As the economy continues to crash I thought it would be nice for all of us to think about certain things that make us smile (I am not being too Pollyanna, I just am sick of all of the horror). So here are my things this week that have made me smile... My daughter has decided that she wants to be Wonder Woman (now there is a kick ass superhero) for Halloween. In her four years she has never seen a Wonder Woman cartoon but I mentioned that I used to play Wonder Woman (underoos anyone?) as a... Read Full Story

I was unable to watch the second part of The Biggest Loser until last night (damn the debates for messing up my television schedule). If you remember we left the families working out and getting yelled at by Jillian. In fact Jillian had just sent Amy (Purple Team) out of the gym because Amy was being sarcastic and not taking the workouts seriously. Another day and another epiphany as Amy realizes that she can not get rid of this weight alone. Amy returns to the gym where Jillian... Read Full Story

I knew that I was going to be disappointed. I knew that she (Kenley aka bitch from hell) was going to go on the Bryant Park. I remembered what everyone told me about Santino and Wendy Pepper (they sucked but made for good television) making it to the final three when others deserved it more. I had prepared myself but even preparing myself for the worst did not make the final decision of the judges any less painful last night. I was (and am) a Jerell fan; others are not (ahem you know who... Read Full Story

The above title is on EW.com and got me so excited I thought it was 1992 again. Brandon was coming back to 90210. Now I knew that there was a reason that I still Tivoed the show. However, those old crafty folks at EW then proceed in the article to give the real scoop. Brandon is not returning to the show; he is going to direct an episode. Don't get me all excited for nothing. That's just mean! I do think that Shannen Doherty is returning as is Jennie Garth. Stay tuned (I guess) to... Read Full Story

Last night on The Biggest Loser no one was sent home (that will happen tonight due to the debate) so the teams spent their time cashing in on prizes won previously or working out and complaining about something. The Red Team (Phil and Amy) had a 24 hour pass to go home and see their family. They took their three boys on a hike and contemplated the changes in their life now that the weight loss has begun. Back in LA, Amy and Shellay (Purple Team) used their prize of 24 hours with their... Read Full Story

I just read an article on EW.com that both Chuck and How I Met Your Mother are struggling in the ratings. Both of these shows are on my radar (and in my Tivo inbox) I just don't discuss them because of so many others. Some shows I just want to watch for pleasure people. Anyway, just a shout out to you all. Check out both of these shows if you are not already. Zachary Levi as Chuck is hilarious and really pulls off the goofy, James Bond thing (if that is possible) really well. As for... Read Full Story

Dear Gossip Girl/The CW: It is way to early in the season for any kind of re-runs of a fall show. For those of us who are going through a tough time with the doom and gloom of the economy and this election (yes that would be everyone) we need our guilty pleasure and Gossip Girl happens to be this pleasure. To air a re-run only 5 (or 6) weeks into a season seems ludicrous and makes us all wonder if this is going to be a monthly occurrence. As an avid viewer, and someone who had curled...

Yesterday my daughter (she's 4) told me, after getting in trouble mind you, that she wanted a new Mom. One that does not punish, that gets her whatever she wants and does not make her eat pork chops. I started thinking about this comment last night and wondered if we could order up our parents (Moms in particular) would we change anything about them? I always wanted a Mom who was supportive, loving and fun to be around. To some degree this is what I got and what I try to replicate... Read Full Story

I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I am from the Carolinas after watching the most recent episode of The Amazing Race last night. Marisa and Brooke are from South Carolina and I swear that the two girls together have not had a single coherent thought since the race began. Last night the Detour was between a pushing a boat or finding a storage container on a computer and, I am not lying to you) these girls were looking for a computer on the beach. I actually was sending brain waves... Read Full Story

I did end up watching The Ex List (not until last night) and I liked it but (always a but) I was a little turned off by the lead actress, Elizabeth Reaser as Bella Bloom. Now Joy (see her blog here) who did not like her on Gray's Anatomy would not watch the show because of her, now I see why. Ms. Reaser seems a little blunt, manly (just a little) and maybe not as cute as she thinks she is. However (always a however), the rest of the cast is absolutely adorable. The supporting players...
