Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

I still TiVo Live with Kelly & Michael every day, but I only watch it when someone I'm into is on. Yesterday, Jerry Seinfeld was guest hosting with Kelly while Michael was on vacation which reminded me that Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premiered last night.  YEAH!!!!! I apologize for forgetting to reminding you all, and I obviously forgot to include it on my list of what I'm watching or in the premieres & finales list.  This is why someone needs to invent the computer DVR. If I had that, I'd have a season pass and it would have just been in my queue waiting for me. I'm so happy it's back and now Jerry has a sponsor...Acura.  In the first episode of Season 2, it's Sarah Silverman's turn to go for coffee with Jerry and it's hilarious. The show is longer this season, but it flies by, (even with the Acura product integration). I love the shots of the coffee, all the scenes in the car and I now have a new word that I will begin using as soon as possible..."outordered". I happen to be THE BEST orderer at any restaurant I go to...you'll see what I mean when you watch. There was a Bizzaro Jerry moment though...check out Jerry's kicks and you'll know what I mean.  So happy CiCGC is BACK!  Check it out!

The Hero

I'm into this show, we've established that already, but I'm still not clear what happens at the end. Does everyone win? Nobody gets voted out so who gets the money? I'm not sure. Anyway, this week, The Rock was still very shiny and sweaty but I think it's also because his clothes are super tight to show off his massive muscles which I seem to be more impressed with each week. Last night, the first challenge was for 6 of the players to run around the ghetto of  Panama to find 3 places in photographs. While that was going on, The Rock offered Darnell 35K, which he turned down, but then Sean took the deal because he's broke. This made all of the challenges harder for the rest of the team.  I still sort of felt for Sean, especially when he did come clean and tell the team that he was the one who took the money before they all pulled each others hair out. The 2nd challenge had Athena, Darnell and Marty pushing The Rocks truck 8 blocks but since they couldn't get it done in time. The team elected Darnell to compete in the Hero's challenge which was RIDICULOUS.  I don't know why they all want to do it so badly. He had to run all over a dry dock to find a sledge hammer and run all the way back to this crate that 50K was in. Use the sledge hammer to break open the crate but at that point the dry dock was filling up with disgusting water. Once he broke open the crate he had to use a wrench to open a box. The entire time he's doing this, The Rock is standing above him shouting "motivating" things like, "think of your family," OMG it was so annoying. Darnell ran out of time and was exhausted. While he didn't get the money...The Rock still called him a Hero. Doubt that made the guy feel better though.

NEWS & INFORMATION:

-The Gannett Company bought the Belo Television Station group for 1.5 billllion dollars, making them the 4th largest station ownership group in the US. 

-As you know, this blog is a Honey Boo Boo free zone, but I HAVE to mention this one because, I seriously thought my head was going to explode when I heard it. To celebrate the premiere of the new season of Honey Boo Boo, TLC's big idea is "Watch and Sniff".  10 million scratch and sniff cards will be distributed via People Magazine, Us Weekly, and other outlets and viewers will be able to get a whiff of the smells of the Boo Boo Family. I swear! I'm not lying. It's true! Can you believe that?  

-HBO renewed Vice for a 2nd season and MTV renewed Girl Code for a 2nd season...anyone watch those?

-Not looking good for Brooklyn DA...CBS moved it to Saturday's at 9 and you know what it means when any show is moved to Saturday night. Cancellation pending.

-The headline of the article said "All-Star Lineup of Judges Added to the 2013 Miss Usa Competition." So of course, I had to know who these "All Stars" were immediately.  After reading this list, would you classify ANY of these people as "All Stars"? Bob Harper, Betsey Johnson, NeNe Leakes, Wendie Malick, Jessica Robertson, Larry Fitzgerald, Nikki Bella, Mo Rocca, Christina Milian.  Any considered an All Star to you? I had to look up 4 of them.  All-Stars?  Will any of them get you to watch the show? COME ON DONALD? That's all you could get? 

Friday's Trivia Question: Who are Lily Tucker-Pritchett's Dads?
Reminder...there was an easy theme and a hard theme this week. 

Have a great weekend!

The Hero
Look, I'm desperate at this point. I needed a fix and guess what...I got one! 2 new shows to watch on TNT. One was actually pretty good and one was ridiculous, but both were fun to watch nonetheless.
First...The Hero. This one has Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the host. He's huge and sweats a lot. I guess it was 1000 degrees in Panama where they filmed the premiere episode. It literally looked like he was melting. Anyway, the rules of this reality show are a bit confusing, but I'll try to explain it. 9 strangers live in a crazy apartment in Panama on the 60th floor of a building. They have to compete in 2 challenges each episode. The first challenge is a team challenge BUT not everyone on the team participates. Only 6 play. The players left at home get secret calls from The Rock to meet him somewhere and he tempts them with money. They can take it and nobody would know or they can give it back. If they take it, there is a consequence.  After the first challenge the team nominates a Hero amongst them to participate in the solo challenge where they can win 50K or put it in the prize pool. I'm not sure why you wouldn't keep the money, but last nights guy didn't. Net/Net is that someone will be declared...The Hero and win all the money when the show is over.  I gotta tell you about this chick Patty. She was a crazy cryer. She  was asked to meet The Rock on the roof. This chick is nuts. She cried for the entire hour. Good crying, bad crying, scared crying...way too much crying. She's also afraid of heights. Not sure why a person with a crazy fear of heights goes on a show called The Hero, but as The Rock said, sometimes a person with a fear of heights who walks up a flight of stairs is also heroic. Eh...not to me, but I see his point.  I actually liked this show. I didn't give it a season pass...but depending on how things go, I just might. 

72 Hours
This show desperately wants to be Survivor. The host, Brandon Johnson (no relation to Dwayne...trust me) dresses like Jeff and looks a little like Jeff, but he's no Jeff. Jeff's the best in the biz. Brandon is over exuberant, a very into his job kinda guy. On this show, each week 9 different contestants break into 3 teams and have 72 Hours to find a suitcase that contains 100K.  They are dropped into the jungle with no food or supplies, only water. They can radio for supplies but then they get a 1 hour penalty. The show was stupid, the women all had breast implants and everyone on the show was miserable. I would be too. Do the math. 100K divided by 3 - taxes = about...18K. Not worth the torture in my opinion. No season pass for me.

NEWS & INFORMATION:

-On the premiere of Celebrity Wife Swap, Joan and Melissa Rivers are going to switch places with Sarah and Bristol Palin. (3 of these woman aren't anyones wives...just saying)  I've only watched that show once, but, seriously if Joan and Melissa are going to Alaska and shooting guns and and gutting fish, I gotta see it, I just have to. It's on June 23rd I'm setting the Tivo now. That has to be ridiculous.

-Okay, I just thought of a cool thing to invent...is there a DVR or something for content on the internet? Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee returns on 6/13 and I hope I remember, but lets say I didn't...wouldn't it be cool to have the ability to DVR it? Is that already invented? If it is can someone tell me how to do that? If it isn't, can someone invent it and give me 1/2 the money? It was my idea. 

-How happy are we that Showtime renewed Nurse Jackie for a 6th season? I just hope that Jackie stays sober. I really want her to be with Frank the cop and not back to the pills. I just have a feeling that this good news for all of us means bad news for Jackie and I'm hoping the writers don't put me through it all again. The lying, the cheating, the manipulations...oh...yeah, that's what got us hooked in the first place, right? Still...I need Jackie to stay clean. 

-I'm not a big Russell Brand fan. He seems like the kind of guy who never showers and always has dirty finger nails, so I've never watched Brand X and don't care that FX cancelled his show at all. 

-Do I have Reelz on my cable system? I better check. I'll do anything for an awards show. The Critics Choice Television Awards will be broadcast on Reelz on June 16th. I better look into that. 

-For all of you Game of Thrones fans...are you feeling a little anxious yet? I'm sure you all saw the videos of people watching last weeks episode and freaking out. I can only imagine what happens Sunday night. I'll be watching...let me know if you will be too.

Housekeeping note: I know a lot of you read the blog on your mobile devices. I just want to make sure you know that if you read it on a computer, you can see all the premiere and finale dates throughout the year on the right side of the posts. You can also see what I'm watching as well.  Just thought I'd mention that since a few people send me notes asking for these dates.  I always have them loaded to the left of the post.  

Friday's Trivia Question: It's Friday...so how about a Friday Night Lights Trivia Question? What was Tyra's sister's name on Friday Night Lights?  Who was she married to? (5 extra points) What was their babies name? (10 extra points)

I MISS FNL...BEST SHOW EVER

Have a great weekend!
