The Veronica Mars Movie campaign is at the halfway point and
they are double their goal. The
Kickstarter Project just went past the $4 million mark and still has 15 days to
go. Plans are already starting to
land in place on the movie. As I
have said previously, the project is of course happening. $2 million was the go time money
amount. Now, the movie can just
get bigger and better from here.
The goodies for backing the project are really good and the highest
dollar ones are amazingly gone.
Just unreal. So, just what
was the reaction by Rob Thomas, Kristen Bell, and others as the Kickstarter
project took off? Well, it was
just like the rest of us. I sat
and just watched Twitter all day along with the project page and was just in
awe. If you want to see the clip
of their reactions and comments to all the great fans of this great show, here
you go.
Speaking of Kristen Bell, a big congrats to her and Dax Shepard
on becoming parents.
So, the late night TV buzz? Oh goodness.
Not this again. Didn’t we
do this before already? The rumor
is that Leno will be leaving the Tonight Show. The show will move back to New York and then Jimmy Fallon
will take it over. I really think
NBC is feeling pressure about the worry that Fallon might get away when his
contract is up. This is just like
years ago when they didn’t want Conan to get away. We see how that ended up sadly. A big mess. I’m
really concerned that we are heading for the same thing again. I just hope Fallon doesn’t get caught
in the mix of it. He is a good guy
and I enjoy his show a lot. His
celebrity games are such a great and unique mix to his show. You get to see the celebrities out of
their normal element and show more of their personalities instead of them being
in promotion mode. His show is a
lot of fun. All I could think was,
oh no, not this again.
I have become a big Big Brother Canada fan. The show is really good. So much better than last season’s U.S.
version. It is produced by the
same company behind the U.S. version.
My obvious question is how can this be? LOL. The house
is much more entertaining. There
was hardly anything going on in the Big Brother house last summer during down
time. It was almost like the
producers were bored too. Once we
lost Britney, the show went dull fast.
Dan’s antics kept us entertained cause we couldn’t’ believe what was
happening but that house just was not fun like in years past. On the Canada TV show anyway, they
always have something going on for extra footage for the show including the
strangely entertaining talking moose.
LOL. I have yet to see the
latest episode but I am absolutely loving it. Please Big Brother, take some of these things you are doing
in Canada and use them for the U.S. version this summer.
Season Eleven is still continuing in comic form for
Smallville. TV Guide had a big
story posted this week about what is to come and that is the return of Lana
Lang. She will be a part of a new
arc in the series. The first issue
of which will be available digitally on Friday, April 5. You can learn more at
this link.

Carrie Underwood’s new single is set to debut. “See You Again” will be the latest
single released off of her latest album “Blown Away”. I am so excited to have this song as the latest
release. It is so good. When I first picked up the album last year,
the song immediately grabbed me. I
have to wonder if the response to the song from the AXS televised concert had
anything to do with it. “See You
Again” had just been added to the lineup on the second leg of the Blown Away
tour. So, when we heard it live
that night, it stirred quite a buzz among Carrie fans including seeing the
title of the song trending on Twitter.
Not long after, the song was announced as the new single. It should be going to radio very soon
and she will be debuting the song on the April 4 episode of American Idol.
I am so thrilled to see the big ratings of The Big Bang
Theory. The syndication has been a
huge deal for that show. The
reruns on TBS have fueled the audience of that show. I have seen all of the episodes but still find myself tuning
in and watching the reruns.
Laughing at the same jokes.
Looking forward to excitement when those big happenings and jokes are
ready to happen. There are some
shows that are fun to watch over and over and this show is one of them. Many fans have been hooked lately
through the reruns and are now tuning in to CBS for new episodes. This is a show thankfully that I have
watched and enjoyed since the pilot premiered back several years ago. The story had a great hook to it and a
great group of characters. The
show has grown and grown and is a huge hit. So happy at its success.
Here is something that I didn’t expect to say. I watched MTV over the weekend. Wow! Yeah, MTV is not exactly on my radar either for current TV
viewing. However, if you were
flipping around, you might have seen Retro Real World weekend going on. They aired the original New York
season, season three of San Francisco, and the Las Vegas season. So, which one of these is not like the
other? LOL. The Las Vegas season is actually what
chased me out of The Real World show.
Watched it big time and then Vegas was my exit. What really made me sad in watching
this over the weekend was just watching these episodes and then the current
promos would run for the new season.
So disappointing what this show has become. While watching season one and three, all I could think was
now this is when this show was a social experiment. Put all these people in a house and see what happens. That was especially true with the New
York cast as they were the test run.
I loved that season and I stayed up late watching over the weekend cause
I couldn’t turn it off. Eric,
Julie, Andre, Kevin, Heather B, Norman, and Becky were the seven stranger
picked to live in a house and have their lives taped to see what happens when
people stop being polite and start getting real. New York was a huge hit. The cast was such a wide range of personalities from all
over the country. They learned
about one another, learned about New York, and learned about themselves being
put in this fish bowl. The results
were amazing and hooked fans from the beginning. It put reality TV on the map. I watched a TON of San Francisco over the weekend too. Almost the whole thing. That season still might be the most
talked about season of The Real World ever. Judd, Rachel, Cory, Pedro, Puck, Mohammed, Pam, and then
later, Jo, were the cast members for that season. The story of Pedro.
The clashes with Puck.
Serious issues were brought to the table on that season and it was an
amazing season. I just can’t
imagine what it is like to be that young and still trying to figure out
yourselves but being in that house having everything taped. It was also wild to think watching this
retro marathon of just how this group was trying to figure out what to do with
their lives and looking up online to see what a lot of this group was now doing
with their lives. It is like these
seasons of the show freeze these people’s lives in time forever. I find the show still refreshing in
just watching these people trying to figure out who they are becoming. I think we can all relate to that. Only disappointment in these episodes. They were the syndication cuts meaning
all the mainstream music that gave such personality and a timestamp on the show
was pulled and also there were parts of episodes cut down. I can’t tell you what they did with the
Vegas episodes cause I’ve already made my point there and didn’t watch it in
the retro marathon. In truth, I
didn’t watch the San Francisco episodes on TV this weekend. I pulled out an old VHS tape and
watched the original episodes intact and enjoyed every minute of it. I wanted to get the full effect of
watching the show. The retro
marathon was a lot of fun. The sad
was seeing how great these episodes were and then again seeing the promos for
the new season and not leaving me any single desire to watch it. The Real World was great TV back in the
day. It left a huge mark on a
generation that still remembers all of these casts.
So, what new shows am I watching this season? Not really many but I have two that I
love. One being Nashville and the
other being Arrow. Love both of
those shows. Hopefully I can go
more into those shows later.
That is all that I have for tonight. Wishing all of you a great weekend
ahead. Take care and God bless!!
