Category Archives: My Take on TV

It happened last night…

The Phillies/Dodgers game kept me from watching the majority of last night’s TV.  I got to watch LIFE ON MARS, THE OFFICE, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, and ELEVENTH HOUR (I watched TESTEES and KATH & KIM, too, but didn’t really want to mentio them ha).  On tap for tonight and/or this weekend are GREY’S ANATOMY, UGLY BETTY, and SURVIVOR. My thoughts on the shows that I did watch: LIFE ON MARS:  I think Jason O’Mara is brilliant.  I love him,

All My Rowdy Friends…

Time to take a little break from the work week and pass along what some of my friends are talking about this week! Kelly from Cinemablend recapped the latest episode of GREEK for us. Ducky previews Captain Hammer’s new show THE CASTLE (from ABC). My girl Kath over at Give Me My Remote implores FOX to not make the AB FAB remake that is in the works! Just Jody from Canada breaks up with THE EX LIST after one bad date. Rae

EMMY WATCH 2008: Outstanding Reality Show Competition

I’m not a big fan of reality TV.  I watch a few really well produced shows, mostly on Bravo or CBS (though I do love me some SYTYCD).  Here are the nomineeds for Reality Competition: Should Win: I think either THE AMAZING RACE (because really, how can you beat this brilliantly produced show) or TOP CHEF should take this thing. Will Win: I’m hoping AMERICAN IDOL doesn’t pull an upset.  Otherwise, we should be looking at another straight win for

EMMY WATCH 2008: Outstanding Reality Show Host

I’m still a little bitter about this category….Here are the nominees for Outstanding Host of a Reality Show – Should Win: I hope Probst wins this thing.  He really grills his contestants, from the sounds of it, he has a hand in directing, producing, you name it.  I want him to win. Will Win:  I believe I’ve been quoted as saying “If Ryan Seacrest wins, so help me God…” while shaking my right fist in the air.  Well, I have

EMMY WATCH 2008: Outstanding Supporting ACTRESS, Comedy

This is the first year where the SNL actors get put into the acting categories, versus the Individual Performance in a variety show category, and only one person managed to squeak in!  Here are the Supporting Actress nominees: Should Win: Well, I’m terribly partial to PUSHING DAISIES, so one of my votes goes to Cheno and her awesome Olive Snook.  She’s perfect in this role.  I have to cast my other votes (because you know me and my bad decision

EMMY WATCH 2008: Outstanding Supporting ACTOR, Comedy

Without everyone’s favorite sidekicks, the lead actors wouldn’t have much to bounce off of, would they?   Let’s look at the nominees! Should Win: I think Neil Patrick Harris is sublime as Barney on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.  He totally deserves this award.  I also kind of hope Kevin Dillon gets it, just to prove that it’s not the Jeremy Piven show. Will Win: I feel like the voters are just going to cast for people who have won before, so

EMMY WATCH 2008: Outstanding ACTRESS, Comedy

Time to talk about our favorite funny women.  There is no one in this group that I don’t like! Should Win: I love Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Mary-Louise Parker.  I would be happy if either of them won, but to be honest, this is the hardest to pick from category! Will Win: I think it might be Tina Fey’s year, though she’s not necessarily the funniest actress.  I could see Christina Applegate taking it, too, for her sublime work on SAMANTHA

THE CLOSER Season Finale – Your take?

I woke up a half hour early this morning, basically throwing off my whole schedule.  The good news is that I was able to watch THE CLOSER’s summer finale before heading into the office.  I think it was one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen in a while, but at the same time, it was action packed, scary, and made me a blubbering crying idiot by the last five minutes. [SPOILER ALERT – don’t click for more if you haven’t
