Thanksgiving Week Previews

House: Science and faith are called into question when a patient is admitted to the hospital following his reenactment of the Crucifixion. The patient, Ramon Silva, refuses to undergo the prescribed treatment, and the team learns that after his daughter's cancer was cured, he pledged an oath of self-sacrifice to God. With little time to save Ramon's life, the team struggles to understand his reasoning and seemingly extreme religious convictions, but eventually learn that faith is not an argument.

Glee: Carole and Burt are getting married! Also, Sue's Nazi hunting mother returns home to pay a surprise visit to her daughter.

OTH: No new episode. But, they did get picked up for a full season!

ANTM: This week ANTM is doing a recap of all the most memorable moments so far this season. This is good for me since I have missed just about every episode due to work. Next week is the finale!

Friday Night Lights: I will also be home in time to watch this as well. I have to say, FNL is one of my favorite shows. Watching it reminds me how much I love the atmosphere that comes with a good football team and I hate that I have missed so much of it. There is no information anywhere on the web because it's exclusively on DirecTV right now. But, that means no commercials for me :)

I will actually be home in time to watch all of these so I will have a busy couple days posting their recaps. Thankfully, we break for the holidays tomorrow so I will have more time that I usually do.

November 15-19 Previews

House: After a 200-year-old medicine jar found on an off-shore shipwreck shatters in a teenage girl's palm, she is admitted to Princeton Plainsboro for symptoms closely linked to smallpox. When the Center for Disease Control's Dr. Dave Broda institutes a lockdown on the hospital and suspends House's team's ability to diagnose, Masters grows suspicious of Broda's motives and becomes convinced that the patient is suffering from a different disease. The girl's father soon experiences similar symptoms, and House is forced to make a precarious decision that puts his own life in jeopardy.

Glee: Gwenyth Paltrow makes a guest appearance as Holly Holiday when Mr. Schue takes a sick day.

OTH: Thanksgiving ep. The gang gathers at Nathan and Haley's house for the holiday.

16&Pregnant: Markai is our mom this week. From the looks of the preview, there are some serious trust issues going on.

ANTM: The final 4 girls meet one-on-one with Vogue Italia's editor-in-chief, Franca Sozzani and the girls are challenged to pose with emotion through movement. Double elimination this week!

Luck be a Lady (OTH) Overview



Finally I get to watch an episode! I have missed just about all of them so far this year. So here's a little bit of catch up:
Haley is pregnant!
Nathan retired
Brooke and Julian are getting married
Quinn and Clay almost died but they are alive now.

And now, this episode!

Brooke and Julian's mom, Sylvia, are going to the annual Tree Hill Bridal Expo to gather ideas for Brooke's wedding. Turns out Sylvia and her have nothing in common in terms of taste and so Brooke called Haley to try and second her opinions. This also backfires because of Haley's pregnancy hormones and Brooke ends up taking a drunk Sylvia home from the expo.

Julian is on the hunt for a best man and his idea of male bonding comes in the form of a poker night at Nathan's house.This also turns out horribly wrong. Mostly because everyone loses their money to Julian because Alex (who left for a while then came back to apologize to Chase. He didn't want anything to do with her so she came up with the master plan of being the dealer so they could spend some time together. And that backfired too) stacked the deck so that Julian would win every time.

Nathan is now working as an agent for Clay's company and his first order of business was to go to Atlanta to sign the Falcons' QB who recently fired his agents. Initially after meeting with the teams publicist, he feels like he has messed it up completely and is mad at Clay for sending hi to Atlanta without any knowledge of the business. Turns out he didn't need it because the QB signed with them.

Skills came home for a little pre-wedding visit and for some reason he brought a mannequin that looks like Lucas with him. He and Mouth talk about their lives and how Mouth and Millie have stopped trying to get back together.

Haley and Mia are working on singing a new act for the label.  They both want to sign Erin from the open-mic night but when Haley asks her about it, she hangs up. (Erin is a client of Haley's) But, at the end of the episode, Erin shows up at Red Bedroom and asks Haley whether or not she actually liked her music. Haley says yes and later receives a call from Erin saying that she will be coming in to the studio tomorrow.

Wish you well,

November 1-5 Overview

House: No new episode due to the World Series Game 5.

Glee: No New episode. Why? I don't know either.

OTH: Finally a new episode! Julian's mom shows up to help Brooke plan the wedding and it just turns into a hot mess. Nathan is struggling with his new job (which I don't know what it's supposed to be) and Haley's counseling abilities are challenged. Skills comes home with a new friend from LA and Julian is on the hunt for a best man. I'm so happy! I don't have to work tonight so I'll actually get to watch this!

16&Pregnant: Our mom-to-be this week is Felicia. From the looks of it, this will be a more interesting episode than last week. She has a lot of pressure put on her by her mom to do well in school because no one in her family has graduated from high school. Baby daddy's name is Alex and he doesn't look like he cares a whole lot about either one of them.

ANTM: The girls are on the move to Italy! Upon arrival they will do a photo shoot on gondolas and visit their first Italian Fashion House, Missoni.

Friday Night Lights: Coach finds out not everyone is pleased by the Lions' strong showing in the season opener; Vince's newfound football stardom comes with perks; Luke faces consequences for his aggressive play.

October 25-29 Previews

House: Amber Tamblyn joins House for a multi-episode arc as Martha Masters, a brilliant but inexperienced third-year medical student whom Cuddy forces House to hire as a female team member in Thirteen's absence. In the midst of a tight senatorial re-election race, the New Jersey incumbent's campaign manager mysteriously falls ill with liver failure and temporary paralysis. After a surprising campaign announcement is made by the incumbent, House and the team look to the candidate to find clues about the patient's condition. Meanwhile, Foreman learns that Taub has a past connection to Masters, and in an effort to save his patient's life, House must make a critical decision that may compromise his relationship with Cuddy.

Glee: It's finally here! The Rocky Horror Glee Show!! Will gets the club to do a production of RH for the annual fall/winter play and in an attempt to woo Emma because it is her favorite movie. Finn and Rachel will be playing Brad and Janet, Kurt is Riff-Raff and everyone thought John Stamos was going to be Dr. Frank N. Furter but Mercedes will be playing him instead. Little dissappointed in this but I don't make all the decisions.

OTH: My favorite show is taking the week off. Probably so that it doesn't have to compete for viewers with Glee.

16&Pregnant: The new season opens up with Brooke from Texas who likes to race cars and she met her baby daddy at the track. They are living together at her house and things look like they will be super dramatic with these two.

ANTM: Designer Zac Posen surprises the girls at their beach house to inform them they will be wearing his fall 2010 collection during this week's runway challenge. The girls put their personality to the test when they shoot their very first commercial while wearing roller skates on the beach. Posen is also this week's guest judge.

Friday Night Lights: The (final) season premiere is Wednesday. I have heard absolutely nothing about what will be happening in this season. We'll just have to wait and see. It will air on DirecTV's 101 network at 9pm

Project Runway: It's Finale time!! The final 3 (Gretchen, Mondo and Andy) will be showing at Fashion Week and a winner will be crowned!

October 18-22 Previews

House: After a newborn experiences inexplicable breathing problems and liver failure, House and the team look at the baby's mother, Abbey's, own medical history for possible clues. When the team makes a discovery about her newborn's health, Abbey is presented with a difficult decision that could potentially affect both her baby's health and her own. Meanwhile, following Cuddy's directive, House challenges Foreman and Taub to hire a female doctor to join the team. When Cuddy asks House to babysit her daughter, both House and Wilson learn a few hard lessons in parenting.

Glee: No new episode this week :( They are teasing us so that more people will watch next week's Rocky Horror ep. Which I am super pumped for. I already requested that day off of work so I (hopefully) won't miss it. Fox.com has some pretty grand previews up if you wanna check those out. But really, who doesn't? You can see them here.

OTH: Tree Hill must be ahead of the normal world because this week, they are doing their Halloween episode. Looks like Katie come back from the dead to haunt Quinn and Clay, Mia and Haley are hosting an open mic night and Nathan is starting a new career.

Project Runway: Well I guess I was wrong. There are 2 episodes left not just one. I knew that there only being one episode left sounded weird but I wasn't sure. This week they narrow down from four contestants to three and we see what people have been working on!

ANTM: The girls head over to the Grammy Museum and the CEO of the recording company states that one of them will be chosen as the "Grammy Girl" for this year's Grammy Awards. In the photo shoot, they are to portray iconic fashion designers. Guest judge and photographer, Francesco Carrozzini.

Teen Mom: This week is the reunion with Dr. Drew.

Preview Overview October 11-15

Glee: This week's episode, the kids pair up and do duets and there is a little competition involved. The main focus is the newly formed Artie-Tina-Mike love triangle and the reappearance of Sam. Rachel and Finn throw the competition so that Sam has a better chance of wining. Based off of the information I've gathered, I think that he joins the club because of his injury.

OTH: This is going to be an interesting episode. It is the first time The CW has combined two shows into one episode type thing. I'm hoping it doesn't turn out like a Disney Channel special. OTH and Life Unexpected are coming together for music purposes. Haley books Mia a show in Portland (where Life Unexpected is set) so that she can get away from Chase (her ex-lover) and Alex (mega-slut man-stealer). Everyone is alive (including Clay and Quinn yay!) and will be attending Mia's show.

Project Runway: This week's episode will determine which 3 contestants will show at Lincoln Center in the final. This means double elimination!

House: This week's patient is a lady named Margaret who won't stop throwing up. Yum. Turns out she isn't who she says she is and the team looks into her past to help cure her. Chase hires someone to replace 13 and House doesn't give her the warmest welcome. Also, a visit from House's massage therapist forces Huddy to face the reservations in their relationship.

ANTM: The remaining models are doing group shots in motion this week. I haven't been watching so I haven't picked a girl that I want to win yet for this season. Nevertheless, there looks like there is gonna be some drama amongst the pairings and I can't wait to watch!

Wish you well,

Preview Overview Glee and OTH

OTH: In the lovely little "Tree Hill in 20" preview that the CW does, here's what's been revealed:

• Brooke's mom is trying to find a way to make the whole "I'm in prison" thing work for them as good publicity.
• Nathan said something along the lines of "I'm still going to play basketball".
• Alex is a mega slut.

And that's all I picked up from it. If you don't believe me, you can check it out here.

There was also a clip released from next week's episode that showed Brooke and Julian at some estate where Julian wanted them to get married. Not much was revealed in terms of general storyline but it had a fluffy little moment for all you Brulian fans.

Glee: This week's episode is the religion episode. I didn't actually watch the previews for it but thanks to Wikipedia and Fox Broadcasting, I have a pretty good understanding of what is supposed to happen.
Finn sees the face of Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich. Perhaps a reference to this story about a woman in Florida with Mary on a sandwich.
Kurt's dad finds himself in the hospital in a life or death situation. This sparks the rest of the glee kids to rally around Kurt in his time of need.
Mercedes brings Kurt to church with her.

This week's songs include:
"Losing My Religion"
"Papa, Can You Hear Me?"
"One of Us"
"I Look to You"
"Only the Good Die Young"
"Bridge over Troubled Water"
"I Want to Hold Your Hand"

Wish you well,
St. Ann

Preview Recaps

Hola! Today is Monday! That means episode preview recaps :{) To be honest, I only got to watch Glee and parts of OTH last week so those are the only two I'll be doing today.

Glee: This week is the Britney Spears episode! As far as the preview is concerned, this looks better than the Madonna episode from last season. They are doing "Toxic", "...Baby One More Time", "Oops!...I Did It Again", "Stronger", "I'm A Slave 4 U", "Me Against the Music" and "The Only Exception" (All Britney except "The Only Exception", which is Paramore.) Sue seems outraged by the fact that they are singing Britney, John Stamos will make his first appearance as Carl, Emma's dentist boyfriend and Britney will make a cameo in the episode in a anesthesia-induced dream sequence at the dentist's office.

OTH:  Clay is still in between life and death, Brooke is firing her mother and Mouth and Millie are more than likely going to be getting back together. I am happy about Mouth and Millie. They have been one of my favorite couples over the course of the series. I'm not sure what they are going to do with Clay's character. He has a star billing and a part in the show's opening credits which means that they won't kill him off (if they do) any time soon. I saw another preview that has Nathan asking about whether or not a kidney donor would be coming up soon and if not, that he would donate if he was a match. This would end his NBA career and then the basketball aspect of the show (one of the things that I love) would be out.

Because I don't have to work tomorrow, I will have time to catch up on all my shows so I should have more recaps up during this week.
