The Office TVj Session is On Baby!!!

Well I made it to LA in one piece. I may have already had a few drinks poolside bit I’m all in for The Office TVj session tonight at 8:30pm EST. Sorry for the late reminder, but I hope you all can make it.

For those of you who stopped by last week, I hope you had fun. I’m going to see if I can try to get people to chat more to eachother and not as much repeating lines, etc….that might help slow things down a bit. And if things went a little too fast for you last week, make sure you give it another shot when Season 3 rolls around on Sept 21st. I have a feeling there will bemore watching and less chatting…until the commercials when I expect us to break everything down moment by moment.

See you for The Office TVj session at 8:30pm EST….I’ll probably open the session a bit earlier, so come on by.

GMMR Teams up with BuddyTV.com for “The Office” TVj

What: BuddyTV.com is a fantastic website that brings fans together to chat LIVE during your favorite show. Each week a TVj (an expert on your favorite shows) moderates an online chat where fans can ask questions and chit chat live before, during, and after the show.

When: The GMMR/”Office” TVj session will be held every Thursday starting tonight and throughout season 3. Since I’m on the East Coast, the chat will be held live at 8:30pm EST. BUT, but, but…I’d LOVE to do a live chat with my West Coast peeps if you are into it. So if you promise to show up, I will hold a TVj session for the West Coast (starting TONIGHT)…I just need to hear from you Left Coasters ASAP.

Why: Because it’s so much more fun to watch The Office with friends. I know how many of you already show up in the GMMR forums during the show, but just think…now it’s like we can watch the show together. You can ask questions and chat with each other while watching your favorite Dunder Mifflinites.

Step 5: The MOST important step. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE join the chat tonight. This is my very first chat and I SO need my GMMRers to show up and help me out. Seriously, please come!!!! I’m a little nervous no one will show up. What if I get there and there are 2 people that I don’t know and they HATE me (ha ha ha). I’m not kidding….I need my peeps.

DEBRIS: Scroobius Pip Previews Tension Between Anson and Craig

With DEBRIS’ Anson (Scroobius Pip) now in custody, things will get much more difficult for the mysterious figure—in part thanks to a promised interrogation from the CIA’s Craig Maddox (Norbert Leo Butz).

“Anson and Craig get to kind of have their [Al] Pacino-[Robert] DeNiro HEAT moment,” Pip told reporters in the video below. “It is a continuing mystery of what each of their motives are, so it’s kind of good to get them to have an episode where both of their motives are put forward.”

ARROW’s Felicity and Ray are heading over to THE FLASH in tonight’s new episode, and their timing is a bit awkward — Eddie just found out that Barry is the Flash — and has been asked to keep it quiet — which makes poor Iris as the only one still in the dark.

THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING Launches Online, Play Along

In two weeks, THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING will premiere on ABC Family, but the network is getting bloggers and fans involved in the drama ahead of time.

Last Tuesday, an online game titled “The Nine Paths to Chloe King” was launched, allowing viewers to dive into the mysterious world of an ancient race called “The Mai” — a race which the show’s lead character, 16-year-old Chloe King, is just learning that she’s a part of.

The Mai, both god and human, are said to be descendants of the Egyptian goddess, Bastet — a feline, p.s.

Yup.

Here’s the deal: Around Chloe’s 16th birthday, she’ll begin to notice that she possesses some new cat-like abilities. And shortly thereafter, she’ll realize she’s being pursued by a mysterious entity. Apparently, the Mai — despite having a symbiotic relationship with humans and having protected them throughout history — have been hunted by human assassins for over a thousand years… and Chloe could be their only chance for survival, their chosen one.

The online game — which you can begin playing here — revolves around a circle of strangers (you, me and whomever else is brave enough to get involved) that will help lead the Mai to Chloe King, their “Uniter.”

I started on the first couple paths this weekend and encourage you guys to jump in now! It’s actually quite fun, as the journey kicks off by revealing a box of strange clues that will lead participants down nine separate paths, visiting several different sites online where exclusive content and more clues are doled out. The first player to successfully navigate all nine paths, reaching Chloe safely will win a trip (for themselves and a friend) to visit the set of THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING. There are other cool prizes along the way as well. In fact, you can get your free “Nine Paths” ring right away by visiting abcfamily.com/ninepaths and typing in the special code word — “circle” — into the box on the right hand side of the page.

So, yes, go for it. I’ll be playing right along with you… I’m about to begin “The Third Path” so start now and catch up to me!

The series premiere of THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING debuts Tuesday, June 14 at 9 p.m. on ABC Family.

Here’s a quick preview…

CASTLE Season 3 Premiere: You Ask, I Answer

CASTLE fans were heartbroken last season when Beckett’s plans to confess her feelings for Castle were squashed by his announcement of his reconciliation with his ex-wife, Gina.

I hate when that happens.

After Castle’s summer away with Gina, he finally returns, but have Beckett’s warm and fuzzies faded? Is Castle welcomed back with open arms?

You’re going to have to wait until the season premiere on September 20th at 10pm on ABC, to get all the details, but I can offer you a few (not too spoilery) tidbits to tide you over until then.

Trying to Play Catch Up…

Remember back when summer was a time to take a break from TV?  Yeah, me neither.  I’ve got my summer reality TV babies like SYTYCD, Big Brother, Kathy Griffin, Swingtown, My Boys, Burn Notice and of course Wipeout among others taking up my time, but I’m trying to play a little TV catch up too.

Sadly I have fallen embarssingly far behind of Project SUPERNATURAL.  I’m not saying it’s not a great show, I’ve really loved what I’ve seen so far, but I haven’t his that place where I am in my ‘must watch or die’ mode.  I think I need a solid marathon to really get me in the midset.  But I watched an episode tonight and my goal is to get through at least 3 more this weekend.  That’s something, right? Better than nothing.

Oh and I’m also playing catch up on this little unknown show called MAD MEN.  I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about it.  I mean have the critics even heard of this one?  It’s pretty amazing, you should all check it out.  Ha..ok, ok, so I should have kept with MAD MEN all last season.  I’m a bad TV watcher, what can I say.  Isn’t the important part that I’m watching now?

And for those of you who I know are going to ask.  No, I haven’t been watching ANGEL or BONES this summer.  David B. is looking all kinds of good these days, so it’s nothing against him.  There are just so many hours in the day.

 Anyone else playing a little TV catch up this summer? It’s time to share! What are YOU watching this summer?

The ‘Adopt A Writer’ Project

GiveMeMyRemote.com is proud to be participating in the Adopt A Writer project – organized by entertainment bloggers in support of the WGA, in association with United Fandom and United Hollywood. Several independent TV blogs have signed on to participate and each will interview a TV writer about their life as a writer—and as a striking writer—with the goal of putting a fresh face on the WGA for our readers and showing the public that the average writer is much more like the average viewer than the AMPTP wants us to believe.

We are currently working with a number of different organizations on pairing bloggers with writers, so I’m not sure with whom I’ll be speaking, but no matter who it is I’m really interested in speaking to someone personally affected by the WGA strike.

In addition to the interviews being posted on each the participating blogs, a separate website has been set up to help support our efforts. So please take the time to visit Adopt A Writer and check back soon for more one-on-ones with striking writers.

Adopted Writers…

Jasmine Love
Interview by Spadada from Ramblings of a TV Whore
Jasmine Love has been in the Writers’ Guild for ten years. You don’t know her name or her face and she isn’t the money hungry already rich writer that the AMPTP wants to blame for this strike, but she is one of many people affected by it. (continue reading: Adopt a Writer – Jasmine Love)

Kate Purdy
Interview by Hilary from Pass the Remote
Kate Purdy didn’t always want to be a writer. “In elementary school I wanted to be a teacher. In junior high I wanted to be an astronaut. In high school I wanted to be [the] first lady president. It wasn’t until college that I realized I wanted to tell stories,” she explains. And telling stories is what she was doing for CBS’s top-20 hit Cold Case. That is, until this past November….
