T.V. shows 2010 Part 4

Wasn't yesterday's April Fool's post about Jesse James funny?  I don't normally like to laugh at someone else's misfortune, but let's face it, he deserves it.  What a douche.

On to t.v. updates!

Survivor - OMG I am soooooo pissed.  That idiot Evil Villains Tribe is decimating themselves and who will be left standing?  Cockroaches and Evil Russell, that's who.  Poor Boston Rob, he thought he knew where everyone stood regarding alliances, etc.  But no.  Well, now he can go home and be with Amber and their new baby.  I wonder if they get some sort of psychological counseling before they re-enter society?  Meanwhile over at the Heroes camp, way to step it up Colby!  I love that guy.  He is really an honorable person, isn't he?

AR - I was truly sad to see Jeff & Jordan go.  Especially going BEFORE that idiot Caite and her boyfriend!  Those two are so dumb and so mean to each other!  And our poor little cowboys are now in last place.  Come on cowboys!  You can do it!

Saving Grace - You could have knocked me over with a feather when I looked at my dvr list and there was a brand new Saving Grace episode.  I had no idea that it was starting back right now.  I had read somewhere that they are going to wrap things up this season and finish it.  And the way Grace is going it sure looks to be that way.  I have really enjoyed this series.  Way to go Holly Hunter!  Go out on a high note!

Real World DC - They finished up yet another boring season of RW.  Even though this was the typical young people acting like fools, drinking too much, hooking up too much, NEVER CLEANING!, etc, they stepped out a bit by showing them doing some good work at non-profits and trying to pursue some career avenues.  And I loved the ending where they showed a lot of photos of them in the house and around town. That was really nice.

Now let me back track for just one minute.  What is the deal with the non-cleaning?  There are eight people living under one roof and they are all slobs?  Not one of them want to clean up after themselves.  Not one of them think they should take out the garbage.  They are getting to live in a fabulous house that they would otherwise never get to see, much less live in and the best they can do is trash it and act like fools?  Shame on them.  I bet their mamas are all embarrassed.

Castle - Wow.  Just wow.  They are really getting interesting on this show.  It is so good.  And I love that Nathan Fillian (sp???) He is a doll!  His mama and his daughter are wonderful.  It is a great show.

Modern Family - Hands down, this is the best new show on t.v.  Hysterical.  Love, love, love it!

Tool Academy - Praise the Lord!  Ding Dong the witch is dead!!  Hooray that nasty Jennavecia is gone! I don't like her.  I didn't ever believe a word that came out of her mouth.  I never trusted her motives for being there.  And the longer I watched it the more I was concerned about Kyle's sanity and good sense.  I think that boy might not be right.  What could he possibly be thinking?  Run, Kyle, Run!!!

Breaking Bad - the new season has come back with a vengeance!  You just can never tell what is going to happen next.

United States of Tara - new season just started back up.  And after several months of no alters showing themselves, Buck is back!  And Buck has the hots for Joey Lauren Adams!  Poor Tara just "thinks" she has never had sex with a woman before.  She might not have, but Buck is certainly getting busy and using her body!

Biggest Loser - No real surprises on who goes home.  However . . . .   Can you even believe that they brought back that Evil Woman from Texas?  Gawd, how it shames me that Melissa is from Texas!  There's another one that makes me question Lance's sanity.  She is just Bad News Bears, is what she is.

I know I am forgetting something really good.  But my brain is just only retaining a certain amount of information.  This is mostly due to 1/2 of it being pre-occupied with Ernest T. Bass and his continual barking at The Colonel!  If he doesn't STFU I am going to squirt him in the face with the water bottle!  Ye Gads!  Shut Up Ernest T.!  Flea bag dog.

Now that I said something negative about Ernest T, I have to say a positive to even out the karma.  My friend Debra has a cute little dog named Ronald who goes by the name of Ronnie.  Anyhoo, she takes Ronnie to classes on Saturday to learn agility and stuff that keeps his little brain occupied so that he doesn't get into trouble.  That's how it is with these overly smart dogs.  So she was showing me that Ronnie can twirl and "touch".  This is what you do when you want them to learn to touch your hand with their nose.  Then you can gradually move up to putting your hand on light switches and having them turn them on and off.  Things of that nature.

So yesterday I decided that Ernest T. is certainly smart enough to learn to do that.  I don't think he would like to learn to twirl, but he could do "touch".  We sat down with a box full of small treats and I showed him what I wanted him to do.  For 30 minutes he resisted (like he always does because he is the most stubborn dog on the planet) and then all the sudden the light bulb went on and he touched my hand. I moved my hand higher and higher and he still does it just right.  We switch back and forth between "Shake" and "touch" and he never misses.  Isn't he the most clever boy you ever heard of?  Clever and a bark-aholic, but still very clever.  : )

Today is Good Friday and I wish you all a very happy Easter weekend filled with the joy of the holiday and lots of family to share it with.  Oh, and some eggs and some Peeps!!

  1. I know this isn't a post about obits, but this is my paper this morning. Look!

    "Ruiel M. "Count" Roberts, 89, a lifelong resident of Poughkeepsie, NY, passed away on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at Vassar Bros Medical Center followed by a courageous battle with his health."

    Doesn't sound like his health wanted him to die just yet!

  2. I can't comment on the tv shows, except for Modern Family. Dear Me, that is one funny show! Oh and that husband and his Ipad! "It's like Steve Jobs and God got together and did this for my birthday." Oh, that is so my husband!

    Can you come over and train my pups? I'm looking for something, anything at this point.

  3. @Paula - I would say that was "awkwardly worded" at best! Love it. I really love that Ruiel M. went by the name of Count. If newspapers still employed good proofreaders that horrible little obit would have been edited to death. (death! Ha!!)

    @Joann - On Modern Family, the minute the wife sat down on that couch I knew there was going to be trouble with a capital T!!!

    What on earth makes you think I could do a better job on your pup-a-doodle-doos than you? Remember the story where my two older dogs are pissing away my hardwood floors? Just cause I have that young Ernest T. buffaloed into thinking he has to do what I say, doesn't mean squat. I could bring him and see if they would follow his lead. Maybe they would do what he does just because he is a big, buff, strong and handsome lad? Your girls seem to be the ditzy drifty types who might buy in to that!! : )

  4. Jennavecia was a total mess. The graduation episode was such a boring letdown compared to the rest of the season. I struggle with Tool Academy because they get rid of the most interesting "characters" and whittle down to the most boring. That seems backwards. Andrea and I decided that when the tools get sent off, they should go to the neighboring bachelor pad and film a show there that would get MORE interesting as time progressed ;)

    Biggest Loser - geez, could the Texas girl be any more annoying?! no... she could not...

    I can't wait to meet Ernest T. We have got to be planning our trip down there.... I'm thinking it might be June/July, which I know are the ideal months to go to San Antonio....
