Buzz In: What Are Your Entertainment Hopes For the New Year?

Top Stories Today

Sun, 01/04/2009 - 1:30pm by BuzzSugar

With the new year comes a whole new set of hopes, dreams, and goals to fulfill, and while I'm making my own resolutions, I'm also thinking about what I want my entertainment to be like in 2009. I've been sharing some thoughts about what I'm looking forward to in the coming year, but for now, I'm wondering: What are your big entertainment hopes for 2009?

I'll start: I hope there's no actors' strike, I hope Privileged gets renewed, I hope the film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are actually hits theaters, and I hope that Damages, Mad Men, and Lost stay strong in their upcoming new seasons.

Your turn! What are your hopes for entertainment in '09?

I hope I don't hate "The Lovely Bones" because of Mark Whalberg.
I hope Speidi DIAF or just go away.
I hope the end of BSG is amazing and I cry like a little baby.
I hope Barney and Robin get together!

I probably have more but I can't think of them.

I also hope that there is no actor's strike. I hope "New Moon" survives all the director drama and sticks to the novel storyline, and comes out ASAP. And I REALLY hope Heidi and Spencer do not get as much air time as they did in 08 (this includes on PopSugar).

I hope Friday Night Lights has a successful season on network tv, that Mad Men continues to be awesome, that this season of Big Love is great, that Damages does well and that Two and A Half Men goes away sooner than later.

"and that Two and A Half Men goes away sooner than later."

ahahahaha me too. I had the misfortune of catching it a few times and it's awful. Actually all "sit-coms" are awful except HIMYM.

I'm with you Buzzsugar where the actors' strike is concerned.

I hope Lost stays strong and starts delivering answers to the serious issues (we are really running out of time).
I also hope that Desperate Housewives finds its way back to top form (I can still dream, right?) Smiling

All in all, I hope there are interesting TV shows and movies and a little sth for every taste.

I am so excited for LOST to return at the end of the month, but I hope that it manages to survive all the hype.
I also really wish that awards shows would have a revival and make an impact like they did a few years' back.

I hope Shopaholic is as amazing as Sex and the City movie was, and ditto for Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing (one of my very favorite books, which I believe is coming out as a movie this year.) I am also still holding out hope for a Veronica Mars movie. Please Rob Thomas! Pleaaasssee!

I wish for Grey's Anatomy to get better, I hope the new director of the Twilight series does New Moon the justice it deserves, and I hope Booth and Bones kiss and realize they are meant for each other.

1. I wish you never put the idea of an actors' strike in my head, Buzz (how annoying would that be... like writer's strike... BUT WORSE!)
2. House grows a pair and does something about his Cuddy situation
3. Australia renews fast tracking American TV (so annoying, they are still showing seaso 3 of House and Season 1 of Bones etc.)
4. A movie adaptation of Uglies, Pretties and Specials finally goes into production
5. Aaron from Gossip Girl dies
6. A JAM WEDDING!!!!!!!
7. Jason Segal starring in another Judd Aptow movie

Not too much to ask... right?

I hope that TV stops being ridiculous. I can honestly say I don't watch any new TV sitcoms or dramas because most of them are (in my opinion) not worth my time.

I hope Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince comes out on time in July!

I hope that Jason Statham comes to my door and tells me how much he loves me and that he can't live without me...how's that for a dream???

I hope there ends up being no need for another strike.
Pushing Daisies sticking around somehow would be nice. If not I want a movie.
Arrested Development: The Movie
having great albums to buy. I'm already waiting for a new Bat For Lashes and hoping for a new Fiery Furnaces and maybe to discover some new favorite artists who aren't hyped up the second I hear of them.

I wish that...

- there will be no actors' strike
- Pushing Daisies will somehow be renewed (or at least made into a movie)
- Better TV shows will come on TV
- Lost will be as good, if not better, than last season or season 1
- Harry Potter will turn out well
- Angelina Jolie or Kate Winslet wins an Oscar
