THE SHOWS 

Big Brother

I need to blow off the bullet points for a sec. We have to discuss Devin. How idiotic and delusional can one person be? He actually believed and convinced Caleb that Donny was a special military soldier. Seriously these people are absolutely insane. 

The other none bullet point comment…Who in the world would think that out of the 6 players competing in a spelling contest that Donny, the hick from the sticks, would win using the 9 letter word spitters? The other 4 people couldn't even spell a single word. What is wrong with them? 

Oh, wait…before we go back to bullets…Caleb. Can we discuss him? He's BEAUTEOUS! That may not be a word, but you already know that I make up my own words. The arms, the abs and the eyes are killer. Did I enjoy him soaking wet swimming around looking for letters? Yes…yes I did. 

Okay, back to bullets:  

• Pow Pow should be evicted just so I don't have to type the words Pow Pow anymore
• Tears count for this episode-4 Donny, Devin, Pow Pow & Joey 
• Frankie's outfits are mesmerizing. Skimpy underwear, sparkling cummerbunds and bow tie hair clips.  
• Donny's emotional floodgates have been open look out BB house, I have a feeling there will be more tears to come. 
• Nicole though there was a ghost in the fire room? Really? That would mean someone had to die in the BB house and to the best of my knowledge there hasn't been any murders or deaths. 
• Ever you ever heard knee socks referred to as "Tall Drink of Water socks"? 
• The Have Not Situation is HORRIBLE this season! Ice room & Slopsicles? I'd shoot myself
• Does ANYONE know what an alliance is? Jocasta doesn't think you can start an all girls alliance with 7 girls? THAT IS AN ALLIANCE!
• Joey admitted to her attempt at forming an alliance and then apologized for it? Wait til she watches this show, she's going to kick herself. 
• There was a Disney show...The Suite Life of Zach & Cody. Thanks guys! 
• Jacosta asked God to stop what he was doing to help Pow Pow win the Power of Veto. I think he's a bit busy right now with the World Cup and the Middle East Jacosta. 
• God must have been so annoyed by Jacosta's request that he sent her that pink bug costume to wear on national TV 
• Loved the Miami Lice competition (name the 2 characters on Miami Vice for bonus)
• Has Pow Pow been speaking in the 3rd person on previous episodes or was last night the first time? 
• What was Amber wearing after the Veto competition. Blue hot pant shorts a yellow bra and high heels?  She looked like a slutty stewardess 
• Donny took himself off the block and Caleb put Joey on the block at the POV meeting where there was a brand new POV box. 
• My prediction…Joey's out. 

America's Got Talent

I tuned in for a little while last night after Big Brother. I think it was a re-air but it was new to me. I didn't want to get sucked in, but it was really good. There was an awesome magician named Smoothini. I know Howard loves magicians and this guy was great. No props other than cards, salt and Snapple. Mesmerizing. There was a Ukrainian hand balancing guy, Chinese fan dancers and Justin Rhodes singing for his Dad for the first time. Dad was crying his eyes out, Mom had a "That's My Boy" sign, emotional background music from the movie Twilight and thankfully, the kid could sing. With all that great talent, my favorite part of the show was when Mel B mistakenly unplugged the buzzers wires so that she could charge her cell phone. Stars…they're just like US!

THE SHOWS

Big Brother

When I saw Julie Chen's dress last night, I just had to laugh. Do you think it goes something like this over at the Moonves/Chen estate?:

"Lessssss, I need to get a bunch of new outfits for Big Bro 16"

"Really Jules? You don't have anything in that enormous closet I built for you that you can wear on the show?"

"I'm sure I can find something babes, but I reallllly want some new outfits" 

"Jules, there's stuff in there that still has tags on them. Wear those dresses and first and then we'll talk about it"

"But Lessssss, you made 65 million dollars this year, just a couple of things…please"

The result, that long coral maxi dress that Julie could have hidden a baby bump in annnnd last night's super bizarre magenta dress that she never had time to get tailored. 

And now…back to the show and back to bullet points because you know I love BBBP's

• Caleb's the metrosexual country boy with the hoodie and the mega muscles is officially my BB crush of the Summer
• Did you see the way Cody was looking at Brittany, the divorced Mom with 3 kids now THAT would be quite the showmance 
• I just knew that 21 Jump Streeter Derrick would lie about his job
• I can't stand Jocasta the bisexual minister's bowtie. Andy Cohen would have us drinking everytime she mentioned Jesus or God and we'd be wasted by the first HOH challenge.  
• I think Hayden the petty cabdriver could win this entire thing
• Has Zachary the person with no friends ever seen this show? You need to play a social game. He won't last. 
• Did they ever say just how long were the first 8 houseguests were in the house before the 2nd 8 came in?
• Victoria thinks she's the hottest one in the house. Remember Jessie from last season? She had the same delusions. 
• I kinda like Christine the barrista 
• The more I see Donny, the more obsessed I am with that beard and how odddd looking  he is. Now we learned that he can make cricket and bug sounds to boot. 
• 2nd HOH this week is my Summer Big Brother Boyfriend, Caleb
• I enjoy the word tushy
• I think I'm going to enjoy this battle of the block. It isn't at all what I thought it would be. The 4 nominees battle each other. 2 stay on the block and 2 come down BUT  their victory puts the HOH who nominated them back in to the pool now that is NUTS!!!
• Joey is the first member of my Team America Alliance. I didn't vote for her but I'm okay with it. 

Mystery Girls

In support of my 90201'ers I had to check out Mystery Girls on ABC Family. I won't be watching it again, and that makes me sad. There are some good things. Not many but a few. Jennie Garth looks good and can actually act. The guy that plays her husband is very cute and I enjoy a good organizing system which they have in their office. Hmmmm that's pretty much all the good I could find. Soooo sorry Tori, but your character is brutal, Nick the gay assistant or whatever he is, is super annoying, the laugh track is way too loud and overused and not that it bothered me but in 30 minutes, on an ABC Family there was a sex tape, discussion about "faking it" a sex change, moaning and camel toe. REALLY? Who wrote this thing? I did notice that Michael Lembeck directed this episode. Bonus points if you know the CBS Sitcom he starred in from 1979-1984. 

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
This episode of CiCGC was sooooo different than last week's episode. Of course the Sarah Jessica Parker episode was probably my all time favorite, so it would be really hard to top that one. I loved this week's car, I love all things Vegas and I love the backstage stuff. Comedians have SUCH a different lifestyle than the rest of the world. They really DO have a lot of time on their hands don't they? Anyway, Jerry and George Wallace have been friends for 38 years. (I wonder if that's how he chose the name George for his buddy on Seinfeld) Bonus if you caught George Wallace's first name. I don't know much about George Wallace at all. Seems like a good guy, a fun guy and the guy that will embarrass you at the diner. Jerry and George ran in to another comedian gambling. I don't think he said a word during  the entire episode did he? Give me his name for extra bonus points.

The Other Stuff

-Looks like The View is going to look very different next season. No Barbara Walters, no Sheri Shepherd and no Jenny McCarthy. My opinion...let the ladies of The Talk take over. Do we need 2 of the same exact show? Could you imagine Les at next years upfronts talking about how his wife's is #1 in daytime. I have Les and Julie on the brain this week. Hope you all don't mind.

THE SHOWS 

Big Brother
You feel it right? Julie, her Chenbot movements, the big round table, the houseguests, the house...must mean Summer is really here and all is right in the world again. Julie promised a million twists and game changers and of course we knew about most of them already, but now we know 1/2 of the players involved in our Summer insanity. Hard at this point to pick one or two or a team or an alliance favorite, but if I counted right there's already quite a few alliances in place, right? The Crazy 8's, The Cuatro (which means 4 Nicole) and the Double D's for Donny and Devin. There are already a few showmance possibilities and from what I can tell a love triangle in the making between Amber, Devin and Joey. There's already an annoying nickname with Pow Pow. There's an effeminate version of Spencer from BB 15 and some pretty amazing bodies, I mean how many 6 pack abs guys are in the house already? Frankie could get on my nerves, although, I did appreciate the My Little Pony reference.  Was it my imagination or was everyone given Crest White Strips before entering the house? So many perfect pearly white teeth. Maybe they were all on Survivor Island and got their teeth done there.  All I know is. I'm happy, I'm feeling good and NOW I'm ready for the Summer. So excited for tonight's second episode and the next 8 players to enter the house. Can't wait for more fun alliance names. Oh and don't forget...we have TeamAmerica too.  Isn't life great? 

THE OTHER STUFF

-Huge news in the Aereo vs. Broadcast TV Owners. The supreme court finally ruled yesterday and the ruling was correct in my opinion. Aereo transmits broadcast TV channels over the Internet to its subscribers which IS JUST LIKE cable television and therefore, Aereo would need to pay licensing fees to the broadcasters. Bummer for cord-cutters I guess, but it's the right ruling. Who knows what happens now though.  

-Big day over at ABC News.  Diane Sawyer is stepping down as World News Tonight Anchor and taking on more of Big Issues/Big Interviews role. David Muir's going to take her place as Anchor and Managing Editor starting on 9/2. More interesting in my opinion is the promotion of George Stephanopoulos to Chief Anchor of ABC News. he'll handle special reports and breaking news. I'm thinking Ally Wentworth's not going to get much quality sleep once this all starts. She probably didn't get much before though anyway. 

-Jillian Michaels is leaving The Biggest Loser...AGAIN...anyone care? So over her. 

-Sad note for Survivor fans, Caleb from last season was killed in a train accident. He seemed like a good guy, of course he was engaged to Colton one of the most hated players of all time, but either way, sad news.

Big Brother Bullets-Season Finale :(

• Julie Chen went for the supersize beehive on finale night
• Spazzy Spencer went SPLAT and was first to drop during the first HOH challenge
• Next out...Andy. I was happy about that one
• GinaMarie choking on the glitter after winning...that was just plain funny
• Andy complained about everything being sore which made me complain about his complaining...I really can't stand hearing him anymore.
• UGHHH ANDY vs. GM in the finals 
• The bowtie had to go
• GinaMarie had to pee...her mic was on during Spencer's exit interview and we could hear her freaking out about it...should have done that before the broadcast GM
• McCrae left that stupid bandana on his head finale night. I thought it was an in the house thing...guess not
• Biggest obstacle for GinaMarie was Nick being evicted? UGH
• Andy was really strong during the jury grilling didn't realize how well he played the game until he spewed out his story
• I LOVE DR. WILL he needs his own show
• GinaMarie...she's only her...the best GinaMarie she can possibly be
• Caught Helen lying...she told us during the show that a lot of her tears were fake and then lied last night saying they were real
• 500% increase in fan voting...that's impressive
• And this years winner of Big Brother is...ANDY...WHATEVER!  Great Summer
• Did you see Nick and GM hug for an awkward amount of time? How's Nick going to get rid of her now? 
• 25K to Elissa for America's favorite houseguest I wanted Helen to get the dough, but she didn't even land in the top 3
• I had a great Big Brother Summer even though the cast sucked...Grodner, DeMol...get started NOW you owe us an amazing cast next year!

SURVIVOR
The reason that Survivor has been on for 27 seasons is because Jeff Probst and the producers have continued to keep everything we love about the show (especially Jeff's shirts) and the game and add fun twists and turns along the way. We all knew that this season was family members playing against each other, but we didn't know that they didn't know it until they got on the island.  They were stunned.  That was cool twist #1. Cool twist #2: Before the tribes went to their beaches to set up camp someone from each tribe had to be voted out. Rupert's wife Laura and Candice, a returning player were both voted out BUT Cool twist #3 they didn't leave the island, the went to Redemption Island. Cool twist #4, their loved ones could take their place. So...Rupert replaced his wife and went with Candice to Redemption Island.  Candice's husband stayed put and he felt guilty about it and cried at Tribal Council. There are a few returning players I honestly don't remember and one of them was a winner. Damn getting old sucks. I've seen every single episode of Survivor and have no memory at all of Aras, Monica or Laura.  Colton the meanest most horrible player ever was back with his fiance and said he's changed. I was buying it for a minute, but then during the immunity challenge we saw the old Colton come through so who knows what the deal is with him.  The newbies have a cool waterfall nearby so that's fun for them. The first reward/immunity challenge was a typical Survivor challenge. Swim, untie a boat, paddle back, do a puzzle done. Can you believe that Gervais STILL can't swim? 13 years after the first time he played and the swimming issue has yet to be addressed. Really? The returners won the challenge. The Mom's kicked their daughter's butts at the puzzle challenge. Couple of back stories of interest. Laura's daughter was a teen mom. 16 and pregnant, but now she's married and has another kid with the husband. Aras's brother is an ex junkie who spent time in prison.  Marissa, Gervais's niece was sent to Redemption Island. Interesting to hear the strategy now that the loved one factor is in play.  Who you vote off does affect both tribes. Did anyone understand Brad's finger counting/alliance exercise? I don't even think Brad did.  It's Fall guys...AC's off, new shows are on and I'm not sad about Summer anymore.  Oh...note to CBS...the live sync app didn't work for me last night.

NEWS & INFORMATION:

According to another super cool Nielsen report, Netflix is still the most popular streaming service out there.  Lots of other interesting facts in this one:

• 38% of people in the US use Netflix as their streaming service up from 31% in 2012
• 18% use Hulu. Up from 12% in 2012
• 13% use Amazon. Up from 7% in 2012 - that's a BIG JUMP
• 38% of consumers have used Red Box
• 58% of those surveyed preferred to view shows after they have aired and watch multiple episodes in a row (that'd be me)
• 40% of Netflix users access programs via computers which is down from 48% in 2012
• 43% of Hulu users watch shows on their computers which is down from 61% in 2012
• Users are watching shows on mobile phones and Internet-connected TV's more than ever.The number of Netflix users watching content on smartphones has doubled to 23% in 2013 and Hulu users increased from 10 to 17%
• The number of subscribers watching Internet connected TVs rose fom 12 to 17% for Netflix users and 9 to 14% for Hulu users

-Kenichi Ebina won America's Got Talent. I didn't watch at all. I sort of feel guilty because it's the first time I didn't support Howard Stern, but he talked about the show SO much on the air that I didn't really need to. This guy Kenichi is some sort of innovative dance dude and Howard thought he'd win and he did. Sorry Howard, I just couldn't do it this time, but I love you anyway...hope you don't hold it against me.

-Unless you're living under a rock somewhere, you probably know that Modern Family is launching on USA in syndication on 9/24.  I mean they've doing everything they can to remind us to watch. They paid so much to get the show, we better watch, right?  Anyway, I like this idea...Starting this week die-hard MOFY's (which stands for Make Our Family Yours) can hook up at www.mofynation.com to interact, share favorite scenes and personal moments. Fans will be encouraged to upload testimonials inspired by the series and could have them end up on the air. Cute right?

-Hopefully you guys are all watching Breaking Bad live on Sunday night, but if you aren't make sure you add time to your DVR. The final 2 episodes of Breaking Bad have been extended to 75 minutes each. Yeah...more Breaking Bad...every extra second is appreciated and a gift from Vince Gilligan and the cast to all of us! Thanks Vince!

-Bravo's hosting a 10 year reunion for the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy cast. Not sure people miss them all that much that a reunion is required, but okay, it could be fun. I'm not sure I know what Kyan Douglas is doing these days, so I'll probably check it out in October when it airs.  Depends what else I got goin on that day though.  Soon as I have a date I'll load it on the list to the right.

-One thing I will be watching is the Bonnie & Clyde mini series starring Emile Hirsch. I love him, have you ever seen Into the Wild? SO good! Anyway, when B&C airs on December 8th and 9th, it will be REALLY easy to find because all of the A&E Nets will be running it simultaneously.  They must think they have a winner here if there putting it EVERYWHERE!  Hope so, Emile needs a hit, he's super cute and way under rated.

-More big legal issues for the nets and their distributors...this one was ABC and Dish who are still at it over the AutoHop device. ABC lost, but their about to start negotiations with Dish since their current deal expires at the end of the month. So all you Dish people could be without Dancing with the Stars pretty soon.  Get an antenna from Radio Shack right now!

-More content options for you to know about...this one is courtesy of YouTube. They'll now offer an option for you to download clips from their site to your tablet or smartphone. That's pretty cool and a smart move. 

Thursday's Trivia Question: In 2003 an NBC Drama won the Emmy. The show starred such stars as: Rob Lowe, Bradley Whitford and Allison Janney who happen to all be on Primetime Comedies this year!

Big Brother

I'm sure you've seen Julie's big reveal photos, but just in case you haven't...

• GinaMarie flossing her teeth on the couch was GROSSING ME OUT! Where does she think the teeth goo's going when she it gets out? On the couch where she and the other house guests are laying...ewwwwww
• Andy nominated McCrae and Spencer which make sense, no big surprise at all there 
• Jury House....Yeah...I love the jury house.  
• Aaryn must have had a publicist in her limo on the way to the jury house since she apologized the SECOND she got there for her racist comments
• Amanda got to the jury house and DRAMA...McCrae Campaign 2013 began
• Holy Cow...Andy WON THE VETO...annoying but since I really don't care who wins I guess it's fine
• Andy's Veto meeting outfit was ridiculous...what was with those socks and after careful analysis, that was NOT the Travelocity gnome on his shirt.
• GinaMarie ousted McCrae Amanda's going to be reallllly mad! 
• Note to Les Moonves...here's my pitch...throw some cameras on McCrae and Amanda and put it online so we can see how quickly they break up.  Thanks
• Andy told McCrae about The Exterminators and he definitely didn't see it coming because he was in Amanda's web and it clouded is brain and his game play
• Julie was great in telling McCrae he made a bonehead move, but she was soooooo nice about it
• "At times you seemed deeply in love with Amanda but at times you seem deeply afraid of Amanda"great quote Jules! 
• McCrae didn't seem as 100% sure about his relationship with Amanda as she did of when she was sitting next to Julie last week.
• Dr. Will is coming back to to grill the jury...OMG, that'll be the best episode of the Summer!!! DR WILL RULES! 

X Factor

For the past 2 years, I had to watch X Factor because Verizon was a partner and it was my job. Things have changed, but I had to check it out and I did for a little while. It was fine. I felt numb to it all. Same old same old. I'm not at all familiar with Paulina Rubio and I"m not a huge Destiny's Child/Kelly Rowland fan. Demi looked terrible, Simon got glasses and that's about it. Take it or leave it...I had nothing better to do, so I watched for a while. As you can see from the numbers above, the Season premiere didn't do very well at all.  Down about 22% vs. last years and down about 2 million viewers.  They need to get Simon's baby mama to sit in the audience, that'll get those numbers up. 

NEWS & INFORMATION:

-Look out Matt Lauer, Carson Daly's coming to The Today Show. Sure, right now he's the Social Media guy in the "Orange Room" whatever that means, but I'm giving the over/under on how soon Carson's taking your seat at under 2 years. The door was locked and now it's open and Carson's coming in.  Not sure what's happening with his late night show, but he's keeping his radio gig.  He's just gotta get some Kardashians or Cyrus's or some drama filled family and he'll start to give Ryan Seacrest some competition too.  

-I wasn't surprised at all when I read that the Parent's Television Council went mental about the Sons of Anarchy premiere. I mean I get it, the episode had a guy getting raped, a woman being tortured, another guy drowning in a bathtub of pee, and a school shooting, so I understand their concern. They don't care about the old "change the channel" thing anymore, they want consumers to be able to pay for a la carte networks so there is NO SHOT at a kid seeing something like that at all.  This will NEVER happen. What they need to take into consideration is that SOA airs at 10pm and it's not a show that people stumble onto...it's appointment television and it's for adults who can decide for themselves if this show is for them. SOA's a great show with a complex message that can't be digested in a vacuum. Did the PTC take note that SOA was the number one show on all of television on Tuesday night? There's room for all of it guys, people are a lot smarter than you think and if the concern is for kids who might see this show by accident, it's a possibility, can't say it won't happen, but any kid who shouldn't see it should be in bed, sleeping by 10pm on a school night, that's where my kid is. 

-I can't believe I didn't see this video before I posted the blog yesterday. I hope none of you told my FBFF, Jimmy Fallon that I screwed up, it could make all the difference in the world in my quest for my JF Sleepover.  My apologies Jimmy...please check your calendar on a sleepover date and in the mean time I'm going to make all my readers who are huge Breaking Bad fans watch your brilliant, hilarious video. Note to Higgins...awesome job b*tch!  Check it out guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duKL2dAJN6I

-Julie Chen's happy, I'm happy, and I know a ton of all of you are happy...Big Brother and Big Brother After Dark are both coming back for us all next Summer! Note to Alison Grodner and the Big Brother producers...hire a new casting director asap! I loved the show and I always will, but when the public doesn't really care who wins, somethings wrong and that's how the majority of us feel.  There was really never anyone all Summer we all loved. So, take it as an "opportunity for improvement" CAST CAREFULLY next season!!!

-Hey Bravo guys...why am I not on The People's Couch? This new 3 episode series sounds PERFECT for me!!! Basically, the camera's are turned on to regular people watching TV...I watch TV...I have a couch...come on over! I've been saving some snacks for Jimmy Fallon, but I'm willing to share them with your camera crew! 

-Like X Factor, American Idol's in need of a ratings boost, so their bringing back the "nominate an Idol" component which allows viewers to nominate a talented individual without their knowledge. So if you know someone...let Ryan and the gang know asap. 

-In a new Nielsen "DUH of course" study...if the shows great, people will be more likely to remember the ad.  Did they pay someone a lot of money to figure that out? I would have told them that for free.  

Friday's Trivia Question: This question is for those of you guys who grew up here in the Tri-State Area and remember Channel 11 in the 80s before it was the CW.  What was the name of the game viewers (mainly kids) played on the TV screen. You called in, and said something live to fire the bullets...Don't ask me why I woke up thinking about this...I just did. 

Have a great weekend!

BIG BROTHER

• Tonight's episode for all of us New Yorkers will be airing on WLNY due to the Jet game.  I'm going to watch both!  
• The remaining house guests have been locked up for 78 days so far. 78 days of no TV, magazines about TV, Internet articles about TV, No TV apps, no TV games, NOTHING? OMG I'd die in that BB house. I'd die after 5 days...maybe 3. 
• When the show started, McCrae and GM were still chained together and the gang was smart in making McCrae think GinaMarie was the target...the guy could possibly be on the jury, playing nice is key. 
• Judd was still doing sit ups and push ups via the abusive, but funny,  drill sergeant
• Still no 6 pack abs for Judd though
• The superhero veto flying challenge was recycled from last season, I thought everyone looked cute in their leotards and capes. 
• It's a bird, it's a plane it's Iannnnnnn Terry, last years BB winner. The money hasn't changed him a bit 
• Julie's dress last night was HIDEOUS...GET A NEW STYLIST JULIE! I'm begging! 
• Andy annoys me so badly, he's going to cringe when he watches himself back on TV
• I loved all of the Batman exclamations during the veto competition but my favorite by far was the use of the word KABLAMO...I'm going to try to weave that one into my conversations today.  
• Of course McCrae won the veto...of course he did...so...Judd went up on the block and you knew that meant that Judd was going home...again.  Well, at least this time he's going to the jury house...the only guy and 6 woman. Good Luck Judd, not sure what's harder BB house or Jury for you. 
• Judd tried a weird move during the veto meeting by telling McCrae he'd be going after him.  Wasn't sure where his head was at the point, but BB does crazy things to people right? 
• GM wore her hot pink pumps for the eviction ceremony and they still look like giant bubble gum wads on her feet. 
• Of course Andy cried during his bye bye Judd video.  It's getting SO old already with this guy. 
• The HOH competition was that Before or after, step up step back, do the hokey pokey game and Andy won, but GM's body language during the competition was hilarious.  
• Big night tonight people! It's down to the wire, this time next week it will all be over and Survivor will be my newest bullet point obsession!

NEWS & INFORMATION

-So You Think You Can Dance will be back next Summer. DId anyone have any doubts? I didn't.  It always does pretty well for FOX, it's cheap to produce. No brainer

-I knew the Sons of Anarchy premiere was going to deliver big numbers. I mean Jax is Christian Gray, so I'm sure there are a whole bunch of woman jumping on the Samcro bandwagon now. I'm fine with that, then all of the haters and doubters will come around and root for Charlie instead of sign petitions to oust him from the film.  Sons delivered 5.8 million adults 18-49 on Tuesday night beating everything on broadcast and cable at 10pm and ratings wise the show beat everything for the night across the board with a 3.1 making it the #1 show of the night period. I'm sure those numbers will increase big time after the Live+7 numbers come in, so I'm taking the liberty of saying TOLD YOU SO and congrats to the guys.

-According to Time Warner, they did lose some customers during the 32 day CBS blackout, but specifics were not revealed yesterday during investor calls.  Of course Les Moonves said that there was "no harm done" to the CBS Corporation. You know Les would NEVER admit if there was.  If he can't tell his wife that the dress she wore on last nights show was abominable, ya think he's going to tell all of us that CBS lost revenue, ratings etc? Not a chance. 

-I'm pretty happy about the news that AMC and Vince Gilligan have come to an agreement for a Breaking Bad spinoff focusing on our favorite attorney, Saul Goodman. Bob Oedenkirk will be starring in Better Call Saul for the network. The shows supposed to be a prequel to Sauls' Walter White years which could be fun for all of us in mourning after the loss of one of the best shows ever.  I'm not clear if Vince Gilligan will be involved or not. If done well, it could be a great show. I can only imagine the the things they could come up with for Saul. Hope Vince lends a hand in some capacity.  

-Target, one of my favorite shopping destinations, is getting in on the streaming video action. Target Ticket will be available on 10/1 with TV shows and movies to rent or buy.  There's just SO many choice now for consumers...add this one to your list people.  

Thursday's Trivia Question: Mike & Molly and The Gilmore Girls have this actress in common.  Name the actress and for a bonus name her character on The Gilmore Girls and for another 5 point bonus give me her last name too!
