Finale Week

Desperate Housewives
Did you watch the season finale of Desperate Housewives? OMG. It was, without a doubt, the best finale to date. To be totally fair, I don't really remember any of the others, and in a year I probably won't remember this one. Still, today, I declare it the best ever. There were twists and turns and answered questions and unanswered questions and tears and laughter and surprises. What else could one possibly want? All that's left to say is this: let it be Susan, let it be Susan.

The Office
Is Pam pregnant? It seems like the obvious answer ... is it too obvious? If she is knocked up, I'll be so happy for her, although I currently fail to see how the writers will throw it into the mix with all of the other humorous subtleties of the show (I guess that's why I'm not a writer in Tinseltown). But I'll also be a little irritated that she and Jim went Hollywood on us and decided to put the horse before the cart. Call me old fashioned.

Dancing with the Stars
I don't plan to vote, but in my head and in my heart I vote for Shawn Johnson. Talk about America's Sweetheart.

American Idol
The top two should have been Danny and Adam. I don't see Kris with a career. Do you? He just doesn't seem cut out for it, whatever that means. Either way, Adam has my vote (which I won't really cast -- see above). He is unique and confident and representative of many teens today (it is what it is). As someone who was blessed with neither the ability to sing nor the confidence to wear crazy clothes and hair and piercings and such, but who claims -- for the moment -- to be an expert on all things cool, I predict a seriously successful career in his future.

The Hills
It's the definition of "train-wreck" -- we don't really want to watch, but we can't look away. I need it to end already so I don't have to waste anymore of my life worrying about how Lauren will work up the courage to fire Stephanie or whether Audrina will start caring enough about herself to realize she doesn't need losers like J.B. and Brody. Thanks to the tabloids, we already know that Spencer and Heidi tied that knot and that Lauren attended even though she said she wouldn't. So hurry up and end, Hills, before US Weekly gives away the rest of your secrets.

Also, just for the record, I will not be watching The Bachelorette this season. I've outgrown that phase. Although ... it couldn't hurt to watch just the opening episode tonight, right?

I would like to, selfishly, put in my vote for Kris. He's the only artist in the top three I see us playing on Top 40 radio. He's very Jason Mraz which is big in our demo right now. Plus, he's, by far, the hottest! ;-) His Kanye made me swoon!

I too told myself I was SO over the Bachelorette, somehow my DVR recorded it ;) I get sucked in even though I don't like the girl they picked.
