Grey's Anatomy Season 8 Episode 2: Take The Lead

Tension builds tonight on an all new Grey's Anatomy, as Meredith, Alex, Cristina, April and Jackson perform their first solo surgeries of their fifth year of residency. Meanwhile the Chief steps down and Dr. Hunt takes over. And will Meredith and Derek solve their marriage problems now that baby Zola is gone? Here's a look at what happened tonight at Seattle Grace-Mercy West.

Oh hail the chief: Last weeks premiere saw the Chief taking the blame for Meredith as he said he was the one who tampered with Derek's Alzheimer Clinical Trial. In the opening the Chief decided it was time to take a break from his duties and spend time with his wife. He appointed Dr. Owen Hunt to the Chief position which found Dr. Miranda Bailey a bit furious. She still isn't ready to let go of what went down in the finale. Still when Bailey is riled up, be careful folks.

It's Solo Surgery Time: Ah the fifth years get a chance to operate without their attendings on there back. To make things more interesting, the residents make a wager to see who's surgery is going to be the most successful and the loser will have to work April's skills lab for the interns. Each of the five residence had complex surgeries. For Alex, this whole entire time he has been practicing in PEDS however when the opportunity comes for a solo he backs out and takes a general surgery procedure, a bowel resuction. April catches on too Alex's bad bedside manner and has a one on one chat with him. He does admit he is nervous and sadly his patient doesn't make it.
Jackson Avery is anxious to get his hands on a plastics case. And this one was just the right one. Jackson was going to be operating on a complicated case involving a baby boy. To Arizona, Jackson was fine except she felt Mark Sloan was more experienced (he's an attending). Jackson convinces Arizona to let him operate but at the last moment he backs out getting Sloan to come an do his job for him. Let's just say he lost the bet.
Cristina Yang loses her memory for a bit while performing a routine Appy. But even as she is trying to remember, her attending Teddy forgets the easy procedure as well. They end up getting a nurse to help them.
Which brings me to Meredith Grey. All eyes are on Mer as she returns to the OR after being fired and re-hired from that clinical trial tampering. Derek is still furious at her for messing with his trial that the tension is high as they are both together in the OR. But of course she is Meredith Grey and she performs the surgery flawlessly and receives a round of applause.

The MerDer/Owina Couple Drama: Couples and their drama what can we say. There was a major awkwardness between Owen and Cristina as they still aren't talking about "IT" (she aborted his baby on purpose) but with a case of food posion, Owen and Cristina bond lying on the floor, still not talking about that one little detail.
And ladies and Gents, McDreamy finally called "post-it" Weeks after losing Baby Zola Meredith and Derek finally had an argument which lead to the discusion on seperating work from their marriage. Slowly and surely they are making Progress but will that be enough to get Baby Zola Back?

Next Week: Grey's goes "all man" with a Boys episode told from the men's point of view!

Grey's Anatomy airs Thursday Nights 9/8c on ABC.

Dancing With The Stars: Week 2 Recap, Quickstep, The Jive and Malfuctions

Its time to quick step and jive in the ballroom! Welcome to week two of DWTS! This weeks dances will be more intense and require efficient technique. Here's a recap of last nights dancing plus was it true there was a wardrobe malfunction?

The night begins with the high energy Jive. First up Hope and Max. They gave Hope a snazzy soccer outfit and start the night off with fierce attitude. The energy was intense which head judge Len said it was crisp and sharp but she did lose her footwork and lost timing. Both Bruno and Carrie Ann agreed while also adding that she was relaxed in the dance. Hope and Max received 19/30

Old Hollywood Glamour are the perfect words to describe Kristen and Marks Quickstep. They have really good chemistry and Kristen has good performance value. She seems relaxed and very elegant. Bruno was "bedazzled" by the dance and Carrie Ann called it a complete transformation from week one. However Len said she broke hold and wasn't as good as she looked. Kristen earned a 22/30

In my personal opinion, David Arquette always had a energetic kid vibe so when they gave him the Jive I was excited to see this. Sadly, David was all over place. The judges said his technique wasn't there but gave him positive reviews saying his enthusiasm was incredible. David received 18/30

Shes tall and beautiful but can she quickstep? Elizabetta and Val were "hot" according to judge Bruno but her technique was still a bit off. Len said it best by saying it was great but not better than nextweek. Carrie Ann disagreed and said she nailed it. They gave Elizabetta a 21/30

According to Carrie Ann, yes Rob is a better dancer than Kim! Rob and Cheryl's Jive earned rave reviews from the judges and they even agreed he is coming out of his shell. Len gave a positive comment saying his energy was at his best and Bruno said his timing was much better. He received a 21/30

Carson, Carson , Carson. I really enjoy watching him in the opening monologues. This week Anna and Carson dance to the quickstep which Carrie Ann said he was wobbily but saw improvement. You can tell Carson but a lot of work into the dance however it didn't flow as he was on stage. Bruno and Len said he needs a lot more work. Carson earned a 18/30

Whenever there is a Jive the one choreographer i'm looking forward to is Derek and Him and Ricki didn't disappoint. She nailed it with the Kicks and Flicks and according to Carrie Ann was the best Jive of the night. However there is always one to disagree and Len was the one. He didn't like it but said she got the job done. Ricki earned a 23/30 and lead the leader board

After having several knee problems, Chaz was still trying to adapt to the quickstep while on the dancefloor. Him and Lacy's quickstep was according to judges too slow and was a bit off. The did praise him for handling the pain well. Chaz received a 17/30

Tony always gives his partners interesting choreography when it comes to the jive and personally i loved Chyna's Jive. Except, the judges thought she played it safe. She had great energy and wonderful stage personality. Bruno even said her sexy side is starting to show. Chyna earned a 22/30

Nancy and Tristan were having a bit of a "pow-wow" during the week when it came to the quickstep. However they manage to pull it through but the main topic from today's headlines was this "wardrobe malfunction" it was believe that she has a "nip slip" however Nancy quickly said this morning that there was no malfunction. Hmmm what to believe? Who cares, the score is more important because she earned a 21/30

The nights last dance came from JR and Karina who quickstepped their way to the judges hearts. The judges loved his technique and felt he was solid throughout the dance. They gave him a 22/30

The results are in and it's elimination time. And the next star to be eliminated..........

Elizabetta and Val.

Untill next week Dancing With the Stars fans!

Did the right person go home?

Welcome Aboard Flight Pan Am

Buckle up and don't forget your girdle, adventure calls. Tonight the much hyped about ABC fall show "Pan Am" came aboard to our tv screens. Setting in the 1960s Pan Am's fashion and music took americans back to the good ole days of the Pan Am stewardess. But with all the hype did it make a solid or crash landing?

After watching the pilot, no pun intended, episode I felt as if i was watching a spin off of "Mad Men" on ABC. Christina Richi acting was good for the most part. However, the series kept jumping back from past to present in series of flashbacks for backstory. I found myself wanting to scream out "cut to the drama and enough with the flashbacks"

The series started out with the term, "Don't forget that girdle." It follows the life of two sisters, one who decided to follow in her sisters footsteps as a stewardess after leaving her fiancee at the alter. One plot that i did find entertaining was the storyline of frenchwoman Collete who has a one night stand with a man while on a trip. The man, his wife and his son come on the plane and the wife figures out about the affair in the end. Favorite line, "Put this on your refridge as a reminder not to sleep with another woman's husband"

I found some of the flashbacks unnecessary and thought the fashion and nostalgia of the 60s was at its best with the Frank Sinatra Music playing in the backround.

Just right now 48 percent of viewers voted in Watch with Kristen poll to Save Pan Am. Being a huge Brothers and Sisters fan, i found Pan Am to be a little unsolid to the dramatic family problems of "The Walkers."

We will see how the show compared to others tomorrow morning as Fast Nationals come out but i will give it another try next sunday to have a final verdict.
If not i give it about six episodes before they put a DOA on it.

Did you think Pan Am lived up to the hype?


Kiss Them Goodbye: The Beginning Of The End For The Ladies Of Wisteria Lane

Seven years of scandal, betrayal, love and infamous water cooler moments, the ladies of wisteria lane are getting ready to say goodbye, but not without one final season of schemes. Sunday night ABC will premiere season eight, the final season of Desperate Housewives. The show, which premiered in 2004, sky rocketed to number one in the ratings with its crazy character antics. The ladies of Wisteria have cultivated the term "Housewife" and made modern everyday women gather on their couches to see the soapy style prime time drama. 

Series creator Marc Cherry, scored big when he landed phenomenal actresses to play the roles of Mary Alice, Bree, Gabriel, Susan, Lynette and Edie. The show has earned multiple Emmy/SAG/ and Golden Globe nominations. 

Desperate Housewives has always been one to push the boundaries of television. Each season has had nothing but heart-stopping moments and emotional moments which makes us come back for more. DH has always been at the top of its ratings however in recent years the show was down a bit from its prime.  In the past seven years, DH averages 16 million viewers. Cherry had signed a deal with ABC to keep it on the air through 2013 but this past summer he decided it was time to call it quits and end the show while it was still winning its time slot and being talked about

On Sunday night, long-time viewers will return to find Gabby and Carlos in a difficult position trying to deal with the death of Gabby's stepfather who Gabby, in self defense, killed. The premiere also deals with the marriage troubles of Lynette and Tom, which at the end of last season decided to go their separate ways after 15 years of marriage. Even Mary Alice might be on our screens. Brenda Strong talked to reporters from Zap2it.com at the season eight premiere party and said we will see more of the mystery of Mary Alice. Last seasons newest housewife, Renee, played by Vanessa Williams, says the new season will also have some lighter moments as well. 

Whatever the outcome the final season of Desperate Housewives looks like it will end with a bang. Here is an exclusive final season promo of Season eight 

Desperate Housewives airs Sunday nights 9/8c on ABC

Dancing With The Stars: Week 1 Recap and First Elimination

The ballroom is back and bigger than ever! Monday Night brought the return of ABC's hit reality dance competition Dancing With the Stars complete with a new and improved set! The grand staircase is now in the middle and the freshly lit set makes the ballroom look amazing. We start the night meeting the cast as each of them with their dance partners walk down the stair case. In the ballroom we see familiar faces such as the Kardashian sisters and Courtney Cox. Here's how the start of season 13 went.

First to open the night is Ron Artest dancing the "Cha Cha." While the opening number was quite energetic, Ron's nerves were obvious. His performance lacked content and had bad technique. Earning him a 14/30

Rob Kardashian proved to be the better dancer than his sister Kim but will that pull him through? Dancing to the Waltz the judges thought he was too stiff and needed to relax. Carrie Ann said she saw potential while Len was not to impressed. Overall Rob has the ability to go far if he can just push himself. He earned a 16/30

The Hills came alive when Kristin Cavillari hit the dancefloor, well maybe cause her partner Mark Ballas had something to do with that. The "Cha Cha" they did had incredible energy and all the judges think she has potential earning her a 19/30

Tony always manages to get some not so good celebrity partners but for this season the producers gave him a reason to get excited. Singer Chynna Philips surprised audience with a graceful waltz that made Len smile. Earning her a 22/30

The verdict is in and Nancy Grace proves she is more than a by-the-book court tv journalist. Letting loose for the "Cha Cha", Nancy proves she is there to show off a fun side of her and is actually pretty hilarious. Judges gave her a 16/30

The ever so quirky David Arquette has the potential to go far according to the judges. His waltz was well liked but still found him feeling like he was all over the dancefloor. He earned a 18/30

Elizabeth, sweetheart the only thing we remember you as is the woman who stole George Clooney away from us women. Putting her on dancing with Maks little brother, Genuis! Even with the language barrier the duo still manage to put on a good dance however it wasn't enough for the judges earning her a 15/30

Maks is back with a little Hope to add at that. Maks and Hope Solo brought a very solid waltz to the floor. The judges say she has to work on her control but thinks she can go far. With Maks as a partner im sure she will. Judges gave her a 21/30

Mr. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy got the Moves like Jagger? Carson and Anna boogie on the dance floor to the "Cha Cha" that has him all over the place. His looks like an awkward mess with his arms and body form everywhere but you can tell he is having a lot of fun. He has the energy but his technique needs a lot of work. The judges give him a 17/30

Army man turned Soap star JR Martinez and Karina do a very well waltz. The judges are all impressed at how well he danced since he has never been a dancer. A solid performance earned him a 22/30 which has him tied with Chynna.

Derek is back in the ballroom and has the talkshow host by his side. Ricki Lake's waltz was filled with emotion however it lacked in comparison with Chynna's. The judges say she's graceful and had great footwork which earns her a 20/30

The final and most anticipated dance of the night is here! Chaz and Lacy have to overcome the controversy surrounding them, did they do it with their "Cha Cha?" Chaz seems very nervous in the beginning of the performance. He has good energy and a great footwork and by the end of the performance, he has tears in his eyes. The judges send positive vibes to him by saying they know he is doing this to have fun and has great joy. He earns a 17/30

So who went home? Tuesday night brought the first results show and the 1st one to be eliminated is................ Ron Artest.

Step On The Grapes, Get Out The Wine. The New Bachelor Is Mighty Fine

Just like the old saying goes, you fall you get back up. In this case you get down on one knee, get rejected, you keep finding love. That is what this hunky winemaker from Sonoma, Calif. is doing. Ladies, say thanks to Ashley cause you wanted him and you got him. Season 7 runner up, Ben Falajank, is the new Bachelor, ABC announced Tuesday.

Fans of The Bachelorette fell in love with Ben F the moment he revealed his emotional journey after his father passed away back in 2007. Even though he opened up to Ashley on the final date, it still wasn't enough. Ashley ultimately rejected his proposal and chose JP. (Note: If you know you are going to reject the guy don't let him get down on one knee, save him the trouble. Yes Ashley I'm talking to you)

"Secret is out,"tweeted Ben,"Looking forward to my new journey as the bachelor." TV Guide was first to report the announcement in which Bachelor/Bachelorette host Chris Harrison said he is extremely happy with the choice. Earlier this summer, in a poll taken by TV Guide.com, 33 percent wanted Ben over fellow contestants Ames, and Ryan to be the bachelor, however 41 percent wanted a fresh face.

Do you feel ABC made the right choice?

The Bachelor returns to ABC January 2012

Premiere Week: What To Watch on Mondays

It's September, which means we are just 16 days, 8 hours, 13 minutes, 39 seconds away from the new Fall television season. Since the season is getting closer it's time to break down the line up. Each week I will be highlighting all four networks on their specific premiere nights. I'm here to make sure you don't miss the return of your favorite show as well as to make sure you set those DVR's. Here is your guide to Mondays this fall.

The most watch network CBS is back with their Monday night comedy line up. Starting at the 8/7c hour we have the return of "How I Met Your Mother".  When we last left off, Barney was the one getting married but, was he marrying Nora or Robin? Viewers also found out that Marshal and Lilly finally got pregnant and Ted was super close to reconciling with Zoey. When HIMYM returns, we will see who Barney really got married too and Lilly and Marshal welcome their first child.
Moving over to the 8:30/7:30c  the series premiere of CBS new comedy "2 Broke Girls". It's been called by critics as the modern day Laverne & Shirley. The show follows two girls, one who is a smart-mouth watiress who also is a nanny and her new co-worker who is an heiress, who must now make her own living. They end up moving in together and plan to start their own business. Here is an Exclusive Sneak Preview of " 2 Broke Girls"
At the 9/8c hour we have probably one of the most talked about series this summer. "Two and A Half Men. Fans of course will be seeing a different man on their screens as Charlie Sheen has been replaced by Ashton Kutcher. No doubt about it ratings will be high on this show.
At the 9:30/8:30c hour, "Mike and Molly"make their return and at the 10/9c hour "Hawaii Five- O" comes back for its sophomore season. Hawaii Five-O ended last season with Chin Ho being offered a job on the police force, Kono and McGarrett were both arrested. Fans will see Lost-vet Terry O'Quinn as the new governor.

On ABC we have the 2-hour premiere of "Dancing With the Stars" which recently revealed its cast this past week. and of course at 10/9c "Castle" returns and after that amazing season finale, I'm sure fans will be coming back to watch. Castle fans were stunned to see Beckett shot on the finale as well as Castle confessing his love for her. When it returns, fans will find out if Beckett heard.

NBC has had major buzz about this particular show. What can be called as the show that expresses "woman empowerment", "The Playboy Club" will make its debut on the 10/9c hour. The show features the life of a 60s Playboy Bunny. Here's the sneak, click to see if Hugh Heffner would be proud.
