How I Met Your Mother .. " Do I Know You"

I have to say , I'm so glad this show is back . And why isn't Season 3 out on DVD yet?? Anyway , let's get write into last night's premiere . It opens with Ted and Stella in the same place they were last season in the finale , awaiting for Stella to say yes or no , to Ted's Proposal . I thought it was funny that the writers gave you a couple different scenarios of her response . " Hey Turd" , " No It's Ted!" , Great Start . She says Yes , but will it last? Next , we move on to what the rest of the gang has been up too . Marshall's Face peeling something , might be Clearsel?? .. who knows .. either way , his reaction was priceless.

Next , Lily and Barney are discussing that Barney is in love with Robin . Big Surprise There . I saw it coming the moment the two of them were alone at Barney's Apartment . At this moment , I was thinking to myself , Barney cannot handle a relationship . We'll see what happens . Next , we see Ted and Stella at Ted's Apt . , where Ted is cooking dinner . Ted cooks her Pesto with Peanuts , and I was thinking isn't she allergic?? .. What an Idiot!

Next , I want to quickly mention one of the best quotes of the premiere . " Rhinoceres!.. We Have To Go " , that is so true of Lily and Marshall it's not even funny . Next , Ted tells Marshall that Stella has never seen Star Wars! O, What A Tradegy . This whole Star Wars storyline , was funny , but completely unecessary to Tonight's Plot . I did love though the writers put , " 121 Awesome Minutes Later" , that I laughed out loud on that one . I don't understand why this is so important to Ted ? Yes, Star Wars is a good movie , but basing a relationship on it ?? Makes no sense to me whatsoever .

One of the best scenes of the night was the Dinner Date with Robin and Barney. The dialogue was great , and I realized that Barney wants to change. But Will He?
Next, we jump back to Ted and Stella after just finishing Star Wars . And I knew by the look on her face that she hated it , even though she tells Ted , she liked it . WHO CARES! , As a side note , I thought it was really sad that Ted watches Star Wars religiously .

Next , Robin and Barney's Dinner comes to a close . Robin asks him if he wants to bring home the hot waitress , instead of Robin , and he actually turns the waitress down . Yet in the end , he slept with someone else , and not the waitress .

In conclusion , It was a good premiere . But one question still remains . Is Barney A New Man? , or is Barney still the same Barney that every HIMYM Fan knows him to be?

Best Barney Quotes:

" The Boogie Man With The Telepromter ! Great Joke."

" I caught feelings Bad."

" Nothing gotta go bye! , there's camera's there , there and there! "

" I'm Being Barney, tonight's going to be D-E-leightful."

Best quote of the night: " B-Man don't do Thick Crust ! .. What Up!"

Until Next Week ,

It's Always Sunny Return

What can I say about this show ?? HMMM HMMM .. as Charlie would say . The Premiere of Season 4 , was everything I expected it to be and then some . Let's Start with the first of the two new episodes , " Mac And Dennis Manhunters" , I have to say , the funniest thing about this episode was that they wanted to Hunt .. Cricket . Of all of the characters on this show , I never expected Mac and Dennis to hunt Cricket , but it made the episode that much funnier . I also loved that Danny Devito dressed up as John Rambo and sneaked up on Cricket in a back alley , in who knows where in Philly . The funniest 2 scenes of the first episode had to be , when Charlie and Dee were at the Morgue , and when Mac And Dennis were hunting down cricket in a little box , getting wasted , outside in the middle of the day. I loved when the guy at the morgue said to Charlie and Dee , " 50 Bucks gets you 15 Minutes of Privacy with the Body " . HA HA HA HA . I Love It! One of the best Sunny scenes in recent history . The look on Dee and Charlie's faces were classic .

Now on to the Second Episode , " The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis" , I have to say this episode had its moments , but out of the two , I liked the first one better . The episode starts out in the bar , where we see Charlie pumping a Gas Generator to save energy within the bar . This soon leads into a conversation of who is the brains within the gang . Mac and Dennis both believe , they are the brains , which didn't surprise me , Mac goes on to say that he'll take the looks , and let Dennis have the brains . And that Leaves with Charlie , who is the Wildcard . He really is , he is one crazy guy . This conversation soon stirs up in idea in Mac's head , that they will go to a gas station and fill barrels of gas to bring back to Paddy's . When I saw this , I was like this is kinda stupid , and it really was . The only really funny scenes in this episode was the scene at the bank , and the scene in the bathroom with Frank And Dee .. I won't go through the details of that , go watch it , It's a little to controverstial for me to discuss .

But the Scene at the Bank , to me was Classic Charlie . How He actually thinks that asking a bank teller to borrow 300,000 dollars to start their gas plan , literally made me laugh at loud. And When Mac tried to use , his " Looks" , to impress the bank teller , didn't go over well . Towards the end , it got funnier . But overall , this episode could of been better . I'm sick of all this GO Green! crap on TV .

Lastly, Playing The Ghostbusters Theme at the end of the episode , really made the episode a little better .

And Now To Charlie Quotes...

" Wild Card Bitches!!"

" This Taste has Kept Me Awake All Night"

" You're Consuming that Thing Like Some Kind of Giant Bird!"

Side Note Best Mac Quote - " So What Do You Say Lady Which One of us Do You Want to Take You To The Back and Bang You? " CLASSIC

Until Next Week ,

Fringe Premiere Recap

I know it's a little late , but better late than never . Fringe , was everything I expected it to be and more . I loved the beggining even though I kinda had a feeling where it was going . The first opening minutes , in the airplane , was just like Lost's Pilot back in '04 . It was so intense , and the camera work was the same , yet , it was a good homage to Lost . Another thing I loved about this show , is the credits . Every time a location popped up on the screen , I thought to myself , how much it really did feel like the X Files . I never did watch the X- Files really , but I've seen enough to know what it's about .

One thing I didn't understand , Was the cow . What was that all about? Was that some kind of JJ Abrahms Mind Trick or something? Anyway , On to the performances . Joshua Jackson was the man , as always . As I stated before , he is extremely talented as an actor , and I'm glad to see him back on TV. I really can see him getting some kind of Nomniation in the near future for this show . Him , and this show , is that good . The other performances were good too , especially Anna Torv , as Olivia . I've never heard of her before this show , but I was very impressed .

In conclusion , Fringe was everything FOX hyped it to be . It was thrilling , it kept me on the edge of my seat , and it was one the best pilots I've ever seen . It's a JJ Abrahms show , how can it not be anything less than amazing?


Until Later ,

VMA Recap

I have to say , what I saw of the VMA's I wasn't really impressed . Britney , did look and sound better than probably anyone had expected , yet how the hell did she pull off 3 VMA's?? Best Female , Video of the year! .. Give me a break .. and Best Pop Video . First of all , There were way better Videos that came out in the past year than Britney's Piece of Me. Did she bribe someone at MTV to let her win so many after last year's forgettable performance??? Next , Russel Brand as I predicted , really did look and sound like crap . His hair sucks , and he slurred everything he said . I couldn't understand the guy . I literally thought I needed subtitles on my TV .

Every time Pete Wentz came on the screen, I literally wanted to tell him to shut up . He's on MTV enough with that crappy Friday Show he hosts , he doesn't need to be an MC for the VMA's as well . Give somebody else a chance , because he stinks too . I was happy though by a few things . Linkin Park's , " Shadow of the Day" , Defnitely Deserved Best Rock Video , It's on of their better songs off of Minutes to Midnight , plus it's a different style for them and I have to say it's a good track .

Best Hip Hop Video , went to my boy Lil' Wayne , with Lollipop , and come on now , he deserves it , and its probably one of the best club anthems of '08 . Best Editing went to Death Cab's ," I Will Possess Your Heart" , that is a cool video , long yet I think that's why it won . Because It's such a long video for them , plus they deserve some respect on MTV .

One of the best Performances of the night , was defnitely TI's . The way the stage was setup and everything , it worked for him . TI's the man , and it was the Best Performance of the Night . I liked how after TI's performance was done , OZone was playing in the background for a couple seconds , then all of a sudden .. Rihanna came out .. Man , did she look awesome . It was unexpected to hear OZone's , " Dragoniesta Din Tei " , but it was sick . And worked perfectly . I didn't see Katy Perry's Like A Virgin cover , yet we all know , it was probably dreadful .

Christina's Performance , I have to say , was surprising , considering she isn't on MTV as much as she used to , She did a good job , and she didn't look half bad either . Finally , the biggest crap of the night , Tokio Hotel , winning Best New Artist !!??? .. You've gotta be joking ! .. I demand a recount , they are the most untalented piece of crap band of the year . I mean if stupid Miley one , I probably would've freaked , because she's just as bad , but Tokio Hotel? They've had what , one hit , maybe , but who listen's to their garbage . If Anything , Jordin Sparks deserved it most , with " No Air" .

In conclusion , This VMA's was the worst ever . Some of the Performances were good , TI's , Rihanna's , but some of these winners , it's just garbage . I knew it was gonna suck . But at least the performances were halfway decent . Maybe 09's VMA's MTV will get some brains .

Until Later ,

Also , Katy Perry , will sing Like A Virgin?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME ?? First Off , Have someone better than her sing it . Like Come On , She's had 1 little Hit this summer , this is so typical MTV it's not even funny . She is going to ruin a classic Madonna song! As a side note , Christina Aguliera will be performing her first single ever , Genie In A Bottle . Another Smart Move , MTV ! BRAVO BRAVO ! Presenters recently announced are: The Hills Girls.. GO LAURENN!!!! .. Shia LaBeouf .. and Ashlee Simpson .. hopefully she won't pull an SNL Type stunt .. she can't be that stupid right?? .. Well it's the Simpson family .. what do you expect??

Most Underrated Actresses on TV .. Part 2

5. Kristin Davis - What Can I say , This girl knows how to be a bitch on screen . She got her start on the hit , Melrose Place , playing the convining , manipulative , Brooke Campell . Even though she was only on the show for a season and a half , she did an awesome job . She later would go on to star in HBO's hit Sex and the City , from 1998 to 2004 . I believe , during the run of Sex and City , I show I absoulely despise , that Kristin Davis was living behind Sarah Jessica Parker's Spotlight . It seemed to me that Parker was always on the Talkshows promoting City , and honestly Parker was horrible on that show . She's so overrated in every single way . Davis should've gotten so much more credit . She's a better actress , and Parker just seems like a complete fake to me .

6. Rachel Bilson - O , Rachel Bilson . This girl is a total hottie . She first came onto the scene in the Hit Fox Drama .. THE OC .. back in 2003 , playing Summer Roberts , Seth Cohen's Love Interest . During the course of the show's run , Bilson really did grow as an actress . However , it always seemed that Mischa Barton got alot more credit than Bilson ever did . When the show got canceled in 2007 due to poor ratings , she headed into movies . She starred in Jumper , which was a complete bomb , yet she did have a short guest run last year , on NBC's new freshman hit Chuck . I really hope that she can find another good TV project , she deserves the spotlight and I hope she gets a good comeback soon .

In Conclusion , there's probabaly many more I could name . But these are the 6 that stand out in my opinion . Either way , I really do hope for Lively and Bilson , especially Bilson , she's got talent , but Barton always got the press because she always spilled the beans on pretty much anything that had to do with The O.C .

Until Later ,

Most Underrated Actresses on TV .. Part 1

Here is the Most Underrated Actresses on Tv , From Past to Present . In No Particular Order .

1.Mila Kunis- Kunis first got onto the scene guest starring on the hit WB show 7th Heaven . She then , got her big break on the Fox Show That 70's Show playing Jackie Burkhart . She would continue to play that character until the show ended in 2006 . Out of all the women characters on That 70's Show , I always thought Mila was the funniest . I never liked Laura Prepon , she pissed me off . She was too tall , and way too much like a guy , because she was so tall . She was giant for crying out loud . Either way , Kunis is extremely talented and she provided a comic relief to the show along with the character of Fez . She finally got the recongition she truly deserves , when she won a Young Hollywood Award in 1999. She would win two more in 2000, and 2002 . I feel that That 70's Show towards the end of their run , defnitely started to slump , proably sometime around Season 6 . But she was always my favorite on that show , She finally starting to get some starring roles , recently in the hilirious Forgetting Sarah Marshall .

2. Blake Lively - Even though , she hasn't been around in Hollywood that long , This Girl Is going places . She first got her first starring role in the 2005 Hit , The Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants . Then in Fall of 2007 , She got her Big Break , in the Starring Role of the CW Series , Gossip Girl . I don't watch Gossip Girl , but Blake Lively has alot of talent . She's cute , she seems like a nice person , and she's got that Girl Next Door look to her , in a very sweet , innocent way . She's only 21 years old , I'm pretty surprised she started acting so late . She's a California native , and she hasn't been on the scene that long . In My Opinion , she's the only reason I Would Watch Gossip Girl , yet I watch CBS on Mondays , so that's not gonna happen . If Gossip Girl , Folds anytime soon , I think other studios should be going after her , she's extremely marketable and very talented . She defnitely deserves more credit in Hollywood .

3. Michelle Trachtenberg - Michelle first came on the scene , in the Nick Favorite , The Adventures of Pete And Pete . She only appeared in 9 Episodes throught the show's 3 year run but that would later land her a movie role in Nick Studios First Movie , Harriet the Spy , back in 1996. She would then in 2000 , return to TV in Buffy The Vampire Slayer playing Dawn Summers . She was on Buffy opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar for 66 Episodes. Even when she was in Pete and Pete , she was still funny . She still is now . Even though she does get a decent amount a projects , she doesn't get anything too big , for some reason . She's been on a a few episodes of Gossip Girl as of this year , but no word yet if she will reprise that role any time soon .

4. Jennie Garth - O Miss Kelly Taylor , How I Love Thee. Garth is honestly the best actress 90210 had on the 90s . Those producers gave her so many problems , but she handled them all like a champ . How can I forget , when in Season 6 , she was addicted to cocaine , and she pulled it off well . It was pretty intense to watch , she did a great job with it . In a way , I feel that alot of the other cast members got more credit than she did . Especially Perry , The Guy's the Man , But I feel that the male characters on that show seemed to always get more credit the female ones on 90210 . After 90210 ended in 2000 , she did a few little movies before landing the lead in the WB Sitcom , What I Like About You , opposite Amanda Bynes , playing Bynes' older sister . I always thought that show was funny , for some reason the two of them worked well together , even though I wasn't used to seeing Garth in a comedic role . As you all know , she's back your TV Screens on the new 90210 Reboot . She still looks great for 36 years old!

Friday !

Well , It's Friday everyone , and also the Summer TV season is done ! YAY ... Back to regular TV ! LOL . Also , Tomorrow I'll Start , Most Underrated Actresses on Tv , and also write SNL's Weekend Updates Best Sketches and Hosts .

Until Then ,
Happy FRIDAY

Most Underated Actors on TV ... Part 2

As Promised , Most Underated Actors Part 2 . Here are the rest of the Actors .

4. Jay Baruchel - This guy is Hysterical . He first came onto the scene in the great Indie Film , The Rules of Attraction , which was filmed right before his Breakthrough yet Underrated TV show . Undeclared!!! .. Undeclared is a show about college freshman that aired for only one season on FOX . It was Exec . Produced by Judd Apatow , and it also starred the Great Seth Rogen , who would go on to bigger things and many projects with Baruchel . Baruchel is also from Canada , and Baruchal and Rogen are both very good friends. Yet , I feel when Undeclared aired , noone knew of these guys , but I feel FOX never gave this show a chance to find their audience . And At The Time , FOX was struggling , most of thier shows from the 90s , Melrose , 90210 , Married With Children , were done , and I think In a way , this wasn't the right time for them to have Undeclared on . Barcuchel carried that show . He played Steven Karp , a dorky guy who was ready to fall in love , but was extremely awkward at the same time . He soon meets Lizzy , played by Carla Gallo , was his love interest .

I have the Complete Series on DVD , and I've gotten most of my College Friends into it , because you can really realte to Steven's Character , and the other characters , because in a way , those situations happen in your freshman year of college. No matter what kind of person you are . I really hope , Baruchel does some comedies on his own , and without Rogen , I love Rogen don't get me wrong , but Jay deserves the spotlight too .

5 . David Schwimmer- This guy always make me laugh watching Friends . Sometimes , on Friends everyone thought Joey was the funny one . He is , yet so was the Character of Ross . Ross , always got very hyper and made great faces when he was mad , and David Schwimmer I think never got alot of credit in certain situations when he was on Friends. Since Friends , He really hasn't done much . I don't blame him , after being on a susssecful show such as Friends , the guy could quit acting and be okay . But , he has done some acting since Friends ended in May of '04 . He was in the Green Episode of 30 Rock last season , and he has Madagascar Sequel coming out this November , yet he really should do more acting . NBC should give him a sitcom deal . Not as Ross , but something else , if Tina Fey , Molly Shannon , can do it , so he can he . He could easily survive on NBC's Thursday Night . Hell , Put Him back on 30 Rock . People Would Watch .

6. Fred Savage- He First Came onto the Scene , in the Late 80's with the Classic .. The Wonder Years . How Can We Forget his Love for Winnie Copper . One of the best TV realtionships ever recorded . I always liked watching that show . They Used to Play it Frequently in Reruns on Nick On Nite . Why It's Not on DVD , Is Beyond Me. After the Wonder Years , He went on to Guest star on The Outer Limits , and His Brother's Show , Boy Meets World . Then in 1997 , He got the starring role in an NBC Comedy called Working . Now I admit , I did watch this , yet this show was just alright . It was on for two seasons , then NBC canned it . It went downhill pretty fast , If I remember correctly . He then went on to direct alot of episodes for various TV Shows . One of Which was It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia . He's Directing Another 6 episodes for the new season premiering on the 18th . I really think It'd be funny , If he pops up in one of these Sunny Episodes , it'd be awesome to see him on something again .

7. Scott Baio - I've always thought he was funny . I don't care how bad or cheesy Charles in Charge , might have been . I thought it was a good sitcom . It just didn't fit with most demographics , and didn't have the audience it needed to succeed. Yet , It lasted for 6 Seasons , which to me is a good number for any show . Baio defnitely had that 80's star syndrome I discussed earlier . He gets one good show , and never really bounces back into anything else. He has done those two VH1 Reality Shows , but as we all know , he can do better than that , but I don't think people think he can .

8. Paul Rudd- What a Character . Yet Another NJ Native , He starred in a few movies .. 200 Ciggarettes , Romeo And Juliet , The Object of My Affection , ( A Jennifer Aniston Project ) , The Cider House Rules , to name a few . I think , he really got noticed when he played Phoebe's Husband , Mike . Even though , he was only on 17 Episodes towards the end of the show , if you're on a show like that , no matter how long , someone is bound to see your work. He would later go on to many Judd Apatow Projects , Including Knocked Up , Which I believe , Is his best movie yet . Although , like many of these actors on this list , I would love to see him in more title roles . He is very talented , and has great physical comedy . He really does deserve some more movies in a starring role .

From G's to Gents : You Can't Make This Up

From G's to Gents , hosted By the Great Fonz Bentley , is by far , in my opinion the realest show on MTV . It is Exec Produced by Jamie Foxx . Anything with Mr. Foxx's name in it , you know its gonna be good . Jamie Foxx , honestly can do no wrong with his projects . Enough said on that one . Fonz is by far the best host for this show , he's real , nice , and completly honest to these guys . I love how during the confessional he says these random things about the contestants . " That D- Boy , sigh , He can't be Trusted" . LOVE IT .

One of the contestants , that I truly have learned to like , is Cee . Cee is from Atlantic City , NJ , HELLS Ya . And I admit , at first , I thought this guy was big loser , and I didn't think he was going anywhere . But man , I was wrong . Out of all the guys , Cee has made a complete 360 since the start of the show . He really has changed , and for the better . He used to be an ex- con , and junkie . But that persona for him , is no more . He wants to be there for his daughter and his girlfriend , and he admits that he was wrong , and he messed up . That takes alot to say that in front of everyone watching the show on Tuesday Nights . I really like tuning in to this show . Because everyone in their own way , has grown as an individual by learning simple life lessons taught by the awesome Mr. Bentley. He is one Cool Guy .

Next , I feel T- Jones , Is the Best Contestant on this show . He's Funny , Kind , and has a Big Heart . In a way , he reminds of a Ghetto Ruben Studdard , cuz he's a big guy and all . I have to say , I was sad to see his departure Tues Night , but in a way , Cee and the other guys need it more . And To Be Honest , T- Jones was one of Fonz's favs , he'll get something from Fonz for sure . I liked that when he left , Fonz told him this , " T - Jones , You Have A Beautiful Heart, and that you made me laugh on many occasions , and your're a great person" . You can't make that up about someone . That's why I think , with statements like that , this show is extremely under-rated . " I'm gonna go home and have some Mac and Cheese!" That's hysterical , O T- Jones!

Next , There's Creepa . He's a character . I love that when he comes on screen , there's always subtitles on the bottom , because he really is hard to understand . " I got My Hater Blockers On! " Best Line Ever . I 'm totally using that one when someone pisses me off. This guy , I knew no matter what , would stay long . He gets MTV good ratings in a way , with his catchphrases and his antics , and in a way , he needs alot of help too. Lastly , There's Shotta , Shotta from Day 1 , has had a good outlook on things , been nice to everyone , and is an all around friendly guy. Yet , he has never really won a challenge , and I'm surprised he hasn't gotten his jacket taken away by Bentley at this point .

In Conclusion , This show is defnitely a keeper , and I think MTV could defnitely find more contestants for another season for sure . Here are my predictions , Cee will win , even though the other guys in the house , feels he is still a so called , " Con" , he deserves it . The guy has stopped drinking , he's more relaxed about things , and he truly deserves this money . Good Luck to The Gents , and to Cee on the rest of the show , I'm excited to see the Final Outcome on Sept 16 . As a side note , I 'll be recapping the Finale the Day After .

Until Later ,

Tomorrow

I've been wanting to discuss this show for while .. From G's To Gents .. It's a really intersting show , And I have to say .. I'm gonna call the post .. " From G's To Gents: You Can't Make This Up" , and in my opinion you can't . These people on the show , all come from different projects across the country and litreally do not have anything . They are in Debt , They have No Jobs , and they Have Kids to Feed . You Can't Sugarcoat any of that . For that reason , I'm gonna discuss it .

Also , The Rest of Underated Actors on TV .

Until Then ,

Most Underated Actors on TV ... Part 1

The Actors on this list are from past and present , that have been on one or two good shows, but don't really get noticed as much as they should . I'm going to list 8 Actors and Actresses . In No Particular Order .


1. Joshua Jackson - What Can I say about this guy . He started out in the Mighty Duck Movies back in 1992 continued that till 1996 . He was the main star in my opinion out of the kids , of that franchise . Then in 1998 , He went on to a little show called Dawson's Creek . Now I hated the Creek , I thought it was way too dramatic and the names pissed me off of the characters.. Pacey ?? .. What Kind of Name is Pacey? .. I know that was Joshua's character .. But Come On?? .. PACEY .. GAY .. anyway .. He was the only good actor on that show , and Damn Van Der Beek Always got the credit , because he was DAWSON . He Sucked in that show . It was all about Jackson , he was a good guy to Joey , from what I remember reading . I've only seen bits of pieces of that crap. It ended in 2003 , And Joshua fell of the radar for a little . He starred in a few indies , and that Horse Racing Bomb Racing Stripes . Now , in 2008 , He's finally back on TV .. in Fox's New Fringe Starting Sept . 9 , and I have to say , this is a different yet smart move for him . He's used to the Teen Kind of role , but that's so Creek . So , I honestly think this gonna be something good for him, and FOX . I hope the show does well , he truly is one of my favorite actors , and he doesn't ever get in the tabloids , he seems like a private guy , which is something rare in Hollywood these days among his age group of actors .

2. Scott Speedman- Another WB actor of the 90's . Speedman did a few little TV spots before he went on the WB , but nothing big . He started and got his break on the WB Hit Felicity . At the time , I was a little tyke , but I remember my neighbor who babysat me , always watched that show , She got me into it . She was obsessed with it if I remember correctly . Speedman played Ben , Felicty's High School Crush , who she followed to NYU . It always seemed to me , that in the 1st Season , it was really annoying see Felicty go from Ben to Noah , Ben To Noah .. I might have mentioned this in my Teen Dramas Post , yet , this annoyed me to no end . Make up your mind woman! Noah to me , was just annoying , and even though Speedman's character never paid attention to Felicity in High School , He noticed her at NYU . That's all that counts . He's doing well in movies , but I still think he deserves better movie roles , than The Strangers.. He should totally do more Dramas on TV . He was good at it , I can't see him doing horror movies .

3. Scott Wolf - Wolf was a guest star on Two Hit Shows , before landing the role of his career with Party Of Five . He was on Saved by the Bell , and the hit ... Blossom!.. what a show . He played Bailey Salinger , the football star and the 2nd oldest of the Salinger Clan . He dealt with so many problems on that show it was crazy . I know I've stated this before in my Teen Drama post , but I really don't care . This show should've been on a different time on FOX . It premiered right when 90210 was getting big , and it just wasn't the right time for it to premiere . Either way , the way he handled the alchol problems in that show , were quite powerful . A few years later , he went on to play a love interest for Nina in the great show Everwood . He was great on that show as well . Since then , he married RW Cast Member Kelley from the New Orleans Cast . The two have been married since '04 .

4. Rider Strong - SHAWNNN! .. He really is one talented guy . He first came on to scene in 1993 in the ABC TGIF Hit Boy Meets World . He played Shawn , Cory Matthews Best Friend , He reminds me alot of my friends growing up , the troubled kid , who is good with the ladies , but yet still is bit lonely inside . That to me , sums up Shawn Hunter . His Character went through Alcolism for a bit , in a way , The Death of his Father , and not having a real place to live for the most part . Yet , Corey and Shawn were always there for eachother . And BMW is one of my favorite shows of all time . I grew up with that show , Friday Nights were Pizza and Watching Boy Meets World Baby. After BMW ended , Shawn did alot of Indie Movies , and a few Horror Movies in Between , but to be honest , he deserves alot more credit in Hollywood . Just Because you Don't Do Drugs in Hollywood and Go to The Biggest Clubs , doesn't mean he isn't worthy enough to be signed on to a big project . Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever , which he is one of the main characters , is set for realase in Spring of 09 .

Awesome Pilot News .. NBC wants to do 80's Version of Wonder Years

TvGuide Reports , that NBC is looking to do yet another remake . They want to Remake The Wonder Years , yet instead of the 60s the 80s!! Great Idea! It seems to me lately , their remakes for some reason are working for them so they might as well do it ! Bob Brush , the Writer- Producer of The Wonder Years , is back on for the pilot . The pilot is title ," Lost in the 80's" , If any network can pull this off , NBC can . Plus , Eric and Tim Tannenbaum of Aressted Devleopment , are signed on as well! Plus, Mitch Hurwitz of Devolpment . No word Yet , on who will be Kevin Arnold . I'm really liking where this is going .

90210 SERIES PREMIERE RECAP Part 2

We now enter the second hour , and in the first minute Ethan , is shown , what it looks like is Santa Monica .. one of my fav Cali Spots .. is coming out of the ocean after a quick surf , again the same thing happened in the orig . show with Luke Perry , yet that scene happened in the 2nd episode . A few minutes later , Debbie , finds out that Annie lied to her mom about where she was going . UH OH! Next , we cut back to West Bev . and Naomi is pissed and on the war path , after finding out that Ethan cheated on her . Now for the record , if you had a girl like Naomi wrapped around your finger , would you do anything to ruin it ?? Yeah , I wouldn't! The Ting Ting's is playing the background , and Naomi Slaps Ethan . Hells Ya , you tell him! and the second hour officially starts . LOVE IT .

1 Hr. 28 Mins in AHHH!! Brenda's BACK Y'ALL ! Brenda and Kelly's first scene since 1994 !! I love it! In the scene , Nat comes out , and the three hug it out , for old times sake . Brenda and Kelly Discuss Brandon .. Good Ol' Brandon . And discuss that , they need to make up for all the time they've missed throughout the years . What I loved about this scene is , they are making an attempt to include Brenda back in the show , but show that she has defnitely changed , and is willing to stick around with Kelly . Props to them for that one .

The rest of the show was just good but I'd rather conclude this Recap saying this . I truly believe this show will succced . I didn't grow up with the orig . I catched it in Reruns , yet fans of the Orig. will Tune In at some point . If the CW was smart , they will keep the writing as it is . None of this One Tree Hill Crap , no dramatic stuff , just keep it simple. I liked the fact that they like I stated before , kept to the show's roots , but spruced it up to modern standards . If they keep it this way , this show will be a hit like CW is hoping for . Here's what I would Love to See , I would Love to See Tori Spelling come back on . She's been extremely greedy with the whole money issue . Give me A Break , your daddy was Exec . Producer , get over yourself. I would love to see Jason Priestly at some point doing something with the show , either Directing , which will happen at some point or another , or go back on camera . Which is a huge longshot , either way , he willl be involved. It is the show , that started his career .

Until Next Week ,

So Glad It's Back!! .. 90210 Baby .. This is gonna be a hell of a show.

90210 SERIES PREMIERE RECAP

I have to say this was one of the better pilots I've seen in a long time . It kept to the orig . roots but it didn't over do it , and it added some new material to the show as well . Let's start from the begining shall we . To start off , I'm gonna split this post into 2 posts , only because there's so much to cover considering it was a 2 Hour Premiere .

First off , I love the fact that in the opening two minutes , Viva La Vida was playing in the background , and for some reason it worked , and I loved it . Next , in the opening few mintues the new clan , The Wilson's arrive at their Grandma's new digs . Which I have to say is a big upgrade from the orig Walsh Casa . Soon , Dixon and Annie arrive at West Beverly High , which looks the same for the most part , expect it has TV's everywhere in the halls , and high tech computers . One of the Teacher's at West Bev. tells Annie that her Beverly Buddy , reference to the orig . Pilot , would be Namoi , played by the wonderful Anna Lynee McCord. Soon , another refernce to the orig . show is made . Andrea's daughter Hannah , is doing the news broadcasts , and the teacher makes fun of her stating ," She looks like a 30 year old" . CLASSIC . Only because , Gabrielle Cateris in the orignal was pushing 30 when the orig. debuted back in 1990 , man that's harsh . Yet , very clever .

After that scene , the theme song came on . And It was little faster , yet I still loved it . They didn't totally change it , they just spruced it up a bit . Now , 17 Mins into the Premiere we see Nat!!!! It seems to me , good ol' Nat is having a little trouble with the Coffee Machine , same old Nat , I Love It! A few minutes after, the camera cuts to Jennie Garth!! . Still looking good , after all these years. Kelly and new Prinicpal Harry are catching up , because the two of them were neighbors , but Harry did not go to West Bev with Kelly . Soon , Naomi gets into some trouble on the first day , not turning her paper on time. TSK TSK . But , the nice girl Annie is , she offers to help . A few minutes later , you see Mcord and Grimes , side by side , and I realize this ... McCord is really tall , and Grimes is short as hell .

The camera soon cuts to a scene with Louglhin and Grimes , and I soon notice that the two of them really do look like mother and daughter . Great Casting Choice . 45 Minutes into the first hour , we all of sudden see some of the cars these kids are rollin in , and I wonder this . How Much Money Did the CW get for this show?? Some of these cars are crazy expensive . Audis , Ferrairs , are you serious??? The CW is no Fox and no NBC .. where they got this money I'll never know!

The Camera then cuts to Louglhin and Estes discussing Annie and the way they were talking they really were acting like The Walsh's . They are huge Worry Warts , and are very protective of their children . Once Again , this makes me happy about the remake. At the end of the first hour , Namoi's Sweet 16 Party , looks nothing like the party that the pilot had in the first hour of the Orig . Pilot . This party was glamorous , dark , and looked like alot of fun . These Kids Know How to Party Baby .

To end the first hour , I want to state this . For CW this show is a huge risk , alot of sexual references , and they must've said " Ass" about 10 times . But , I think In a way , The CW needs to push the envelope with this show , because if they don't they are Screwed with a capital S .

Quick 30 Rock Update

As I stated over the weekend , Jennifer Aniston will be on an upcoming episode of this season's 30 Rock . She must be in NYC filming it , because TVGuide.com has stated the role she will be playing . Aniston will be playing an old roomate of Liz's named Claire Harper . Supposively , she is the stalker type . This should be funny to watch . Rumor has it , there has been photos surfacing the internet of Tina Fey , Aniston , and Jane Krawoski , all in front of a fountain which seems to me they are spoofing Friends . If they are , which they probably will .. sounds like a great idea . The New Season Premieres Oct 30th at 9:30 .. a lil late than I would have hoped, but what can you do .

Also , did anyone see 90210 premeire?? .. I have to say I was highly impressed , I took notes .. LOL .. So It'll be a long recap tomorrow morning of it .

Also , I'm really curious to see what critics say about the show's premiere . I have to say it was a much better pilot than the origonal . But I'll get into that tomorrow . Also , I'll start Underrated Actors and Actresses tomorrow as well .

Until Then ,

Hills Recap : " Better off As Friends"

I have to say , I liked that last night's Hills was different than usual . There was no Audrina , and no Lo . For the most part , Whitney got most of the air time for this episode. Let's start with Lauren and Brody . Last Night , the two of them went on a little date . Lauren tells Brody , that she's ready to break it off with Doug, and it really isn't working out . The entire time during the date , it seemed to me that LC was trying to tell Brody , that maybe the real guy for her , was sitting right in front of her. Aka Brody . Next , we head over to People's Revolution where for once , Whitney actually meets someone , a model Alex , one of the models that was doing a shoot for Revolution .

I thought it was really funny when Kelly said " This is all Multitasking in the power bitch world" , reffering to the Modeling World. Soon , we go from Cali to NYC , where Whitney is on business. And look who's there! Alex. I liked the fact that they went to NYC , MTV had some good aerial shots throughout the NYC scenes , plus it's nice to finally see Whitney get some action for once. Next, We go back to Cali , where Lauren goes over Doug's house telling him it's over . Why is she over this guy so quick? Whatever. And did anybody notice that for a Minor League Baseball Player , Doug's house was really friggin huge? It's not like he's some star athlete or anything.

Did I feel bad for Doug?? Not really , because to be honest , I'm hoping for Lauren to go back to the Brod - Man , that's my new nickname for him . Like I've said in the past , this guy is the only guy that isn't a total loser in this show . He's genuiuly nice and is a good fit for LC . Next , we go to a scene with Stephanie and Lauren . The only thing I want to point out is , " Kickbacks" , what the hell is a kick back?? Is it some California thing I'm not aware of?? And who the hell says crap like that . Oh wait , That's the Pratt Family we are talking about nevermind .

In conclusion , I have to say , this was a different episode for the show . Yet it worked . Light on the drama , and it more concentrated on the characters than it did all the fighting . This show never dissapoints me . Next week should be good with the Pre VMA Episode at 7:30 on Sunday . Vegas Baby! I hear this one is one of the best ones this season .

Until Then ,

NBC's Must See TV Thursday .. Conclusion

Fav 30 Rock Eps : Blind Date , Tracy Does Conan , Black Tie , The Fighting Irish , Seinfeld Vision , Greenzo , MILF Island , Subway Hero , Sandwich Day!!!

In conclusion , All of these shows have helped NBC on Thursday nights, at one point or another. Either past or present , these shows really are MUST SEE TV in my opinion . If you haven't seen 30 Rock , or any these shows, Where have you been? .. LOL . .. and defnitely check them out.

NBC's Must See TV Thursday .. Part 3

4. The Office - 2005- Present - This show litreally is the best comedy on NBC right now , that and 30 Rock are my two favs on NBC . It litreally is the Definition of the Little Show that could , when it premiered in 2005 , noone at NBC thought this show would last , now it's in Season 5 in the fall! This show is alot like the orgional yet to be honest , it is still a good show . Both The BBC version and this show , are equally as good. The Cast is Perfect. From Micheal to Stanley and everyone in Between the show's cast is one of the funniest on Television . I love watching Steve Carell on screen he's so mean to Dwight and everyone else , yet somewhere the guy has a heart . I met him in person filming Dan in Real Life , he was pretty chill not gonna lie . BJ Novak , he's one of the best actors in recent history , he's so talented it's crazy . I'm a big Office Fan , and I went to The Office Convention with some friends last October , and you could tell , that The cast was as happy as the fans were to be there , Hollywood hasn't gone to their heads yet , they are really just enjoying the ride , and the success that has come with the show . The Best Season of the Show So far in my opinion is Season 3 . With the whole Branch Merger of Dunder Mifflin Stamford/ Scranton becoming one branch was good for the show .

Season 3 also brought some new characters , with one of the best characters being Andy Bernard . Played by the great Ed Helms . Who years before was on the Daily Show . What I love about his character is that all of his catchphrases are the best .. Nipple Chaffing .. every time I watch Fun Run I laugh so hard its crazy . A DO DO A LLA DOO !! .. And every time he sings , its hysterical. Season 4 , was a little bit too short for my liking , yet that was only because of the Writer's Strike . Yet , I'm very excited about Season 5 to start Sept 25!

Fav Office Eps: Diversity Day , Office Olympics , Booze Cruise , Valentine's Day , Conflict Resolution , Casino Night! , The Convention , Branch Closing , A Benihana Christmas , Business School , Product Recall , Beach Games , The Job , Fun Run!! , Local Ad , Branch Wars , Dinner Party , and Night Out .

5 . 30 Rock - 2006- Present- Even though , its been on NBC only 3 seasons , it really is a great sitcom . It's weird , yet you kept help but love it . It's a differnt kind of humor , but it works . Tina Fey 's a genius , she goes from SNL to this ! The cast is awesome , you can't go wrong with Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan in the same cast . Throughout its 2 season run , it has had some great guest stars . Such as David Schimmmer , Jerry Seinfeld , Conan!! , and more . I believe that this show , I hope will get a bigger audience in years to come . I started watching it last year , but I've been hooked ever since .

NBC's Must See TV Thursday .. Part 2

2 . Seinfeld - 1989-1998- What can I say about Seinfeld?? ... It litreally is the one show that gets me in a good mood when I'm in a bad one . It's one of those shows I don't get sick of , even though I've seen every episode .. A THOUSAND .. times , either on DVD or on Reruns , I still watch them . The characters in this show are unique , that 's what made it so popular . These 4 .. Jerry , Elaine , Geogre , and Kramer , they were all mean to people , in the most sadistic ways possible yet , everyone still watched . It premiered on NBC at a weird time , the pilot aired in July of 89 .. then came back May 1990 to finish the season?!!? Weird .. yet it somehow gained enough viewers for a 12 episode 2nd season . In Season 4 , .. 1994.. The cast got Nominated for 4 Golden Globes .. they went home with 3 of 4 . Winning .. Best Actor , for Jerry Seinfeld .. Actress.. for Julia-Louis Dreyfus , and it won Best Comedy as well . At that point , they finally found their audience .

Season 4 is probably , one of their best seasons of the earlier years of the show , it got alot of press that year , and winning the Golden Globes , certainly helped . Seasons 5 and 6 , were good , but Season 4 was one of their strongest . The only thing , fans really complain about , is the Finale of the show . I admit all of them going to jail was a weird way to go , yet it still was a funny sendoff to a great sitcom of the 90s .

Fav Seinfeld Eps: The Statue , The Baby Shower , The Chiense Resturant , The Nose Job , The Trip , The Bubble Boy , The Virgin , The Airport , The Contest , The Pilot , The Marine Biologist , The Kiss Hello , The Enagement , The Soup Nazi , The Calzone , The Bottle Deposit , The Foundation , The Bizarro Jerry , The Little Jerry , The Summer of George , The Blood , The Serenity Now , The Merv Griffin Show , The Slicer

3. Will and Grace- 1998-2006- I don't care what anyone says about this show , anyone can enjoy it . What's good about this show is , it really is laugh out loud funny . The chemistry , between Will , Grace , Jack , and Karen , is always fun to watch . Jack and Karen alone make this show . They are so outrageous , and Sean Hayes is a great actor and is extremely talented . The faces he makes , and the way he acts with Karen , is hysterical . One of the best Will and Grace Episodes , is " A - Story , Bee- Story" , you really have to see it to get it , it's from Season 6 , its one of the best ones , they don't show it alot in reruns for some reason , yet it's one of my favorites . In a way , alot of people don't like this show because of the whole " Gay" , subject matter , and when this came out , I was thinking to myself .. Grow UP .. It's a sitcom , no matter what the subject matter anyone can enjoy it .

It def . was a hit for NBC and it took Seinfeld's Timeslot , once it went off the air the season before . Which in a way , was a blessing , because at the time , Noone at NBC thought it would work on Thursdays , and it did for 8 years . And a good 8 seasons it was .

Fav Will and Grace Eps : Alley Cats , Election , Das Boob , I Never Polished You an Olive Garden , Grace 0 Jack 2000 , Swimming Pools , Movie Stars , Poker? I Don't Even Like Her .. Great Title! .. Whoa Nelly , The Kid Stays Out of the Picture , All About Christmas Eve , A - Story , Bee Story , Fanilow , Christmas Break , The Old Man and The Sea

3 stars from D2 ..which I never knew .. had bigger careers than i thought

I just watched one of my fav movies ever . D2 THE MIGHTY DUCKS .. GO DUCKS GO !!! .. ICEEEELAND .. Love it! .. Anyway .. I looked online , out of all of the actors all went out to much better careers than I expected . With most of these mid 90s Disney Stars ... they had one hit with Disney .. or in this Case 3 Big Movies , and then they were never heard from ever again . Not the case here . Goldberg , played by Shaun Weiss , is not only from NJ ! .. MONTVALE! .. But he went on to guest star in Various Shows .. including Boy Meets World .. in two episodes playing a college student .. at the fictional Pembrook . Also , both Marguerite Moreau , aka Connie .. was on Boy Meets World as well back in S2 .. months before D2 Premiered in theathers .. she also went on to guest in the following shows .. Lost, Blossom , What About Brian , 3rd Rock from The Sun , Smallville , The OC , Ghost Whisperer , A reccuring role in Life as we Know It , and most recently as early as this august 08 , MAD MEN .. That's huge .. To be on Mad Men... she must be doing well for herself .. good for her . I love Mad Men , I haven't seen the episode yet , im a little behind , I'll have to catch it .

Next , her love interest Garette Ratliffe Henson .. who played Guy Germaine .. he recited the line .. one of my favs.. " I WAS THIS CLOSE!! " .. to Aberman .. has appeared on Doogie Howser MD , Melrose Place , and recently .. NCIS , Cold Case , and Close to Home . It seems to me , that he gets alot of little indy films from his bio that I found online . I think its pretty funny that all three of them were all on Boy Meets World . .. The last actor, Brandon Quintin Adams , appeared on BMW .. literally a month after Moreau was on .. That's weird as hell . I guess Disney liked them enough as actors to have them all on the show ??

Adams has appeared on A Different World , Sister Sister , Quantam Leap , Martin , and Even The Fresh Prince of Bel - Air .

In conclusion, I guess these actors in a way , got really lucky , or Disney liked them enough to refer them to other studios after The Ducks Franchise ended in 96 . I have to say , I'm really impressed , and Connie looks really different kinda .. she's not as wholesome looking as she was in the Ducks Movies . Like I said Before , good for them , I'll have to look out for them in the future .

Until Later ,

NBC's Must See TV Thursday

NBC's Must See Tv Thursday , defined the 90s and helped NBC get more ratings and build Thursday nights again once Cheers left back in 93 . Then , On Sept 22 , 1994 , my Birthday!!! ... a little show .. called Friends came on the air , and changed NBC Comedy forever . At the time, every star at that show were unknowns , yet who couldn't help but love Joey , Ross , Rachel , Pheobe , Monica , and Chandler. The show was a huge hit that first season , and continued to air on NBC for 10 Seasons. So Here are the Best Must - See Tv Thursday Shows from Friends To Present Shows ... NBC's Must See TV has always been a part of my TV week .. And in a way ... it's a great way to start the weekend .

1. Friends- 1994-2004 - One of the best Sitcoms ever , this show was the show everyone talked about on Friday Mornings . It was the Watercooler Show . How can you forget The Rachel?? ... Ross's Love for Rachel .. Joey's Goofyness... and the way Chandler talked.. always made me laugh. This show never gets old . With 10 seasons , this show never dissapointed me . What was so great about this show , was the chemistry of the six . These six actors , truly were great Friends . Not once throughout its 10 year run did any of them want more money than someone else . They all wanted to be paid the same salary . That kind of stuff, doesn't happen in Hollywood anymore. Jennifer Aniston is still great Friends with Courtney Cox , and they still all keep in touch today . I was always amazed at how the six of them , really did get along on screen and off . You could really tell when one of them went on a Talkshow and talked about their cast members and how they truly did love one another . Their bond , is one of the most UnHollywood Like Bonds in TV History . I saw the set , on the WB Tour last summer , sat on the Central Perk couch .. and literraly was in Heaven . It was pretty cool . It looked exactly the same as it did when the show was on TV .

Halfway through the show's run , Matthew Perry had some trouble with Drugs .. you could tell because he looked kinda run-down , and overweight during that period of time . Yet , everyone in the cast .. wanted to do everything they could to help him . NOONE IN HOLLYWOOD .. would pull that today . Hollywood now , is completly different than it was back in 04 . Today , people would spread rumors to the press .. to make him look bad . Not these guys , they were truly a great friend to Perry . I will never ever stop loving this show . It is one of the best sitcoms in NBC History .

Season 1 - The One With The Blackout , The One Where the Monkey Gets Away , The One With the Boobies , The One Where Rachel Finds Out .

S3 - The One With the Football , The One The Morning After , The One With Ross' Thing

Also, the creator of CSI has announced that he will make a digitial novel , he will make 7 altogether , the First to be released in the Fall of '09

Some Quick Breaking News

First Off , read 2 days ago that NBC has tapped Micheal Phelps to Host the SNL Season Premiere on Sept 13! HELLS YA . Also , Musical Guest will be Lil Wayne . Only Because , NBC said, " We wanted someone who was on Micheal's IPOD during the Olympics, to be on the show" . Wow , thats a dumb reason . Either way , it should be a good premiere . Also , TV Guide reported that he is also going to have a quick cameo in an upcoming episode of Entourage . The cast and crew will be filming some scenes in NYC during the same time Micheal will be in town during rehearsals for SNL . No date has been decided when the episode will be airing . I'll keep ya posted.

Second , This is somewhat old news , but my boy , Luke Perry , is going to be on Law And Order: Criminal Intent , in an episode that will be airing in October . Luke Perry is the man , very underrated as an actor , it should be an interesting show for him to guest on .

Until Then ,

TV Shows with Great Soundtracks .. not for composing Pt 2

3. Beverly Hills 90210 - This show not only was popular , but featured alot of artists during the college years of the show and not only their music , but had them perform it as well . The Cardigans , a very well -known Scotish Band , performed on the Season 7 Finale at Kelly's Grad Party . They even thanked them for so called " inviting " them to perform . It was pretty funny . Then the year before , The Goo Dolls performed Numerous Songs from their first album , so that was huge for them at the time , both the show and the band . The credits , had great shots of Beverly Hills and great music as well . Ace of Base , Dave Matthews Band , alot of REM , especially in the later years . REM's classic " Nightswimming " , off the Album " Automatic for the People" , played when Brandon left the show during season 8 . That song I heard back when it came out was always the song to play at college parties . And It was always played as the last song , so in a way , it made sense to play that song . Considering he was leaving the show that started his career in Hollywood .

4. Entourage - Entourage .. is the best show on HBO right now . It's funny , and the music makes it . At first I was speketical , ya know . With Mark Whalberg Exec . Producing . I admit the first season , was just ok , but after that it's been sick as hell ever since . The music is all Rap , and it fits in well with the whole Hollywood Lifestyle of the show . When the credits roll , they play all that really gangster rap , and half of it is Underground , yet it works . They made Saigon a star , he's everywhere now . It's crazy how music can make a show and the artist more popular and rememerable . I can't wait for season 5 to start .

MTV's Got Good Shows?? Part 2

5. Celebrity Deathmatch - 1998-2007 - Celebrity Deathmatch . What can I say ? Has watching Clay Animated Celebrities be hilirious or what . The concept is simple , pop culture fights , expect real people its clay . Those two announcers were great . I remember Johnny was the funnier of the two . They came up with such great matchups . Especially the one with Gwentyh Paltrow . At the time , Shakespeare in Love was popular movie . So they made fun of her about that . After 4 Seasons , MTV took it off the air , probably due to the many complaints from celebrities they portrayed on the show . Then , in 2006 , it was Reborn on MTV2 and ran for another 2 seasons . It didn't do well. It wasn't funny , I didn't even bother watching . Either way , I give MTV props , it was a pretty graphic show for their standards , and by airing that show , they pissed off alot of people.

6. 8th and Ocean - 2006- This show was extremely underrated when it came out . The girls were hot , It Wasn't Fake , for MTV , and it was interesting to see how Modeling really is tougher than most people think . These kids were really just trying to make it through the modeling business , expect they were being filmed at the same time . It only lasted like 10 eps or so . For a while , MTV talked about another season . But then I think , they got too involved with the Hills , and forgot about it . The best character on the show was Whitney , she was this short Burnette girl from the south who had a really god personality , great body , the only problem was , her parents were extremely religious . Her dad didn't want her body being expolited . I understand that point , but if you're gonna do an MTV Show , that's what comes with it you idiot!

MTV's Got Good Shows??

MTV these past couple of years , has been slumping in some departments of their network . But , there was a point in time , where their programming back in the early 90's up till about 2002 -03 , where music ruled , TRL was one of their top rated shows , and their was no such thing as alot of reality TV on MTV's airwaves . So I decided , to make a list of shows that were probably some of the most overlooked shows MTV has ever aired , yet they are some of their best ever .

1. Singled Out - 1996 - This show was MTV's first Dating Show . This show started Jenny Mcartney's career . This show was on every weekday , at 3 or 330 if I remember correctly . It was an entertaining show to watch . Jenny Mcartney made it funny because she would always rip on the contestants . The whole point of the show was they took Single College Kids and MTV would set them up on Dates . They had a few hosts througout the show's run . There had to be 2 or 3 hosts at most . But Mcartney was the best . She was hot , ripped on the contestants, and made the show funny to watch every day . MTV should bring this show back , because most of their dating shows now are so fake it's not even funny .

2 . The Real World- 1992- Present - Ah , The Real World . One of my All - Time Fav Shows . Yes , You might think it's all fake , some of it might be , but it is the first as everyone knows , reality show on Television . The First Cast in New York , was differently unique . I have seen in interviews and read , that when the castmembers got into the house , they had no idea that this was gonna be such a hit , and in the process they made MTV history . The Real World is MTV's longest running show , with Season 21 in production as we speak , The MTV crew is in Brookyln shooting. Suppposively , RW Brooklyn is premiering in January . I love this show alot actually , even though it can be over the top , I honestly , pathethic as this might sound , I've seen almost every season . I really hope they never do any more international cities , because with those seasons , it's either hit or miss. Anyone remember RW London back in ' 95?? Ya, I didn't think so , even MTV trys to forget that ever aired.

Fav RW Seasons : RW Miami , RW San Diego , RW Back to NY , RW Hollywood , RW Las Vegas , RW Seattle( Why doesn't MTV air this one anymore in reruns??) , RW Boston , RW San Fransisco .

3. Laguna Beach - 2004-2006- Oh LAGUNA ! .. Love this one .. The Debut of the Beautiful LC .. Of Course .. Like all MTV reality shows , has its fake stuff , but watching this show , you kinda forget about it . What I like and still do about this show , is that the characters are relatable . At your High School , there was a Stephen Colleti , there was a Kristen .. There was an LC .. at some point in time . Hell , you could have been one of them in some shape or form. The drama was always the best part of this show . That coniving Kristen . Even Heidi was in this show .. you might not have recongnized her , because she looked crap half the time . AHH POOR BABY . Either way, the fans always loved , the relationship between Stephen and LC . It was one of those TV relationships that you always rooted for the two of them to get together again , but it never panned out . She was always, and still is , my favorite from that show . Also , how can we forget Talan .. what a dumb name .. yet that guy was cool as hell . Every time I watched , I literally was like .. what a cool dude .. he was kind , genorous , and to be honest one of the few MTV characters that really didn't let fame go to his head like some of the others did .

Fav Laguna Eps : The Bonfire , The Last Dance , Graduation Day , Dunzo , Winter Formal, Don't Hate The Game , Our Last Prom, I Saw You Kiss Her .

It is one of my all time Guilty Pleasure shows ... but i can't help not to like this one.

4. Road Rules - 1994 - Present - The spinoff and another show that Bunim/Murray Productions created . Now , it wasn't as popular and never really did get as much credit at MTV as The Real World has , but it is still a cool show . They get 6 kids or so put them in an RV and film them traveling for 3 months . In the first few seasons, people were watching . After about season 11-12 , it took a couple year absence , came back , and totally bombed . Ever since , it hasn't recovered . The best season I think was RR : Semester at Sea. It was cool because these cast members came from all different countries and lived on a cruise ship for 2 months or so . That season was the debut of the ever popular Veronica , and all those fights that came with that season , I'll never forget . I think I liked the fact that that season they weren't on an RV and they did something different with the show , and it worked.

Fav RR Seasons: RR Semester at Sea , RR Latin America , RR Australia , RR Xtreme .

The Hills .. What a Great Start .. DOUBLE RECAP

WOW .. what a start to S4 For The Hills Hotties . That Damn LC .. she always looks awesome week by week .. I have to say that Premiere was amazing .. The music .. The drama it was perfect . Let's start with this . Who felt bad for Lo?? I literally felt so bad the entire time watching it . It's like she was trying to rekindle issues with Audrina , yet Audrina was like .. FRIG YOU .. basically and gave her attitude and told her .. " We can never be friends" .. Harsh ... She doesn't deserve that .. I've always thought Lo was one of the nicest girls to come out of these reality shows .. She isn't fake like Heidi and Spencer . She actually has a heart . If I was Lo , I'd be like Screw you .. and I'd do whatever possible to get the girl out of my CASA . If you all remember correctly the Orig . Roomates was always LO AND LC .. not The 3 of them .

So in a way , Audrina deserves to get her own place .. and move out . It'd be better off , and it's gonna happen . My prediction give it till Episode 5 . By then the show is in full swing , and that'll give them time to fight a little . And then She'll go . Anyone else with me??

Let's move along to this week's episode ....The best part of this week's episode .. had to be when as soon as Heidi and Spencer came in .. EVERYONE .. was like .. BYE BYE .. That was hysterical . They really are that mean . Lauren and Lo left .. Brody .. who Honestly .. is the only guy with brains on this show ... said .. " I don't need this drama , I want to have fun and have a good time " . HMMM .. interesting . I thought it was great that everyone really does hate their guts .. and the problem .. isn't LC or Lo .. its the Evil Duo .. HEIDI AND SPENCER .. I rest my case .

Lastly , I loved the whole talk between Spencer and Stephanie ... " I DON'T WANT YOU ROLLING AROUND WITH THAT POSSE" .. WHAT A FAG .. Who says stuff like that?? Like really .. MTV should make a book .. THE BEST SPENCER AND HEIDI QUOTES .. because they've made their own language thoroughout the course of the show .


Until Next Monday .. Well .. will it be on Labor day?? .. well .. either way ..

Gotta Love It .. Man Spencer Pisses me off ..

P.S. WATCH THE DAILY SHOW ... YOU ALL KNOW WHY .. GO OBAMA

ABC Family's Best Show .. GREEK

I admit I started watching this show a little late , yet I caught up with what I missed pretty quick . With most of ABC Family's Original shows these days are really childish , and get too much credit from critics . Greek Doesn't . What I like most about this show is that it makes Greek Life look fun , yet realistic at the same time. None of those cliches about Greek Life , for the most part its stays true to Greek Life. I love the diverse characters throughout the show as well . You have your ditzy girls here and there , but every now and then they do something that will usually shock the audience watching . My favorite character though is Cappie . He acts as though he doesn't care about the other pledges , mostly Rusty , but in a way he does . He is one of those guys that acts like your typical fraternity guy , yet deep down he has a heart. Yet , he has a hard time showing it sometime.

This show is by far one of the best College shows ever . It in a way reminds me of Undeclared , one of Judd Apatow's first projects . Like I said before its realistic , belivable and fun , all at the same time . These characters truly have heart. And it shows. Another likeable character is Rusty's older sister , Casey . She's the President of ZBZ , yet alot of characters on the show , give her crap just because she's the president . Yet, she's the nicest one on the show . She doesn't do bad things to the other ZBZ ers and she treats everyone with respect . That's my kinda girl .

The funny thing about Casey is , in real life , she 's Kelsey Grammer's Daughter . She looks nothing like him . I didn't believe it at first , yet after finding her bio , it said , Daughter of Kelsey Grammer . Crazy Huh? The show is back starting Tonight at 9 at on its new night and time , which works better for the show . I thought Mondays at 10 pm was not a good fit for the show .

In conclusion , this is the only orig. show on ABC Family that isn't overhyped , and is actually enjoyable . For Real, Does anyone watch That Middleman show .. the one about the superhero or some crap. It looks like they are making fun of the superhero genre by creating that show . Either way , Greek deserves a chance if you've never seen it . I gave it a chance , and have enjoyed it since .

Until Later ,

TV shows with Great Soundtracks.. Not for Composing Music!

There are many shows that have been on Network Television and cable that have great soundtracks , and for some artists the shows have given them a chance to really make it big in the music industry . So here are the shows... Enjoy .

1. One Tree Hill - 2003 - Present - I have never been a fan of One Tree Hill , only because Chad Micheal Murray annoys me . Either way , the only thing I like , they have good music . Their theme song , by Gavin Degraw is defnitely catchy . And because of that song , it def . made him alot more popular . Before that song , not alot of people knew who he was at all . This show helped his career alot . The show has released a numerous amount of Soundtrack throughout the years . Three to be exact . The show has also launched the career of another artist . Tyler Hilton. I've never heard his music but I hear good things . The show has also helped the careers of Jack's Mannequin , Haley James Scott, and Nada Surf , to name a few . By putting these artists on their show , it gets their name out , and what better way to put your name out than on The CW's biggest show.

2.The O.C. - 2003-2007- I love the O.C. , it's one of those shows to me , once you start watching it , you get addicted . One of the best things about the show is the music that comes with it . Adam Brody's character Seth , is a big music lover , and he loves great music . Rooney, Ben Folds, Death Cab , to name a few . This show , made Rooney famous. At the time , their album just came out and it was a huge success for them to be on the show on the Season 1 Episode " The Third Wheel" . If it wasn't for that episode, they wouldn't be popular today .

MTV's 25th VMA's and Why It's gonna suck hardcore

The VMA's one of MTV's biggest events of the year , has always drawn big stars and performers year after year , but this year , one question ... what the hell are they thinking ???... Russell Brand ... as the host??? .. ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME!!!! .. Why ?? .. He's only been in a few movies ... and one of the only reasons MTV picked him because he worked at MTV UK .... give me a break . HMM ... Seth Rogan .. he has a movie coming out ... This October , or any other friggin star . BUT RUSSELL Brand !! You know that half of the MTV Audience will be like who is this guy? Maybe if they got a decent host it be alot more entertaining .

The hosts for the VMA's have always been good . But ever since about 2005 or 2006 , it has started to go downhill . Last years was a diaster of a show , Who couldn't forget Britney's Spears Horrible perfomance to open 07's broadcast . The Girl , does not deserve a second chance . If you mess up that bad , you shouldn't be alllowed to perform on an MTV Awards show for like 3 years . Not one ! As I Said before , what are they thinking??? Her Kiss , or the kiss heard around the world , back at the 03 Show, was one of the best VMA's of all time , to bring her back after last year's debacle and all the bad press that came with it , is not worth it for her and anyone at MTV .

Next , these performers are the worst I've seen in a lonnng time . THE FRIGGIN JONAS FREAKS .. I mean brothers ... give me a break .. Lil Wayne ... so soo .. But MTV is selling out with those Jonas dorks . They are a fad , that will go away in a year or so . Also , Lil Wayne is good , but it's a typical MTV move . Lately , all MTV does it put performers on that will make them get the bucks and viewers. No matter how bad or stupid , they will air their crap . For example .. THE JONAS DORKS .. that will be my new nickname for them .. they give my state of NJ a horrible name . Now, if I was running the show , I would hire Natasha Bedingfield to perform , instead of some of these losers that are performing this year. She has had a good summer . She was on the finale of Degrassi , on the N , plus she had a hit with Pocketful of Sunshine. I swear to God , if MTV signs some EMO Band to the bill at the last minute ... aka some kind of Fallout Boy crap ... I will literally scream at the TV .

Lastly , I heard real briefly MTV was planning an NSYNC reunion for the 25th show. Wait , a good idea!!!??? About Time ! Will it happen?? Who Knows at this point . I read that they all agreed that they wanted to do a reunion yet , MTV hasn't offficaly confirmed it . I hope it happens , if anything it will be one of those surprise performances at the end of the show or something.

In conclusion , with a bad host and most of the performers being absolute losers , if this show is good , it will be a huge surprise . And I know for a fact , Britney Spears if she was smart , which she ain't , she will not PERFORM. Maybe for the '09 show it'll be a better show .

Best Nick Shows of the 90s.. Conclusion

7. Roundhouse - 1992-1994- Before there was All That , there was Roundhouse . Roundhouse was one of the first shows in the Nick's Snick , Saturday Night Lineup . This sketch comendy was different from All That , because even though it was a sketch comedy show , the whole point was to teach children a lesson through their comedy sketches . What was cool about this show too , the actors were all from different countries . There was even a girl from Austria! If I remember correctly , this show was on at 8:30 , right smack in the middle of Snick .

What really was touching about this show was the life of one its cast members . His name was Dominic Lucero , who before Roundhouse had a cameo in the Disney movie Newsies . He was diagonsed with Lymphatic Cancer , and had to leave the show , after the first season . He then appeared in the show's third season every now and then . Yet , every season his name and picture still appeared in the show's opening credits . In the last episode of Roundhouse , they ended the show with a " In Memory Of Dominic Lucero" , who died in Aug of 1994 . He was only 26 years old , he was supposed to have his 27th birthday that August of 94 .

I don't know why this show didn't last past 94 , Part of it could've been the death of Lucero , and part of it might have been that most of the producers on the show wanted it to end , and at this point , sad to say , is when Nick slowly started to go downhill .


In conclusion , Nick by 1999 or so really started to go downhill . Too many stupid cartoons , and not enough Live Action Comedys . Nick Back in the day, when I was growing up it was all about the Live Action Comedys. Not Friggin Rocket Power .. or Jimmy Gaytron .. whatever his last name is . Some of These shows especially Salute Your Shorts need to be realased on DVD , for the true Nick Fans , not for the " New" Fans of this generation of Nick .

The Hills: An MTV Pop Culture Phenomenon

Since its induction into Television a few years back , The Hills have changed MTV . The ratings are out of this world crazy , ruling Monday Nights at the 10 P.M. Slot . Each Season , it gets more and more over the top yet it still reigns suprememe at MTV. I admit , It's one of those guilty pleasure shows that you don't like to admit that you watch but you do anyway .

I know I do . You might be thinking , only girls watch The Hills . Nope . I Believe that anyone can watch any show on TV . Either way , what makes this show is the Drama , and the characters that come with it . You have Lauren , or " LC " , The Blonde , the girl you just want to cuddle with because she's just so friggin adorable . Then there's Audrina , The Rebel , The Girl who's Hot , and she knows it , yet loves to stir up trouble and makes the show that much more interesting . Finally , you have the villans , Heidi and Spencer . The characters you love to hate . They're coniving , outrageous , and just plain irritating . Yet , they keep you coming back on a weekly basis . This is MTV's reality show of the 00's Generation . No show on MTV history , reality or music realted , has succeded like the Hills has. No show has ruled magazine covers in the U.S. and abroad like they have .

I believe this season will be just as good as MTV promotes it to be . Bring on the Drama Baby , Hills Style . Team LC as the fans say , will reign the airwaves yet again .

The Olympic Recap ... Thus Far

Oh the Olympics , a great American Summer Past time . I'm one of those die hard fans that watch the Primetime Stuff , no matter what's on . I'm that hardcore with it . Gymnastics , Swimming , (Phelps ! , Coughlin!) , Water Polo , Diving , Women's V-Ball , (That Misty!!) . I watch them all. My favorites though are Swimmming and Women's V-Ball. That Misty May , she kills that ball every time on the court! Also , I can't remember watching swimming and being this exciting , night after night . NBC should seriously release a DVD of all of Phelps' Gold Medal Races . It could be called, " The Road to Gold" . Eh , Good Title Huh. Seriously , this guy is so marketable it's crazy .

His reactions after he wins alone spells posters for lil teeny boppers everywhere to hang on their wall . If NBC was smart , they'll Phelps' posters after the Olympics games are done . Post- Olympic Gear Baby!!! . I think the one thing that has been debatable these entire Olypmics is the way China has been treated during these games . It seems as if they are breaking every rule in the book , yet because they are the host country , it is somehow okay . And to be honest , it's not , it's totally crap . For example , every girl on the entire Chiense Women's Gymnastics Team are completly underage . Their passports say they are of age! BULL . That's the biggest lie I've ever heard . Good thing Finally , Yesterday , they finally get to their senses these morons on the Olympic Committe , and put in a full investigation into their Gymnastics Team . Also , If any other team were being questioned because of age requirements they'd be DQ'ud on the spot . But , Because China is the host country noone really cares. It's about time someone is .

Also , that Baseball game that was played earlier this week , was ridiculous . Horrible sportsmanship on both sides , yet the media Blame the U.S. for the " Brawl" that occured. Not China . I rest my case on that issue . Either way , this Olympics have been the most exciting sporting event all summer . And Defnitely the Best Olympics I've ever watched . Lastly , am I the only one tht thinks the entire U.S. Men's Basketball Team Literally loves Micheal Phelps? I Think they are literally huge Phelps Phans!

Cheers ,

Best Nick Shows of the 90's Part 2

4. All That- 1994-2005 - This show was by far the one I was really obessed with . I remember when I went to Universal Studios in FL years ago , I got an All That Shirt , and I weared that thing like crazy until it didn't fit me anymore . This was my SNL before I could understand the jokes on SNL . This show was apart of Nick's Snick Lineup on Saturday Nights . And Every Saturday , Come On Now , You Know You Watched It . The Early Years of the show were the best , Josh Server , Kel , Kenan , the fabulous , Lori Beth Dinberg! . They were always a hoot to watch week by week . These kids were truly talented . Then , in the middle of the show's run Amanda Bynes , Yes , Amanda Bynes breaks out on the show back in 96 , and stayed until 2002 . She made this show popular again in the middle of its run , and in way , made herself marketable as well . She soon got her own spinoff , The Amanda Show , and became a huge star on Nick . By 2000 , most of the cast left , and they re-built the show with other cast members . By then , the show was still getting viewers yet it wasnt as good . Jamie Spears , yes Britney's Sister was in the Cast , and after that , it just started to go downhill .

In 2005 , the show ended after 10 Seaosons on Nick , and ended the show with a 10 Year Reunion Special . Which In My Opinion , was a good send off to a great show . What was great about this show was the performers and the great sketches that came with them . Good Burger , which later produced a movie , Ask Ashley , Gotta love that , and Kenan Sitting in a Tub Talking In French! This show was pure genius , and I'm glad The N , is showing re-runs on a daily basis in the afternoon .

5. Gullah Gullah Island- 1994-1998- O MAN .. CLASSIC! .. Every Morning .. During NICK JR. I would watch this .. It was so strange , yet that little Binnah Binnah , what a cute thing , whatever he was , made me laugh every morning . I even saw the set in Florida , yes readers , it was mostly filmed on a soundset in FL . The rest of it if I remember correctly was filmed in the Carribean , Maybe Jamaica , I don't remember . Either Way , this show made you smile , and recently , I found the Theme Song , on the great YouTube and went nuts . Just to see that Lil Binnah Binnah , and Ron and Natalie again , made me smile and laugh . That Theme Song .. Wow Brings Back Memories! Grant It , I was only 7 or 8 when this show was on yet , Kids Today , even watch it , on one of Nick's Sister Networks , Probably Noggin . Either way , you learned some life lessons , Colors , Dumb Shit , but at the time , it was useful . This show was always a fav of mine as a little tot ,and will always be remembered . That Lil Binnah Binnah !

6. Nick Arcade- 1992-1993- This show was awesome , A Game Show where the whole point was that you were playing Video Games . Genius . Yet ,the Graphics were crap , but who cares at the time noone cared . The concept of the game show was new and creative and fun to watch . I remember this show being on like reallly early on Saturdays. I wanna say 7 AM ! But , when you're little you get up early , to watch shows on Saturdays . This show was bomb , a classic , they probably still play it on GAS . Not sure , but it was awesome as hell . Phil Moore , he was the man , Full of Energy , this guy , woke you up , just by watching him on Sat Mornings at the crack of Dawn . This show couldv'e lasted longer , it should still be on today to be honest. They could play XBOX Games or something instead of the crap games they had at the time!

Best Nick Shows of the 90's Part 1

There was a time on Nick , where they actually played shows that were watchable , and I would actually tune in on a regular basis . That's the purpose of this countdown , to go down memory lane , to when we were little tots , and to go back and time to when Nick ruled the cable world , and everything was right in our little hearts.

1. Legends of the Hidden Temple - 1993-1995- Who Didn't Love this Show?? Every kid at my age , at one point or another watched this show , and rooted for their favorite team . Whether it be the Blue Baracotas , or The Purple Jaguars , you were always rooting for these kids to win . You were also jealous and wondered , why can't I be on this show?? It was a fun show to watch , the host Kirk Fogg , what a name , was always encouraging the kids , no matter how bad they sometimes did . It always seemed that you defnitely learned some ancient Mayan history from watching Legends , and I think that's what made it so fun . It was fun to watch , and you learned some stuff in the process . They even sell the T-Shirts that were worn on the show . You can find out on many sites for reasonable prices .

2. Salute Your Shorts - 1991-1992 - How did this show only last for 2 Seasons , and 26 Episodes?? Was Nick pulling a BBC with the Episode Count on this one?? This show is by far Nick's most rememorable sitcom of the early 90's . Way Before All That , and Kenan and Kel , you had Salute Your Shorts . With It's Classic Theme Song , and It's out of this world Characters , you couldn't help but laugh at these character's antics at the Historic Camp Annawanna . Now , Grant It , these kids , I don't think have really done anything else other than this show , but it was so popular at the time , that people still talk and reminisce about it today . For a while , Nick Gas , would play it over the summer , as part of their Camp Gas , Summer Schedule . But by 2004 , Nick Gas stopped doing that , and stopped playing Salute Your Shorts all together . What made this show so enjoyable was Donkey Lips . He was the lovable guy , who you just couldn't help but love the character. He was always getting into trouble with just about everyone , causing a stir at Camp Annawanna . It doesn't make any sense to me , this show , was probably the biggest hit at the time it aired . It aired on Sundays, and still did well . And If I remember correctly , it was on at like 5 or 6 in the afternoon. What A Random Time ! Either Way , It's a show that needs to be on DVD , and this guy would be the first on line to get a copy .

Fav . Salute Your Shorts Episodes: The Radio Call In Contest , DonkeyLips Crush on Dina, Budnick Loves Dina .

3. The Adventures of Pete and Pete - 1993-1996- O Man ! .. PETE AND PETE ! .. This show was weird , not gonna lie , Pete and Pete , was one strange show . With the weird mom , and the wacky dad , this one was a weird one to watch . But in a way , everyone , including me , loved this show , and couldn't get enough of it . The cool part about it is , it launched the career of Michelle Tratchenberg, who would later go on to star in Harriet The Spy , (Classic Movie!!) , And Eurotrip. This show was about two brothers , both named Pete , who lived in New Jersey!! .. My Home State .. and the wacky adventures these two would encounter . The Chemistry between the two Pete's are great , and it made it that much more fun to watch . I always liked this show , and still watch my DVD's of the first two seasons today .

Favorite Pete and Pete Episodes: What We Did on Our Summer Vacation , New Year's Pete , Insepector 34, and Spalshdown .

The Mole .. The Best Reality Show of the Summer

This show has been on for a while , but I just started to get into this past June when it first premiered . And let me tell you , from episode 1 I was hooked . This isn't you're typical reality show . It isn't no American Idol, Survivor Crap , this is truly a game of WHO Dun It . And week by week , this show kept me guessing on that question .. Who is the Mole?? .. And every week , watching this show , your opinion changes frequently . I know mine did . Any many others . What makes this show unique , it has drama , but you almost feel and know , because it's truly a " game" , that the only person acting , is the Mole .

The Mole is the only one , that knows who the Mole is , noone else does . It amazes me that these contestants can go through 10 Weeks of all that , and never know till after filming who was being paid to trick everyone . And I was defnitely surprised to find out Craig was the Mole ! This guy is your lovable type . Big guy , he's like the Rueben Studdard of this show . Well - Liked , Kind , wouldn't hurt a fly . But, week by week , these producers were telling him to sabatoge missions and tons of money , on a daily basis . That's crazy , and it's nuts that from Day 1 Paul knew it , that Craig was the Mole , and he was the only one from Day 1 .

I feel that Mark Defnitely deserved it , he played like a champion , like a winner , he took it more seriously than anyone else on the show , remember how mad he got when they burned his journal?? At that moment , you truly knew how much this guy wanted this money . He deserved it . And at the End , he got the money . All $420,000 of it . That's alot of money for a HS History Teacher . And the best , sweetest part is , He didn't win the money for him . He did it for his pregant wife , so she didn't have to work anymore .

I loved the fact in the final minutes , they brought her out , and everyone said , especially Paul .. He was the first one to say it .. You Deserved It .. And He Really Did.. This guy worked his butt off .. and for one person .. not himself .. his wife .. that my readers .. is one person that deserves to win something .. not these other losers on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN'T DANCE ..the stupidest most dumbest show FOX has ever created .. COME ON NOW THE WINNER ON THAT CRAP GETS TO BE IN A MUSIC VIDEO?? .. BIG DEAL .. This guy .. Worked Hard , not for himself , but for his wife .

I really hope this show gets renewed , I've been hearing the ratings for this year, after it's absence on the air , has affected the show . But I hope ABC will think in Consideration , that this show has heart and interesting to watch , I actually learned some georgraphy about Argentina and Chile from this show. YOU CAN'T LEARN SHIT FROM SO YOU THINK YOU CAN'T DANCE .. Pardon My French . .. Anyway .. This show deserves a renewal and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN'T DANCE .. my nickname for that crap of a show .. deserves no credit .. this show does .

Best Teen Dramas Ever .. The Conclusion

5. My So - Called- Life - ABC- 1994-1995- This show was probably ABC's most controversial show of the early 90s. It stars the then young Claire Danes , as Angela Chase , who we see go through the trials and tribulations a normal teenager goes through . What made this show enjoyable was the relationship Angela had with her best friend , Rickie . Now, Rickie is a guy , and he's gay , and this point in time , Gay characters weren't really heard of on television yet. My So - Called Life was probably one of the first shows , maybe even the first to have a recurring gay character on their show . This show made Claire Danes a star. It's a huge Cult Hit , even though it only lasted for 19 Episodes . I feel America , at the time , wasn't ready for what this show was tackling at the time . One of the first Episodes , dealt with a character having a reading problem , something that many teens have problems with today . Shout Factory! Recently Re-Relased My - So- Called Life on DVD with more extras and interviews from the origonal cast members .

Favorite My So Called Eps: Dancing in the Dark , Halloween , Life of Brian , and Resolutions .

6. Degrassi: The Next Generation - 2001-Present - Even though this show is a Candidian Import , it is one of the most poplular shows Canada has ever had . This is the third spinoff , from the Origonal Degrassi: Jr. High , which first premired back in 1987 . One of the reasons this show is still on , because it tackles issues that most shows are too afraid to write about . In its 8 year history , there's been gun shots , Gay Male Characters and Female , Pregancy , and more . It shows what real teenagers go through and not in a sugar coated way . Yes , it is a drama , but it's a good show to watch . It has one of the largest ensemble casts in recent television history , it just recently finished season 8 in Canada, and its airing season 8 now currently in the US on The N. I admit that that the first 2 seasons were somewhat weak , but after that the show found its groove . I think as the characters have gotten older , the show has only gotten better with time . I think it's funny that they finally are graduating Degrassi High after all these years . It's probabaly the most popular show in Canada , now , and it still will be , for years to come .

Favorite Degrassi Episodes: Whisper to A Scream , Take On Me , Time Stands Still, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For , Working for the Weekend , Everything She Wants .

Best Teen Dramas Ever .. Pt.2

Happy Friday All!
Here's Pt. 2 Of the Best Teen Dramas Ever !

4. Beverly Hills 90210- FOX- 1990-2000 - This show made the teen drama genre what it is today . It was considered and is the first teen drama on Television . At the time of its airing back in 1990, critics were spectical of the teen drama and the show itself .But the show became a huge International Hit , and Redefined the Fox Brand , which at the time needed a show to boost their reputation . This was the show . Everyone in the 90s watched this show. 90210 revolves around The Walsh Family , and their two teenagers , Brandon( Jason Priestly) , and the Infamous ( Shannen Doherty) , who because of these roles , would become superstars in Young Hollywood . By the end of Season 1 , it was a huge hit . The show decided to do something at the time , was not heard of . In The Summer of '91 , they premiered " Summer Shows" , Wow what a concept! But at the time , noone did it . So they started their season in July with 7 Straight Episodes! Pretty sweet , then they came back in Early September , and by Sept they were ahead of everyone in Episodes , but Christmas they were 15 Episodes into their season . Most shows by Christmas reach about 8 episodes , but 15 is unheard of . By May of '92, They finished their second season with a total of 28 episodes. Then , Season 3 started, the gang's senior year at West Bev. , Which is Prob . one of the best seasons of 90210. At this point , everyone on the show knew they were gonna stay at FOX for years to come , after a highly successful second year . The third season was so rememberable because the show was more dramatic than ever ,
and everyone loved it .

Dylan's Father Died , Donna (Tori Spelling) , got Drunk as Hell at the Prom , and Everyone was mad at Eachother . Now , we enter the college years , which for 90210 were their most succesful years of their 10 year run . This season , would be Shannen Doherty's last . To make a long story short , everyone hated her . She was always late, she didn't get along with anyone , especially Jennie Grath , They still refuse to work with eachother today . To be honest , most of the cast members , especially Jason Priestly and Tiffiani-Amber Thessian , still see eachother today . Yet , noone talks to Shannen . Poor Girl .

As Season 5 approached , Valerie Malone entered the cast , played by Tiffiani - Amber Thessian . She basically took on the bitchy role that Brenda left behind . Everyone on set was alot happier without Doherty . As the College Years Ended in Season 7 , The ratings were just as good as they were back in the earlier years . Now , grant it , at the end of Season 7 , its May 1997 , how much longer can this go on for?? Well, it went on until May 2000 so another 3 seasons . I love this show , but in some ways , I think they needed some work after Season 7 ended . At this point , new characters were coming in and out of the show , which made it confusing to follow , plus with Luke Perry gone , He left in Season 6 , but re-appreared in Season 9 , go figure , everyone was starting to leave and move on to other projects . Jason Priestly was ready to only Exec. Produce and Direct Episodes , which he was doing anyway , along with Brian Austin Green . Yet , I think at this point , Jason Priestly felt he was too old for the Brandon Walsh character .

By November of Season 8 , Priestly and Theissen both left one episode after another . It made sense , yet after that , the show went downhill . The Storylines seemed to drag to long than they should , the writing was awful , and the new characters sucked . Noah , was the only good one , played by Vincent Young , he was alot like Valerie , a troubled past , alocholic , that kind of crap . Yet , he somehow really never seemed to fit in with the rest of the cast . Then , Season 9 the WORST season of any show I've ever seen . And I like this show . But , At this point the Producers at 90210 knew that they're days at FOX were done , and they had a great run . Yet , they needed something to boost the ratings . So , they begged Luke Perry to come back , and there he was on the Thanksgiving Episode , arriving on The Walsh's doorstep , and Brandon doesn't even live there anymore . GO FIGURE . But , it's now Steve's house . Give me a Break .

The last season I won't even get into . Let's end it at this . Vanessa Marcil entered the cast in Season 9 , only because Aaron Spelling created the bitchy , Gina Kincaid character just for her . And she was brilliant, if only she came on the show sooner. In all , this show is by far FOX's most popular show of the 90's and when it premiered it really saved FOX . They were just starting off , and this was their first big drama hit . 90210, I've noticed this cast really truly cares for one another . Brian Austin Green still talks to most of the cast members . And Jennie Grath still talks to Tiffiani- Amber Thessian , they actually became real -life best friends , even though their characters hated eachother on the show . And Priestly and Tiffiani-Amber Thessian , have dinner together on a weekly basis at Casa De Walsh .

Favorite 90210 Episodes: Beach Blanket Brandon , Spring Dance , The Twins , The Trustee, and The Very Big Trip, Midlife , Now What? , Dead End , Radio Daze , Intervention , Buffalo Gals , Angels We Have Heard on High, You Say It's Your Birthday , and the Phantom Of CU .
