Go Away Pat Houston

Sunday is my worst dvr day, so much on television.  Somehow I watch/dvr (in no particular order) Game of Thrones, The Killing, Nurse Jackie, The Big C, Housewives of NJ (or Atlanta, I don’t watch OC), The Borgias, and Mob Wives (Reunion tonight!).  Also, tonight is Tom Selleck’s Jessie Stone, AND the Billboard Music Awards (both dvr’d as well).  Oh, and Celebrity Apprentice.  As much as I like Arsenio, Clay deserves the win.  But, that’s not even on my list, so I’ll find out tomorrow.

I want to see the awards because of the Whitney Houston tribute.  But, this crazy itch, Pat Houston is all in the middle of it.  It’s not bad enough that she is trying to make a reality show out of Whitney’s death.  But, now she is bullying Bobbi Kristina because Billboard wants to give Whitney’s award to Bobbi K, and Pat wants to accept it.

PAT HOUSTON IS A NOBODY, GO AWAY ALREADY!  You have ZERO rights to get anything.  Bobbi is her daughter.  Heck,Whitney’s mother, Cissy Houston, has more of a right to do this than you do!  Bobbi needs to run hard and fast away from this psychobitch, and please, please, PLEASE don’t do that stupid reality show with her.

Fall 2012 – NBC New Shows – Scared to Hope

NBC has let me down so many times before (The Event, Alcatraz, The Firm, Harry’s Law).  I’m REALLY pissed about the last three.  You didn’t even put Harry’s Law on NBC on Demand or Hulu!  Idiots!  Anyway, I’m really scared to get into any of their shows because they’re such a cocktease.  They get you all hot and happy about a show, then they screw you over by cancelling it, moving it against something that has been in its top spot for YEARS, giving it a hiatus then coming back with big WTFs by changing the formats and all the other stuff.  And to think there was a time when NBC battled ABC for top spot.  Now its ABC vs. CBS.  NBC is what CBS used to be.   I mean there as a time when if you told me something was on CBS I automatically tuned out because I knew it sucked.  Sorry for the rant.

So, it boils down to 12 shows.  Four hates, four neutrals and four likes.  And, even the ones I really like, I’m just waiting for NBC to go “Hey Stupid, we got you again!  We’re going to ruin it because that’s how we roll!”

1600 Penn – A comedy about the President and his family.  Eh.  Starring Bill Pullman and Jenna Elfman.  Mid season replacement.  Hmm

Animal Practice – A vet who loves animals and hates the owners.  Um.  No.  Really.  No.  Only good thing is it stars Justin Kirk (Andy from Weeds).  Wednesdays, 8 p.m.  BLEH

Chicago Fire – Well, I guess we have our fair share of doctors, cops and lawyers.  So why not the fire department?  Don’t have a feeling one way or the other on this.  Eammon Walker (Oz) stars in it.  Wednesdays, 10 p.m. Hmm

Do No Harm – A neurosurgeon with an evil alter-ego finds out that the superduper serum that keeps his evil side hidden isn’t working anymore.  With Phylicia Rashad. Winter 2013 mid season replacement –  Yay

Go On – Matthew Perry stars as a widowed sportcaster who goes to therapy. Ho hummmmmmmm, meh.  Doesn’t sound funny at all.  Tuesdays, 9 p.m. BLEH

Guys with Kids – Three fathers with children.  I was kinda ehh on this one, until I realized it had Anthony Anderson, Vanessa Bledsoe, and Jamie-Lynn Sigler.  Wednesdays, 8:30 p.m. Yay (First Pick)

Hannibal – Books/movies brought to television.  FBI criminal profiler (male) works with Hannibal Lecter.  This should be interesting.  It was great as movies, but can they keep it interesting every week?  I like the idea.  Here’s hoping they don’t screw it up.  Mid season 2013.  Yay

Infamous – Meagan Good returns to her hometown to investigate the murder of her childhood BFF.  Also starring Victor Garber.  I like, I’ll watch.  And, I’ll probably watch it get cancelled.  Mid season replacement Yay

Next Caller – Male DJ hates the idea of having a female co-host.  Yuk Yuk, that’s so funny.  NOT!  The only plus is Jeffrey Tambor is in it.  Mid season replacement BLEH

The New Normal – Woman becomes a surrogate for a gay couple.  Two gay guys, surrogate, surrogate’s daughter and grandmother.  All one big happy family?  Stars Ellen Barkin as the grandmother.  I’ll give it a chance  Tuesdays, 9: 30 p.m. Hmm

Revolution – Fifteen years after a world-wide blackout, a world tries to revive.  Giancarlo Esposito is in this!  Yummy!  I could watch it just for him.   Monday’s 10 p.m. Hmm

Save Me – Anne Heche almost dies, hears God and believes He wants her to communicate to everyone else.  I don’t care if Lamann Rucker is in it.  Just.  NO.    Mid season replacement – BLEH

Fall 2012 – CW New Shoes – Huge Fail

After checking out the new shows from the Fall 2012 season, I’m left with a big pffft for the CW.  After cancelling two of my shows (Ringer and Secret Circle), only one show from this group even remotely interests me.  AND it doesn’t premiere until January!  I still have my 90210, Vampire Diaries and Nikita.

Arrow – I guess Superman’s Smallville did so well, they’re trying again with The Green Arrow.   Katie Cassidy from Harper’s Island will be in it.  I liked Harper’s Island.  But, not enough to do the superhero thing.  Wednesdays, 8 pm.  BLEH

Beauty and the Beast – Haven’t we done this one before?  Thursdays, 9 pm.  BLEH

The Carrie Diaries – Carrie Bradshaw growing up in the 80s.  Besides that being my era, I loved Sex and the City.  So I’ll be watching.  Of course, if I get hooked on it like Ringer and Secret Circle, it will get cancelled.   Monday’s, 9 pm.  January mid-season replacement YAY (First Pick)

Cult – A production assistant and a blogger go about investigating disappearances and possibly a murder.  They think psycho fans of the show are responsible.  January mid-season replacement  BLEH

Emily Owens, M.D or First Cut – Zap 2 IT calls it Emily Owens, MD and TV Guide calls it First Cut.  Geeky girl graduates and becomes a doctor, only to find that the bitchiness and cattiness is just like in high school.  Stars Merrill Streep’s daughter, Mamie Gummer.  Tuesdays 9 pm.  BLEH

WTF? Clint Eastwood’s Wife Doing a Reality Show

I loves me some Clint Eastwood.  And, I love me some reality tv even more.  But, why in the HELL is he going along with this silliness?

Dina Ruiz Eastwood is doing a reality show, Mrs. Eastwood & Company.  It will be on E! and premieres next week.  It will focus more on her and her daughters and some band she manages, and less on Clint.  I don’t give a good crap about her.  He’s not thrilled about it, but will probably do some drive-by appearances.  “Hi Honey, I’m home” and disappear.

I look at reality tv for drama.  I’m not interested in drama between Clint and Dina.  I don’t know or care enough about her to bother watching.  But, this is not going to help his career.  Not that it needs help.  I don’t think it will hurt it either.  At least, I hope not.

Clint, you really needed to put your foot down on this one.  Just no no no and more NO!

EDIT:  And now this chick and her daughter are on The View promoting it!  Well hell, Jaleel White is actually endorsing it, saying he likes it.  Good luck to her, I guess.  I still won’t be watching it.  (Famous last words…)

Raven Simone, Gay or Nay?

Or who the hell really cares?

There are reports out that The Enquirer is outting Raven Simone, and stating that she lives with her girlfriend, in New York City.  Supposedly her family isn’t happy at all, but she put her foot down, making sure they know that her bedroom is none of their business!  If that  is true, GOOD JOB RAVEN

If she felt she needed need to hide this from the world, she shouldn’t.  I’ve seen her in various things, but I will always see Olivia from The Cosby Show first.  So in the back of my mind I see a cute lil girl being gay.  Isn’t 3 years old way too young to know?  Then I slap myself back into reality.  As a 26-year old adult (is she really?  Damn I’m old), be who you are.  Most of the public will still love you.  And hopefully your family will come around as well.  And, well, those who can’t..  give them time or write em off.

Personally, I don’t think it’s anyone’s business.  But, we’re all curious about celebrities private lives.  Some seem to get mega publicity with the  “Are they or aren’t they?”  While I can understand those who are confused, just figuring it out for themselves, once you have accepted it yourself , don’t hide it.  Your fans will still love you.  The more people try to hide this, the harder the media goes after them.  Not acknowledging one way or the other isn’t necessarily hiding it.  Queen Latifah just doesn’t answer.  Change the subject, give em the death stare, whatever.  My sex life is MY sex life.  But when you deny deny deny it to the nth degree until pics come out, you’re screwed.

If you’re hiding out in spas and paying for “favors,”  then buying off people to be quiet because you’re married with children, that’s a whole different story.  True or not, you got some issues going on for sure.  You need to work em out.  You’re really not doing yourself any favors.
