-Top 10 Most Anticipated TV Show Pilot Premiere's according to Trendrr:
 1. ONCE UPON A TIME (ABC) This shocks me, but okay...let's see how it plays out...
 2. THE PLAYBOY CLUB (NBC) I enjoyed the pilot, Eddie Cibrian is very cute...not in the
Tivo at this point though  3. REVENGE (ABC) Not my genre, but the pilot was decent 
4. CHARLIES ANGELS (ABC) I admit I did like the pilot, but again didn't get the Season
Pass from me  5. THE SECRET CIRCLE (CW) I already set the Season Pass for this one 
6. WHITNEY(NBC) Pilot was pretty funny...didn't Season Pass it but planning on
watching it  7. PAN AM(ABC) I really liked the pilot and will check it out, but I didn't
Season Pass it  8. NEW GIRL (FOX) cute, but didn't earn the Season Pass  9.
SUBURGATORY (ABC) Didn't love the pilot, but Jeremy Sisto is in it and they just
added Jay Mohr...so SEASON PASS!
10. RINGER (CW) Loved the pilot...Season Pass


-BIG BROTHER was awesome last night, lots of crying from shiny whiny, but she is still
in the game...as much as I was sad to see Jordan go, she didn't deserve to win, so I
was fine with it. I really am concerned that if Adam does win, his yelling will escalate to
even higher or lower decibels and I won't be able to hear the finale.  Not sure why he
decided to keep Rachel who he won't win against vs Jordan who he could have actually
beaten, but I am not complaining at all.  Only one night of BIG BROTHER left.  I am
sure all of you can't wait.


-For the first time in a while, there is a new show I am really excited about...of course
it doesn't even have a name yet, for now it is call the "UNTITLED AARON SORKIN
PROJECT".  It sounds great already...A) it is going to be on HBO, B) It will be produced
and written by Aaron Sorkin, C) Cast includes Jeff Daniels-who was in a ton of things
but I love him most for DUMB & DUMBER, Emily Mortimer-amazing actress, I loved her
in MATCH POINT and CITY ISLAND** Alison Pill-she has been in a ton of movies and
you will definitely recognize her when you see her, I love her from SCOTT PILGRIM VS
THE WORLD, Olivia Munn-from GREEK and PERFECT COUPLES and tabloid magazines, 
Dev Patel-from SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, and Sam Waterston from LAW &
ORDER...how could this show be bad?


-Never watched it and I know it's one of those I should have, but years ago when I
went to the EMMY'S, Denis Leary was a nasty you know what to me, so I have never
watched RESCUE ME...sorry Denis...but anyway, the series finale on Wednesday was
seen by 2.3 million total viewers and 1.3 million with A18-49.  During its seventh and
final season, Rescue Me averaged nearly 1.5 million total viewers which is +10% better
than the previous sixth season.


- On Tuesday, Bravo aired the season finale of FLIPPING OUT which delivered its best-
rated episode in the series' history and also the season premiere of THE RACHEL ZOE
PROJECT which scored its highest-rated season debut ever.  The season five finale of
FLIPPING OUT was seen by me and  1.76 million other total viewers and 1.14 million
among A18-49.  The RACHEL ZOE PROJECT season premiere delivered 1.26 million
total viewers and 801,000 with A18-49. 


-Reminder that this Sunday is the season finale of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM and the
series finale (thank god) of ENTOURAGE.  Set your DVR's, there will also be FOOTBALL
on Sunday and my NY JETS are playing in the Sunday night game.  Also pending
weather will be the Men's Finals for the US Open, so Sunday will be a big night!


-Next week is a big week for all of us TVholics...premieres really get underway.  I will
be checking out RINGER, PARENTHOOD, SURVIVOR, UP ALL NIGHT, FREE AGENTS,
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES & THE SECRET CIRCLE.  Can't wait!!!
-Sunday we will also commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.  I can't
believe it has been 10 years. My heart still feels heavy when I think of how everything
changed for all of us that day, but even heavier for those who lost family and friends. 
Be safe this weekend and Mayor Bloomberg has asked all of us New Yorkers (I know I
live in NJ, but I consider myself a New Yorker too) if you see something say something.


-WWTM's Weekend Movie Suggestion: CITY ISLAND.  I loved this movie so much, that I
went on to the writer/director's Facebook page and wrote him a message and HE
ACTUALLY RESPONDED! 
 
-Friday's Trivia Question:  When I read that yesterday was Jonathan Taylor Thomas's
30th birthday, it really shocked me and made me feel SO old...what TV show did he
star in?
