Top Five Tuesday

Every Tuesday I'm going to a little thing I call "Top Five Tuesday." I'll countdown my top five in everything related to television.

This week I'll be talking about my top 5 tv shows in the drama category.

# 5

Nip/Tuck

I recently just got into this show. I got my boyfriend into a few shows that I liked to watch so he thought it would be nice if I watched something that he was into. He also thought I would like it since I like Grey's Anatomy and they are both medical dramas. So we started from the beginning and I love it! Although, I'm kinda sad that the show is almost over and I just started watching it.

Gossip Girl

Yes, both these are tied for the number 5 spot. I loved the books so I was so excited when I found out it was becoming a show. I started watching it from the start but for some reason I stopped...I'm not really sure why. But when season came out on dvd I ordered it on Netflix and wondered why I stopped watching it in the first place. But since season 2 was already started I didn't want to continue in the middle of the season. So now I have to wait til season 2 comes out on dvd to get caught up. But at least I can start watching season 3 when it premiers =)

#4

Supernatural

I started watching this show when it first came out and I loved it from the first episode. I love scary movies and to me this show is a different scary movie every week. I watched the first season but when I came to college, I stopped watching it because I went out every Thursday and since Supernatural was on Thursday nights it was kinda hard to keep up with it. However, I rented the dvd's as soon as they came out. And this was one show I got my boyfriend into. We argue alot when it comes to the tv, so its nice to be into a few of the same tv shows. I have watched most of the current season but after that last hiatus I've fallen behind a bit. But I will of course rent it when it comes to dvd.

#3

Lost

I didn't really know anything about this show when it first came on tv but my sister started watching it and said that she loved it. So I was at the movie store one night and decided to rent it and see what all the fuss was about. I loved it! Season two was already like halfway done by the time I finished season one so I couldn't start halfway through the season. So I waited til season two was on dvd to watch it. But as season three rolled around I still couldn't watch it because it was on at the same time as One Tree Hill. But then halfway through it switched nights so I was able to watch it. Since I only saw like half the season I had to rent season 3 when it came out so I knew all that was going on. Finally, when season 4 premiered I was able to watch it on tv. And my boyfriend was with me during that episode and of course had no clue what was going on. So I decided to buy season one so he could watch it. He was addicted after the first disk so for a weekend the only thing we did was sit in his dorm room on watch Lost and eat junk food. I didn't need to buy season 2 because my sister got it for Christmas (my mom didn't want to buy season one because it was more expensive lol) so I just got it from her and for another weekend all we did was stay in his dorm room and watch Lost and eat junk food. I then of course had to buy season 3. So at the same time we were starting from the beginning and watching the new season at the same time. I'm sure you all can figure out how confusing this may be for my boyfriend ;) But now, he is as obsessed with this show as I am! And were both sad that the show will be over after the next season. But we will always have the dvds to go back to!

#2

Grey's Anatomy

This is another show that I didn't watch in the very beginning. I think it was because I always watched The WB (and then the CW when it was changed) and I never really watched ABC and that was why I never knew anything about this show or Lost. But my senior year of high school one of my physics partners watched it so she would talk about every now and then. And when I got to college some of my friends watched it every week so I sometimes watched it with them. Even though I didn't know what was going on I still thought it was a great show so last year I started renting the dvds and of course I fell in love with it. I got caught up just in time for the return of the show after one of their mid season hiatus so I was able to finish up the season. My boyfriend watched a couple episodes with me but he would always pretend he wasn't really into it. Then this year I started buying the dvds because I really wanted to watch them over and he started watching them with me (we didn't have cable so there really wasn't much of a choice on what he watched, and which is also why we watched a lot of tv on dvd lol) So then, I got him into another favorite show of mine and he isn't ashamed of it! And even though I just started watching it a year ago, it still has my number 2 spot because this is one show where every episoded has exceded my expectations. I have never been bored watching an episode of this show!

And now...my #1 favorite show (in the category of drama...and just in general)

ONE TREE HILL

This is my number one show because this is the one show I have watched from the very beginning and have never missed an episode. I have been an avid, obsessed fan from the beginning. I've bought ever set of dvds as soon as they come out and every soundtrack. I've also made mix cd's of some of the songs that have been featured in the show that haven't been on the soundtrack. I've also gotten a lot of people I know into this show so I have people to talk about it with. I got my sisters into it: as soon as I got season 1 on dvd I brought it to my dad's and the three of us stayed up all night until we finished the season. Even my little sister got into it. Then one year when we were on vacation I got my mom into it. We were taking a break from the beach one day because we were so sunburnt so I popped in the first disk and she loved it. So the next year we watched season 2. Then when I got to college my friend Rose and I watched it every week together. She never saw much of the show but of course I got her into it. I also got my friend Jackie into it last year. She was always a fan of the O.C instead of One Tree Hill but last year she started from the beginning and loved it. This show has been my number one since it started and will always be. Even though I do prefer the first four seasons over this four year jump...but they have had some crazy episodes in these last two seasons. Even with two of the main characters not coming back next season I will still watch and it will still be my number 1 =)

Well, thats my top 5...What's yours?

Next week I'll countdown my top 5 favorite reality shows

The Shocking Grey's Finale

Yay! Its Thursday Night and for many people, including me, that means Grey's Anatomy is on! Which is on my list of favorite tv shows =) Tonight was the 2 hour season finale. Abc is good on making there season finales 2 hours a lot of the time and heck, I'm not complaining! This season started with a 2 hour premier so why not end with a 2 hour finale? This season has by far been the best season yet! The best and...the saddest. I would have to say that I think I have cried, or have wanted to cry, during every single episode this season. And this episode was no exception.

Here are some of the sadder moments of season 5:

• The woman, in the season premier, losing her memory, which reset every 30 seconds, and also losing her husband.
• The two teenage girls, who are sisters, that were in the car accident and the one is brain dead right after her sister tells her that she hopes she dies.
• The pregnant lady who comes in with her husband, who was the patient, but then herself gets admitted, and ends up dying, resulting in the husband calling Derek a murder.
• All those college students dying on thier graduation day.
  
• And whats up with all these dying children this season? A girl with an inoperable tumor, the little boy who tries to fake dying so he can get a wish but then he really is dying and needs new organs, and the little girl dying and all her dad wants to to is to find ways to save her, when there is no way to save her, instead of staying by her side when she needs him the most.
• But of course the saddest of all...Izzy has cancer!

And now to add to the list...Izzy flat lined after getting her memory back and John Doe is GEORGE! I can not believe it! I'm still in shock! I was in shock when he joined the army and now I'm in even bigger shock. They can't kill both of them off...can they?

Izzy and Alex were so adorable in the beginning I would hate to see all that disappear. I knew it was too good to be true that she came out of that surgery just fine only to have short term memory loss and then to have her memory back. But I'm so glad the Chief said forget the DNR. I mean all she wanted was to not be a vegetable...being recesitated doesn't mean she will be a vegetable.

But I still can't believe that George joined the army. I heard he didn't want to come back to the show and I thought the army would be his send off...but being killed off!? And Arizona saying she thought it was awesome he joined the army! I understand she wished there were more doctors for her brother when he was in the army but obviously she doesn't really know George because he is not army material.

And I was looking forward to see a Derek and Meredith wedding...even if it was at City Hall. But I understand that they are very busy people. If they would have went though, she never would have realized that John Doe was George. So I guess its a good thing. But it was cute what they did with the wedding contract on the post-it. Besides, as long as they signed the wedding license they dont really need a wedding.

Speaking of weddings...what was up with Mark and Lexi? She was really dumb for not realizing that he was asking her to move in with him and then talking about marriage. They are so cute together I hope they don't break up.

Speaking of breaking up...I feel really bad for Bailey. I'm glad she is standing up for herself with the "no ultimatum" but I'm sad for her. Its probably a good thing she didn't take the peds fellowship. She has always been a general surgeon and thats what she is good at.

All and all that was an amazing episode and a great end to a great season. I can not wait until fall when it comes back on!
