Dumbest Survivor ever?

by

Did anyone watch Survivor last night?

We didn’t watch it last night, but we did tape it.

I just saw the show and man wasn’t that stupid? I can’t believe the last guy is gone and only because he was dumb enough to believe the girls and gave away his individual immunity. I knew as each and every one of the remaining women picked up their pens that they were writing Erik’s name down.

I don’t know if he’s really the dumbest survivor ever, but after seeing the women back stab and trick several of the other guys he should have known better.

I’m hoping that either Amanda or Cirie wins on Sunday. Natalie and Parvati are just too evil to win. Even if either of them are in the last three I think they’ll have too many enemies on the jury to win.





Men in Trees canceled

by

I was just reading TV guides Ausiello Scoop and learned that ABC has canceled Men in Trees.

I’d only started getting into that show towards the end of last season, but I enjoyed each and every show and kept up with it this season.

Did you know that during the writers strike ABC has 12 or so shows on hold that they could have been airing instead of running reruns of their other shows? Perhaps if they’d done that and hadn’t moved the show around so much Men in Tree’s would have had a bigger following now and wouldn’t have been canceled.

I have a feeling that in the next week or two we’ll start to hear about a few other shows being canceled. Ones that don’t make sense canceling because they didn’t have a chance to gain an audience.

Did you enjoy Men in Trees? Were you a fan?

If you were a fan you’ll be happy to know that when they were filming the last episodes for this season they did film scenes that would give the show closure if it were to be canceled so those scenes will be tagged onto the finale. The rest of the Men in Tree’s episodes will start up again on May 28th.

I’m hearing funny voices

by

tomlin_lily.jpg Have you ever seen the skit “Ernestine, the Telephone Operator”? It was a role that actress Lily Tomlin was famous for on the early 70’s ? show Laugh In.

Her telephone operator voice was high and nasally. Very irritating yet humorous.

Well I just got a call from a company that wanted to know if we needed new doors or window replacements and the person who called had a voice just like the operator. I don’t know if she was faking it or if that was her real voice. Poor thing if that’s the way she really talks!

That reminds me of another funny voice Chris and I heard recently … A couple of months ago Chris and I went through a McDonald’s drivethru after taking our puppy to her training class. The person who took our order decided it would be funny to pretend to be a dumb chick with a high pitched voice. Turns out it was a guy when we got to the pickup window.

I know it’s probably not as funny hearing about these funny voices that we’ve been subject to lately as hearing them in real life, but it was funny. How do you not crack up when some telemarketer calls you and they sound like a humorous TV character?

Have you heard any funny voices lately? Telemarketers or perhaps someone serving you in a store or restaurant?

Watching TV with a puppy around is a pain!

I’m so happy that Thursday night TV is back! There are so many great shows on Thursday nights now that I have to tape several of them and watch them on Friday or Saturday.

Actually taping the shows on the DVR is a great idea now that we have a puppy. For some reason during the evening she always wants to go out about every half hour or else she’s jumping around playing with her toys, dropping her toy bones on the hardwood floor and just plain making a lot of noise. It makes watching TV a bit of a drag, especially when it’s a favorite show as it can take a long time to watch with all those distractions! If we didn’t tape the shows we’d only ever get to see half of each program.

I’m watching Lost right now. The scene with Hurley in the hospital …. so do you think the Oceanic 6 really are dead or what?

What are your favorite Thursday night shows?

Yeah, Thursday night TV is back!

Isn’t it great that some of the best TV shows are finally back?

Last night there were so many good shows on we taped all our favs and we’re still watching them this evening because there just wasn’t time to watch them all in one night.

I’m watching Gray’s Anatomy right now and later we’ll watch Survivor. I had to watch Ugly Betty last night. I really missed that show.

Do you have a favorite show that just came back?
