Extreme Parenting was Satisfying and Satisfaction Wasn't




THE ANSWER TO THURSDAY'S TRIVIA QUESTION: Lyla, Jason & Tim were all my faves on Friday Night Lights. Nickname wise I would have taken: Garrity, Six, Street, Rig, Riggins and any others that only us FNL fans know about.

-For the record, The Red Band Society did a 1.3/4.0 which won it's time period  not including AGT. The readers that did watch on Wednesday seemed to like it, so lets see how it does next week. 

-I'll bet you guys that The Mysteries of Laura BOMBS next week without the AGT lead in. Anyone going back for more of that show is out of their minds.

THE SHOWS

Extreme Parenting Finale
There have been crazier parents featured on this show this season. For the final episode though, they featured the Axnesses who practice attachment parenting, and elimination communication. Both are a bit much but they aren't as insane as the hypnotist or the nomads or any of the previous parents we've me along the way. Christian breastfeeds on demand. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace. She also is SUPPOSED to be able to read her 16 month old daughters "cues" to know when she has to pee or poop. She's not that great at it and the kid just goes wherever because she doesn't wear a diaper. I guess the craziest thing was during Mommy/baby yoga (which is ridiculous to begin with) when she had the kid diaper-less and breastfeeding while she was lying on her yoga mat. The Dad is totally on board with all of this insanity, even the placenta storage. I'm not on board with any of it. Series over. No idea if it's coming back. Crazy while it lasted. 

Satisfaction Finale
Everyone now knows everything
Neil knows about Grace and that Adriana is married to Conrad Grayson 
Grace knows about the Chinese guy
Simon's getting out of the escort business and giving away his clients.
Annika is getting into the music business and hitting the road
Grace got the fellowship in Italy and Neil is going with her. 
Okay so there was a suspenseful ending. Someones husband with a gun, but do we even care? I didn't. 
This show was not at all what any of us expected. A huge disappointment, a huge bait and switch. I did watch the entire thing obviously, but if it does get renewed, I'm not coming back. It had so much potential. What a bummer. 

THE OTHER STUFF

-Thank you to Patricia Meore, a faithful reader and fellow Big Brother fan. Patricia and her friends sent in the list of alliance names for the entire season. I'm betting this season had more alliances (with names) than any other season.

Double D’s
The Hitmen
The Weirdos (aptly named)
The Bomb Squad
El Quatro – that was the all girl alliance that crumbled within a week
The Detonators
The Rationale – worst alliance name ever and I was so embarrassed for Hayden when he said it
Zankie
Team America

-The NYC Central Perk Pop-Up Coffee House in NYC celebrating the Friends 20th anniversary opened up on Wednesday. Here are the stats:  

  • 1455 customers on opening day
  • 1060 cups of Eight O'Clock Coffee
  • 1766 photos taken on the couch 
  • 7800 mentions in 24 hours on social media 
  • Gunther showed up 
  • line to get in was 4 city blocks long 
-FX renewed Tyrant for a second season. Barry/Bassam will be back. Jamal will be back and I really hope that Molly the SUPER annoying wife WON'T be back. You could also get rid of the kids if you want FX. I liked Sammy, but once you got rid of his boyfriend he was boring. 

-I am not sure if I know what Darrell Hammond's real voice sounds like. I know him imitating President Clinton on SNL, but now, he's going to be taking over for Don Pardo as announcer. I wonder how much that job pays? Do you announce live or do you tape it? Enquiring minds want to know. 

-TVGN, aka, the TV Guide network is rebranding itself as POP. Either way, I can get iron my cable system so it doesn't make a difference to me. 

Friday's Trivia Question:  Last Love Triangle question for a while...Peter, Will & ??? Name the woman and the show!

Have a great weekend!
