Must See TV?
I guess the fall TV season is officially underway here in the U.S. It’s sort of hard to tell anymore, with new shows starting all year long (and I do enjoy that).
True Blood: Season Two Out with a Whimper
Once they wrapped up the Fellowship of the Sun storyline, the season meandered pretty dramatically for me. Crazy ass psycho bitch Sarah Newlin (acted to perky perfection) and dim bulb Jason just clicked and I loved the wry tone of the storyline. The maenad, not so much. Generally speaking, nice people acting mean isn’t a…
The Vicar of Dibley
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-wwbO4LUMY I used to watch a lot of sitcoms, but haven’t been a regular viewer of any for years. Recently, however, I happened on The Vicar of Dibley, and am now completely hooked on this hilarious show. My PBS channel is currently showing episodes from 1999. Since the show didn’t end until 2007, I have…
Reality TV Update
It was a big week for reality TV fans like me, with, for the most part, a lot of good things happening. I was very happy that Rick Bayless won Top Chef Masters, but was disappointed that Hubert Keller finished in third place. The finale was enjoyable, with the finalists being challenged to create a…
Cooking Competition Shows
Following up on Sandy’s summer TV theme, this summer I’ve watched several different cooking competition shows, and have enjoyed them in varying amounts. Top Chef Masters.This is an interesting variation on Bravo’s regular Top Chef. Instead of aspiring chefs, this features famous chefs squaring off against each other. Now we’re talking James Beard winners, owners…
And It's TV Time!
After the madness and nonstop action of RWA, it’s veg out time for me! Good thing a few of my favorite TV series (and guilty pleasures) are providing some excellent fodder for down time! Could there have been a better time for Toddlers & Tiaras to make a reappearance? Surely not, sister. I love pursing…
So You Think You Can Dance: Shocked?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjT-PH8SKNk I’ve so enjoyed this season of SYTYCD. I continue to believe that this season’s top 20 and top 10 are the best yet. In fact,the quality is so evenly dispersed, that it took me a really long time to pick a favorite. But, this week, I finally settled on Janette as my favorite dancer….
So You Think You Can Dance Update
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_TFSBqSfGM This season of So You Think You Can Dance continues to be a real pleasure to watch. This week we were down to the top ten dancers, and without a doubt, they’re my favorite top ten. I wasn’t surprised to see Randi and Kupono eliminated last night. While I’ve enjoyed many of their performances…
Real Housewives of New Jersey: What Did Danielle Do?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G_EfwvmNfw Obviously Bravo knows they have a good thing, as they’ve now milked The Real Housewives of New Jersey for two reunion shows. And of course, I was totally sucked in to both of them. While the reunions weren’t as dramatic as the big blow-up at the final dinner, there was some drama. But what…
Summer Reality TV Update
I hated Bravo’s The Fashion Show before I ever saw the first episode. Why? Because it wasn’t my beloved Project Runway. I wasn’t prepared to like, or even tolerate, any substitute for Project Runway on its original network. In fact, I wasn’t even going to watch.
