Bomb Scare at Oprah’s

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Oprah Winfrey had a bomb scare earlier today at her Harpo Studios set when a strange oprah-winfrey1 looking package appeared. With this day and age there is no telling what some pyscho or strange fan is going to send. It could’ve been a bomb, dead mice, a lovely table setting, book, etc, but thankfully it was just a strange package and nothing explosive.

It wasn’t even a package like many are reporting, but a backpack that had wires coming out of it. I can see why this would’ve been a bit alarming, it was a security guard that found it early in the morning. Sounds like someone either planted it on purpose or was just walking around the studio and forgot their backpack. Now there was an explosion but it was when the bomb scare blew up the backpack to make sure it was nothing serious.

Desperate Housewives are Going to Bootcamp

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

I’m in no way saying whether or not the ladies on Desperate Housewives can do it, in fact I think at least one of them can but to place all . The drill sergeant alone is funny but watching Gabby try to do crunches was even funnier. Course Gabby can’t take the whole military thing and tries to tell the drill sgt that he is doing too much on them. He gets in her face though and yells at her to do it until she drops back down to do it. Man this looks like one I won’t want to miss. How many of you will make sure you see it?

Miley Cyrus Almost Spills at DWTS

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Oops, I guess not everything looks as graceful as one might want. Apparently when Miley Cyrus was performing last night at the Dance with the Stars she tripped. It’ll probably be bleeped out or something when it actually goes live but this would’ve been something to prove even Stars like Miley make mistakes.

ABC Yanks the Plug Out of the Wall

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

abc

ABC has announced that they are pulling the cord right out of the wall for three tv shows. Hopefully you weren’t too into them, or if you are hopefully you’ll love whatever they are planning on putting in their place. Scroll down to find out which shows and give your opinion of them pulling them. Is it a good pull or a bad one?

Officially this isn’t the announcement but those on the show are stating Steve McPherson, ABC President of Entertainment, that they were giving up. Giving up? Wow, that sounds like something you’d say at the bottom half of a ball game when it was 17 to nothing, but not a show that actually has viewers.

The list:

Pushing Daisies- Everything dead he touches comes to life, but he can also kill things that are alive if they were once dead.

Even fans are begging for NED to touch the show.

QUICK! NED, touch the show! posted by iWillhugDigby4Uned on November 22

Great Show. Sad to see it go. I would definitely pay to see the movie. They should make PD into a web series or something.

Hmm, now that’s an idea. Any clue if Pushing Daisies will become a movie? After all we have to see him finally get the love of his life and kiss her. Right?

Wednesday Night Shows

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

What’s on television tonight? Well, I’m sure we won’t have a recap of "American Idols’ Big Blunder," but there is plenty of shows to watch that’ll keep you entertained.

A new show called, "Farmer Wants a Wife" comes on tonight and it sounds somewhat interesting. It’s another reality show where you guessed it, a farmer gets to pick his wife. Only catch is he doesn’t seem to be wanting a farm girl, not when his ten hot beauties all happen to be from the city. Granted, I can see how funny this can get. I can’t wait to watch them muck the stalls or feed the pigs, or worse milk a cow. hehe. The first challenge of the night will be them trying to catch a chicken. I normally don’t watch these reality dating shows but I think I’ll watch this one tonight.

9p.m./ET on CW

Thursday Night Shows

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Ugly Betty- It’s the first of the post-writers strike and Henry’s girlfriend (ex) shows up and makes things very uncomfortable between Henry and Betty. Can ya really blame her? Plus, Betty will turn 24 tonight, so this should be good. But I doubt her surprise is.

Wednesday Night Shows

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

supernanny_228x314.jpgI think I slept through last night without watching any television shows. Well here is my pick for tonight, course I won’t be able to watch all of them so maybe some of you can and come back here to give your reviews. 6/7C ABC channel.

Top Chef- Guest Cheft Rick Bayless will get to help host the events and everything takes place at a neighborhood block party.

The Moment of Truth- It’s all about the truth, the deep, dark secrets that will tear a family apart. However this seems to be the thing everyone wants to see. 8/7C on Fox

Wife Swap- Gillete and Turners will switch families just for a little while though. One family are carnies while the other is more of a richie type. ABC

SuperNanny- What do you get when you have a wild bunch of kids and toss in a dad that is just the same? The Weinstein family meets with Jo tonight and it’s sure to be an event no one will want to miss.

Movies tonight: Parent Trap with Dennis Quiad or Three Men and a Baby with Tom Selleck on Family and Tom on TVL at 7p.m. Central Time

Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

e032202a.jpg

Everyone laughed and cheered when they saw the comical secretary on “How I Met Your Mother” last night and why not, she was funny. In “How I Met Your Mother” Britney Spears plays Abby, a smitten secretary, that is in love with Ted, problem is he only has eyes for her boss. Does this mean we might be seeing more of the ever-so-calm Britney Spears more often?

ABC Renews Shows

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

abc.jpgYesterday ABC put out a list of all the shows they were going to be renewing. Wondering if any of your favorite programs will be on the list? Or will they be cut?

SuperNanny- The one lady that can rule them all, even when you can’t. Watch this SuperNanny put together families that were once at each others throats.

Wildfire Recap

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

Wildfire

Last week on Wildfire, Jr ditched his bride at the alter of course some how it’ll come down to being Chris’ fault. But before he called it off he had to go save Chris and Wildfire when Wildfire escaped the ranch.

Chris starts the show off by riding Wildfire against Flame and of course the two really put on a show. Pablo of course is angry and storms away, letting Chris see how he feels towards her. Keep in mind he was the one that originally brought her to the ranch and she hurt him bad. It’ll take a long while for him to let him back into his good graces again.

Oprah’s Fairytale Show

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Oprah’s Big Give

I’m not an Oprah Winfrey fan, but I must admit this Sunday’s episode has me interested. Oprah is planning on giving out wads of cash and one lucky winner will get $1 Million. The segment is actually called, “Oprah’s Big Give,” each participant is given a cause or a person. Those groups must get money for a certain cause, one might be someone needing a new house, another might be a school in need of something. In total there are like ten people, from there I’m guessing she’ll take them out one by one and eventually be down to only a two people.

Scrubs in Tug-of-war

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Two companies are currently fighting over who will get Scrubs. ABC and NBC will fight tooth and nail to get this award winning tv show, which is understandable since it draws in thousands of viewers a week. NBC had been airing it but earlier this week it was announced that ABC is trying to negotiate 18 episodes with them. Could a breath of fresh air add more viewers, or would it lose the fans it currently has?

Wildfire

Oops looks like I forgot to update ya last week as well as this week, sorry about that, but not to worry I didnt’ miss either episode. First a clip for this season and I’m sure you’ll love it. When isn’t Chris having to decide what is right and wrong? Oh and of course she gets in trouble.

Naked Brothers on The View

Monday, February 18th, 2008

The View

Today I HAD to watch “The View” and not because I felt like it either. First, as I’m flipping through my 11 month old son hears some catchy tunes and starts dancing away. The band is The Laurie Berkner Band and apparently before this Emily Osment from Hannah Montana (Hannah’s BFF) was on. I just knew I couldn’t change it, and just maybe I could get a new CD for him. Once the singers got off the stage it is announced that the Naked Brothers Band will be up next on The View. Which means my two oldest, that are home from school (President’s Day) heard.

As for the gift that Emily gave everyone in the audience, they got the Hannah Montana (one in a million) CD, the DS game and the Boxed set of Hannah Montana books. This is something my 7 year old would’ve flipped for. Laurie gave everyone a bag of her music, with I could have one for my little man.

WildFire: Chris’ Return

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Wildfire

Porkchop falls on top of the vet, Noah, and he screams out in pain when Chris is deciding to leave and Danny is trying to convince her to stay. Chris tells Noah that they need to help him and he’s suppose to be off his feet for 6 weeks. He explains that he needs an assistant. Danny decides that that’ll be Chris and Chris agrees that it’ll be just until tomorrow. In the meantime Chris is actually doing vet duties, listening to the heartbeat of a horse, when Pablo walks in. After her talk with him she is ready to go as she doesn’t want to be in a place where she is not wanting, especially those that she hurt. Whether she admits it or not she still loves that family and never wants to hurt them in any way ever again.
