The Musings of a Television Addict: The Ends and the Beginnings

It’s a good time to be a TV fan, girls. Other than the incredibly disappointing resurfacing of Britney in How I Met Your Mother, things are going well. A couple television tidbits for your perusing pleasure:

* Renewals for shows I love: How I Met Your Mother and Reaper. YAY! People, this is good comedy right here. If you aren’t already tuning in, you should be.

*Speaking of How I Met Your Mother, the websites mentioned on this week’s episode are real and functioning. You can buy set pieces and items from Lily’s ridiculously cute wardrobe at this auction site. All proceeds go to the Los Angeles Children’s Hospital. In addition, www.GuyForcesHisWifeToDressInAGarbageBagForTheNextThreeYears.com is not only the longest URL ever, it is bizarre and wonderful. Details like this make me love this show.

*Season finales are upon us, with Scrubs and 30 Rock ending last week, and the majority of other shows finishing up this week. And while I mourn the passing of some of my favorites, I’m distracted by the awesomeness that I’m sure The Office will deliver this Thursday. My predictions? Cliffhangers galore: including a Dwight/Angela coupling behind Andy’s back, Jan using a possibly fake pregnancy to reel Michael back in, and a Jim/Pam proposal. Too far fetched? Maybe. But if I’m right you’ll bow down to my fabulous and mystical clairvoyance. Post your own predictions in the comments!

*In other wonderful Office related news, Steve Carell is hosting the SNL season finale this weekend! However, because I can’t have anything go smoothly in my life, this episode will also be Amy Poehler’s last. WHY!? Kristen Wiig can’t hold up this show on her own, woman! Screw the pregnancy! STAY WITH MEEEEE…..I’m sorry about that. I have an unhealthy adoration for Amy Poehler. But can you blame me?

*To smother my sorrow, I’m going to re-immerse myself in the new season of So You Think You Can Dance, which premiers in two weeks! My favorite thing about this show? Figuring out which male contestants are straight, gay, or hopelessly closeted. (Hint: it’s usually one of the last two.) But if you tune in for the spectacular dancing, more power to ya!

To finish, I give you this wonderful clip from our friends over at the Best Week Ever blog:
