Miss/Guided premiered on it's normal night last night. The show is about Becky Freely (played by Judy Greer), a high school guidance counselor at the same school she attended as a youth. She's optimstic, bright, funny and sometimes slightly annoying due to all those perky characteristics. But the good outweighs the bad. Becky is in love with the schools spanish teacher, Tim O'Malley (played by Kristoffer Polaha). Tim is sweet, but not always that smart. He means well, eventhough he barely speaks spanish as he was the school auto shop teacher, but the principal was deperate and hired him. Becky's high school nemesis, (in her mind at least) is Lisa Germaine (played by Brooke Burns). Lisa is beautiful, but annoying. Lisa was the cheerleader and Becky was the uber-nerd. The dry, sarcastic Principal Huffy is great in the scenes he pops up in and the Vice Principal Terry (played by Chris Parnell) is hilarious. If you haven't watched you should.

Last nights episodes were funny. Ashton Kutcher guested in the first half hour called "The Sub", he played a substitute spanish teacher the school falls for including Becky. Beaux (that's with an X) develops a crush on Becky and the attention distracts Becky from helping Tim keep his job, which is threatened by the charismatic Beaux. In the end, Beaux is let go for not having a college degree and Tim keeps his job.
Second on the List, the school's very own Perez Hilton going by the name Lindsay Lopez, has a gossip "blarg" (as Becky calls it) about students and staff in the school. Including the most do-able teacher list. Lisa is of course #1, while poor Becky is #18 and actually falls to #40 at one point below a teacher from the school who is now deceased. Becky goes to Forever 21 and shops till she drops in an attempt to raise her standing, but only falls further. In the end she manages number 1 status by showing her "britney" to the world during a charity carwash at the school.
Miss/Guided is fun, light and hilarious. Maybe not the best match for Lost. I think this would make a fantastic pairing with Samatha Who?
Reaper aired 3/20/08
Last night Sam, Sock and Ben try to send an invisible soul back to Hell and Sam debates whether or not to end his relationship with Katie. He thinks Katie is the Devil's daughter, the Devil denies it of course! In the previous episode Sock was kicked out by his mom and forced to find a place on his own. When squatting in the Work Bench doesn't quite work out he forges Sam and Ben's signatures on a lease and the boys move in together. The find living on their own fun and even replaced their mom's with the Domestic Gods next door. Although as Sam finds at the end, Gods isn't accurate when he sees them sanding down their Demon horns.
What else happened:
- Sam does manage to catch the invisible soul who made the Unabomber look like a social butterfly, according to the Devil.
- Katie senses Sam pushing her away and decides to take a break.
- The boys play Wii on 3 giant flat screens.
- I wonder how well they get paid at the work bench!
This weekend:
Lost, Eli Stone, Smallville, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory and one more chance to The Return of Jezebel James. Plus Emma is on Masterpiece Classics and somewhere in there I get some sleep!
