The 5 Best Network TV Shows that You are NOT Watching

The 5 Best TV Shows that You are NOT Watching 5) Dollhouse (Fox)
Dollhouse is the new show from Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, featuring in the leading role Buffy’s alumn Eliza Dushku (Buffy’s Faith) as Caroline
Catch Dollhouse Fridays at 9pm on FOX or watch it online at Hulu.com
4) Heroes
At the start of the second half of season three, Heroes has more focused story lines, more time to develop characters and story that we do care about. Don’t trust me, look at HRG’s and Sandra’s fight on the episode: Turn and Face the Strange. Although, Heroes producers, want to make Heroes fan really happy, kill Mohinder and Hiro, and stop killing our favorite blondes, Elle (Kristen Bell), Daphne (Bea Grant) and Nikki/Jessica/Tracy (Ali Larter) – although I’m pretty sure Ali Larter will be back as Barbara next season. Catch Heroes Mondays at 9pm on NBC or watch it online at Hulu.com or at www.nbc.com/heroes
3) 30 Rock (NBC)
It seems like it bares repeating – thought it shouldn’t – how funny Tina Fey is. Just look at her past work on Saturday Night Live (SNL) or the movie Mean Girls and Baby Mamma (although she didn’t write it). Tina Fey is one funny lady and she brings all her wits, charms and smarts to 30 Rock. The show deals with the behind-the-scenes of an SNL type of show where the writers are some lazy goofballs, the stars are starved for attention (which when they don’t get they act out in hilarious ways), the top executive is – well Alec Baldwin – and the page is a southern gullible guy who’s fascinated with television. 30 Rock has a constant spree of guest stars, which although welcomed, are not really needed. The show with or without them is hilarious and it uses their characters and story to their limits and then some. There’s a reason why this show won so many awards and so have Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.

Catch 30 Rock Thursdays at 9:30 pm on NBC or watch it online at Hulu.com.
2) Samantha Who? (ABC)
Samantha Who? stars’ Christina Applegate, as woman who after having an accident wakes up with amnesia to learn that she’s not close to her family, only has one real friend, her ex hates her and that she was a complete bitch. Now, she’s trying to make amends while figuring out who she really is. The show is really funny and the characters are all screwed up one way or the other. Samantha’s two friends Andrea (Jennifer Esposito) and Dena (Melissa McCarthy) act, respectively, as her evil angel/ good angel on her shoulders. I have to say that Jennifer Esposito’s performance is truly outstanding. As good/evil Samantha will say: “give it a go, give a try – or bitch don’t bother and let me be”

Catch Samantha Who? Thursday at 8:30pm on ABC or watch it online at www.abc.com
1) Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
As everyone else has already done, let’s forget that Terminator 3 existed. Now imagine you have watched Terminator 2 – which you probably already did with the new Terminator movie: Terminator Salvation coming out soon – and remember how great movie that was. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles follows Sarah Connor and John Connor after the events of the second film as they continue to go underground and fight Skynet. A new terminator, Cameron (Summer Glau, shold win an award for her role, flawless) is sent to protect John (Thomas Dekker). It’s easy to assume that a show called Terminator, will feature a “terminator of the week” on every episode and it’s my duty to let you know that they don’t. The show is smart, fast paced and pushes the terminator mythology to a great lengths. This show, also shows us (no pun) how John Connor went from the John on Terminator 2 to the leader of the resistance and the influence that Sarah (a fantastic Lena Headey), his mom, has on him and what she would do to protect him.
Catch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Friday’s on FOX at 8pm or watch it online at Hulu.com

Vermont Legalizes Gay Marriage

Today, Tuesday April 7, 2009, Vermont legalized Gay Marriage, joining three other states, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa. Iowa legalized gay marriage earlier this week, being the first Midwestern state to grant gay marriage rights.

Vermont is the first state to grant gay marriage by a legislature vote (guess they read my post: Gays are Destroying the Sanctity of Marriage. Really?) , Vermont was also the first state to grant civil-union rights.

“The House recorded a dramatic 100-49 vote — the minimum needed — to override Gov. Jim Douglas’ veto. Its vote followed a much easier override vote in the Senate, which rebuffed the Republican governor with a vote of 23-5.” Vermont legalizes gay marriage with veto override, Los Angeles Times.

Will this give a much needed fuel to California to override Proposition 8? We’ll have to wait and see, but hopefully it will.
