I ignored Happy Endings for the first season, but saved up the episodes meaning to give it a try. I’m glad I did since this show is hilarious. There is finally a worthy successor to Friends. On tonight’s episode, Dave’s food truck becomes the trendy hot spot in town thanks to its new liquor license, but Dave’s upset because his friends have stopped coming around. He thinks it’s because they’re jealous of his newfound fame, but the real reason is that his new signature drink is leaving them with erotic dreams in which he’s the star. Colin Hanks costars as himself.

TV Tonight: Wednesday, November 30
You could watch Survivor or The X Factor, but those shows bore me. You really don’t want to waste your time with a show that I’m not sure how it got made into a pilot, I Hate My Teenage Daughter. All the shows that I want to watch are in the 10pm hour starting with Top Chef: Texas. The chefs move from San Antonio to Dallas where they have to make fancy pants food at a high-society dinner party.

Jan 07 2008
TV: Best of 2007
I usually like to do best-of lists after an official season ends in May, but with the crazy writer’s strike on, I might as well just pick the best of 2007 since who knows when the official season will come back (not counting mid-season replacements starting soon to fill the gap). Here is my top 10 list of shows along with some honorable mentions.
1. Dexter

After a fabulous first season, you always wonder if the second season will suffer the sophomore slump. This one didn’t. It changed gears to not just murdering someone each week, but dealing with the Miami PD (that he works for) finding all his bodies and tracking the killer. Then there was Lyla who he met at his 12-step program. I loved her. She was dark and twisted, but also a way for him to open up more and figure out what he wanted to do with his life that was in a disarray with the police investigation going on. The more the season went on, the more tension filled it became, since I had no idea how he was going to get out of the next mess he found himself in as the police and Doakes came closer to discovering the truth. The finale was completely awesome and satisfying. The only downside for the season was Dexter’s sister’s relationship with the FBI guy. She was great in the beginning of the season dealing with dating last season’s serial killer and not trusting anyone. Then it turned icky for the last part of the season. I’m glad that relationship is over now though.
