Please don’t forget Season 3 Premiers tonight on the History channel. The new season is filmed in Alaska, and features 2 returning drivers (Hugh & Alex) as well as 6 new drivers. In Prudhoe Bay, a network of ice roads in the tundra crisscross river systems & open ocean to connect America’s booming North Slope oil fields to dry land. Every winter truckers have less than three months to shuttle critical supplies over the ice. There’s only one way to get to this remote location: 400 miles of ice-covered, mountainous terrain known as The Dalton Highway. This is a great show about men who do what most want just to make extra money. If you haven’t seen the show now is the time to go out, and buy the DVDs. Dont forget 9pm/8C.

History Channel’s "Expedition Africa" Review

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Who hasn’t heard the phrase “Dr. Livingston I presume”. Starting tomorrow on the History Channel a new show starts adding to the history of adventures. Four explores set out to follow the footsteps of a journalist Henry Morton Stanley who set out to follow Livingston’s journey through Africa trying to see what happened to him. Livingston disappeared in the 19Th century. He dedicated his life to stop slavery. Four brave people now set out to go on a long journey through places most people don’t travel or would dare hike in. The navigator is Pasquale Scaturro, The wildlife expert is Mireya Mayor (she’s cute), The survuvalist is Benedict Allen, & how could you not retrace the steps without another journalist who is Kevin Sites. All four team members will face many many many things in the Jungle,Swamps, Mountains, and Barren deserts. Its always nice to see different places, and how people live/cope with where they spend their lives. Being put in a place you have knowledge about, and are aware of the dangers doesn’t mean your safe 100% for an expedition. This show keeps you on the edge. Just think how primitive survival tools were back when Livingston/Stanley went on their expeditions. Now also know that not much has changed. You can bring the best of the best with you People/Tools, but that doesn’t help you from mother nature, and animals/Bugs. This is definitely worth your time to watch that only 2 other people have done. It is surreal the views, & experiences they will live through. All four team members will travel nearly 1,000 miles in 30 days. It will be amazing to see what will happen. Please watch the premier on Sunday the 31st at 10pm/9 Central.

ABC’s "Wipeout" returns

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

This show has everything you want in a game show. Meaning you can care less who wins because it’s so dam funny watching these people wipeout. The second season aired yesterday, but you can watch the full episode at ABC.com. I have to ask this though they must have the most weirdest try out auditions in the world. It seems these people are a breed of their own. All and all it makes for good TV. I mean who doesn’t love the Big ball’s jokes.

NBC’s "Medium" Moves to CBS

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Who would of thought that a hit show would move to the only network that only has like three great shows. Word is “Medium” received a cancellation notice. One day later CBS picked up the show. Question is why doesn’t this happen with more shows. Anyways the show will be put in a Great slot right after “Ghost Whisperer”. It shocks me that NBC would get rid of a great show when they are Second to CBS in Crap TV programing. At least rumors will be held back and the everyone involved still has a job. My only worry is that it is on CBS. Most shows fail due to bad marketing, and on the other hand some Excel with no promotion. The TV industry will always leave us hanging, but at least we can say another show is saved.

Prison Break "The Final Break" Review

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Maybe I should retract my words about how the show ended on FOX. Without giving away anything for those who haven’t seen it all I will tell is little detail. Apparently following the dramatic finale, which jumped four years into the future, this special edition fills in the gaps, and tells us what happened to Michael, and Lincoln during those missing years. “The Final Break” continues from the season four series finale, and will be exclusively broadcast on Sky1 in the UK on Wednesday May 27, 2009. Again its always funny how OTHER COUNTRIES get to see our home grown shows first. Only good news is I’m glad there is an explanation to OUR USA finale. If this is a joke of the Spin off series featuring a women’s prison knowing FOX they should just give up now before ruining what WAS a great show. Again at least there is more to the crappy ending. Good luck FOX on DVD sales knowing this airs in another country first. But than again the UK does have better shows, but get canceled just as fast as FOX does here. Again on the other hand I’m glad there’s more footage to answer questions that will be shown in another country.

Shocking Renewals & New Info

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

The word is FOX has renewed “Dollhouse” for next fall. We should all find out for sure on Monday. It’s a shock now a days that FOX renews anything. Also which shouldn’t be a shock is ABC’s “Castle” is picked up for another season along with “Better of Ted“. Just also a reminder ABC has given the green light for “V”. If you don’t know what I’m talking about do a search on my blog. Also FOX has renewed “Fringe” for a second season which I think has to do in part with J.J.’s new Movie “Star Trek“. Believe it or not a First for FOX they have given a Second Season to a show that hasn’t even premiered yet. FOX has renewed so to speak Seth Mcfarlane’s ” The Cleveland Show“. Just so you know the first season will have 22 episodes Hopefully. Don’t forget about all the shows coming back to TV, along with new ones. Most important is the NEW “SYFY” (New Name) Channel’s “Stargate Universe“. Please see below trailer for this Great new show.

End of A Show

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

I have to say, and ask at the same time what is or was the best ending to a show. Most of us won’t remember a show’s ending when we were kids. My Favorite show of all time was “Married With Children”, and I don’t remember how that ended. The same can be said for my second favorite show ” Three’s Company”. Now a days we are used to shows ending before their time, and we are left with a crappy endings that still leaves us hanging on for more. The worst part is we are so pissed off knowing we wont get the answer. The writers kill the original story to cut it short, and end the show. I’m saying all this because of FOX’s “Prison Break”. As good as it WAS having the title Prison break, and breaking out of jail we all knew the show wouldn’t last long. For those of you who haven’t seen it I wont ruin it for you, but its sad how writers make the finale so sad, and do things you think are an end when you know it was forced, and not meant to be. At least ABC’s “Lost” has a time frame for their ending. Hopefully that will be better.

Kiefer Sutherland Really Jack Bauer

Friday, May 8th, 2009

As most of everyone knows by know “Keifer Sutherland” is at it again. We all remember the YouTube videos of him jumping into a Christmas tree drunk. On the other hand if you think about it in FOX’s “24″ when was jack actually paid for his work? Probably only season 1.Only reason I laugh at his latest escapade is because he thought he was standing up for “Brook Sheilds“. Of all people it’s not like there’s anything to gain from that besides being on FOX’sTMZ. If you don’t know what I’m talking about I’ll fill you in real quick. Basically he head butted fashion designer “Jack McCollough” at a shindig. Brooke has told friends she was indeed “jostled” by McCollough just before the headbutting, though she says it was “no big deal.” Brooke says after McCollough made contact with her she fell, but not all the way to the ground. She doesn’t believe it was intentional. If you ask me if Kiefer was drunk or not, defending any person no matter how messed up from pills they look is still a great act on his part. You just got to love the picture of the damage.
