-Sunday night was a confusing night
of TV for me…I wasn’t sure if it was that I was still suffering from vacation
brain or if TV in general was just confusing…first of all, ONCE UPON A TIME was a rerun, so that threw me off my game. Then it was time for GAME OF THRONES, look let’s be honest, there are a million names to
remember, quite a few Kings and families fighting for power, a ton of lies and
manipulations and it is really hard to keep it all straight. I always feel like I have a general idea of what’s
going on, but I don’t really think I could explain it to someone, especially
without being able to keep all of the names straight. Here is what I came away with…Peter Dinklage
is a medieval rock star, John Snow is okay, Bran is in dream therapy back in
Winterfell, there is a King I never saw before that is gay, again, not enough
Kaleesi, the bald unic guy and the guy that runs the brothel but looks like a
monk and is in love with Lady Stark pretty much know everything about everyone….there’s
more, but you get the gist…great confusing TV…only on HBO
-If that wasn’t all confusing enough…GIRLS finally premiered on HBO last
night and I was pretty much psyching myself up for something insanely amazing
with all the press I’ve been reading, all the hype, the “A” rating in
Entertainment Weekly and honestly…maybe I’m too old to get it, but I really
didn’t. I didn’t like anyone in the
show, (no, not even Brian Williams daughter) I didn’t really like any of the
storyline and I really had no interest in coming back next Sunday to watch
another episode, especially when the entire time I was watching it, I kept
thinking…ICE LOVES COCO is on…ICE LOVES COCO is on…did you guys watch? Did you
like it? I hope I am not the only one
that feels like this…I was truly scratching my head from this one. First LUCK and now GIRLS…HBO…you are freaking
me out a little bit…if NEWSROOM and VEEP suck, I am going to be devastated.
-Over on NURSE JACKIE, things aren’t getting any better…Jackie is really out
of her mind, and everyone at the hospital is too…without Jackie there to help
them all. I did love how they all kept
saying “what would Jackie do?” or “Jackie would have loved that” but I gotta
say…extremely sad and extremely depressing.
Ginny from ONE DAY AT A TIME was Jackie’s roommate who stoked out and
Carmelo Anthony is in rehab as a baseball player…he did okay…I don’t know…with
all of the options on Sunday’s it is getting harder and harder to decide what
makes my roster at this point. Next
Sunday…who knows?
-The only true smile on my face for
the night was during ICE LOVES COCO…Spartacus
got a doggy massage and then was thrown a doggy baby shower, Ice’s movie got
accepted by Sundance and received great reviews and Coco was offered a great
part in a movie but because it meant 2 months away from Ice, she turned it down…I
know I say this every week, and I know you guys are probably sick of hearing
it, but I just love these two…I really do.
-I didn’t have enough time to watch CELEBRITY APPRENTICE or my second
attempt at THE CLIENT LIST, but I
will do my best to catch up on this tomorrow before THE VOICE…seriously…Sunday’s
are just brutal and filled with so much pressure to get it all in…
-While on my vacation, I read 2 books, Ali Wentworth's hilarious
book, Ali in Wonderland, and the Steve Jobs biography which was truly
fascinating...as you know, Tim Cook
is the current CEO of Apple and had covered for Steve during all of his
"leaves"...In 2011, Tim was paid $378 million bucks...more than
any other CEO in America, mainly because he received a one- time award of
Apple Stock.
- Tim's salary was equivalent to 12 years of Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney’s salary
- Tim's salary could pay for 25.4 years of Vikram Pandit, the CEO of Citigroup’s salary
- Tim's salary could buy 75,751,503 Iphoto apps at $4.99 each
- Tim's salary could buy 1,899,497 Iphone 4S's at $199 bucks each
- Tim's salary could pay for 33.5 years of Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of GE’s salary
- Tim's salary could pay for 3,296 MBA's at Duke where he earned his business degree
- Tim's salary could pay for 60,919 years of employment for Apple's Chinese suppliers where employees are paid $17 bucks a day
-I may be late to the
party on this one, but while I was away, Jimmy Fallon released this awesome DOWNTON ABBEY sketch. I think Jimmy and I should do a sequel when
he sleeps over…
-Speaking of DOWNTON ABBEY, Maggie Smith has
requested that season 3 be her last…While I am really bummed, because she is
just hilarious and brilliant in this show, I get it…she has hard choices to
make and if she wants out, she should do what she wants…I respect that in a
person.
-We didn’t get to chat
about the big Britney Spears announcement…she will be getting paid $15 million
bucks to be a judge on the X-FACTOR
and to be honest, I have no feelings whatsoever about it. I like Britney, I have no idea if she will be
good for the show or not, it will be interesting to see who the other woman is
and who the new co-host will be…I guess I will have more to say once I see it
all come together.
-Another thing that
happened while I was gone…ABC cancelled THE
REVOLUTION, saved GENERAL HOSPITAL
and decided to add an afternoon version of GOOD
MORNING AMERICA but keep the name GMA which makes no sense to me if the
show isn’t airing in the morning, but hey who am I to question this very
bizarre decision…I always say, I wish I was in the room to hear these
conversations and how they all get made…I am sure the eye rolling would be out
of control. (On my part that is)
