Another week of TV is in the books. There were plenty high-profile shows ending for the season or going on hiatus, but mostly re-runs because of the upcoming holidays. Let's see what went down:
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles- This was the season finale before the show returns in February at a new night. Interesting storyline with Sarah Connor, who finally gets some real moments on the show that she hadn't had for a few weeks. Awesome ending with a tribute to the mythology of the series. Decent set-up for the character of Riley, though not as interesting. Most everything took a back seat to Sarah, which was fine with me.
Prison Break- Still going strong. Glad to see a character from season 1 make an appearance. A lot of changes were made before the actual season finale tomorrow night. Quite a few surprises made the episode great, as well as some action and tense moments. Considering they could've ended the season with this episode, now the hype is up for the season finale. Hope it delivers.
Heroes- A decent ending before the start of the new season in February. Highlight had to be with Sylar hunting down everyone at Primatech. Some real creativity was shown, although some cheesey moments were also there. Ando's character was stepped up, which was long overdue. The rest wasn't too memorable, but the peek at what's happening next season shows some promise. We'll have to wait and see though.
Friday Night Smackdown!- Actually got a chance to watch a little wrestling! On the upside, some good storytelling with The Miz and John Morrison against Jesse and Festus, a well-done match between Edge and Matt Hardy, and a good welcome for new WWE champion Jeff Hardy. On the downside, a lackluster debut for Ezekiel Jackson, and again more work needs to be done to improve the female wrestlers on the show. In the end, I didn't mind watching this one.
The Soup- The show will be highlighting the best clips of the year, so not too much was new about it. Some jokes were good, but it's hard seeing the same clips again. Still, usually the second part of this special is entertaining, so I'm not too bothered.
WWE Tribute to the Troops- The yearly special took place, and was cut way short. Instead of a full 2-hour event, it was cut down to 1. Only 2 matches took place, and of course the main event had to be the best one. Some little moments were great, including JBL's entrance and some highlights of the troops meeting the wrestlers. Other than that, nothing too outstanding compared to the previous specials.
Sorry if this was a slow TV week, but at least there was something to watch. Coming up in the next blogs will be a highlight of the NY Giants/Carolina Panthers game tonight, Part 2 of The Great Debate (featuring the Wii system), and a look at next year's returning TV shows. Until then, I'm off to find some entertainment.........as for you out there, you might do well to do the same.
