All Next Week's Promos in One Place

November 14th 2008 22:21
Okay guys, here it is. I don't know about you, but I find it annoying trying to go searching for all the "next week" promos for all my favorite shows, so here they are. All the promos for next week I could find in one place. Enjoy!

Bones:


LoL! I can't wait, this one looks great!

Supernatural:



Ahhhhhh! No words, no words for this one, just hurry up and be Thursday already!

Californication:



LoL Poor Hank.

Chuck (same promo, first one with subtitles ):


Hmmm...wonder how long the new girl's staying around?

Grey's Anatomy:



Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? Thanks to the weather knocking out our ABC station, I have four weeks of Grey's to catch up on! Ahhh!

Heroes:



I hope Hiro gets his powers back!

House:



I'm really liking this awkwardness with House and Cuddy and Wilson trying to get them together. LoL

Private Practice:



Actually it's only one week. The CMAs pre-empted it this week.

Okay, that's all I could find for now. If you have any requests, let me know and I'll try and find them.

Josh Groban rocks the Emmys

September 22nd 2008 05:06

There were many ups and downs in this year's 60th annual Emmy Awards, but I must say, the best part of all 4 hours was definitely Josh Groban singing 30 of the most well-loved TV theme songs. From cartoons, to rap, to country, ballads, pop, and voice-overs, the guy did it all. And I must say, it was a lot of fun, not to mention impressive!



Who knew one guy could nail all those voices? That was great! haha

On the down side, however, the whole 5 hosts thing? An entire opening of "this is us interrupting each other talking about how we have nothing to talk about"...Yeah, not such a great idea...Not to mention that the "vote for TV's most memorable moments" thing was pretty much just a ratings ploy. The winners were not even announced on the show! (For those of you still squinting in confusion at your TV wondering when it's going to be announced, the winners were Friends and Buffy...yeah...)

In any case, they tried, and at least there was a ceremony at all. There were some cool set pieces from iconic shows, and some reuniting of old casts, but otherwise, it felt kind of long.

So by now I'm sure you're asking, um who won? Well, here ya go:
