Top Five of the Week: 2/14 - 2/20/11

1. Greek
I really love this show and I'm not ready for it to end in a few weeks.  I really enjoyed this week's episode when the whole gang snuck into Dobbler's and hung out.  It was nice to see the whole group together.  It seems like that doesn't happen too much.  The writers are doing a great job with this season.  They are starting new story lines but you get a sense that everything will be tied up when the show is over... *sigh* DON'T END GREEK!

2. The Office - Threat Level Midnight
This week The Office provided an episode that reminded me why I used to REALLY love the show and why I keep with it.  The detail and throwbacks always make you feel like you are a part of the group.  This week Michael Scott premiered his movie "Threat Level Midnight".  Any true Office fan remembers the episode, in season 2, when the entire Scranton office met in the conference room and read through the script.  That fan would also remember the romantic moment when Jim and Pam shared a grilled cheese on the roof... back when they weren't together.

It was fun to see Threat Level Midnight.  I loved that they brought back old characters.

3. Adele's new album 21
I love Adele.  I happened to pick up her first album, 19, after seeing it recommended online.  Talk about a great album!  Her new album is being release next week, but NPR has it available for streaming on their website.  I finally got around to listening to it this week.  I love it.  I have been listening to the first single, Rolling in the Deep, for awhile now.  The last song on the album, Someone Like You, is so powerful.  I can't wait to get the album so I can really listen to it over and over.

4. Nerdist podcast
I'm still getting into podcasts (meaning finding more to listen to).  The first one I tried was the Nerdist with Chris Hardwick, Jonah Ray, and Matt Mira.  I really enjoy their conversational manner.  They posted their first episode a year ago the same time I started looking for one to listen too... I think it was meant to be.
This week the guest podcast had Colin Hanks.  I was listening to it at the gym trying not to laugh out loud too much.  I think the people on the machines around me thought I was crazy.

5. Words with Friends
I'm not big into playing games on my phone, but Words with Friends is different.  I guess it makes me feel a little more connected to people, especially when you're both playing at the same time and the answers come quickly.  I'm glad the android version was released this week.  I'm not great at it, but games are meant to be fun.
