Landmark Year for Daytime TV
For all those who have Father’s they love & have passed on to the the other sideSeason premier of Burn Notice our favorite spy, his family & friends are back!
I for one have been looking forward to the follow up on Micheal (Jeffery Donovan) finally getting back in the CIA and once again becoming a Company man. I am watching the show as I am writing this. It is not only interesting to see Micheal with a new swagger as an official spy but the season starts right off with the sexual tension between Fiona ( Gabrielle Anwar) and Micheal being satisfied, that is a new twist. I suspect even with those two major plot issues being resolved there is much more to come. Hmm, Micheal just alluded to still having a unresolved agenda so there are still lose ends to be tied up. Cool....Looks like Micheal has found a way to keep his original team which is himself, Fiona and Sam (Bruce Campbell) together on his first mission, Micheal's Mom (Sharon Gless) and cutie Jesse (Coby Bell) are still present and I am sure we will see much more of them in episodes to come. Got the usual amazing action scenes but oh no.....I can almost hear Mick Jagger singing I can't get no statisfaction......Micheal does not get the ultimate satisfaction he is looking for. The guy who burned him gets killed before he can get to him and get the info he has been seeking for the last 4 seasons...now what? Love the ending where the world renowed bad ass spy needed to go home to lick his wounds and have a heart to heart talk with his Mom. Well stay tuned this season and we will find out what is next .....thanks team for a great season premier episode!

Ryan Dunn Died in His Porsche 911 GT3 Today
Well it's very sad news today that Ryan Dunn went out in a ball of flames last night at 3am in PA. He was driving a Porsche 911 GT3, a VERY fast car, and I'm sure he was a little tipsy and feeling very invisible, taking the corners way to fast, mis judged it and went off the side into the wood hitting many different trees along the way. I'm sure that it was instant, or close to it. It's a big shocker to everyone, especially to the younger generation. I'm sure their own immortality hits home when someone like this dies so suddenly. Bam Margera admits to balling his eyes out all day, and then getting VERY pissed when Roger Ebert said something flippant on his Twitter account. I wouldn't be surprised if Bam socked him at some celebrity gathering. I'm sure it had to hit home with all the Jackass members, they all must be in complete shock. I guess Ryan Dunn will always be known as a Jackass, but he went out with a bang.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS Diecast Car Model I'm definitely going to buy one of these little cars to remember him by...
Well at least it looked like he was having fun before he broke on through to the other side...
Wondered why I could not get Netflix to work last night!
Found out it was not my system it was theirs that was non-functioning. Either Netflix had major server problems or someone hacked into there system to sabotage them as they were down for several hours ( which they are not admitting to being hacked into) .... or to teach us on demand instant gratification junkies to learn to have that old forgotten virtue, patience. Being able to stream television show episodes and movies has been the much needed entertainment alternative around my house since so many of the better TV shows have concluded for the season and some permanently. But what shows are never to come back and which ones that are starting to consider making next season their final season is for another time. Back to you Netflix glad you got up and running again, keep it streaming......

Landmark Year for Daytime TV
The Daytime Emmy Awards Show started off tonight addressing the fact that this is a landmark year for daytime TV.
This is not a year of just a one or two major changes but many! Is daytime TV going to become a TV waste land of woman's only point of view talk shows, game shows and reality TV? No Regis to help us start our day or two long time soaps All My Children and One Live to Live to carry us through the afternoon with drama and characters that have become like family members and friends we like to visit daily till Oprah's show starts. And how can they possibly replace 25 years of Oprah and that level of quality TV in this afternoon time slot? Our farewell to Oprah is hello.....who?
Lots of day time scheduling holes to fill...it will be real interesting to see what the networks do with it. What and who would you like to see on day time TV...that is if you even have the time to watch it!

For all those who have Father’s they love & have passed on to the the other side
It is all about Father's Day today! Someone on my Facebook friends listed posted this today. It really struck a cord for me and I think it will for others who have father's that are no longer here but love and miss them. Not sure if this is an original or a quote.
"If roses grow in heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me, place them in my Dads arms and tell him there from me. Tell him that I love him and miss him, and when he turns and smiles place a kiss upon his cheek and hold him for awhile. I love you Dad !!"
Happy Fathers Day to those dads that are with us and the ones that continue to live on fondly in our hearts and minds.....

So, what do you think of the new network TV shows?
We are 7 weeks into the Fall TV Season and a few shows have already bitten the dust. I think Fox’s LoneStar was canceled after the 3rd week which I was personally glad as the premise was ridiculous and it had no where to go but gone. Now I have not previewed or watched all of them but the ones that I have are not bad however the jury is out whether they will make it or not. There are a few I hope will like though like, The Defenders and Undercovers. I really like Detroit 1-8-7 with one of my favorite TV actors Christopher Moltisanti and understand it is doing well. The only show they are calling a natural hit is Blue Bloods this is a show with real substance and great acting. The two actors that make the show is Tom Selleck and Donnie Walhberg, just wondering why it is tucked away on Friday nights at 10:00 pm?
Only cable show right now worth watching according to me:) is the Son’s of Anarchy…that is some gritty, heavy stuff but worth the watch…while waiting from some of my other favorite cable shows start their next season.
Glee has been back on with new shows and is always fun to watch as is some of the other return shows like 30 Rock and Modern Families, The Office and Two an a Half Men but hey I think poor old Charley has crossed his TV role with his personal life and it is not working out to well for him. Think he needs to retire his role and the show get in rehab and maybe make a show about that! There is also a parade of new network comedy shows which look pretty iffy to me and OMG who is Donald Trumph paying off to continue is Apprentice Show!!!! Does any one watch that???
Hey, so what are you watching this season???
Stay tuned for more on this subject……..Lounge Lizzie A couple of my top 5 fav Summer Seaon Shows are signing off this week
A couple of my top 5 fav Summer Seaon Shows are signing off this week
Burn Notice and Memphis Beat have given us a great ride this summer! Both TV shows aired their season finale this week.
Burn Notice has been one of my top favorites for a while and from my opinion delivered this summer with good writing, story lines. twists, plots and lots of action ….oh yeah and an new character named Jessie that I hope will continue to be part of the team! The only thing I did not like was that we were left hanging with the questions…will Jessie be a friend or foe in the feature but more importantly will Michael Weston live on (he has too!) and who took the coded Bible and how does Fiona really feel about Jessie??? But a least they let us know we do not have to wait too long for new episodes as they will be coming back to answer these quesitons in November. Soooo kind of them not to make us wait till next summer!
But hey you can keep it going with the FB page till they come back: Burn Notice
Now one of my new favorite shows is Memphis Beat which is also a new show this summer not one that has been on I just discovered. I love Jason Lee as the lead character who is a great cop who has heart & soul, great “gut” instincts” and sings some mean blues. The story lines have been intriguing and the supporting cast is great and the music awesome…who does not love good ole Elvis songs and great Blues originating from Memphis Tennessee?
Jason Lee’s name on the show is Dwight who is a complex character, is a major fan of Elvis, lives with his mother and sings/plays guitar in a band once a case is closed to down load the stress of the job and keep his creative juices going……yet he is also an insightful perspective cop who bases his assumptions on facts and the human factor where he many times becomes the deciding factor to the outcome for the people involved in the crime he is investigating. To make things a little more intersting which the above could be enough he lives with his mother. He has an ex- wife and his father has died so why not live rent free with his mother and be there to help and protect her! Well, the by line for USA and should be for TNT as well…characters welcome and Dwight is a welcome new character!
If you did not catch the show this summer…check it out in reruns. To learn more about the show, check out the FB page for characters, story lines and the music: Memphis Beat
I am glad they are not ending all my top 5 fav’s on the same week…would not want to have to go into a TV recovery program to detox:)
