My Summer Shows

Now that the summers shows are back in swing, here are the ones I am watching this summer.

I LOVE these shows! I have seen just about every single one. I stopped watching Real World because its not "real world" anymore. These one is gonna be awesome! Imagine being paired up with your worst enemy and having to work as a team. CT is back! I love him...I am rooting for him, so far so good. He didnt get in any fights yet. 

I do love Dr. Drew! I have a special interest in addiction, maybe its because its genetic in my family, not sure. My thoughts on the season so far - Michael Lohan (BLAH!) get over yourself. I LOVE Steven Adler, I LOVE Guns and Roses - but sadly I think he may be the next Jeff Conaway, lets hope not!

Rescue Me starts back up July 13th!!! Finaly season :(  From the commercials it looks like the best one yet. Michael got me HOOKED into this show. I am so sad its ending. 

Michael and I are both looking forward to watching the train wreck that is Amber and to see the cutest little boy Bently. Yes, we are hooked on all the Teen Moms and 16 and Pregnant. You are too dont lie!

Yes, this show is HORRIBLE, but I am hooked! Its a giant soap opera now. It began as a good message to kids, but has moved into the unbelievable world. But some of the actors have been given some good story lines and deep issues now.

I heard Hells Kitchen is starting back up soon, in the mean time Master Chef is entertaining us. Michael and I love Gordon Ramsey and all his shows. I hope another awesome chef wins Master Chef. Last summer a sweet southern girl from Mississippi won, i was rooting for her the whole time. 

 This show has always been awesome. I figured out a way to get Michael to watch wedding shows/movies (he actually watch Father of the Bride!) was to plan a wedding. Now he also watches the awesomeness that is Bridezillas.

What is sucking all your time this summer?

The Duggars

I was inspired to blog about the Duggar family today thanks to Olivia at Her Noble Character. Her blog is very interesting, check it out. 

Most know the Duggar family as the crazy family with way to many kids. I see them as a loving family who happens to have 19 kids. Whats wrong with that? Most people I know think they are crazy. Here are my thoughts on the Duggar family. 

• Michelle and Jim Bob obviously have a very strong marriage. They have 19 kids and still find time for each other. A lot of parents with only 2 kids can barely say that. 
• They are debt free and very self reliant. If you watch the show, they have made money thanks to small business ventures.
• They are 19 very well behaved kids. Not many parents can say that.
• Michelle home schools all of the kids (not my cup of tea) but good for her! 
• Both parents are so hand on, its great. 
• I come from a big family (lots of cousins) and love it. I am glad that they get to experience that. 

Now I have no intentions of having 19 kids, but I can understand their reasoning and will continue to stand up for them. I really want to pick up this book, looks really interesting. 

Don't Do it CBS!

Most view this man as either a genius (say what!) or a crazy guy (ding ding!). I am over all the Winning and DUH comments. It really is a sad train wreck to watch. Now it seems Charlie Sheen is putting foot into mouth. After nonstop bashing on his former CBS bosses and coworkers he is now saying he wants to come back. My guess...he needs some cash. I REALLY hope CBS says NO WAY! I have never heard of someone being fired then hired again. 

Stand your ground CBS, he needs to hit rock bottom. 

The only person coming out of this looking good - Denise Richards, I bet she is sitting back saying I TOLD YOU SO! 

duets

Last night Michael and I were flipping back and forth between the American of Country Music Award show and Celebrity Apprentice. I am glad we were able to catch the great duet of Carrie Underwood and Steven Tyler! I am a Aerosmith and Steven Tyler fan. Who doesnt love that voice! In case you missed it check it out -

Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Here is my weekend recap.


Friday - got out of work early thanks to spring break traffic, still took me an hour and a half to get home! Thanks Atlanta traffic! Watched "Law Abiding Citizen" I will post a review of the movie soon.

Saturday - slept in (which is always nice), had some lunch at Chick-Fil-A (yumm! but I ate well, no fries and had a wrap), went to my co-ed softball teams practice (got a nice sunglasses farmers tan on my face!), went grocery shopping, cooked dinner, relaxed and tried to watch a movie but we couldn't agree on one.

Sunday - went to yet another softball practice first thing in the morning. Did some cleaning and relaxing. Watched Celebrity Apprentice, cooked some homemade dog treats (I will post about that soon) and some toffee bars (yum!).

Pretty boring weekend! How about you?

say buh bye

Is your favorite show going to be cancelled?

- poor FX has not been able to create a decent show in a long time. The only thing they have still going for them is Rescue Me and this coming season is rumored to be the last (tear!) Lights Out has officially gotten the ax.

- Have you seen or even heard of Perfect Couples? Yeah, exactly why it was pulled almost right away. I saw a handful of commercials, but that was it.  It has already been pulled. A new sitcom reminding me of the ones from the 80's and 90's is going to take its place starting in April. The Paul Resier Show. Remember the husband from Mad About You (who didnt love that show!) thats him! From the commercials it looks pretty funny. I will give it a shot, but then again I will give almost any show a shot. I want this show to work, but not a lot of sitcoms last nowadays.

- Do you also loving cooking shows like me? I started watching Americas Next Great Restaurant, kinda boring. I am not surprised this is falling in the ratings.

I always end up getting sucked into shows that get pulled. Anyone remember October Road or the Brittany Snow show set in the 60's? Yeah, I was sucked in when they were pulled mid season. Now all my favorite shows are ending, Rescue Me, Big Love and Friday Night Lights.

What are your favorite TV shows? Any been pulled you feel unfairly?

top Chef finale tonight!

I LOVE Top Chef. I have been sucked in for a couple seasons now. Tonight is the finale of Top Chef All Stars. If you have not seen it, they brought back contestants that got close but did not win their seasons. It has come down to Richard Blaise (gooo Richard!) and Mike Isabella.

Richard is from Atlanta and is a cooking genius. He uses a lot of dry ice and different odd methods of cooking. He is who I am rooting for now that Carla is gone (so sad!). Richard got 2nd place on his season and is looking for redemption and has been kicking ass and taking names this season.

Mike Isabella is up the northeast and kind of an arrogant guy. He is doing MUCH better then and would deserve to win.

Don't miss it tonight, 10 PM on Bravo! I know I will be watching and rooting on Richard!

What do you watch?

Does anyone else live off their DVR? What did we do before DVR? If you are like my stepdad you tape shows on a VHS tape (yes, he STILL does!) My fiance and I have several (and i do mean several) shows that we have scheduled for taping during the week. Here is my break down of what I watch.

Monday - We use to watch the whole CBS line up, but they are not that funny anymore so we don't record them. If we are home, we will watch them, if not no big deal.

Tuesday - I LOOOVE One Tree Hill (even though they are now stretching), I got sucked into The Biggest Loser this season and yes I teared up this week. And I have been sucked into Teen Mom since the beginning.

Wednesday - Its all about Top Chef! 

Sunday - We both like Celebrity Apprentice and I am hooked on Army Wives. 

I am excited for these shows to come back - 

What do you watch???

my favorite show has ended

Its official...Big Love is off the air. And it breaks my heart, the show could of kept going. I only have a handful of friends who watched it, but I thought it was amazing and ground breaking! I know the show hit on a touchy subject, but I think it did a good job.

In case you have not seen the show it is about the Hendrickson family who included husband Bill and his wives Barbara, Nicki, and Margene. Bill owns a chain of Home Depotish stores, he grew up on a polygamist compound and was kicked out as a teenager. Barbara is Bill's first wife. They were not always polygamists. Barb is the kind, mothering wife. When they agreed to become polygamists Bill married Nicki, the daughter of the "prophet" from the compound they grew up on. Nicki has a hard time letting go of the compound she grew up on and her dangerous family. Margene is the third wife. She was the family baby-sitter. She is younger, but more fun and relaxed then the other two wives.

Yes, it was about a polygamist family living in the suburbs. The show followed the family and how they tried to live normal suburban lives while dealing with hiding themselves and dealing with their extended families. I recommend renting them on Netflix. There were MANY twists and turns in the 5 seasons the show was on the air.

Yes, it does cover the touchy subject of polygamy and the Mormon religion. I personally think the show did a good job not stepping on toes. The show was not glorifying plural marriage or close minded. They were not saying all Mormon's are polygamists. Instead I feel like it opened my mind. I would not want to be in a plural marriage, but if other people willing do, who cares! Who are they hurting?

Again, I HIGHLY recommend the show.

Niki Taylor got fired while keeping her reputation

I have mentioned before my love for "reality tv" well right now one of my favorite shows is "Celebrity Apprentice" (who doesn't love the Donald!).

Last nights episode Gary Busey was the mens project manger and they won! (say what?! yup i know!) I can see why they did (Gary needs to thank everyone but Jose). Since the women lost (because they are quite stupid this year) Niki Taylor took the blame (she was the project manager), she wouldn't bring back anyone to the boardroom and was fired. BUT I think she handled herself with class. She lost, but not for lack of trying. She refused to cat fight, argue or look stupid (like Star Jones or Dionne Warwick). She may not have won the show, but she has kept her reputation. And I say GOOD FOR HER!

I am excited for next week! Go Meat Loaf and Jon Rich!

Teen Mom

Who doesn't watch the MTV sensation that has become Teen Mom. I have watch every episode of every girl on 16 and Pregnant and now crazy in love with Teen Mom, event got Michael hooked :) but shhh...

But this season the girls are driving me CRAZY! I just want to smack 3 out of 4 of them. Who would of thought that Leah would be the one with a head on her shoulders. I feel like I relate more to these girls, I see them making some of the same stupid 18 year old mistakes I made, but I didnt have a baby in tow.

Chelsea needs to get rid of that jerk Adam. I am waiting for her dad to beat the crap out of him because I know my stepdad would of. 

Jenelle just needs to get her act together. Which I know she has not really, I follow her Twitter (I know...I know...) and she chats with Dr. Drew (hero of mine, but that cannot be a good sign) and she was recently arrested on drug charges (oops).

Kailyn - poor girls needs some parents! Her mom is such a flake, I feel bad. I can see where she is coming from but she doesnt handle it well and hell she is only 18. 

Leah - love her! Love those babies of hers, soo adorable. 

I cannot wait for another season of the original girls to come back, but this is keeping me entertained for now. 

Celebrity Apprentice is back!

Michael got me HOOKED on Celebrity Apprentice last season and I rooted for Bret Michaels all the way to the end. The new season premiered last night in all its crazy Donald Trump glory.

The cast is interesting -
Gary Busey
Meatloaf
David Cassidy
Mark McGrath
Jose Canseco
Dionne Warwick
Richard Hatch
NeNe Leaks
Marlee Matlin
LaToya Jackson
Hope Dworaczyk
Lisa Rinna
Niki Taylor
Lil John
Star Jones
John Rich

I am rooting for John Rich, Meatloaf and Marlee Matlin. Watching last night I realized the big players are going to be Richard Hatch (makes sense, but he is a jerk), Jose Canseco (fyi he looks like a GIANT), and John Rich (pulled in BIG $$).

I hope Star Jones and Ne Ne Leaks go quick, they annoy me! And well its def going to be interesting with Gary Busey.

I will keep watching and I hope you get sucked into the trashyness as well!
