Parenthood - 4x05 There's Something I Need To Tell You

• I cannot wait for Amber + Ryan. The fact that Mae Whitman is a big Friday Night Lights fan just makes it even better. 
• Seeing a kid get his first Little League hit in front of his adopted family can make me cry tears of happiness.
• The words, "There's something I need to tell you" can make me bawl my eyes out. Thanks Parenthood, my tear ducts got a nice flushing this week.
  
  

The X Factor - 2x09 Boot Camp #3

• I get really excited when there's Canadian content on American television. Playback did a cover of Down With Webster's "Rich Girl$"! I know it's a cover of a Hall & Oates song but I wish TV Line gave DWW some credit.
• Painted on cheetah prints do not make you look cool. It just looks like you have some weird skin disease.
• I don't know how those girls managed to stay calm in front of Nick Jonas let alone sing in front of him. That boy just gets hotter with age. He's 20, I can say that now without sounding creepy.

Nashville - 1x01 Pilot

• The last song "If I Didn't Know Better" was so haunting and beautiful. Turns out The Civil Wars sang it years before, which explains why I liked it so much. 
• Hayden Panetierre plays a bitch so well. I don't think she's acting.
• Lennon and Maisy Stella! I hope they get to sing in future episodes.

Now that the trailers are up for the new fall shows, here's the ones I'm planning on giving a try:

The Mindy Project, Tuesdays at 9:30pm on FOX
I love Mindy Kaling so even though the trailer wasn't as funny as I was hoping, I still gotta support her. It helps that it's on after The New Girl since it'll probably appeal to the same audience. My prediction (if the show lasts long enough) - Mindy's character will end up dating the "mean" doctor.


The Mob Doctor, Mondays at 9pm on FOX
This isn't the type of show I would usually get into but there's Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights) and Jordana Spiro (My Boys)! I'm not sure how well it will do but mobsters + hospitals might be an interesting mix. 


Nashville, Wednesdays at 10pm on ABC
Zero points for creativity - this show is almost an exact replica of the movie, Country Strong. But with Connie Britton as the lead, I have to give it a shot. I've got a soft spot for all the Friday Night Lights alumni. I can already see myself hating on the bitchy Hayden Panettiere.


Partners, Mondays at 8:30pm on CBS
Michael Urie essentially plays the same character as he did on Ugly Betty but I'm not complaining, I loved Marc St. James. Also, yay Sophia Bush! I have nothing else to watch on Mondays at 8:30 and it's easy to give a half hour sitcom a chance.


Elementary, Thursdays at 10pm on CBS
I haven't watched BBC's Sherlock Holmes yet so I can't compare the two but from this trailer, I like Jonny Lee Miller's Sherlock Holmes. The fact that Watson is played by Lucy Liu is an interesting change too. As long as the two of them have a good dynamic, I think the show might do well. Thursdays is a tough day though. (Sidenote: I don't know who decided to move Glee to Thursdays but that was a terrible idea. They're already losing viewers and now they have to compete against Grey's Anatomy, The Office, and Parks & Recreation. Obviously, Glee is off my TV list now.)
