To help those who haven't caught this exemplary show, AMC will be running a Mad Men marathon on July 20th. The entire first season will be shown.
how does this make sense?
Because of American Gladiators' current failure, NBC is doing a little damage control.
By scheduling a half hour episode of Dateline?....
Monday, June 9
8:00/7:00c - "American Gladiators"
9:00/8:00c - "Nashville Star" (Two-Hour Season Premiere)
Monday, June 16
8:00/7:00c - "American Gladiators"
9:00/8:00c - "Nashville Star" (90-Minute Episode)

Mondays (as of June 23)
8:00/7:00c - "American Gladiators"

Wow. They have no clue what they are doing.

Cyndie Lauper to celebrate Oakdale Pride
She bops, we bop, and HiH bops! You know you do ;)
Cyndi Lauper will be appearing on the July 3rd episode of CBS' soap, As the World Turns. Following a tireless group of people (including Neyo, Mary J Blige, and SNOOP DOGG) recently appearing on soaps, Cyndi's one-upping them and celebrating gay pride on the show. She'll also slip in a few promos for her new album by singing her new single "Into the Nightlife" and dedicate "True Colors" to Luke.
Everyone say it with us..."awwwwwww!!!"
Denise Richards: It's not THAT complicated & Living Lohan
So, I sat thru these shows and I'm here to say, "I lived".
Surprising, right?
Denise wasn't that bad. I kind of enjoy her laugh. Her friend Trisha seems normal and it's almost comforting as to how candid she acts on camera, especially when talking about her past relationships. I really hope we never have to see two pigs mate ever again, however. One episode was enough. Were those real tears at her father's welcoming picnic, btw? I couldn't tell.
Lohan, however. Yikes. Does the entire family light up and chain smoke when the cameras are off, because their voices do not match the ages attached to those necks. A warning signal should have gone off in Dina's head when this producer IMed her PERIOD. The fact that he had her IM screenname is a wake-up call.
Ausiello!!!
Michael Ausiello is leaving TV Guide to write for Entertainment Weekly. Wow. We never thought we'd say those words.
If you don't know, Ausiello does an amazing column each and everyday, specifically his Wednesday chats where you learn everything you need to know about what's going on with your favorite shows.
Ausiello is one of the main reasons we even started up this blog. He was one of our inspirations. We want people to compare us to him.
You'll be missed on tvguide.com, mister.
Here's some Snapple and a Smurf.
She's only happy when it rains
Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson will be acting in a big way with a regular role next season on Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles."
On "Sarah Connor," produced by Warner Bros. TV, Scottish musician Manson will play Catherine Weaver, the CEO of a cutting-edge high-tech company.
I'm very very intrigued right now....
I used to LOVE this band. I might even still have the CD somewhere? Maybe?

Really, Heidi? REALLY?
I didn't think it'd get more pathetic, but apparently it could.
She looks like a doll. And I don't mean Barbie.
Stand Up to Cancer: Sept 5th
On each morning program, the three nighttime anchors from each of the three major networks (ABC, NBC, & CBS), stopped by to announce a special event on September 5th looking to stop the #1 killer in America: cancer.
Step Up to Cancer will be a one-hour special to run on Sept 5th featuring major celebrities and performers speaking out about cancer and raising money to benefit those who struggle with it each and everyday.
It's great to see such comraderie amongst the top 3 during a time of need.

The Alternate GG ENDING
Yes you read that title correctly. Yes, there are spoilers below. Yes, you should read to your own discretion. And, finally, YES it's JUICY!!!!!
Ohtheydidnt.com has got their hands on what the original script ended with, instead of what we saw on tv. Why is this pretty reliable? The woman's a casting associate.
Read on!
The Gossip Girl Finale That Could Have Been...
Casting Director Renee Godbout on the high-stakes drama in the original season 1 finale script
By Renee Godbout
Now that the season finale of Gossip Girl has aired, I can let you all in on a little secret. Not only was the original script completely different, the first ending was so much better. Here's what would have gone down if the show had kept the first script:
Serena & Dan
Serena (Blake Lively) doesn’t catch Dan (Penn Badgley) with Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) the morning after the concert. Georgina had already left, and Dan's moral compass persuades him to tell Serena the truth. Serena still tries to lie to herself about what really went down between Dan and Georgina. Actually, this change was a good decision. It brought out a much-needed confrontation between Georgina and Serena, and more drama is always better television!
Chuck & Blair
The major changes of the show include my favorite characters, and their drama would have made the finale really good:
Instead of waiting at the helicopter pad for Chuck (Ed Westwick), Blair (Leighton Meester) is actually waiting at the airport. She runs into Carter Baizen (Sebastian Stan), our favorite bad boy who made a guest appearance earlier in the series. She tells Carter that she and Chuck are together, and that she's waiting for him. Blair continues to look at her watch, nervously watching the time fly by. Carter suggests that this is exactly the type of game Chuck would play: Making her believe he was in love with her and then leaving her stranded alone at the airport. Blair doesn't believe that... at first. As it gets later and later, Carter's suggestion makes more and more sense.
At the same time, Chuck is in his limo, impatiently waiting in traffic. He is complaining to the driver about the traffic when they come upon a car accident. Chuck sees Lily sitting on the curb. She's crying, clutching a lily in her hand, and is hunched over what looks like a body. Someone is draping a cloth over the body's head. Chuck tells the driver to stop and gets out of the car. Lily looks up, sees him, and shakes her head at his questioning glance. Chuck’s father is dead.
Unaware of this, Blair is finally convinced that Chuck has stood her up and decides to go to Europe with Carter instead. End of episode.
What high-stakes drama it would have been! The new season of Gossip Girl would have started with Chuck's anger and sadness, as well as Blair’s guilt. The original finale would have amped up everything about the show, instead of the relationship cop-out they aired last Monday night.
The ending that aired seemed like the show was trying to find any reason to keep Chuck and Blair apart. Happy couples may be boring couples, but the original ending would have given both characters so much more drama to work with. Who knows why the writers changed the script - maybe they didn’t want to start the new season on such a low note. But it would have been one helluva finale!
Renee Godbout - Casting Director, Grant Wilfley Casting. Renee is currently casting background for the first season of The CW's popular teen show Gossip Girl at this busy casting office. Some past projects include 2 seasons of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, the pilot for Dirty Sexy Money, and the upcoming Jonathan Demme-directed Dancing with Shiva. The office also casts background for several other New York episodics including Law and Order: SVU, Lipstick Jungle, and New Amsterdam. Grant Wilfley Casting's recent films includes both background and some principle casting for: Sex & The City: The Movie, The Departed, Enchanted, The Bourne Supremacy, and Oscar nominee Michael Clayton.
WHOA, right?!
Saving Moonlight one Rain Storm at a time
J is so good. He just called to say that there is a gathering of fans outside of Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank right now picketing to save Moonlight. Oh and it is downpouring there. Sunny LA my ass.
So if you are a fan of Moonlight, in the LA area and have a rain coat, get in your car and get your protest on!
Week In Review
Hello Summer!! Yup this weekend is the unofficial start of the summer, which of course means bye bye to some of our favorite shows for awhile. But while we mourn the loss of Grey's, Ugly Betty, The Office, hell even American Idol here are some talking points for you when you are at your barbeques, pool parties, waiting in line for Indiana Jones or hanging out at the beach.
On House we saw the conclusion of the two part season finale, the first was called House's head the second WIlson's Heart. Wilson is fine, but sadly his love Cutthroat Bitch is dead. Did that sound crass didn't mean to be. To recap House was in a bus crash and when he woke up in a strip club he could not remember how he got there, all he knew is that someone was going to die and he had to save them. It was not the bus driver as he initially thought, instead it was Amber. House got drunk at a bar and called WIlson to drive him, Wilson was still working so Amber went to get him, that is why she was on the bus hence in the crash with him. But sadly, even after House went under brain surgery to recover memories they were not able to save Amber. It was truly a heart wrenching moment, and for someone with the name Cutthroat Bitch she sure went out with Grace.
Dancing With the stars crowned its winner. Are you shocked that it was Kirsti Yamaguchi? Yea neither were we. We were shocked however with the American Idol finale. Cook beat Archuletta by 12 million votes. Wow. (YOU CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THE FINALE I DID NOT WATCH IT.)
If we had a nickel for every time that we jumped into a vat of cement to impress someone then we would have...well nothing, cause we use our witty TV banter and knowledge to impress people. Are you impressed?? Anyway that was the main case tonight on Grey's Anatomy along with the last two trial patients for Derek and Meredith. It was a heart wrenching episode (yes we channeled our inner soap opera writing for that one). Alex must let go of Eva who after trying to commit suicide (nice connection with Meredith cleaning up the blood and her Mom's suicide) we find out has a borderline personality disorder and will now be in a psych hospital. We also learn that Alex took care of his Mom hence his connection with Eva. Derek and Meredith get their tumor patients laid, and then sadly in what was a real tear jerker, after of course them saying goodbye,(who doesn't want someone to say to them I am not finished loving you! Shonda can you write the script for our live?!) the boyfriend dies. This pushes Derek over the edge stating that he always lets her down, her meaning Meredith. Rose yea it is over and you know it. They try again with the girlfriend and low and beyhold the treatment works. But let's recap the good stuff: The Cheif moves back in with his wife, Bailey is a Star Wars nerd (reason 176 that we love her), Izzie gets sole control of the Clinic, Izzy and Alex make out in which was really heartbreaking Alex begging her please, Callie and Hahn on the urging of Sloan finally make out, Lexi reads everyone's files and find out that George missed being a resident by one point, now he can retake the test, Christina finally tells off Hahn and in return realizes she needs to be a good teacher to Lexi. Sidenote where are the rest of their interns? But of course the icing on the cake was Meredith and Derek. We knew that they were getting back together but how was the surprise. First off where did Meredith get all of those lanterns and the precise layout for a house? Anyway aside from that Meredith makes the big gesture to make her life extraordinary just like her Mom wanted. They kiss and Derek being the good guy that he is goes to break up with Rose so he can do more than kiss Meredith. Wooo. And that is us rejoicing that Grey's is actually good again!
Next week we give our what to watch this summer preview and of course what we have really been waiting for the Sex and the City movie. Cosmos and Jimmy Choos for all!!

Flavor of Love 3 a bust?
Flava Flav has a quote in today's USA Today.
When asked whether you can find love on a reality show, he says the following:
Flav: "I went through three seasons of Flavor of Love, 65 girls. For everybody, there is somebody. … (But) you can't get discouraged just because you don't find what you want out of 65 people. Maybe 66 might be the one."
Uh, then what happened to Thing 2?!
AI: David Cook and some people from the 70s & 80s
Were we randomly transported to the Osmond Variety Hour last night? B/c it sure felt like it!
First things first, congratulations to David Cook!! And by such a large margin! Who would have thought 12 million votes would have separated these 2? I guess it wasn't as close as Ruben and Clay after all.
Let's comment on a few things, shall we?
We get it FOX. So You Think You Can Dance premieres tonight, we get it. Enough with the blatant promotion by having spunky kids stare at the cameras and dance during the group numbers. Unnecessary.
Also unnecessary? Mike Myers plugging his film. Yes, the Mariska Hargitay line was hilarious, however, it was so awkward. Telling David Archuleta about pubic hair straddled the line of creepy, no pun intended.
Brooke White sounded great, Carly & Michael Johns rocked it out, George Michael killed the mood, Donna Summer sounds like she's never aged, Syesha held her own with Seal, and Amanda wanted to be shot in the face.
Anything we're forgetting?
oh and I totally cried. Try not to when David Cook's brother looks to the camera and says "that's my brother". I dare you.

Whoopi needs a medal
Denise Richards is waiting for Wild Things 4 to happen. She's waiting for that day when her management calls and says, "Hell froze over, it received a greenlight".
Until that happens, we get gems like this:
Whoopi ripped Denise a new one this morning on The View and if you weren't able to watch, we're here to help you out. The tension's so tight, it resembles Denise's forehead.
Hand it to Archuleta
Unless producers wanted people to call for the underdog last night, I think it's pretty clear who will win tonight's American Idol.
Let's set the record straight though. This is definitely the most talented finale yet. Ruben and Clay didn't really hold a candle to this in my book, since Ruben kind of...sucked.
Speaking of which, can someone get Ruben a towel? You've got to feel bad for the guy. And I had no idea that farewell song was his. Oops.
Here's praying Kelly Clarkson will make an appearance tonight!!

Desperate Houswives: If I could turn back time
Do we talk about Susan not being with Mike anymore or do we talk about the mystery of Katharine and Dylan finally being solved?
Well, I think we just spoke about both.
When I first heard about the twist ending, I wasn't sure if it'd be a jump the shark moment. Luckily, I'm intrigued as to how all of this comes about and if Marc and the writers will begin the series anew, with a clean slate. If that's the case, count me in.
Upon watching old episodes of Melrose Place lately, I realized that sometimes soaps just get too long in the tooth. They don't know how to pace themselves and so there are moments of sheer BOREDOM mixed in with high moments of intrigue. Therefore, this is a bit smarter than it looks. Yes, you might not be happy with the fact that Susan is kissing another man at the end of the finale, but would you rather be bored? Being upset is a better response than EH. Plus, do you really think the writers would keep Mike off the show knowing full well how invested the audience is in the couple and show? No. Period. The end.
Katharine and Dylan. We could have seen that coming, however, that shot of Dylan Part 1 under the bookcase=chills. And I loved how all the women stood up for Katharine in her time of need. Great moment.
Another great moment. Bree's low blow with a fast-melting iced cherub. Gotta love seeing a Type A woman breakdown.
What are your thoughts on the finale? Over the show or are you invested?
Last night's GG
Here's the last 5 minutes of GG last night.
Spoiler alert if you haven't seen the episode yet!

The New 90210
Ahhhhhhhhh. There are some things that should be left alone, such as the amaziness that is the original 90210. I could be eating my words in the fall, but for right now I will stick to the classics on soapnet. But if you are dying to see what it is going to be like the CW has the promo up on Youtube. I would link it here but I am so technically challenged and my internet sucks at home that sadly I can't.
What do you think? Are you going to be turning into the remake?

Week In Review: HIMYM, LOST, THE OFFICE, 90210
Happy weekend folks!! The couch here with your week in review, giving you something to talk about at your weekend barbeques. We watch all the shows that you need to know about and deliver them to you in bite size form.
Britney was back on How I Met Your Mother this week and it looks like she maybe back for more seeing as though she gets engaged to Barney. They of course are doing this to show Ted how lame he is when he dates girls. But the big question I guess is with Scrubs shooting it's last season on ABC will Sarah Chalke, Stella, be back? We hope so, since we think she is the mother in How I Met Your Mother.
90210 news. Rob Estes will be gracing the boob tube with his handsome face as Mr. Mills, the sole reason why those crazy kids move to the 90210 zip code in the first place. We've loved him since Silk Stalkings.
America's Next Top Model crowned its winner this week and it was…Whitney. She beat out Fatima, who is annoying and the front-runner Anya, who sounds like she is from some mystical land where everyone has unicorns for pets. Whitney became the shows first plus size winner, so now Tyra can stop getting flak for never letting a girl with junk in the trunk win. Of course no there is controversy that Whitney was not a plus size model until she started the show. Rumor has it that she was discovered on a plane by a casting director and she was a normal size 4 and was told that if she gained a few pounds then she was basically a shoo in for top three. Hmmmmm.
You know what makes us sad you know besides global warming, season finales, and they are starting to come fast and furious.
The Office should always be an hour long, just sayin'. It was the day that Michael has been waiting for for 12 years, Toby's last day of work. He is also all ready to hate his replacement until he realizes after meeting Holly, that he is in fact in love with her and ready to make her a mix tape. We see that they are made for each other, yoda, yoga. Jim thankfully talks him into maybe just courting her and not asking her how many kids she wants right away. Jim then decides that Toby's goodbye party, now being planned by Phyllis (cause anti depression is basically the same as anti gravity machines), is the perfect place to propose to Pam. He even throws in money for fireworks. Just as he is about to pop the question, which of course Pam had an inkling that he was going to ask her, his thunder is stolen by Andy who asks Angela to marry him, she gave him a tentative ok in the microphone. Other things set up for next season. Jan is pregnant but not with Michael's kid it is a sperm donor's cause Jan only has one shot to get it right. Holly thinks that Kevin is "special", Ryan is caught and arrested for fraud but we agree with Oscar that the only real crime is the beard. The capper of course is the Phyllis catches Angela getting it on in the Office with Dwight. We can't wait for next season.
Just like a fine wine Lost gets better and better! We see what happens when the Oceanic 6 are brought back into the real world, including what the real world was told about their rescue. Other hot points Jack finds out that Claire is his sister, we get to see the Orchid station, Jack and Sawyer are reunited and it feels so good, and at the end of this episode the Oceanic six are spread across the island and two are even on the boat. Oh and the boat is full of C4. Stayed tuned cause in two weeks it is back for the two hour season finale!

This week's poll
According to you, David A will be winning the American Idol title.
Will he sing Circle of Life as his victory song? Our bet is on...yes.
ANTM: Versace, Covergirl, and the Colisseum, oh my!
Wow.
WOW!
What a finale! I can't remember the last time I enjoyed an ANTM finale this much. From the Covergirl photoshoot and commercial, the quick release of Fatima (she'll still get a ton of work, let's be honest), to the Versace shoot and groundbreaking crowning of "full-figured" Whitney as the winner, it gets a huge thumbs-UP from me.
The Covergirl shoot was a bit predictable. Whitney was cheesy, Anya had moments of glory, and Fatima bombed it. Thus, the judges cut her and her atrocious weave out of the house.
Then Tyra surprised the remaining contenders with the revelation that they will be modeling VERSACE. That's a huge coup for the show. In the middle of Italy? DAMN! Granted, it wasn't an actual Versace runway show, but still, I'd shed tears of joy myself.
Whitney KILLED it on the catwalk. The girl looked lovely, had the confidence to walk next to any of the skinny bitches, and won the title. Rightfully so.
While Anya had some amazing photos, she didn't have the presence.
I can't wait to see if these girls actually make a career out of this. *Crossing my fingers*
Top Chef: Toss my salad
What an episode of Top Chef that was. Granted, last week's was the monumental Wedding Wars, but this episode still had a lot to offer.
For example: Sam's return. Let's do a moment of silence for him, shall we? ...................................
and there we go
Secondly, Andrew's breakdown at the end of the episode. Lisa completely threw him under the boss and he was rightfully pissed off. The guy told Lisa about her shrimp cholesterol problem and she still whined about someone turning the burner up to high and how she followed the rules and Andrew didn't. Wa Wa Wa. Cry me a river.
I'm going to miss Andrew's energy. Even if it was a bit manic.
Do you like contorting into different shapes?
Well, FOX wants you
They're looking for groups of 3. If you're interested, contact our friend Keri at foxhole08@yahoo.com. Please be between the ages of 24-50(ish).

Photo Op: 90210
Feast your eyes on THIS!!!
The first photo from the 90210 spinoff.
Grandma, Momma Lori, and the two children (yes the black guy's adopted) are all front and center. Yet, where's pops?
Monday TV: "I'm Chuck Bass"
Wow, last night was a doozy for television. Serena's secret came out, Dan cheated on Serena, The Hills had a YAWN of a finale (does ANYTHING happen on this show anymore?!), The Bachelor chose a has-been actor's daughter, Britney held her own yet again, Kristi Yamaguchi made it a given that she'll win DWTS, and Samantha celebrated turning one. That's a mouthful!
Let's start with The Hills. There's not much to say and it doesn't look like there's much to next season, either. Since this is basically a scripted show, why not let it go on a high note? Aka last season. NOTHING is going on. Audrina might leave. Okay, who cares? Spencer rudely interrupted Heidi at a business meeting in Vegas (ok that was extremely bizarre, yet that was the only exciting thing), and LC....looked on? I found myself fast forwarding to the parts where songs were featured. That's sad.
Kristi Yamaguchi killed it on DWTS. Just hand her the trophy. Wouldn't it be great if they had a charity to benefit by winning as well? I call Jason Taylor and Kristi in the finale. Bye Marisa, it's been nice.
Serena's big secret came out and yet another fantastic episode of GG occurred. Yet again, the writers upped the suspense (I yelped at least twice: when Serena's mom found the disk and the entire 90s concert). The show hit a whole different level of awesome when Lisa Loeb started playing "Stay". I fell in love all over again with Chuck. Case and point:
Enough said. I wish Serena wouldn't have told Dan she cheated on him because now it looks like he will, too. She shot herself in the foot. The scenes with the "non-judgmental breakfast club" rang true because of how much history dripped below the surface. It's insane to know how much has happened to these 4 in less than a year. Plus, ew. Chuck losing his virginity in 6th grade. Yikes.
Michelle Trachtenberg is hitting it out of the park as Heather Locklear successor, Georgina. I loved her face when Vanessa called her out right then and there. She's extremely creepy and has the eyebrow-arching down to a T.
Does next week really have to be the finale?
Monday, May 12, 2008
B&S: Sally Field is our hero
Brothers and Sisters rocked last night. While the ending kind of made me hope that the writers don't tell the same story twice, the entire hour made up for that small bit.
Kevin and Scotty got hitched in heart-warming ceremony with TONS of flowers thanks to Nora, a coming out by Saul, some speculation as to who "R" is, and a cufflink or two. Sally Field's Nora brought tears to my eyes when she said to Kevin that he should have a ceremony "just like everyone else". It's shocking, but this type of event being showcased on network television IS groundbreaking. Good job, Belanti and company. Great job.
What did you think about that kiss at the end? Did you see it coming? Yes, the chemistry is palpable, but is it in the wrong direction? Could you kiss your previously adopted brother/sister? I didn't think so.
Scrubs Moving to ABC!
Yea you have probably already heard the rumblings of this, we did like months ago, cause duh we are the couch. Anyway if you were a little confused by the finale on NBC, was it the season finale or the series finale, well it was actually the NBC finale. We loved Turk and Carla as the two headed witch. So the 8th and last season of Scrubs will be on ABC. Wooo!
Do you want Brenda back?
This has officially gone into creepy territory
If you want Brenda to come back to 90210 for the spinoff, you can read and sign this petition at your own descretion.
I wouldn't go flaunting it around or anything ;)
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bringbrendaback/
90210 IS GOING TO SERIES
You read it here FIRST folks.
The 90210 spinoff is going to series, along with another show, How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls.
Basically the CW is screaming FEMALES this fall.
Back to You a no go
FOX has decided against bringing back Back to You for a 2nd season this fall.
While we're not upset, it's still a bit surprising considering 'Til Death's return for a THIRD season (what?!)
i know this is old news, so excuse us
Jennie Garth has signed onto the 90210 remake playing a guidance counselor. That doesn't really make sense since she's a fashion class teacher in the script, but whatever, I guess.

I Love Money cast REVEALED aka MIDGET MAC IS BACK!
Judging from that photo, these peeps have hit it HARD lately. Damn! She looks like this girl:
Joining Pumkin are I LOVE NEW YORK rejects: Real, Whiteboy, 12Pack, Heat, The Entertainer, Chance, Midget Mac, Mr. Boston.
Flava of Love Rejects: Hoopz, Nibblz, Toasteee.
Rock of Love Rejects: Megan, Rodeo, Heather, Destiney, Brandi C.
My money's on Rodeo. The girl's stacked.
The Glass House is on right now
have we professed our love for this movie lately? No? Well, here goes.
My brother knows for a fact that I'm somehow drawn to LeeLee Sobieski's battle with Diane Lane and the Glass family as she struggles to raise her young brother.
Cheesy suspense ensues and Diane figures to be a drug addict.
Oh, and there's a sequel. Starring Angie Harmon. Oh. YEAH.
Don't believe me?
LOST extended
Yes, you read that correctly! The next 2 seasons (because of the strike this year) will be 17 episodes instead of the previously announced SIXTEEN. Woohoo!!!
Now, that finale last night. I'm more confused than ever. Seriously, I need to see next week's episode ASAP before I throw in the towel.
(SPOILER ALERT)
M%#@ the island?! WHAT?!

Cher & Tina on Oprah
So, the episode aired today and was flash-tastic. If you didn't Tivo it, be sure to record the 1:05am rerun on your local ABC station.
Here's a preview:
Scrubs Series Finale tonight?
Still not sure which it is yet but either way be sure to watch Scrubs tonight as the hospital gets turned into a fairy tale world. We are guessing that this episode is basically one long J.D. fantasy.
Long time No Talk
Sorry couchers long time no talk. E here first off huge thanks to Jon for keeping this going while I have been on the East Coast for a few weeks now and yes unemployment has its benefits.
So you are probably thinking since you don‘t have to work then you should be writing every day. Sadly I have not been able to watch some of my favorite shows out here but the silver lining to it all is that I am now fluent in weird children’s television. I have a 4- year-old nephew who tends to not let me watch Gossip Girl or even reruns of Gilmore Girls. I have spent most of my time convincing him that the Teletubbies are the work of the devil.
So what have I been doing? Well watching old Gilmore Girls episodes, I am all the way up to season 6 now totally pumped. I am addicted to Soap Net it rules my afternoons. Two O.C.’s followed by two episodes of 90210. The original of course we are in season 5 right now so junior year of college I believe. Kelly is about to get addicted to coke so pumped for that. Don’t get me started on the new one that is a blog in waiting.
I am also addicted to BBC America’s How Clean is Your House. Love me some Aggie and Kim and I have picked up some very useful cleaning tips from them. I also watched the last two episodes of Grey’s Anatomy
Ok couchers I promise to be better about the blogs. Gotta go 90210 is on and I think we are getting closer to my favorite episode when Dylan gets married and then the Noxema chick dies.
Whoopi to tackle Tony
View moderator Whoopi Goldberg has been tapped as The 62nd Annual Tony Awards host for Sunday, June 15th.
I guess she's following in Rosie's footsteps in more ways than one.
Super SIzed Gossip Girl
Not only will Michelle Trachtenburg become a season regular but there are talks that GG will now become super sized and be a 24 episode season. Good to know that the CW is behind this show even though ratings have been less than stellar. Now if they had only done that for our beloved Veronica Mars!
Farmer Wants a Wife: Josie & The Pussycats
Who knew an actual gentleman could be found on a reality dating show?
Well, the CW (and Becky Cattie's crew ;)) have found it with Matt Neustadt. The guy's a down-to-earth, hard-working, sweetheart who seems to have his heart in the right place. You genuinely want him to find love or some form of it on this show.
That brings us to the ladies. Some of whom you wonder why the hell they signed onto a show called "Farmer wants a Wife". They seems surprised they're even dealing with a farm once the show begins. There's chicken wrangling, goat-milkin, manure-shoveling, and all while the girls ruin their freshly pressed manis and pedis.
I'm rooting for Brooke. Christina is annoying and thinks she has it in the bag. Whatevs.
Oh, and how's this for refreshing? The episodes end with a date, NOT an elimination. Kind of makes you feel all warm and tingly inside, doesn't it?
....until you smell that cow poo.

GG news
Rumors are swirling that Michelle Trachtenberg will become a full-fledged cast member next season.
CW is going to make the announcement at the upcoming upfronts. This is why the upfronts are the holy grail of television, folks. For announcements like these!
Ugly Betty: Dodgeball
The first pics of Lohan on the set of Ugly Betty have arisen and it looks like a harmless game of Dodgeball to us.
Until someone gets nailed in the face, of course.

The Hills are alive....
for a 4th season....
MTV has just renewed our girls for a 4th season, 19 episodes, in August 2008.
With next week being the finale (yeah, did you know it's already done?), we'll be itching to see what happens next.
Or what unfolds so fakely no one will care anymore.
Sean Young found a new job
The cast for CMT's GONE COUNTRY 2 includes:
- Sebastian Bach singer, songwriter, Broadway actor; former lead singer of Skid Row
- Irene Cara GRAMMY and Academy Award winning singer, songwriter; actress, "Fame"
- Mikalah Gordon singer, host, actress; 2005 "American Idol" finalist
- Jermaine Jackson television personality, former lead singer of The Jackson 5
- Chris Kirkpatrick television personality, music producer, member of *NSYNC
- Lorenzo Lamas musical theater actor; actor "Renegade" and "Falcon Crest"
- Sean Young actress, "Blade Runner" and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective"
This trainwreck's going to premiere in August 2008. Here's hoping for a Mikalah and Jermaine Jackson friendship.
GUTS. No, i mean it. GUTS.
GUTS is coming back. No joke.
Nickelodeon is bringing back the epic gameshow GUTS in the form of "My Family's Got GUTS" for 20 episodes. No idea as to a return date, but this is enough for us.
Wow.
GG: the 4 Gs
I'm warning you right now. I'm posting the last scene of the episode at the end of this blog. Do not watch if you have not seen it yet. I mean it. DO NOT WATCH. I'm only posting it because of the chills (literally) I got once that guitar riff washed over the scene.
Holy....what an unreal episode. Easily the funniest one yet. It was poignant, dramatic, shocking, all of the above.
"At least you now know how Vanessa Hudgens feels".
"To a girl like Jenny, the 4 Gs are important in life: guys, gf's, and gossip girl".
I had read spoilers as to how the certain so-and-so (in case someone hasn't watched yet), was outed. Thank goodness I was wrong, because the dinner scene not only made everything awkward, but it left my jaw on the floor as to the audacity that is Sara/Georgina.
Jenny went full circle tonight. The insults that were spewing from her mouth were a bit ridiculous, especially when she called out Dan's LL Bean jeans. I couldn't believe she had become such a queen B*TCH, so to see her fall was a little bittersweet. No matter what she does wrong, you still find yourself rooting for Little J. Which reminds me of my favorite line of the entire episode
"Don't look so sad Little J, the sun will come out tomorrow. But looks like your boyfriend came out today"

HIMYM: Britney duet
You can take a few things away this photo.
1. Britney looks fantastic.
2. Barney and her are possibly dating?
that's it for now. anything else?
Men In Trees: Canned
*Tear*
Men In Trees has officially been cancelled by ABC.
After 2 seasons, 6 scheduling moves, and 2 long hiatuses, you have to wonder if no one saw this coming.
Damn.

Ugly Betty: Christian kills it
Did you see it last night? If no, well then you really need to get on the bandwagon that is UB. Seriously, folks. Ratings are down and it doesn't make quite sense. This should be a show at the top of the ratings ladder, yet audiences continue to turn their heads. It hits each demographic: gays, straights, women, men who like hot chicks, etc. So, what's happening here?
ANYWAY, Christian Siriano brought on the funny last night with Becki Newton (aka Amanda) vogueing as one of his models. Watch as Alexis makes sure Amanda doesn't do the catwalk ever again.
Do you think Henry has a chance now that Charlie has sunk her dirty pregnant claws in him even more? I'm over her so much. I didn't like Gio in the past, but he's looking better and better as this pregnancy storyline continues. It'd be amazing if Charlie popped out a black baby, then FINALLY ending it all.
Lohan meets Betty
Lindsay Lohan has been on track to co-star on Ugly Betty for a while now.
Well, it seems to be a deal with possibly EIGHT episodes next season. Yes, you read that correctly. EIGHT.
It's just speculation for right now, but let's cross our fingers since UB is hitting on all cylinders lately, yet can't find the ratings. It's beyond frustrating.
THE MOLE IS BACK!
We can hardly contain our excitement.
The Mole is back and better than ever.
Has anyone noticed those ads saying "The Mole was Here"? They're driving us insane.
Check out the website here:

The Paper: The Facebook Song
Genius.
Amanda is so precocious, you've got to love to hate her.
Exhibit A:
Project Runway to move to LA
Yep, you read that correctly.
Not only is it moving to Lifetime, but production is moving to LA for the first time.
We're already hoping on running into them at a fabric store.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeow
TV Land announced today the pickup of a new elimination dating series, Untitled Cougar Project, where eligible young men vie for the attention of a sexy and accomplished mature woman (the Cougar). Through a series of creative and romantic challenges, the men will be eliminated weekly -- all at the discretion of the Cougar.
Apparently TV Land wants to become the new VH1. Took long enough!
American Idol: 14 minutes in
And I was over the show.
I cannot BELIEVE that Jason Castro was the first one safe last night.
The saving grace was Natasha Bedingfield singing the hell out of Pocketful of Sunshine. She deserves to have a #1 record with that song.
Brooke. She broke my heart. I'm still curious as to whether she'll make it as an artist, but I hope to see her behind a piano in the near future.
