TV has become almost a nuisance

What can I say: The writer's strike is killing television. Unless you are a reality show fan or maybe you hate the television in general you have started noticing that some of the sit-coms have already hit re-runs and your dramas are about to hit that point to. The writer's guild is going to have to get their act together to save television.

What is going to happen to the others involved in the industry that depend on their jobs to put meals on the table? They studied or worked many years to master their art and now they are being stymied by the hell involved.

I just want resolution!!

ER

I hate the way the writers portrayed Dr. Abby Lockhart (Maua Tierney) in a position where she would put her son in a car while she was drunk and almost get into an accident before going after a Taxi instead. The fact that we have many celebs and even regular everyday people that do this is bad enough but to actually put it on television is awful.

It is not okay even to drink and drive but to put a kid in that situation is even more irresponsible on a writer's part. In a society that looks up to the television and celebrity lifestyle is bad enough writers should not knowingly write in scenes of drunk driving especially when there was no consequences for the character, Abby Lockhart. It shows that as long as you don't get caught everything is okay.

On another note: I will be so glad when Dr. Luka Kovac (Goran Visnjic) comes back next week. I really do miss him and have felt there is much missing while he has been gone.

I get most of my information from The Internet Movie Database, ER"

The Writer's Guild Strike

Come on people that head The Writer's Guild Association get your damn act together. Is it going to come down to having independent writers like myself going into writing scripts and monologues for all our tv shows and heck maybe those writers that want to be known for their work will become known just because those in the Guild cannot write as they are forced out of work because of their membership.

I do believe that late night talk show hosts need to learn how to think and write for themselves though because they are going to lose their viewing audience if they can't get back on the air soon. I would hate to see Jay Leno and even David Lettermen losing their shows just because people have decided that actually going to bed is better than staying up to catch the craziness that the writer's came up with in regards to the day's events. Why is it the hosts can't write?

VH-1's The Shot

I have to say that I really like the idea behind VH-1's newest reality show. The competition is among photographers who want to become famous and get their name and work noticed. Each on of the contestants really do need to get over a ton of hang-ups as well as treat the models and subjects as if they are humans. Dean orginally from Bosnia was the worst, in my opinion -- I would have voted him out after the first shoot and especially after his interaction with the Victoria Secret model. You know, Dean, she is human!

Piper and Ivan really need to work with other people better. Both of them got the leadership role in the two different groups on the boat just because their original photographs were better than the others. Unfortunately they have no social skills whatsoever. Ivan, simply was unable to take charge. On the other hand, Piper did not let her teammates bring anything to the table and at the end of the shoot chewed out her teammates for not listening to her. She also sounded like a parent who lost control of her children not talking to someone on her own level. Yes, I am a parent so I do know what I see when I see it.

The one person I see potential in is Robin. Airic amnd Bree have a little potential as well.

The Young and the Restless

No, Paul was not talking about Victoria but he was talking about the female prosecutor, whose name escapes me at the moment. He knows that she is his long lost daughter from a relationship from his past when he was a teenager or very young adult with a gal named April.

The prosecutor does not know the truth yet but I think that the female detective he is dating is about to convince him to reveal himself to the prosecutor. We shall see.

Private Practice

My gosh, my gosh when the hell are Pete (Tim Daly) and Addison(Kate Walsh) going to get together for real you know they love each other? I know she wants a kid real bad so the thing that the writers should do is get them together, in bed, then oops she gpot pregnant, and go from there. Pete maybe will thus change his mind about marriage once a child is involved.

I missed something last night because I was running around a whole lot so what was it the patient actually had that will kill her if reasearch did not find a cure soon? All I knew was that she was going to leave her husband because of it but Addison, Naomi(Audra McDonald) and t5he lady's own husband talk her into staying and having a baby that they first came into the clinic to find out why they could not get pregnant.


I love the show and would say it is the best new drama of the season.

The Young and the Restless

Did I hear Paul right and was he truly talking about Victoria or someone else? Is she his daughter and not Victor's? I know that anything is possible but I cannot remember who is whose anymore so that is baffling to me.

I certainly do hope they do not kill Victoria off but on soaps I can imagine them doing so because how else can they have someone haunt others except by first killing them, hehe.

Have a great Haunting Halloween everyone!

Anyone Agree? (Two-and-a-Half Men)

Does anyone agree that the series is seeming to be getting boring. It was great in the begining when the boy was young and cute and Charlie (Charlie Sheen) was horny and had a different episode and maybe even more.

Yes, I know that a man must someday grow up or at least that is the hope for the family members involved but damn him dating the same gal for several episodes is simply not Charlie at all.

Jake (Angus Jones) is now a junior high-schooler now and simply looks awkward and is really no longer half a man. For me the cuteness has worn off. Angus is very good actor but I simply think it is time for him to go and the series to end.

What can I say it was good in the hay day but that day is long gone!

The Big Bang Theory

The best new comedy of the season! I love the fact that nerds can be funny, too. There is also the fact that there is a semi reunion of the cast of Roseanne with the actors Johnny Galecki (Leonard) who was David on Roseanne and Sara Gilbert(Leslie) whom played Roseanne's middle child, D.J., and then of course in one episode Laurie Metcalf(Mary) Roseanne's sister Jackie.

Kaley Cuoco and the other cast members bring a fresh new look to the fact that nerds are people too and need friends as well. I have to say that I have always been attracted to the nerd type of person and know that they are just as loveable, if not more so, as the jock or metro-sexual.

The Bachelor

Why? Why, would Brad chose Bettina after the terrible family home date that occured. I think he shoud have picked Sheena whom he let go. Jenni and DeAnna are the other two left to go on a weekend in Cabo San Lucas next week. The Bachelor Homepage

I have to say that that is the same place in which Bret Michaels took his last two remaining girls on his bachelor show on VH-1's Rock of Love

Desperate Housewives

Last night was good although I have to say not its best episode ever. In the beginning of the episode the gay couple, bob and Lee, got a new sculpture/fountain that the housewives were not liking at all so the confronted the couple in hopes just the number of them would cause them to take it down -- that did not happen of course. The housewives therefore decided to revamp the Homeowners Association that until now was not an issue. Bob and Lee are not into doing the outside or open to being friends with their neighbors because they just want to be left alone to live their own life. The one that wants so desperately to befriend the couple is Susan and that is the one they hate the most.

The homeowners association needs a president and thus Lynette and Katherine, the newest housewife go at it and Katherine wins after campaigning hard to win the election. Her reign is tainted though by the fact that Bob and Lee know of the secret she is keeping from the rest of the Wisteria community.

And that is how it ends.

Saturday Night

I had to really look for something to watch I finally found Road Trip(2000) on TBS. I certainly am not into the World Series of Baseball and any college football. I had already found out that Mizzou won there game and to me that is all that matters since I got my graduate degree there in social work. My undergraduate school Cal State Fullerton does not have a football team so I don't have to worry about how they do and the college team where my husband teaches always loses and besides they will never be on tv anyway.

Tonight there will actually be a new Desperate Housewives, thankfully something to watch...Fridays and Saturdays are so boring for tv watching, sigh!

Friday Night was a Bore

There was absolutely nothing on the network stations. I actually turned the tv off early because reading and sleep sounded so much better than nothing. I did watch Deal or No Deal though where a a man could have won the million dollar prize if he had only stuck with his gut but he didn't and gave in to the pressure of family and friends at $236,000. As I told my husband I would have stayed in all the way after everything on the left side of the board but the one million dollars was eliminated. I feel that I have nothing to lose at that point and heck I came to play knowing that I could come out with just one hundred dollars in the end. As long as I had fun that is all that would matter to me. Of course, my husband said that he would have fainted after I did not take the $236,000 but oh well sooner or later he would have come to and realize that I ended up with more.

The next good night of television will be Sunday night when Desperate Housewives comes on.

Reality Lover

The one thing I love the most is reality television and the drama that it includes. I feed off the fact that people when placed in the same vicinity with each other manage to find a million and one things they hate about at least one of the persons they are forced to live around for a certain time period.

The reality shows I watch most frequently are: Big Brother, Amazing Race, Survivor, and The Bachelor/Bachelorette. I also watch the reality shows on VH-1, MTV, and sometimes CMT. I can't help it I just love watching the cat fights and other fights that happen among the competitors.

This blog thus will include much talk about reality tv and the dramas that happen in them. On the event that I watch something that brings up issues that I want to speak about then I will include it here. I will bring up issues brought about through the soap operas I watch which are: The Young and the Restless, Bold and the Beautiful, Another World, and Guiding Light.

The night shows I like to watch are: Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, ER, and Private Practice just to name a few that I can think of off the top of my head with my two girls ( 5 and 2) asking questions while I write this post. I also have a eleven-year-old boy but he is at a friend's house at the moment.
