Praise For Some Excellent Television

Things I've Watched This Weekend I Found Interesting

Even Stevens
Last night I saw an episode that was brand new to me, "Battle Of The Bands." It was awesome! My favorite part was probably Tawny's poetry, which was hilarious and not at all what I expected (The sandals of my soul go flip flop flip flop).

The show also had almost everything you could ask for from ES -- funny sight gags (Louis' head sticking through a drum, Artie's dyed hair), completely random lines (Artie, after his band didn't get the gig they wanted: "I'll have to go back to my first love, figure skating"), and even not-quite-sappy brother/sister bonding moments between Louis and Ren. The only thing missing was Louis/Tawny moments, but there was interaction and not really room for much else, so I'm not complaining.

Soap
My favorite episode came on Friday night, Episode 39 (which I looked up on TV Tome), when Jessica, Benson, and Billy visit an on-the-run Dutch and Eunice. A cop stops by, prompting Jessica and Benson to pose as a married couple, with Billy as their son(!).

Most of the lines from that particular scene had me practically on the floor, but they're so ridiculous that it doesn't quite work just writing it here. For example, when the cop notices two extra place settings, Billy explains that it's for the twins, Candy and Randy. When asked where they were, Jessica proudly announced they were in the outhouse (a word which she had just learned earlier in the episode). "Together?" the cop questions doubtfully. "Have to," Benson replies. "Siamese." Jessica chimes in, "Candy and Randy will be sorry to have missed you. They're both hoping someday to be a policeman."

Port Charles
I've only seen Friday's episode from this past week, but I enjoyed it so much! "Shippy" moments for my three favorite couples -- Rafe and Alison, Caleb and Livvie, and Lucy and Kevin. Yes, I know Lucy and Kevin's was magic-induced, thanks to little Christina (who looked adorable). Even so, I loved being able to see them share a kiss. They still have amazing chemistry, and it reminded me of how well they work together. Sigh.

Okay, now that that's out of my system, I really need to get to work. I hope everyone has a safe, peaceful, and enjoyable Sunday (or whatever day you might be reading this).

Oh my gosh! I love Soap. I haven't watched it in a while but it's a great show. I remember being bummed about them being canceled because I wanted to find out who dies or doesn't in the end. I'd love it if they put it out on DVD. And I loved Jodie! lol But they are all so great!

And I haven't seen PC since I've been away. I'm glad there were Kevin and Lucy scenes though. I want them back together. :(

I'd love it if Soap came out on DVD, too. I was asking one of my friends about that this past weekend, actually. Unfortunately, I've only seen the show on TV Land, and they only seem to air the same set of episodes from the second season over and over again. I want to find out what happens with Corinne's baby, lol.

I used to see it on Comedy Central a few years back. And I don't really remember much about what happened though. I only watched here and there so all the events are sort of jumbled in my head lol So i'm no help with answering what happened to Corinne's baby. Sorry. :\

Oh, don't worry about it. If I weren't so lazy I'd go check online for recaps. Hmmm, maybe I will do that sometime. :)
