Craziest TV Moments of 2007


Comments (4)


Did anyone catch "The Biggest Loser" finale last night? It's unbelievable how these people can drop that much weight and transform themselves into basically brand new people. It made me want to put down that last slice of pizza I was contemplating!

The show, in all of its makeover madness, is right up there on my craziest TV moments of 2007. But since it just happened, I won't add it to the list. Instead I'll just count down my Top Ten most bizarre, most laughable, most ridiculous and most intense moments in television this year (up until last night!).

10. Meredith Flat lines [And So Does Season Four] On "Grey's Anatomy."
What was one of my favorite shows last year has now become one of my least favorite shows. It all started when Dr. Grey nearly kicked the bucket after falling into the water last February. Along comes McDreamy to save the day - butc after the weak storylines this year, and the chemistry lacking pairing of George and Izzie, it might have been better if he put Meredith [and all of us] out of our misery.

9. Nancy Burns Down Her Own House On "Weeds"
What is a suburban pot dealing, widowed mother of two to do when her entire world is falling to pieces? Well, at least in Nancy Botwin's, case she sets her own home ablaze.

8. Rosie vs. Elizabeth
Who doesn't love a good catfight between politicians? Wait a minute…that's not what happened at all. Instead it was a right wing/left wing feud between two co-workers on a national daytime TV show. Clearly, there were others issues bubbling under the surface for such a heated argument to come to a head like that. Rosie left the show that day and never came back.

7. Marie Osmond Collapses
It's always hard to pick the wildest reality show moment, but this year it was easy. She made it all the way through her Samba but just as the judges were hitting her with their critiques, Marie suddenly collapses to the floor. She claims her fainting spell was due to allergies from all the recent fires, but there are still some who believe it was staged by Marie and her camp.

6. "American Idol's" Crying Girl
You probably don't even remember her name (for the record it was Ashley Ferel) but you sure remember the sight of this 13-year-old girl crying uncontrollably during Sanjaya's screeching rendition of "You Really Got Me" during British Invasion Week. No, she wasn't crying because of the singing, she was having a Beatles-like reaction to seeing her new favorite "Idol." Ashley used up her 15 minutes of fame [and then some] by going on virtually every TV show in America and then showing up at the Finale to shed some more tears. Where was David Hasselhoff when you needed him?

5. Sanjaya's Faux Hawk
Yes, two "Idol" Moments make it on my list this year because, while we barely finished talking about the crying girl, the next week Sanjaya steals the show yet again when he busts out with the craziest pony-tailed hair we had ever seen on a boy. Fortunately, the look didn't spark a new trend, but it certainly had people talking from Late Night to Local News.

4. Did Lynette Lose Her Entire Family on "Desperate Housewives"?
A TV moment worthy of a season finale… but no... it was just two weeks ago when we watched Wisteria Lane get demolished by a tornado. The final scene in which Lynette realizes that the home of Mrs. McClusky, where Tom and their five kids were riding out the storm in the basement, had been destroyed, was by far the most shocking and gut wrenching moment on TV this year. We do know at least some of them survive, since creator Marc Cherry has hinted that two or three people will lose their lives after the storm. No mention of a family of six.

3. "Lost's" Flash Forward
Proof you can't believe everything you see on "Lost" came to a head on the May 23rd Season Three finale this year, when it was revealed at the very end that the customary flash back storyline (that have been used in every episode to date) was actually a flash forward. Jack and Kate eventually get off the island... but at what cost? It looks like we will learn the answers to that soon.

2. Britney's Career Comeback Stumble
What can you even say ya'll about Spears' embarrassing performance at the "VMA's" - that the entire world already hasn't?!

1. "The Sopranos" black out
If every home in America tuned into HBO adjusting their cable box (during the final moments of the series finale) to see why the hell their screen went to black doesn't qualify as the craziest moment of the year... then I need to get out of this business.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised you didn't mention a thing as of yet about your miss favorite, Ashley Tisdale's nose job. Concerning this list, I completely agree with number four, definitely sad.

I haven't said anything because I'm withholding judgement until I see Ashley in person and can judge for myself. I will say that the pictures shocked me. Not at all what I expected. I hope for her sake SHE is happy with the results.
