Betrayal
You knew that everything would have to unravel sooner or later on Betrayal.  I mean Jack and Sarah and their "thing" only work in a bubble right? Once Jack took that picture, I knew the sh*t was going to hit the fan. Rule number one...NO PHOTOS! I mean come on dude, you're in the business of cleaning up messes not making them. Who leaves the picture in the camera? Sarah's not in love, she's obsessed, I mean look what happened when she found out Jack couldn't make their date, a complete breakdown in front of her husband and all of his co-workers. There's no way this show can be more than one season? I mean the story ends soon right? We don't care that Elaine's into the wine guy, or that TJ's working as a mechanic or that the guy from Babe is a mean nut job. All we care about is Jack and Sarah and it looks like next week it all blows up. OMG loving the ride, but all great rides must come to an end and I see the end coming soon.

E! Special-Tori Spelling 
I'm a huge Tori Spelling fan. Well, I'm pretty much a huge fan of anyone from the original Beverly Hills 90210 so that makes me a huge Tori fan.  There isn't much we don't know about Tori Spelling, Dean, her kids, her Mom etc. So I guess E! did Tori a favor by giving her a one our special to promote her book and her new show. Of course I had to watch. As expected, I didn't learn anything new. Didn't matter, I could have stared at Dean, Tori and Giuliana all day trying.  Dean got really old looking really fast. I guess that's what happens when you have 4 kids under the age of 5. Tori and Giuliana are train wrecks at this point. No disrespect at all, I LOVE Tori, but she's looking very strange now. She was smart though...she had Giuliana do the interview which balanced out the oddness factor a bit.  The two of them together, you don't know who to look at first. I don't want to mean, but seriously, you need to check this interview out just to tell me who wins here. I'm giving it to Olive Oyl, but it's a close race. 

The Governors Wife
I heard about this new show on A&E called The Governors Wife and to be honest, I had no idea it was a reality show. I thought it was like a Downton Abbey or something.  I was TOTALLY off base.  I didn't give the show a season pass but I know, I will be watching it again. Here's the story. Ex Governor of Louisiana and Ex Con, Edwin Edwards is 85 years old. He has 2 of the scariest looking daughters you've ever seen who are in their 60s and dating. He's married to Trina who is 34 years old and has a 16 year old son and a 14 year old son and SHE'S pregnant with the Gov's baby. She has a hot sister and a gay BFF and everyone says Y'all a million times in each episode. The Governor is obsessed...I mean OBSESSED with turning lights off and saving money on electricity. He's insane about it.  Do I need to say more? Check it out.  

Hart of Dixie
I am pretty sure that it's only my BFF Alyssa and I who are still watching Hart of Dixie, but honestly I still love it. It's just cute and sweet and makes me smile. I can't even believe I'm saying this, but Joel, Zoey's new BF is sort of growing on me. Of course if she ended up back with George or Wade, I'd be happy, but Joel's a good guy. He moved to the tiniest town ever just to be with Zoe, ya gotta give the guy credit. He loves her, but I'm guessing that Zoe WILL break his heart at some point soon. Anyway...In Hart of Dixie nobody really gets sick,  so, I never really worried about AB when Zoey felt a lump and sent her for tests. Lemon had what I hope won't be a one night stand with Clay from One Tree Hill and Levon wore the same cool blue and purple shirt with blue pants in this episode as he did in last weeks episode. George and Wade looked hot in their suits for the masquerade ball didn't they?  Is it me or did Scott Porter get a whole new body over the Summer? He's looking really good lately. Did we know that Brick's real name was Bertram? If we did...I totally forgot that. I guess I also forgot that his Mom's a b*ll buster too. Either way, cute episode. 

How I Met Your Mother
O...M...F...G...really? NOTHING HAPPENED! NOTHING. No yellow umbrella, no Mom, no wedding, nothing. It took all episode long and a few "no questions asked" flashbacks for Marshall to just tell Lily the truth about the judgeship. You guys are killing me! NOT COOL

Homeland
Okay, I wouldn't say that Sunday's Homeland was back by any means, but its definitely heading in the right direction. I want to thank the writers for having Saul re-explain where we are at this point since I honestly needed a bit of clarity after last weeks episode. Lately I find myself yelling at Carrie a lot. Take your pills, don't say a word, get back to the yoga studio, you know what I mean. Of course I should have some faith in her, her brilliant yoga ruse did in fact save the annoying Dana Brody from Leo the liar, but to be honest, I wouldn't have minded if Dana disappeared forever. Saul TOTALLY got screwed for the CIA Directors job by Red from The Shawshank Redemption and if he wasn't having a bad enough day, his wife (I think she's still his wife) had another guy at the house while he was getting the passed over. That's gotta suck.  So now Carrie's in the bad guys hands and hopefully, we will see Brody next week, I mean he's only been in 1 episode so far right? This is NUTS! 

News & Information:

-Sunday nights episode of The Walking Dead delivered a 6.8 RA18-49 and 12.9 million viewers .Sure it's down a bit from last weeks 7.1 million but keep in mind it was up against NFL Football AND World Series game 4. So those are still pretty impressive numbers and still put The Walking Dead up there as the number one non sports primetime program.

-Morgan Spurlock's CNN show,The Inside Man, was renewed for a second season. I haven't seen all of them, but the ones I have seen are really good. You can check them out on CNN's App and on their website too.  I loved the education one and the gun one. If you haven't seen any of them, start with those two!

-A lot of people I know love Strike Back. I've never seen it, not sure if it's worth binge viewing or not. The good news is that Strike Back's been renewed for a 4th season. For all of you SB fans...the bad news is the 4th season will be the last season. 

-If you haven't seen any of Sleepy Hollow, now's your chance. You can watch all of the episodes on the FOX NOW app, Fox.com, Hulu and your cable providers FOX On Demand.  The next new episode doesn't air until next week, 11/4 so you can watch the first 5 and be all caught up by next week! 


-Netflix will now have all episodes of Dexter available starting Thursday. The first 4 seasons will be available to watch instantly and then seasons 5-8 will be available January 1st. 

-Not sure if you guys have seen the trailer for HBO's True Detective yet, and I know, I know it's not my favorite genre in the world, but when you watch the trailer you gotta admit it looks pretty amazing, don't you think? Matthew McConaghey, Woody Harrelson, the casting alone is top notch. Now watch this trailer and tell me if you're as intrigued as I am. True Detective doesn't premiere until January 12th, but don't worry, I'll remind you, plus...I have it loaded to the right in the Finales and Premieres list.

-Nielsen announced it will be incorporating audiences viewing TV content on digital devices into traditional TV measurement for the 2014-15 season. Content not eligible for TV ratings will be included in Nielsen digital ratings next year. They also extended their agreement with Screenvision to provide weekly ratings for in theatre audiences. They're pretty busy these days with everything changing so fast aren't they. What I don't get is why it is all so difficult. Why can't they just invent an app in everyone's phones that tell everyone what we are hearing, watching, playing etc.  Privacy shmivacy...the truth is out there! (5 points if you know where that's from)

Tuesday's Trivia Question: What was the name of the high school that Blair, Serena, Dan and Nate graduated from?
