The much anticipated second season of BFV premiered last month, and about halfway through the season, I can say that I definitely haven't been disappointed. One thing I like about this season is that we can still see the sisters dealing with the aftermath of last season; its consistent and unlike other reality shows, the editors know us viewers haven't forgotten last season and apparently neither has the family, so we get to see how they deal with each other now.
Things are a little frosty,...

Bitchy Review: Reed Between the Lines
So this new show Reed Between the Lines is one of the newest in BET's revamped programming lineup and it stars Tracee Ellis Ross & Malcolm-Jamal Warner as the Reeds, and after watching most of the 1st season I have to admit that I just can't get into it.
Black television viewing options as a whole have been relegated into stereotypes in this day and age, while others try and struggle--I believe this show being one of them--to bring back the classic theme that Black sitcoms focused...

In Tragedy & Triumph......AMC Series Finale
After 41 years of history, tears, laughter, birth, death, anger, happiness, marriage, divorce, thriving, failing and surviving, All My Children finally came to a close today. It was great to see most of the characters I love back on the canvas one last time, sharing in all of the happiness and good news. Stuart's alive, Frankie found out he and Randi may be gaining a new addition to their family, Brot & Natalia announced their engagement, Angie's sight was restored, Joe & Ruth...

Saturday Morning Reviews---Game Day Weekend
I'm really excited for this morning's shows. I love game days and especially since my Packers are actually in the bowl this year, which I am absolutely THRILLED about, I can't wait to see what's going to be on the menus this morning. So I checked the guide and its not really an all-morning thing like they used to do with most of the shows being a new variation on the day's theme; there are a few episodes focusing on game day but there are also a few of the shows that don't. I guess I can...

Bitchy Review: Tatum and Ryan: The O'Neals
So I just found this show on the OWN Network last Sunday and it hasn't been so bad. The general idea behind the show is that Ryan O'Neal and his daughter, Tatum, are trying to reconnect with each other after decades of not speaking. Tatum is carrying old hurts with her from her childhood that her father put on her, including various forms of abuse and the affair (?) he had with Farrah Fawcett, in which she felt as though she was left behind and forgotten about. I gotta say, Tatum's had...

Bitchy Review: Braxton Family Values
This new reality show on We just aired its second episode yesterday and it is centered on the lives of the Braxton sisters, their individual journeys as well as the one they take as a family. Unquestionably the most recognizable of the family is Toni, whose recent financial struggles and divorce have landed her in the news; this show is documenting as she reinvents herself and starts a new chapter in her career. Her four sisters, three of whom are her backup sisters, also have their place...

Well, it's happened.
The death of soap operas has finally hit ABC, where yesterday it was announced in a shock move that both AMC and OLTL have been cancelled. It surprised me, especially considering that AMC just finished reassuring its viewers that the show wasn't going anywhere, but let's be honest. We all knew this was inevitable; although I do wish it wasn't done at the same time. So when February of 2012 hits, we (provided there are no more cancellations) will be down to four soaps. Y&R and B&B...

Some Sunday Morning Reviews
5am started for me with What Would Brian Boitano Make? featuring a menu focused on sausage for some Secret Society Scooter members (lol!so friggin random), so each major component features sausage. I will refrain from tasteless or tongue-in-cheek jokes at this time. I gotta say, I kinda like this show and the food Brian makes looks pretty darn good. Definitely not too complicated as I can't see him slaving for hours over a dish, but simple and not fussy. Just the way I like it. lol Also,...
All these outs are slightly depressing....
The last blog made me think. Three outs were reported in about 2 days this past week. How many other outs have there been just in recent months, say like since Fall Sweeps or so? It made me think because I remember seeing on almost every soap, even the ones I don't watch, there have been at least 2. So I decided to go back to the source and break them down. All information in this blog and many others is from http://www.soapcentral.com/. It is unclear on many whether or not there...
Surprising Outs!
ABC came out with some serious ousters this week, on all three soaps; it couldn't go without reporting.
GH reported earlier this week that 13-year veteran Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth) was being cut from the show in a story-dictated exit. Are they serious? This woman has dedicated 13 years of her life to your show, probably rejected offers to try for other shows or primetime, not to mention hasn't even been back from maternity leave for a year and you're cutting her out?? Due to story??...

Saturday Morning Lineup--Food Network
Alright, as mentioned last night, I'm going to be reviewing the new episodes in Food Network's lineup this morning. The reviews kick off with a new episode of 30 Minute Meals.
30 Minute Meals--Penny Saving Picnic
Rachael's making an indoor Italian picnic to save money; today's menu is san marzano gazpacho, chicken thighs with onions, fennel & roasted peppers, and corn bread crostini.
When I first fell in love with food in 2006, 30 Minute Meals was the first show I saw and I fell...
New Year, New Stuff!
Well as I mentioned in my last blog post from last year (btw Happy New Year!), this blog would be making some changes as my television preferences have shifted from being primarily soap opera oriented. I still kept Daytime Suds in the title as I do hope and intend one day to eventually move this back to being its own site and restart the tv review site on another blog, but until then since I only watch one soap I decided to combine it. Everything with the soaps will stay the same, LOD,...
