so Marshall helped him so that all of those packages could be received for Christmas. Ted tracks Lily down and they fight again, he repeatedly yells "Grinch" and her landlord turns her power off for the abusive language. ted decides not to ruin the holiday for anyone else, so he goes to spend the holiday with his overly religious cousin. That turns out to be a disaster but Lily shows up to apologize, after she gets her gift from Marshall and he tells her that Ted suggested the gift, because he remembered her mentioning back in college that she always wanted an Easy Bake Oven as a child. Meanwhile, Marshall told everyone that he was working on a paper and didn't want to celebrate Christmas until he was done. But he was really going to pick up a gift he purchased for Lily that was running a little late in the mail. When he caught up to the mail tusk he found out that the mail man didn't have enough time to pass all packages out, so Marshall helped him so that all of those packages could be received for Christmas. Ted tracks Lily down and they fight again, he repeatedly yells "Grinch" and her landlord turns her power off for the abusive language. ted decides not to ruin the holiday for anyone else, so he goes to spend the holiday with his overly religious cousin. That turns out to be a disaster but Lily shows up to apologize, after she gets her gift from Marshall and he tells her that Ted suggested the gift, because he remembered her mentioning back in college that she always wanted an Easy Bake Oven as a child.


            

Shows that need to be saved!

There are so many great shows today, but they aren't promoted correctly, or are put in the same time slot as already established shows. It's sad that great shows are cancelled before they get the chance to grow, while shows drunkin promiscuous baboons is kept on t.v. season after season. One show that I had heard of and that was going to be a terrible show, was actually pretty good once I sat down to watch it, is Chuck. the show revolves around Chuck Bartowski, (Zachary Levi) your typical dork, working at a Buy More (same idea as a Best Buy) working in the Nerd Herd (Geek Squad) receives an e-mail from his ex college roommate sends him an e-mail full of private CIA and NSA files, called the Intersect. When Chuck opens the e-mail, all files flash one by one and ends up uploading all of the information in Chuck's mind, turning him into a human intersect. Once he is tracked down he has a CIA handler, Sarah Walker (Yvonna Strahovski) and an NSA handler, John Casey (Adam Baldwin). Since the intersect was destroyed after it was uploaded into Chuck's mind, he had to go on missions w/Walker and Casey, as Chuck "flashes" when he sees a person or an object that is the intersect has information about. He is able to help them identify things or people and take down the bad guys. you also see how had it is for Chuck to keep up with living a double life. Especially when it comes to ling to his sister whom he lives with, Ellie (Sarah Lancaster) and her boyfriend Devon Woodcome a.k.a. Captain Awesome (Ryan McPartlin). The Buy more is full of misfits that are almost always coming close to uncovering Chuck's secret. As the story progresses you learn that Chuck's parents are spies, and that is why Chuck was sent the intersect in the first place. As each episode goes by, the characters become more and more lovable and the story really reels you in. This show is a must see to understand. The second show that shows a lot of promise but hasn't been confirmed for a second season, is Harry's Law. Another Monday night NBC show in danger of being cancelled. Kathy Bates stars as Harriet Corn, who quit her Patton Lawyer job at 60 to start her own Criminal Law Firm. Her new firm is in an old high end shoe store in the ghetto. There were a ton of shoes left over, so now Harry has her office assistant, Jenna Backstorm (Brittany Snow) selling the shoes to give everyone a paycheck. Another lawyer that woks in her firm is Adam Branch (Nathan Corddry). He is rather annoying in the beginning but is very passionate about his job and truly believes in justice. Also working in the office is a young man, Damien Winslow (Johnny Ray Gill), who works off the books for many local businesses. They pay him to make sure that their establishments are kept safe. Malcolm Davies (Aml Ameen) is in school to become a lawyer, so he helps on most cases. There is more drama in this office that any office should every have. All of these employees are constantly bringing their personal problems to work, or having problems because of work. that leaves a reluctant Harry to pick up the pieces, something she frowns upon whole-heatedly. During one of the first cases we get to see, we meet Tommy Jefferson (Christopher McDonald). He is a very high profile lawyer. He turns all of his cases into a huge public events, with press conferences and commercials. He is one of the most annoying characters ever, but that eventually beings to fade as his layers are peeled off one by one. Harry always ends up with poor people needing assistance in court that can not pay her. That does not stop her though. She almost always wins her cases and truly wins the jury over. There are rival lawyers that Harry meets along the way that end up playing major roles in her life. Aside from the drama and the stress, the show is great. It's much better than I was expecting.
