Coco Scene! American Idol ...and other TV tidbits..

Let's see... In TV...

I have to admit, I am a complete addict of certain shows that do not have the passionate components of "most watched" dramedies on TV. I blame my loyalty to Masterpiece (Classic)Theater and Mystery! on my college seriousness... but who wants to discuss the bittersweetness of Cranford?!

We will dive into the blissfully non reality of fab TV...

First up..

Dancing with the Stars:

Congrats Kristi!!!



I didn't ... unlike the rest of America... really care for this season of Dancing with the Stars...the cast to me was a bit lackluster... Priscilla Presley was down right scary to look at .. bless her heart... but

Love Kristi Yamaguchi... she looks better after having 2 kids than she did when she was skating... you cannot help but respect that.


American Idol...

Yes, David C is more talented. Yes, David C has more charisma... especially now that he has dropped a little weight and gotten rid of the comb over look. However...

David C. made some awful song choices! I kept hoping he might try Nickelback (I Wanna Be a Rock Star) but it could have easily been unavailable to him... who knows..

Still - his performance was less than stellar.

David A - did really well with what he has got. Although... he should have reprised Angels at the piano. I think it may have been his best performance overall... when he really connected.



The bottom line is that David A had his game on.

We'll see who wins... what do I know?! I still think Michael Johns is better than both Davids.



Then there is....Grey's Anatomy.. of course!



Derek had sex with Rose... who seems very nice for a definite transitional person.. McDreamy recounts the incident to McSteamy and confides... "I thought about Meredith the whole time".. does that mean we forgive him? At least when Meredith went off the Vet (Chris O'Donnell), Derek was still married and trying to make it work?

Where is the adorable Vet now? Meredith needs a suitor to remind him that it doesn't go both ways..

another note... the whole Isiah Washington thing is "so whatever"... on Grey's they used the fired actor's picture and character's story line ... Dr. Burke found fame and fortune in leaving the hospital... blah..blah..blah.. Now, Washington is filing a grievance... blah blah blah... Shonda came up the character and story lines and it is just petty of him to have a fit...if he had just watched his words... we would have all been better off... now the whole F-bomb has caused 2 seperate unnecessary story lines about homosexuality in Grey's (the dying soldier and Dr. Hahn).

The kiss would have been a bigger deal if it would have involved characters we really care about..

Alex is crazy to take on crazy... no surprise... he likes the whole rescue thing if you remember the issues with Izzie.

Just waiting for Der and Mer reunion...

Toodles!

Coco Scene! Greys, Movies, TGIF!!

Yes, I watched Grey's Anatomy...What has Kate Walsh done with her hair?! Fire that stylist - that must be same one that chose this hideous red carpet hairstyle... Kate, darling, go back to the red, silky hair.. the dark, goth layers do NOT work.

Truthfully, McDreamy is losing his touch ... although when Meredith and McDreamy shook hands after surgery my heart did skip a beat just a little.. looking forward to Mer-Der reunion on May 22nd.

The whole Dr. Hahn homosexuality is soo whatever... there must be someone for poor "straight" Dr. Torres... pleez

On a happier note... so many movies we are looking forward to this month:

First there is Made of Honor:



Plan to enjoy Patrick Dempsey without Shonda Rhimes writing him!


Sex and the City!!! May 30th:



We will be shocked if Carrie and Big actually marry... not just plan the wedding ...but make a real commitment! My guess is the only happily ever after will go to Charlotte...





Indiana Jones.. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! May 22nd:




Thank Gawd it is Friday! Hand me my Grey Goose Salty Dog ...

Toodles!

Coco Scene! Grey's Anatomy is Back!!!

Woo hooo.. reality tv marathon is over!!! Real television is returning...



I could not wait to watch last night's Grey's... Disappointed... didn't like Derek... McSteamy was pretty funny. But the most annoying thing I think was Meredith... did you see how horrible her skin looked? It was completely distracting!!!

Get thee to an esthetologist!!! Get a facial... They do have them in L.A. I've heard...

Although.. Rose's hair thing was rather noticeable.. I hear that Rogaine can do wonders for female baldness fortunately! Bless her rebound girl heart...

Toodles!

Coco Scene! AI, Angie baby, McDreamy... and all that Jazz..

Looking forward to hot.. hot.. Star Dad.. Patrick Dempsey.. aka, McDreamy... Joining us again on Thursday!!! At last! But... we are looking even more foward to Made of Honor (out May 2nd!).. Over an hour of Patrick Dempsey ...



Did you hear about what he did during the writers' strike?

from USA today
During his writers'-strike-induced hiatus from Grey's Anatomy, which returns with new episodes Thursday (ABC, 9 p.m. ET/PT), Patrick Dempsey whisked wife Jill away for a romantic Italian getaway. No kids. No cameras. And no reporters.

The couple, married since 1999, took in a fashion show in Milan; then, in Lake Como, they were among many marveling at the waterfront estate of that city's most famous resident: George Clooney.


He is so dreamy - even unscripted...



On another note... yes ... rumor has it that Angie (baby and all) and Brad are planning a small intimate wedding this summer (Junish - we hear). The ceremony is supposedly non religious... and her father, Jon Voight (who Angie ex-communicated when he implicated that his daughter might be a little nuts..) is said to be walking her down the aisle... we will see... whatever the case... the couple is soo absolutely Louis Viutton Luggage in a third world country... pretentious playing Peace Corps..


Okay, Okay...American Idol does Andrew Lloyd Webber...

No I did not watch it in real time...after what they did to Michael Johns??? No way can deal with Seacrest and the sad choices that America makes... looked it over this morning on YouTube..


An evening of bad song choices... and surprises... this should have been "Theme Park Singer", David Archuleta's night... but it was absolutely Syesha's. Here is how it should have gone...

David Archuleta should have sung "That's all I Ask of You" or "Music of The Night" instead his performance was forgettable.

David Cook should have done Jesus Christ Superstar... whereas Carly should have done "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"...Jason Castro...should have been the one to do an accoustic guitar version of "Think of Me".

And Brooke...Why?! Why! Why didn't you do the song "I Don't Know How to Love Him"?!!! It would have been absolutely perfect for you???

It makes no sense to me... but then neither did casting Michael Johns away...





The night went as it did..Syesha won this round.. no question. I have always thought that Syesha was a bit of the New York school of Fame - ish.. so Broadway should work for her. The loser... David Archuleta.. he should have solidified his lead... at this point ... I think it is anybody's game.

Toodles!

Oh the Drama -Not on Grey's Anatomy

What happened to Shonda Rhimes??? Last weeks Grey's Anatomy was...BORING.



McDreamy is being turned into a commitment phobic, typical guy. Georgey is the new romantic lead...
And the beginning of Private Practice was less than exciting.

We actually took a phone call during the show without fear of missing something good....deleted from Tivo before watching the program a 2nd time.


Losing Interest... quickly!

McDreamy being a jerk just doesn't do it for us... we have a feeling it will only get worse.

Toodles.

Private Practice for Grey's Anatomy...

Kate Walsh and Taye Diggs in Private Practice??

From BuddyTV:

Private Practice', is the name the Grey's Anatomy spin off will be called by for now, but ABC exec's are quick to caution that this may change. The two hour episode set to sample the themes of the series will debut May 10th, but don't think of it as a pilot. Grey's Anatomy is riding a high enough wave at this point that the second series is virtually a lock whether the initial sample piques interests or not.


The Storyline from the Defamer:
Following her recent disastrous romantic misfortunes, Addison (Kate Walsh) travels to Santa Monica to seek advice from her old medical school pals, Naomi (Merrin Dungey) and Jackson (Taye Diggs) whom she believes have it all: a beautiful teenage daughter, a great marriage and a highly successful health cooperative.

Addison quickly learns that Jackson, also a successful TV health guru, has divorced Naomi. During the visit, Addison also meets the rest of the gang at the cooperative: a widowed alternative medicine doctor, a self-doubting therapist, and a male gynecologist who knows little about women, and realizes she is on familiar ground.

Addison concludes that the personal lives of the people around her may be a mess, but professionally they stand out. (Sounds like those crazy interns, right?) So she decides to leave Seattle Grace behind and join the Oceanside Wellness Group team.


Wish we were impressed... but we are not. The cast ... less than to be desired... the storyline is lame.. at best. If Addison followed a guy somewhere and he bailed and she decided to stay... very Shirley Valentinesesque... then we might have something. But otherwise... lame.

Oh well we will always have McDreamy...

Toodles!

Hottest Man on TV... no surprise..

From the AP:
Three doctors from "Grey's Anatomy" are on TV Guide's list of the sexiest actors on the tube:
Dr. McDreamy, Patrick Dempsey, tops the list of sexiest actors. Justin Chambers ranks ninth.

No Shock to our system...He is the reason no "mom events" are ever successful on Thursdays.. McDreamy is the stuff that our dreams are made of.. the man is so way better in his 40's.

Sad to scorching hot... Dempsey was a late bloomer... but what a man... what a sexy man..

Toodles!

Small Sacrifices - Grey's Anatomy

Of course we Tivo'd it. Of course we watched it as it Tivo'd.

Grey's Anatomy... last week McDreamy gave us something to fantasize about when he carried Meredith Grey out of the water. Was he incredibly hot or what?! We thought looked like a front cover of romance novel. His devotion to dear Mer.. his grief.. geez could any S-O ever live up to him?!


Today, he was a wreck... in a good way. The way we know our S-O's should be if anything happened to us!

If Mer had passed on to the great hospital in the sky, we would have to pass on Grey's Anatomy's future. But the good thing about her stop en route .. Kyle Chandler popped in.. sigh..


But... with all this drama.. a sacrifice had to be made. So, Mer's mom, Ellis Grey is off to the Great Beyond - not a nice person - okay, bye bye.



George is starting to annoy us a bit. He is not as adorable. We hope his recent trip outside of the closet isn't changing how his character is being written.

Now, McDreamy - Geez- when he was in the hospital bed holding Mer.. all we could think is "she is not worthy"...

BUT - the big news with Grey's Anatomy is talk of a spin off with Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd. Addy (Kate Walsh) is very pretty.. but the charisma thing isn't really happening with her. We will have to see what they put out... if it can compare.


Addy deserves some happiness, but it is hard to imagine her holding her own show together. Now... if it was Izzie.. that could get interesting!
