What are you watching tonight?

Bye, Bye Baby

I am embarrassed by how excitied I am about the 2008 Fall television season. Well, I guess I'm not too terribly embarrassed if I'm discussing it publicly, right? I'm sure it's because there were so many great shows that I fell in love with last year (Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Lipstick Jungle, Cane, Big Shots) and I didn't get any time to watch them. We had the strike and then right after that was over, summer came.

I'm starting by giving you a list of the shows that have not been picked up for the 2008-2009 season. If you have a question, email me and let me know. I'm working on the Fall schedule post. Also, let me know which shows you are gonna be watching and wanting to talk about soon! I'm gonna be (trying) to pick up the tv blogging when the shows come on again.



On to the goners:

NBC:

1 vs 100, Amnesia, Bionic Woman, Clash of the Chiors, Journeyman, Las Vegas, My Dad is Better Than Your Dad, Phenominon, Quarterlife, The Singing Bee, Scrubs

Scrubs' final season will air on ABC. I saw all the aired episodes of Quaterlife on Bravo! one day and it was good-ish. It was something I'd watch. I also think that a show like The Singing Bee should be on somewhere during the day.

ABC:
Men In Trees, Big Shots, Carpoolers, Cavemen, October Road, Woman's Murder Club, Cashmere Mafia, Miss Guided, Notes from the Underbelly, Oprah's Big Give, Here Comes the Newlyweds, Dance Wars:Bruno vs Carrie Ann

You asked me about a few of these so, I know that some of you will agree with me, some of these just weren't given a chance. I don't know if some of them were ever gonna be good (ahem) but I some just needed a regular time slot and some stability.

CBS:
Moonlight, Shark, Jericho, Viva Laughlin, Welcome to the Captain, Secret Talents of the Stars, Kid Nation, Power of 10

I liked Shark. I'm sad that Kid Nation is not coming back.


The CW:
Aliens in America, CW Now, Life is Wild, Online Nation, Beauty and the Geek, Crowned:The Mother of All Pageants, Pussycat Dolls Present:Girlicious

I'm so shocked that Beauty and the Geek is cancelled. I like that show. I admit that I didn't watch last season and it's probably a little played out by now. Maybe they shouldn't have shows with colons in the titles anymore.



FOX:
Back to You, New Amsterdam, Nashville, Canterbury's Law, K-Ville, The Return of Jezebel James, The Next Great American Band, Unhitched

Ok, truthfully, I only watched one painful episode of K-Ville because I hated it. I also tried to watch The Return of Jezebel James because of the cast. I couldn't do it. Obviously, I wasn't the only one.

I'll be back later in the week with the new shows. Which show(s) are you sad to see go?

" The Nutcracker"

The annual Darling Nutcracker
I love that black and white couch on which Tish and Tripp are sitting. Juliet and Kai are seated in the loveseat to the far right.


Last week on DSM, we learned that Brian was Dutch's son. Oh, the watch! How sweet, right? Jeremy and his crazy quest to be poor and enlisting Lisa's help. Lisa?! Funny... How do I feel about Karen and Simon? Does she know what she's doing? Hmmmmmm? This week, Jeremy and Lisa get closer. Nick finds out about Karen and Simon and doesn't like it.



Hey! I'm LIVE blogging. (LIVE blogging for those who don't know means I'm watching while blogging) Jeremy is playing with fire. He is going to get hurt and hurt Sofia, too.



What is Lisa even doing? Why is she going along with this? What's in it for her?


loving Lisa's coat

Carmalita is getting on my nerves. Really.



Awwww, Tripp meets with Brian. *Sigh* B's such a meanie, no cracks in his shell. Finally the church is taking action. I was kinda wondering how he got away with all of his "behavior" without the church saying anything.



Simon and Karen. Karen and Simon. What's he up to? He's smarmy. I cannot imagine that he actually likes Karen. I also think Karen is much smarter than she wants some to believe and she will not hurt Tripp. Is Nick going to tell Tripp? Is he jealous?



Yay! Juliet is back- Samarie Armstrong was gone last week because she was in treatment for personal reasons. I really like her and the character. Ohhhh, who's the guy?



I love mama Darling and B's heart-to-heart over B's foot bath! How very posh. It was a good honest talk and glimpse of B's thoughts.



So, Simon thinks Nick is with him- stealing the Darlings' financial reports- but Nick tells Tripp everything. Tripp gives Karen the papers to give to Nick to give to Simon. (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah) Then, when Nick leaves Tripp, he calls someone... who? Am I stupid? Probably. Sometimes I don't follow well.



Karen to Nick: "You gonna "Nutcracker" with the fam tonight?" (I like it)



Ahhhh, Carm-ah-freakin-lita! She's just getting on my nerves this week. I hate when he's (Patrick) called "Paddy".



Good talk between Tripp and B. I liked. I think it was sweet. And smart.



Jeremy and Lisa- again, Lisa is crazy and bored or something. I love Jeremy the way you love a puppy who pees on the floor but is so cute with the floppy ears and big eyes but... What is her motive? Chillax



Karen looks stunning at Simon's when she goes to meet him and his ex-wife, the Princess of Ghana. WTH? What is his game here? She approves? That whole sitch is fonky and I'd leave if I were Karen.



Oh lordy clorde, Clarke and Carmalita, kinda funny. Hard boiled eggs.



The stoners- Jeremy and Lisa. Too freaking odd. Crying and all "deep" thoughts... "If you were mine, I'd be a couch potato." What every girl wants to hear, right?
I messed up the picture when I moved it. Sorry!!


Kiki and her obsession with being rich is cute. I'm not trying to be mean cause she's very very cute, whoever plays Kiki George (her telling Karen Darling that her dress was pretty, awwww), I just loved Elle Fanning in the pilot.



Hmmmm, did Patrick have something to do with Carmalita's disappearance/death? Is she dead?



Looka B in a suit! Getting into the Darling Enterprises "ring"... on God's command, of course. I think he'll be great.



Whoa! Nicky's all fired up about Karen crying. He is telling Simon to stay away from her. I want to know more about Nick and Karen. Why didn't she accept his proposal?



$35 Billion?!? Whoa... Big surprise that Sofia walked out on Jeremy. Right?



Kai says Juliet very cute. She met him on Karen's honeymoon? He was just kinda random... huh?



OK, so maybe Lisa was just feeling a little lonely, un-noticed, bored. That's why she went along with all of Jeremy's drama. She's been through a lot with the Darlings, Karen, Nick and his dad. It's a lot for a wife. You can feel invisible at times. So, a new baby. OK. I don't know.



Karen is "in it", too, with Tripp against Simon. What's going to happen now? Can she be all that Tripp wants her to?



I DVR'ed, did they show scenes from another episode? Until then...

Shoeaddict Says, "The Country House"- what a suprise!

If you aren't watching Dirty Sexy Money, you are missing out. It's my favorite (or one of) new show of the season. Last week's episode was "The Country House" and BOY, OH BOY! was it grrrrreat! It had Carmalita the tranny mistress meeting with Ellen the proper wife, Tripp the head Darling having a sit-down with the childish Pat, sneaky Simon Elder and the do-gooder but, clueless Nick. He dropped a bombshell on everyone. Plus, Jeremy was so cutie-cute-cute on his date! Mama Tish, what a bitch telling Lisa about Karen and Nick's kiss, huh?

Jeremy was just adorable last week. From the scene with him at the breakfast table (the Darling breakfast table is divine! Even their fruit looks rich) with Karen, to him with Sofia on his "normal" date. I just think he's sweet.
What is Tripp doing? I know that he really wants to destroy Simon Elder but, is he screwing his own son in the process? Which Darling child is NOT a Darling? Is Nick a Darling? All these things are going to be revealed soon, I hear. I didn't get to hear/see the very last piece of the show. My DVR cut off right when Lisa was talking to Nick while sitting on her bed at her parents' home. So, I didn't get to see the previews for tonight's episode. What I've read is that we see flashbacks of Latisha and Dutch's affair, Simon and Karen have chemistry when they both go to the hospital to visit Patrick more on that), and Brian gets arrested for trying to bribe the arbitrator.

Ok, I go back and forth and back and forth on who is NOT Tripp's child. Why would Latisha push a relationship between Karen and Nick if she knew they were sibs? The twins just don't make any sense to me, maybe other viewers can see it, I don't. Brian is always talking about how different he is from the Darlings- even though in my opinion, he's not. Bribing the arbitrator, trying to give the mother of Brian Jr $3 million to give him custody of the boy, that's all pretty low-down. Plus, in the first few episodes, Brian never skipped an opportunity to say how much he hated Dutch and Nick. Patrick is Tripp's namesake and obvious choice. Who is it???

Who else LOVED when Carmalita came to Ellen and Patrick's hotel room? Or when she told Patrick to take a walk? LOVED it. Then, when Patrick told Ellen that he had gone to see Carmalita after the crazy meeting with Tripp, Simon and Nick- she freaked. We got to see a bit of her heart. Or temper because then she shot him in the leg with a double barrel shotgun.

Nick really is stupid. He was stupid with Tripp, Simon, Karen and Lisa. He needs to tell Karen what's up. Unless there is something there. ?

Who else is watching? Go on ABC.com and watch NOW. Email me immediately (shoeaddict17@gmail.com) if you have a question.

Loved Lisa's whole look! Loved the glasses, the jacket, the bag... LOVES!
The boys go quail hunting. Love the boots...
What else will Simon do?
How will Patrick be hurt? Or will he hurt Tripp?
Is Nick strong enough to play this game? Is he mean enough? Is he really Tripp's son?

I'm watching Pushing Daisies right now. Oh how I love this show, too.

Shoeaddict Talks Wednesday TV

**SPOILERS**

It's 9:53pm and I'm watching Dirty Sexy Money. I'm watching the very end of DSM and freaking out. I guessed that one of the Darling children were Dutch's but, which????

Karen- because of the whole Nick thing? That would be gross and wouldn't they have stopped it?

Patrick- because Tripp is all into his political career. That would hurt him.

Brian- he's so different from everyone else, he hates Nick, he's the obvious choice (to me)

I don't think it's the twins, Juliet and Jeremy, just because. But, here I am screaming at the TV- Patrick? No, No, Brian!? No, all of them?! None of them? Brian, it's Brian! Who is it????

And "C" is Brian Elders? What is that?

I really love this show.

I'm glad Lisa finally told Karen something but, I doubt it will make her leave Nick alone. I'm of the belief that the spouse that has the "crap" deals with it. Example- If Luke's parents are a problem, he talks to them, not me and vise versa. So, I think Nick needs to be firmer with Karen because she's out of control.

What do you think about Jeremy and Juliet? I love Juliet ("She has decided") and brunette-girlfriend (what's her name) is obnoxious! All they do is have sex! Well, now she's pregnant and he says he's in love... ???

By the way, Private Practice was actually good tonight. Kate Walsh is so pretty. I know it's her show but my same opinion still stands- Amy Brennaman's Violet dominates the show.

I thought Ambreal should've gone home on ANTM instead of the Liza look-a-like. Lisa is pretty and I liked Tyra's advice of never dim your light for any one- or something like that. Tyra the philosopher, huh?

On the DVR:
Pushing Daisies
Kid Nation
Gossip Girl

What did y'all watch and LOVE?

Dirty Sexy Money- It's So Yummy!

I'm doing BLUE in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I'm sending you to Lainey-Painey's blog to read about it.

Now on to Dirty Sexy Money(DSM)- I like to do what I call LIVE blog when I can. This just means blog while I'm watching the show. I DVR'ed DSM, I'm watching it now and I'm going to write my observations and questions... That's how I do it usually. OK, I had no idea Juliet and Jeremy were twins from last episode. Juliet cracks me up! Awwww, the poor little boy that belongs to Brian Darling. It's kinda funny though when they are getting the hot dog and Brian tells him the orphan cover story.

Can I just say that Donald Sutherland really needs some hair grooming. His eye brows are everywhere and he just needs to run a brush through his hair. And I love (I know this is off the hair subject) the "No, I'm not going to give a check to a tranny hooker" line from last week.

I just cannot imagine being named Darling- or Luke being named that. That would be weird. Right?

How can you be married to a man for 40 years, 40 years, and have the great love of your life be someone else? Someone that you are having an affair with? How could Letitia have an affair with Dutch for all that time... OOOOOHHHHH! I bet one of the kids (Patrick? Brian?) is Dutch's! Hello! Boy was I slow with that one.

Do y'all remember Freddy from Beverly Hills, 90210? He was Matt, Kelly's boyfriend, the lawyer.

I would love for our family to take a formal picture again. We (my mom's side- grandparents, mom's brother and wife) took a portrait so long ago. I need to get all my pictures scanned in so y'all can see. That one is so old- I think I'm in the fourth grade. Justin is too cute in it. None of the other grandkids were born yet! There are 4 more!!

Juliet is so pretty. Is Samaire Armstrong good in anything else? I didn't watch The O.C. She has a vulnerability about her...

Who else felt bad for Tripp when Letitia's birthday opened Dutch's briefcase? What does the paperwork in the briefcase mean? What do you think??
