Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23


Hey everyone!

This is Allie and I'm so excited we started this blog! My first entry is going to be about a sitcom I have only seen one episode of. But since I don't have cable or satellite and mainly watch TV on Netflix I like to try different shows that have already been cancelled. Which led me to Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23. The one episode I watched was a Dawson's Creek one with Busy Phillips because it aired soon after I found a love of Dawson's. And truly I am only watching to see if James Van Der Beek can ever not be the annoying Dawson Leery we all love to hate.

Don't Trust The B in Apartment 23
Season 1
 Episode 1: Pilot


Well we start out with two characters having sex around the apartment when a roommate walks in. "My roommate slept with my fiancé on my birthday cake and it was the best thing that ever happened to me"
Interesting?

Now we are following the blonde girl but I didn't even know she was in this show. So obviously I didn't know anything about it. Her company has went under and now she cant get into her building. So this may be the worst day of June's (that's her name!) life.

These Skype chats with her parents are weird.

"This bad luck cant last forever" Those are famous last words.

Cue the interviewing roommates montage. The B---- in the show does seem normal in the roommate interview. Chloe called him "Beek from the Creek" and they used to date but now is like her gay best friend just not gay.



Girl from down the hall who says "don't trust the bitch in apartment 23 looks familiar. Can't place her though. Neighbor guy is creepy. Chloe is walking around naked and its all blurred out. Probably way more blurring than they need. Is neighbor guy going to stand behind that window all the time like he's the neighbor on Home Improvement.



She calls James Van Der Beek and "I Don't Wanna To Wait" comes on as a girl walks down the stairs. That was perfect.

Little blonde chick stood up to Chloe by selling all her stuff after Chloe stole from her. Nice move June. And June just tried to sing "I Don't Wanna wait" to James. This is going be the running joke and I bet it really does happen in his life.


June give a nice speech complete with background music to get back Chloe's ottoman. She only wanted the ottoman back because it had drugs in it. Then Indiana boyfriend, who is not cute,  shows up and Chloe asks who wants to get weird and play Mario Kart. Chloe gets the kid who comes with him (as a patient for him to monitor?) drunk and he tells her Indiana boy is cheating on June. Chloe tries to tell June the truth but June does not believe her (rightfully so). And this brings us full circle to the birthday cake sex scene. Nurse girl gets mad when she also walks in on him cheating.



Now we have a nice bonding moment in a bar and everyone is friends. The best part may be the commercial James Van Der Beek did at the end.

To sum it up, this has been a mildly amusing show I can keep watching it but I don't see it becoming a favorite. Since I am a Dawson's Creek fan all the jokes about it pretty funny. Hopefully, the show will keep us from making the famous Dawson face.



Did anyone watch this while it was on air? Did you love it or hate it? Is anyone sad its gone? Can James Van Der Beek ever not be Dawson?

Supernatural: Season 1 Episode 1


Every time I log onto Netflix, Supernatural is there staring me in the face in my top picks. I have heard a lot of good things about this show but I just never got around to actually watching it. Jared Padalecki is one of the main characters. While his dashing good looks draw most woman in, I can't look past the fact that he was Dean on Gilmore Girls. His character Dean was the perfect boyfriend but he lacked that bad ass attitude I tend to always fall in love with. When Jess came along, Dean definitely had to go and my hatred for him grew.  Hopefully, while watching Supernatural, I can look past that face and not see him for being the guy in Gilmore Girls. Plus, that other main character on this show does have the right looks to draw me in. So here we go....



Supernatural

Season 1: episode 1
Pilot


Starting off with a sweet little Walton's moment where everyone is telling each other goodnight. So sweet. It wouldn't be complete without the dramatic sweet music playing in the background.





#jeffreydeanmorgan yay! Loved him in greys anatomy. He really did a good job playing Denny. I've seen him in something else and liked him. I can't remember what it is though.






Okay this part made me make a gasping noise. Ha. Mother saw the baby and dad and walking down she realized it wasn't him. When the dad heard the scream he looks up and she's on the ceiling. My thoughts are she's just on the ceiling, not much of a reaction. Then she gets engulfed with flames! Whattttt?! The dad's reaction is to give the baby over to the other kid and try to save her? Hell no, bitch is a goner. Get the kids and get out of there.



22 years into present day, we get I meet Sam (Jared) and he's in college. Was that the baby? Or other kid? Not sure yet.



One thing about this show that's annoying me is the music. I feel like I'm watching a horror film where you know something is about to happen. I get that you are building up the scene for something to happen but do you need to overpower it with music that blows me away? I'll have to get used to that. It annoyed me at first when I was watching The Vampire Diaries too.



In comes Dean with in a combat way and takes down Sam. He's pretty cute and seems to be the bad boy(score!). He's got that chiseled jaw line going and I'm loving it. Dean just said he's 26 so he's the older brother. This is really going to confuse me with the other guy being named Dean. Maybe this will help me not picture Jared as Dean from GG or hearing that name and seeing Jared will be bad. Who knows.



Off they go onto a trip to find their dad who is away hunting some demon thing. They are bringing along several weapons with them including a sweet u shaped knife that Sam pulled out of his apartment.



Well we find out that they are chasing some girl who killed herself and she's hitch hiking and killing the victims that pick her up. During this time we have a heart to heart with Sam who is wanting to shed the lifestyle of his family and live a normal life. He didn't know his mom so he really doesn't get the big deal of hunting supernatural things. I get that. Even though it seems awesome to do, he wants to live a quiet simple life and not hunt things. I get it but it's boring. Listen to the hot brother Sam! (Which we all know he will)



From this first episode I can already tell that I love Dean. He's a smart ass and has smug looks all the time. Plus, he just got arrested and broke out of the handcuffs using a paper clip. Swoon. He's the bad ass boy that I know I'm going to fall for. Yes! There's always one in every show that I love but I didn't think that I would find him so soon.



They found a way to fight that lady by driving the car through the house and making her face her fears. After fighting off the lady in white, they were going to meet their dad but Sam needed to get home for his interview. Sam then sees his dead mother in flames on the ceiling and Dean saves him. How sweet. This immediately seals the deal that Sam is going hunting with Dean. So is the girlfriend dead?



Initial thought of the show is I think it's going to be good. I feel like it has a Charmed, The Vampire Diaries and horror films mash up to it. Hopefully, I decide that I love this show. So many people have said good things about it and the twitter fan base is large.
Anyway follow for more updates on me going through the show.

Hello  TV Addicts!


We would like to start off by introducing ourselves. We are two girls who enter various different realities and obsess over characters that we fall for and hope to be like. We have "traveled" to towns such as Stars Hollow, sailed across the ocean in a boat named Summer, been on archaeological adventures studying skeletons, and plunged deep inside the anatomy to save the lives of people who have helped shaped us into the people we are today. Through this blog, we would like to take you through our crazy thoughts on various television shows that we have watched previously and shows that we are just watching for the first time. Included on this list are shows such as Supernatural, Scandal, Once Upon a Time, How I Met Your Mother, and Grey's Anatomy to name a few.

We hope that you have as much fun on our journey and engage with us through it all.

Welcome to the minds of Morgan and Allie.
