Are you there Vodka? Wednesday night TV review

Wednesday night TV is shaping up to be.....good TV, mostly.
We've got our staples, Modern Family, Revenge, Suburgatory. Adding to my Wednesday line up is One Tree Hill and Are you there, Chelsea
Of course, One Tree Hill was all I needed it to be and I'm very anxious for the last 12 episodes. Again, someone dies, and I don't know who!!?? 
Now, the brand new, Are you there, Chelsea? is a little more complex for me to simply review. Based on Chelsea Handler's memoir Are you there Vodka? It's me, Chelsea, with Laura Prepon (That 70's show) taking the lead. Laura Prepon has always been ALMOST funny to me. She's always on the brink, but just lacks that extra ineffable thing that makes me laugh aloud. She's totally capable of her job, but as a comedic force spewing lines from the unstoppable mouth of Chelsea Handler??? Eh. Chelsea Handler is brash, uncouth, whorish, and delightful in her acceptance of all these personality traits. But, Laura Prepon acting like Chelsea is like watching a pretty girl act like Chelsea Handler. Its odd. Its unsettling.  Especially with Chelsea Handler acting in the show as the uptight sister. Weird.
The show may be better if it didn't have a laugh track. 
I Love that there is a show with a strong female character that can "drink like two men" and enjoys sex freely. All good ingredients. But add that laugh track and suddenly I feel a forced lightness to every drink and sex joke. Are you there, Chelsea? is like staring at all the ingredients to cake, and as a viewer you just keep waiting for them to mix it and bake it. Cause till then, it's inedible.

One Tree Hill in my heart and forgetful mind.....

I've been perfectly honest about my addiction to One Tree Hill. I can't, I won't explain it. I just freaking love it. 
I haven't been paying attention to winter TV premiere dates and today I was surprised to see a promo for One Tree Hill which starts TOMORROW!!!!! WHAT?!  Today Dance Moms, tomorrow One Tree Hill!!!! It's like make Mindy happy week :)

If you don't watch the show, it's cool. I get it. I won't harp. BUT, if you do, YOU have got to see this final promo. 
I don't know who dies, but I guarantee I will be crying. Yes, One Tree Hill will make me cry. 

You can watch the crappy video below or ......

go HERE and watch the nicer, prettier version. I strongly recommend the latter. 



Dancing, bitching, & acrobating into my heart

Over the summer I became obsessed with the Lifetime reality show Dance Moms. The show is jaw dropping awesome, in the trashy reality show way. If anyone recalls, I named Dance Moms as my OMG Reality TV Moment  in my Summer TV Awards. Don't remember? Click here for a recap. 
Well the splendid has happened and Season 2 is premiering tonight on Lifetime. What's so glorious about this is that I haven't even seen a sneak peak or trailer. All footage I watch will be brand spanking new. And I'm so bloody excited about it. Its the small things in life, right?


So, if you love trashy reality TV or if there is a gay man living inside your head that laughs along at all outrageous moments committed by TV fame whores, then tune in tonight for an all new Dance Moms.
Lifetime....at some time, check your local listing.

Just so you know.....

I'm going through some terrible withdrawals. Last night I was shaking, itching, feigning for some Dexter Homeland combo. But no, I have another 6, 7 months before my Sunday nights are filled with frightening happiness. 
Until then, Showtime is giving us Season 2 of Shameless and a new series called House of Lies.
I never finished season 1 of Shameless. I thought it was a good show, but for some reason it got lost in my shuffle of shows after 3 episodes. Season 1 is now available to stream via Netflix, so maybe....
As for House of Lies, I haven't watched it....yet. I'm sure I will drag my feet just like I did with Homeland, and eventually watch it. But, deep down, I know I won't like it as much as Homeland. Not that House of Lies is a "replacement" cause the two shows aren't even in the same genre, but damnit, in my Sunday night lineup it is a replacement because I'm stuck with Lies and No Homeland.  


Now that I've had my temper tantrum, I will say that Kristen Bell will be the reason I tune into Lies. She is comedic happiness for me. 
So, stay tuned, someday I will review House of Lies. 
Until then.....watch CAGED on MTV tonight 9/8c.

Caged Sneak Peak on MTV

How many of my loyal followers stayed awake to watch the sneak peak of Caged last night? Hopefully all 8 of you did.
IF you did, you were able to enjoy a docu style reality show that was pretty damn good. I'm trying to NOT be bias on this tiny review. 
Key points for me: I laughed. Daniel is special, pretty, but special and his choice of words strung together into semi sentences stands out as the highlight of hilarity. 
Drama side: The build up to the fights is nice and there is some real tension lurking. 
Now to the bragging:
check that pic below.
Look closely at the credits....see it right above....My name. And Rob's name. Also, Rob and I both did some shooting for the show and we both had shots in the pilot. We were feeling pretty awesome about that. 
So If you haven't watched Caged yet, shame on you. But you can tune in Monday at 9 on MTV to watch it again. Or got to MTV.com and watch it there. Either way. WATCH. 
Now, on to Bledska work. :) Happy Friday everyone.

Music in TV

I was recently asked if I could find a song that played during a certain scene on a certain TV show.
No problem. Found.
But I think it's time you all know the best website ever!!

Tunefind 

The website speaks for itself, but I'll speak a little on its behalf.
They list songs by episodes and brief description of what was occurring on screen. And you can preview the song to see if its what you heard!! It's fucking genius. 
Bookmark the site for your convenience  :)

Thank you Internet. Thank you. 

Also. EVERYONE!!! Tune into MTV tonight for the premiere of CAGED! Airing after Jersey Shore. You should do it solely for the purpose that it paid our bills for 5 months :)

OMG!! Surprises, TV shows, oh my!

Revenge is back on TV tonight! Rejoice you drama loving folks, the high class is back with a gun in their hands.

Also back on tonight is the lovely Suburgatory, Modern Family, and Top Chef Texas. I'm new to Top Chef and it quickly became my favorite competition reality show. I want to try all the food.

Tomorrow night we've got the ever so missed Vampire Diaries! And Grey's Anatomy. And Secret Circle, if you're into that kinda thing :)
Hell froze over and Jersey Shore kicks off it's 5th season. (I poke fun, but I'm still gonna watch. Why? I DON'T KNOW. I CAN'T STOP NOW!

Also, for all my readers, a little surprise. 
Caged, the TV show that Rob worked on for Months and me for 10 days is premiering early on MTV. Set your DVR's, sit in front of the TV, I don't care, just watch it tomorrow night after Jersey Shore. That's right folks, MTV execs love Caged so much that they are early premiering it behind their number 1 rated show. Must be good, right?

So check your local listings and have a couple of good nights of TV.

Happy New Year, Super Water style!!

Happy New Year everyone! I do hope you had a joyous time ringing in the new year. I so did. Spent the first day of the year recovering from it. :)

Through my joyous haze I managed to capture the countdown to the New Year by the undeniably great band Super Water Sympathy.
Yes, we (me, my hubby, & our BFF Derek) spent New Year's Eve watching SWS play their hearts out. I could not have imagined a better evening. To add icing to this cake, my husband won a SWS Tshirt and signed CD. He was like a little kid a Christmas!
So here's the footage of the countdown....
 
Also, Super Water has announced 45+ city tour! Check it out here and be sure to check them out live!
