Final thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy and Gossip Girl Finales

It’s an addiction. Not a very major one – just one that stirs me up on Saturday mornings and keeps me awakes past midnight on weekday nights.

TV.

I’m an American TV junkie. It started with Hanna & Barbera cartoons, then came Beverly Hills 90210, before I discovered sitcoms like Seinfeld, Friends, Ellen. I moaned the demise of shows that enjoyed a limited run in Singapore that none of my friends heard of – Popular, Grosse Pointe. Huh?! My point exactly. And Buffy was the centre of my life for a good while. Its theme song was the only ring tone which I dutifully learnt to compose myself from a score on the Web when handphones tunes weren’t downloadable in those days.

 Now that I’m older, my taste has remained firmly teeny-booper-ish (Hello Seth Cohen and Rachel Berry!) although I’m happy to say I also enjoy Dexter and 30 Rock.

Two of my current favourites have aired their finales last week and I just finished watching them yesterday. Gossip Girl and Grey’s Anatomy were disappointing and uneven this season. Especially Grey’s which has been spluttering along so painfully since season 3.

 Still, I watch. I persist. I hope. I read Internet spoilers and comments like they’re my crack.

While I don’t want to give the plots away cos there’s one friend who will yell at me for doing so, all I can say is, well, it’s enough keep going back. (Anyway if you want to discuss this, lemme know!!  How OMG was it! Oops.)

TV. What will I be without you?

Probably a hell lot more productive and successful.
