Sons of Anarchy
The day after the fire was a busy one for Samcro and their families. Jax took a tour of the club house and while everything was pretty much burned to a crisp, the table top and the gavel seemed salvageable. Thank god, all was truly not lost. More good news, Jax's sneakers remained pearly white after touring the destruction. He must have some special dirt repellent spray on those things. The gang preceded over to Gemma' house, gavel in tow, for a flip phone conference call with the Irish, who offered up a deal. Samcro will be out of guns but Clay's in. Then it was up to the woods for a NoCal charter meeting to tell the rest of the clubs of the new "No Gun"plan. Of course the boys couldn't enjoy a leisurely ride up north without some trouble along the way. Fake cops, scamming bikes, messed with the WRONG guys. Juice used the opportunity to cause some extra trouble, but they did take his bike, so they had it coming. Cool move jumping off the moving bike into the moving van. Up at the meeting, Bobby and his blue glasses surprised me and Jax with 3 new recruits for the Redwood charter. Guess he's not going nomad after all and that answers my question on how the Charming crew would find new guys to replace all the dead ones. Back in Charming, Gemma let Clay know what was going on outside the bars, let Eli and the DA know about Toric and met a transgender "friend" of Nero's who looked a lot like Steven Tyler. He/She had a pretty nice rack that even Gemma was impressed with. The DA offered Tara a deal if she turned on Jax, but of course she didn't take it, she'd rather divorce the guy and take his kids away because that's a better form of betrayal. The DA dumped the wig and went "ghetto" in hopes of playing hardball to bring down Samcro. On the way home from the big meeting, the boys knew exactly where to go to find Juice's bike and the fake cops who took it. Not too much damage done to them though. Juice got a new stolen bike, and a promise of no retaliation and better than anything else...apologies across the board for poor behavior. Just another day in (and out) of Charming. Damn I love this show.
The Goldbergs
I love escaping back to 1980whatever every week with The Goldbergs. The writers don't commit to any specific year which is pretty smart. I guess they learned from How I Met Your Mother not to do that ever again. This week I was reminded of The Dating Game, Luke and Laura and General Hospital and the Jerrold, long, brown cable box. You remember the one...when you pressed a few of the buttons together at the same time...you got scrambled PORN! Adam and Barry found it, bonded over it, became obsessed with it ,and then forgot about it and started watching Alf together instead. Erica, Sixx from Blossom's doppelganger, pretty much did nothing but babysit her brothers all episode, but who cares, SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE SIXX!!! Of course some sappy emotional stuff with Pops and Bev and his dead wife, but by episodes end, he was back to dating. I love the real photos and videos of the Goldberg family and I loved the version of Pete Townshend's "Let My Love Open The Door". The 22 minutes goes by too fast.Real Housewives Tell All Special (Part 1)...OY VEY There's a Part 2!!!
No there wasn't any major revelations in this "Tell All" Special, just more of the same. More footage that proved how stupid the housewives and their husbands are. Joe Giudice didn't know that Rhode Island was a state. Rosie didn't know that The Grand Canyon was in Arizona and Joe Gorga couldn't do 2nd grade math homework. So how they all have mega mansions, I'll never know. I can't even imagine they can count the money they're making, but they can obviously spend it. More parties with drama, a visit to Amish country for camel milk, Milania mayhem and a Manzo family photo shoot. Just another day in NJ.
NEWS & INFORMATION:
-Amy Poehler and Tina Fey will be hosting The Golden Globes again. If you remember, they were awesome last year. Probably the best thing about the show was them. Good move Hollywood Foreign Press.
-Elisabeth Hasselbeck must be in a pretttty good mood. In her first month co-hosting Fox & Friends, the program is up 16% in total viewers and 22% in A25-54 vs year ago. Last week F&F delivered their highest demo ratings of the year (if you don't count their coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing). In the "I told you so" section of the blog...Jenny McCarthy's not doing as well in Elisabeth's chair. All sort of negative feedback coming her way.
-Man Ashton Kutcher's raking it IN! Not bad for the guy who took over the lead on 2 1/2 Men. I mean, Charlie Sheen's gone, Angus is out and the shows not even number one anymore...not even close to number one and he made 24 million bucks this year. 2nd place goes to his co-star who's been working hard from day one on that show and earns 21million bucks this year. Surprisingly, Ray Romano, who's still getting paid big money for Everybody Loves Raymond but got a new gig on Parenthood, came in 3rd place with 16 million. There was a tie for 4th between Mark Harmon and Neil Patrick Harris who earned 15 million
-If you haven't been watching The White Queen on Starz, there's time to catch up before this Saturday nights finale. Starz will be running a marathon starting at 12N and ending with the finale. This is a good one to DVR and binge watch. Max Irons (Jeremy's son) is hot as King Edward and it's a really good show all around.
-Not sure why there were so many people illegally downloading The Walking Dead finale, but 500,000 people downloaded the show within a day of it airing. AMC streams the show for free on their site, maybe they should publicize that a bit more so they get the benefit of the traffic and not these illegal download sites.
