Susan Sarandon is going Country with Trace Adkins as her husband in Fox’s new show Monarch. After watching the first trailer, I am all in like a cowboy impregnating his prized horse with some champion sperm. That sounds so wrong, but I have only lived in big cities, so this Yankee does not know any country references.
Maybe I will learn some when I watch the drama that debuts with a two-night event starting on January 30th and concluding February 1st on its regularly scheduled night.
For those of you, weren’t as turned on with the show as I was after watching the trailer, here is what it is about. In MONARCH, reigning King of Country Music ALBIE ROMAN (Adkins), along with his insanely talented, but tough as nails wife, Queen of Country Music DOTTIE CANTRELL ROMAN (Sarandon), have created a country music dynasty. But even though the Roman name is synonymous with authenticity, the very foundation of their success is a lie. And when their reign as country royalty is put in jeopardy, heir to the crown NICOLETTE “NICKY” ROMAN (Friel) will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy, while ensuring her own quest for stardom, alongside her brother, LUKE ROMAN (Sasse), and sister, GIGI ROMAN (Ditto).
The drama also stars Anna Friel, Josh Sasse, Beth Ditto, Meagan Holder, Inigo Pascual, Martha Higareda. and Emma Milani.
They better get the mechanical bull ready for me to sit on because that is where I will be watching the series from. Yeehaw!

Back in 1974, Melissa Gilbert landed the role of a lifetime. Michael Landon asked her to Laura Ingalls Wilder as a child. Wilder grew up to be an author, and her books were turned into Little House on the Prarie. It is a show that lives on in syndication and in our hearts.
You think after over 45 years, Gilbert would have visited the house of the person whom she played lived. Believe it or not, she hadn’t been there until this weekend.
“I had the pleasure of finally going to #lauraingallswilder‘s home site in Mansfield Missouri,” she wrote. “If you have a chance to go, you must! The museum itself is fantastic and very comprehensive. But for me, walking through Laura and Almanzo’s homes was so so moving. Thank you to everyone at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and museum for allowing my husband and I such extraordinary access. #littlehouseontheprairie #halfpint #whatanexperience #roadtrip”
I am sure they were more thankful to have her there. I mean, in a way, she is more famous for playing Wilder than Wilder is for being herself.
Either way, aren’t these photos and the story behind them so awesome. I just find moments like this so interesting.
