MISS TV GIRl: MY THOUGHTS ON THE EMMY NOMINATIONS

 
Released by Miss TV Girl

It comes as no surprise that the The Emmys likes the familiar, so when the nominations were announced this morning I was pleasantly shocked and surprised by the new faces that have finally been invited to the party this year.  Now, I am still upset by the complete disregard of "Parenthood",   for the second year.

Completely Excited About:  

*Walter Goggins, Timothy Olyphant , and Margo Martindale, thanks for  showing the love to the magnificent cast  of "Justified".

* Finally "Parks and Recreations" up for best comedy. 

* Louie C.K.  the biggest and best surprise of the nominations                                 

 
*Martha Plimpton  nod for lead actress for "Raising Hope"

* Ed O'Neil getting some respect this year 

*Gwyneth Paltrow nod for guest star boy did she rock on  "Glee"

 
* Alan Cummings for "The Good Wife" boy do "I Love You "

I  Don't Understand:

Mariska Hargitay , she is great, but the performance is not Emmy worthy year after year.  There are just too many other dramatic lead actresses (Katey Segal, Kyra Sedgewick,  and Lauren Graham)who should have their names on the ballot this year.
 
 Betty White for "Hot in Cleveland", I understand the sentiment, but this is not an Emmy worthy performance. Now I say this as the person who list Betty White and the cast of "The Golden Girls" as the best in television history.
 

Snubs:

*Fringe"  will the show and cast ever get any love from Emmy?  This was by far the best season and Anna Torv, John Noble and Joshua Jackson all turned out stellar performances

* "Parenthood's"  cast is one of the best on television(Peter Krause, Lauren Graham, Mae Whitman, Monica Potter) and  still  no love.
 

*  Nick Offerman so deserved a  nomination for "Parks and Recreations"

* Matt Czuchry  for "The Good Wife", his work was great  this year.

* Brent Sexton for the "The Killing", I felt his performance was just as worthy as Michelle Forbes nominations.


I don't know about you , but for the. first time in a very long time I am excited to watch "The Emmys".  I just hate that  two of my favorites Walter Goggins(Justified) and Alan Cummings ( The Good Wife)  will compete and only one can win.

SPOILERS: BIG BROTHER 13 (WEEK 1) EVICTION AND NEW HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD

 HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD


 
 EVICTED

Released by Miss TV Girl

After one crazy week Keith is the first person to be voted out of the Big Brother 13 house with a 6-4 vote.  It is a little to early in he game to formulate any true opinions of the houseguest, but boy I am happy to see Keith gone.  Besides being annoying, he is playing one of the worse games in Big Brother history and this is the first week.  Who throws a POV competition and puts his fate in the hand of complete strangers.  Now don't get me wrong, Porshe isn't exactly my cup of tea and her game is just as bad, she just had the veterans on her side.  I think Dominic should be very worried.

I really hoping the game picks up really soon. I know its only the first week, but boy am I not interested and/or vested in any of these people winning the game. Some seasons just take a little longer to draw out the interesting people.

 Am I the only person who can't believe I am sitting through another season with Brenden and Rachel the most dysfunctional couple ever? The fight tonight was beyond ridiculous. These two are borderline certifiable and marriage should be the last thing on their agenda.

Tonight's Best Moment:

* The votes weren't unanimous 
* Keith's Eviction
* Jordan winning Head of Household


Tonight's Most Cringe Worthy Moments
*The Brenden and Rachel fight about absolutely nothing
* Adam and his constant mantra of being "The Metal Guy"
* Porsche receiving the Golden Key

SPOILERS:BIG BROTHER 13 (WEEK 1)

 
Released by Miss TV Girl

 

 OK, it looks like "Big Brother 13" is off to good start.  I usually hate the games where you are forced to pair with a stranger,  just imagine having a strategy to get to the final three all mapped out  and the powers that be throw a wrench into your plan with a forced pairing, I would be livid.  I still believe that you can apply my  rules and get very far in the game, its just a little bit harder. But, I think that I am going to like this twist, due to the return of  the  past "Dynamic Duos".  Speaking of the past "Dynamic Duos", Rachel won  the Head of Household

The returning house are

Rachel and Brendan: I am so not looking forward to a another season of Rachel's laugh, I have to admit the two did play and interesting game during their season, but their downfall was not following Rule #2

Jeff and Jordan: All I can say is Jordan is the luckiest player in "Big Brother" history and not following Rule #2 helped her win the season.  Jeff, however lost because he ignored Rule #2.

Dick and Danielle:  I am not really interested in seeing these two go very far together, but they were very good during their season.  Evil Dick is a lot of personality handle and watching Danielle look like she is scared to death of him is very uncomfortable.

Big Brother also decided to throw a another twist in the game.  When you are nominated for eviction this summer and you survive the chopping block, you will receive the "Big Brother Golden Key", which guarantees you a spot in the Top 10.  Anyone who survives eviction cannot be nominated  or participate in any competitions until only 10 people remain in the house. So, being on the chopping block doesn't have to be a bad thing this season, if you can secure the votes.

BURBANK, CA – July 7, 2011 – ABC has licensed its iconic soaps, “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” to Prospect Park, it was announced today by Brian Frons, President, Daytime, Disney/ABC Television Group & Janice Marinelli, President, Disney/ABC Domestic Television and Rich Frank & Jeff Kwatinetz of Prospect Park.  The exclusive multi-year, multi-platform deal enables the soaps’ stories to continue beyond their finale dates on ABC.  ABC will broadcast its final episode of “All My Children” on Friday, September 23^rd and will air the final episode of “One Life to Live” in January, 2012.

The licensing agreement, brokered by Disney/ABC Domestic Television Group, enables Prospect Park to continue production of “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” beyond their life on ABC. Prospect Park will produce and deliver the two long-running programs to consumers via online formats and additional emerging platforms including internet enabled television sets. Under the terms of the arrangement, the programs will continue to be delivered with the same quality and in the same format and length.  Additional details of the new productions and tune-in will be forthcoming from Prospect Park.

“We are privileged to continue the legacy of two of the greatest programs to air on daytime television, and are committed to delivering the storylines, characters and quality that audiences have come to love for over 40 years. ‘All My Children’ and ‘One Life to Live’ are television icons, and we are looking forward to providing anytime, anywhere viewing to their loyal community of millions,” said Frank and Kwatinetz. “Technology changes the way the public can and will view television shows.  Now that there are so many devices available in addition to television sets, viewers are taking advantage of watching shows wherever they are and on any number of devices.  The driving force in making the switch and attracting new audiences is to have outstanding programs that people want to watch. We believe that by continuing to produce the shows in their current hour format and with the same quality, viewers will follow the show to our new, online network.”

“’All My Children’ and ‘One Life to Live’ are iconic pieces of television history that captivated millions of fans since their beginning over 40 years ago,” said Frons. “Each of the shows have made an indelible mark on our culture’s history and informed our consciousness in their own way.  We are so glad Prospect Park has assumed the mantel for these shows and that they will continue for the fans.”

Marinelli continued, “From the time the shift in the daytime strategy was announced, our hope was to find a new home for these treasured shows.   We are thrilled to license them to Prospect Park so the stories of life in Pine Valley and Llanview can continue to be told for the passionate and loyal fans that enjoy watching each day.”

“I’m just so happy that ABC found a home where the legacies of ‘All My Children’ and ‘One Life to Live’ can continue.  I’m excited for their future with Prospect Park,” added Agnes Nixon, creator of both “All My Children” and “One Life to Live.”  “It takes a lot of living to make a soap opera a serial, and the wonderful teams on both shows have done just that. Together, we are a big family that keeps going, and I’m looking forward to working alongside these wonderful people as we ensure that the shows will continue with all the love and excitement we’ve always had.  I also am so happy for our loyal fans, whom we love so much, and who have been so supportive over the last 40 plus years.”

MISS TV GIRL'S DOS AND DON'T FOR WINNING "BIG BROTHER 13"

Released by Miss TV Girl

My one and only favorite reality television series "Big Brother" returns tonight. Following the premiere on Thursday, July 7 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), BIG BROTHER will be broadcast three nights weekly, beginning Sunday, July 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), Wednesday, July 13 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) and the LIVE eviction show, hosted by Julie Chen, beginning Thursday, July 14 (9:00-10:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT).

 Like previous years, I will continue to give spoilers and updates about the events inside the house throughout the season.

I am really really hoping for some smart players instead of emotional players this year.  Now don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with going inside the Big Brother house and making friends and alliances, but you can not forget that you are in there to play a game and win a lot of money and so are your fellow houseguests.  So don't be surprised if someone lies to you.

I still believe that for anyone entering the house watching the Will and Dan seasons are a must. Now the two of of them played very risky and dangerous games, but at the same time they were never careless and dumb. Do we all remember Ronnie from "Big Brother 11" ? Dumb!

So here are my rules for how to win "Big Brother 12"

1.Watch the Will and Dan seasons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Don't fall  in love with a fellow houseguest, you instantly become a target because the house knows that you two will protect each other

3. Don't take anything personally, when you do, your game becomes emotional and you lose

4.TRUST NO ONE, remember you do not know these people and they are there to win, so always follow your gut.

5. Head of Household vote to evict your target, not the target of the house.

If the players  follow the five above rules, I can promise you a place in the Finale 3.

Now, if you end up in a house like "Big Brother 11, consider yourself very very lucky because theses rules do not apply. Why? Because everything will be based on luck . Let's not forget Jordan won the game.

"Big Brother" follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, the Houseguests vote someone out of the house. At the end, the last remaining Houseguests receives the grand prize of $500,000.
