-The Scoop on The Wedding Bells: A family-owned wedding planning business dedicated to helping its clients live happily ever after is the focus of this romantic dramedy from Boston Legal creator David E. Kelley. Teri Polo, Sarah Jones and KaDee Strictland star.
I will be watching American Idol (Go Melinda and LeKisha), Wedding Bells (which looks SO funny), Medium, Crossing Jordan and Criminal Minds. Also Top Design on Bravo.
As always, I will be watching Medium. And I don't usually watch Crossing Jordan, but I might give it a try since it's on right before Medium. Not much else in that slot that interests me, so why not?
Yes, the kid from "The Christmas Story" is still in it.
Here is what you need to do with Top Design. I (thankfully) figured this out about 2 episodes ago and that is why I am still watching.
I used to love Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, but found the actual construction footage boring because it is, uh, construction. Nothing like literally watching paint dry. So, I would DVR Extreme Makeover, watch the family introduction and then watch the house "reveal" at the end. I skipped all of the construction part, the screaming with the bull horn, and the made up "will we get done in time" drama and the show was still watchable. I don't DVR it any more, but I find the same to be true with Top Design.
I DVR it. Then I watch the beginning and find out what the assignment is. If they are in groups I watch the initial interaction and the shopping. I usually skip the construction part and the bickering part; I stop and watch if it looks especially dramatic.
Then I watch the judges look at each design and all of the judges table. The episode flies by because I skipped most of the middle and it is still very enjoyable.
I know this does not speak well about the quality of the show as a whole, but watching construction and painting is not the most exciting TV. So, I skip that boring middle part. Does anyone else do this?

Actually no - I really enjoy the whole thing. I know in theory I should be bored, but somehow, the interactions are interesting. I really wish Ryan would get over himself. His designs are hideous. Just being different for the sake of being different does not make a good designer.
Besides Top Design.....
I be watching: George Lopez Wedding Bells (although reviews reflect this show will not make it past 3 eps - especially since it's on fox) Medium Lost
