Where's Your Baby!?!?

Ok, first and foremost, does anyone else HATE the new imdb format as much as I do? Ugh! I can't find anything!

Last night I saw the premiere of House, tried to watch The Event (just wasn't in the right mood to pay attention to all the time changes, warning, don't try this show after 2 glasses of wine, the pilot requires sobriety), fell in love all over again with Glee, and caught the new Raising Hope and Running Wilde. (I need to catch up on the end of last season for both NCISs and Life Unexpected before I go there.) Now, let us begin:

House:
First of all, DON'T YOU HAVE A BABY?! WHO IS WATCHING THE BABY??? Yes, I was screaming this at the screen every 3 minutes. I am the first person to suspend (and expect others to suspend) disbelief for TV, but it always irritates me when people have babies (as a rather large storyline) and then drop the concept once the drama of it is over. I was never really a huge Huddy 'shipper, and still haven't decided how I feel about it...but either way, I can't wait to see how Wilson reacts when he finds out. Also, while I'm sad to see 13 go, I Love Amber Tamblyn (yeah, Emily Q!). This season could go one of 2 ways, and it will go there hard; this relationship needs to be handled very very carefully...good lick writers!

Glee:
Dude, you're mouth is huge! How many tennis balls can you fit in there?
Oh my little Gleeks, I missed you. I have heard the Glee version of Empire State of Mind like 5 times on the radio, but it was So much better with the dancing (though, with all the talk of budget cuts, where did the new outfits come from so soon?). Also, Telephone, while short, was awesome. I was a little less impressed with the Sue and Will v. Beiste storyline; I wanted more singing and humor, that was just sad...I felt bad for the Panther. This season is going to be awesome if the music keeps up this pace (and you know me and Britney, cannot WAIT for next week!!!)!

Raising Hope:
I thought this would be cute and funny, but I underestimated how much so. This is another one where you definitely need to suspend reality to really get into it (sex with a fugitive once who gets pregnant and then the electric chair all within a year and a half?...I can accept that), but once you do, it is so worth it. And OMG, Garret Dillahunt in such a different role from his usual (superevil) choices (i.e.Simon from Burn Notice, child molester in SVU, serial killer in Criminal Minds, Cromartie in Sarah Conner Chronicles, Matthew Ross on 4400, and probably 100 other things I haven't seen)! There were so many great moments, and now I know how to harass grocery store managers in ways I had never thought of (melon graffiti!)! I am loving the funny and the baby (so supercute). Bottom line, I cannot wait for next week!

Running Wilde:
Also cute, but I actually had higher hopes for this one than for Raising Hope (AD creators and actors and all), but was...mildly disappointed. Will Arnet seems to just be playing GOB Bluth again, not really pushing himself. Again, it had its moments ("I saved a tine horse today!...Well I will......I know where it is..."), and his interactions with his neighbor/friend/competition-guy were the hilarious ("Doctor!"). But, let's be honest, everything really hinges on Keri Russell's ability to not cut her hair...and I, for one, have been burnt before! Final Verdict: who names their kid Puddle? Ugh!
