Wow, it's been a while

So, it's been since '06 since I've graced that halls of tv.com..........that's a long time. Don't really know why I'm back, or for long it'll be. But, I'm bored and I wanna look around a website for a while haha.

I dunno who all else is still around on this site, but hoping to see most of my old friends on here.

Midseason Shows

I watch....a lot of tv. But hey, I like what's being shown. This fall a few of my shows have been axed, some are just getting out of repeats, and the reality shows are coming back soon. So I've caught some of the new shows (or returning shows), and some I like and others are just......blah. For example: Jake in Progress: John Stamos' two episode stint on ER was way overhyped. I wanted to see Uncle Jessie in a show I like. And with his comedy for ABC starting its second season I figured I'd give it a try. And other than Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me) coping with her pregnancy, this show wasn't funny....at all. So unless I'm utterly bored Monday's when this comes on, I'll steer away from this show. Emily's Reasons Why Not: Another horrible ABC comedy. Filled with unfunny cliches and some bad acting this was painful to watch. on to what was an actually good ABC comedy; Crumbs: We see the return of Fred Savage (Wonder Years) as a screen writer in a slump. He returns home to Conneticut, where his mother was released from a psych ward, and his brother is manning the restaruant in the family. Jane Curtin is hilarious, and the guy that plays Jody is very funny as well. The only problem is that Savage's character as the closeted gay son seems unnecessary to the show. It just didn't add anything special to the pilot. And a show I thought I'd never watch was Dancing with the Stars. When it came out in the summer I thought it would be a hokey way for ABC to get some ratings. Never watched an episode, although I was glad 'Peterman' got second. But instead of watching re-runs this Thrusday I gave it a try. And I liked it. :0 So apparently ABC's been attracting me with its new shows, although very few midseason shows are out yet. Hopefully Love Monkey won't be as horrid as Reasons *shudders*

My Take on the Golden Globes:

While I don't plan on watching the 63rd Globes ceremony, its still fun to predict who'll win, and who I would like to win. Plus my own version, giving all my favorites props. I'll only go over the TV portions, seeing as how this is tv.com... Best Drama Series: The only show of the bunch that I watch is Lost. My winner: Lost Predicted winner: Rome Best Actress: Drama I'm happy, both Patricia Arquette and the wonderful Kyra Sedgwick made the list. Glenn Close's performance on The Shield went unnoticed at the Emmy's but this ain't the Emmy's. My Winner: Kyra Sedgwick Predicted Winner: Glenn Close Best Actor: Drama Once again Matthew Fox is the only person whose show I watch; although I have seen a few 24 episodes. My Winner: Matthew Fox Predicted winner: Wentworth Miller Best Comedy Series: None of these I watch.... My Winner: Weeds just because I think the premise seems cool. Predicted Winner: Everybody Hates Chris Best Actress: Comedy Full of Housewives four Desperate and one who sells Weeds. My Winner: Mary-Louise Parker, only to keep any of the Housewives from winning. Predicted Winner: Eva Longoria...or any of the other three... Best Actor: Comedy Scrubs is ok, but I think that without Zach Braff it would be nothing. My Winner: Zach Braff Predicted Winner: Jason Lee Ok, with that over with here's how I'd like the Globes to go...The winners of my categories will come later feel free to tell me which you like the best... Best Drama Series: Crossing Jordan NBC Lost ABC The Closer TNT ER NBC Medium NBC Best Actress - Drama: Kyra Sedgwick - The Closer Patricia Arquette - Medium Jill Hennessey - Crossing Jordan Maura Tierny - ER Lauran Graham - Gilmore Girls Best Actor - Drama: J.K. Simmons - The Closer Mekhi Phiefer - ER Miguel Ferrer - Crossing Jordan David Boreanaz - Bones Eddie Cibrian - Invasion And we get to the comedies....not a genre that's been good as of late IMO Best Comedy Series: King of Queens CBS How I Met Your Mother CBS Reba WB Best Actress - Comedy: Alyson Hannigan – How I Met your Mother Leah Remini – King of Queens Reba McEntire - Reba Melissa Peterman - Reba Best Actor- Comedy: Neil Patrick Harris - How I Met your Mother Jerry Stilelr - King of Queens Kevin James - King of Queens Josh Radnor - How I Met your Mother Steve Howey - Reba

Weekly Rewind (Nov 20-25)

Been a while since I've recapped my weekly viewings, and hey now it's got a title! Exciting isn't it?!?!? Sunday: NBC how you tortue me so, three weeks without a Crossing Jordan episode! Come on NBC, don't let me down like this again! But, with CJ's absence I have been able to view some great Masterpiece Theater on PBS. They did a two week stint over Elizabeth I. I really enjoyed Anne-Marie Duff and her portrayl of the Virgin Queen. BTW Alex, I've got it taped if you ever want to see it. You really should, its great. Even if you aren't into history like I am. Charmed - Hulkus Polkus wasn't exactly the greatest episode ever, but you get used to these half baked things when you watched this show. I'm glad Ivan Sergi has landed a season role as Henry, Paige's new love interest, but I still wish he was on CJ....back to the show. A strange virus is effecting all magical beings, and may wipe them all out. Phoebe no longer has faith in her premonitions, which doesn't help her reassure Billie about her own powers. The virus was created by the idiots at Homeland Security, and the Charmed Ones stop it, all in an hour's work. Sucks that Leo is going away next episode. Monday Surface- Ok, Laura and Rich are in the bottom of the ocean in that hunk of junk they call a sub, with the nice sea beasties at their breeding grounds. Not such a happy place to be, especially with oxygen levels lowering and Jackson supposedly dead. Seriously guys, once I learn a sub characters name, they die. What's with that?? If I ever figure out creepy government man's name and he dies I may call it quits. With out Nim, Miles' storylines don't have the oomph they once had. Good thing Nim showed up at the end, all though he may have some blood lust after kicking that mean fisherman's tail. And Savannah's actually getting a soul! Medium The 3-D episode, not so 3-D for me. Seriously, the glasses wouldn't work! I sat close to the tv, sat on the couch, farther back, I tilted my head certain ways...thankfully I was alone :) . Nevertheless, this was one of the better episodes of the season. I'm glad that Scanlon is getting more air time, he's a great character, he and Allison should get more scenes together. And did Davalous get re-elected? Or has that not happened yet? No matter, I know he'll win or we have no show! And I love little Bridgette, she'll grow up to be something one day. :) Tuesday Biggest Loser- Here we are, the final 4. Two I really like, two I can't stand. Matt wins the challenge, cocky little butt hole.... and Andrea is sent home!! One out of two ain't bad. Although I feel that Matt'll win the whole thing, Seth has a slight chance, but Matt used to live where he could lose and gain weight on a whim, and he's got that craft back. So early congrats Matt, I hate you. Gilmore Girls Chris is back, and he's Rich! o_O' yeah, Chris rich too good to be true, but it is! The only thing harder to believe is how easily this plan is for Chris to pay for Yale, and take Emily and Richard out of Rory's life. Emily ain't giving that up so easily. The Amazing Race Stupid Weavers are still here. You know, I rally hate how the TAR boards are going. There are too many people, and they all bicker constantly! And there are way too many games floating around...anywho. The Linzes finally got 1st!! Yes, and the Bransen's are still chugging along. If they finish 1st and 2nd I'll be a happy man, although the Bransen's presnece this far still eludes me, I feel their time has come next episode. Wednesday It SUCKS to be sick on holidays, really does. We ate Turkey, dressing and all the fixings Wednesday because the family was going to be gone the rest of the week. And me, mom, and dad are all sick with some awful bug, I'll spare you the ghastly details. I was really peed off when fatigue overcame me and I missed pretty much the whole episode of Invasion! Dave and Mariel were eating chili fires and the next thing I know the sun's shining through the window. Lost I was able to catch though. Got to get to know Ana-Lucia, didn't really care about that...I was glad to see Rose/Bernard and Jin/Sun to finally reunite! I've thought Rose should be a regular from the beginning, but a frequent recurring is nice too. And Sun is defiently my favorite female character, and one of my fav's on the show. I hope that the show starts to show the back stories a little less each ep, like they did with Ana-Lucia. They've been on the island over 50 days, I think its safe to keep a larger portion of the show focused on present day. Thursday Happy Thanksgiving everybody!! My sickness had pretty much subsided enough for me to enjoy the leftovers! That Dallas/Denver game was a bunch of crap. Survivor Cindy's finally getting some recognition, and Lydia calls out Steph. Gary calls out Judd, vice versa, people are dumb and Gary goes. Blast you Rafe/Cindy take out Judd and Steph. PLEASE!!! Friday Close to Home - We finally get more of Annabeth's home life, even if it is in danger. This ep wasn't as moving as i had expected, but it was a very well done one. I like the new Friday slot.

Hey all!

Once the Survivor game is done, and I can sit back and breathe a little, I'm going to compose a list of the 100 Greatest Characters (from my perspective). So be ready to enjoy my little countdown!!

Survivor III

I'm glad to be the host for the next edition of TV.com's Survivor Reality programming. I hope to attract as many new players as I can, and to make the game an enjoyable experience. Don't worry if you don't watch Survivor, or know anything about it. This game isn't trivia based, so anyone can play! If you are interested in being in this next edition go to the Survivor Forums and sign right up! If you have any questions you may post them in the blog, or PM them to me.

Sole Survivor

16 contestants, 26 days, 1 Survivor. In a second attempt I was able to become Survior II's sole Survivor. Thank you all who voted for me, and thank you Pat; we did it! I've been given a lot of flak for my alliance with a good friend of mine, and I don't really care. If you want to stoop to berating me, and my integrity over an online game, go right ahead. Anywho I hope that I'll be able to host the third edition, and that it will be as enjoyable for the contestants as it is the host. Pat, Alex, Sarah thanks for always being there for me.

What a day

Yesterday I got to go to District Beta! Woo; of course I didn't place, but a day out of school is all good. How's uncle Poco?? ;) And then when I get home, I feel like crap. No improvements this morning, so home I stay. And Tomorrow is going to suck, two tests to make up, no telling how many pages of notes, and I'm overdue on my CISCO project by about...three days. But I won't dwell entirely on my bad day, had some great TV. Sunday Charmed- Ok Lindsey, I watched it, and have fallen in love with it once again, much better than what I figured it would be. But I'm so confused, why are they hiding their identities, who's the new girl, where did Dex come from, same with the Homeland Security guy, and what happened to their Detecitve friend, Dorian Gregory?? I'm sure you'll feel me in. BTW did Vanmeter's test suck? Crossing Jordan- I LOVE this show. Each episode is a knockout, and the cast is brilliant. But, I hate the tabloid guy that has become Jordan's new love interest, and I'm not to fond of Woody's new lady friend. The scene at the sperm bank between Nigel and Bug, classic. And Lilly, what happened to your detective friend?? Don't let Macy run him off, you two were great together. BTW, Lilly, what's with you and co-workers, first the creepy relationship with Macy(Dr. M I love ya, but you and Lilly, no!) and now it seems you're coming on to Bug....find your detective friend and get back with him! Monday Surface- This is becoming one of my favorite new shows. The acting is hokey, as is the writing, but its just too loveable to disregard. I mean Miles' and Nim's relationship is so sweet, and I loved Nim using the cattle prod against the animal control guy, pesky little thing. And how mych longer before all three major characters see each other? And, killing off Cirko and Singh?? Why, I just learned their names, and you kill them!!?? Oh well, the government man is uber creepy, like Sheriff Underlay on Invasion. Medium- Another favorite. This episode was wonderful, a great improvement on last weeks. The pshycic rivalry wasn't all it was cracked up to be (seeing as the opposer was a fraud), why not use the evil medium from last season? That would have been great. And we see the return of the Defensive Attorney, another great villain for the Duboius. I love Bridgette, and her drawing of daddy's bomb, she's just too cute. Next week a marathon of Medium's anyone that hasn't seen this show Check it out next Monday from 7-10 cst! You won't be disappointed. now off to sleepy by again.

This weeks TV

Already this seaons of new shows outshines last seaon. The return of my fav's and some new shows that are grabbing my attention are making me watch more and more...which in-and-of-iteself isn't a great thing for me to do, but I think I'll be fine ;) Sunday: Crossing Jordan- In my top five of favorite shows, this season has not let me down, even the LV crossover was a decent ep. This week Macy's still grumpy, I still want Winkler in the show, my friend tells me how wrong I am for wanting Winkler over Macy....anywhoo..There are three missing boys, one found dead, and against Macy's orders *gasp* Jordan goes on to look for the other two boys. I would go further into summary, but that would take too long. What happened to Sidney? Did he just disappear like so many other interns on this show? Monday: Surface- This show is really intriguing. Of the Lostlettes this is the actual science fiction one, and while critics hate it I think it has a long ways to go(unlike the potential ridden yet horribly awful THreshold which should be canned soon). Moment of the week *Little Nim ate the skanky girl's dog after she humiliated Miles by faking a date with him. GO NIM!* Rich is getting more weird than ever and there's a huge blip chasing Lake Bell's Character (Please people get opening credits again!). Medium- Another top 5 show. Allison is now sleep-walking, scaring everyone to death, and finds a missing boy. Little Ariel is growing up as she can now walk home from school, and faces her first crush get flattened, don't worry Ariel the little punk wasn't worth it if all he wanted was lotto numbers....hey wasn't that on Boy Meets World somewhere..... Tuesday: Gilmore Girls- Finally, this show is getting back to the quality it once held, Rory is making it quite well outside of Yale, Paris is now poor and rants about the rich pigs, which is hilarious but not quite as good as Tuesday's moment of the week *Emily dishing out some nice burns to Logan's mom after her and Richard FINALLY realize that they 'crushed that girl' as Richard put it. Go Emily tell that '2 bit gold digging whore' who's boss!!!!* Biggest Loser- With Ryan gone it looked like my Suzy was a gonner, but the girls kissed, made up and sent Suzanne packing!!! Yes, now if only Mark will go I'll be happy. Amazing Race- Everyone lay off the Weavers!! I love 'em (though not as much as the Linz) and you can't tell me that you like the Paolos over them!! Come on people. And why do the Paolos and Gaggins get soooo close to elimination and escape it!! GAh I thought I was rid of one of them. Linz and Weavers are still in the game, and I like the Brnasons as well. Close to Home- I'm so glad that Jennifer Finnigan has her own show now, though its not top notch like I feel it should be. I'm glad that we get two storylines, one following Moira? Supernatural- The Bloody Mary ep...not the best, but it did get the brothers a little closer evin if not a 'chick-flick moment' :laughs: Next weeks looks a lot better. Wednesday: Apprentice: Martha Stewart- Poor Matchstick, while I want you to lose, its just so sad to see you lose again and again by big margins. And Martha who cares if Leslie took a risk by leaving the good team for this disfunctional bunch, she was the reason they lost and should have gone home. nstead we say goodbye to Dawn, I mean we all knew she was not going to last, but she didn't deserve to be in that conference room. Lost- Yes, Rose is back. Please make her a regular producers I just love her character. We got insight on Hugo and we see where the others live, and Rose's husband is alive!! And poor Sun, burying the bottle. If she dies next I'm going to be soo pissed, in fact I hope that the rumor of a female lead being killed off isn't true at all because I love them all, and out of them it should be Shannon, but they won't take out both Boone and Shannon back to back. Veronica Mars-Catching the Saturday encore Invasion- My favorite new show of the season. Underlay is supposedly an alien(which I figured from the start) and Kiera and Jessie go to a party and Keira's love interst becomes an alien. I mean how dumb can you be 'Ohh an ornage light in the water, wonder what happens if I touch it??' Thursday: Survivor- While BJ and Danni made a dumb move, I'm so glad they did, Blake needed to go he was so superficial. And Jamie I love ya, but cut down on the gloating. Hopefully Judd or Margaret or Brandon go next. ER- UGH, please kill off Morris he's so incompetent and almost worse than Romano. Abby gets asked to sleep with another doctor for an 'experiment' to see if he can still become erect after his prostate cancer surgery....poor Abby. Sam and Luka finally prove to Eve that they can work together, adn Jerry gets struk by lightning...again, what is that five times on this show??

BBNAIE Final 2!!! God people

Yes, the all important final HOH was decided today, and I got it, although Craig gave me a big run for the money. So I took wgchief with me to the final 2, may the best man win. Man, now I'm getting the jury's questions, and did I really do THAT bad in the comps. I didn't throw them, those results were all full of integrity, and apparently bad knowledge lol.
