WWTM Last Night
I had high expectations for myself last night which was probably dumb considering I know what happens to me on Sunday's after Pilates class, but I fooled myself into thinking I could watch everything I wanted to and only lasted midway through Celebrity Apprentice...
Another super juicy episode of Once Upon a Time last night. It was Snow's birthday and at first we weren't sure why she hated her birthday so much, but then, we were taken back in time, before her eyebrows went wacko, to the birthday when she was about receive her crown as a kid. Mrs. Patmore from Downton Abbey was Snow's Mom's assistant back then. While everyone was getting ready for the big party, Snow's Mom got really sick. Snow went to the blue fairy because like Obi Wan Kenobi...she was her "only hope". Blue offered her a special candle to save her Mom's life, but if she used it she'd have to kill someone else and she just couldn't do that because she, like Luke Skywalker is filled with GOOD not evil. So her Mom died on her birthday, total bummer. Back in Storybrook, Snow and Eric needed to find Gold's dagger before Regina and her psychotic Mom, Cora found it. They called Gold in NYC and he tells them that the dagger is on the clock hand in the town square. Great hiding spot, but as soon as Snow and Eric got the dagger, Cora and Regina showed up, took the dagger, ripped Mrs. Patmore's heart out and killed her, and revealed that Cora killed Snow's Mom. Snow freaked out and decided that she's going to the dark side and she's going to kill Cora. (I'll believe it when I see it). In NYC, Hook showed up and attacked Mr. Gold with the hook that he got back from the Sheriff's office. He poisoned Gold and disappeared. So now the gang needs to get Gold back to Storybrook. Before they all leave, Neil revealed more big news...he's engaged...roll credits.
All during Once Upon a Time I kept seeing the ads for Red Widow and thought I might want to check it out, but my son really wanted to watch Celebrity Apprentice, so that's what we did. Of course he fell asleep, because other than Gary Busey's insanity, it was same old, same old. Donald's hair, Lisa Rinna's lips, Brett's headband/hat combo, Omarosa's nastiness, seriously...it was so boring that I fell asleep midway through and have no idea who got voted out. (I'll read about it later).
I did wake up and hate watched Girls this morning. The good news is the show is only 22 minutes the bad news is, I hate it more and more with every episode but can't stop watching it. At least this weeks episode didn't have any hideous nakedness, or anyone peeing or pooing, but now if Hannah wasn't awkward enough, she's so stressed about her book deal that she is counting to 8 for everything because she apparently has crazy OCD. She had it in high school and...it's back...OY. Shoshannah's side ponytail was hideous but apparently not to the doorman of her friends building so they got it on in 10 seconds flat. Marnie was crazy jealous that Charlie has moved on and is doing great and now she wants to sing (which she actually can do rather well...Allison Williams is the whole package, I bet Brian and her Mom are SO proud). Adam is apparently an alcoholic and went on a date with the chick from Life Unexpected who lost a lot of weight, grew out her hair and looks AWESOME now. I freaking hate this show. I think I only have 2 more episodes of hell left.
So now, I need to catch up The Bible, Vikings and Red Widow. Let me know if you guys watched any of these and if any or all of them require my immediate attention. I'm so annoyed with myself.
NEWS & INFORMATION
-I got home on Friday and found out about Bonnie Franklin passing away. Bonnie played Ann Romano on one of my all time favorite shows as a kid...One Day at a Time. One Day at a Time was the first show on TV that reflected a family like mine. My parents were divorced, I lived with my Mom and my sister in an apartment building and we dealt with life. We didn't have Schneider, we had various Superintendents over the years. But Ann Romano was like my Mom and I loved that there was a family like mine on TV. I was really sad to hear of her passing. When you have a connection like that with a show, it hurts a bit when you hear this kind of news. When Carol Brady goes I just may have to take to my bed. Anyway, Thanks for everything Bonnie...RIP. This ones for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nJ4K4UebxA
-Another rumor that will most likely be true...Heidi Klum will be a 4th judge added to the America's Got Talent team. She'll be joining Howard Stern, Howie Mandel and Mel B. I'm not a big fan of 4 judges at all, I've already declared that as much as I love Howard and want to support him, I won't be watching this one this time. I will be watching his wife's new show though...see below.
-Beth Stern, Howard's wife, has a new show coming out on April 20th on Nat Geo Wild (I hope I have this network on my lovely cable system) called Spoiled Rotten Pets. Here's why I'm going to watch: 1) Howard's going to watch, he's going to talk about it and I need to know what he's talking about. since I am a loyal listener. 2) I need to support Beth, she's actually tweeted me back every time I've ever asked her a question on Twitter. 3) I love animals, well, most of them anyway. 4) I know a lot of people that spoil their animals and they are nuts. 4) If I ever have dinner with Howard and Beth I want to be able to offer some thoughts, ideas, notes etc. 5) Since I'm not watching AGT this season, I need to make it up to him somehow.
Lots of buzz all over the place this weekend about NBC possibly announcing at the upfront in May that Jay Leno's contract won't get renewed and my FBFF will take the helm when it expires. While I would be thrilled for him, (especially since I hate Jay) I'll believe it when I see it. At this point, even with the addition of Jimmy Kimmel to the 11:30 time slot, Jay's still holding his own as much as I hate to admit it. He's obviously got a loyal following albeit and older one, and I've always heard that Jay's not the retiring type, but maybe he's ready now or maybe NBC's ready to get some balls and just do it already. Maybe he'll go and do some special niche shows about his car collection or his motorcycle collection or maybe he and Mavis will do a reality show or something. Who knows. All I know is that I will do anything I can to support Jimmy for the job if it becomes available. I guess though, that if that does happen, he'll NEVER have time for a sleepover. It's the price of success, I'll deal.
-ABC pulled Zero Hour already...three strikes and their out. I never watched it so no idea if it was actually good or not. I still think that pilots and series that get pulled etc. should all get their own channel on YouTube or on the networks or the production companies websites. How cool would it be if a network let the viewers help program a season? I'd take it really seriously and I bet other people would too. Even if it was a disaster, it would be great fun, great press and the true power of the people could be heard. Let us program a night or something...think about it guys! You paid for these things...let them see the light of day somewhere. -The CW is bringing back Whose Line is it Anyway. Aisha Tyler is going to be the host, and Ryan Stile, Wayne Brady an Colin Mochrie are all coming back along with a "special guest" each week. I didn't love Whose Line the first go around, but if memory serves it did okay, so who knows what will happen this time.
-I really need to talk to Andy Cohen. It's total BS that Adrienne and Camille are both not attending the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion special. If they sign the contract to get paid for the entire season, that should include the reunion special. Camille not being their isn't the biggest deal in the world, but Adrienne not being there is huge. A lot of the drama this season was her doing and the audience is owed her attendance. Andy...DO SOMETHING!
-O'Brien's out too? WTF Downton Abbey? First Lady Sybil (Cybil whatever spelling at this point), then Matthew, and now freakin O'Brien? OMG. I hope season 4 isn't the season that jumps the shark. The guy they find to mend Lady Mary's heart better be off the charts or I'm going to...ehhhh I'm going to watch until it dies...who am I kidding?
Monday's Trivia Question: As a tribute to Bonnie Franklin, at least one trivia question...so...Ann had 2 pretty long term boyfriends during the run of the show. Can you name either of them? (1 point for each). Bonus question: One of them had a son, can you name him? 10 point bonus if you know the actors real name WITHOUT GOOGLING IT!
