It was a massacre over at CBS because they cancelled Ghost Whisperer, Gary Unmarried, Accidentally on Purpose, New Adventures of Old Christine, Cold Case, Numb3rs and Miami Medical, but they did renew Medium and Rules of Engagement according to The Live Feed. I don’t get why they cancelled Ghost Whisperer because I thought it was still doing well in the ratings. Maybe it was getting too expensive and they need a lot more money than they did yesterday in order to pay Charlie Sheen. On that note, I had a feeling the sitcoms were going to get the ax when Charlie agreed to stay with Two and a Half Men and they had picked up two new sitcoms yesterday. They needed to make room for the new ones, but that doesn’t mean I am OK with it. I really liked Gary and Accidentally. I didn’t watch Old Christine, but now that Modern Family and Glee are on the air I doubt that Julia Louis-Dreyfus was going to get her annual Emmy nom. When it comes to Cold Case, about freaking time. Numb3rs and Miami Medicine are not surprises. BTW did I mention how pissed I am that Ghost Whisperer got cancelled? Although the show lost its way when it killed Jim and then brought him back, it was still a great show. When it comes to Medium, I hope it finds its way again next season because it hasn’t been nearly as good on CBS as it was on NBC. And what does David Spade on the CBS execs because that is the only explanation I can come up with they renewed the show. It is there new Yes, Dear.
Now the news was better over at The CW because they picked up both One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected according to The Live Feed. There were rumors only one was coming back next season, but that is no longer the case because both of them will be back.
Jenna Elfman is a mom again. The star of CBS’s Accidentally on Purpose just Tweeted “Our new baby boy Easton Quinn Monroe Elfman was born March 2nd at 7:53am. He’s an impressive sleeper (thank god!) & I’m his biggest fan.” Easton is her second son with Bodhi Elfman, he joins 2 year old Story Elias. Good for Jenna for breaking the news to her fans on Twitter!
Easton is not the only baby born this week, according to Life & Style Joey Lawrence and his wife, Chandi Yawn-Nelson welcome their second daughter, Liberty Grace yesterday. Although there were some complications during the pregnancy, thankfully little Grace is healthy!
And there is one more baby that joined Grace and Easton, Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart became the proud parents of a McDaughter on Wednesday according to TV Guide.
That’s it for now…I think!
After the Super Bowl, CBS is debuting their latest reality show Undercover Boss. The show takes the bosses of large companies and puts them in the smallest jobs at the same company so that the big boss can see how the little man is keeping his company alive. In tonight’s episode the President of Waste Management is sent out to do some of the sh!ttiest jobs as his company like cleaning up porta potties and picking up loose papers. It was amazing to see the president of the company gets his hands dirty, really dirty and realizing how is little man is getting screwed. He actually learned how things needed to be changed and after he was done learning his lesson he actually makes changes. It wasn’t only doing the dirty work that made him change his mind, but his employees’ attitudes. Those relationships that he built on the job are something you have to see. So after the Super Bowl is over make sure to stay on CBS for a touchdown of a show! Plus who doesn’t want to see a boss clean up sh!t?
When I first heard read about CBS’s Live for the Moment, I thought the concept was sick and depressing, but then I watched it and I thought it was the most inspirational show I ever watched. LFTM was described as a bucket list show for people who know they will not have much longer to live. When you read that you think the show is going to be depressing, and even though I cried at times throughout the show, I did not walk away from watching it depressed but instead I felt inspired.
Tonight’s episode at 8p features Roger Childs, a 41 year old happily married father of two sons who was diagnosed with ALS and given around 2 years to live. But instead of giving up, he is living life to the fullest. Jeff Probst and Mark Burnett teamed up with him to help him do things he has only dreamed of. They took him to Kennedy Space Center, he got a tour from Buzz Aldrin and watched a space shuttle launch with his whole family. Then he got his pilot’s license. Finally he went skiing with his best friend, something he wasn’t sure he would ever be able to do after his diagnosis. Finally his family and friends gathered for the most amazing part of the show and what happens there will inspire to change the way you live. It will make you want to do more with your life and not waste it. Roger Childs is a true inspiration and we can all learn from him, so make sure to watch his story tonight on CBS at 8p.
On a side and personal note, a few days after I watched this episode my cat got very sick and I had to make the toughest decision I ever had to make and this show helped me get through it. It made me put everything in perspective and helped me get through her death. So if that doesn’t go to show just how powerful this show is, I don’t know what will.
Thank you to CBS, Jeff Probst and Mark Burnett for doing this show and to Roger Childs and his family thank you for sharing your story with us.
So I was going through YouTube and I see a video labeled “NCIS -Snakes on a Plane”, so I decided I had to watch it. I thought hey maybe Tony DiNozzo (Micheal Weatherly) and Ziva (Cote de Pablo) might be investigating a person who brought snakes on a plane. But no…I was completely off as you will see in that clip above. Seriously what a cheesey use of a movie reference on CBS’s #1 show.
Granted I might just be a little more sensitive this week because I watched a horrible movie on SyFy this Saturday that was basically Snakes on a Sub and if they do a sequel (I pray not), it would be Snakes on a smaller Plane.
BTW back to NCIS, poor Michael Weatherly getting his a$$ kicked by a girl…LOL!
