Best Pilot Episode

30 Days of Television - Day #27

I'm making this short & sweet because my life is overwhelming me right now! haha!

These are the pilot episodes that had me hooked into the shows immediately.

(Again, obviously add Friends & Buffy to all my lists like this.)

Grey's Anatomy

One Tree Hill

Gossip Girl

The OC

Lost

Favorite kiss

30 Days of Television - Day #20

This is a tough choice!! I had to do a top 10. My lists are never in order, so this is random.

Buffy & Angel

Angel

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

It's the first time they kiss & the first time that I'm like, "Augh Buffy & Angel!!!"

Video 

(can't find an actual video of this kiss alone, but it happens about 35 seconds into this video - and I hate the song in the video by the way)

Ross & Rachel

The One Where Ross Finds Out

Friends

It's just a major "finally" moment!! Theirs is an epic romance. LOL

Video

(yeah I can't find a picture of this one)

Lexie & Sloan

All By Myself

Grey's Anatomy

They are my favorite Grey's couple & I got really excited when they got together! I like it that Mark goes from being a bad guy to a good guy with her.

Video

(the scene is about 2:30 into this video)

Bones & Booth

Santa in the Slush

Bones

Even though there wasn't really much to celebrate here - no relationship, no confirmation that they like each other - this was still really exciting because you could kinda tell that they secretly love each other. We're STILL building toward a relationship 2 years later, but still. It was exciting.

Video

(only the first 15 seconds were actually shown in the episode)

House & Cuddy

Help Me

House, MD

I think everybody has been waiting for this since the beginning of the show. House & Cuddy finally, legitimately & lovingly getting together was just the best thing ever in the show!! I loved it!

Video

(3:50 mark)

Sawyer & Kate

There's No Place Like Home, Part 2

Lost

This is when Sawyer kisses Kate before jumping off the helicopter to save everyone. It was hard to pick one kiss of theirs that is my favorite, but I like this one because you see that Sawyer has changed & that he loves Kate.

Video

(2:00 mark)

Jim & Pam

Casino Night

The Office

Who didn't love it when Jim finally kissed Pam after he told her he loved her?? Oh my gosh I was so excited!!! I also really like when he kisses her when they find out she's pregnant. That scene was one of the best scenes ever in TV in my opinion.

Video

(2:30 = casino night, this video has the other one at the 2:50 mark)

Seth & Summer

The Rainy Day Women

The O.C.

This is just plain fun. I loved Seth & Summer & this kiss is just cute! And it's when they finally get back together!! You gotta love it.

Video

Nathan & Haley

The Wind That Blew My Heart Away

One Tree Hill

The kiss where they're in the rain & Nathan is getting all of Haley's newspaper clippings to show that he was still proud of her even though she left him to go on tour. I just love it. You know that they're going to be okay!!

Video

(2:30 mark)

Buffy & Spike

Intervention

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

The one at the end where Buffy is pretending to be the Buffybot to find out if Spike told Glory who Dawn was. I know this is a weird one to pick, but it's the first time Buffy kisses Spike on purpose because she thinks he deserves it. Something about it has just always stuck with me. I probably watch it like 3 times every time I watch the episode.

Video

I've already thought of about 4 more that I could add to this. Oh well.

Favorite male character

30 Days of Television - Day #14

Apparently the thing I look for in favorite male characters is that the make me laugh. Every single one of these just absolutely crack me up!

Chandler Bing

Friends

He's just hilarious. No explanation needed in my opinion.

Seth Cohen

The OC

He is what drew me to this show. His humor is so sarcastic & right up my alley.

Sheldon Cooper

The Big Bang Theory

I love nerdiness. I love quirkiness. I just love Sheldon. He cracks me up every single time.

Andrew Wells

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I know it's an odd choice for my favorite, but he really is. He makes me laugh more than any other character on the show!! Definitely a favorite.

An episode you've watched more than 5 times

30 Days of Television - Day #12

I have watched literally every episode of Friends or Buffy more than 5 times. Especially Friends - I can play the episode The One Where Ross Finds Out in my head - no problem. I also know every word to every song in Once More With Feeling from Buffy.

Saturday Night Live

The Christmas Justin Timberlake episode 12/16/2006

I love it!!! Homelessville, the infamous box song (this is a family-friendly blog), his chapped lips at Target, then I really liked when he performed What Goes Around. It's a fabulous episode!

One Tree Hill

Pilot

I've introduced this show to so many people, so I've seen this pilot way more than 5 times.

The OC

Pilot

I've also introduced this show to so many people, so again - way more than 5 times.

Best Scene Ever

30 Days of Television - Day #9

Okay, this is hard. It would be absolutely ridiculous for me to think I could actually come up with one scene that I think is the best scene on a TV show ever. No way. So here's what I did, I went with the top 5 scenes off the top of my head that I could remember thinking "oh wow that was awesome." I feel like with all the tv I watch & all the shows I've ever seen, for there to be a few scenes that stick out as breathtaking for whatever reason, they should at least be mentioned. But these are not in order & I make no promises that I won't think of something better a week or month from now. Also all of these but 1 comes from a season finale. I guess finales just have the best scenes!

Friends

The One With the Proposal: Part 2

The final scene where Chandler realizes he's going to run back & propose to Monica & he thinks everything is all messed up - he gets back to the apartment & Joey says Monica left all upset & Chandler is crying & I'm crying & he opens the door & it's candles everywhere & Monica standing there & it's just the best thing you've ever seen in that one moment! I cry every single time I watch it. "There's a reason why girls don't do this!!"

Video

Friends

The One Where Ross Finds Out

You know the one. Ross & Rachel argue at Central Perk because Ross & Julie didn't get a cat. "You had no right to tell me you ever had feelings for me!" And then he leaves & she's mad & then she cries & then you see Ross in the window of the door & she opens the door & they kiss & it's raining & oh wow it's just good stuff.

Video

The OC

The Dearly Beloved

Ryan finds out about Trey attacking Marissa. He goes to Trey's apartment to confront him - things get violent, Marissa comes in & tries to break it up. Trey's hitting, kicking & choking Ryan. Marissa is crying & screaming, she finds a gun, she points, she shoots, Imogen Heap plays & things go slow mo to fast & back all at once. Not the happiest of scenes, but overall totally awesome in the way it's done.

Video

Grey's Anatomy

Losing My Religion

The whole part with Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol playing in the background. Denny is dead. Izzie is crying. Alex holds Izzie, Cristina holds Burke's hand, Izzie tells the Chief that she cut Denny's LVAD wire, Meredith is left to choose between Derek & Finn. It's just sad & emotional & packed with a bunch of drama in about 4 minutes.

Video

One Tree Hill

All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone

Haley goes into labor, Karen goes into surgery, Lightning Crashes by Live is playing. The scene where everyone is wheeled into the hospital - Haley one way, Karen another & Lucas & Nathan meet in the middle & just hug - that's a good scene.

Video

Best TV Music Moments

So my last post got me to thinking about the best music moments in my favorite TV shows. Most of them end up being The OC or One Tree Hill because music is a big deal in those shows, but whatever.

TV Shows on DVD

I love love love love TV shows on DVD. I just finished watching Season 1 of Bones. And Hannah and I are at the beginning of Season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I've already seen them all like 5 times, but she hasn't!!). I also love to watch the fan videos that people make on youtube of tv shows. I think they are hilarious and awesome. So here are a few from my favorite shows:


Friends



Buffy the Vampire Slayer
(Hannah - don't watch this one - it gives away a whole lot of Season 7)




Bones




One Tree Hill




The OC




Grey's Anatomy



You should watch tv with me.

The OC is no more

The OC has been cancelled. Last episode February 22.

Kinda sad, but what else could we really expect?
