Seriously? OMG! WTF?

It is on Halloween on Paramount+’s Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. And the Pink Ladies are ready to celebrate. That is because Nancy (Tricia Fukuhara) made them costumes. Since she wants to be a fashion designer, they are totally swell.

Talking about playing dress-up, Cynthia (Ari Notartomaso) is having a hard time rehearsing for Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. So the drama teacher assigns her a partner to work with her. However, neither one of them want to work together. So what happens when they do?

Then it is time for the very anticipated election between Jane (Marisa Davila) and Buddy (Jason Schmidt). And no one is happier about it than Assistant Principal McGee (Jackie Hoffman), and she is going to sing about it. I so hope this is not the last song we hear from her.

When the episode ends, we will know who won the election. So who do you think is going to be the new President of Rydell?

I know who has my vote, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, because I love this show.

At 9p on Fox’s Animal Control, a crab takes out on the of the officers. You have to see how because you wouldn’t believe it if you didn’t see it. And each incident on this fictional show is based on real-life occurrences. They aren’t. I think?

Frank (Joel McHale) and Shred (Michael Rowland) are called out to rescue a fox at a skate park. The fox gives them a major workout, and Frank realizes he is not as young as he used to be.

Then Rick (Kevin Bigley) asks Emily (Vella Lovell) on a date, and she says yes. But when he tells Victoria (Grace Palmer) plans, she runs and tells her boss. Will she say ghost him, or still go on the date?

All of this leads to a sweet ending with the two of the above winding up in bed together…

And did I mention the crab? It is these crazy scenarios that keep me tuning in and how funny it is.

Also, at 9p on CBS’s Ghosts, Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) accidentally wakes up Stephanie (Odessa A’zion) from her year-long nap. The first thing she does is ask for what she missed. That is when she finds out everyone is hooking up.

Since she is the only teenager at Woodstone Manor, there is no one for her to date. So she is bitter about it and decides she is going to break up all of the couples.

By the end of the episode, one of them will break up. Will it be Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay, Thor (Devan Chandler Long) and Flower (Sheila Carrasco), Heddy (Rebecca Wisocky) and Trevor (Asher Grodman), or Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones) and Nigel (John Hartman)?

I can’t tell you that, but I can tell you to watch the funniest show on television.

When Paramount+ revealed they were making a prequel to Grease, I had my doubts about it. But then, I saw the trailer, and I couldn’t wait to see what they did with it. And what they did is fucking fantastic!

I haven’t enjoyed a pilot as much as this one since CBS’s Ghosts. And I hate to say it, but I love the series even more. Because, as an NYC gal, I adore a good musical. And the song and dance numbers are phenomenal.

Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies is a modern take on an old story. Not the one we knew. But as in bringing the ’50s to our day. So you have the innocence of that era, but in a time when women have finally found their voice.

This is the story of those revolutionary women if they existed. And I wish they did.

So who are the four women who are going to create the Pink Ladies? First, there is Jane (Marisa Davila), who is new to Rydell High and is not popular. She started dating Buddy (Jason Schmidt), the Student Body President, over the summer. He wants to go steady, and she says yes! So they fool around in the car at a drive-in, and he tells everyone they went all the way when they didn’t. Now her reputation is ruined because of him.

Cynthia Zdunowski (Ari Notartomaso) is the Tomboy of the group. She desperately wants to be a T-Bird, but they won’t let her in because she is a girl. Basically, she is too much of a girl to be with the boys and too much of a girl with one of the boys.

Nancy (Tricia Fukuhara) is girly. She loves fashion, and that is what she wants to do with her two best friends. That is, until they dump her for boys.

Finally, there is Olivia (Cheyenne Isabel Wells). She already has a bad reputation because there are rumors she had an affair with a teacher. He denies it, but he lied to save his own ass.

These four outcasts are going to come together when Jane announces that she is running for President of the school against her ex! What they do at her announcement will get them in trouble and create a friendship that will not only change their lives forever but also Rydell’s.

They start believing now that they can be who they are. Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is the word!

And wait until you see and hear what they did with the Bee Gees classic. It is even better than the original. All of the songs will make you want to sing along. However, you don’t want to at first because all the actors have such beautiful voices.

This series has a voice. It is not cheesy like the musical. They have something to say, and we are here to hear it.

And I want you to hear me say this. I love this show so much; it almost made me want to go back to high school so I could be cool like them. Almost, but no way would I do that again.

The first two episodes of Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies are streaming now, and new episodes will drop every Thursday. It is a great double feature with their other show School Spirits.

Paramount+ is giving us a paranormal murder mystery that is full of teen angst. That is because Maddie (Peyton List) was murdered and is trapped in the high school where she died until she can figure out who killed her.

Luckily for Maddie, but unluckily for the other School Spirits, she is not the only student who is sentenced to detention in purgatory hell.

Will she be able to find her missing body? We will just have to tune in for the first three episodes on March 9th and the five following Thursdays to find out.

When I heard that Paramount+ was making a prequel to Grease called Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, I opted to ignore it.

However, today they released the trailer for the series, and I can’t wait for the show to premiere on April 6th.

The musical series takes place four years before the original Grease. In 1954, before Rock‘n’Roll ruled, and before the T-Birds were the coolest in the school, four fed-up outcasts (Marisa D’avila, Cheyenne Isabel Wells, Ari Notartomaso and Tricia Fukuhara) dare to have fun on their own terms, sparking a moral panic that will change Rydell High forever.

This is going to the Glee for a new generation! And it is just what we need.

Sylvester Stallone is doing something he hasn’t ever done before in his nearly 50-year career. He is going to star in a television series. And I am all for it after watching the above trailer.

TULSA KING follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone) just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters, helping establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.

The series debuts November 13th on Paramount+ and will stream a new episode weekly.
