Throwback Thursday: Friends Season 1 (June 2017)

I feel like this is something I'll end up re-reviewing in a Throwback Thursday... more than once... just because I watch Friends all the time... and it just makes me happy so I think if I can watch one episode of Friends a day at least... I'll be a little more chill and happy overall... so I'll have 10 of these... and I might do them again in a year or so... we'll see.

Anyway Season 1 is a pretty solid season for the first season of something. There were some dud episodes that I haven't watched as many times as something like "The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath" ... which is my second favorite episode... but it's in my favorite season... so I've watched it quite a bit. It's a good episode!

Anyway I think my favorite episodes are towards the end of the season... which I never really noticed before... but I really love The One With The Poker... this is kind of a classic episode that I think is underrated because it's so early! The One Where The Monkey Gets Away, The One With The Evil Orthodontist, The One With The Fake Monica and The One Where Rachel Finds Out are all really funny and just good episodes overall.

I also love The One With The Blackout, The One With The Boobies, The One With George Stephanopolis, The One With The Butt, The One Where Underdog Gets Away and The One With The Monkey. These are all pretty great and again... I feel like a lot of these are underrated because they're just so early!

I feel like I maybe relate to this season a little bit better than I have in the past because I'm about the same age as they are here now... which is weird. I've never watched Friends and been about the same age as them... so that's pretty new. I identify a lot with Rachel right now... because it just seems like everyone else sort of has everything together and Rachel doesn't really have a plan anymore... it's just very relatable to me right now lol.

So yeah... the episodes might not be the most memorable ever... but they are all really great and definitely underrated. I think as a whole I do kind of like Season 1 more than Seasons 2 and 3... Season 2 and 3 episodes seem to be what I always see whenever I turn on reruns on tv... and they have some kind of meh episodes... and the show just got a lot better when Monica and Chandler got together... it just makes more sense that way.

That is everything! Hope you guys liked this! I'm already on Disk 2 of Season 2... so that will be coming soon also!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
