I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!

There are sooo many premieres whizzing through the TV world at the moment it's making me dizzy (with excitement!).

Private Practice Season 6, Greys Anatomy Season 9, Scandal Season 2, Fringe Final Season 5, Revenge Season 2, Once Upon a Time Season 2, Criminal Minds Season 8, Dexter Season 6, New Girl Season 2, Broadwalk Empire Season 3 and not forgetting some all new shows such as...

... 666 Park Avenue, Last Resort. Phew!

That's not to mention that it was announced today that Franklin & Bash will be back for a 3rd season (premiere date to be announced of course)!

So far I can only comment on the prem of Private Practice.

Firstly, I thought Amy Brenneman looked FANTASTIC! That aside, the format of the show was a refreshing change of pace for the PP team. I really enjoyed it. I don't want to say too much as, obviously a vast proportion of the World are yet to get a chance to see the episode, but I thought it was a good start to the season and hopefully set the viewers up to experience a good few twists and turns in the lives of all at Oceanside Wellness.

I'm off to go and watch GA 901 and Scandal 201. I'll be back soon to give you a heads up on what to expect in both episodes.

Just a quickie re some must see TV...

I've been so busy this summer I haven't had time to blog!

Here's just a quick list of programmes you HAVE to look out for and watch as if your life depends on it:

1 - Suits (USA network): currently on a mid season break in the US to commence Jan 2013. Season 2 starting in the UK Jan 2013 and play through with no break. According to online sources it airs on Dave but this may just be re runs.

2 - White Collar (USA network): season 4 finale airing this week in the US. Season 2 will premiere in the UK on Alibi from 16th October 2012 @ 10pm.

3 - Franklin &; Bash (TNT): season 2 aired in the US this summer finishing in August.  The show runs on E4 in the UK.  I have no information with regards to the show being renewed for a third season but as soon as I find out I'll let you know!

4 - Fringe (FOX):  season 5 is due to premiere on 28th Sept in the US and a date tbc in 2013 in the UK (airing on Sky1).

5 - The Newsroom (HBO):  the season 1 finale aired on 26th Sept in the US and I believe it closed 2 weeks later in the UK airing on Sky Atlantic.  Season 2 will premiere in the US in June 2013 so a while to wait for a return, allowing plenty of time to catch up despite each episode's running time being 60 minutes (75 minutes for the pilot!).

I promise to give full reviews of each of these shows in the coming days so stay tuned!

Some great TV for the UK to anticipate

I have been waiting months for my exams to be out of the way so that I could sit down and enjoy Scandal, the new creation from Shonda Rhimes.   So, did I enjoy it?  Hell yes!

I find myself fast becoming what I can only describe as a fanatic when it comes to the creations of Shonda Rhimes and her company Shondaland.  Yes I realise that the characters are intertwined in each and every one of her series.  Be it by sharing names, their spoken expression or even a face.  Actors appear time and time again crossing over from Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice and now Scandal.  As is the case with Jeff Perry (Meredith's father, Thatcher in GA and now Cyrus Beene in Scandal), Kate Burton (Meredith's mother, Ellis in GA and now Sally Langston in Scandal) and the less obvious Sarah Drew (April Kepner in GA and Judy in Private Practice).  Still I find myself hopelessly addicted to each and every one of these shows, waiting impatiently for the next instalment to appear on a television/computer screen near me.  Scandal is by no means different.

Scandal is not a medical drama so it is unlike GA and PP in that respect.  It is a political thriller packed full of twists and turns and characters who you can grow to love and hate.  Everything a good television show needs.  I encourage all to watch it knowing you will have to find time in your life to become thoroughly enthralled on a weekly basis.

Summer is finally here!

Although the weather may have different ideas, summer is finally here. Exams are over and after one more meeting and an injection or two, uni will be out for 4 months (or technically 16 months as I start my placement come October).

Hopefully I'll get more of a chance to blog over the summer now uni work is out of the way.

Let's start by talking about our plans. I am hoping to travel a bit this summer. Just holidays here and there but I'll try to keep you updated with some pics of the things I get up to! In the meantime let me know what you have planned for this summer!
