I get way too invested in this show but I'm so happy for Montana; I really hope she has international success. Ditto with Liz.

I can't wait to see my other favourite Australia model, Miranda Kerr, at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on November 29 (CBS @ 10pm). I may not have the body for it but I love lingerie!

It appears Once Upon A Time is not the only new show coming out lately that has a slight fairytale theme to it. While Once Upon A Time seems to be just a mix of fantasy with drama, Grimm is both those and more - mystery and thrill!

What is the very first TV show that you have ever watched and kept up with until the very end? For me, it was What I Like About You. I have never really watched any TV before this (hard to believe?), but somehow this seemingly not-so-popular show had caught my attention. Perhaps it was the hot and sexy Nick Zano...or maybe it was the relationships between all the characters in the show...or even the fact that every single character cracked me up! But regardless of what it was that lured me in, I was definitely addicted to this show!


The show only ran 4 seasons, which is unfortunately short, but also pretty awesome because it meant the storyline wasn't dragged out for all eternity such that the network could profit some more off of it. I would definitely buy every single season on DVD if I could. But that's just it - I can't!!! Why, you may ask? Because only the first season is out on DVD!! I wish that wasn't the case just so I could watch the entire show all over again, at any time that I want. (I really would...many, many times if I could.) In my opinion, this show was underrated and definitely deserved more attention!

I know there's a very small percentage of people in North America who watch Australia's Next Top Model. My sister and I are actually the only people following the show on followmy.tv but it is so much better than every other version of the show. Not only are the Australian accents awesome but the models are legitimately good and the photoshoots are gorgeous.

Here are my two favourites of this season: Montana and Liz. They're two of the Top 3 so one of them better win! Enjoy the pics.

The last thing I needed was another new show, especially on Sundays which somehow have become my busiest TV day. The commercials for Once Upon A Time looked pretty cheesy but I figured there was no harm in recording it (I don't know how I ever survived without PVR; seriously, it's awesome). I was too busy to watch the pilot when it aired but my mom did and she liked it! My mom is so critical when it comes to new shows! I watched it this morning and I'm so glad I recorded it. I know it's only been one episode but I'm already really excited for the next episode and that's always a good thing.

I love the way they've incorporated different fairytale characters in a modern world. I can't wait for more of them to be revealed. The best part of the episode was seeing Prince Charming in a sword fight while carrying his baby in his arms! I don't know why but I could not stop laughing, hahaha. And I can already tell that I'm going to love the storyline between Mary (Snow White) and John (Prince Charming).

Watch it! Sundays @ 7pm on CTV or 8pm on ABC.

Jason Dohring popped up on Ringer last week just as I was about to give up on the show so obviously, I can't give it up now. It's Logan Echolls, of course I have to keep watching! He's one of those actors I will forever associate with their characters. I'm pretty sure I'll be referring to him as Logan the entire time he's on Ringer.
There's so many actors who will never escape their characters no matter how hard they try.

• Logan Echolls, Veronica Mars
• Michael Scofield, Prison Break
• Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl
• Dexter Morgan, Dexter
• Dr. Shepherd, Grey's Anatomy
• Seth Cohen, The O.C.
• ...and the list goes on

Is it bad that it takes me a while to remember their real names? And sometimes I still can't come up with their name! I'm sure everyone has this problem, right?

I've been pretty tough on new shows this season because I'm trying not to add more shows onto my ever-growing list of shows I can't live without. I only started watching four new series: Pan Am, Up All Night, Charlie's Angels and New Girl. On an interim basis at least. Even with only four, I'm trying my best to keep from being too invested in them. So far, it's been working out pretty well. I only watch the new episodes when I'm bored and I have nothing to do.

Things might change with Pan Am. The main reason I started to watch Pan Am was because it was on after The Good Wife and I had nothing else to do. The pilot was pretty impressive but the second episode wasn't as interesting. I was ready to let this show go. That is, until last night's episode. The whole episode was much better than episode two as a whole, but what really caught my attention was Karine Vanasse's Colette Valois. A French stewardess, Colette spent this episode dealing with her hatred towards Nazi Germany (since the stewardesses flew into Berlin).

Last night, Colette gave Pan Am depth and emotion. If the Pan Am writers can give us more scenes and story lines like these, I might actually have to add this show to my list permanently.

I don't watch nearly as much TV as Kelly and Nicole do, but every now and then, I would spend hours marathoning away at shows. I probably won't have as many ramblings as my fellow friends do, but I will definitely contribute my thoughts to this blog as best as I can. ;)

Sometimes I question the taste of the general public. How is Dancing With The Stars in its 13th season? America's Next Top Model has managed to get 17 seasons. CSI: Las Vegas, CSI: New York, and CSI: Miami have a combined 30 seasons; are 3 versions of the same show really necessary?

I've made a list of shows that I feel were cancelled way too soon. 10 points if you can guess them all!

Watch out for:

Why I wanted to watch this show: A lot of people on tumblr seemed to watch (and like) this show and it was all over my dash. Eventually, my curiosity got to me and so I buckled and decided to watch all six seasons of the new Doctor Who.

First impressions: I thought Doctor Who was really cheesy and really... British at first. I didn't really get the humour and some of the aliens/monsters were a bit ridiculous. (See: Slitheen). But I thought the Ninth Doctor was very charming and Rose grew on me eventually.

How I feel about the show now: It took me awhile to warm up to this show but I can honestly say now that I enjoy Doctor Who very much. The three Doctors were brilliantly cast and they were all amazing. Each one had his own personality and flaws - which makes it nearly impossible to pick a favourite. But even though I couldn't name a favourite Doctor, I have to say I like the seasons with the Eleventh Doctor the best (five and six). I think it's a combination of Steven Moffat's writing, the relationship between Doctor/Amy/Rory and just getting used to the show in general.

Why I would recommend this show to other people: It's a fun show but it also makes you think sometimes - mostly, about morality and humanity. It's a good mix of science fiction and fantasy. Some episodes are exceptionally good (like the season 5 finale which dealt with the complexity of a non-linear concept of time in a way that played out like a movie). The series as a whole is pretty well thought out and the continuity on this show is quite impressive. That's something I appreciate in a show. Plus, there's so many references to Doctor Who on other shows and pop culture in general. To name a few, there's Leverage, Community and indirectly, Fringe, which borrows some details from Doctor Who.

Spoiler Alert: Contains spoilers for 3x04

Have you ever tried to tell someone why they should watch Parenthood? For me, it goes a little something like this: "It's about a family. And... their lives..." And people look at me, expecting more from this wonderful show I'm raving about. But the truth is, that really is what Parenthood is about, and that's what makes it great.

Parenthood isn't about love triangles or angsty will-they-or-won't-they drama. The show doesn't have a cast cut right out of a teen magazine. There's no big mystery to solve or a big bad villain to defeat. It's just about a family. And their lives. Jason Katims has some magical power in making mundane, everyday life seem interesting, because somehow Parenthood just works.

Last night's episode was a great example of what Parenthood is all about. It was an emotional roller coaster of awkward first dates, embarrassing parents, breakups, blood-is-thicker-than-water speeches, saying thank you and goodbye to the family of the girl you just broke up with, and simple victories like getting your loan approved for your business and having a breakthrough moment with the girl you like.

I wish I could somehow make people feel what I feel when I watch this show. But for now, I guess I'm still stuck with "It's about a family. And their lives."

How I Met Your Mother: Barney Stinson & Robin Scherbatsky
The writers teased us with a "legendary" season four by putting these two together and then took it away from us the following season. What's up with that? (Cue SNL singing...but I digress). Barney as a womanizer is becoming a tired old routine and I'm glad that they're hinting at him getting married this season. Robin better be the girl at the end of the aisle though because they're clearly awesome together.

Gossip Girl: Dan Humphrey & Blair Waldorf
I admit, I'm a sucker for couples that initially hate each other and then later realize that they have a lot more in common than they realized (e.g. Veronica Mars & Logan Echolls, Haley James & Nathan Scott). I know there are a lot of people who think Blair and Chuck are "endgame" but I really think Dan is a better guy for Blair. Their relationship is a lot more real and it doesn't require games and dramatics. And c'mon, look how adorable the two of them are with their flirty smiles at each other. By the way, why is Prince Louis even still there? The royal wedding storyline is ridiculously unbelievable and does anyone even like Louis?

Hawaii Five-0: Steve McGarrett & Kono Kalakaua
The possibility of this happening is so slim. It doesn't help that a new character has been added to the show as a love interest for Steve. I think Alex O'Loughlin and Grace Park have such great chemistry though. Look at that smile they're giving each other! And the look of concern from Steve at the end of Season 1 when he sees that Kono has been arrested. I think if these two ever get together, I may just die. I don't even need the two of them to date, I'd be satisfied with some flirting between the two of them. Make it happen!

I have decided to pop my blog cherry with tonight's episode of The Good Wife. I loved tonight's episode. I'm probably going to say that about every episode of The Good Wife, but for now I'll attempt to defend my overwhelming feelings for this show anyway.

First off, I liked the case they were facing. Well, maybe not so much the case as much as the fact that Alicia and Will had to deal with the British courts. The British courts have different customs and laws that Alicia and Will aren't accustomed to, and that makes for some pretty funny moments (see: Will's face when the judge called him out for turning his back to him). Plus, I think Lockhart-Gardner needs some curveballs thrown at them every now and then.

Another reason why this episode was awesome was this new relationship between Eli and Kalinda. How did we ever survive without an Eli/Kalinda working relationship before? Putting together the two most badass characters on the show can only result in awesomeness. And the promise of more to come makes me giddy with excitement.

Fast-forward through some other great moments tonight: Zach guessing what happened between his parents, Zach being extra nice to his mom because of it, Will's face when Alicia turned it on during the proceedings, Will and Alicia planning to do it in the bathroom, the lowly solicitor sticking it to the big bad bully...

And then there's Diane Lockhart. Diane, who is truly the HBIC on this show. She says so much without having to say anything directly and she knows so much more than she lets on. But she keeps a cool head and stays out of the drama. She knows what she has to do logically and that reasoning threatens to shake things up at Lockhart-Gardner.

Great work by the writers. I'm looking forward to more of this season.

Like Kelly mentioned, I'm a pretty new convert to the wonderful world of TV. I used to love movies more than television, but there have been a few shows along the way that made me change my mind about that.

I watch the occasional episode of SYTYCD or X-Factor every now and then, and I'm starting to watch more half-hour sitcoms, but my heart lies with well-written dramas.
