New Terminator : Sarah Connor Chronicles show plus LATE NIGHT & A daily show!

Well the STRIKE is still on and the Directors (DGA) reached a supposed deal...of course MANY directors are also PRODUCERS...writers as well...but directors even more so!!!

American Idol is back and not much stands in its way...

Our Old Friend is back:

NO no no..not him..well not him exactly....but definitely:

I caught the pilot of this show and it wasn't bad. It's not the movie we know and love but it's WAY better than I expected ( I had low hopes to begin with). I missed episode 2 for some reason..my TiVo took over..uh oh ..it's happening.....the machines!! AHHHHH!!!!!

I'm going to keep watching it and I think I'll be able to catch up even though I missed episode 2 which I have no doubt must be on the net by now. [GIVE THE WRITERS THEIR MONEY!]

It's weird how with this show and the upcoming next TERMINATOR movie:
[currently titled - Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins], we have 5 different actors playing JOHN CONNOR. (EW forgets about the cameo from the original movie in their blurb!)

[Did anyone else know that BILL PAXTON was the PUNK LEADER in the original?!?Ahh the 80s!]

There's this guy from FILM 1 - Does he look like Christian Bale..not too far off
(it says in the year 1984 but this picture is from the future!):

Plus everyone's favorite Furlong:

Then (being in T2)

Now or 2005 which is close...(cigarettes and partying didn't help his face!)

Then came T3 but technically this new TV show is supposed to take place between T2 & T3, so Ed Furlong becomes Thomas Dekker in the TV show:

At least they were trying to have the hair be somewhat similar.....

Of course then we get to Nick Stahl who I love from "Disturbing Behavior w/ Katie H Cruise"
but kind of looks nothing like these kids:

...and Finally..he's the NEW Batman and now the new JOHN CONNOR,
Bale - Christan Bale!

With all these John Connors (plus the tv show gives us 2 Sarah Connors!) around...maybe it's to trick us or confuse us when it comes to the storyline & the many timelines --- I found a blog post
that tries to tackle the timeline and straighten it all out for us --- even after you read it, your head might hurt: THE TERMINATOR(s) STORY & TIMELINE

The show is definitely worth watching!! {Of course it's basically the only scripted show running!!}

COUNTDOWN TO LOST --- Check out some trailers for Season 4 plus some humor:

Let me Help you Get L O S T all over again!

----------------------

Late Night Returns . . .

Letterman has his deal and his writers.

Leno is kind of writing his own jokes and is in hot water.

I've always found Jimmy funny but never really got hooked on his late night show.

Ferguson has writers too and many like him but I've always preferred Conan.

All the shows seem to really support the WRITERS but these have REALLY TRIED:

JON STEWART -- It is NOT "THE DAILY SHOW" but until the writers get a deal -- it's just

'a daily show' and I love how all his fellow reporters are just standing there with nothing to say!

CONAN O'BRIAN -- He is singing, making guests walk through mazes, ziplining through his audience with smoke coming out of his helmet and shoes, taking ideas from his fans and seems to be writing as little as possible!

STEPHEN COLBERT - He is showing that there is absolutely NOTHING written in his teleprompters, eating chinese food to kill time, spinning a roulette wheel to see who will win caucuses!

-- I only watched season 1 of THE APPRENTICE but for some reason I'm drawn to these shows when they become Celebrity and other has been shows to see what happened to these people...weird...freaky....

So I'm watching CELEBRITY APPRENTICE and I picked Vinny "Big Pussy" Pastore to win it all in the beginning....they showed a preview for the show in 2 weeks with the funniest lines:

Vinnie: "He called me a Fat Italian."
Trump: "Unbelievable"
Piers Morgan" "I called him a VERY Fat Italian!"

Great stuff...hehe...

Sadly - RIP Brad Renfro (1982 - 2008)

Harry Knowles take on this tragedy

Also Harry's buddy J.J has given us this sneak peek at a new STAR TREK picture:

The Emmy Awards were censored...FOX?!?!
Tonight was the 1st time the EMMY AWARDS were on FOX!! Not only that but it was the 1st time they were presented in the ROUND! If you have them in the round like that, you should cater to ALL 4 sides. The cast of Ugly Betty and some other abc shows spent the night staring at people's behinds!! What's even worse?!? A few times while people were talking, the camera cut away from them and you couldn't hear what they were saying!!! I thought at first this was some technical glitch but it became clear during SALLY FIELD's acceptance speech that she was deliberately CUT OFF! A great actress wins her EMMY AWARD....only to be CENSORED?!?! Wow...just WOW!! I think it all has to do with the show being on FOX which is owned by Rupert Murdoch and the same people who own FOX NEWS. The same channel that has programming like "Who wants to marry a millionaire?", has the nerve to censor people speaking their mind!! Nobody was cursing...Sally probably said something like if WOMEN ran this country, we wouldn't be at war ...definitely something about the WAR and Iraq! This censorship happened at least 3 times during the show, maybe more! David Chase got away with one last remark at the end -- with gangsters running this country... Anyone else think that FOX was out of line to censor so many people tonight?!?

Sorry, but the blog post could not be located.

WishLists

This is one of the cooler options that Tivo has!!

A wishlist can be a keyword, an actor, a director, or category!! You can have your tivo auto-record all wishlist shows or just select through a choice!

I have Hitchcock and Lumet Films being Tivo-ed!!

I have a few actors including Phillip Seymour Hoffman...I still need to see him in Happiness!!!

What are some of the keywords and or actors/directors you have as wishlists?!?

(oh and family guy is a wishlist so it gets family guy on all its channels!!!)

The Weekend is near....and so is the fall tv season!!

Pushing Daisies
Bionic Woman
Chuck
Journeyman

I love the struggle of trying to figure out which shows are worth watching and which ones just SUCK!!!!

ABC Fall Schedule 07-08
CBS Fall Schedule 07-08

DAMAGES (my title: DAM-EVIL)

Ok so I'm a little behind on this show as I watch stuff on my own time - THANK YOU TIVO!!

I just saw the pilot and cannot believe how EVIL it all is..GLENN CLOSE is not to be messed with. She fights for the little guy but she actually has no qualms to do what she has to do to get what she wants..no matter how awful and EVIL!!!

This show is helped by a former Sopranos writer....maybe he wrote most of the whackings!! I see some really sick and twisted events developing here...just based on the pilot! Blood, a dead dog, a dead fiance....things really are gonna hit the fan!!!

It does make me wonder how they would do more than one season of this show...I guess it depends on the outcome of how everything got SO messed up for young Ellen (Rose Byrne)!!

I got 2 more episodes on my TiVo to watch..with another probably soon to pop up!!

One word : EVIL!

I have to start in on MAD MEN as well...Bronx is Burning, I'm not sure about watching as I am not a yankees fan -- but I do think Oliver Platt is awesome. He made that show HUFF on showtime...of course now it is gone from showtime..hopefully Cdalifornication is really good!!
