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!  

Sunday TV ROCKS and Some News October 9, 2006

The Amazing Race was great last night!  I really think that Sara has had it with Peter and is about over him being a jackass, I can’t say I blame her.  When I first said aloud “That Peter dude is an ASS!” my husband was shocked and asked why I thought that….Last night, however he said aloud “Wow! He really is an asshole!”  Yes, my friends…Dr. Peter is an asshole, it’s offical, I think so, my husband thinks so, and I’m pretty sure Dr. Peter’s own girldfriend even thinks so.  I would really like to see him get off his ass and do a road block that requires skill and strength, I’m sure I could make fun of him for HOURS!

I was sorry to see T n T go, but really they broke down and just fell apart.  I’m a little sick of the beauty queens though, I was digging them last week, but this week they’re just annoying.  And weren’t they suppose to have their clue, all parts of it, when they cross the pit stop or they’re docked 30 minutes?  They weren’t docked, or maybe they were and it was edited out, it looked like T n T came in HOURS after the girls did.

Desperate Housewives was GREAT last night!  Go on over to Pass The Remote and read it, it’s worth it, really.

Brothers & Sisters was AWESOME, it was just beautiful when Nora announced to the entire party that she knew her husband’s mistress was in their presence and that she lived in a house that Nora’s late husband bought and paid for.  I smiled the entire time through that scene.  I am really digging this show and am so glad that I caught it early, have seen it from the start AND it’s popular…for once I picked the right show….Now, why didn’t ‘Heroes’ intrest me at all and it’s soooo popular?  I don’t get it, it sounds sooooo stupid to me, but it’s one of the more popular shows…how weird.

Now, on to the editorial part…’Smith’ has been cancelled by CBS.  I can’t say that I’m surprised, it was pretty boring and stupid and I couldn’t get into really caring about any of the characters….besides it just clears up one more time spot on the TiVo, right?  But every time that a show gets cancelled I feel bad for the actors and for the crew and the folks who enjoyed the show.  We have been victims of early cancellation before and it just SUCKS to really get into a show and then have some execs pull it off the schedule and never see it again…it’s almost as if it never existed.  But then again, that’s show business right?  Now, I hope that some more shows fall quickly, that way I can’t get attached to them too much before they get the axe.

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.

What a Sunday! September 25, 2006

First off, I’m writing for Pass The Remote, doing recaps and stuff on Desperate Housewives, Gilmore Girls and teaming up with TVFan on Lost!  I’ve already written my first entry on ‘Housewives’, so my take on the premiere, go to PTR and check it out!

On to last night’s TV-

Amazing Race- Ok, I’m going to be the first (that I know of) to say it….Peter (of Peter & Sara), is an asshole.  He’s constantly pushing Sara by reminding her “Show them how tough you are! Show them your strength! RUN!”….Now, if I were Sara I would see this as he is a little uneasy that his girlfriend has one leg and he wants to prove to everyone that his girlfriend is better than anyone else, despite her diability.  I’m sure a lot of people see it as he’s just ‘cheering’ her on…but seriously, his tone would make me smack him upside his head with my shoe (or in Sara’s case, I’d use the leg!)….He’s an ass, in my not so humble opinion, he’s an ass.  Ok, he’s coming across as an ass on TV, is that better? Maybe he’s a really swell guy, I don’t know.

David & Mary are my faves….They’re just simple folk who probably thought “Hey! Let’s do THAT!! That looks like fun! It’ll be a free vacation! SWEET!”  And they got on the show and I LOVE THEM!  They’re just happy to be traveling, they aren’t nasty or condecending, they’re just who they are and that’s ok.  And I swear the highlight of the show last night was when they were talking about Tom & Terry and they looked around and said in their quiet voices “We ain’t never been around gay people before.” Then Mary chimed in “I REALLY LIKE ‘EM!”  That was great!! I love it! GO Mary and David!!!!

And can I say I was a little sad that the cheerleaders got booted, they tried really hard and busted their tails and I actually felt bad for them.  I usually don’t care this early on, but they really did give it all they had.  I’m hoping that some folks in the back of the pack move up front so that the ‘uppers’ will get all territorial and then we can see some good drama! I just love The Race!

Without A Trace- Excellent start to the season!  Nothing overly dramatic happened, but it was a good show as usual.  Let’s see if I think that after next week’s episode, the stripper episode as I’ll call it…..grasping at straws much?

Brothers & Sisters- Ok, when I first read about this show I thought “Wow, that sounds like it could be really good…but it will probably suck.”  Then I realized that Sally Field and Rachel Griffiths are in it (yeah, Calista is in it, but we won’t hold that against the show, besides she actually did a fairly good job with her character!).  I’ve loved Rachel Griffiths since Six Feet Under (yeah she was on other shows, but I don’t remember her from any of those) and I am so glad that she has another show, she’s a talented actress!  Anyway, back to the show…EXCELLENT SHOW!!! I am throughly wrapped up in this show now! There was enough intrigue to leave me wanting more, but without being too over-the-top, the characters gave enough background information on themselves to give me a good idea of who everyone is and the conflict between the mother and daughter is excellent…Sally Field is the best actress…EVER! Watch this show if you haven’t already, it’s worth an hour of your time, trust me. 

Between Brothers & Sisters, Studio 60 and Men in Trees, this new season of TV has proven fruitful! And we still haven’t seen Ugly Betty!!  Wow, we have way more TV on our TiVo than any normal person should have…..I should read more.
