Welcome To Your 2009 Reality!

Hey Fans!

Happy New Year -

Just returning from the holiday break and there is a ton of 'stuff' to address.
I have thousands of emails (Not that I read any of them - who has time?!), voice messages, text messages, Twitters to catch up (I call them Tweets), Myspace friends, Blog postings, Skype calls, YouTube video updates, evites, meeting requests and whatever other form of communication we choose to use in this modern age of Social Media!

So, today let us get right down to business....

There are a number of new shows, which are apparently all debuting this week - Ha, welcome back! Here is what we have for your television viewing enjoyment (Pithy commentary included from Yours Truly):

• Countdown to the Crown (TLC) -- Season Underway --
  I like the idea of this show, and in fact had a similar idea about 2 years prior. However, I just cannot determine why I am largely not interested.
  
  
• Confessions of a Teen Idol (Vh1) -- Season Underway --
  I had seen the debut episode of this show. Really, I only recognized 2 out of the what 6 former Teen Idols? Eric Nies from the Grind (MTV) and Jamie Walters from 90210. My initial thought was positive - Vh1 has stepped up and debuted a show that is worthy of the time spent.
  
  
• Superstars of Dance (NBC) -- Season Underway--
  Well, I am a little 'Danced Out' at the moment. Let me know if you catch this show.
  
  
• The Bachelor 13 (ABC) January 5
  Oh, here we are setting ourselves up for failure again - will this be the season where the 'Love' is actually meaningful and lasting? Hopefuls unite!
  
  
• True Beauty (ABC) January 5
  Tyra, is that you again?
  
  
• The Biggest Loser 6 (NBC) January 6
  Have you seen Celebrity Fit Club? It would be a blast to merge the two shows together, "The Biggest Loser Celebrity Fit Club" - I am just full of ideas (-?).
  
  
• Homeland Security USA (ABC) January 6
  Yeah, sounds political. Let me guess, more inconvenience and missed flights over a tube of toothpaste at the airport?!
  
  
• 13: Fear is Real (The CW) January 7
  Fine, a Horror Reality Show...Fear Factor meets Saw meets Blair Witch Project - is that not what most so called "Horror" movies marketed to young adults consist of?
  
  
• The Real World Brooklyn (MTV) January 7
  I like RW, but all of the episodes are beginning to become predictable with the same predictable casting of the same predictable characters.
  
  
• The Exterminators (A&E) January 7
  Got Pests? Do they have to be bugs, snakes or rats?
  

Let The TV Show War Begin
Amazingly, you will notice there is more than one show debuting on the same night - nothing like a game of competition between the networks.

The winter season is truly one of the most important times for viewership and audience metrics, as this season largely determines the pace of the entire year. Get ready for Fox to join fray with the return of American Idol, later this month. Should be good fun.

Alright, I have said more than enough...Let me know which shows you decide to watch and we will discuss later. Happy viewing!
