Retro - Everything Old is New Again

It seems that the latest trend in Hollywood is to just do what they did 20, 30 or 40 years ago. Who are these remakes for? Older people who remember the originals are never going to think that these remakes measure up, and how many younger people can relate to these topics? Like the new 90210 that’s...

Nancy Botwin aka Don Juan

I had to watch the season premiere of Weeds last night as it is one of my all time favorite shows. Ms. Nancy Botwin is as slick as a snake dipped in fish grease! I was so mad at the end of last season, when Celia snitched! There was no reason for it. They didn’t even have anything on Celia. The... Sign in to see full entry.

How Old is to Old?

“The last thing I want to think about is old people gettin it on,” I thought as I fast forwarded through a scene in the Young and the Restless, featuring two senior citizens skinny dipping in the pool. It seems like Gloria has been getting a lot of action, jumping between William and Alester, none... Sign in to see full entry.

Women’s Murder Club: Killed After 1 Season.

I’m not sure how many of you knew this but WMC is one of many shows not returning for a second season. I’m not surprised. I watched a couple of episodes in the beginning, because I like murder mystery shows like L&O and such, and also because I’m a huge James Patterson fan. I’ve read several Alex...

In Plain Sight: Should go back into hiding

I watched the season premier of this show and it was terrible. I was so disappointed because USA usually has pretty good original programs. But this was a far cry from their other successes. My main beef with this program is that it isn’t funny at all, though they tried. USA’s slogan is characters... Sign in to see full entry.

Lost: Indeed I am

So I just got to watch the season finale of Lost last night. Thanks to my Sex and the City Marathon this weekend, I’m a little behind. Why is it that I’ve been watching Lost since it started and still after every episode, that’s just what I am, Lost! You can’t deny that there is no other show like... Sign in to see full entry.

BARACK!

I just had to express my joy and excitement that Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee for president. It is truely a historical moment in our nation's history and I'm glad to be alive to witness it. I and I'm sure many Americans will remember what they were doing and where they were when they first... Sign in to see full entry.

The show is called Sensitive Skin, and it is an adaptation of the British show of the same name. Cattrall will play a middle aged wife and mother who has a... Sign in to see full entry.

Sex and the City: F#cking Fabulous!

Sex and the City was the must see of the weekend, for any and every women in America. I saw it twice, once on Friday night with my friends, and then again on Saturday with my mom. I thought it was f#cking fabulous, everything I had hoped for and more. After 4 years of reruns, I finally got to see my... Sign in to see full entry.

Scrubs will be back!

I can breathe a sigh of relief now that I know that the atrocity that was on NBC a few weeks ago was not the Scrubs finale. Hallelujah! Scrubs will be back next year (2009) with new episodes. Not on NBC, but ABC. Is something like this unprecedented? Certainly for the big three. I’ve heard of shows... Sign in to see full entry.
