Save Conviction!

So I just figured out that NBC cancelled the best show to come out in ages! I'm so pissed. Conviction was restoring my faith in the people that put new shows on television. I've got every episode downloaded on my iPod...yes, I actually PAID $1.99 for each of 12 episodes. And I watch them alllll the time! So help me try to convince NBC to bring it back! Sign the petition!!

My Latest Obssession (Hemmorage - Chris Daughtry)



I resisted American Idol for the first 2 seasons. I tuned in the third season just to watch the auditions and hear Simon rip the daylights out of all the horrid singers. But I kept tuning in just to see how some of the people did. Season 4 I tuned in and voted every night. Season 5 I DVR every episode. I don't always get to vote because I'm usually asleep because I have to go to work. Chris (the hottie you are watching above :oP) totally has to win this season. If he doesn't win...I'll be on a plane to Los Angeles to burn down the American Idol offices! I am way digging on how awesome this guy is. I actually have most of the songs that he has sang on Idol downloaded onto my iPod, plus a couple songs from his band Absent Element, too. I can't believe how awesome he did with Hemmorage, which is one of my favorite songs ever. Not to mention...have you noticed how hot he is? Holy guacamole Batman! I just want to lick him! LOL Matt was rather amused by that one. Hey a girl can look, right? :oP

Where's the "Real" Programming??





I hated reality tv. No, really. I resisted and resisted and resisted some more. After all, everyone knows that reality tv is rarely "real", right? I didn't even watch Survivor until 5 seasons or so had gone by. 2 seasons of American Idol went by before I tuned in "just to see that mean guy rip the losers apart during the auditions". Sigh. What happened to me? I now fill my television viewing time with (in no particular order): Survivor, American Idol, The Real World, Road Rules, Real World/Road Rules Challenges, Laguna Beach, Battle of the Network Reality Stars, Celebrity Fit Club, The Surreal Life, Tommy Lee Goes to College, Gene Simmons' Rock School, Iron Chef America, and Miami Ink. Sheesh. Whatever happened to the days of Friends and Law & Order? What happened to the "real" programming?

And don't even get me started on my soap operas.....

MTV Reality Series


Sooo, I have a confession to make. When MTV first started to introduce "real" programming, I was pissed. Okay, more than pissed - I was one of those "give me my f***in' music videos back" people who signed the petitions....you get the idea.

My DVR is set to record all episodes of 5 programs: The Young & The Restless, As the World Turns, Real World, Laguna Beach, and The 70s House. 3 of those are from MTV! How sad is that? Me, the one who abhorred the idea of MTV showing less videos and more "crappy" shows. Go figure. I actually bought the DVD box set of Laguna Beach Season 1. The day it came out. The minute Target opened. I'd get the Real World too, but they have only released 2 of the seasons: New York and Las Vegas. I want them all!
