*Hart of Dixie* offers some easy feel good watching!

I should say ways to watch if it lays of the cheese! Since it is Josh Swartez i have  A LOT of faith in this show, you could say the pilot of The OC and Gossip Girl, even Chuck, were riddled with cheesefesty moments b ut with the pilot you have got to set the scene and the basic big story lines of the season and Hart of Dixie defiantly did so.

First off lets talk about the fact that Rachel Bilson is now back on my TV.  I was a mahooosive fan of The OC back in the day so I get happy when any of the cast are in anything else (well apart from Mischa Barton just because well shes only good as Marissa Cooper), so a  show where Bilson is the leading lady already had me watching for the first couple of episodes.  I gotta say though I might stick this one out it defiantly had an old WB style to it, which again makes me happy, and its guna be nice and easy but probably addictive to watch.  I just dont know how well I am going to buy into this whole Bilson is a doctor thing.

The rest of the cast seem ok for now, I think Wade is going to get quite a bit more interesting, especially more so than George who seems to be a little bit dopey.  Lemon is going to annoy the frick out of me, I mean her name is Lemon for starters!  The Mayor hmmm not sure how I feel about him to be honest.

For now i am going to keep watching up, try and catch fully up this week, I am hoping the narration from Bilson's character Zoe stops though, cannot be dealing with that every episode!

*ABC's Revenge - Defiantly Served*

Ok 1 episode in and I am a little bit addicted.  Gotta say I wasn't expecting to be, especially as I usually dislike the main actress Emily Van Camp, however it has proven to be a nice guilty pleasure, and better yet its like ABC crossed with the CW.

First off I guess I didn't know much about the show before going into it because I had no idea that the revenge  was from something that happened to her family when she was little, which makes it so much more interesting.  I am uber excited to see how Jack/Amanda develops, I'm really hoping he discovers her a couple of episodes in.  I am a little confused as to where the finances (Daniel) murder is going to happen, midseason or season finale.  Since its a first season, and the didn't have a full season order when they went into making the show, I'm guessing they had it prepared for midseason.

The Grayson family, first off Conrad is a douche can he be killed off, we know Daniel dies before him because he is at the engagement party in the pilot, wait one sec all the big players were which means its going to take a lot of episodes for anyone to truly be revenged on, hmmm.  I cant wait to learn all of Victoria's little dirty secrets like the one we learned at the end of the episode.  The daughter seems irrelevant for now so I will make more of a decision on her later on as the show progresses.

Emily/Amanda what shall we call her Amily? Emanda? I gunna go with Amily tis prettier.  So we have the childhood crush with Jack, the potential romance (which we know becomes an engagement) with Daniel, some weird flirting with Nolan.  Personally after the pilot I am rooting for Jack, although Daniel is a hottie, and her reaction to his death leads me to think she does develop actual feelings for him.  Maybe Amily and Nolan conspire to kill Daniel and she backs out but he continues with the plan, no its gotta be the girl Daniel killed  in the car crash's family coming back for their revenge.

The Porter family, you can tell we will be rooting for them all the way through to come out of financial struggles, to get the girl, they are defiantly the family who deserve happiness, the opposite of the Grayson's, maybe Daddy Porter was good friends with Amily's father and ends up helping her out?

See one episode in and I already have about a gazillion questions, guess I better get catching up so I can answer myself!

*Suburgatory - Easy A In TV Form*

Finally got round to watching ABC's new comedy Suburgatory and I am thinking that i might just watch all the episodes Iv'e missed in one because its that good.  Think Emma Stone in Easy A taken out of her comfort zone and placed into well the suburbs of NYC!  And that's what this show is!

Ok it helps that the leading girl Tessa played by Jane Levy  kinda looks like Emma Stone and has the same coolness factor probably as her but that's probably what they were going for when they were casting this show.  Tessa is just very New York in her attitude, e.g. I have been brought up to be an individual why should I change myself to fit in, and of course I agree completely with this attitude so i really love this character, and kinda would like to be as cool as her.

What i love most about this show possibly though is how ever cliché about the people in the suburbs is heightened to a scary stepfordness.  Cheryl Hines is hilarious as Dallas, she reminds me a little bit of Amy Pholer in Mean Girls as lead mean girl Regina's mum, probably not as desperate but defiantly as fake.  Her daughter Dalia (is the right way its spelt, not sure) is just so bland boring and robot like that she had me kinda in stitches, or maybe it was the fact in the most monotone way possible that she says exactly what she like.  Imagine Cordelia Chase constantly glued to a mobile phone and not learning how to make expressions in her voice, i assume that's how we would get Dalia

George played by Jeremy Sisto is going to have it hard, single man quite attractive, he will be eaten up by all the single ladies, and well the married ones probably too.  This of course is going to make for some excellent comedy.  At first I was a little concerned about Sisto in a comedy I have only really seen him in Six Feet Under and that's so far from comedy in unreal, and his character in that had Bipolar I think, if not sorry its been a while since i watched it.  However I am pleasantly surprised by this lighter role he has taken on.

So I am off to watch more of this series and I think you all should to! :D

*Chuck is Back*

Chuck's Final season has started and I am uber excited to see how this show ends.  Constantly struggled to return each year but with a very active fanbase it has survived into its 5th season.  What annoys me with this show is that hardly anyone gives it a chance, especially to discover how awesome it actually is, so if you are unsure about trying out the show i always strongly recommend it.

With this first episode back we got a little bit of everything (apart form a lack of awesome, where was he?).  Introduction to the new company Carmicheal Industries, Morgan with the intersect (so much funnier than when Chuck first got it), Casey finding private hire difficult for the mere fact that they now work for the scumbags, Chuck and Sarah kicking off married life and a lil bit of Buymore goodness.  

The new company isn't doing too well at earning itself money and apparently the millions Volkoff left them isn't going as far as you would think.  I like the fact that the show has shown that money runs out quickly, too many spy world in popular culture make out that everything is at their disposal and that there is unlimited funds, but no the spy industry is just like any other, you need money to keep going.  So at the end of the episode when the CIA freezes all their assets, well it makes Chuck very unhappy because this means he cant give Sarah her dream home life.  I suspect the season finale will be Chuck and Sarah buying the white house with the little red door, i hope it is anyway.  

Which leads me to another season long arc, Decker! What a nasty little government man.  I am very very very intrigued to know what their big plan for Chuck is, I know they are being mean now but its leading me to think that the end result might actually be a good one, I'm not sure though, its a very complicated story right now, i cant wait for it to speed up.  

Morgan and his intersect is just hilarious, but i kinda think he suits it more than Chuck ever did, maybe its because he small but everything just looks more awesome when Morgan is doing it, like kung fu etc.  Also gotta love the fact that he is still very much Morgan, the intersect has not changed him and he still looks up to Chuck, even though Chuck now feels inferior to Morgan.  I don't know where this story is going to go, weather Morgan's intersect with transfer to Chuck or will Morgan forever be the intersect I don't know.

Next onto the Buymore.  I am so glad that in this final season the Buymore has to play a bigger part in order to turn profit to make money for the spy business.  I've always loved the Buymore scenes, how normal it is compared to the outrageousness of the spy world but also how outrageous the Buymore itself can be.  More Morgan and Chuck bringing down Jeff and Lester please, that small little tidbit with Jeff begging for money and Morgan and Chuck finding him climbing and walking, loved it, classic Buymore.

Overall though i am very excited for this series to continue but a little sad at the same time because this is of course its last :(
