So I've joined my coworkers and am now blogging again. I have another blog about my dreams.. which I need to start writing for again, especially now that I have so much free time…. Anyways. I've started listening to Television shows while I've been working on the Daily Racing Form. I have to say, its much more interesting than listening to NPR, not to mention, after a day of NPR, you pretty much run out of stories to listen to unless you go through their archives. Only the news section has updates everyday and after an hour or 2 you've gone through all of those. So I've been catching up on some TV shows that I would occasionally catch bits and pieces of when I was dating Nik.
So here's the run down for this week in television.
Ugly Betty - Very entertaining at the moment. Betty's story line is alright, but the story of Wilhelmina trying to sire an heir to the Meade fortune (by getting semen from her almost fiancé’s dead body at the morgue) happens to much more entertaining. There is a new twist to that plot, Wilhelmina has a hostile womb and has to have a surrogate. Enter Christina McKinney. She is the fashion designer/tailor that works at Mode. She needs a ton of money to help her husband (who has never been mentioned in the series until now) to have some new experimental surgery to save his life and has run out of options (mostly because her plans to sell a mint-vintage Jackie O dress on the black market was foiled by Wils...). So she is gonna be the surrogate for Wilhelmina even though she doesn't know that the late Bradford Meade is the sperm donor.
American Gladiators - Or as I like to call it, "The Campiest Show on TV". All you need to know is that there is a gladiator on there named Hellga (Robin Coleman), a 6'1", 205 lb behemoth. LOVE HER. She has this blond (not natural) hair that has been braided into two uniform braids that fall on each side of chest. She's awesome and the crowd goes wild when she pummels the contestants. Oh there's also been drama.. apparently 'militia' has done gay porn and there is some sort of scandal of why the producers of the show didn't know this before they hired him and shot the season.
Chuck - This happens to be my favorite show at the moment that is actually still coming out with new episodes (Heroes is still #1). Don't ask me how they still have new shows to run what with the writer's strike and all, but yeah for them. They showed two (count um 1. 2.) new shows yesterday. The first was "Chuck Vs. the Undercover Lover". It was a decent episode, not the best I've seen thus far, but interesting none-the-less. They explored more of Casey's character, who is the nose-to-the-grindstone secret agent who I think is NSA (or is it CIA).... Who knows? Anyways, they made him look a lil more human in this episode by bringing in an old flame of his who also happens to be a spy.. just for the French. The other Episode, "Chuck Vs. the Marlin" was really funny. Basically this small renegade outfit within the CIA want to find the Intersect (basically Chuck) and bugged the store that Chuck works at to get information. Well that + the crazy people on the nerd squad that chuck works with = good television. This will be a show I will buy on DVD when it comes out.
Late Night With Conan O’Brien - Without his writer's, Conan has had to definitely be more creative with his shows. Some things work, others not. I do like that he has been doing segments where viewers have sent in their artwork for various ideas on his show and he does them. I find it very cool. However the whole bit on spinning his ring and going for longest time is about a snooze. OH, the whole setting up a maze that his guests have to go through is hilarious... I just think the maze should be larger and harder.
yeah.... can't think of anything else to post about right now....
So get out of here or I’ll drop a house on you too..
