THE SHOWS

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Okay, with all the insanity and everything that went on during Monday's episode of RHOBH, The thing I was most OBSESSED with was Yolanda's painting patio. Did you happen to see it? She has this patio that you have to climb some crazy steps to get to. Somehow she schlepped canvases, paints, paintbrushes, food, drinks etc. all the way to the top so that everyone could paint pics for her daughter Gigi's apartment in NYC. (I'm betting the staff did all the schlepping since Yolanda is battling Lyme's Disease, but if she wants me to think she did it all herself, okay, I'll go with it.) The patio overlooks the ocean and is absolutely magnificent. I can't believe people live like that EVERY day. Incredible. Okay, now over at Cuckoo for cocoa puffs Carlton's house where she was having an adult pool part with naked painted women, pole dancers, Hustler goody bags and more.  Brandi and Yolanda and even Joyce seemed okay with it all but Kyle and Lisa were a little put off as expected. Cartlon's out of her mind bat sh*t crazy. Now Kim is crazy too, but in a totally different Beverly Hills medicated ex-child star kind of way. Kim went to one of those celebrity autograph signing conventions where the most bizarre, pathetic, members of society show up to worship ex-celebrities. Crazier still was when Jimmy McNichol...yes, THAT Jimmy McNichol. Kristy's bro, whose Tiger Beat magazine poster was on my bedroom wall, showed up to say hi to Kim. He's in desperate need of some dental work, but I'm guessing things are tough for good old Jimmy. While Kim was hanging with Jimmy and her fans, Kyle was out earning a buck on Days of Our Lives. Looks like a big fight next week. There's just something missing when an episode doesn't have a catfight in it. 


Hart of Dixie
All week, the promos for Hart of Dixie had me thinking that maybe, just maybe, it was Zoey and Joel who'd break up, but it was Brick and Shelby (who weren't really back together) and Lindley and George. I really want George back with Tanzy, but I also really want Wade with Zoey. I have a feeling that Joel's sticking around, especially now that he and Zoey are finally buying (not renting) a house in Bluebell. No need to worry about that big town merger with Fillmore since Shelby's baby Daddy declared Bluebell a historic landmark thanks to a toilet seat of all things, so that storyline is over thank god. Did anyone notice that Harley, Vivian's annoying kid (still not as annoying as Modern Families, Lily) is the same annoying kid from Masters of Sex? I did. I also caught that Aunt Winnifred was Helen Hunt sister from Mad About You and that the Governor was the Dad from Family Matters. Fun little game right? Glad these guys are working.

Cougar Town
It was Buccaneer week in Gulf Haven on Cougar Town, so all the extras were wearing pirate hats and costumes which was sort of lame. Ellie had to act charming to kiss up to some socialites and Laurie had to make erotic cakes to get customers into her bakery. Chellie, charming Ellie, was sort of enjoyable since she hasn't been out in 10 years, the pirate jokes weren't that funny, and I wasn't sure if there was or wasn't killer jellyfish in the ocean, but once Bobby and Andy stripped and gotten bitten up, we knew that Bobby was telling the truth. What do you call a somewhat enjoyable but not that funny sitcom? Cougar Town.

THE OTHER STUFF

No real surprise that productions been shut down on Sean Saves the World. The show was super lame. I don't feel THAT bad for Sean Hayes since his other show, Hollywood Game Night, is doing just fine. 

Not sure how I feel about the Emmy's moving to Monday night, August 25th. I'm away on vacation in Long Beach Island then so I'm not really plugged in and award show ready. Of course if they're on, I'll watch, but it feels wrong to me. I mean Big Brother's still on then, I'm usually pretty shot after a long beach day, you know the deal. NBC's making a big move to air the show on a Monday, it hasn't been done since 1976 for a reason guys. 

Good news Haven fans, Syfy renewed the show for 2 more 13 episode seasons. 

Wednesday's Trivia Question: Name the stadium where the Giants won their first Superbowl.
