Project Supernatural Update – Season 1, Half Way Point
June 17, 2009 by Kath Skerry

After Twittering about it last night, I got quite a few emails and Tweets asking me how PROJECT SUPERNATURAL is coming along. I thought it might be best to send out the occasional update on how my quest to watch all of SUPERNATURAL before the September season premiere is going.
Well, what I can tell you is this – SUPERNATURAL is stressing me out. I don’t do well with all the ghosts and spirits and what not. I mean, at least on BUFFY the demons could sing and dance. I’m watching half these episodes with the volume down and/or my hands over my eyes. I can deal with the blood and gore of it all, that’s not a problem, but the spirits that jump out at Sam and Dean on a regular basis? Oy vey.
I’m 11 episodes into the first season with 11 more to go. Over the past two days I’ve watched the following episodes:
- “Bugs” – Someone once told me that if I needed to speed things along I could skip most of the first season. I don’t want to do that, but I did keep that in mind as I fast forward through most of this episode. Sorry, but the two biggest things that freak me out are ghosts and bugs. I just couldn’t do it.
- “Home” – Great episode. The kid ending up in the refrigerator freaked me the frak out! And what’s with the woman continuing to sleep in the house despite all the creepiness? Even when the demons were released (or supposedly released), she just sauntered off to bed without a care in the world. What?! I’d be grabbing those kids and running for the hills.Loretta Devine as Missouri Mosely was fantastic. I hope we see more of her in the future (wait – don’t tell me). I wasn’t expecting to see Papa Winchester this early into S1. That was a fun surprise.
- “Asylum” – Talk about romantic. Going into an abandoned asylum at night. Swoon. Idiots! Lots of hiding behind my hands on this one. So much jumping out…why do spirits always go for the element of surprise? It’s not good for my old ticker. Poor Sam got possessed. Something tells me this won’t be the first time.
- “Scarecrow” – Now this is an episode I can take. Freaky but not too scary. I thought the premise about the scarecrow god (or whatever he was) was interesting. But so glad when the aunt and uncle took the hook. I was expecting Dean to hook up (no pun intended) with the girl he was locked up with. I know these boys are focused on their work, but they’re just too pretty not to be wooing the ladies more.
So far so good. If I could just watch Sam and Dean bantering I think I’d be better off – a lot less scary. I can’t say I’m at the point where I’m enjoying what I’m watching yet, but I’m sure there will be a point soon where I build up my tolerance to ghosts and other non-pleasant things jumping out of the shadows.
The writing is terrific and the backstory is intriguing. I can already see why it’s a fan favorite. Now if I can just stop being a baby.
And I have to ask…Sam and Dean are traveling the country chasing demons. How are they making any money?!
GOSSIP GIRL & ONE TREE HILL Pull a Switcharoo

Filed under TV News
GOSSIP GIRL and ONE TREE HILL are rumored to be swapping out time slots when the shows return to The CW in the Fall. According to Variety, ONE TREE HILL will take over for GOSSIP GIRL’s at 8pm, while the kids of the Upper East Side will be seen at 9pm.
I don’t know about you, but this is fantastic news for me. The Monday at 8pm schedule is overrun with great shows and as a result I sometimes am forced to miss out on some of my favorites. Pushing GOSSIP GIRL back to 9pm makes my night just a little bit better.
Does this switch help or hurt your Monday night Fall lineup?

In the words of the GaGa, “just dance”! Happy SYTYCD performance night! It’s been a long couple of days for me and I can’t think of anything that I’d rather do tonight than chillax (he – I hate that word) and watch these kids dance.
As soon as I’m done with the dancing, I’m moving on to the singing. Some of my favorite Broadway stars are performing a revival of the musical “Chess” tonight on Great Performances. I hadn’t heard anything about this and it’s so excited. Can’t wait to check it out!
But if singing and dancing isn’t your thing, perhaps wiping out is. Or maybe being on a Japanese game show. Play around with that remote and I’m sure you’ll land on something. Here’s a few shows you just might stumble upon.
Here are a few highlights from tonight’s TV lineup. If I missed anything leave me a comment or tweet me at twitter.com/gmmr.

I Survived a Japanese Game Show | 9pm on ABC
In the second-season premiere of the reality contest, the 12 contestants are divided into two teams and move into their not-so-plush Tokyo digs. Then it’s on to the set, where the games begin. They don Velcro rabbit suits for one (involving boxes, a narrow beam and Velcro balls shot from a cannon) and spider suits for another. [GMMR: I love WIPEOUT, but for some reason this show really irks me. I know some people love it though. If you are one of those people…enjoy!]

THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY Season Finale
June 17, 2009 by Amy
Filed under #1 featured, Posts by Amy, The Real Housewives of New Jersey
Tonight’s explosive and drama-filled finale kicks off with a tour of the Teresa’s new palace. There is a wine making room with a certain odor. Dead bodies, perhaps? I was hoping they would give an estimate as to how much that house costs. Because I definitely think people were harmed or killed to obtain money for that mansion. After the tour, Teresa mentions to Dina that she is planning a dinner party. She extends an invite to Danielle as well. Her reasoning: “Do I want to be friends with her? No, but I’m not a rude person.”
Jacqueline’s parents roll into town from Vegas in a massive RV. They seem pretty grounded and offer J some advice on how to deal with Ashley. In the end J and her husband cave, and present Ashley with a brand new car. First thing she wants to do? Drive it, right? Nope, go update her Facebook status that she got a new car.
Dina & Lexi say goodbye to Lexi’s childhood by throwing out approximately 200 stuffed animals and a drawer full of last season’s Halloween candy. And Dina says goodbye to her career so she can retire and become “just a housewife.” Judging from the classy t-word she uses instead of bubbies in front of Lexi, it’s looking like a promising lifestyle change!
And finally the dinner party. All families are present except for Dina & Caroline’s husbands.
Pre-dinner conversation revolves around Teresa’s new bubbies. Danielle arrives after everyone is sitting down. Neither team gives each other the warmest of receptions. But the dinner still seems to start off pretty safe. Appetizers are raw oysters accompanied by the standard raw oyster jokes.
Then Danielle throws down the gauntlet. She places a copy of “Cop Without a Badge” on the table, strategically “pointed at a 45 degree angle at Dina.” She is there with a clear mission: defend what is true in the book and accuse Dina of showing the book to other Franklin Lakes residents.
The ladies pull it together to kick the kids out and then the battle resumes.
Caroline, taking a cue from her German Shepherd guard dog steps in and fesses up that she was the one who showed the book in the local hair salon. Danielle (and me) still thinks it was Dina. Jacqueline admits that it was Dina who showed the book.
And in the middle of all the chaos it happens. The REAL Jersey girl steps up. Dina pushes Teresa a little too much, and Teresa turns into a possessed woman. She curses, yells and flips the table. Joe has to remove her from the situation and restrain her.
In the end, Jacqueline’s husband Chris shuts them all up and points out the ridiculous of it all. No wonder he hasn’t been allowed to say much else this season. He’s logical and sensible. No room for that in this series.
Here are the quick updates Bravo provides at the end. This is what the woman have been up to since taping has ended.
- Dina – housewife
- Danielle – looking for a soul mate
- Teresa – prego
- Jacqueline – prego
- Caroline – nothing (just like the rest of the season)
I’d be surprised if Bravo goes back for more New Jersey. They were able to make their point in one season.

GREEK Season Finale: At World’s End
June 16, 2009 by Kath Skerry
Filed under #1 featured, Greek, TV News
(Grab a few beers from the Kappa Tau fridge because you’re in for a wildly self indulgent look at last night’s season finale of GREEK.)
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and despite what REM might have you believe, all is not just fine. In fact, the end of the world has brought doom and gloom for some of our Cypress Rhodes Greek brothers and sisters. The Armageddon known as GREEK Season 2 culminates with some of our college buds putting love on the line, others their academic standing…and perhaps a purity ring of two will be lost in all the shenanigans. We learn that the founding mistresses of The WB aren’t revered for their decision making skills, and Clay Aiken isn’t all that dangerous (in case you were worried).
GREEK ended its season tonight, but kept us sitting right on the edge of the roof – just where they wanted us.
Buddah once said, “There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it.” But I have to wonder if Buddah ever went to a frat party at CR? It’s not so easy to distinguish between this so called “good” and “evil”. Or if it is, maybe we just want to ignore it.
Rusty & Dale Against the World…or at least against sex
Such was the case tonight with Calvin and Dale and their need to suppress their wanton desires. Not with each other – despite appearances. Calvin and Dale used the power of the purity pledge as a way to keep themselves strong when it came to physical interactions with Graham and Sheila, respectively. Dale’s cougar, Sheila, is getting all kinds of frisky. As Dale says, she’s “the energizer seduction bunny”. She has no regard for purity rings or hearing “no” (even if he says it like he means it). She wants her man and she wants him now.
Calvin also knows a little something about what Sheila’s dealing with, but in his case, it’s his Omega Chi brother and roommate, Graham. The only two out gay men in the fraternity both want to be a little more than bunk buddies, but neither are willing to admit it. Calvin goes as far as avoiding Graham in hopes that nothing will happen to destroy their brotherhood.
But in a moment when Calvin seems to be giving into his weaknesses, it’s Dale that goes beyond his own comfort zone to offer his friend a hand. Of course this help involved Dale telling Graham that he and Calvin were dating. Hilarious!
I probably watched the Graham/Calvin/Dale dorm room scene about ten times. Clark Duke just nails the timing. So funny!
Dale: But baby, won’t we be late for Showgirls? I know how much you hate being late.
Graham: Are you guys….?
Dale: “Yeah. I mean Cal’s a little shy but we’re in love…we’re gay together.”
Calvin is not so convincing when he later tries the same tactic to get Sheila (literally) off Dale.
Calvin: “Sheila stop. Dale is my boyfriend.”
But hey, it’s the end of the world, and neither of these guys are willing to let their chance for love pass them by. Calvin and Graham get their smooch on while Dale and Sheila are taking full advantage of the KT couch (ew). Do you think Dale lost that purity ring for good? I hope not. Stay strong, Dale!

Tonight is all about the drama. And Laverne & Shirley. But mostly about the drama. TNT has two big premieres tonight – the series premiere of HAWTHORNE and the season premiere of SAVING GRACE. But it’s the drama in Franklin Lakes that I’m excited about. THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY are going to bring some good, clean fun tonight.

Meanwhile, Hawthorne helps a homeless woman and her ill infant. [GMMR: Welcome back to my living room Michael Vartan. The pilot didn’t do much for me, but for Vartan I’m going to give the show another shot. I mean Agent Vaughn in scrubs? Yes please.

Neil Patrick Harris & Barney Stinson – Why We Love ThisThese Guys!
June 15, 2009 by Alix
Filed under #1 featured, Dr. Horrible, How I Met Your Mother, Neil Patrick Harris, Posts by Alix, TV News
In honor of Neil Patrick Harris’ birthday, it’s only fitting that Alix, the newest member of Team GMMR, pay homage to one of our favorite TV actor’s and one of his most legen…(nah there’s plenty of that coming) characters to date.
I think you all now my love for all things NPH. I think he’s the bees knees. So Happy 36th Birthday, Neil. One day. It will happen. Yes, we will meet. (And when we do I hope I don’t sound as creepy as I did just then.)
So please join me in welcoming Alix to the team. Anyone that loves NPH as much as we do is certainly a welcome addition.
-Kath
——–
I know I am preaching to the choir here, but I am one of the many on the Neil Patrick Harris bandwagon (or NPH as he is so fondly called). I had the opportunity to work on the red carpet for the Tony Awards, and everyone went nuts when he arrived. One cheer in particular of “Neil, we think you are legendary” made me laugh. Avid HIMYM fans would know the saying goes a little diff—wait for it—erently, but it was amusing nonetheless.
Most of us first remember Neil from his younger years. His role as Doogie Howser, MD. made him a star at an early age, but luckily he didn’t follow the unfortunate path of many child actors. Although Neil was active in the theater for many years, he reemerged into the mainstream playing (ironically enough), himself in “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle”. From that time on we’ve had Neil Patrick Harris back…and in a big way.
From womanizer Barney Stinson in “How I Met Your Mother” to the wannabe evil Dr. Horrible in “Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog”, to his much lauded hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live”, and most recently as host of The Tonys, Neil Patrick Harris is everywhere. He is the man. And it’s about time.
And let’s talk about his recent hosting stint on the Tony Awards. Bravo! Neil humbly admitted at the beginning of the show that the Tony Awards were so meaningful to him as a kid growing up because it gave him the exposure to Broadway he would have never had coming from a small town. Neil is a theater guy, but one that seamlessly moves from stage, to screen, to television flawlessly. And that voice?! Wow.
I will admit, I didn’t start watching HIMYM when it first aired, but I am all caught up now. And I think that NPH is absolutely brilliant. (I also think the rest of the ensemble cast is pretty great too, but I digress). His portrayal of the suited up, awesome womanizer Barney Stinson never fails to make me laugh. But it’s more than that. He is able to make Barney feel human, like a best friend you really care about, despite his sometimes despicable behavior. His recent storyline in which Barney falls in love with Robin, could be implausible and damaging to the character but instead Neil plays him with grace, and their maybe-to-be relationship plays off as nothing but sweet (and hilarious).
So in honor of NPH’s birthday, I will leave you with my top 10 favorite Barney moments. (Please feel free to add in your own in the comments because it’s almost sinful to nail it down to ten.)
10. Hot/Crazy Graph

TRUE BLOOD: Nothing But the Blood
June 15, 2009 by Kath Skerry
Filed under #1 featured, True Blood, TV News
This past Saturday night I finished watching Season 1 of TRUE BLOOD. Upon commencement I sent out a Twitter update that said “Finally finished S1 of TRUE BLOOD. I’ll be watching S2 although I’m not hooked like others are.” And that’s true. TRUE BLOOD has a very passionate fanbase, and I’m not yet the die hard that many are, but was I lying to myself? If I’m not “hooked”, then why was I excited all day yesterday in anticipation of last night’s premiere? Why was I scouring the web reading back stories, behind the scenes info and basically anything I could get my hands on about the series? Perhaps I’m a little more “hooked” than I cared to admit.
Oh, and the second half of the aforementioned Twitter update, it said: “I just find Sookie so very irritating.” – that part I’m still holding on to. But more on that in a bit.
As does every new episode of TRUE BLOOD, last night’s episode picked up at the moment the previous episode ended. Sookie and Tara were still screaming bloody murder – literally. They saw the black leg with the pretty polished toes hanging out of Andy’s car, and they knew what they were going to find inside wasn’t going to be good. Cue to me sitting at home on my couch rocking back and forth saying over and over again, “Don’t be Lafayette. Don’t be Lafayette.” (Good thing I’m not hooked on this show) To the delight of many, the dearly departed inside the car wasn’t Lafayette but rather Miss Jeanette, Bon Temps own Voodoo mistress pharmacy clerk. Whew!
Whomever or whatever killed Miss Jeanette really wanted to see this woman suffer. Her heart had been cut right out of her chest.
