Hell's Kitchen

Ahh Hell's Kitchen is over.  Now what???

Bravo Betty White!

Ok, so I missed Saturday Night Live last night so I um...downloaded it this morning to have a looksie.  OMG it was awesome.  I phreaking loved the Crusty Muffin skit and when she came out in that Talk Show skit I had tears in my eyes.  The whole thing was done extremely well and my hats off to the tremendously talented Betty.

Commercial

This is by far my favorite commercial on TV right now. Always puts a smile on my face...no matter how many times I see it. Love the trailer on the back of the van too. LMAO.

I Survived a Japanese Game Show

I saw this last week and it's totally crazy. Part reality tv, part game show = cracked.

Happy Earth Day!

Disney Nature released their movie "Earth" today. I've seen a lot of trailers on The Discovery Channel and National Geographic lately. I'm looking forward to seeing this one. Sure it may be a little sugar coated as it is Disney that has it's paw print on it but I'm sure it will still look breathtaking on the big screen. Can't wait.

Wicked Wallpaper

I hooked my laptop up to the TV just now cause I'm going to watch a movie. Holy Smokes how blown away I was by the brilliance of the wallpaper. I mean the picture doesn't really do it too much justice but on my laptop it really does look gorgeous...but on the TV!!!! *thud* STUNNING...I could stare at it for hours! Instead I'm going to push play on Slumdog Millionaire.

The Electric Company

Ok ok, showing my age again. I saw Morgan Freeman on a movie last night and it reminded me of the time that I watched him on a kid's show growing up. There are a few familiar faces now that I look back at some of the videos they have on YouTube. This song sure brings back memories. My how times have changed though. This seems so cheesy now but I still absolutely love it! *s*

Hinterland Who's Who

I had my head turned from the television when I heard a sound I hadn't heard in a very long time. Hinterland Who's Who little tune chimed as I turned to face the TV. My heart instantly smiled as I watched a NEW version of the popular commercials of my childhood. I had no idea these were back on the air. I didn't realize how much I missed them. This is classic TV ladies and gentlemen. It really doesn't get any better than this.

Click on the website to hear that oh so famous tune! Doesn't it bring back memories???

Big Brother Overdose

What does one do when you're on call? Why, you catch up on the million episodes of Big Brother that have been recorded by your PVR of course. Talk about being behind in my reality tv fix. I think there were 10 episodes there. I've made it through a few tonight...four so far i think. It definitely helps when you don't have to watch the commercials but it is very apparent there sure are alot of ads on television nowadays. It wouldn't be bad if the commercials had a great "entertainment" value but sadly this is not the case 99% of the time. Usually the only time you are going to see great commercials is during the Superbowl. Speaking of the NFL...I cannot wait for the start of the Seattle Seahawks season next week. WOO HOO!!! Yup, addicted to reality tv AND the NFL. *s*

The Deadliest Catch

The last episode of the season is over tonight. They are finished with the crabbing for this year and they're all getting together to shoot the shit over some brewski's at the pub. I really love this show and I'm sad it's going to be over. Looking forward to next season already!

Long Live The Discovery Channel!

The Deadliest Catch

This is one of the best shows on the Discovery Channel. My favorite is Captain Sig on the Northwestern. If you ever get a chance you just gotta tune in and see the hard work that goes into getting the crabs for your feast! This is why it's so expensive in the restaurants. The next time I ever complain about a part of my job I should really think of these guys...in these boats on the ocean in the wind and cold!!! Well...that is when I GET a job. :-P

Reality Junkie

Ok, I admit it. I am totally a Reality TV Junkie. I've been watching Survivor from the start and I'm also a huge fan of Big Brother. We used to watch The Apprentice but have missed the last couple. Not enough hours in the day to keep up with everything. I always enjoy watching the dynamics and drama unfold before me. It always amazes me how some people still make crazy decisions, say unbelievable things or of course do what they do. *s*

Thank goodness for a little device called a PVR. *s*

Samsung 40" LCD HDTV

Well we finally did it. We purchased a new flat panel television. We've been looking for a few years now and finally bit the bullet and just did it. We are extremely pleased with it. Of course we picked up a Shaw HDPVR with it as well. In the store we almost went for the 46" as it was also on sale but it had the same specs as the 40" and that meant a clearer picture on the smaller screen. I am so thankful we stuck to our guns as the 40" is plenty big enough for our small space. The store shelves can be quite deceiving when you look at different sizes. Make sure you do your homework if you are looking to buy one! Optimal viewing for a 40-42 is to be approximately 8 feet away.
