After 18 months of uncertainty, depression, and craziness, we need something that makes us happy when we watch it every week. We get that with CBS’s Ghosts that airs every Thursday at 9p.
Rose McIver played a Zombie in iZombie, and now she is alive again, living with ghosts in iGhosts. No, I mean, Ghosts.
Anyways, Samantha (McIver) and her husband, Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), inherit a 300-year-old mansion from a long-lost relative. It is just a little bigger than their NYC 5th floor walk-up. Who am I kidding? It is a sh!tload bigger. It turns out that is a good thing because they won’t be living in it alone. That is because there are several Ghosts who also call it home, including a great-great-great-aunt. I think I got the number of greats right.
Back to the story, Samantha and Jay drive up their new home to see what it looks like and decide if they want to convert it into a bed and breakfast. While he would prefer to stay in the city, she wants to call her family home, home. Who wouldn’t want to claim this mansion as their own, especially because it is free?
Well, there are few people who don’t want them to move in, and that is the current inhabitants because they like their eternal home just the way it is without any mortals walking through them. It hurts when they do that.
Therefore, they come up with a plan to scare the couple out of there. Since they are new to haunting, it doesn’t go too well. Trevor (Asher Grodman), who can move things, knocks a vase over by the steps. Samantha doesn’t see it, trips over it, and falls down the stairs. She doesn’t die, but she comes so close to it that she gets to see the dead.
Who are these dead people she sees? First, there is her great-great-great-aunt, Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky), who is from the 1800s. She is set in her ways and doesn’t want anything to change in her beloved home. Issac (Brandon Scott Jones) is from colonial America, and he thinks he is the leader of the group. He also thinks he is more famous than his arch-nemesis Alexander Hamilton. He wasn’t. Pete is a scout leader from the ’80s who met his fate with an arrow through the neck. He is good at leading this troop of undead. Thorfinn (Richie Moriarty) has been there the longest because he is a Viking and still lives as he did back in his day. The next oldest ghost is Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), who is Native American. Alberta (Danielle Pinnock) is a Jazz singer from the Roaring ’20s, and she believes she was murdered. Unlike Flower (Sheila Carrasco), whose death was too much to bear because she was killed by one in the ’60s. Finally, there is Trevor (Grodman), who is a self-involved stockbroker from the ’90s.
Together they are a family, and now they have two new members, one who is a living and can see them and the other one cannot. While Samantha’s ability is a dream come true for them. It is a nightmare for her.
Will they all be to find a way to live together? We will just have tune in every week to find out.
And you are going to want to tune in because this is a joyful show. You feel happy watching the series because there is an innocence to it. It is not depressing, not angry, it is just sweet.
They are an unlikely family and it works. Mostly because you can tell that all of the actors genuinely like each other. It is obvious they enjoy going to work, and we will enjoy watching them work.
We need more shows like Ghosts, so watch it. I need a break from all the seriousness, and this gives me just that. So check it out because if I have to watch another intense comedy, I will scream. And not because I saw a ghost. I need to put my head on my pillow with a smile on my face, and Ghosts does just that. Who doesn’t want that?
So watch two episodes of Ghosts tonight and tell me about it in the morning!
Before David Faustino had a family who barely fed him on Married…with Children, he had one that wanted him to eat healthily. How cute was the 6-year-old in that 1980 commercial?
Mark Cuban, Damon John, and Barbara Corcoran were on The View today to talk about the upcoming season of Shark Tank.
One of the things they discussed was that Skims’ Emma Grede is joining the competition show as a guest Shark this season. Besides Skims, she also sells jeans.
Ana Navarro told the panelists that those jeans are “really good.” Then Whoopi Goldberg said that she will have to try them. After some back and forth discussions about them, Corcoran chimed in and said to the Oscar winner, “And when you get finished with those jeans and decide you don’t like them. Give them to me. I’m going to make two pairs.”
Whoopi made a face. You know that one. The one that says it is a good thing that the talk show host has sciatica because if she didn’t, then she would’ve broken Corcoran in two.
Goldberg kept her cool after the comment. However, Navarro had her co-host’s behind. That is because she told Corcoran that both Sarah Haines and Jill Biden already wore the dress that Corcoran was wearing. They did.
When it comes to Corcoran, I doubt we will ever view her on The View again.
When the Real Estate Queen got home, she made an apology video. She apologized to anyone she offended, but she didn’t seem to apologize to Whoopi for the joke that she now realizes “wasn’t funny.”
So I am like scrolling the internet, and I see that Pepsi came up with a cola that tastes like Cracker Jack. I was like, this is so something to sing about. Then I found out that was literally what I would have to do to get my hands on one.
You see, in order to taste one of the 2,000 limited-edition cans the soda company wants you to, share a video of yourself singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game with #PepsiSingToScore, #Sweepstakes and follow @pepsi on Twitter or Tiktok.
The only time I can sing that song is when I am at a baseball game, and my voice is being drowned by thousands of other people. And I haven’t been to a game since I had a Pepsi, which is when I lived in Miami, and that was two states and decades ago. Don’t do the math.
However, if you are willing to sing for your supper drink, then do it. And when you try it, tell me how the pop is. I will live vicariously through you.
We know that Beyoncé has curves, and this black velvet Valdrin Sahit gown really shows them off.
She has such an hourglass figure in it that Days of our Lives is thinking of using her for their opening. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the curves of Beyoncé’s body!
