Hear the one about a Democrat & Republican left stranded on an Island? |

Discovery might have just created the greatest reality show that has ever happened to television. They are sending two US Senators to an Island and leaving them there. What’s the big deal about that? Sen. Jeff Flake is a Conservative Republican from Arizona and Sen. Martin Heinrich is a Liberal from his neighboring state New Mexico. Anyone who has lived in the US for the last decade knows that these two parties don’t get along and are fighting all the time. Instead of voting for the people, they are voting for their beliefs and that is really hurting the country.
OK, I will move on from my distaste of politics and marvel the concept of Rival Survival. Although, I am not sure one or both of them will survive the Island. It will kind of be like Lost again where none of them survived, or did they?
OK, I will move on from my distaste of Lost. Discovery is stranding a Republican and Democrat on an Island. For six days and six nights they will have to put their differences aside if they want to survive the week. Can they do it? Will they learn to compromise? Will they make it to six days or will one of the abort the mission? (See what I did there?)
We will have to tune in on October 29th to find out and to watch the most ingenious reality show concept ever.
And if it works, I say send all of them over there until they find a common ground and let’s get the three Branches of our Government back on track and make them one beautiful tree. And let’s hope that they don’t bill the American people for their free vacation on Island. Which you know they will because that is just how they work.
Seriously, my hat is off to Discovery because this is the most brilliant thing to happen to television, since, I don’t know when.
Finally, I wonder if C-SPAN will air the live feed of their journey? How hot would that be? Hotter than the tension between these two men on day one!

Ghost Asylum is crazy good! |

Tennessee Wraith Chasers investigate asylums, sanitariums and mental hospitals to see if any of the past patients and employees are still there haunting the place. Tonight at 10p on Destination America’s Ghost Asylum, you will see their first televised case and you would be insane to miss it.
Tonight they go to Old War Memorial Hospital in Scottsville, Kentucky, a place that housed the clinically insane and dead bodies before they were finally shut down. The mix of those entities and a doctor who fought his firing all the way to the top courts is enough to give any the heebie jeebies; but not the men of TWC.
They go in during the day to survey the place before the investigation. Then they go back at night to see if there is any activity going on. When they are done for the night, they study what they found so that they can prepare for their second night there. This time they go back more prepared to make contact with the spirits. Not only to find out what is going on there, but also to help them to move on.
What I like about this show, is they don’t go over the top to contact the dead. They use their methods and don’t fake it. I hate when paranormal shows fake their outcomes because it is so obvious. I also hate when investigators antagonize the spirits. TWC does not do that, they try to lure them out but they are not mean and stupid about it. I respect their methods because they don’t overdo it like so many other shows like theirs do.
You might say that TWC is crazy to investigate these places, but I say what better place to do it if you are crazy like them!

Angels Among Us is divine! |

Rosie Cepero has a gift and tonight at 10p on TLC’s Angels Among Us, you will see it.
Rosie can hear other people’s Guardian Angels and she is able to give others the messages from beyond that they cannot hear. She is so spot on that you will see people crying over what she tells them. In fact, you will tear up with them because we can all understand what they are going through.
Besides the show being about her gift, it is also about her 4 other gifts that are very personal to her. They are her husband and three sons. What’s fun about the boys, is that they aren’t as appreciative about her ability to talk to spirits. That’s because she will stop whatever she is doing to give a person a message. That will delay them and since they are her children, it will embarrass them. Therefore, they make fun of her. Even though she is not a normal mom, they are a normal family.
Angels Among Us is a lot of fun and especially interesting to watch because she is so good with her gift.

Heartbreakers will steal your heart tonight! |

Heartbreakers debuts on Investigation Discovery tonight at 10p and you don’t want to miss this real life reenactment show with professional actors.
That’s right. Some of our teenage heartthrobs like Jack Wagner, Tracey Gold and Judd Nelson are going to recreate real life love stories that have gone wrong, deadly wrong.
Tonight on the season premiere, Tracey Gold plays high school secretary Laura Nugent, who attracts not one but two married men at the school. The first man whose heart she captures is Principal Hurley Fontenot (Christopher Knight) and they have a 2 year long love affair. But when Billy Mac Fleming (Antonio Sabato, Jr) comes to town as the new football coach, he scores a touchdown with her. She dumps Fontenot and he can’t handle it. His anger gets the best of him and one day he confronts his ex’s lover, and that lover is never seen alive again. Did he do it?
Next week, we see Jack Wagner, Jamie Luner and Rob Estes be involved in an ungodly love triangle. Then the week after that Judd Nelson and Nicole Eggert have a torrid love affair that ends with death they do part.
Heartbreakers is great cheesy TV that everyone will love. We love reenactment shows, we love these actors, so the two of them together gives us one awesomely bad show that you are going to love to enjoy each week.
I mean come on, its like we are getting one of those movies of the week every week, but it only takes an hour to tell the story. It is a total wham, bam that will leave you saying, thank you mam!
So tune in tonight and every Wednesday night at 10p for a show you are going to love more than you thought you ever could!

You’ll be hooked on Beasts of the Bayou |

If you are like me, then you love watching horror movies about the creatures that reside in the Louisiana swamps. Well tonight at 10p on Discovery, those movies come to life in Beasts of the Bayou.
Each week, Captain Blimp Cheramie, his first mate, Eric, and his nephew, Nathan, will go looking for the creatures we have only heard about and find out if they really do exist. They will travel the waters of the Bayou looking for them, and even put themselves done in it to find these elusive fish. Will they discover that the Altamaha-ha aka Altie, the Alligator Gar Fish and/or Parlangua are real and not just a work of fiction? While they try to find them, another team of scientists will try to prove the rationale explanation for these mythical creatures.
What these two teams find throughout the season, will make you re-examine those horror movies because there is always truth in fiction. And seeing what the real versions of these beasts look like will make you never want to go for a swim in Louisiana. At least I know I don’t.
That is how impactful this series is. Plus, it helps that unlike most reality shows like this one, Blimp and his men are so much fun to watch. So it’s like you are getting two shows for the price of one. A comedy one and a horror one, and who doesn’t need that on a warm humid summer night?
