Folks, I have a great show for you to watch. It is damn funny. It is called "Rules of Engagement". It is on Monday nights at 9:30 on CBS (in NY- Channel 2). The show supposedly stars David Spade, but I promise you, he is not the star.
Patrick Warburton from "Seinfeld" fame and The Emperor's New Groove 2 (for those who have kids or brothers who directed that movie). He is ridiculously funny. His delivery is just a riot and it is fun to see the other characters try not to laugh. You can catch the first episode online at cbs.com. You will love it. It is a half hour show.
I also love "The Class" but that is on hiatus right now. You can also catch that online at cbs.com. John Ritter's son is in it and he definitely has his dad's comedy chops and he is pretty cute too!
Check them out and let me know your thoughts.

Izzy & George - Puleeese!!!
I don't know about you, but this is foolish. Yes, we all like George and yes we know he thinks he made a mistake with Callie, but if I recall correctly, he was in love with Meredith from day one. Not once did he ever indicate that he liked Izzy. And one comment from him to Callie about Izzy being a "supermodel" who would never like him, is not enough! Do I hear a "Friends" anyone. Rachel never batted an eye at Ross until she found out he liked her, then she "saw the light." I really hope they don't waste good "Grey's" time with a story line of Izzy pining after George and "blurting out" to Callie about her mistep. Let us Pray!
Oh, I love Hector Elizondo. Of course, he hails from one of my favorite movies "Pretty Woman", so I am biased whenever he is onscreee, but he was great. Good Cameo. The guy from "Spin City" was also good, but that story line and Christina's reactions throughout were weird. The writers dropped the ball on that one.
Moving on to better things. I liked the Burke and Christina story line as well. There were spoilers about them not getting married and that may in fact happen, but I hope they do get married. I think though that Colin made a good point that Burke should know what Christina is like and what she can and can't do. So despite, Burke's desire to move forward and not go back, he needs to realize there are two people invovled each going at their own speed. He does not seem to get that. I mean really, how often are people in any relationship driving at the same speed...
Meredith and McDreamy. Pretty good. Their relationship and level of intimacy needs to grow and I am happy that a television show has decided to take a relationship past the boy likes girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl doe-see-doe (think square dance).
I just loved McSteamy. Mark just stole that whole show. His devilish smile just gets me everytime. What is it about him? He has this one side that wants to be with Addison and this other side that is always up for a good competition. And he does it with style. We should all strive for a little more style. (No, we should not strive to be conniving, manipulating, promiscuous people- I am picking and choosing his traits that I like, or at least the ones I will admit to admiring - you pick the ones you like).

Now That's What I'm Talking About!
Last nights episode was a return to what we love. A getting back to the basics. Evetyone was in top form for the most part. There was drama, a little love and lots of intermingling with the characters. Surprisingly, there were more laugh out loud moments than in recent times. No, afterdeath, no patients coiming out of comas and talking within minutes, nobody dying, and no crazy drunkenness. Oh Wait, there was some of that.....
I must say, that most of you know I dislike Katherine Heigl, but she was pretty good last night. Sitting at the table chiding Christina to give up the goods on Colin. So funny! Getting drunk and sleeping with George. Great expression when she looks at him, looks under the covers and just looks back! Weird, even if a bit predicatble. Okay, so we will have a wierdness episode (as usual). But hopefully they will do something novel with it, like have he ge pregnant or something (although I don't think I would like that story line). I just want them to do something else with the "drunk hump" than usual. What do you think?
I do think that George's reaction to Callie confessing about her money was over the top. But thank g-d she kicked him out. How is it that only George thinks the marriage was a mistake? Maybe now its time for him to do some groveling or for Callie to move on. He is starting to lose his appeal to Callie, and to me as well.
Christina and Burke were great. Christina is at a crossroads. I don't believe that as Burke believes, that her problem is that she doesn't let people in. That isn't it. That would take a conscious choice. I think she doesn't know how to let people in and, moreover, she doesn't know what's "in there" to share. She has only sees glimpses of herself. She doesn't know how to create that connection. She grabs at Burke and holds on tight everytime something emotional happens. She is grabbing him, saying she needs him. But she really does not know how to connect. What she knew in her past was being attracted to men like Colin or members of her "man collection". She thought she wanted to be with men that she admired, that she wanted to emulate. After all, wasn't Burke the top in his field, isn't he in thoracics? Let's see what happens with them. She might be too late. Because while she is trying to figure this all out, Burke is now wondering exactly what kind of life he is going to have with her. My answer is: exactly what you see in front of you. He needs to decide if that is enough.
I loved Meredith and McDreamy. When he was sitting with Meredith's father in the laundry room. Both men exposing their weaknesses and fears, and learning that the object of their fear shares the same worry. Whether it is a patient who is a friend or an estranged daughter. By the way, wasn't McDreamy's patient awesome? I foeget the name of the actress, but I know that she has received accolades and nominations fo movies she has been in. Last night you could see why. She was great! You could tell that Patrick Dempsey stepped up his game in his scenes with her.
I alos like that Meredith and McDreamy are moving on and now settling into a nice little relationship. It is also nice to see how they know each other. "She is worth it", he says. We all love to hear that but moreover, to know that the person saying it really knows the person he is talking about.
As for Addison, she is always good. But I wonder if the bet with Mark goes bad and adds to her leaving Seattle for "LA" - New show.
Anyway, all in all a great show last night. Your thoughts?
