The BubbleGum Geek loves TV. So this week has been especially exciting for the Geek. It's been more then 4 months since the Geek's favorite shows have been on. Between summer school, cable re-runs and DVD marathons, the Geek has been pining for some new storylines. With the return of some of her favorites like "The Office", "It's Always Sunny", and "Heroes" her wish has been fulfilled. Here's some of the BubbleGum Geek's favorite premiere from the past week. . .
ER - This is the final season of this Thursday night staple. The BubbleGeek still remembers the moment when this show captured her heart. But over time, the devotion has wained. It could be from the lack of likable characters or the repeated storylines. However, the death of Dr. Pratt was one of the most heartbreaking departures that this Geek has seen. Of all the character deaths, the BubbleGum Geek would rank Pratt's death as number 3, following Dr. Greene and Lucy Knight. Now, the Geek has to put this out there. It was quite obvious that Pratt was going to die. His character had everything going good for him to that point. Of course, he was going to get the Chief job and propose to his girlfriend. So when the cliffhanger was who was in the ambulance, Pratt was really the only option. With Pratt hovering over the brink of death the entire episode, it was still an emotionally-charged story that brought a few tears to this Geek's eyes.
The Office - Ryan was back as the receptionist and making a list of all the people who's done him wrong. Jim and Dwight are starting to get back to that season 1 and 2 dynamic. Michael's dorkiness was complimented by the new HR rep. And everyone was back to hilarious form. The awwww moment of the night was the Jim and Pam proposal. While the laugh-out-loud moment of the night went to the Pam's summer project reveal. Season three and four were okay, but this season is starting out better than those that preceded it. The BubbleGum Geek can't wait for the next new episode.
Heroes - All this Geek has to say . . . it's back! To take a line from those infamous "Gossip Girl" ads, the OMG moment was definitely the dream Angela Petrilli had. Everyone faced a gruesome death and those responsible were revealed. Who's good? Who's evil? The Geek is intrigued to find out what the hell is going on.
American Dad - Nothing says humiliation like high school. It may be a cartoon, but the depictions of puberty couldn't be farther from the truth. Sure it was exaggerated for cartoon purposes, but when you're going through those high school years, it feels exactly the way Steve felt when those jocks dunked his head in the toilet at the school dance.
Those were just a few highlights from week one of premieres. Looking forward to the next batch of premieres.
