What happens when you miss just one night on the TiVo? October 20, 2006

You mess up your entire TV schedule.  I think I watched Monday shows on Tuesday and one Tuesday show (Gilmore Girls) and then Wednesday was dedicated to all of Tuesday’s shows, Thursday we finished watching Weds shows (luckily Weds is our slimmest day) and tonight we’ll finish Thursday’s shows and then MAYBE watch Friday’s shows…..I really watch too much TV.  But it’s free entertainment, who can beat free*??

So let’s see, I read on ‘The Remote’ that 30 Rock and 20 Good Years aren’t doing so hot in the ratings, surprised? Not me…..30 Rock sucks, so why even stick around for 20 Good Years?  Even though I LOVE 20 GYs….I can see it getting cancelled.  NBC really needs to broaden their horizions when it comes to show types.  They are sticking to the stupid comedies and law dramas, granted this season they finally got out of their law and doctor drama rut and found Studio 60 and Friday Night Lights but still….they need people who actually WATCH TV choosing shows and not some suits who read focus group reports.  NBC used to be THE Network, then CBS stole that from them and now ABC is starting to steal the spotlight from CBS.  There have been times when I forget that NBC even exists….sad.

So hopefully this weekend I’ll get caught up on the TiVo and get my schoolwork done and won’t have to disappear for a week to finish my final project.  I’ll post when something relevant happens on TV…..maybe….if I get to see it happen, that is.

*yes, I know that TV isn’t really FREE, we pay a sattellite bill, but at least we aren’t charged per hour….damn THAT would be a big bill!

Sunday and Monday all rolled into one! October 16, 2006

The Amazing Race- Peter, oh poor little Peter….The man who makes me want to hurl my shoe at the TV when he’s on there whining or screaming at poor Sara about something or another “YOU CAN DO IT! RUN SARA!” Blah, blah, blah….. He’s an ass, we’ve figured that out.  I’m glad that Kentucky didn’t get eliminated, but I’m sure that’s going to happen next week.  I just hope the ‘recovering addicts/models’ get eliminated next…they’re annoying me.  And soon I’ll be breaking out the tequilia and everytime they say “We’re recovering addicts” I’m going to drink a shot.  I should be good and sloshed by the pit stop.

Brothers & Sisters- I am just so in love with this show….I think I’m going to create my own category of shows, the ones that I love so much that the kids must be quiet, no one should talk to me or try to get my attention while ‘My Stories’ are on…included in this category are; Gilmore Girls, Grey’s Anatomy and now Brothers & Sisters.  It’s an excellent show! Go watch it! NOW!…well maybe not now, but soon!

Monday-

How I Met Your Mother- OMG! How funny was it that Lilly and Barney were living together? HA! That was sooo funny! And Marshall’s ‘bro’ dating…heeee! I giggled more than I ever have through this show! Great episode.

The Class- Well, well, well…little Richie is married it seems!  Very interesting!  And who, by a show of hands, believe that the snarky girl will resent the bambi dude once she toughens him up…….after they start dating of course. yeah, me too.

Houswives update over that The Remote…go there, read and read the other stuff there, there is a ton of good info over there, I read it everyday!  

TV Wrap-up October 3, 2006

Well, let’s see….I missed 15 minutes in the middle of ‘The Amazing Race’ because of stupid football, or baseball or whatever stupid sport was on…HELLOOOO doesn’t everyone in the free world have cable or sattelite now, and don’t we all have like 597,000 channels, and aren’t like 38 of those sports channels and CAN’T THEY JUST TELEVISE THAT SHIT OVER THERE???  Ok, that’s off my chest….now on to other things like…..Duke and Lauren were kicked off ‘The Race’….I didn’t really care too much, I don’t pay attention to them much.  All I’m concerned with is David and Mary and Terry and Tom (or is it Tim? It’s T & T)…so there’s my ‘Race’ recap

Without a Trace was actually pretty good, I thought it would be stupid and cheesy, but it wasn’t all that stupid nor cheesy.  Another great episode! And how funny is it that CBS Sunday is ‘Race’, ‘Case’, and ‘Trace’…did they do that on purpose? ‘Cause it’s cute.

 Monday’s ‘The Class’ was actually really funny!  It was slow to start but really it’s just gotten better and better with each episode.  If you watched the premiere then just stopped, pick back up, it’s getting pretty damn funny with each episode!  I don’t want it to end, so please, watch it!

There’s a review of tonight’s ‘Gilmore Girls’ over at Pass The Remote if you’re interested!   Oh yeah and I sort of ripped into Desperate Housewives over there too.

My Apologies! September 30, 2006

Sorry for no update, Thursday and Friday were crazy around here, so let me get caught up really quickly so that I can finish my programming homework this weekend and post regularly this week!

Grey’s Anatomy-  Can I just say “THANK YOU SHONDA RHIMES!” for finally giving us a female character who decides to ‘play the field’ and date more than one person at a time!  Thank you, Dr. Grey for NOT making a choice between the two…it serves McDreamy right!

CSI- What another great episode! I can’t believe Sam got shot, but doesn’t that mean that she’s now wealthy beyond imagination?

Six Degrees- I never realized how much I would like this show, it’s very interesting andn the storylines are intriguing, and it’s just a good all around show!

And I’m missing some stuff, like how farkin’ CHEESY Ghost Whisperer was last night (SNORE!) and how great Numb3rs was…and I’m sure that there are more…OH YEAH! I wanted to write about Survivor, it’s finally getting more involved and I can tell who I’m going to like and who I’m not going to like…and what makes Candice so freakin’ special? Did I miss something?

Ok, more on Monday with Housewives and all that! Have a great weekend!!! Oh don’t forget ‘Lost’ premeieres this week! Don’t miss it!

*excuse anny typos, I’m in a huge hurry and my N key sticks sometimes, sorry!*

Tuesday’s Premeires September 27, 2006

Well last night was Gilmore Girls, which I reviewed over at Pass The Remote, go check it out to see how I felt about the new writing (it’s not bad, promise!)

Also last night was ‘Help Me Help You’ with Ted Danson as a psychologist who runs group therapy.  It was very ‘Dear John’-ish in that it’s about the lives of a group of people who all attend the same group therapy sessions.  It even had the dude that was in ‘Dear John’ which I found a little weird, but decided to give the show a chance.  It wasn’t that funny.  I’m sorry, I love Ted Danson and even like to watch ‘Cheers’ reruns on TVLand, but really…it just wasn’t that funny.  The characters weren’t introduced that well, it was sort of like “Oh here, we’re going to tell you a story and here’s so-and-so and they have intimacy issues” Next please….  It just didn’t draw me in like most shows do.  Hopefully it’ll pick up within the next three episodes, but I don’t see how it could pick up anymore, it’s just really drab.  I’m actually having a hard time remembering what I watch last night…Dude that resembles Jason Ritter (that was creepy!) who tries to commit suicide, falls on his boss….likes a chick in the office, asks her out, she rejects him, he finds a chick who, like him, has some issues….blah blah blah…..Luckily for ABC and Ted Danson, there isn’t anything else in that time slot that I’m missing because of this show, or I’d cancel the season pass and move along…but I’ll stick it out.  I’ve always been a glutton for punishment.

Monday night football and very little TV September 26, 2006

Well, since I usually watch CBS shows on Monday, last night was a slim TV night.  There was the Falcons/Saints game…and since I live in Atlanta (THe Flacons) and am a HUGE Saints (New Orleans) fan…it was definately something I switched to to check the score…I’m so excited that my team, who is usually last in the league, actually won last night and are now undefeated at 3-0! Go Saints!!!!

Studio 60 was excellent last night as usual and I really just love that show!  There were great, laugh-outloud moments and moments where you just stopped everything and paid attention.  Kudos for the creators of that show, they have done and excellent job so far!

Tonight is the premiere of my favorite show of all time, Gilmore Girls…I wrote a little diddy over at Pass The Remote about the premeire if you want to check it out! 

I’ll be back tomorrow with more about Gilmore Girls and tonight’s TV! Have a great Tuesday night everyone!

Tuesday TV September 20, 2006

Well, last night let’s see what was on the TiVo;

Rerun of Gilmore Girls (didn’t watch it, but it’s there so we’ll probably watch it to refresh us on where they left off last season)
Dog The Bounty Hunter- It’s was his normal ‘Get that Muthafucker!’ episode…nothing new and fancy…BUT, I did find out that he was arrested for bounty huntingin Mexico where it’s illegal! When did this happen and how did I not know about it?  I found out about Steve Irwin’s death within HOURS of it happening, yet Dog is arrested and released and his family tapes an episode and I’m still sitting here in my cave under my rock playing spades with the neighborhood brontosaurus…….

The Unit- It was pretty good, I knew that Tiffy and Mack wouldn’t leave, I mean HELLLLLOOOOOOO her affair and his abuse are about the only things in that show that interest me…and I’m sure 90% of the viewing public.

Boston Legal- I just LOVE this show, it’s never dull, it never ceases to make me giggle at the outrageous attitudes and behaviors of these characters, I just love me som Denny Crane…and the doll, OMG the doll was great!

Smith- Uhhhhh, whhhaaaaa…hhhuuuhhhhh? Oh yeah, Smith, that show where he’s suppose to be this super meticulous bad guy yet his team made more mistakes than a thug holding up a liquor store….Yeah, I’ll keep watching it, but only because there’s nothing else in that spot..but it didn’t suck me in and make me want a new episode.

Million Dollar Listing- HA! Those rich people are crazy…I think it’s a prerequisite to being rich, you must be either stupid, crazy, or both, preferrably both!

I still have an episode of Buy Me (HGTV) on the TiVo to watch, those people are sooo funny when it comes to selling their houses!  And the episode of Dog ‘The Family Speaks’ about his arrest….that should be interesting!

So, Smith wasn’t a total wash for me, but it isn’t my favorite new show…right now my fave is Studio 60, but we’ll see……
