Brothers and Sisters, ABC TV series, Sundays

Honestly, I’m a little skeeved out by the Justin and Rebecca union. The genesis of their romantic relationship went a little something like this:

Justin: You’re not my sister?

Rebecca: Nope. I just got the DNA results.

Justin: Wanna make out?

Rebecca: Totally.

In this episode the skeeve factor rocketed as Justin and his ex-sister did the deed. Ick. I also find it annoying that Rebecca refuses to use her $2 mil trust fund that Holly participated in adultery for. And, didn’t she want to be a photographer? It seems like all she does is obsess over the Walkers and her conniving mother. Get a hobby, homegirl.

 Holly’s stilted speech pattern drives me nuts. She’s like a female Shatner, except she’s not in on the joke.

 Scotty’s uber-conservative parents come to town and wreak havoc on Kevin’s nerves. Bertha is quite the harpy, complaining about everything. It was interesting to see Scotty be the one to request a step back in the closet, seeing as he’s normally insistent upon being out and proud. I find Kevin and Scotty to be too adorable for words. Scotty’s Canadian accent is totally endearing (even though he’s supposed to be from Iowa or something).

Kevin working for Robert should stir things up. Maybe Kitty will be relevant in the show again.

 ”I hate humility. It disgusts me.”

Grey’s Anatomy, ABC television series, Thursdays

Grey’s Anatomy has needed a few things lately which this episode delivered:

-More lightness, even in tragedy. Humor. (5 second rule with kidney!)

-No one trying to commit suicide for no apparent reason, no unrecognizable amnesiacs, no dying young people.

-The return of Bailey the Nazi.

-Brutally honest, no remorse Christina.

AND…McSteamy giving lessons on oral? Is there a sign-up sheet?

Love the glow-in-the-dark kidney gift. By the way, why was Meredith walking around with a slippery kidney? Shouldn’t the table with the kidney on it be closer to the patient? It did allow for a funny moment but I wouldn’t suggest Seattle Grace if you’re in need of any organs.

Now, if only McDreamy could be less douche-y. I am looking forward to Christina getting romantic with Army doc. We’ve never seen her with a dude who’s as tough as she is.
