Daytime Suds Update

Got some quick soap news to report to you today before I forget. As always, I get all my soap news from Soapcentral.com but in the very rare case you haven't been there, I report it back here and give you links. Aren't I nice? :P ---Well, the scheduled return date for Kirsten Storms (Maxie, GH) was supposed to be next month, however it was just announced a couple of days ago that she will not be returning just yet and Jen Lilley, Storms' replacement, will be continuing in the role 'for...

Series or Season Premieres?

I'm still debating whether I should cover only season premieres, only series premieres, or a mix of both. Midseason and awards season are both in full swing, so there will be no shortage of television to cover; the list I'm compiling for this week's premieres alone is well in the double digits of shows premiering on various channels. By the way that is one of the upcoming changes. In the off-chance that someone besides me is actually reading this blog (lol) every week I will try to release...

Bitchy Review: Scorned: Love Kills

The series premiere of Scorned: Love Kills debuted on the ID (Investigation Discovery) channel tonight, right after Who The Bleep? Did I Marry and a few minutes into the show, I remember thinking that it it looked a bit like Oxygen's Snapped. I never did finish watching the debut episode because the story looked a little too familiar to me, and then it hit me--because I'd seen it already.....on Snapped. lol I'm going to try to pull up a link from the Shannons' episode, but yeah...this...

Daytime Suds: Four OLTL Actors IN at GH!

Well this is surprising. In an 11th hour turn of events, not only are four former OLTL actors making the jump to General Hospital, two of them were committed to the Prospect Park deal and jumped ship, BUT! they get to come over as their past Llanview characters! I am in FLOVE with this concept. I have to admit, I used to love back in the day when soaps would have a bit of fusion during Sweeps Week to shake things up a bit. I didn't like when Babe & Bianca did it on AMC, but that was...

Changes to Come!

At about this time last year--or was it 2010? I forget--I decided to change this blog to include tv reviews. In the course of that year, however, my interests have since changed dramatically, which in retrospect probably should have shut this site down completely--I stopped watching the original intention of this blog, soap operas, to name the main change. I was growing more and more unhappy with where soaps were going and after the announcement that 2 of them were up for cancellation...

Bitchy Review: Let's Stay Together

Let's Stay Together is another of the newest half-hour shows in the revamped BET programming schedule, and much like Reed Between the Lines, meh. I'm not feeling it too much. I was interested in some of the previews when I found out that Kyla Pratt was joining the show as a cousin of two of the main characters, but she didn't have much screen time so it felt like a blink-and-miss premiere to me. I joined the show at the premiere of the 2nd season so I don't really know what the 1st season...

Bitchy Review: Tyler Perry vs Spike Lee Debate

I felt the need to hop on this train just for a second about Tyler Perry. Over the past couple of years, he and Spike Lee have had quite the war of words over the sort of movies they put out. In short from what I understand, Spike Lee questions the quality of the movies that Tyler Perry makes. Speaking in revenue terms, the latter is a very successful actor and writer; his Madea movies have all been hits at the box office and were hits before when they were plays. However, Tyler Perry...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all of you; I hope you all enjoyed the '11 holiday season and are now enjoying that it has come to an end. lol I certainly am. I can't lie, I was quite the Grinch this past season and couldn't be happier that it's over; it was much more trouble than it ended up being worth so I am very pleased to get back to the normal swing & flow of things. As I'm sure you all know by now since I haven't updated you all in awhile (I swear I have about 8 blogs in draft now trying...
