Thursday night telly.

First of all, I love Ugly Betty. I have been waiting for this show since upfronts, and it's just as good as I hoped it would be. America Ferrera is amazing, and OMG, it's like The Devil Wears Prada, but with a real girl for a change*. I've kept my eye on America since Real Women Have Curves and she's just so fucking refreshing. I feel this overwhelming urge to write UB fic from the jump which hasn't happened since, err, The O.C.

*No disrespect to Anne Hathaway, but dropping from a size 6 to a size 4 is not my idea of a life-affirming goal.

As for Grey's Anatomy I have never been so fucking disappointed in this show in my entire LIFE.

Whomever wrote this episode deserves to be slathered in honey and locked in a tank with red ants and cockroaches and BEES.

Bailey acting all out of whack all episode and then stepping up to take responsibility for Izzie playing God? HELL FUCKING NO.

Way to just piss all over one of the strongest women characters on TV. How dare they!

What I love about Bailey is her uncompromising ethics; she is not responsible for Izzie acting the fool, she did that all on her own. And now you're saying that Bailey got soft because she had a kid? Nice with the demeaning working women all across the world. Bailey was fine, she got soft when you made her all OOC to try and make Izzie look better. To which I say FUCK YOU!

Also, this George/Callie thing is pissing me off. The bit where he's leading her on, and you're trying to pretend like it's okay?

It's fucking NOT.

She took the flack for Meredith being a home-wrecker and Meredith didn't even THANK her.

Again, GA writers, you suck.

As for Meredith and Shepard, whatever, they've deserved each other since day one.

I love Addison and am thrilled that McSteamy is back. Everyone else can rot.

In conclusion, you don’t even get any points for having Shaft and Julia be Preston's parents.

Asses.

Amen to Ugly Betty! We watched it last night, and while I found it to be a tiny bit predictable (you had to know she would finally quit, and then he would come to his senses, etc...), I really liked the premise behind it. It's a little quirky, which I fear may turn people away from it and leave it in the land of the really fucking good shows that got cancelled (i.e., Kitchen Confidential!) but hopefully it'll catch on 'cause I dig it, yo!

*sniff* R.I.P. KC.

Shit. I still think about that show like every other week, or you know, every time I read about FOX's shitty ass programming.

Rondah and I still have the episode with Michael Vartan saved on our TiVo and once in a while we watch it, just so we can see the part where he screams, "YOUR CUISINE IS CA-CA!". It cracks me up every fucking time, without fail!

That show was genius, but unfortunately most people were too stupid to understand it. Bastards.

I have it on DVD, my friend burned them for me, but I need a new DVD player cos mine doesn't read burned DVDs, so I'm a bit SOL because the FUCKWITS AT FOX (like they can hear me if I Caps Lock) haven't put it on DVD.

Bastards.

Bastards everywhere.
