This Year’s Mother’s Day Present

Donna — Mon, 07 May 2012 03:05:15 +0000

Been looking at tv stands today online on my handy dandy new laptop. I need to come up with a Mother’s Day present and am having the worst time of it this year. The only thing that I can think of that my mother really needs is a new tv stand. I know it isn’t a typical Mother’s Day present, but there is nothing typical about any member in my family these days and I’ll be darned if I’m going to spend my hard earned money on something like flowers that will be dead in a few days and then tossed in the trash.

Jersey Shore

We had to say good bye to the most recent Jersey Shore series the other week. It seems that it was a record season and the whole gang left their “beach party house” in good health, good moods and as best friends. I haven’t heard if they are going to continue the controversial TV hit series, I hope so. I’ve gotten to get to know them so well that I’d kind of like to keep in touch, so to speak.

AFV, Still The Best

Donna — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 02:51:41 +0000

Out of all of the tv shows that are about funny/unusual videos that have become so popular through out the years, I have to say the America’s Funniest Videos is still the best out of the bunch. I very rarely agree with the choices that the judges make on which ones are the funniest, but it is still fun to watch.

Nothing on TV

Donna — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 01:07:59 +0000

It’s so hard to believe that with over 140 channels to pick from that there are times when I cannot find a single thing on the TV that I care to watch. I just switched over from cable to satellite and am for the most part very happy with what I am now able to view, but it just blows me away when I just can’t find anything on. I am the type of person that has to have the TV on almost 24/7, I can’t go to sleep without the darn thing on. My bad, I know….

Movie Critic

Years ago I took a course on screenwriting, taught by a famous actor and screenwriter while I was in Washington DC. He opened my eyes and my mind to the way movies are created. Now I can’t watch a movie like a normal audience member. I watch it with a critical eye and look for little tells, like the common locations and Hollywood tricks used during filming. I would love to be a movie director on a project and hope to write a screenplay that actually becomes a movie some day.

Morning Routine

Guest post from: Denver Stephens

I googled Cable TV Advisor because I need to get tv for my morning routine! My routine usually entails waking up at least 15 minutes later than I was supposed. Then, turning on the Today show for background as I get ready. I was kind of surprised Meredith didn’t last very long. I mean, I know she was there for years, but compared to a lot of the others, it was brief in comparison. Would the Today show be the Today show without Matt Lauer?! I think they do a good job of providing hard and soft news.

News

Donna — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 14:41:36 +0000

The past couple years I have really cut back on watching many news programs. It is just way too depressing and I’d prefer to try and keep on the positive side of things. Once in a while I will be cruising the TV channels and stumble on a story that gets my interest, such was the case early this morning while I was taking advantage of laying in bed and watching some TV on a lazy Saturday morning.

It seems that a couple had been living at their home for 40 years and just now discovered that the slab of marble that was at the front of their front door step was actually a tomb stone belonging to a woman named Jane. Sorry I can’t remember the last name, but that doesn’t really matter now does it? The date was back in the 1860′s and they were not able to find any remains (which I believe to be a good thing) and plan on keeping this unusual find, right side up this time,.

Reba

Donna — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 21:09:04 +0000

I never seem to tire of watching the reruns of Reba. Reba McIntyre has always been a favorite of mine as a singer, as an actor and as a mother. I really wish that her TV show had lasted a few years longer. It never fails, they finally come out with a good show and they don’t last but a season or two, three at the tops. I guess it’s true that nothing good lasts forever.

Pit Boss Marathon

Donna — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 17:18:17 +0000

Last night while waiting out the hurricane scare it was cool to watch The Animal Planets hit TV show the Pit Boss. They had a marathon going on that had a lot of episodes that I had never seen before. I’m so glad that this show is coming back for another season. Shorty and his crew are a group of awesome little people that make a big difference for so many pit bulls and many of their owners. Now I just want to know what he is going to do about being so short staffed, please excuse that pun folks!

Summer Re Runs

Donna — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 02:01:04 +0000

Most people get annoyed with the summer re runs that are inevitable each summer season, but I have to say that I appreciate the opportunity to catch some of the episodes that I missed that I would otherwise never get the chance to see. If that means that I have to watch something for the second time, well so be it.
