I have a love/hate relationship with television shows. I am either a devoted fan, obsessed with watching every episode on time or with the DVR, or I ignore the entire series. I cannot just jump mid-season into a television show due to hype. The last show I did this with was Lost and boy, was I lost. However, the creative team of writers from Lost are behind this fall's newest hit Once Upon a Time. I am a huge fan of Ginnifer Goodwin, my favorite sister wife from HBO's Big Love. I was so happy to see her continue on television despite her transition to comedies on the big screen.

Being a girl who still lives in a fairy-tale inspired world, I was so eager for this show to debut that I was scared that my high hopes would be crushed with a new series that could be canceled early (I am still upset about NBC's The Playboy Club being canceled. I thought it was great). However, by the end of the first hour, I was so sad to see it end. I ended my viewing of the show slightly confused, surprised at how great it truly was, and hopeful for a full series from ABC.

The following review was written by davidwolfson, who posted it on the blog Scene B Seen.

I'm going to come out of the gate with a bold statement, which is that Fleet Foxes' sophomore effort is even better than their debut. Every year we have multiple bands that blow people away with their debut albums; this year so far it's Yuck and The Vaccines, but most of them flop on their followup. Making their first album is a relatively simple process for most bands — they just go in and record the best songs they have, which they've usually been playing for a long amount of time already. There isn't much expected from them; the job of the debut album is simply to give listeners an idea of what the band is like. Most bands make it their definitive statement.

But the sophomore effort is a completely different animal. The songs have to be written and executed under pressure and usually within a short period of time, or else the band is either written off as old news or, in Fleet Foxes' case, the hype builds and builds. This is where most bands crack, and to me when a band succeeds at this point, it is a sign that they will be in it for the long run. Fleet Foxes have definitely succeeded.

They chose to take their time and let the hype build and expectations rise, but they matched them: that almost never happens. The safe move for a band that put out a big-time debut album is usually to ride the momentum from it and record a similar set of songs quickly to put out. But Fleet Foxes evidently did not want to do that. That would have resulted in a set of songs that wasn't quite as good as the debut album. Robin Pecknold was confident enough in his ability to match the expectations to take time out to make something great again, even though it took a while. It's somewhat reminiscent of Arcade Fire, who only put out an album every three years or so but each time they do, the album becomes classic. It speaks volumes that Fleet Foxes was able to pull this off — they are the real deal.

The following post was written by the editor of OnSugar blog Stars of Reality.

It's official! Singer Cheryl Cole will join Simon Cowell as a judge on The X Factor, a singing competition that will premiere this fall on Fox. Cheryl is a chart-topping superstar in the UK, but she isn't a household name in the United States just yet. Here are a few things you should know about Chery Cole.

1) She rose to fame as part of the pop group Girls Aloud, which was formed on a UK reality show called Popstars.

2) Cheryl stepped out as a multi-platinum solo artist in 2009, with hit songs like "Fight For This Love."

3) She has been judging the UK version of The X Factor for three years. "[She] has been fantastic to work with," Simon Cowell said in a press release. "She is also a complete brat! Most importantly, this girl can spot talent."

4) She is rumored to be dating DWTS pro Derek Hough (yes, Derek Hough!) since last year. The two have never confirmed it — but they haven't denied the obvious relationship either.

5) Cheryl almost died last year when she became sick with malaria. Her illness made headlines across the world. Derek was by her side through the ordeal. "I'm so excited to be taking part in the American version of The X Factor," Cheryl said in a press release. I absolutely love it here in the U.K., and with the talent they have out in America, I'm sure we're going to find someone very special. I can't wait to get started."

Are you excited that she will be an X Factor judge? Tell us in the comments!

OK. Seriously, my DVR was all lined up, Blackberry put aside for me to curl up on my leather couch with a bowl of popcorn to watch Lifetime's William & Kate movie premiere. Ten minutes into the movie, I realized that the tissues I thought I'd need were going to be tears of laughter than of romance.

The actors in the movie were pretty similar in appearances to the real-life people they were portraying, though Prince Harry came across as angry, evil and just plain weird. We got to see the famous sheer-dress, though the movie's version was boring compared to the original, and Kate's wardrobe was the result of a bad wardrobe budget. Never attempt to re-create couture and real labels on a budget. Some of the movie was so cheesy and so unrealistic. I sincerely doubt that Prince William would ever sing to Kate to woo her, and I highly doubt that the conversation between William and his father, Prince Charles, was accurate. Their conversation of how Princess Diana chose the public life seemed a little sad, and I highly doubt there is any concrete evidence of dialogue that the writers chose to use.

The entire movie was was so slow and dragged out that by the time that the finale/engagement was shown, I was more dumbfounded by the bad computer-imaging of a safari background than by William proposing to Kate. Did anybody else laugh at how bad the acting was between Kate and her mother? Or that the "St. Andrews" college looked more community than Ivy League (folding chairs and tables? Paper decorations?). This movie was cast, directed, and launched way too fast. I'd rather see this in two years to see a wedding scene. Ugh. I was so angry that I wasted my time watching such a horrible movie, but at the same time, I was fascinated and easily amused at how bad it was. The only upside of the entire two hours was the actor playing William, Nico Evers-Swindell. He was nice to watch, and seriously much better looking than the real Prince of Wales.

The following recap of Parenthood was contributed by community member gtettey, who posted it on the OnSugar blog Screen Time.

The Bravermans are going through changes; some for better and some for worse. This week we focus on the two teenage daughters of the family who seem to be slipping away from their parents. Haddie took the next step in her relationship with Alex and now has to deal with the repercussions at home. Amber is still reeling from her college rejections and has chosen to take her life in a downward spiral. Let's break down the episode after the jump.

• I'm just going to go ahead and say it: Amber has lost her mind! She is down right destructive. She's smoking and playing golf with Gary in the office when she's supposed to be working. Didn't she just promise Julia that she wouldn't do that again? Doesn't he have cars to valet? She's not only putting her image and job in jeopardy, but Julia's also. But she has the perfect solution for this problem. She quits, because she doesn't need money for school anymore. There is such a thing as rolling admission, but I guess they've never heard of that. Since cars and law firm offices are no longer readily available she hooks up in Zeek's office. (Gross!) But when Sarah calls her out on her behavior and the drugs, things just escalate. Amber storms out of the house pushing her mother, purposely, to the ground in the process. She takes off smoking and drinking with Gary and, no surprise, they get in a car accident (a la Callie and Arizona). Honestly, after all the preaching she did to her brother and Haddie about addictions, you would think she would act smarter.

The following recap of Parenthood was contributed by community member gtettey, who posted it on the OnSugar blog Screen Time.

We open this week's episode with Crosby rehashing his dalliance in an empty house to an unidentified woman. He seems to be making new plans in the wake of Jasmine's decision last week. Crosby isn't the only one making possibly questionable plans. It's prom and Adam is worried that Haddie's after-prom plans may include sex. Sarah is working hard to become a playwright and is forced to make a choice when it comes to her work. Amber makes some choices about college and her future. While everyone else is making life-changing decisions, Julia is left to deal with one that was dealt to her.

• All Crosby wants is to get his family back. His indiscretion is still haunting him with Jasmine gone and troubles with Adam. Looking for someone to talk to and trying to find a way to get Jasmine back, Crosby recounts the story to a real estate agent. After seeing the house, Crosby goes to Adam with his new plan. However, Adam is still pissed and kicks him out. Adam needs to let it go. He and Kristina can be so self-righteous. It's really annoying. Clearly, Crosby knows that what he did was wrong and takes full responsibility for it. He didn't mean for it to happen. I also hate how they blame it all on Crosby and act like Gabby was the victim. That is not the case, but that's a post for another day. At the end of the day, they are family and Adam just needs to forgive him. In an attempt to be diplomatic, Sarah argues this point to Adam and urges him to be there for Crosby and look at the house because he's in pain. As the rest of the Braverman siblings take a look at the house, Crosby admits that he hastily and stupidly bought the house (not the pretty cottage-style house, but the shanty across the street) as a grand gesture. He can't back out now because he sold the house boat to do it. I'm going to miss that little boat. In the end, Adam shows up telling him that it was a grown up thing to do and agrees to help him fix up the house.

The following post is an excerpt from davidwolfson of OnSugar blog Scene Be Seen.

Opener "Machu Picchu" starts strong, with Casablancas singing startlingly high and the guitarists laying down reggae-influenced lines during the verses; keep in mind that it was penned by Valensi. Next up is "Under Cover of Darkness," the album's first single. Upon its release, it was seen as a return to form by some and was criticized by others for retreading ground that they had already covered with their first album. It certainly strikes similarities with the style of Is This It, which makes sense given the fact that it was written by the entire band as a whole. It's chock-full of catchy guitar riffs and has a huge chorus, although they decide to change the tempo a bit with a slower Valensi solo. It's the point on the album when The Strokes sound most like The Strokes, and I consider it a highlight.

Third on the album is "Two Kinds of Happiness," which features a chorus far more intense than the verses, and some freaked-out sounding guitar parts. After that, we hear the B-side "You're So Right," penned by bassist Nikolai Fraiture. It is the most experimental moment on the album, and certainly steps further in the direction that First Impressions of Earth hinted at, with very futuristic-sounding electronic parts. Fifth on the album is the Valensi-penned "Taken For A Fool," which was performed on David Letterman a few days after its release. It is a definite highlight on the album, garnering praise even from the most negative reviews of the album. It has a sort of LA showtime vibe to it, and features funky verses that retain the signature Strokes sound while experimenting. The LA part makes sense because Valensi spent a lot of time there while the band were on hiatus, and being the only member who did not start a side project, it seems that he saved some good ideas for The Strokes, such as this. It works perfectly.

In the following post from OnSugar blog Screen Time, gtettey shared the TV series she's rewatching. Read her post and then share the shows that you have revisited in the comments!

While most shows have taken yet another midseason break until April, I've taken the time to get reacquainted with old friends. No, I haven't been looking through old yearbooks and calling the numbers left under "K.I.T." or facebooking my old college roommates. I've been watching old TV shows that have been replaced by all the shows that are now on break. Swap Buffy with The Vampire Diaries, ER with Grey's Anatomy, and Beverly Hills, 90210 with, well, 90210 and you get what I mean. You don't have to have a huge collection of TV on DVD box sets to watch some of your favorite shows; thanks to the Internet most of them are just a click away.

I usually take slow times, like these, in my TV lineup to re-watch some of my favorite defunct shows. For some reason, Roswell always makes a comeback during the Summer, My So-Called Life makes an appearance as often as possible (because who doesn't love an excuse to watch Jordan Catalano), and Freaks and Geeks gets sprinkled somewhere in between. But these aren't the only shows that I love to see make a comeback on the small screen. After a failed attempt to watch Jack & Jill on YouTube (there's only a couple episodes posted), I moved on to another NYC-based WB show: Felicity. Did the urge to watch Felicity have anything to do with Scott Foley's role on Grey's Anatomy? Of course! Now that I'm on the last three episodes of the series, I'm sad to see to old friends leave, but glad to see the new ones return. Although most shows, namely those on The CW, return the week of April 18, a couple start back up a few weeks early. Thankfully, The Vampire Diaries returns, along with Isobel, on April 7 and Grey's Anatomy begins the week earlier. Let's hope Noel (Scott Foley) is made a regular on Grey's, because without him I have no use for Teddy. He's the only thing keeping her storyline interesting.

Now, your turn: what TV series do you go back to, or is there an old show you want to give a chance to now?

The following post is an excerpt from the editor of OnSugar blog Stars of Reality.

There are so many highlights to dish about from Jersey Shore season three, episode 12.

• Vinny admitted that it "could get there" with Nicole and he has "genuine feelings" for her. (Too bad he turned into Vinny the jerk later on in the episode, and offended Snooks by treating her like sloppy seconds.)
• Speaking of Vinny, the guys convinced him to get his ears pierced. Cute moment!
• Danielle "the stalker" showed up again at the club — and Pauly declared he wouldn't go anywhere by himself from now on.

• Sammi and Ronnie made up and then hooked up. No surprise there!
• We were introduced to the "atomic bomb" — the biggest grenade Pauly D had ever seen. (We kinda feel bad for her though.)
• Ronnie's drunk mother called the house. In fact, she was drunk dialing all day. Seems like the poor woman was just looking for someone to talk to. But Mike took it too far when he told her all about the latest Ronnie-Sammi drama.
• Mike stirred up trouble between Sammi and Ronnie once again — by calling Sammi out on the whole Arvin drama. Looks like Sam might be hiding something, but we'll have to wait until next week to find out.
