As we have officially returned back to regularly scheduled programming (Amidst the horrific writer's strike - which continues to halt production here in Los Angeles and now apparently around the entire world). Friends, neighbors and countrymen/women - Stop the MADNESS!
Where's The Promised Hollywood Ending?
Before we begin today's escape, I wish to quickly mention just as friends at the Weinstein Company, we are also in the process of making our own deals with independent writers - if all of the independents joined together, we can force an end to this debacle. We need a Hollywood Ending.More Reality on The Schedule
Now, on to a more hopeful subject is the new and returning reality offerings for 2008.
I am often asked, do I know about shows before the air on television - um...YEAH! Sometimes I hear about shows a year or more in advance and by the time it is aired I am usually thinking, "Did we not already see that show?".
The second most frequently asked question is "Do I actually watch reality shows?". Again, yes. When I make time, I am usually watching a reality show or a movie when I REALLY create time.
So, let's see what we will be watching this season (Yes, you may print this list and tape to the refrigerator):
- American Idol 7 (FOX), Jan. 15
- My Fair Brady…Maybe Baby? (VH1), Jan. 20
- Millionaire Matchmaker (Bravo), Jan. 22
- Gauntlet III (MTV), Jan. 23
- Survivor 16 (CBS), Feb. 7
- Big Brother 9 (CBS), Feb. 12
- Baby Borrowers (NBC), Feb. 18
- Pussycat Dolls 2: Girlicious (CW), Feb. 18
- America’s Next Top Model 10 (CW), Feb. 20
- Oprah’s Big Give (ABC), March 2
- When Women Rule the World (FOX), March 3
- Dancing with the Stars 5 (ABC), March 17
- The Bachelor 12 (ABC), March 17
- Top Chef 4 (Bravo), March 19
- Hell’s Kitchen 4 (FOX), April 1
- The Real World Hollywood (MTV), May 21
Not to worry, there are many more reality shows beyond May 21st and I will provide witty analysis (aka 'Comment') on each of the shows as we near closer to the broadcast date.
We can still look forward to the debut of Randy Jackson's Best Dance Crew (Formerly known as World Moves), Farmer Wants a Wife, and My Dad is Better Than Your Dad (Return to 5th grade - this is not part of the title, however the statement should be)...
As well, all of this reality fare around Superbowl 500 (Not really, I am just feeling largely despondent that my Seattle is no longer in contention for the title, for yet another year!).
Wait There's More...
Having said, future Blogs are guaranteed forthcoming on the new shows, such as Millionaire Matchmaker (Bayonne Entertainment), Baby Borrower's (Love Productions), Oprah's Big Give (Produced by Harpo Productions), When Women Rule the World (Rocket Science Labs) - which promises to be not only realistic (IMHO), but as well, entertaining - Can you say, "Man Servant?" - this should be good fun!
The good news is that from the appearance of the above schedule, you should have continuous reality entertainment each and every night of the week (Or, at least that is the idea)...
