TV Right Now: The good, the bad and the totally sucky

[Tony_]

... for the second time a FEMALE "other" escaped from the grimm? First Monroe's gal pal and now the grimm's stalker. What does it say about "their" world? The males end up dead and the women live to fight another day....

 It says the writers are female   .  Anyway, the promo for next week suggests the females are part of a plan to take out the grimm.

April :  A blutbad is a werewolf-like critter in the tv show Grimm.  It's an almost tongue-in-cheek monster series, with excellent cinematography, set in (for whatever reason) Portland, Oregon. One of the actors said it was a metaphor for what people can be really like, as only the grimm can see them as they are.
 Some of the various critters have eaten babies, and even bunny rabbits.  But I've noticed, never puppies.  Connecting the dots, this suggests to me that they admire canines, and so, perhaps, are aware of Doodler and her doggie business and are therefore quiet admirers.  They may even have done some genealogical research on her, but no proof there.  It was by connecting these, admittedly, far-spaced dots, that I have wondered if Doodler could use some of her influence to aim them at Colton.

Should I prove correct, we must hope for moderator intervention to discourage similar usage on forum members  .

Sounds like Doodler has the best chance for Colton eradication...  just sayin'

I DO have a habit of making people disappear, but only in my own life. When I'm done, I'm done... I simply don't see or hear them ever again. Even if the object of my dissatisfaction lives in my house. Several xhusbands would be willing to testify to that.
But it doesn't help other people who haven't mastered the art of

  I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW it !!! As it happens, I have a list.  Do you accept PayPal  ?

did y'all already talk about Fashion Star, it starts on NBC on Tuesday...it's a little different than PR, they have mentors (Jessica Simpson, Nichole Richie and some other guy) and also a lot of help, pattern makers, sewing help in addition to hair and make-up help.

In the end, one designer will successfully combine fashion and business to become the next Fashion Star and will receive the prize of a lifetime - $6,000,000 in orders for capsule collections in Macy's, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue stores.



I loved the first 4 season of PR and the great designers they had, Austin Scarlett, Santino and Andre, and Chole, and Jay & Wendy (remember them, can't believe I do)

I'm glad it's on network tv, i'll check it out.

Cash only. And lots of it.

I liked The Heidi and Tim Show myself when I had cable. The previews for Fashion Star look interesting... I like it that the mentors (?) BUY their designers. At least, that's the way it looks. BUT Tuesdays are pretty full with NCIS at 8 and the wonderful-even-if-it's-not-my-usual-cup-of-tea-show The River at 9. Ten is open, however, and I think that is Fash/tar's normal time slot (after next week.)

Saturdays are great right now as well even if they are now starting with Harry's Law reruns at 8. I'm loving The Firm right after and since I don't watch L&O any other time, I get to see fairly recent episodes at 10. Ice-T is becoming one of my favorite people in the world! His reality show with his wife may be exceptionally well edited, but I don't care. He's a class act. Much better than his brother, Mister.

I know this will only apply to British Brokies, (and Italian ones too, but they will have seen it years ago), but is anyone else totally addicted to Inspector Montalbano which is on BBC 4 on Saturday evenings?
Mr Janjo and I can't get enough of it.
The ones they are showing now, go back to 1999, but I unerstand from Wikipedia that they have been making about 4 episodes a year right up until 2010.
It is about a Scicillian police inspector, and the scenery, and the leading man are awesome.
We are completely hooked.

We love it!! I've read most of the books (in English) and get fairly bemused by the plots in the books and the TV, but that doesn't bother me at all .

I think it was Daniela who first told me about them.

I've checked Wednesday schedules for the next couple weeks.
 8 o'clock is a desert as devoid of entertainment as a boxing match.

THE MIDDLE is worth watching.

...watching...

On the other hand, THURSDAYS are about to be non stop... Missing, Touch and Awake in that order.

Unless you watch Big Bang Theory, Wipeout, Person of Interest and The Mentalist...in that order!

It is 7pm for us in AZ.  I think it is the weirdest thing ever to start Primetime TV at 7pm.  Do other states do it?

Central Time states all start at 7pm all year long.  When I was growing up the
ads would always say, "8 pm, 7 Central" etc.

...watching...

Hmmm, she thinks just like Rush...


Patricia Heaton, star of The Middle, tweeting about Sandra Fluke, calling her G-Town Gal:


Patricia Heaton, an outspoken conservative, sent a series of Tweets to about 70,000 Twitter followers she calls "Tweatons":

"Hey G-Town Gal: Plz let us also pay for your Starbucks, movie theater tickets and your favorite hot wings combo deal at KFC! Anything else?"

"Hey G-Town Gal: If your parents have to pay for your birth control, maybe they should get a say in who you sleep with! Instant birth control!"

Yes..I do remember that now!  I guess we need more sleep in the central states!  Lol!

Oh that is marvellous. I am so glad it is not just us. I was looking at the books on Amazon today, I think I will give them a go.

SNL, anyone?
