Wake Up to the Best in TV Morning Shows

admin — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Whatever would life be like without our favorite television shows in the morning. It would be highly probable that millions might just sleep in. Most people who watch morning TV shows are a little addicted to them. They go hand-in-hand with coffee and bagels. Worse, if there were no AM shows, much of the world would not know what is going on. Take a poll and find out. Better yet, try not watching a show you are addicted to and see how it goes. It just would not be the same. These celebrities are like family. They are right there every morning rain or shine.

The nice thing about the television morning shows is that they do tend to wake you up. These people must get up long before the sun even thinks about breaking the horizon to look so good. All right, the makeup people probably help too. It does inspire most of us at home in our pajamas to at least get dressed. This is all good. It is good for the economy since most places of employment frown upon PJ’s at work. Even if a person stays at home, these shows inspire one to start the day.

Television the Whole Family Can Enjoy

admin — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

When you have children or teenagers in your home it is always a struggle to find programming that the entire family will enjoy. Take the time to look into different programs and it is very likely you will be surprised at both the inappropriate as well as appropriate options available. Once you spend some time familiarizing yourself with the options available you will be able to better choose something for the entire family to enjoy.

There is a variety of different networks that offer a fine selection of shows that would be appropriate for the family to enjoy.I was looking for more information and found it here. Too many of the shows aimed at teenagers today have to do with teenage mothers and pregnancies. It is important if you do think that some these programs are appropriate for family viewing with older children that you take the time to discuss what you have watched and how it affects real life.

The most important aspect of family television viewing is being sure that you provide education value as well as real life positive experience in your viewing options. If you able to help your children take something out of television viewing and allow them to apply it to real life it is a positive situation for everyone.

A Quick Catch-Up on the Real Housewives’ Series

admin — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Everyone knows how popular BRAVO’S Real Housewives franchise has grown in the last few years and in case you don’t have satellite from http://www.direct.tv/ or if you’ve somehow avoided watching, here’s a quick recap on the housewives who rule America…
Orange County: The original Housewives series, this show began as a riff on “The OC.” Only one cast member from the inaugural season remains (Vicki) and the ladies are as blonde and angry as ever.
New York: Perhaps the wealthiest of all the Housewives women, the New York ladies give the social ladder new meaning. In a city that never sleeps, these women are catty and the drama is legendary.
Beverly Hills: One of the newest Housewives spinoffs, this series is set to begin taping its second season soon and viewers are looking forward to more battles between c-list celebrities and botoxed babes.
Miami: One of the yawniest Housewives in existence, these ladies often speak in Spanish which gives one the feeling of watching Univision. The ladies are dramatic yet boring: they’re an oxymoron.
DC: Cancelled after only one season, no one watched Real Housewives of DC.
Jersey: If you came for the drama, this is your series. With poofy hair and lots of liquor, screaming matches on this show are the norm.
Atlanta: The Housewives, southern style, these ladies are all class until the fighting starts – then they take it to the streets.

Constantly driving over 120mph, he is frequently arrested for reckless endangerment.

Along with Dr. Yang, she is keeping everything about the shooting bottled up. Since Christina and Meredith can’t be honest about their feelings, Dr. Andrew Perkins (a therapist) won’t clear the women for surgery.As for the remaining love stories, Dr. Torres and Dr. Robbins are back together; in-fact, they are moving in together.

Timothy Olyphant heads FX’s newest hit

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 20:06:16 +0000

When Deadwood premiered in 2004, it represented the triumphant return of the western to television. Timothy Olyphant turned in a stunning performance as sheriff Seth Bullock for the show’s three seasons. Then, in 2006, Deadwood ended, and fans were once again left without an outlet for their outlaw urges. However, good things come to those who wait, and this March, Olyphant returned in FX’s gritty neo-western Justified.Based off of a character created by Elmore Leonard, the show’s core concept transplants a 19^th-century-style sheriff, Raylan Givens, into the modern-day U.S. Marshals Servicemetaphorically, that is. Olyphant plays Givens with a mix of menace and earnestness. This is a man prepared to do whatever he needs to in order to keep his town safea difficult task given the crime families situated in the town. Even worse, Raylan’s father has his own sense of justice, and isn’t above going outside the law to get it.The first 13-episode season won rave reviews across the board, and holds an 81 rating at Metacritic. Olyphant has a fine supporting cast, including Walton Goggins of The Shield as reformed drug-runner Boyd Crowder, Natalie Zea of Dirty Sexy Money as Raylan’s ex-wife, and long-running character actor Nick Searcy as Raylan’s boss. The show has already been renewed for a second season, so it’s a perfect chance to catch up on the episodes on iTunes (or if you were lucky enough to DVR them). And if you just can’t get enough of Olyphant, check out his other projects. He starred in the unique zombie film The Crazies, which was released in February, and is reprising the role of title role in Hitman 2. Olyphant isn’t all dark, though. Next season, he’ll play a paper salesman on two episodes of hit comedy The Office. Think Michael (Steve Carell) will be able to stand up to him? Tune in and see.

Hot new summer shows

mgeedey — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:51:08 +0000

Summer shows usually get a bad rap, since most people me that’s when the networks pull out the stuff that wasn’t good enough for the regular season. And to some extent, that’s true. But there are still some intriguing options out thereboth on basic and regular cable.

Rubicon (AMC, premieres Aug. 1): AMC has had a high success rate with original programming, previously premiering Mad Men and Breaking Bad. This new conspiracy thriller stars James Badge Dale as an intelligence analyst who begins to question his employers’ motives after a friend’s death. Other big names include showrunner Henry Bromell (producer of Homicide) and pilot director Allen Coulter (Sopranos/Sons of Anarchy).
Covert Affairs (USA, premiered July 13): USA already has a spy smash-hit with Burn Notice, and could add another with this piece of high-class fluff (and I say that in the most excited way possible). Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly) is a CIA trainee who finds herself catapulted to the lead of a case for unknown reasons. While it comes off as Alias-lite at some points, it could be a hit if it manages to avoid some of that series more pretentious pitfalls.
The Gates (ABC, premiered June 20): This supernatural drama has been getting better-than-average reviews for what could be an easy Twilight cash-in. Instead, actors Rhona Mitra and Frank Grillo bring a gravitas to this story of a suburban neighborhood with secrets, and the high-quality script doesn’t hurt either. So far, vampires, witches, and succubi have reared their heads. It might be worth sticking around to see what else could be lurking here.
Hot in Cleveland (TV Land, premiered June 16): It’s TV Land’s first scripted series, and it’s got Betty White. What more do you want? How about appearances by John Schneider, Huey Lewis, and Carl Reiner? And a script that captures the best of classic shows like The Golden Girls and Frasier? Come on, now you’re just getting greedy.

The end of LOST

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:39:29 +0000

After six long years of ups and downs, the cult inspiring ABC series LOST finally came to a close. Since finding out Jack and all of the character’s we’ve grown to love were actually dead, there has been much heated debate over the outcome of the showwas it a copout ending or a genius wrap up? Because the writers never really gave a clear description of what actually happened, viewers were forced to deduce their own conclusions. This opened the doors for endless speculation.On one side, haters of the season finale think it posed more questions than it answereda common theme throughout the whole show. Some dedicated viewers even compiled a humorous video of all the unanswered LOST questions. To make matters worse, the producers had stated in an interview during previous seasons that the island was not a purgatory. Either they lied, or many viewers got the wrong idea. What was the point of an island with mystery hatches and magical healing qualities where women can’t get pregnant if everyone was simply dead? Was the alternate life where everyone was happy supposed to be heaven? For such innovative thinkers capable of tying multiple seasons together, you’d think they could come up with a better ending than, ‘you’re dead’.On the flip side, some LOST followers absolutely loved the finale. You can’t expect writers to answer six years worth of questions about magical smoke monsters, invisible islands, alternate realities, and time travel in just 2 short hours. Given the crazy plot they invented, they did a pretty good job wrapping it all together in the end. There really was no other feasible option for an end to such a great show. Even disappointed LOST followers have to agreeall in all the show was absolutely fantastic.There are simply too many interpretations of the ending to pick a winner, and that is most likely what the writers were going for. A show that captured viewers interests by keeping them guessing has ended by staying true to its open ended style. Though the series may be over, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Locke, Hurley, Sun, and Jin will never be forgotten.
