TV viewing updates

Happy Friday!!!
After waiting all summer for the fall shows to return they are finally here! I calendared all of the dates and times so I wouldn't miss a show. I sat down all excited to watch Parenthood because I wasn't sure that show was coming back and then WAM they bring cancer into the story line. :(  I really don't need sad story lines to follow...life has enough of that!

Then there is Grays Anatomy last night...another tear jerker! I guess I could go tune into Honey Boo Boo but it was hard enough to sit thru 10 minutes of that show. I felt like I should run to the phone and call child protective services.

My faithful stand by is my reality tv fix...real housewives of...fill in the blank. The drama on NJ and NY seasons have had Vic and I cracking up..and thinking our lives are pretty dull if this is any indication of how people live.

Even football has had some drama this season. Luckily that is about to end now that footlocker has taken its employees back off the field. Go Cowboys! :)

What are you watching or looking forward to watching? I can't wait for Revenge to come back on...I think that show is brilliant.  We watched "Last Resort" last night and it was pretty action packed but I'm not sure how they will make a full season out of it, looked more like a movie.

If you have not checked out Person of Interest yet go do so. We caught re-runs a few months ago and have been hooked. Love that show!

Another show if you have Starz Channel is BOSS with Kelsie Grammar...not my favorite actor but he's excellent in the show. He plays the corrupt mayor of Chicago.

Tell me what you think of these shows!

Reality TV Summer Update 2012

A quick update on what reality shows are catching my attention and some random thoughts.

Sister Wives: I'm so ready for them all to build a big house and be under the same roof again already. I feel for the kids and think the parents have been very selfish in this move. I'm ready for Cody to get a hair cut..I'd like the show better without him. Go Figure lol

Kendra On Top: Ive only caught a few episodes (maybe there have only been a couple?) I think she used to be cute and dumb. Now I just think she's a bitch and arrogance doesn't look good on her. Baby Hank is adorable thou! I could just eat him up!! The last episode I saw was when Hef came to visit in the helicopter. He looks soooooo old. I wonder about his two girlfriends that he brought..I'd bet they were his nurses.

Real Housewives of NY: I'm enjoying the new ladies on the show. Each has their own little quirkiness. I miss the old days with Bethenny and Jill but I'll still watch. I don't miss the one that had the gay husband..what was her  name? They had the annoying little boys...Alex, That's it..Thanks Vic! :)

Real Housewives of the NJ , I love when Rosie is on! I was on team Melissa all the way even though I really feel sorry for Theresa because of her bone head husband but then I read Theresa's blog yesterday and I can see how alot of it may be true and now I even feel more bad for her..but I'm not totally anti Melissa, I love her and Joe they crack me up. I think Theresa is going to have her hands full with that bratty daughter Gia..Ms Crazy Eyes.

Real Housewives of OC, I loved the girls trip to Costa Rica. Poor fake Alexiis got attacked by the girls. I doubt any of it will make a difference thou. Hey at least she's beautiful..that will get her pretty far in CA

Mrs. Eastwood and Co. Vic likes this show so we watch it but it hasnt really caught my attention yet. I'll play on the computer and listen to it but rarely see a full episode. Not enough drama I guess lol

Kardashions: yep..I watch. I love the show and everything Kardashion except Kims latest beau...she could do so much better (or maybe I'd just like to believe that) I think with Kayne she will be with yet another guy that she has to constantly make apologies for his behavior.

So what are you watching? Agree with my take on these shows or not?

Reality Recap

Sister Wives

The last one I watched (which I think was the season finale but could be wrong) They packed up and moved to Las Vegas to avoid the law.So does this make them fugitives? Do any charges and investigations get dropped just becasue they moved? I'm confused and feel like I've missed some important shows explaining what is happening.
I couldnt help but laugh when Cody kept asking for a sign from God on if they were doing the right thing..I'd think three flat tires would have been a HUGE sign but that is just me.ha!

Something about the last few shows I watched made me feel like it was a little more staged and not genuine. Anyone else picking up that vibe?

Ok next show..The Real Housewives of NJ (BravoTV)
What kind of families act this way?! When there were near fist fights going on at the christening no one seemed too concerened about the children being right there! When questioned about it later , Theresa got very upset saying her children were not around , when the footage of the night puts Gia right there holding onto her mom trying to get her to walk away.
This show has become a train wreck to me that I just can't turn away from.
Much like RHONY...ramonacoaster!

My third and final recap this week is for a new show to me..Spouse Vs House..If you've never seen it the idea is that a husband and wife are planning a remodel. They are given a certain dollar amount and plan on several rooms to re do. The last one I saw they were given $25,000 to re model the kitchen, living room and either garage or master bedoom. The twist is that the wife is taken away for three weeks and the husband has to do it himself with no imput from the wife. You can already see all that could go wrong, right?
It was no surprise to me that the husband in the show I watched this week choose to redo his garage instead of making a beautiful master bedroom for his wife. And when they went back several weeks later the garage looked just like it did before he spent thousands of dollars drywalling and painting it. His saving grace was that the kitchen was everything she wanted it to be and looked awesome. I would be a little worried if I was the wife on some of these episodes!

TV recap time..




This week I am adding my favorite soap to the mix. (Yes I know it’s not a reality show…just spicing up the mix)



All My Children:
 It has been so good lately. I don’t know who your favorites are, mine tend to change with the story line. I can’t say that I am upset that Erica is gone for a while. She has her travel blog thingy but I have not even bothered to go look at it, even thou I love the idea of soap characters having blogs!

I am loving the Annie/Jr Scott/Marissa mess. It’s sometimes hard to watch because I think JR and Marissa are not very good actors but Annie and Scott make up for it. I think with Annie finding out that Scott slept with Marissa her and JR will hook up but it won’t last.

I’m secretly hoping that Madison goes a little crazy again and goes after Greenly but I don’t know if they will do that since Annie did the same thing not too very long ago.

I can’t stand David, but in a love him/hate him way. I can’t imagine the show without him so it’s not a “wish he would get killed off” way but a “can’t stand that he is blackmailing my favorite girl” kinda way. I like it when I can’t wait to see the next show and it’s been that way for a week or so for me now.



Final Episode of Housewives of New Jersey:

That little girl Ashley needs to grow up! I do not like anything Danielle does or says either but there such a thing as right and wrong and pulling someones hair out of their head is wrong. I wonder what Ashley would do if the tables were turned.

I was hoping that Danielle would have agreed to Carolines truce meeting but of course calling her garbage again didn’t help that situation. I’ve heard that she (Danielle) isn’t going to be on the show anymore…I am happy about this but hope that it isn’t because they are giving her her own show.

I’m glad they are back from Italy. Teresa and her rude little monster children were driving me crazy.



Big Brother:

It has not been as exciting without Rachel there but Brittany is more fun to watch. Last we saw she put up Enzo and Branden. It must be strange for her being the only girl in the house. Well that is if you don’t count Ragan. Ha! I saw Kristen put up the hippie tard and wig on ebay this week. Last I looked it was up to $127 and had something like 27 bids! Wow.



Real Housewives of DC:

I don’t know about ya’ll but it is not really keeing my interest. I am not crazy about the housewives. Maybe it’s just because we have not gotten to know them yet. It took me a long time to warm up to the NY ones too. I can’t wait for the Atlanta women to start again..Oct 4th I think is the first episode.






That about does it for now. What are YOU watching?

Reality Recap

So I've been in reality tv overload! Let me share...

Big Brother...

I am so sick of Rachael that it is not even funny. My DVR cut off half of Sundays show and I didn't even care. Once I saw that she was HOH again this week I was ready to take the week off.

Real Housewives of NJ...

This week Theresa has her baby christened. I can only imagine what that cost! Way over the top..as in the gay wedding on Sex in The City 2, over the top! It would not have surprised me if Liza popped out and started singing. As much as I love that show I am ready for Danielle to go. Have not heard if she will be cast off or not..but Kim G is not a favorite of mine either. I hear that Theresa went on the View this week and they were mean to her..shocker.

RuPauls Drag U

I'm really trying to like this show but straight women just don't bring the drama that the drag queens do. It will do in a pinch thou and I have enjoyed the two episodes I've seen so far.

Work of Art..

I love this show and always feel like getting out my paint brushes or art supplies after it's over. I think Miles is brilliant and can't stand the chick that keeps doing nude shots. She's got a great body but I don't see the "art" in it. Miles is kind of like Adam Lambert on Idol two years ago...so above all the other talent.

I missed the Kardashians in Miami this week but the ones I have been seeing make me want to just smack the crap out of Scott. Grow the hell up!

My surprise show that I have fallen in love with is Bethenys getting married?
She was NOT my favorite NY housewife but I just love her show and that new baby is adorable. I think she picked the perfect guy for her and I love watching her with him. They compliment each other nicely.

This month brings back some of my old favorites Flipping Out and something else that escapes me right now.
Housewives of DC starts Thursday..not sure If get totally engrossed in that or not..oh who am I kidding...I will!

I tried to follow Hollys show but she wasnt my favorite Girl Next Door and those tube socks drive me crazy.

That's about it for now..What Reality shows do you watch?
