*Of shows that I watch. Sorry, that means no LOST, 24, etc. Should I have included True Blood and Mad Men? It feels like those were a million years ago. There are four categories, ranging from the best to the worst. As usual, totally biassed. SPOILERS. Obviously.

Totally Awesome/Loved It

1. Big Love
2. Ugly Betty
3. Gossip Girl
4. Modern Family

Big Love was my favourite finale, it delivered on everything. And they’re out now! Can’t wait for next season.

Ugly Betty. I would have loved a Daniel/Betty kiss, but you’re forgiven, everything was perfect. By the way, I’m holding prayer circles at my house every week for the movie to happen, everyone’s welcome to join.

I know what you’re thinking – Gossip Girl? Yes, this was the worst season ever, a complete disaster. BUT, the finale was perfect, reminiscent of season 1 even. Also, I’m someone who strongly believes in positive reinforcement. I did say I was going to be biassed –  I will love these characters and show no matter what. I mean, hello, Chuck Bass got shot and was left bleeding in the middle of the road a million miles away from home. Jenny is gone! At least for now. And Nate is spending the summer taking advantage of Chuck’s black book. GG earns its spot in RELATIVE terms.

I usually just lump Modern Family in with Community and The Big Bang Theory, but I laughed a million times more during the MF finale. Also, Phil wins for Best TV Dad.

Well Done/High Five!

1. United States of Tara
2. Damages
3. Californication
4. The Vampire Diaries
5. The Big Bang Theory
6. Community

United States of Tara would have been in the first category, but I’m starting to get tired of the whole “Let’s find out why Tara’s so fucked up” storyline. ALSO, OMG YOUR SISTER WAS JUST LEFT AT THE ALTER. THIS NIGHT ISN’T ABOUT YOU TARA! Seth Gabel’s storyline seems to be over, really sad. I cried myself to sleep that night. Of course he had to be a Republican! Oh and yes, I did take a million screenshots when Marshall and Lionel kissed.

Californication. GOD HANK, can’t you just stay out of trouble for five minutes? So much well-played drama in the finale. HOWEVER, how many times are we going to do Hank and Karen break up, Hank and Karen are soulmates, Hank and Karen try again, Hank screws up, Hank and Karen break up? Either keep them together or move on. Another thing – Karen, if you’re going to hate on Hank (which you have many reasons to), don’t do it for actions that were total misunderstandings, there’s only so much you can blame an idiot. That being said, Hank totally completes me.

Community – I like Jeff and Annie together.

Underwhelming/Okay

1. The Mentalist
2. The Good Wife

I’ve never been one for procedurals, but I love The Mentalist and expected a little better. Even the perfection that is Simon Baker couldn’t keep me from browsing Tumblr while I watched the finale.

The Good Wife actually was on par with the rest of its season so I guess I can’t be too hard on it. It’s just never been one of my favourites – I can’t understand why everyone has such a TV hard-on for it. I really can’t. The ending was blah to me too, OMG WILL THE GOOD WIFE STAND NEXT TO HER HUSBAND OR DECIDE TO HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH HER PITIFUL YET ATTRACTIVE CO-WORKER?! Edge of my seat for next season.

Terrible/Unnecessary/WHAT

1. Private Practice
2. Grey’s Anatomy
3. Brothers & Sisters

I thought the killing characters for no reason to create season finale drama trend was over a couple of seasons ago? I guess not. Poor Dell. First his wife dies and his house burns down. Then he dies, leaving his daughter an orphan… really? George O’Malley 2.0. An amazing season of episodes that I LOVED, all ruined in one finale.

I’ll admit, Grey’s Anatomy shouldn’t be on this list – I never watched the finale. But you know what, I couldn’t make it to the finale. This season was so terrible I had to stop watching. And I am one of the most loyal TV fans ever. Trust me. Shonda Rhimes, you need some new ideas.

Brothers & Sisters. This is the most heartbreaking one for me, B&S used to be my favourite show! Now it can barely get through an episode and apparently even the actors are over it. Rob Lowe decided he wants to move on, obviously the best solution is to kill him off, fine. But in a multi-car crash involving the whole family? And then there’s Saul who randomly has HIV. What? Not to mention, in future episodes, all cast members won’t be available for all episodes because of budget cuts. SO NO MORE WALKER FAMILY DINNERS. Ugh, just cancel it then.

I hate to end on a bitter note. And I just read over everything and feel terrible about calling Hank an idiot. So guys seriously, Hank Moody is the best ever.

Hey, hi, hello, etc. to my 3 or 4 very dedicated readers, I’ve missed you guys! It’s been exactly twenty days since I last blogged – okay, now it’s been seven days since I started this draft. Terrible right? Trust me, the last thing I think about before I go to sleep every night is “uh! I should’ve blogged!” Anyway, let’s make a list.

1. I had a birthday sometime between my last blog and this one, it was amazing, mainly because I have awesome friends, but that totally deserves its own blog (and the narcissist in me likes stretching my birthday out as long as possible).
2. Avatar deserves all the hype it’s getting, I don’t care what anyone says.
3. Rob Lowe is leaving Brothers & Sisters. I have to say, I’ve been really good about B&S, saying “ohh, they’ll be fine, just a rough patch blah blah blah”, but the episodes aren’t getting any better! And now one of my favourite characters is leaving and breaking up Robert + Kitty in the process. Why is it that all my favourite shows are in some sort of downward spiral? Must all good things really come to an end? Come on Brothers & Sisters, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!
4. On that note, kudos to Ugly Betty for actually having a really awesome season. Of course, it could be its last one, which is just too painful to think about.

   WAIT WAIT WAIT. Since starting this draft, Ugly Betty HAS been cancelled. Ugh. I’m still in mourning so it’s really hard to type this right now. I just can’t believe I’ll never see my sweet sweet Daniel Meade again after this season. Or Marc. Or Amanda. Clearly I made my top 6 cancelled shows list too soon. Why why why, for once in my whole life, can’t a creative, smart show fucking stay on the air? Anyway, R.I.P. Ugly Betty, you will be missed.

5. I’m on a Grey’s Anatomy hiatus. I’m taking a break. Maybe I’ll be back, who knows? The season started out pretty promising, but in the end, Grey’s still has that tendency to piss me off without a moment’s notice. Maybe I’m still not over George dying (and Shonda Rhimes’ need to kill off characters to make a point or whatever it is that was). Not to mention the fact that I will probably cringe at the thought of ever visiting Seattle in the future since it seems it’s always dark and raining over there.
6. Private Practice on the other hand – I can’t believe the same people are responsible for it. Every episode is like candy. My favourite show right now.
7. Since we’re on the topic of Shonda Rhimes – ANOTHER medical drama? Really? Did Shonda Rhimes have dreams of going to med school during her undergrad that were never fulfilled? I know I sound like a hypocrite, having watched Grey’s and Private Practice religiously up until now, but I think it’s safe to say we have enough medical dramas now. Are there no other careers in the world to focus on? Are creativity and originality dead? Oh wait, my bad, creative, original shows get cancelled. NEXT.
8. I have the worst midterm schedule in the history of midterm schedules and two projects due for work. So if the stress doesn’t eat me alive over the next few weeks, I might just blog again. Anyway, I leave you with my Ugly Betty tribute. I might have gotten just a little carried away screenshotting, oh well, it’s not like I have studying to do or anything.
