Last night was a big sports night,
the NFL Draft and the Rangers big win and I watched none of it…too busy
watching one of the best nights of TV in a long time…
-Strange choice for a co-host as
Mathew Broderick gave it a shot on LIVE
WITH KELLY. Of course I love Ferris
and some of Mathews’ other great movie roles, but I have always pictured him
and SJP and their kids to be the NY academic types…you know…no TV, lots and
lots of books about things like Abraham Lincoln and the history of the bell
bottom and for some reason I just assume Mathew reads in a wing back chair while
smoking a pipe. So I don’t see him
discussing JERSEY SHORE or THE BACHELOR with Kelly ever. I also don’t think I could take hearing the
name James Wilkey every day. Do you
think they thought they would call him
James or Jimmy or Jim? Did they mean to ALWAYS
call him James Wilkey? Oy…no, no Mathew
Broderick on LIVE WITH KELLY…it’s just wrong.
For the record, decent dress and no necklace.
-Last night on RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, when Timmy told Russell that the girl he liked
loves musicians, Russell planned to humiliate Timmy by teaching him to play the
guitar and serenade the girl in front of the entire company. When he went to perform it, Russell started
to feel bad for being so mean to his trusted friend(???) that he joined him on stage
and together they sang…what was the song??? Mr. Big’s “To Be With You”. Of course it was hilarious, check it out:
-It’s still really hard to recap the
show TOUCH with Kiefer Sutherland,
so all I can really say is…this week’s number was 1188, Jake's aunt showed up
and wants full custody, which I find difficult to understand since Jake can’t
even thank her for the super cool tablet she gave him, but okay you wanna start
following the clues too? It’s really
exhausting…just ask Kiefer, he runs around all over the place trying to find
the numbers. I am happy to report that
Kiefer did NOT yell “Jake” once in this episode…it’s a nice change…thanks
writers. I know that those Happy Pop
Twins are going to have something major to do with the story at some point, but
for now I like the randomness of their appearances each week. Still such an interesting show. Not sure if it is MUST SEE TV, but it fits
nicely into my Thursdays for now.
-Okay, so Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are
officially off the charts with their amazingness…both PARKS & REC and 30 ROCK,
brilliant TV. Let’s start with PARKS
& REC. Last night’s episode was Leslie
Knope’s big debate. First we weren’t
sure if super cute man/child Bobby Newport (super cute Paul Rudd) would
actually show up…but he did, and so did three other candidates that we had yet
to meet. We had a porn star who looked
familiar but I can’t figure out from where, a crazy animal activist guy and…Buddy Garrity
from FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS as a gun obsessed nut job. While all of that was going
on, Ann Perkins broke up with Tom, got propositioned by Chris (beautifully
coiffed Rob Lowe) and pretty sure she is going to go back to Tom. Ann is running out of guys in Pawnee, so
something’s got pan out soon! In
addition to Ann’s love life, all of the campaign contributors were invited to
watch the debate and eat Ron Swanson’s famous ribs, but when they went to watch
the debate, Andy had forgotten to pay the cable bill, so while Ron was climbing
the pole to fix it (because of course Ron Swanson can climb a telephone pole
and steal cable) Andy was acting out “Roadhouse”, “Rambo” and “Babe” and if you
had seen those movies, you would know, he did a really good job. Pretty sure
Leslie won the debate, but people seem to love Bobby Newport, so ya just never
know what Amy Poehler will do next…I can’t wait to find out.
-30 ROCK was live last night and it was seriously one of the best
episodes ever. The premise was that TGS
was not going to air live anymore so Kenneth was defending this poor decision
by going through the history of live TV with the staff. Watching the show live is just an incredible
experience, especially a show with this much dialogue. You have to give credit to Alec Baldwin, Tina
Fey, Jane Krakowski and Jack McBrayer who all had a ton of lines and really
didn’t screw them up to much. Pretty
sure Tina Fey was the first to flub a line but she recovered beautifully. Some great cameo’s throughout the 30 minute
episode. Jimmy “when ya gonna call?”
Fallon played a young Jack Donaghy, Amy Poehler wearing a Grizzly Adams T-shirt,
John Hamm with a big afro, Fred Armisen and Sir Paul McCartney…that’s right…they
even had a Beatle! Loved the Chattertons
commercial, Alec as Joey Montero and Jenna as Dusty Springfield, also the guest
appearance of Bert Convey’s TATTLETALES microphone (if anyone even gets that
reference, I am WAY impressed). If you
haven’t seen the episode, whether you are a fan or not…you need to.
-And last, but certainly not least…VAMPIRE DIARIES. Without anyone taking their shirts off, this
episode was still as juicy as always. Of
course you can’t have a VAMPIRE DIARIES episode without a dance, party or ball…so
this week’s was “The Decade Dance” and for some reason the decade chosen was the
Roaring 20’s, because all high school kids, just love the 20’s and in Mystic
Falls they all know how to do the Charleston and own flapper costumes. Looks like Elena is back on her Stefan kick
which is a bummer because if I was kissed the way Elena was by Damon, there
would be no going back for me. Ester the
crazy witch but Mom to all the evil vampires tricked Ric and planned to turn
him into a Vampire-Vampire hunter which would be just insane, so when he
finally comes out of his dark side trance, he tells his buddies to kill him
because that’s the best thing for everyone…so they get a million candles (again
at the drop of a hat) and shed a bunch of tears and say their goodbyes…but then,
just as we are all totally bummed because now Elena and Jeremy have NOBODY left
to take care of them and they are all alone in the world (who does pay all of their
bills?) Bonnie just walks right past Damon and makes Ric drink her blood and go
through the transition Ester had in store for him all along. So now…Ric is not just a bad guy he’s also a
really bad Vampire killing mother…hey it’s a family blog…but you know what I
mean.
-Finally GIULIANA & BILL have good news to share which translated into
great ratings! The Tuesday episode ranked 4th against W1849 and
delivered 630,000 total viewers. The
fifth season is up 36% against W1849 vs. year ago and 28% against total viewers
vs. year ago. On the social media front,
GIULIANA & BILL drove MyStyle.com to its best day for the year in video
streams up 105% and Daily Unique Visitors were up 55%. The series was one of the top 5 talked about
series socially as well. Just goes to
show…America loves a happy ending.
NBC announced its Olympic talent lineup…and the winners
are:
Bob Costas-Primetime Host (was there
any doubt?)
Al Michaels & Dan
Patrick-Daytime Host
Mary Carillo-Late Night Host
Ryan Seacrest, John McEnroe, Bela “You
Can Do It” Karolyi and Mary Carillo-Olympic Contributors
So now Ryan begins dipping his toe
into the sports pool…interesting…Dick would be proud Ryan
Spike TV announced the nominees for
its GUYS CHOICE AWARDS which is set
to air on Saturday June 9th. Feel free to go vote at http://www.spike.com/events/guys-choice/voting/
My top 5 favorite categories: Biggest
Ass Kicker, Holy Grail of Hot, Jean-Claude Gahd Dam.
-For all you FRINGE fans…to be honest, not sure if there are any that I know, I
never ever hear anyone say…”OMG did you see FRINGE last night?” but there must
be some of you, so for all of YOU guys…relax breathe easy…FOX gave the thumbs
up for 13 episodes in 12/13.
-Elise Testosterone…oops sorry about
that…Elise Testone was voted off AMERICAN
IDOL last night. Without the
exciting news of Ryan Seacrest’s stomach flu, I felt no need to check out the
show, so read about it this morning for information purposes only.
As you can see here…Internet
advertising is catching up to Broadcast TV and has already rolled over Cable TV…it’s
only a matter of time.
WWTM’s Weekend Movie Selection: INTO THE WILD
starring Emile Hirsch. If you have never read the amazing book by John Krakauer,
then you will love this movie even more.
Sean Penn directed the true story of Christopher McCandless who abandons
everything to live in the wilderness of Alaska.
Great book, great movie.
