Katherine Heigle (Izzie) Back on Grey’s Anatomy and T.R. Knight (George) Gone
Written by: JohnFans of Grey’s Anatomy (like myself) have been holding our collective breather after Izzie sees George in kind of an angel/death type sequence. They love those cliff hangers. There had been rumors about Katherine Heigle and T.R. Knight not coming back to Grey’s Anatomy next season, but now it seems that Izzie will be back on Grey’s Anatomy season 6, but T.R Knight will be packing his bags.
I think this is a good thing since Izzie has a lot of really interesting storylines and George’s story line had basically flat lined.
The real question is whether Izzie will some how miraculously recover or whether she’ll return as a ghost. I’m thinking after Denny’s ghost visits it must be the first.
The above link also reports that Jessica Capshaw (Dr. Arizona Robbins) has become a show regular.

The Superstars on ABC
Written by: JohnLooks like ABC has another star reality TV show going on this summer and set to premiere Tuesday, June 23 8/7c. Turns out this is a revival of Obama’s favorite TV show. In The Superstars, Eight celebrities are paired with eight professional male and female athletes to compete against each other in varying sporting events. Each week a team will be eliminated until one team is ultimately crowned the winner. Check out the list of celebrities and athletes:
Football star Terrell Owens has been paired with model Joanna Krupa; baseball’s Jeff Kent is paired up with actress and model Ali Landry ; basketballer Robert Horry has been paired up with actress/model and former synchronized swimmer, Estella Warren: Alpine ski racer Bode Miller has been paired with “Extreme Home Makeover’s” Paige Hemmis; freestyle skier Kristi Leskinen will compete with “Dancing With the Stars” professional dancer, Maksim Chmerkovskiy ; basketball star Lisa Leslie will compete with actor Dan Cortese; tennis star Jennifer Capriati and former “Baywatch” star David Charvet will compete together; and soccer star Brandi Chastain has been paired with singer, Julio Iglesias, Jr.
Turns out someone in the Bahamas caught a short video of the start of the bike race they did on The Superstars. Check it out:
I don’t quite get what’s going on since one person on the team is riding the bike and the other is running. I think I’m actually going to really enjoy this show.

Will Izzie (Katherine Heigl) Die On Tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy
Written by: JohnI asked those who are following the Pure TV Network on Twitter “Will Izzie die tonight on Grey’s Anatomy?”
I got a bunch of responses to whether Izzie will die on tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy finale. Check out people’s opinions on Katherine Heigl’s possible death:

My answer to “Is it wrong to *hope* so?” was “Since it’s TV, no. If it weren’t TV, then yes. So, hope away.”
After my responses, I also got these 2 interesting replies about Izzie’s death on Grey’s Anatomy and my opinion:

I can’t wait to enjoy 2 hours of pure Grey’s with my wife. What better birthday gift could I give her?

Jillian Harris the Next Bachelorette
Written by: JohnJason and Molly are riding off into The Bachelor sunset. We’ll hear about them one more time when they break up in a few months. However, for those who love the Bachelor series, they announced that Jillian Harris will be on the next season of The Bachelorette.
The Bachelorette will premiere on May 18th. Pretty quick turnaround for the show, but The Bachelor is right up there with reality TV shows like Survivor and Amazing Race. It’s been going on for a long time and doesn’t show much sign of slowing.
I think Jillian Harris will be pretty interesting, but I’m not sure I’m going to watch it. We’ll have to see what other shows are on at the same time.
Either way, please let me know if you know of any Bachelorette spoilers from season 5 of the Bachelorette.

The Visitor – Music and Richard Jenkins’ Oscar Nomination
Written by: JohnThe Oscars are upon us. I must admit that I’m not a very big fan of all these awards shows. There are far too many and now they are just all mixed together. I never really remember which one is which. However, they have become amazing TV productions that are fun to watch. I especially enjoy flipping to these shows during commercials for other shows, but I digress.
I recently was sent an email talking about the Oscar nomination for actor in a leading role of Richard Jenkins. Richard Jenkins really was fantastic in The Visitor and I’m glad to see he was nominated for an Oscar. I’m not sure he’s going to win, but the show was fantastic and Richard Jenkins did a wonderful job portraying the character.
Of course, the best part of The Visitor was actually the music. Check out the music from The Visitor and you’ll see what I mean:

Jason Mesnick’s Take on Home Town Dates
Written by: JohnI found a really interesting blog post by Jason Mesnick on People’s TV Watch. In it he talks about the various home town dates. Of course the best parts is when he talks about the things that happened that they didn’t put on camera. Here’s excerpts of those things:
Talking about Jason’s visit to Canada with Jill he said:
Her grandma was hilarious. She came in and put a pair of Canadian flag boxers on my head. We all got a great laugh out of it. But what you didn’t see on the show is that they actually got me to put the boxers on as well.
Talking about the hat box at Molly’s house Jason said:
I wish that you guys had gotten to see more of the hat box at Molly’s house. There were literally 50 to 60 hats in there, and by digging in, I really had to opportunity to be part of a welcoming family tradition.
Jason told about a horse ride with Naomi:
Unfortunately, you didn’t get to see the very “memorable” horseback ride that we took together. My horse got a little spooked and started spinning in circles. I really thought it was trying to buck me off. Luckily, I slipped of the back of the horse and it took off. I know it’s not the thing to do if you are trying to impress a girl, but I don’t have much experience with horses!
Jason said the following about not being able to meet Melissa’s family in Dallas:
Of course I was disappointed that Melissa’s parents were not comfortable meeting me under these circumstances, but I do respect their wishes. I know that there was a part of Melissa that I wasn’t able to see. But I also know that her parents didn’t ask to be a part of this journey and they made the decision that was best for them.
Of course, I don’t think anyone was surprised that Naomi was sent home. They just weren’t clicking. Sadly I think Jason will end up with Jillian. Nothing against her, but I’d much prefer him being with Melissa or Molly.

Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight May Be Leaving Grey’s Anatomy
Written by: JohnCan you imagine Grey’s Anatomy without Izzie and George? Well, Yahoo TV is suggesting that this could be a strong possibility. From reading the various sources/rumors it sounds like it’s not completely decided, but the option of Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight leaving is being discussed.
Honestly, I’m not sure anyone would miss T.R. Knight. Think back to the last major thing you can remember “George” doing on the show. He’s basically “The Chief’s” little run around boy with no story lines going on. That basically means that there’s no reason for him to stay. It’s too bad, because I loved his character when he was getting married and even when little Grey was interested in him. Too bad the show ruined little Grey for me, but that’s a topic for another post.
On the other hand, Katherine Heigl would be a character I’d definitely miss. I’m glad her dead boyfriend is gone, because that was just weird. However, Izzie has been a great character and still could do a lot of interesting things on the show.
Either way, Katherine Heigl has a ton of options. T.R. Knight probably does also, but Katherine is going to be a superstar if she wants to be. It will be interesting to see what happens with their characters.
I’m really looking forward to the Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice crossover on Thursday. Addison should really not kiss McDreamy. How wrong is that!?!!?!!

Lauren’s Best Song – Bachelor
Written by: JohnLauren definitely had the best song on the Bachelor tonight and it’s such a mistake that Jason chose Molly over Lauren. Ok, I get that Jason probably doesn’t like Lauren as much as Molly, but it would have been fair to take Lauren with him, because her song was 100 times better than all of the other girls songs.
Of course, it would have very likely meant that it was the end of the show for Lauren. I’m not sure that Jason would have given Lauren the rose on the individual date. I could be wrong, but I could see that Jason wasn’t feeling it at all for Lauren.
Since Jason just did away with Lauren, my new favorite is Melissa. I think she’s going to make it to the end of the show and win it all.
Also, it was really time for Nikki, Shannon and the Lacrosse Coach (I can’t remember her name and don’t really care to remember) to go home.
Oh man, I just saw Lauren singing during the outtake of Bachelor and I like her even more. I’m sad that I won’t get to see another week of Lauren on the Bachelor.
