Happy Birthday to Me!
Image: The Birthday Cake I Want!... Who wants a piece?
OMG! I can't believe it! I am a week late starting this marathon! I really gotten into my That '70s Show marathon Britt and I were doing... and this one completely slipped my mind! Losing an entire week is going to hurt on this... but I am still going to attempt the same goal. That is 31 Birthday TV Episodes (1 for every day of the month) and 12 Birthday themed movies (2 for every Saturday and every Sunday of the month) before the end of the month. I really hope I can do it! Wish me luck! | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  2 Broke GirlsSeason 1 Episode 18: And the One Night StandIt's Caroline's birthday but one-night stands are getting in the way of a proper celebration. My Thoughts:This is a series I grown to really like over the last couple seasons it has been on. And this is a fun episode. In it Caroline has a pretty rough birthday. Has a few decent chuckles. Definitely worth watching. My Rating: 4/5 Episode Count: 1 Movie Count: 0 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  The Big Bang TheorySeason 1 Episode 16: The Peanut ReactionLeonard's birthday finds Wolowitz and Leonard in the ER and Penny and Sheldon sharing a shopping trip from hell. My Thoughts:One of my favorites of the current sitcoms. This show is always good for a laugh... and this episode is no exception! The Penny and Sheldon scenes are always fun. In this one she takes him shopping for a gift for Leonard. Highly recommend this episode! My Rating: 4.5/5 Episode Count: 2 Movie Count: 0 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Tru CallingSeason 2 Episode 3: In the DarkWhen the lights go out during a surprise birthday party in the morgue, Tru hears someone asking for help-but due to the darkness, she has no idea who needs to be saved. My Thoughts:This is one of my all-time favorite short lived TV Series. I really enjoyed this episode a lot. The fact that she didn't know who it was that called her name really added something to the episode. Gave it a bit extra mystery. My Rating: 5/5 Episode Count: 3 Movie Count: 0 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Sex and the CitySeason 1 Episode 1: Sex and the CityAt a party for thirty-something Miranda, Carrie and her friends vow to stop worrying about finding the perfect male and start having sex like men. Carrie experiments with an old flame and meets Mr. Big; Miranda warms up to Skipper; Samantha has a one night stand with a man Charlotte wouldn't sleep with on the first date. My Thoughts:This is an HBO series that I always enjoyed. I wouldn't call it a favorite series... but definitely one I could always get into without a problem. I have seen all of the first 2... maybe 3 seasons. But that is all so far. But thanks to an early birthday gift I got this past month I will finally get to see all the episodes (as well as both movies). I like both Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis in this series. I do think the pilot episode is a bit of a rough start for the series though.... It just jumps into it all without giving a good introduction to the characters.

| | Posted: | | | |  No Ordinary FamilySeason 1 Episode 7: No Ordinary MobsterJim goes after a mobster who has plagued George for years, ignoring his friend's request to stay out of the case. Meanwhile, Stephanie disobeys Dr. King's wishes and tries to find out more about Volson's research, and Daphne asks JJ to use his powers to help her impress a boy. My Thoughts:Another short lived series I enjoyed every minute of. So wish they never canceled this one! In this episode the family throws a "surprise party" for their friend George. I really got a kick out of how excited Julie Benz's character got setting up the surprise party... and how giddy she was seeing the surprise on George's face... a fake surprise as he did know earlier. But was really fun scenes. And the rest of the episode is very good as well. Enjoyed every minute of it. My Rating: 4/5 Episode Count: 5 Movie Count: 0 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Grey's AnatomySeason 5 Episode 11: Wish You Were HereBailey teams with Seattle Grace's new pediatric surgeon, Dr. Arizona Robbins, to save the life of a young patient near and dear to her heart, as the admittance of a death row inmate at the hospital stirs anger in Derek and further erodes Meredith and Cristina's friendship. My Thoughts:A very good episode of the series... I enjoyed it quite a bit. Though the birthday storyline was very minor. Just a mention or two in passing and then a scene. But still worth watching.

| | Posted: | | | |  MonkSeason 8 Episode 9: Happy Birthday, Mr. MonkWhile Natalie attempts to surprise Monk with the ultimate 50th birthday party, a janitor and a patent lawyer are killed during the launch of the first vacuum with a self-cleaning filter. My Thoughts:This is a very fun episode. I really got a kick out of Monk panicking and seeing signs of a birthday party everywhere he looked while trying to solve a murder case. Definitely an episode I would recommend. My Rating: 4/5 Goal: 44 Watched: 7 Left: 37 | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

| | Posted: | | | |  Sixteen CandlesSamantha's life is going downhill fast. The fifteen-year-old has a crush on the most popular boy in school, and the geekiest boy in school has a crush on her. Her sister's getting married, and with all the excitement the rest of her family forgets her birthday! Add all this to a pair of horrendously embarrassing grandparents, a foreign exchange student named Long Duc Dong, and we have the makings of a hilarious journey into young womanhood. My Thoughts:I found this available on On-Demand and felt I must watch it for the marathon. Surprisingly this is the first time I ever seen this film. Being a film from the '80s... a time when I watched films like crazy. I found I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It definitely has a lot of fun scenes in it. I think I will have to try to add this one to my collection! My Rating: 4/5 Goal: 44 Watched: 8 Left: 36 | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

| | Posted: | | | |  Grey's AnatomySeason 6 Episode 8: Invest in LoveA generous $25 million donation is offered to Seattle Grace by the parents of a 10-year-old cancer patient. This prompts the Chief to pressure Arizona into performing a risky operation on the child. My Thoughts:In this one it is Arizona's birthday... as well as her young patient. It is an excellent episode.. though a very sad one. My Rating: 4.5/5 Goal: 44 Watched: 9 Left: 35 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Two and a Half MenSeason 3 Episode 16: Ergo, The Booty CallAs Jake's twelfth birthday approaches, Alan is still smiling ear-to-ear over his sex life with 22 year-old hottie Kandi, even when he's forced to explain to his son what a "booty call" is. Meanwhile, Jake celebrates with a sip of coffee and a handful of vitamins - or at least, that's what he assumes the blue pills in his dad's bathroom cabinet are, with the "V" imprinted. My Thoughts:This is a TV Show I just recently discovered... after a long time of my brother telling me I should watch it. When I saw the discs over at the library I figured I may as well check out the series. And I am really glad I did. This is a hilarious show... one I hope to start collecting before too long!
