Breaking Up With a TV Show

As with any good pop culture lover, TV shows are near and dear to my heart.  I honestly watch too much TV.  Trying to stay on top of it can get difficult.  I only picked up one new show this year, Glee, because I watch too much.  So I am sad that it has come to this, but I must break up with 2 shows.

1. Dollhouse – I’m a Joss Whedon sometimes-fan.  I love Buffy.  Angel was okay.  Never could get in to Firefly/Serenity.  Love Dr. Horrible.  So of course I was willing to give Dollhouse a try.  I watched all last season, despite the fact that I wasn’t loving it.  So when I started to turn a blind eye to the new episodes this season piling up on the DVR, I had to admit to myself that my heart just isn’t in it.  Sorry, Joss.  Goodbye, Dollhouse.

2. Ugly Betty – I think American Ferrera is adorable.  I love the nephew on the show.  Marc and Amanda are awesome.  But I just can’t.  Not anymore.  Farewell, Betty.

Dexter, I’m hoping I can avoid getting to that point with you, but it’s not looking like a healthy relationship for much longer.

Have you broken up with any shows this season?

Joss Whedon to Direct an Ep of “Glee!”

Great news today – Joss Whedon will be directing an episode of Glee. He talks about it over at Whedonesque.

I’m also excited because it was announced today that Jonathan Groff will be joining Glee for 5 or 6 episodes. If you are asking who Mr. Groff is, he played opposite Lea Michele in Spring Awakening. Now, if they could just get John Gallagher Jr. and, oh, maybe 5 or 6 other original Broadway cast members from Spring Awakening to also come on board, I’d be a very happy girl.

Also, if you aren’t watching Glee, you are missing out!
