Entertainment Report
Issue #2
9/27-10/3/12
This has been an interesting week for me personally. I was sick and busy, and it was an oddly slow week in fun stories, so finding topics to fill this issue was difficult. But I think it will be fine. I'm still trying to figure out the format and what I want to cover, so it might seem like I'm jumping around through things over the first few weeks. For this I apologize but it is a new format for me and I'm still trying to figure it all out.
That being said, let's get into this issue...
Best Song: Everybody Wants to Rule The World
Worst Song: The Way You Look Tonight/You're Never Fully Dressed (by default)
What a difference a week makes. While the show wasn't perfect, lack of Marley is one of my reasons, this was as close as it gets. This episode flew by and was just alot of fun to watch. I also appreciate the self awareness of the show and all the throwaway jokes that you'd actually have to watch the show a few times to catch them all. I haven't said that in a long time.
A few notes, I didn't realize that Sarah Jessica Parker can actually sing. The election stuff cracked me up all night and I love the fact that by the end of the show, even before the "next week on Glee" preview, I wanted next week's show to start already. I love the turn in Blaine's character and all the seeds that were planted for Clane and Finchel.
Rating: A
If this week has proved anything to me it that there is so much talent with the all star format that someone great will go home every week. It sucks but it's true.
Best Performances: Shawn/Derek, Joey/Kym, Helio/Chelisie, Sabrina/Louis, Gilles/Peta
Worst Performances: Bristol/Mark (by default)
Let me say that I have alot of respect for Derek & Gilles for not giving up, working hard and doing hardcore dance moves through injuries.
Final 2: Joey/Kym, Helio/Chelisie
As you can see by my favorites list, I was shocked when it came down to these two.
Eliminated: Joey/Kym
Shocking and sad to say the least. The show is not going to be as entertaining as it has been recently.
Other TV Notes
Me and CJ watched the TMNT premiere that aired this past Saturday on Nick. I will say this was a really good premiere. People have problems with reboots by this felt like a brand new show. It almost felt like this saw the success of Ultimate Spiderman and animated this show with that format. Very well done and I'll admit when I was listening to the backstory again, I got giddy like a little kid. They didn't change alot to be honest. The only thing I have to get used to is April being a teenage instead of a reporter, but she's voiced the adorable and awesome Mae Whitman so it could work.
This should really just be about CBS comedies in general, but these are the two that we watch. Welcome back! Both of these shows picked up right where they left off, even caught up new viewers without annoying the current fans and were both just beginning to end funny. They reminded me why I love comedies, especially when they are doing multi-camera, old school style.
After writing my report about Idol last week I was completely amused by the video TMZ posted of Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey. Seeing them arguing just about made my point on why I a skipping this season. I have no interest in watching those two argue all season. Neither of them are close to being as intriguing as Simon Cowell and it's just going to be a train wreck. Thank you for giving me another reason to not watch.
Music News
Congrats to Darius Rucker on being invited to be a part of the Grand Ol' Opry this week by Brad Paisley. It's a honor and he definitely deserves it. I hope they are it on TV so I can see it. It should be a fun night.
Podcast Plug
This week's podcast is going to the FTW podcast. It is a really funny wrestling show and defintely worth a listen. Also this gets the honor because they retweeted me during Raw this week so yay for them.
Okay that's that. A few shoutouts real fast. First of all, congrats to Wade Keller and the Pro Wrestling Torch who are celebrating it's 25th Anniversary this month. #2, I want to send you to read my friend's Jaclyn funny blog she posted yesterday. If you are a parent, it's really funny and truthful at the same time. Finally some housekeeping, if you are a wrestling fan take a look at my Top 10 best and worst matches in TNA Bound for Glory history and my NFL Week 5 picks are also up.
That's it for issue #2. Next week I will be covering the last Glee episode before the baseball break, TNA's Bound for Glory and other news items as they come up. Till then, thank you for reading.
