The New Kids must be so disappointed

Watched a (new?) episode of Punk’d and I must say, a) Simon Cowell wears the most ridiculously too small t-shirts ever, and Ashton imitating that was HYSTERICAL; and b) little Olivia from the Cosby Show has gained quite a bit of weight, no? I couldn’t stop cracking up when the fake cop kept calling her Rudy Huxtable.

Additionally, I am OUTRAGED that Joey McIntyre got booted off Dancing with the Stars last nite! Although I guess it’s irrelevant because John Hurley is totally going to win the whole competition anyway.

Btw, Chris’ talking pimple on Family Guy this week? GROSS!

How has this show survived 16 seasons?

Real World Austin is upon us and already I hate most of the housemates. However, that being said, Danny from Massachusetts is a pretty good looking guy, too bad he is probably a BoSox fan, and also probably a man whore, based on his actions in the first episode. He also thinks Melinda is gorgeous, and I disagree. But then again, she makes out with another one of the girls, Rachel, within the first 15 minutes or so of the season, so I guess that does make her kind of hot. Or at least makes all the guys think she’s kind of hot. Which if by “hot” we really mean “skanky” then yes, she’s hot.

I wonder if MTV knows that every time they do another season of Real World it’s just an excuse for another seven person orgy. Oh, of course they know – that’s why they do it.

Oh, and Danny isn’t so good looking anymore after he gets punched in the face by random guy at the bar and ends up with a really f-ed up eye socket. Man, way to pace yourself through a whole season of Real World adventures.

the tv draught continues

Did anyone watch the premiere of I Want to Be a Hilton? It makes me very angry that NONE of the contestants, including the one who lives in NY, knew what the 21 Club was. Gosh, what a bunch of IDIOTS! And the asian girl who won’t stop singing? Out of control. These contestants are all a bunch of monkeys. I love it.

And I cannot even tell you how much I enjoy watching Joey McIntyre and John Hurley in Dancing With the Stars. Pure entertainment! Who wants to take dance lessons with me?

need shows to watch

Sorry for the lack of blogging guys. Aside from the fact that I have actually been busy at work *gasp* my blog dies a slow and tragic death, but it’s not my fault that the only things worth watching on tv right now are Entourage and Family Guy. But I do rather enjoy Dancing With the Stars and Hell’s Kitchen. I liked The Cut the first week I watched it but quickly got tired of it after 1) a contestant named Princess tried to ghetto-fabulous a navigator by decking the entire inside with fur, and 2) they let the gay guy go to the People’s Choice Awards as a red carpet reporter and he didn’t know the names of ANY of the celebrities.

OH, Fire Me Please. Please watch, people. Pure entertainment, and it’s my dream to do what these people do – who wouldn’t want to work at a clothing store and walk around singing showtunes all day? Getting to know you, getting to know all about you...

Real World Austin here I come.

Reality Overload

I thought it was really tragic that Joey McIntyre had stooped to doing a reality show like Dancing with the Stars, but I can’t help but find myself rooting for him. I hope it’s him vs. J Peterman in the finale. Has anyone seen Mad Hot Ballroom? Between watching that movie and now watching this show, I am quickly learning that I want ballroom dancing lessons. Anyone know how to do the Quick Step?

Oh, and Fire Me Please!? These people are my heroes. They are giving me great ideas on how I might try to get myself fired.

Aren't there ANY good shows out there for me to watch? Even I cannot take this much reality tv.

Summer TV Sucks

Okay, I think my blog is dying a slow and torturous death here, mainly because there are NO good shows on anymore and quite frankly, I think I’m the only one watching any of these really bad new reality shows. For example, last night was the premiere of The Scholar, where high school smarty pants compete for a scholarship to a “prestigious university” and are judged by a Randy-Paula-Simon-like “scholarship committee.” Lame.

The only honorable mention is Entourage, which started up again this weekend, but I haven’t watched it yet. I’ve also got some new Lisa Kudrow show on deck, but that lady has zero range in her acting abilities so I’m not holding high hopes for that show.

People need to start telling me which shows I should be watching and writing about, or I may have to put an end to the torture. Let’s face it, I am probably the only one who gives a crap about Dancing with the Stars. In the meantime, I’ve got OC reruns to keep me occupied. Anyone want to hear about The Harbour High School Kickoff Carnival?

Back to your regularly scheduled programming

I’m back from my break and my goodness I don’t even know where to start. Someday you should ask me about my trip to California and the traumatizing events that took place within the first hour after I landed in San Jose. This is all after my adventurous long weekend that I spent drunk and/or hungover more than 50% of the time. I think it’s all probably more entertaining than my tv blog. But this is a tv blog, and not Cindy’s Diary, so back to business.

I checked out a bunch of the new reality shows over the weekend, and here are my thoughts:

Hell’s Kitchen: Watching Gordon Ramsey torture these wannabe chefs is almost painful. But not as painful as watching him torture the customers too during the so-called grand opening of the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant. I know that all reality shows have some elements of being totally staged, but really, could this show be any more scripted?
Dancing with the Stars: My guilty pleasure reality show for the summer. I totally get a kick out of watching celebrities learn to dance and then compete against each other. Slightly ashamed that Joey McIntyre has stooped to this level, but hey, more entertainment for me. I mean, Joey McIntyre, John Hurley (aka J. Peterman), Trista… this is an all-star cast here. My only problem with this show is that it is hosted the America’s Funniest Home Videos guy, and he just irks me.

Hit Me Baby One More Time: Simply awful. I can’t even expend any more energy talking about it.

Beauty and the Geek: Quite possibly going to be the funniest new reality show of the summer. The collection of beauties and geeks they found to participate on this show are in a class of their own. The hotties are hot but stupid, and we’ve got everything from a lingerie model to a dancer for the Sixers to a “life size Barbie model.” I swear. On the geek side, there are Mensa members (Jeff Jacobsen anyone?), the guy who has never kissed a girl, and the Vice President of the Dukes of Hazzards Fan Club. I kid you not. I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.

The beauties and the geeks pair up and each week the geek/beauty couples compete against each other in ridiculous challenges. For week one, the girls are tested on 5th grade material (such as naming 3 states that start with the word “New” – and believe it or not, she was only able to come up with one) and the guys are tested on their dancing skills. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so much.

There’s even some scandal for those of you who are into that. One of the hotties develops a crush on one of the geeks that she is not paired up with and ends up making out with him. This of course causes raging jealousy with the geek she IS paired up with. The drama!

This is some seriously entertaining stuff guys, you really should watch, it’s a good time. What else did we expect from the guy who brought us Punk’d?
