Who loves TV?

I'd like to take this opportunity to discuss some of my favorite shows of this season.

1. Weeds, Season 4.
I would just like to say that I resisted watching this show until this summer. It started innocently enough, renting the first disc of season 1...and the next thing I know, I'd seen everything that Nancy Botwin and her family had done over 4 seasons. The fourth season of the show, which airs on SHOWCASE, keeps getting better and better. Anyone who wants to see a hot soccer mom turn into a pot dealer and have to deal with all the pitfalls (money laundering) and benefits (paid cash for a new Prius) of the trade, seriously needs to watch this show. It is hilarious, crazy and totally entertaining. Amazing cast.

2. Heroes, Season 3.
After a lack-luster second season, the cast is back to true form. And VILLAINS! This season sees Claire fighting crime, Sylar being..well, still awesomely creepy, Suresh losing his shit, and Peter still trying to be the "All-American" good boy. So far, it has been pretty great. The story is moving along quite nicely and the only thing that sucks is the loss of the beautiful (and bitchy) Elle, played by the gorgeous Kristen Bell (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Veronica Mars, Gossip Girl).

3. Gossip Girl, Season 2.
Even before you start rolling your eyes, just take a moment to go watch an episode or two. If you still aren't convinced...you're either too old or just don't want to admit to yourself that it is horribly addictive.
Season 2 starts with the group enjoying the tail end of their summer vacations. Chuck Bass, played by the delightful Brit, Ed Westwick, is still the man you wish you were. Heartless, perfectly dressed and totally upfront about his intentions (they are basically sex and money). He and Serena were holed up at their family's home in the Hamptons, along with Nate, while Blair was off in France, and the Humphrey's did their thing in the Big Apple.
Drama soon ensues as they all head back to the city. I can't even begin to tell you what is happening for fear that you haven't seen any of the episodes. But it is truly a great, totally guilty pleasure.

4. The Rachel Zoe Project
"Who the eff is Rachel Zoe?" Well, she's a celebrity stylist with a reality show that may or may not have been cancelled. But it is available on YouTube and is totally awesome. It follows her and her two assistants as they prepare for awards season in Hollywood. It sounds totally ridiculous because it is. That's why I love it. "....I'm getting a total witchvibe."

5. CBC: The National
What Canadian in the right mind doesn't love watching this program? If you don't watch the news, you really need to start.
