Some new shows I've been watching

I

haven't slept since yesterday. I think I got up @ 11 am? So 26 hours and counting...

I keep going to bed. I yawn. I never fall asleep.

*sigh*

So anyway, I may have told you about these before. I don't care enough to go check. Deal with it! :-)

The Family Crews on BET Sundays 9/8 pm

Remember the dad on "Everybody Hates Chris"? Or Damon on "Friday after Next"? That's Terry Crews. The Family Crews is his reality show.

I love this family! I always enjoyed seeing Terry Crews' acting, but seeing him as a person brings a whole new appreciation to his work for me. He's been married for 20 years. They have 5 kids (4 girls, 1 boy).

It's WONDERFUL to see positive black families represented on TV. If you're not black, you probably don't think about this. But imagine if every show on TV was like a live action "Family Guy". Not the best representation of any group of people, let alone all white people.

We (black people) see a lot of gang bangers, pimps, drug dealers, criminals & buffoons. But other than the "token" black guy, we don't get a lot of positive representations of "us". Definitely NOT in reality TV.

Let me try to think of another positive black reality show...

Um...

Nothing's coming to mind.

Whatever.


Justified Tuesdays at 10/9 pm on FX

I've only seen the first episode, but I liked it A LOT.

It's about a Deputy Marshall (played by Timothy Olyphant) who is sent back to his home state of Kentucky after a justified shooting of a suspect.

It's kind of like a western.

He's a quick draw dude. Good looking dude. I can't explain it.

It's action & sex & stuff. Just check it out, LOL.



Human Target Wednesdays @ 8/7 pm on Fox

A man named Christopher Chance (maybe?) is some kind of spy that other people call when they can't do the job themselves.

I must admit that the lead in this show (Mark Valley) is my "totally hot in a stereotypical Californiaesque" type of man (even though I claim not to find blonde men attractive). His looks have nothing to do with why I continue to watch the show.

I watch the show because a) it's action b) OMFG Mark Valley is hot and perfect masturbation fantasy material 3) the show looks like a movie! I mean the way it's shot & whatnot.

I wish they did that more often. I wonder if it's expensive?

Who cares? I love it.

Every week is a new situation, new people, new ways for Chi McBride's character to get fed up with Chance's risk taking, LOL.

You have to watch this show if you like action! :-) You can watch full episodes at Fox.com.



Kirstie Alley's Big Life Sundays @ 10/9 pm on A&E

We all know about Kirstie Alley's battle with weight.

I don't care about that.

I just wanted to see this woman who is so obsessed with Jamie Foxx that she can't stop Twittering about him.

She's funny! I'd be her friend. I'll watch the rest of the season just for her snarky sense of humor.

OMG at least watch the first episode so you can see her call the black fitness trainer and tell him she's "down with brown but black is whack" while her black stylist is sitting beside her trying not to crack up.

This woman is bat shit crazy and I LOVE IT!



Jerseylicious

No, I do not understand my current obsession with all things Jersey.

It started with Real Housewives of NJ. Then Jersey native Wendy Williams gets her own talk show. Then I had to watch "The Jersey Shore" because I wanted to see this little oompa loompa with a bouffant get punched in the face and I had to keep watching after I saw that episode.

Dudes (Ladies too).

If you thought Snooky was tanorexic, you will not believe Olivia. She's darker than me. She's like Indian from India dark. She said something like "Yeah, my skin might look like leather in the future, but I look good today!"

I think she has a bit of ADD too.

Whatever.

If you're a Jerseyholic the way I (apparently) am. Check this show out, LOL.



How long is this post anyway?

There's more, but Blogger just told me that my labels can't be more than 200 characters, so I'll save some for another time when I'm too hyped to sleep.

Smooches!

TeeVee & Thangs

F

irst, I just discovered that my printer power cord is broken.

Like someone clipped it off...

How the ayche did that happen?

*Sigh*

Now I have to buy a new power cord.

But I want an all in one printer, so should I even bother? But I just bought some printer ink...

So it's waste $40 (for the ink) and get a new printer/scanner or wait for months (did I mention that I tend to procrastinate?) until I finally get online & find a power cord?

Anyway, I was just watching "The Girls Next Door".

Shut up. I like watching and knowing that even if I have sex with a different dude every week, I'll still never be as much of a ho as those bitches.

1st, Kendra said that she lost her virginity at 14!!!

OMG. I don't want to think about Evan having sex next year. OR this year. WHY do girls have sex when they don't even know their own bodies and the boys can't last for more than 10 seconds? What is the point of that?

Then one of the contenders for Playboy's 55th anniversary playmate said that her grandmother said that it was "Awesome" or something that she was trying out for that.

I'm 36 years old. I can't imagine my grandmother (or my mother, or any of my relatives) saying "Cool, go for it!" if I said I was trying out for Playboy.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD?

I'm sure that a lot of women think that there's nothing wrong with posing naked. "We were all born that way." and other crap. Maybe they think it's empowering.

I just don't understand that mindset. I don't even like taking off my clothes for the damned doctor.

I'm only comfortable being naked in the shower or when I'm about to get laid. I'm a prude. I admit it.

Somebody please explain to me when being a freaking whoreish female became "Awesome."

Thanks.

Now playing: Prince & The New Power Generation - Willing And Able via FoxyTunes

"The Unit" was awesome this week. Did anyone else see it come on 40 minutes late and stay up to watch it?

I'm still waiting for CBS to just admit that NOTHING comes on when it's supposed to on Sunday nights so that I can go to sleep instead of flipping back to CBS every 5 minutes to see if it's come on yet. The only show I watch on CBS on Sundays is "The Unit". Change the day already. I don't give a phuuuuuuuuuuuuck about the other shows that come on. Especially not 60 minutes. (Though I did see Anderson Cooper race Michael Phelps. AC dove in and Phelps had to stay underwater and not use his hands at all for the entire lap. Phelps still beat him by a few seconds, LOL.)

Lastly, I'm thinking about shaving my hair off again. I last cut it off in 4/07. I loved it. I mean the maintenance. I could wash it every day in the shower. Normally, I wash it once a week and it takes forever & a day to dry.

I've been seeing so many black women with really short hair and it looks so good on them. I always felt like I had to wear makeup every day when I had no hair. With it out of the braids and shorter, I can dye it or whatever.

But as soon as I cut it, I'll miss my hair. Even if all I do is braid it.

Maybe I'll just take the braids out and relax it for a while...

*Sigh*

Andddd, it's raining. Turning into snow overnight.

Now, I don't live on the mountain, so any accumulation will be gone by the time Evan wakes up. Which would be fine except our county also includes some mountain areas and they will have snow or ice for several hours in the morning. The damned superintendent waits until the last second to cancel school. The last time it snowed, we didn't even get notified. The buses just never showed up.

Dumb bastard.
