Damnit Jack, these are my final finale thoughts

Save These Shows!

Is "Parks and Recreation," the new comedy premiering Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on NBC, a lot like "The Office?" Yes it is. It's filmed in a mockumentary style with all the characters addressing the camera. The pace, the cutaways, the lingering shots and the mugging all seems fairly familiar.

So what did you guys think?

So much TV, so not enough room on my TiVo. Let's get right to what's happening this week.

Okay before we get to today's column, I would like to pause for a moment to have a brief tête-à-tête with the producers of American Idol.

ABC is making big news this week because of The Bachelor brouhaha.

I've never been a fan of the show (couldn't even make it through the first season) so although I find it fascinating that a man can go from most desirable dad in America to deceptive, despicable cad overnight, I can't muster up that much interest in the story.

Many of you are worried about Ugly Betty.

The dramedy will get booted off the air on March 26 to make room for Samantha Who? and the new comedy In the Motherhood. (Let me pause for a moment to announce how annoying it is that a show I like gets booted for another show I like. Why couldn't they take Wife Swap off the air to make room for Samantha Who? Booo I say. Boooooo.)

Am I crazy or is The Secret Life of the American Teenager becoming a smidge more realistic?

Sing it with me now. "You all everybody. You all everybody."

While watching tonight's episode of Chuck, I broke into Drive Shaft's little ditty.
