BET’s The Game Casting Shakeup


Finally these actors have gotten some sense. Two cast members are out on BET’s The Game. Tia Mowry-Hardrict has decided to leave that horrible show that she has been a part of for five seasons . Rumblings started earlier today about Mowry and her onscreen husband (Pooch Hall) leaving the show. Mowry confirmed today via Twitter saying

Just wanted to let all my fans know that I will not be returning to The Game for season 6. It was an incredible run and I had lots of fun along the way. I am looking forward to my upcoming projects…the release of my book #OhBaby [today!], season 2 of @TiaTameraShow on @mystyle premiering in June, and my @ABCFamily movie coming out in December…more to come!” love u so much.

Good about time she left that show. It’s so terrible. So terrible. I don’t know what other projects she’s talking about since that movie already filmed and the reality show is just that a reality show and not a real job. Good for her though. I’m sure some new things will come her way. Too bad she made the decision after pilot season.

As for her costar, Pooch Hall, nothing has been confirmed about him. Last week he confirmed that he and BET were in the middle of contract negotiations. Who knows what’s gonna happen? I kind of hope he and BET come to an agreement though because let’s be real he doesn’t have many prospects. The only thing he can look forward to are straight to DVD blackbuster movies that will air on Saturday afternoons on BET.

Season Finales Tuesday 5/15/12


90210 – CW 8/7c – Season 4 finale. Naomi decides  to accept a job in New York. It probably has something to do with her ex Max getting married and her planning the wedding. Teddy returns (yay love him); Dixon tries to save his relationship with Adrianna (why? She’s so ridiculous); Silver must choose between Liam and Navid (Liam all the way).

NCIS – CBS 8/7c – Season 9 finale. NCIS and Navy are shaken by terrorism and  face devastating surprises; the case impacts Jimmy destination wedding.

 

NCIS: Los Angeles – CBS 9/8c – Season 3 Two hour finale.  The team confronts their vengeful criminal mastermind, The Chameleon, when an undercover case ignites a deadly mind game.

Fashion Star – NBC 10/9c – Season 1 finale. The remaining three contestants are tasked with creating separate showcases consisting of three garments for each of the retailers. The designer that can meet the needs of Macy’s, H&M and Saks Fifth Avenue will be named America’s first ”Fashion Star” and receive a capsule collection in each of the stores. The winning designs will be available online immediately and in stores the following day. Why is this show still on? And not only that NBC picked it up for another season. I mean really?? This show is beyond terrible. Well good luck with that fourth place status NBC.

Private Practice – ABC 10/9c – Season 5 finale. When Amelia goes into labor and makes the hardest decision of her life. All the doctors she had pushed away come to her aid. After Pete gets in trouble, he and Violet realize what they mean to one another, and Addison makes a choice.

Network Upfronts


The upfronts are this week and this when networks bust out their fall schedules to advertisers as a way for them to buy commercial space “upfront” before the season actually begins.  As they release their schedules, I will post on each network and what stayed and what was cancelled as well as have a schedule for when everything is going to air so you can start preparing for Fall 2012 tv.

Season Finales Monday 05/13/12


Bones – FOX 8/7c – Season 7 finale. The “hacktivist” is back in court on appeal, and Booth and Brennan have to work to prove he is guilty once and for all but in their effort to pin another murder on him evidence comes to light that points to Brennan being a suspect.

 

How I Met Your Mother – CBS 8/7c – Season 9 finale. Lily goes into labor while Marshall and Barney are in Atlantic City; Robin and Ted try to distract Lily from her labor pains. It then jumps to the future on Barney’s wedding day where the gang remembers the time they encouraged Ted to go after the one that got away.

Gossip Girl – CW 8/7c – Season 5 finale. Blair is targeted by Gossip Girl, forcing Serena to make a confession; Nate asks Lola to move in with him; Lily makes a decision about her marriage; Blair makes a choice between Dan and Chuck.

Two And A Half Men – CBS 9/8c – Season 9 finale. Jake graduates from high school and must decide what to do with his life. This makes me feel really old because this kid is graduating high school and when this show started he was like 9 years old.

Hart Of Dixie – CW 9/8c – Season 1 finale. A huge storm is coming towards Bluebell and looks to ruin George and Lemon’s wedding day. Zoe seeking shelter from the storm gets stuck in a barn with Wade. Yes maybe these two will finally get together tonight. And we’ll have all of next season for more back and forth with them because CW renewed it for a second season. YAY!!!

Mike and Molly – CBS 9:30/8:30c – Season 2 finale. It’s Mike and Molly’s wedding day but of course it doesn’t go off without a hitch. Throw in your classic sitcom roadblocks on their way to the altar for a half hour of fun hijinks.

Hawaii Five-O – CBS 10/9c – Season 2 finale. The team goes on a manhunt when one of its own is killed; a team member must choose which one of their kidnapped loved ones will survive. This season has been a pretty good one. Last season’s finale was so good. Hopefully this one is just as good if not better.

Smash – NBC 10/9c – Season 1 finale. This is what it all comes down to. Who will be Marilyn; Karen or Ivy? I don’t even know who I want anymore but I feel that based on the soapy nature of this show that Karen is going to get it and then Ivy, in her pissed off state, is going to tell Karen that she and Dev slept together. Apparently Ellis’ true intentions are also going to be revealed on tonight’s finale. I don’t care as long as we get rid of him somehow. I don’t think I have ever hated a character more than him. It’s not even a oh I love to hate him thing like with Derek. Ellis is just a waste and he needs to go far far away.

Season Finales Sunday 5/13/12


Survivor: One World – CBS 8/7c – 2 hour season finale. The first ever all female final five battle for the Survivor crown. Someone breaks down and there are plenty of tears. A reunion follows the crowning of the winner.

Once Upon A Time – ABC 8/7c – Season 1 finale. Love this show. I need to catch up on a couple of episodes but great show. Emma and Regina have to work together to save Henry, Charming tries to escape to get to Snow White but she has already taken the poison apple from the queen.

Desperate Housewives – ABC 9/8c – 2 hour Series finale.  Eight seasons and countless deaths, divorces, affairs and secrets and the end has come for our ladies in Wisteria Lane. I watched maybe 3 out of 8 seasons of this show. It was good at one point and then just got ridiculous. It was a good run. Many shows are barely trying to survive a season let alone run for 8 years. On tonight’s finale, Trip pleads with Bree to tell him about the night of Alejandro’s murder; Gaby tries to find a way to save Bree; Susan tries to keep the sale of her house private until she can tell her friends; Katherine Mayfair (Dana Delany) returns with a job opportunity for Lynette; the women agree to take care of Mrs. McCluskey when they learn she wants to die at home; and Renee discovers that Ben has been thrown in jail.

American Dad – FOX 9:30/8:30c – Season 7 finale (How has this been on for that long?) Stan takes Steve to Mexico to help him grow up but when they are kidnapped by a drug cartel only Steve can free them.

Saturday Night Live Will Ferrell


Will Ferrell hosted last night’s SNL with musical guest Usher and it was pretty great. This was on of the funniest of the season, give or take a few sketches. The episode started off with some great Obama and Biden stuff with Ferrell reprising his classic George W. Bush impersonation. The episode also featured many guest stars (Ana Gasteyer, Liam Neeson, Will Forte). One of the best parts was when they rolled out the 100th digital short. It featured all the faves from past shorts like Shy Ronnie, Natalie Portman, Michael Bolton, etc. So funny. Check it out.

Season Finales: Friday 5/11/12


It’s the weekend. YAY!!!!! What are you doing tonight? How about checking out these season finales.

The Finder – FOX 8/7c – Season 1 finale This show is a goner. I don’t know anyone that watched this show. I like Michael Clark Duncan and I wanted this show to be good but it just isn’t. On tonight series finale, Walter’s dad is dying and his older brother asks him to visit. As his final wish, his father wants Walter to find their mother. Uncle Shardrick continues to force marriage on Timo and Willa.

Undercover Boss – CBS 8/7c – The CEO of MasTec, Jose Mas goes under cover at his infrastructure-construction company.

Fringe – FOX 9/8c – Yay this was renewed for a 5th and final season. The team has to figure out a way to stop a catastrophic event that would cause death and destruction. I wonder how they are gonna set it up for next season. Can’t wait its gonna be great.

CSI:NY – CBS 9/8c – Season/Series finale.  Ratings for this show have been going down and this may be the possible end if CBS decides to cut this loose. On tonight’s finale, Mac is shot and has to fight for his life while the team goes after the shooter.

Blue Bloods – CBS 10/9c – This season has been just off. It’s a good show but they just drop story lines for too long and then randomly pick them up. This season ends with Frank trying to stop a biological weapon from being spread in the city all while keeping it a secret from his family. With everything that is happening, Danny and Jamie’s conflict from earlier in the season comes to a head.

 

Season Finales Thursday 05/10/12


Finales Finales and more finales. Many of our favorites shows air their final episodes of the season tonight. What are you going to be watching?

The Big Bang Theory – CBS 8/7c – Season 5 finale. The gang rushes to put a wedding together when Howard and Bernadette decide they want to be married before he goes on his NASA launch. We also get to see Howard’s reaction to learning Leonard proposed to Penny.

The Vampire Diaries – CW 8/7c – Season 3 finale. Tonight a wonderful season of one of the best shows comes to an end. In this episode, Elena reminisces on simpler times when her parents were still alive. Elsewhere Stefan and Damon go on a mission and Caroline and Tyler have to make a decision that is life altering.

The Office – NBC 9/8c – Season 8 finale. This season has truly been the worst. I wish this finale was the series finale. There was maybe one episode where I laughed consistently throughout. James Spader’s character is out after this season and they want to do a Dwight spinoff. Why?? I hope NBC renews it for a 13 episode 9th and final season. On tonight’s finale, Andy returns to Dunder Mifflin as a janitor, with a secret plan to stage a coup.  Dwight goes to some crazier than usual lengths to steal a DNA sample from Angela’s baby in order to prove his paternity. 
The Secret Circle – CW 9/8c – Season 1 concludes with Jake, Melissa and Adam try to save Faye from the witch hunters; Cassie and Diana must use their dark magic to unleash the crystal skull; Dawn and Charles discover a new way to get their power back. I hope this show doesn’t get cancelled because it started really slow but got really good. I think it fits well with its sister show, The Vampire Diaries.
Parks and Recreation – NBC 9:30/8:30c – Season 4 finale. Everyone is waiting for the election results. Paul Rudd continues his guest role as Bobby Newport.
