R.I.P "Ed McMahon"


Ed McMahon died Tuesday June 23rd at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in California. Ed was 86 years old, and is best known for in my opinion being Johnny Carson's co host. Also he is greatly known for Hosting the popular syndicated talent show "Star Search" which aired from 1983 to 1995. He was an amazing talent for TV, and will be sorely lost.

"Futurama" is Back! Like I said it Would


Following in the footsteps of FOX's "Family Guy" due to DVD sales This show is set to return in 2010. That might seem along time for some of us, but a chance to get more people to catch up with the show, and movies I told everyone about before. No word if it will be on FOX, but I assume it will be they suck up money from every source, and don't apologize for making mistakes. 20th Century FOX & Comedy Central are not only bringing it back, but they want double the amount of episodes per season. So fans will be happy to know you will get 26 episodes per season. As more info comes my way I will post immediately.

TLC's "John & Kate Plus 8" Hubbub

I only stared watching the show because of my girlfriend like most men out their. The new season is getting the best ratings ever. After watching the show, and with all that is going on only two things can happen. The show will end to protect their family emotionally, or it will continue with a divorce. Being in front of a camera when you are just starting your family is a big stress even bigger when the show is so dam popular. I don't blame John for wanting to get away, and hang out with friends. Frankly I think there is nothing to the stories put out there to get fools to buy magazines. Think about it most people don't buy magazines anymore they have the Internet for that which isn't much better. Its really a shame for the kids, but at least their schooling will be paid for from the show. Listen If your on TV you will have people that want a story that they will spin anything from a picture or video. It's a shame when it happens to a family though. We don't need to pry into their life's like that and think that what we see, and hear from a 3rd-4th-5th party is the truth. The new season started off sad for good reason. The first episode was put together fast to somewhat answer what is out their now in the so called news. Its one thing running a scripted show, but a reality show with kids its really a God Dam Shame all this is going on. Remember this show started about raising 8 kids, and how their home life is not who they hang around with.

History Channel's "Expedition Africa" Review



Who hasn't heard the phrase "Dr. Livingston I presume". Starting tomorrow on the History Channel a new show starts adding to the history of adventures. Four explores set out to follow the footsteps of a journalist Henry Morton Stanley who set out to follow Livingston's journey through Africa trying to see what happened to him. Livingston disappeared in the 19Th century. He dedicated his life to stop slavery. Four brave people now set out to go on a long journey through places most people don't travel or would dare hike in. The navigator is Pasquale Scaturro, The wildlife expert is Mireya Mayor (she's cute), The survuvalist is Benedict Allen, & how could you not retrace the steps without another journalist who is Kevin Sites. All four team members will face many many many things in the Jungle,Swamps, Mountains, and Barren deserts. Its always nice to see different places, and how people live/cope with where they spend their lives. Being put in a place you have knowledge about, and are aware of the dangers doesn't mean your safe 100% for an expedition. This show keeps you on the edge. Just think how primitive survival tools were back when Livingston/Stanley went on their expeditions. Now also know that not much has changed. You can bring the best of the best with you People/Tools, but that doesn't help you from mother nature, and animals/Bugs. This is definitely worth your time to watch that only 2 other people have done. It is surreal the views, & experiences they will live through. All four team members will travel nearly 1,000 miles in 30 days. It will be amazing to see what will happen. Please watch the premier on Sunday the 31st at 10pm/9 Central.
