welcome back tv.

just as the year seemed to be getting bleaker, my very favorite of favoritest tv shows have reemerged from the dark depths of writers strike/IHOP (?).

Real World 20- Hollywood: I know that technically, I may be a little too old to still be watching this show, but the casting this season is so on the money, that you would be doing yourself a great disservice not to at least set your DVR to record this show, and watch it at your conveninece. I think since Real World Key West, the show has kinda been on a decline. Producers were trying too hard to cast people for the sake of drama, and everyone knows that the best drama produces itself. This season...has the potential to be genius. Real World is back. They decided to take a side step to current gays in tv trend (gotta have a gay person in our show, it the in thing to do) and instead opted to put 2 black guys in the house (one to many if you ask me). One of them was apparently voted into the house by online fans...he refers to people as "peasants" and walks around the house in a full robe and pajama set. Very classy. We are only two episodes in and the southern belle (who reminds me alot of my Texan roommate's friends) has already called the black-like girl "ghetto" and will go down in history, in my book for saying that said "ghetto" girl was from BLACK-ville. Remember when you were on national TV being a ignorant/racist? Oh, btw.....the black-like "ghetto" girl is....a stripper in real life. Oh....and my favorite....Joey from the Chi. He has some serious emotional issues....deep, deep inside. He is an angry drunk and a cryer. Please, please, please look at this clip below. Im telling you...Joey is the star player this season. This is going to be a good f*ckin season. I'm in love already.

In other news...30 Rock is back and so is The Office. Gladiator is returning in mid May. And LOST is back. Last nights episode was real real good. The smoke monster is back. I've only been alluding to this dude for 3 years before the writers decided to tie him back into the plot. And apparently, the smoke monster does favors. You give him a phone call, and he..it wackes people...with the quickness. After an hour, I was left baffled and confused...but at least some loose ends were tied up. Some character were offed, so we wont be forced to set through there boring back stories. And Ben...is pretty bad ass. ANTM is winding down. We are at the top 5, and the big girl model is still around. They are slowly but surely making good decisions about who to kick off the show, but there needs to be a rule...transvestites can no longer be allowed. I mean, yeah, it was funny at first, but this man-woman is still on the show. And I would also like to bring the following to table...I think Tyra's head is getting a little too gassed up. I understand that you did some things Tyra. But...your just a model...correction, you were a model. Your are not changing the world, you are taking pictures. Leave the tude at home fatty. Just be nice. Your not Diddy, just be regular and not a b*tch.

And now, for the finale.....the new member to my weekly line-up. Hell's Kitchen. Talk about mindless entertainment. The premise...this "famous Chef"...Chef Ramsey (who is a Brit, go figure), is running this kitchen were he on a weekly basis challenges a bunch of cooks, and kicks the weak link off at the end. So basically it is like every elimination reality show ever made, except...Chef Ramsey don't take no sh*t. He is a complete asshole. And the contestants....really, really suck. So those two factors combined make up an hour of yelling and screaming, horrible commercial break outros and sexism. It's fun. It ridiculous. And at in end...you too can be a "famous chef." Ummmmm, riiiigggghhhhht.....
