We’ll steal a car and crash in the ocean

I started watching United States of Tara last night and love it so far! When I saw that Diablo Cody is one of the creators/producers, I went ughhh in my head, but I take that back now! Of course, it helps that John Corbett, aka Aidan/perfect dude from Sex and the City who I would have picked over Big ANY DAY plays Tara’s husband. The show is good too though. If you haven’t heard of it – Tara has multiple personalities – three in addition to herself: Buck, Alice, and T. I love that Max sleeping with one of the other personalities would be considered cheating. And that Buck calls Marshall Marsha.

Next up, Secret Diary of a Call Girl. I broke my number one rule and started on season 2. BUT that’s all they had on demand okay. Whatever. Not as promising as US of Tara, but I’m warming up to it. One thing – I can’t differentiate between Hannah’s ex and her new guy. Ben and Alex. They look virtually the same! I keep going oh that’s Alex, wait, why is she talking to him about her work, I thought he doesn’t know!! OH, never mind, that’s actually Ben. Also, BAMBI is unbearable. I want to scream STFU at her every time she comes on screen.
Anyway, aside from new shows on my to-do list, Gossip Girl is coming back tomorrow! In my heart of hearts, I know the rest of the season is probably going to be as disappointing as the first half, but I do have a morsel of hope left. I mean, Chuck finally has a major storyline and Blair is apparently going from “victim to vixen” – Josh Schwartz’s words, not mine. So we’ll see. I have my fingers crossed. Also, ten points for this overdramatic, soap opera trailer Gossip Girl, well done.
Speaking of Gossip Girl, I think what would really redeem it for me, is if Jenny were to die a gruesome, tragic death in the season finale. Take note CW. We’re over her.
