I settled into bed last night to watch Grey’s Anatomy (not knowing it was a repeat) and was in for a huge surpise. Dish Network is not carrying ABC right now because of some dispute about charges! It was a huge surprise to me and I would have been really angry if it would have been a new episode of Grey’s. But I did realize something–that is the only show we watch on that channel. So it wouldn’t be the end of the world if we didn’t have it for awhile–only when new episodes of Grey would be on!

I really used to like watching “The Girls Next Door” on E–you know, Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends. But ever since Holly and Kendra have come out and stated that they are no longer with Hef, I feel cheated. I feel like someone is lying to me. Stupid production schedule took too long and Holly and Kendra didn’t want to keep it a secret any longer. So now when I watch, I am looking for the signs. Sunday’s episode showed Holly showing Hef a picture of the twins (which he is now dating). That’s just wrong. But, yet I still keep watching. I guess I am a glutton for punishment!

I watch a lot of crap on television, but I would not chose to watch The Pick-Up Artist on VH1. Unfortunely, to annoy me, my husband decided to watch it today. My issue with this show is the teacher, Mystery. I wikipedia’d him and it turns out he was a magician/illusionist which doesn’t suprise me. I really hate Mystery’s view of woman. He doesn’t treat them as woman, he treats them as targets. He teaches tricks and lines and I think that’s underhanded. Andy thinks Mystery is only after digits and nothing more. He thinks he seems ambivilent to the opposite sex and doesn’t think he will have to be shopping for crib bedding anytime soon. I want to see him teach the men confidence, while not trying to undermine woman. It seems like he is trying to trick women, lie to women, or even just trying to score.

I love the DVR. I recorded the series premiere of the new show “Fringe” and finally watched it last week. I am upset with myself because I did not set it up to tape all new episodes. The show is about “fringe” science, telekensis, invisibility, dream-walking, etc. The only person I know in the show is Joshua Jackson–Pacey from Dawson’s creek, but the rest of the newcomer’s are actually really good actors. The first episode starts with a turbulant flight where a guy freaks out and starts running down the aisle. The stewardess runs after him and when the guy turns around, you see he needs more than a facial acne treatment, his face is literally melting off. Basically, it affects the whole plane and everyone dies. Its an intriguing show, so I hope it stays on for awhile.

I really cannot wait until after the election. I was searching for something to watch tonight and did not have many choices. I turned on Hole in the Wall for 2 minutes and decided that its not that good of a show. In about 45 minutes though, all that is going to be on is the vice presidental debate. I am not going to watch, I already know who I am going to vote for. I do not have to listen to debates about the stock market, ecommerce merchant accounts, the war, etc. I would rather watch Grey’s Anatomy! I want to see why the hospital has a water issue.

I do have to admit, I like Paris Hilton’s “Stars are Blind” song, but only because when i first heard it, I didn’t know who was singing it. She just realeased a new single called My BFF to go along with her new MTV series “Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.” I think this show is going to bring out the crazies, you the ones who drive cross country in adult diapers to kidnap people or just those strange girls that you would not really think would be interested in Paris Hilton or a guy. I am pretty sure I am not going to waste my time with that show. I’m too busy watching 90210!

You gotta love DVR–being able to watch shows whenever we can. Tonight we watched last night’s episode of How I Met Your Mother. This episode was all about Marshall trying to find the perfect hamburger that he had when he had first moved to New York City. I do not know if I am just that suseptible to being influnenced by TV, but instead of digging out one of our casserole recipes for supper, I wanted a burger really bad with a pickle on the side. There have been better episodes of the show, but it’s nice to have a random show about nothing. Not too much thinking, and that is what I like.

With 90210 being remade and ER ending this year, comebacks are being discussed a lot for these shows. But for the stars that the show made them famous, most are not showing the love and returning even for just an episode. I have read stuff that Luke Perry and Jason Priestly have said, and basically, it seems like they are better than 90210. Hmmm, they both have gone so far since the show has ended. George Clooney has no plans returning to ER, which skyrocketed his movie career. Anthony Edwards–whose character died on the show–is slated to come back for the finale. To me, you need to pay respect to where you came from, and these stars are just being obnoxious. That is, if I believe what I read.

It’s a typical Sunday morning of me going through the ads while flipping through the channels for some backround music and I came across “The Goonies.” This is a classic movie that, yes, I do have DVD, but it’s such a great movie. This is one of the first movies I remember seeing in the theater–man that kind of dates me, doesn’t it? I know when we have kids, we are going to have them watch this movie. I just hope they understand the lack of unlocked cell phones to call for help with, the lack of computers, etc. One of my coworkers told me that she is starting on all the classics for her 8 year old daughter. She’s waiting a few years for Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, the Breakfast Club, but those are on her lists. Those are on my list too, along with my husband’s favorite movie ever–The Princess Bride.

Have you heard New Kids on the Block’s new song–”Single”? The song is really, really strange to listen to because they are singing about wanting to be a girl’s boyfriend. Ten years ago, that would have been okay. I will be the first to admit, I used to love the New Kids, especially Jordan ( I have the action figure/doll. It was nice having a male in my sea of Barbies). But now, don’t they all have wives and kids? That just makes it strange. I really want to know what the younget generation really thinks of them, not being exposed to them the first time around.
