My favoritist, bestest and most amazingest show of the year is coming back to TV on Saturday Night and I’m so freaking excited!
>
Okay, so I tried to save Pushing Daisies. I tried so very hard. But no one would listen to me and ABC pulled the show before airing the show’s final three episodes. This action left loyal viewers like me, sadder than the opening act for the Jonas Brothers.
But luckily we live in an age of TV shows on DVD and today Warner Brothers announced that they would finally be releasing the series, with the final three episodes, on DVD in July on July 21st.
What a great week for television!
Oh wait, never mind, I Get That a Lot premieres tonight.

So far my life has been pretty recession proof, I’ve always been too immature to own property, I have no idea what an economic portfolio even means and all my money is tied up in Buffy and Veronica Mars DVDs. Hell I still giggle every time I hear the words “stimulus package”.
Not that I don’t empathize with all the people being laid off, but so far, I have been lucky. I mean sure it hurt that Pushing Daisies was cancelled but I’m just choosing to move past it and not dwell.
But on Friday it was announced that Canwest was putting E! Canada up for sale and that if they didn’t sell it in the next two months, the fairly new network would cease to exist. The network is blaming poor ad sales, which in turn can be blamed on the shittier than a B4-4 reunion tour economy.
For the most part E! plays some pretty crappy shows but what makes me really scared is the thought of losing The Soup. I freaking love the Soup probably more than half of my Itunes library. It’s a great recap to the week and I look forward to watching it every sunday morning in my pyjamas whilst eating Fruit Loops. The Soup makes me say words like whilst.
The only show I might love more than the Soup is E!’s Chelsea Lately, which features the foul mouthed Chelsea Handler lampooning celebrities to their faces and they love her for it.
So please, if you have several millions of dollars and you don’t want to give it to me, that’s fine, but please save The Soup and Chelsea Lately. You can get rid of the vomit inducing The Dish, but please save The Soup and Chelsea!
Or Africa. Whatever.
>We are sooooooooooo close to the Arrested Development movie becoming a reality.
There is only one cast memeber who hasn’t sign on yet. Guesses?
Yup, it’s Canadian Michael Cera.
Now conspirators are probably thinking that he is being greedy and waiting for more money or thinks he is beyond the show that launched him into fame. But Cera definitely has the busiest schedule of any of the Bluthes, so I’m guessing they are just sorting it all out.
Yes, I’m being optimistic. After the loss of Pushing Daisies I have very little to live for.
Arrested Development needs it’s George Michael.
Sign that contract Cera.
Do it for me.

There is not denying that the TV Season is still suffering from the writers strike earlier this year. Many of our favorites haven’t been able to find their footing and many sophmore shows have suffered (Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone, Private Practice) because nobody remembered to watch them again.
Well ladies and gentlemen, it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
The Screen Actors Guild announced today that is going to mail out strike referendum ballots on Jan. 2, with the results due three weeks later.
First it was the writers and now it might be the actors
.
It was bad enough that during the last strike I was forced to endure One Tree Hill our of sheer boredom, I don’t know what I’m going to go if there no more new movies and shows.
I guess at a time like this you can only ask one question:
“What would Chad Michael Murray do?”
And no, the answer isn’t: “a 14 year-old.”

So the United States finally fixes their government and what does Canadian’s government decide to do? Well pretty much put itself in the pooper. The talk of a coalition government is ALL that anyone is talking about and now quite frankly I’m sick of it. Especially when there is so much worse going on in the world.
Things worse than a coalition government:
1. According to Jim premiered on Tuesday for it’s 8th season. Arrested Development lasted three.
2. Pushing Daisies has been canceled for two weeks and this is the first time I am able to truly talk about it. This was the best show on television and it literally hurts in places I didn’t know I had feelings.
3. I can’t believe Kristen Stewart (Bella from Twilight) is now a movie star. She has the personality of my rusted bedpost.
4. Metallica was in Calgary tonight and booked 50 rooms at the Sheraton. How many whores does one band need?
5. When Celebrity Apprentice returns in the new year, all of it’s episodes will be 2-hours long. Sweet Tv-god i wish this was a joke. Find me two people who watch this show. Seriously, this is just ridiculous.
All this stuff on parliament hill doesn’t seem so bad now does it?
You’re welcome.
>The following is an email actually sent to Gossip Gangster Perez Hilton
Dear Perez,
So I just got back from the Lady Gaga concert in Calgary, Alberta and I thought you should know a little something about one of your new BFFs.
The doors were supposed to open at 8:00pm, which they did. But you don’t have to be Paris Hilton’s BFF to know not to go that early in the evening. The only people that would perform that early would be….well no one. Not even my relatives get drunk that early. And they have been drunk since yesterday.
Anyway, my friends and I showed up around 11:00pm (on a school/work night) and waited. Of course, by waited I mean got pushed and shoved like it was a premiere for Twilight or something. I swear 75% of the audience was made of Degrassi extras rejects who probably barely got through security. My friends and I did some shots, waited, chatted with some people who had been standing in front of the stage for four hours, did some more shots, waited, did some more chatting, danced to Britney and kept waiting. Finally it was about 12:15am and she still hadn’t shown up on stage.
What was frustrating about the whole thing was that we aren’t talking about Elton John here Perez (who started on time both times I saw him). We are talking about Lady Gaga, who has only had one hit. Oh and for the record, her one hit “Just Dance” never got higher than 16 on the Billboard 100 chart and her second single PEAKED at 125. Wow. Even more embarrassing, her album also peaked at a lonely 17th position on the albums chart. Statistically speaking, Lady Gaga is a one hit wonder, which makes waiting that long to see her similar to waiting for Donna Lewis, Tina Arena or OMC.
Look Perez, I know she is probably an amazing performer. But Calgary, Alberta ain’t Vegas. We are a city full of workers and students and it was a WEDNESDAY night, what the hell was she doing on the bus in front of Tequila for so long? Couldn’t she TIVO Pushing Daisies like the rest of us? The people in front of us said they listened to Lady Gaga every morning and they ended up leaving before we did. They even said that they were never going to listen to her again because they were so disappointed.
The whole evening was made worse by the fact that when my friends and I decided to leave, we saw Lady Gaga leaving her bus to enter the club around 12:30pm. Those outside, who had not yet hit puberty, screamed with excitement and she didn’t even raise her head to say hello. Excuse me Lady Gaga, when did you become such hot shit? Calgary is a freaking cold place and those people waited HOURS to see you sing one damn song and you couldn’t even fake a smile. It’s so funny Perez that you call Christina Aguilera a Gaga-copycat, but you know what the main difference between them is? X-tina started on time and loved every second with her fans. Lady Gaga? Well I don’t know, we left before she got on stage to sing her one song. I’m guessing we didn’t miss much.
Next time you see her, tell her that what she did in Calgary was defnitely not cool. Even less cool then the fact that she got third billing next to the New Kids on The Block and Natasha Bedingfield at the Saddledome earlier that night.
All the best,
Despite everything, a big THANK YOU to Lisa from Tequila Nightclub!!!! She has always been awesome to Mike’s Bloggity Blog and me and my friends always have a blast at Tequila, even if Lady Gaga sucked it hard!!!!!
>Seriously what is wrong with people?
Does anyone else think that it is so weird that there are enough sick minded writers out there that are “imaginative” to come up with so many ways to kill people on 3 CSIs, 3 Law & Orders, The Closer, The Ghost Whisperer, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Pushing Daisies and the scariest of all Criminal Minds?
Didn’t we all get our fill with Goosebumps books?
Seriously, the Haunted Mask screwed me up through all of grade 9.
Anyway, I got to thinking about this after watching the trailer for a new movie called The Unborn. I have to say that it is without a doubt the scariest trailer I’ve ever seen. I can’t even imagine what the actual movie is going to be like. Luckily, it falls into my “movies about ghosts” category for movies I won’t see, so I’ll just have to read about it on Movie Pooper.
Now, you try to watch this trailer.
Good Luck.
Excuse me as I go watch According to Jim….
Just joking, I would rather be on a victim on Criminal Minds than watch that crap!

Don’t worry if you’ve never seen the first season, the first episode is going to catch you up. This is an amazing, funny, original show and I’m so happy that it is back to brighten up my life!

The summer is in full swing. The weather is beautiful, gas prices continue to spike, my legs look like a checkerboard of mosquito bites, my slight tan actually makes me look relatively healthy and I spend more hours on my patio more than any other room in my apartment.
But I still miss TV.
Actually, more specifically I miss Pushing Daisies. You probably don’t remember this show because it finished it’s new episodes back in November and hasn’t been back since the writers strike.
Thankfully this amazing show was picked up for a second season and it’s only a matter of months until my favorite new show comes back to make me smile in a way that only the Arrested Development theme song song.
I usually get sucked into Summer TV but this year has been different since there hasn’t been anything that has been that much of a draw. Sure I still like the mole, although all the “you’re the mole, no you are the mole, no I’m the mole, are you?” can get a little exhausting.
I’m also really liking ABC’s two shows Wipeout and I Survived a Japanese Game Show purely because they are just so ridiculous to watch. They remind of the good ol’ game shows without the back stabbing and lying that we have all grown to love/loathe on shows like Survivor and Big Brother (which comes back July 13th…regrettably.)
I also love that I say I don’t watch a lot of TV and then present a list of shows I’m watching this summer. Which begs the question: How much TV is normal? Actually, on second thought, don’t answer thought.
