Game of Thrones
MEGA SPOILER ALERT:
I didn't read the Game of Thrones books, so I truly have no idea what's going on half the time and what's about to happen. Last nights episode truly threw me for a loop.  First we had the whole Bran hiding out with his crew, learning how to use his bizarro powers that we only know occur when his eyes roll to the back of his head. Of course he used them last night resulting in a dead guy, a dead horse and a raven attacking Jon Snow who was RIGHT outside his window. Jon got freaked and booked it outta there leaving his woman behind. Then you had Rob Stark and his Mom apologizing to Lord Waller and the Fray's for not marrying one of his hideous daughters. He explained that he just fell in love with someone else, the wrong someone else. Well the King accepted the apology (we thought), got the nephew to marry the only pretty daughter or grand daughter he had and the next thing  you know...surprise attack on the Starks.  First they stab Rob's wife in her belly a million times killing her and her unborn baby and then Rob gets his throat slit and then his Mom's throat spurts a ton of blood too.  Are you kidding me with this stuff???? Of course Arya got there just as all of this went down. Now she's truly a lost orphan.  I had no idea my fave family wasn't going to make it to the end of the series...let alone the end of the season. I'm devastated. First Mathew on Downton Abbey and now The Starks...You're killing me people...KILLING ME!

Real Housewives of New Jersey
I really wasn't going to watch Real Housewives of NJ this season...I wasn't, but the Yankee game was on rain delay and there wasn't much else on last night at 8pm, so what's a TVholic to do?
The season started off with Hurricane Sandy. First the devastation of Melissa and Teresa's beach houses and all of the scenes of damage down on the Jersey shore, but then... RIGHT back to the big luxurious mansions, Melissa's new Bentley, and all of the sparkly boots and shoes that they were all donating to those in need, because when you have NOTHING, a pair of glitzy platform shoes is really what's going to come in handy. Caroline and Al, moved to Hoboken to "try out" apartment living and NOT to be near her sons, but she's bored and needs a project so she's going to help Joe Gorga and Teresa work out their problems. Milania and Antonia miss each other SO much that they wrote letters to each other,  which lead to the most awkward playdate negotiation and playdate I've ever seen. These kids are SO screwed and you can already see it because Gia's now in on it. She was involved in the entire texting playdate negotiation. So ridiculously sad.  Sadder is seeing how Joe Giudice manipulated and disparaged Melissa and Joe right to Teresa and Gia's face. Teresa's pathetic. Rosie seemed to have gotten a makeover by Bravo or Kim G or someone.  Joe Gorga's hat count for the night...5. Jaqueline would rather get her assh*le bleached, which I've never heard of before, than hear about the Giudice/Gorga drama, Milania wants her nose hair removed, Teresa and Joe think the Kansas song "Dust in the Wind" is called "Dust in the Air", Teresa refered to Gia's period as her "monthly bill" and the biggest issue...both Gorga and Giudice communions seem to be set for the same day.  How does THAT happen?  The scenes for the upcoming season are out of control and as much as I want to NOT watch...I'm in. I know somethings wrong with me...but I'm in.

Princesses: Long Island
Okay, so after admitting that I have to watch Real Housewives of NJ this season...I am NOT watching Princesses: Long Island. I only lasted about 18 minutes. Once Ashley asked that she be carried to her car after her pedicure because she didn't want to be seen in flats, I was done. None of these girls or their families were interesting or compelling, they were annoying and their voices just made my ears bleed. OMG I can't believe people want to be famous THIS bad.  Unbelievable.
Treehouse Masters
Look, things are bad right now, other than pilots, there isn't too much on, but I was sort of looking forward to Treehouse Masters on Animal Planet and ya know what, I loved it. First of all, people are insane. Some people have SO much money and no idea how to spend it so building a treehouse steps away from their real house that has everything their real house has in it except for the trees is of course what they come up with. The guy that runs the show is Pete and this guy just LOVES life, loves treehouses and loves what he does for a living.  This week, In addition to building a 750 square foot treehouse complete with full kitchen, bathroom. bedroom, deck and flat screen TV, Pete went into the Bayou to help save an old tree house that was sinking into the water. All really cool stuff actually.  I'd recommend this one...no really!

Tanked vs Fish Tank Kings
No comparison...at all.  Tanked is SO much better than Fish Tank Kings...so much better. Wayde and Brett and the gang have so much more fun, chemistry, camaraderie AND they just build WAY cooler tanks. This week on Tanked, Wayde and Brett turned a camper into a tank and then they built a predator tank with sharks and alligators. They're way more fun, more creative and more interesting than the Fish Tank Kings.  

NEWS & INFORMATION

-For all of you guys watching The Killing on AMC who want a "deeper experience" the show has launched a story sync destination.  During the live telecasts, this dual screen experience will allow viewers to interact with the series and with each other. It's available on computers, tablets and on mobile at TheKillingStorySync.com.  

-Starting this Friday, FOX will be rerunning season 1 of The Following at 9pm.  I'm still not going down that road. It was way too scary for me. I'm a total wimp when it comes to this genre, but if you are in need of scary stuff,  enjoy Kevin Bacon, and have nothing to do on Friday nights...you're in luck big time now. 

-ABC's cutting down on their casts for the fall.  Sort of bummed about Noah and Mr. Wolfe being cut out of Suburgatory, but really don't care at all about Ashley leaving Revenge or Ruby/Red Riding Hood leaving Once Upon a Time.  She got a new job on CBS's show Intelligence so I don't feel that bad for her.  Neal on Once will def be back though, they made him a regular, so I guess they figure out how to get him back from wherever he went in that portal thing.

-Remember Garth Ancier? He helped get FOX and The WB off the ground?  I thought he retired, but I guess he got bored sitting around and decided that what the world needs is 4 new TV networks...yep we do! These will be different...well, not really...Each one of the 4 nets would air shows from different decades, so a 60's net, a 70's net, an 80's net and a 90's net.  I'm sure if I set my DVR correctly I could sort of put those networks together on my own no?

-Just a reminder that if you NEED to know how Ready for Love ends up, you can watch the finale tomorrow on either NBC.com or Hulu.  I'm sure you're all totally relieved to know there is an end to this one and now you'll get your answers.

-Jean Stapleton, aka, Edith Bunker, passed away on Saturday at the age of 90. RIP Edith.
