ANTM Goes Raw

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

amis2.jpgI had to DVR America’s Next Top Model again this week as I wasn’t around to see it live. But I actually like that better, since I can fast forward through anything I just don’t want to deal with. It was also a good thing I did, because I was so annoyed by Dominique’s crap, I had to go back and watch it again. Why is she so conceited???

Then there is Lauren on the other side, so completely humble. And Amis is just annoying. She looks like she should be old enough to know better, but I have to remember that they are all still very young.

Fatima acts like she’s above the rest of them. She really didn’t walk well, either.

I didn’t like those chicks picking on Whitney. I’m not sure if she does really stir up trouble, but it seems to me that she mostly tries to defend people who are being picked on. Although, she did side with whatshername last week (the one who was eliminated and whose name I have already forgotten and am to lazy to go look up) in the Barbie doll fight, which wasn’t cool.

Katarzyna definitely should have won the walkway challenge, but I felt bad when she chose Amis and Marvita to go with her. Neither of them was as good as some of the others.

As an aside, watching Saleisha (from last cycle) in the Cover Girl commercials is a bit uncomfortable. She talks like a robot. This. is. my. life. as. a Cover Girl. Its just weird.

As for the photo shoot, it was really gross for them to have to put on that raw meat. I’m not a vegan or anything, but after that I’m about ready to be. I’m a firm believer in having my meat thoroughly cooked - burnt even - so raw meat makes me want to yak.

If it was my call, I’d get rid of Amis or Fatima. Both are annoying.

I could barely look at the pics, cause the meat thing really grosses me out. And I notice in Tyra’s picture, she didn’t have to wear any meat.

So Fatima stays and Amis leaves. I think that’s probably right, cause Amis didn’t seem to care that much. I must say, that she was very mature in her final words, so maybe all her goofiness was just her being nervous. I hope she does well in the future.

CW Renewals and Don’t Forget Beauty and The Geek Premiere Tonight

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

supernatural.jpgIn my Internet travels today, I came across an article detailing the shows that the CW is renewing for next season.

The show I’m most excited about is Supernatural. I was nervous and so was the show’s creator, Eric Kripke. But luckily for all of us, the CW has renewed Supernatural for a fourth season!! And there’s still new eps to air this year, so as far as I’m concerned, its all good.

The CW also renewed Smallville for it’s 8th (and probably last) season. I’ve read elsewhere that they are probably gonna use this season to tie up all the ends and bring Superman up to true Clark Kent adulthood. I’m just not sure how they plan to make him a nerd with glasses.

Other shows renewed by the CW are Gossip Girl for its 2nd full season, One Tree Hill for a Season 6, and sitcom, Everybody Hates Chris. Also, America’s Next Top Model was renewed for both an 11th and 12th cycle. No word yet on new shows Reaper and Aliens in America. I’d like to see Reaper renewed cause I think the show has potential. Don’t forget that there are still three new eps of Reaper to watch starting this week on Thursday, March 13 at 9:00 pm. You should check it out and see what you think if you haven’t seen it yet.

beautyandthegeek_lrg.jpgFinally, don’t forget Beauty and the Geek. The fifth season premieres tonight, Tuesday, March 11 at 8 pm. It’s worrisome that it would premiere opposite the Top 12 singing from the Lennon/McCartney songbook on American Idol, but that’s why we have DVRs, right?

ANTM: 4-Year Olds in Lingerie

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I usually enjoy makeover night on America’s Next Top Model. I like it, cause we usually get at least one meltdown. And that’s fun. I guess I could have called that it would be Fatima. She’s really getting on my nerves. Fatima is too rude, Allison is too full of herself, Dominique is too overbearing, Amis is too opinionated. And that’s just in the first 5 minutes.

cw-antm10-allison-container_010637-ce18dd-500x649.jpg
I was glad that neither Allison or Fatima did well on the Cover Girl challenge. They are both annoying. Although I don’t think I like Clare’s looks that much. Also, I didn’t like that Whitney was siding with Allison in the doll-playing stuff. I mean, what was that? Are they 4-year olds, with all the name calling?

Does it seem like so many of them went from dark to blond or red? Why do you think that is? I like dark hair. I definitely liked Whitney better with dark hair. I also think that Anya’s lighter hair makes her nose look bigger. Aimee looked good. I don’t know what they did exactly to Marvita. It looked OK, but I couldn’t really tell what was happening on top. Lauren ended up looking very sexy. Katarzyna (could she also change her name, cause I don’t think Tyra says it the same way twice) looked good with dark hair. Claire just looked weird. Allison also looked better with darker hair. Dominique looks way better without all the frizz. Stacey-Ann looked OK, but it wasn’t what I would have picked for her. Amis didn’t really look too different, but I liked the longer hair. Fatima looked way better. The tears were not necessary.

As I watched the photo shoot, I couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for these chicks who think they are so hot, but in reality suck. No wait, I don’t feel sorry for them. Never mind. As for the photos, none of them looked that great to me.

So on to the cuts. Let’s hope we lose either Allison or Fatima. Or Dominique.

Allison was pretty on the outside, but she was not a nice girl. So she’s not really a loss. But I have a question, what color was Dominque’s hair supposed to be?

ANTM Cycle 10 Has Some Surprises

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

kimberly2.jpgOne thing it was good to see on America’s Next Top Model is that lots of these people really are deserving. They discussed being homeless, living in shelters. I’m no bleeding heart, so that’s only gonna take is so far for me, but its still good to know that they aren’t all people who were failures as models already. I get enough of that on American Idol this year. The year of the has-been.

I know it’s only the second week, but I am already tired of hearing about the genital mutilation. I mean, I’d be OK if they never mentioned it again, but it seems pretty doubtful.

Surprisingly, more of them did well on the initial runway show than I thought would. Of course, some of them were really bad.

As for the fashion shoot, I thought they also did OK, but it really showed who could follow direction and who couldn’t. I still don’t have a good idea which one of these chicks is which, but I’ve already figured out which ones I don’t like. I’m pretty tired of the little blond annoying chick, Kim, who won’t support the purchase of expensive clothing. Um, did someone explain to her about modeling?

I think I’ve also had enough babble from Amis and lack of entire personality from Fatima.

I was surprised that they replaced Twiggy with Paulina Porizkova. I guess I shouldn’t have been when they all met with her at the beginning. But what can I say, I’m slow.

atalya2.jpgMy further impressions:

Lauren is pretty, but just too sloppy and awkward.

Anya is also pretty, but her nose looks a little big in her photo.

Amis is friendly, but just too over the top for me.

Aimee looks very different in her picture than she does in person.

Fatima is getting on my nerves. She’s so robotic. She did take a good picture, though.

Dominique was told she looked like a drag queen. I don’t get that.

Allison didn’t take a good picture at all. But I don’t really know much about her yet.

Whitney is just beautiful. She took a great pic, too. I hope they keep her around for a while.

Marvina just seems to have some issues dealing with others, but she’s pretty.

Katarzyna has already been on my nerves for the way she keeps telling people how to say her name. You have an unusual name, get over it.

Claire reminds of Julia Stiles, only taller and darker.

Atalya hasn’t made any impression yet, which can’t be good.

Stacy-Ann is cute, but a little too perky.

Kim is annoying me with her ‘tude. It wasn’t even a shock when she said she didn’t want to be there. Actually, it gave me a happy.

I assumed there would have to be another elimination since they started out with one too many people, but I thought it might happen later in the season. In any case, I guess I called it. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who didn’t remember Atalya.

Get ready for makeovers next week.

ANTM Cycle 10 is Off to NYC

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

cw-antm10-whitney-container_010071-a96893-500x636.jpgAmerica’s Next Top Model kicked off Cycle 10 last night with a gaggle of pretty little princesses. Most of them seemed pretty wild this time. Not the same tame but boringly weepy little girls as usual. But maybe its too soon to comment on that yet. I’m not gonna waste a lot of time on the people who didn’t make it. I want to just give my initial impressions of the top 13, wait, make that 14, girls who will now be in the competition:

Allison - she seems like she thinks she knows more than she really does, but she’s really, really pretty.
Fatima - she has a bit of an attitude, although I thought she had the right of it with those “ghetto” chicks. I can just see that causing trouble.
Katarzyna - just seems very foreign, which makes me wonder, why is she on America’s Next Top Model.
Kimberly - she comes across as way too young. I’ll bet she’s a crier.
Stacy Ann - I just have a vague feeling that she’s gonna be kind of annoying. But we’ll see.
Amis - (one of the changed-name Amy’s) she’s beautiful and very classic looking.
Aimee - seems like she’s cute, but not too polished yet.
Claire - she’s a little weird. I mean the whole baby and breast milk thing. Ewwww.
Whitney - she’s a plus sized model and I thought her looks were arresting from the first moment I saw her on the show. I hope she lasts longer than other plus sized models have on this show.
Marvita - this is a second chance for her, and I think she seems much more together than last time. We’ll see.
cw-antm10-dominique-container_010092-d127e0-500x636.jpgLauren - she’s just seems sloppy and not well put together. Like she’ll be this year’s Heather.
Atalya - I don’t really have any clue about her.
Anya - she was a little annoying, but sometimes people are just hyper. I’ll give her a chance.
Dominique - was kinda too domineering for me. They may have made a mistake adding an extra spot for her. But we’ll see.

I’m not making any guesses at this point. Let’s wait and see how they do next week.

What’s Happening on the CW

Friday, February 8th, 2008

reaper1.jpgReaper is back in repeats. But it’s opposite American Idol and I don’t get that. Does the CW want the show to die? I’m not saying everybody watches American Idol, but everybody watches American Idol. Reaper is definitely a niche show, so I just don’t see how anyone, just because they don’t watch AI, is just gonna stumble on it by mistake or anything. It should be somewhere more better.

I realize its just repeats, but this is the perfect opportunity for them to find the people out there who would like the show and want to watch it, but missed it the first time around. Most of them are watching American Idol. I’d bet on it. Then the plan, as of February 28, is to move Reaper to Thursdays, right into Supernatural’s spot, which I like even less. Plus, I don’t see how that will help. I guess Smallville is a good lead in show, but it obviously hasn’t helped Supernatural, since it’s disappearing from the schedule altogether. I don’t want them messing with Supernatural.

As far as what else is happening on the CW, America’s Next Top Model is starting up cycle 10 on February 20 at 8 pm, which is good. But also, they starting a new season of Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious on February 18 at 9 pm. Yuck! I mean, what is that??

Anyway, they have moved a few other things around, too, so here is the schedule for The CW’s midseason:

Monday
8:00 pm - Gossip Girl (Beginning January 28)
9:00 pm - Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (Beginning February 18)

Tuesday
8:00 pm - Reaper (From January 15 - January 28)
8:00 pm - Beauty and the Geek (Beginning March 11)
9:00 pm - One Tree Hill

Wednesday (Beginning February 20)
8:00 pm - America’s Next Top Model
9:00 pm - Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious - Encore

Thursday
8:00 pm - Smallville
9:00 pm - Reaper (Beginning February 28)

Sunday (Beginning February 10)
7:00 pm - CW Now
7:30 pm - Everybody Hates Chris -Encores
8:00 pm - Everybody Hates Chris
8:30 pm - Aliens in America
9:00 pm - Girlfriends
9:30 pm - The Game

So there you have it. The new line up. Tell me, where is Supernatural?

Who Needs New Shows?

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

My New Years was a very nice, quiet, restful day. Thanks for asking.

My husband made the mistake of telling me that I could watch the big TV (our new 42″ LCD HD flat screen with surround sound) all day long. Then he remembered about the history making, ground breaking NHL game between Buffalo and Pittsburgh that was being played outside in the football stadium in Buffalo. He was pretty sad. Meanwhile, I sat around watching reruns of America’s Next Top Model and Monk. He felt it was a real waste of all that TV. Probably he was right, but a deal is a deal. Besides, we lost anyway.

moonlighting.jpg
I also watched an ep of the Moonlighting DVDs I got for Christmas, Seasons 3 through 5. The first ep of Season 3 is all about David’s dad getting married to a woman that David has a “history” with and David being all stressed out about it. Turns out, she was so drunk she doesn’t even remember him. So basically, all the misery and gnashing of teeth was for nothing. But it did make for some fun times.

What was even more fun, at the beginning of the ep, they had tagged on a little welcome back to the new season scene. It starts out with them introducing themselves and across the screen it says something like, “filmed before the 1986 Emmy awards.” The phone rings and Maddy answers it, hands it to David and tells him its his mother. David then has basically the same conversation with his sick mother (she’s on an iron lung) and her doctor. “It’s in the bag, 16 nominations, we can’t lose. They won’t vote for him again, he won last year.” Stuff like that. Then the doctor apparently tells him that his mother will pull through if she gets some good news. Just before they cut to the credits there is an acknowledgement on the screen, “In memory of Irma Addison” with her date of death listed as September 21, 1986. I did some research. That’s the day that the Emmy’s aired and although Moonlighting was nominated in more than a dozen different categories, they only received one Emmy, for editing on a particular episode (and they had two nominations in that category, so it would have really been hard to lose).

Just another reason why I loved this show.

Winning Role Models

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

saleishatyra.thumbnail.jpgI wasn’t at all surprised to see Jenah leave first last night on America’s Next Top Model. I believe I’ve called for her to come in third at least a couple of times over the last few weeks. (It’s OK, you don’t have to congratulate me or anything.) Although, I was sorry when she cried and was talking about having to raise her little sisters by herself. I didn’t know that and it was a bit surprising.

In any case, I wasn’t really surprised to see Saleisha and Chantal as the top two, even though I had some worry a while back that they were grooming Heather for the top spot. I have to say that Saleisha has always been one of my favorites and I thought she and Chantal were among the best.

Which, as it turns out, they were. I thought it was interesting to see that little clip where Saleisha says to Chantal at the very beginning, “Let’s be the last two standing.” It does make you wonder a bit if this whole thing is rigged. I don’t know that I think it is and it doesn’t really matter to me that much. I’ve pretty much always thought American Idol was rigged, and I love that show. I don’t watch reality tv cause I’m truly expecting reality, I watch it cause it’s entertaining. Sometimes. Now that I come to think of it, I do believe that ANTM and AI are the only two reality-type shows that I actually watch. Oh, wait, and Hell’s Kitchen.

Anyway, back to the subject at hand. In watching the runway walk, I did think that Saleisha was much stronger than Chantal - although, I really felt sorry for Chantal when that guy fell on her dress. You could just see that she wanted to turn around and help him back up, but realized that she couldn’t do that. Then, when the judges were telling them how they did, even though most of the positive comments went to Saleisha, you could almost see a look in Chantal’s eye that said she was confident she had won. Saleisha, on the other hand, looked hopeful, but unsure, like she didn’t think she really deserved it. I thought that was interesting, cause it does seem like the most confident person should win and, also, I thought maybe they were faking us out by only showing the negative criticism of Chantal. Apparently not.

saleisha2.thumbnail.jpgOverall, even though I didn’t call it, I’m glad Saleisha won, cause I think she’s adorable and I think that she really was one of the best there, especially role model-wise. Good luck, Saleisha!!

Model Behavior

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

top4_1.jpg
Wow, I really didn’t think Bianca would be going anywhere this week on America’s Next Top Model. I’m really off my game. My game’s left the country. And the way she left, with Tyra telling her that she just didn’t have the natural chops to be a model and the other girls were pretty much there. Yikes! That hurt me and I wasn’t even there. I know Bianca has been a first class bitca, but still and all, it seemed pretty harsh to me.

I really thought it would be Jenah, cause she’s been whining so much about being homesick. When she was saying about how she just wanted it to be over cause she missed her bed and family, etc., I was thinking, honey, when it’s over, if you win, you’re not really going back to that bed. And then Miss J told her the same thing, but they still kept her over Bianca. Well, maybe she’ll be that unknown third person like I said a couple of weeks ago. I mean she even admitted that she doesn’t know who she is, so how the heck can she excpect the rest of us to have a clue.

So the Top 3 are Saleisha, Jenah and Chantal. I think either Chantal or Saleisha would make a great Cover Girl, cause they are both so upbeat and fresh-faced, which seems like Cover Girl to me, plus both would do well in Seventeen magazine, cause they both look young. Well, of course, they both are young, but still sometimes models and actresses look a lot older than they really are, probably from their unusual lifestyles and, maybe, all the makeup. It can’t be good for your skin to be constantly covering it with tons of makeup. I don’t know where that came from. Just another weird little side effect from having my brain.

Anyway, if I’m picking a winner now . . . um, I still don’t know. But its not Jenah.

Don’t Worry, Top Model is Almost Over

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Heather, Saleisha, Chantal, Bianca and Jenah. Who will go home tonight? If I had my druthers, it would have been both Heather and Jenah. I’ve just gotten so very, very tired of Heather whining about everything. Asperger’s is a form of autism, so obviously some things can’t be easy for her, but still, does she have to continually whine? She chose to be in this competition. Just deal with it already. Also, she is kinda creepy looking sometimes, isn’t it? Oh well, buh-bye Heather.

And speaking of Jenah, what’s up with her ‘tude? She just really thinks she’s all that, doesn’t she? Hopefully, she pulls it together so we don’t have to deal with that next week. Also, why is it that every time Nigel is the photographer, one of the girls says something stupid and rude to him? Could it be him??

bianca-antm.jpg
I was glad when Bianca won the challenge, cause although she’s often a jerk to the others, I think she really, really wants this and she seems more focused than the other girls. Plus, she doesn’t act like she’s got it all sewed up like some others who will remain nameless. *cough* Saleisha and Jenah *cough*

Actually, this week, they could have just cut right to panel and I would have been OK with it. Not that it was all bad or anything, but it was just mostly people wandering around aimlessly which isn’t my fav thing to watch.

And tell me, during panel did anyone else think Tyra said “Mister J, Afro Man” instead of “Miss” J? And shouldn’t it be Afro Girl or even Queen of the Afro? I wasn’t taping, so I couldn’t go back and check.

Watching CW

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

Just to keep up with strike issue and holiday programming, I’ve checked out the prime time schedule on the CW for the next couple of weeks. The CW shows its own programming from 8 to 10 pm Sunday through Friday, and local programming on Saturday night. Here’s the scoop:

Sunday, November 25
Tonight, they are showing a repeat of New Life is Wild and, as always on Sunday, an encore of the latest ep of America’s Next Top Model.

Monday, November 26
Monday is the night of the sitcom at the CW and this week there are all new programs all night, which are Everybody Hates Chris, Aliens in America, Girlfriends and The Game.

Tuesday, November 27
Both Beauty and the Geek and Reaper are new this week. Of course, being reality TV, Beauty and the Geek will be new regardless of the strike. There probably aren’t too many weeks left though.

Wednesday, November 28
Wednesday has another reality show, America’s Next Top Model, which has about 3 weeks left, plus this week, a new Gossip Girl. At first, I thought of watching this, but somehow, I never got around to it. Some of the previews I’ve seen, though, have not at all captured my interest.

Thursday, November 29
Unfortunately, both Smallville and Supernatural are repeats this week, which makes me very sad.

Friday, November 30
The CW has the Friday Night Smackdown each week, and being a form or reality TV - or do they consider this a sport? - its a new ep.

Sunday, December 2
New Life is Wild and encore of ANTM.

Monday, December 3
All the sitcoms are all repeats.

Tuesday, December 4
Both new Beauty and Reaper.

Wednesday, December 5
All new ANTM and Gossip Girl.

Thursday, December 6
Again, *sigh* repeats of Smallville and Supernatural.

Friday, December 7
New Smackdown.

Sunday, December 9
Once again, we are treated to a new Life is Wild and an encore of the latest ep of ANTM.

veronicamars.jpg
Just for fun, here’s a link an Ausiello report of the 20 things he’s thankful for this year. It’s worth it, just for the link to the what could have been Season 4 Veronica Mars trailer, so check it out.

Next Top Loser

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

heather.jpgAmerica’s Next Top Model surprised me this week. Usually I’ve got a pretty good idea of, maybe not who’s going home, but at least who will be in the bottom two. Although, this week, I really did think that Jenah was going home. Mostly just cause she’s so very, very dull. I mean, someone has to get that chick a personality.

As they were calling the girls up at the end, I was naming them off in order, perfectly, up until number four. I thought Lisa would stay and Jenah would go. I mean Lisa did mess up, but not really any worse than Heather. I guess Lisa would cave under the pressure. No one would know if Jenah did, cause she has no emotions whatsoever, as far as I can tell. Of course, we do only see what they want us to and, possibly, Jenah’s a real chatterbox who whines and cries and laughs and parties til dawn, but they just don’t show that stuff.

In any case, I’m still not sure who I want to win. Lisa was too emotional, Heather is too whiny, Jenah’s too dull, Chantal doesn’t seem so bright, Bianca is just not very nice, and Saleisha (I always remember her last - what do you think that means?) is starting to be kinda smug.

It looks like they want Heather to win, which does not make me happy. Does it also seem that the girls this year aren’t nearly as pretty out of the makeup. I mean in the pictures, they’re all gorgeous, but just standing around, not so much. Except for Saleisha, who’s cute no matter what. Jenah’s kinda bug eyed and bucktoothed, Chantal’s face looks rounder and her nose bigger without makeup, Bianca looks sorta older or maybe just tired. Heather and Lisa were just not as striking, but look more average, or maybe just a little off somehow. Pay attention next week and you’ll see what I mean.

Top Model of Immaturity

Friday, November 16th, 2007

I spent the entire time I was watching America’s Next Top Model reminding myself that they are all very young. But I still wanted to throttle Heather. Spoiled, whiny, miserable . . . . grrrr! And then they kept her. Ambreal was the only one on there who has even a modicum of maturity. I know they are looking for something special, but still.

Heather and Lisa really showed that they don’t have the maturity and poise, at least not yet, to be a Top Model. Bianca still gets on my nerves, too, but even she had it much more together than either of them.

Chantal was less on my nerves this week, but I always notice that she looks so much prettier when she’s in the photos. Somehow, when she’s just talking, she looks less than bright and it annoys me. But she’s definitely cute.

Once again, I can’t really remember who’s still on there without looking it up. But I’m gonna try. Alright forget it. I can never remember Jenah, so that can’t be good. It will be like she’ll make top 3 and then they’ll realize that they don’t even know who she is, so she’ll be out.

eva_pigford_173481g.jpgI’m not sure why I keep forgetting about Saleisha, cause I like her. She sorta reminds me of Eva Pigford, cute and little and feisty, only she’s nicer. Don’t get me wrong, I liked Eva in cycle 3, and she was actually my favorite, but she definitely had a ‘tude.

Now that we’re up to the Top 6, I guess it’s time to make a call on who will win, but I really can’t. Not yet. Maybe Bianca. I’m not sure. But I’d rather have her than Heather. That much I do know.

America’s Next Normal Person

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

tyra_banks_1.jpg
Although I’ve been watching, apparently I haven’t been blogging about ANTM for a while. So here goes. It was a little disappointing to see Sarah get kicked off on America’s Next Top Model last week. Have they ever kept a “plus sized” model past the first few weeks?

Also, did anyone really think Sarah was fat? I mean, she just seemed normal sized to me. Why not just have a normal sized model?

Both Bianca and Chantal are getting on my nerves, mostly cause they each think they are so much all that! I’m like, whatever! I keep having to remind myself that they are all very young. Like early 20’s. Which, you know, from my perspective is pretty young. Still, I’ll be happy to see the end of either of them. Or both. I was pretty happy to see the end of Ebony a couple of weeks ago. Quitting was the best thing she could have done for all the rest of us.

I’m not sure who I want to win. So far no one has really struck me as that great. I know that everyone likes Heather, but she seems a little weird to me. I don’t know that she would relate well to people as a model. Plus, I hate skinny people who don’t eat. I eat every meal and some other stuff in between. I don’t get not eating all day. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, where I am or how busy I am, I always remember to find time for food. So that kinda thing just really turns me off.

Lisa also strikes me as a little strange. I do like Ambreal, but not that much. I also like Saleisha a bit. I can’t even remember any of the others, so that’s not good. And I meant for the show, not me.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

cw-home.jpgWell, things change, and as of today, the change on WatchingCW.com is that I’ll be the new blogger.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to provide you with lots of fun info, along with my occasionally slanted take on the CW’s shows. Please feel free to comment, discuss, argue, cajole, and whatever else you’d like, in the comments section. I love to have feedback.

Just so you have some background info about me, I love scifi stuff, so I’m a fan of Reaper and Supernatural, and to a lesser degree, Smallville. I also watch America’s Next Top Model, whenever I get the chance, and not, as you might think, because I believe that chicks that skinny must be aliens. Well, I’m not positive they aren’t, but I’m pretty sure.

If you hang around me long enough, you’ll know that my absolute favorite show of all time, is, was and always will be, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That probably tells you something about me that you may or may not even want to know. Either way, get ready for lots of random Buffy quotes and Whedonisms, as well as comparisons to Buffy and why, in my opinion, it was so much better than any other show out there. Ever.

I hope we’ll all be very happy together for some time to come and get to be great friends. Or at least that you will read my blog and post comments so that I don’t think I’m just here talking to myself and that no one cares.

You can also check out my other blog at www.watchingsitcoms.com.

About Watching The CW

The CW was born in September 2006, and inherited a mixture of programming from its parents the WB and UPN. The CW has a diverse line up from Monday night comedy to Friday Night Smackdown. In between the laughs and the wrestling are alternate reality or fantasy based shows (Supernatural, Smallville), ones that are fit to bursting with bright young things (Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill) and don't forget all the wannabes trying to make it in reality programming (The Beauty & the Geek, America's Next Top Model, Pussy Cat Dolls).
