A Note: Are the TV Execs on Crack?

I'm concerned about the swirling rumors that Cougartown can't find a time slot for its winter return on ABC (yeah, because shows like shark tank offer so much more to us as a culture), and there's a petition going around to save Community from ending. Say what???? These are two of the best multi-cast friend-group comedies around and they can't find spots for them? Check yourself before you wreck yourself. If anyone has some ideas about what to send the networks (a la Roswell and Tabasco sauce), let me know. I'm thinking penny cans and pencils?????

A Love Note: Live From Daryl's house

Things I love:
80's music
live music
current artists doing their acoustic thing
recipes

Where I found it: Live from Daryl's House
Daryl, the Hall half of Hall and Oates, has been hosting a monthly web series for about 2 years, where he invites artists from Train to Oates to join him for some jam sessions, dinner, and conversation. The first epiosde I saw was a few months ago, where Hall hosted John Reznik from the Goo Goo Dolls, and I was in love. Nothing like GGD and Buffalo wings to win me over! Now the show is on TV. I caught episode 31 (there are 48 as of today) with guest rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. Through his engaging persona on Twitter, I have developed a massive friend crush on Rob T. Rob if you see this- let's hang out!!!!!!! So thanks to Hall! Let's let the good music keep rolling.

A Note: My Not So Guilty Pleasure Playlist

Ok, I'll admit it. I like teen pop music. I can't stop it, I love it like a love song. Here's my top five songs I can't get out of my head.

Music Sounds Better with You
Big Time Rush
I watched this music video about 5 times last night. It's highly addictive and Logan looks adorable.

Love You Like a Love Song
Selena Gomez
And I keep hitting re-peat peat peat peat....

Baby
Justin Bieber
I carry deep shame in admitting this....

Dancing Crazy
Miranda Cosgrove
And we never stop, we never stop ...

Party in the USA

Miley Cyrus
So I put my hands up, they're playing me song...
As my campers would say: I don't support Miley as a person but I like her music.

A Note About Blue Bloods: All Class, All Sass

Blue Bloods may be just another cop show, but here's what makes it different. The deep family values and the sassy one-liners really change things for the better. Here's a sample of tonight's winners:

"Where do I put this?"
- Danny's partner Jackie (holds her gun in the air while going undercover as a hooker)
"Baker, how have you come to ruin my day now?"
- Frank to his assistant
"The roast looks good."
- Frank when asked to weigh in about his granddaughter joining the police force
"Maybe I should become goth."
- Bridget's daughter at the museum
"Grandad if you have a job, will you still make us dinner?"
- Danny's kids to their greant grandpa at family dinner night
"Hey. Eyes up!"
- Linda to her husband as he goes off to an undercover sting with his sluttily dressed partner
"You'll do."
- A potential John to undercover cop Jackie
"Don't kid a kidder."
- Frank's head PR guy
"Another night of sleaze and desperation."
- Danny on a stakeout
"Its nice to share a meal with someone who's not talking about the murder rate in Bensonhurst or weighing the merits of a 98 glock vs. a 32 special."
- Bridget to her date

Jamie: "You know Jackie, this undercover stuff scares me too."
Jackie: "But you don't have a bad past like me kid."

Sham Marriage Ends: America Set Free Again

After 72 days of marriage, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kris Humphries.  A word to the wise kids: never marry someone who has the same first name as your mom. Also, doubly never marry this person if the two spell their names the same way. It is guaranteed to get weird.

     To tell the truth, I really thought Kris (boy, not mom) would be the first one to pull the plug. But, maybe Kim woke up and realized that eventually the NBA lockout will end and Kris might actually have something to do with his life. In any case, this marriage lasted way longer than Britney Spears and Jason Alexander (2 days, and no not that guy from Seinfeld), but at least they woke up in Vegas and were able to correct (annul) their mistakes with a clean and hopefully sober mind.
