We last saw New Directions placing third at Regionals. Now the students of McKinley High are back from their summer off. Some things have changed and some things have stayed the same.
Audition – New Directions is one member down due to Matt (Dijon Talton) transferring. The character Matt was never given a chance and I think it’s a shame for the actor. All the school clubs have placed their try-out sheets. While the Cheerios has pages of names, with a queue of students yet to sign, New Directions hasn’t got a single one.

ADVANCE REVIEW: RUNNING WILDE – SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 “PILOT”
I had the chance to review the pilot for Will Arnett's new comedy, Running Wilde. It premieres on Tuesday, September 21st on FOX.
The show teams Will Arnett and Keri Russell with the people behind Arrested Development and it’s enough to get anyone who’s a fan of them, excited.
I’ve been waiting to see Arnett in a regular TV role again as he’s one of those people that make me laugh no matter what he does. His guest appearances on 30 Rock and Parks & Recreation weren’t enough for me. I was wondering how casting Russell with Arnett would work as I’ve only seen Russell in Felicity. After viewing the pilot, I’m still on the fence about the duo.

Returning shows I'm looking forward to
After waiting all summer, the time has finally come for the shows that ended in May, to return. Thought there are many shows I'm looking forward to returning, there are some that I'm looking forward to more.
The Vampire Diaries
This show was one of the best new shows last year. It had the ability to keep me on the edge of my seat every episode and its finale was no different. It was a finale that had me buzzing about it weeks after I saw it. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it from the very first episode as I was rolling my eyes at yet another show about vampires but somehow it continues to be fresh.
Grey's Anatomy
Like The Vampire Diaries, it was one of my favourite finales but for different reasons - it played upon the emotions. We were promised a game changer and it certainly delivered. How the characters deal with the aftermath is the question.
Fringe
This show is in my top 5 shows and like the previous two, was one of my favourite finales. The show just keeps getting better with outstanding performances and storylines. With the alternative universe being shown more, the show looks to keep up its consistency of being something not to miss.
Community
This is one of my favourite comedies and if you haven't seen it already, just watch the episode Modern Warfare and you'll be hooked. It has one of the best ensembles with funny and consistent writing. I shall continue to review the episodes on Series.nu
Other shows that I'm looking forward to but just not as much
Parenthood
Life Unexpected
Modern Family
Cougar Town
Glee
Castle
The Middle
The Good Wife
Two shows that I was considering dropping form my viewing list were Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives but the casting of Katie Cassidy and Vanessa Williams respectively have breathed a new sense of anticipation for me and I shall keenly watch to see how both shows utilize the actresses.

Must Be The Music a breath of fresh air?
I have to admit that when I first saw the promos for Must Be The Music, sceptical was one of the words to describe my reaction. I rolled my eyes at the prospect of yet another reality music show.
Though I enjoy the initial audition stages of X Factor and Idol, I have grown tired of the latter stages of both these shows. The endless theme nights including songs that are performed every year have made be lose interest in the live shows.
No matter how well a singer performs week after week or how much I like them, it doesn't guarantee I'll buy their music. Just because you do an outstanding version of a Mariah Carey or Beatles song doesn't mean I'll purchase your album.

Brits Prefer Ad Free World Cup Final
Now that the World Cup is over, normal TV schedule has resumed but what have we learned from the last game - Britain prefers to watch their football coverage without ad interruptions.
Over the tournament, coverage was equally shared between BBC and ITV but the final was the only game both channels broadcast at the same time. This was also shown on their HD channels.
18.4 million viewers watched Spain win over the four channels – BBC1, BBC HD, ITV1 and ITV1 HD.

Review: Glee s1ep22 - Journey (Series.nu)
The moment has finally arrived as New Directions competes at Regionals. This episode recaptures the best parts of the show – a good storyline, brilliant and well placed song choices, with a Journey medley at the heart of it.
With the episode entitled Journey, it takes a brief look into how far the glee club has come as they deal with the possible realization that the club will be over after Regionals.
The episode is filled with some heart warming moments. My favorite moments include the Journey medley and the placement of Quinn giving birth during Vocal Adrenaline’s performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. I like the way the scenes were cut and placed together.

Review: Glee s1ep21 - Funk (Series.nu)
From the second the episode started I was filled with confusion. The recap stated Jesse had left the glee club but in the first scene, Kurt talked about having Jesse in the group and Rachel was surprised to see Jesse on stage with Vocal Adrenaline.
I questioned why the episode title was used so frequently. I didn’t go down the route of counting how many times the word ‘funk’ was said, but it was definitely too much for my fingers and toes to manage.
The whole episode left me wondering what the vision was. Most times I felt it was all over the place, jumping too quickly at times from one scene to the next.

Review: Glee s1ep20 - Theatricality (Series.nu)
Vampires are real – at least in the mind of Principal Figgins and that’s how the episode opens. Figgins has Will and Tina in his office telling her she can’t dress Goth. With the KISS and Lady GaGa inspired outfits, they are the lighthearted storylines sandwiched between a serious and at one point emotional episode.
