Our TV Gift To You
Ah, Christmas, nzone TV never knows what to buy you for the holidays. You give so much and ask so little, and get so little, given how we phone it in a lot around here. Kidding. But this year, we really thought about it and we came up with a good list of gifts for fans of various hit shows. Find your favorite series and see what we wish we could leave under your tree. (Note: we can’t though, so don’t leave the door open for us on Christmas eve…)
CSI fans : another spinoff. No, we’re not talking CSI: Scranton, here, though, actually, that would be awesome. We just realize some of you really hate the Grissom-Sara thing and others dig it. So our gift to you would be CSI: Original, with two different versions- one with a returning Sara and one where she is killed off in a tragic blimb accident, Naked Gun style. This would be a gift to us, too, since we’re really tired of the debate.
House fans: "The B-tch" comes back. And we don’t mean Chase. What? Anyone who reads TV scoop knew circa last June that the doc House lovingly named "the b…" was not destined to be one of the three House would pick for his new team. But is anyone at all excited by the conflicts potentially arising from the three he did choose? We aren’t either, so, if it were up to us, we’d bring back the (bleep), and while we’re at, old non-MD guy and Big Love, too.
ER fans: a disclaimer at the start of the next episode that the episode where Abby slept with Moretti was just a dream. In fact, we’d go so far as to clear out the last two seasons as a dream. Sorry Stamos, you were starting to grow on us.
Grey’s Anatomy Fans: a ticket to L.A. for Izzy. We’re hard pressed to locate any George and Izzy fans (we refuse to call them Gizzy…), so we’d send Izzy to L.A. to join Private Practice and get rid of the whole issue. This might work out anyhow since Katherine Hiegl is all in the movies and what not.
Brothers & Sisters Fans: ThirtySomething, the complete DVD collection. If you want to watch a show about whiney rich caucasiany people, why not watch the original? Heck, producer Ken Olin and actress Patricia Wettig are in it, anyhow, so what’s the dif? Have fun in an angsty kind of way.
The Office Fans: a gift set containing the following: Schrute bucks, Schrute beets, a coupon for the Schrute b&b, and a cat euthanizing kit.
For Family Guy fans: we’re not sure what teenaged boys are into this year, so, we’ll just get you a gift certificate to the mall. Merry Christmas, dudes.
For Pushing Daisies Fans: a scrapbook containing all the reviews where critics declaring love for this magical, candyland-like dramedy. We’ll decorate the book with whimsical drawings and throw in some yummy homemade pies, too.
For Nip/Tuck and Rescue Me fans: the addresses of all Pushing Daisies fans so you can drive over and beat the crap out of them. In fact, we’ll give you all a lift.
For all Damages and 24 fans: dvd copies of each series so you can compare and contrast which had the most plot holes and padded episodes. Oh no we di’nt!?
For Monk fans: another subscription to Cleanser of the Month Club okay? We know how you are about change. And we’ll remember to use to put the tape pieces up and down this year on the wrapping paper instead of left to right. We wouldn’t want a repeat of last year…
For How I Met Your Mother Fans: A slap. Not because it’s a joke on the show, but because you need some sense knocked into you if you’re a fan this series.
For Heroes fans: the secret power of your choice. Just don’t use it in public or Veronica Mars will come after you.
Criminal Minds fans: tickets to the next Mandy Patinkin concert. Heh, get it, cause he quit the show?
Dexter Fans: Whatever you want, just ask, just please- don’t hurt us!
The Sopranos fans: A copy of David Chase’s book about the show- with the last page blacked out. Get it, cause that’s how he ended the show?
And with that, Merry Christmas to all, and to all…. an end to the writer’s strike before they run out of original episodes of your favorite shows!
