"Grey's Anatomy" Show Review

Grey's Anatomy

starring
Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Katherine Heigl,
Sandra Oh, TR Knight, Justin Chambers

Grey's Anatomy presents one of the most ethnically diverse casts on network television today. The acting is brilliant and the storylines, while seemingly outlandish, are incredibly innovative and original. Best of all, the characters are "real" and exhibit real-life emotions and experience real relationship problems and handle them in realistic ways. Above all, they are people you just want to hang out with. Each character contributes to the dynamic of the show and without any one of them, it just wouldn't be the same. Grey's may be listed as a drama, but it's the oh-so-sentimental comedic moments that keep me coming back for more every week. I've never been hooked on a medical drama or comedy of any sort. The Patrick Dempsey factor made me tune in that first week and I've been in love with the show and the phenomenal cast ever since!

"The Office" Show Review

The Office

starring
Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fisher

Having seen nearly all of the UK's "The Office" I can say, as an American, that it I did find it quite humorous. But as an American, I must say that I find American humor to be MUCH funnier and more appealing. Aside from the pilot episode, the two series branched off in very different directions, each hilariously entertaining in their own respect. For an American comedy, "The Office" definitely pushes the envelope to keep up expectations from fans of its UK counterpart. I rarely watch comedies because it's hard to find the right balance of humor and political correctness in sitcoms these days. NBC's premier comedy is witty, relatable, creative, and inspired. The writers on this show are comedic geniuses and never fail to keep us thoroughly entertained.

"The Tudors" Show Review

The Tudors
starring
Jonathan Rhys-Myers, Henry Cavill, Jeremy Northam,
Natalie Dormer, James Frain

If you can get past many of the historical inaccuracies and misrepresentations of characters and watch with a fairly uneducated mind, this show is one of the most visually and aesthetically captivating shows on television. The acting and emotion are superb, the costumes are stunning, and the writing is even better!! It is the kind of show where one cares enough about the characters to have an opinion about each. If you are going to watch only one show on television, make it this one. It bundles every television show element into one. Every episode is packed with drama, comedic moments, real/historic events, and period-appropriate music and dance numbers.

What is "Good TV"?

The actual concept of "good television" varies from tv-watcher to tv-watcher because we all have different tastes in our preferences, but I think we can all agree on the elements of a good tv show.

On the surface:
Good television...

• has great acting
• has attractive actors
• is well-written
• is creative

But underneath it all:
Good television makes you...

• cry
• laugh
• feel good/better
• put your own life in perspective
• care about characters you've never actually met

Good television...

• entertains
• educates
• inspires
• relates

Still, above all:
Good television is realistic without being "reality".
Good television is controversial without being scandalous.
Good television is informative, yet original.
