Feeling Very Uninspired


The summer season has been in full swing and I have just been generally uninspired by anything that is on now. Not that it isn’t good but it just hasn’t been great. On top of that there haven’t been any new movies in the past 2 weeks for me.  I am also in the middle of packing and trying to get things finished at work before my move so it’s been a little crazy. I say all this to tell you that I’m sorry my brain is empty and that I have no posts 🙂

While summer is usually a wasteland of really bad reality television there are some good shows on now.To name a few there is the entire USA lineup [Necessary Roughness (Wednesdays 9/8c), Burn Notice (Thursday 9/8c), Covert Affairs (Tuesday 10/9c), White Collar (Tuesday 9/8c), Royal Pains (Wednesday 10/9c), Suits (Thursday 10/9c), Common Law (Friday 10/9c), Political Animals (Premieres July 15th @10/9c)], TNT’s lineup [Rizzoli & Isles (Tuesday 10/9c), Perception (Monday 10/9c), Franklin & Bash (Tuesday 9/8c), Dallas (Wednesday 10/9c), & Major Crimes (Premieres August 13th @ 10/9c)], Awkward (MTV,Thursday 10/9c), True Blood (HBO, Sunday 9/8c), and Newsroom(Sunday 10/9c). So those weren’t a few but you get my drift. Check out some of these shows and I hope you are enjoying the nice schizophrenic summer weather we are having. Also let me know if there is something that you want me to talk about and I will get on it stat.

GCB


GCB (Good Christian B****es) is a new spring show that premiered last Sunday on ABC. It stars Kristin Chenoweth, Leslie Bibb and Annie Potts. It’s set in a suburb of Dallas,TX. If you know Dallas, then it probably reminds you of the very gated community of Highland Park where President Bush lives. Two episodes in and I like it. It’s pretty funny (mainly because of Chenoweth) but it’s just ok. The cast makes me want to watch more. I liked Chenoweth since I watched on the highly underrated ABC show, Pushing Daisies. She knows how to bring the comedy. And Leslie Bibb who is the main star of the show isn’t the greatest actress but I watch her in everything she’s been in simply because I loved her on the old WB show, Popular (Another Ryan Murphy show. I was really sad when this got cancelled). Annie Potts is also one of the reasons I watch. She is in some of my favorite things from the 80’s (Pretty In Pink, Ghostbusters I and II, & Designing Women). The other thing that makes me like this show is how they make fun of hypocritical Christians. I think the show can only get better. If they take the good things from the show and keep it going then I don’t see why this show wouldn’t be on for at least 2 seasons. The ratings haven’t been that great though so don’t get too attached people.
