Hart of Dixie
I love Hart of Dixie, you guys know I do. I'm not sure who out there even watches this one, so not sure if my whining today even matters, but the whole show has gone back and forth countless times. George and Zoey then Zoey and Wade and the problem is, I love her with both of them. Every time the time is right, she screws things up. Last week Zoey told George she still had feelings for him and he blew her off because he was happy with Tanzy. This week Zoey had a meltdown and ended up in bed with Wade and it looks like next weeks finale is just like last nights episode. George is going to walk in on Zoey free from Tanzy and Zoey's in bed with Wade. Oy vey...enough already. Pick one and move on already. I can't take the back and forth anymore.The Voice 2nd night of knockout rounds, but unfortunately, also the second night of the same judges outfits. We've been watching The Voice for like two months already and the judges have only changed outfits 3x I think. Drives me nuts, even though I totally understand why they do it. It didn't matter that the clothes were boring tonight, because I spent the show going back and forth for how much I love Adam vs. how much I love Blake. I know why they are in the midst of a major bromance...because they're both hot and they're both hilarious. So while I did keep track of all of the knockout rounds, does anyone even care. The show's about the judges. The show is about how hot Adam and Blake are, how cool Usher is and how suprisingly refreshing Shakira is. Did you see when Usher made Audrey sing right into his face while stared at her. That was brutal. I love Usher. Justin Rivers knocked out Savannah Berry on Team Blake-I disagreed Josiah Holly knocked out Jess Kellner on Team Usher-I agreed Holly Tucker knocked out Luke Etchman on Team Blake- I agreed Michelle Chamul knocked out Audrey Karrasch on Team Usher-I completely agreed Danielle Bradbury knocked out Taylor Beckam on Team Blake-I agreed Vedo knocked out C Perkins on Team Usher-I completely agreed Swon Brothers knocked out Grace Askew on Team Blake-I agreed and I love them Katya knocke out Ryan Innis on Team Usher-I disagreed NEWS & INFORMATION:

-KSL-TV in Salt Lake City already had issues with Saturday Night Live, then earlier this year, they dropped The New Normal and now they've decided not to air Hannibal.

The station is owned by the Church of the Latter Day Saints, so they can and have made these decisions before.
