SUNDAY: There’s something going on this weekend that a few people might want to watch. Let’s see if I can remember what it is… I know it involves a sport of some kind. Ah, yes … the Super Bowl. Maybe you’ve heard of it? The New England Patriots face off against the New York Giants at 3 p.m. Sunday on NBC. If you’re not sick of singing competitions yet, the season premiere of “The Voice” immediately follows the big game.… Read More »
The Screen Actors Guild announced their nominations, including for TV. Among them: Drama ensemble: HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and “Boardwalk Empire,” AMC’s “Breaking Bad,” CBS’ “The Good Wife” and Showtime’s “Dexter.” Comedy ensemble: “Modern Family,” “The Office,” “30 Rock,” “The Big Bang Theory” and “Glee.” If I were to pick a favorite from this group, I’d have to go with “Modern Family,” but all of but one of these shows is in my DVR list. (Sorry, “30 Rock.” When I’ve… Read More »
TV and food…two things I love. So naturally, I sometimes think in ways that combine the two. Here’s a sampling of what’s on my TV menu these days. Appetizers: These shows aren’t the main course, but rather something you can watch when you don’t want something too heavy. Maybe you want to pass the time before the kids go to sleep, or while the pasta for dinner is boiling, or between errands while pairing up the socks in the laundry… Read More »
OMG! Must See The X Factor: New Simon Cowell show continues tonight with hopefully even more great talent. Last week, in amongst the worst singers and dancers to ever grace a stage, there were some absolutely amazing singers varying in age from 13 to 50. This show is worth your time, but do yourself a favor and record it so you can zip through the painful singers and some of the annoying commercials. Modern Family: It’s hard to watch this… Read More »
OMG! Must See Hopefully you have all of your chores finished because tonight is a great TV night. The X Factor: Season Premiere tonight on FOX. I missed Simon Cowell’s hard hitting wit during last season’s American Idol. Without him, the AI judges were too soft, too complimentary, and far too dishonest. In tonight’s X Factor, I want to see great (or not so great) talent paired with an abundance of insightful and honest feedback. What exactly is The X… Read More »

Thank you Oprah, for sharing inspirational stories that remind us to build lists of gratitude each day. Thank you for being honest and humble about your struggles with eating.

OMG! Must See Survivor: Don’t miss the Redemption Island battle that’s on for tonight: the athlete faces the not-so-athlete. Also, watch Philip attempt to reconcile his insanity with his desire to be the last man standing. I wish I could watch a few episodes with a psychiatrist sitting nearby to hear if he or she would have any diagnosis for Philip, or really, any of the remaining survivors–or even for myself for that matter! Boston Rob continues to dominate his own alliance, but I have… Read More »
