30 Days of TV: Day 17


Favorite TV Bloopers

I didn't like the original category for today, so I'm changing it to one of my favorite things about television.....bloopers!  I can't wait to get the DVD of my favorite show just so I can watch bloopers.  The "gag reel" is never long enough.  If it were up to me, the reel would last an hour!

So without further delay, here are bloopers from some of my favorite shows.

First up......







Next up...






Bloopers aren't complete without these guys...






And finally.....







The timing is a little off from this next video, voices and lines don't match up, but it's Friends, so who cares?!?



I hope you laughed as much as I did!

30 Days of TV: Day 16


My Guilty Pleasure Show

I feel no guilt about liking this show.  It's always been just plain fun for me to watch it.  I'll admit, at times I've wondered what it would be like to have the abilities that these characters have, but oh well.  My guilty pleasure show is....




Yep, Charmed.  To be honest, I prefer the show AFTER Shannon Doherty left, but I will give them props for how they got rid of her character...that was sad.  The story lines, especially during the first 5-6 years were interesting.  By the time the final season came around, it was time for it to go, but they ended the show really well too.

I found a video that shows some of why this show is fun.  Click here to watch it.

30 Days of TV: Day 15


My Favorite Female Character


I have a thing for spies.  My favorite female character is much like my favorite male character.  Working as a spy for the CIA, and as a double agent for the people she thought was the CIA, my favorite female character is....




Sydney Bristow, from Alias is a chameleon.  A different look each episode, and sometimes different looks throughout each episode, she fights the bad guys with style.  Sydney is strong, confident, and knows how to kick butt!  Throughout the show she is thrown A LOT of crazy things to deal with, and manages to stay grounded.  Let's face it, I often wish that I looked like her, and that I could fight like she can!

30 Days of TV: Day 14


My Favorite Male Character


Hmm, let me think about this for a little less than one second.  Who could it be, who could it be?  Wait, I've almost got it...no, not him.  Gee, I wish I could think of who my favorite male character is!  Anybody have any ideas?  Oh wait, now I remember.  My favorite male character is.......






Michael Westen is like an onion.  He has so many layers.  He's a great character because he has the ability to become so many different people, depending on who the situation is calling for.  

The video here is of Michael doing what he does best.  Set to the song Smooth Criminal, by Michael Jackson, it shows his "spy side", and all the resources that come with being a spy.



Being a spy, and helping people in trouble does have its drawbacks.  Michael's friends and family are often the people who get caught in the middle of all of his problems.  Michael doesn't like to show emotion.  But the following video here shows what happens when he does.




In the end, Michael Westen is my favorite male character because he is smart, funny, someone who wants to do the right thing even if he has to work with people who aren't exactly "good", and surrounds himself with good people.  Plus, he is one very handsome man to look at!!








It's all about the shades, man!!

30 Days of TV: Day 13


My Favorite Childhood Show


I have two shows from my childhood that I remember loving.  And when I had access to Cartoon Network, Brandon and I would watch them.  I actually got him hooked on them, and then we got rid of cable....I was sad.

My first favorite childhood show revolves around 4 bumbling crime fighting teenagers and their dog......




I LOVE Scooby Doo!  The original, raw, 1970's episodes.  Not the versions that have come out since then.  I'm a fan of the Scooby Doo Adventures where they would meet up with the famous people of that time; The Adams' Family, Sonny & Cher, Batman & Robin, etc.  But the original 2 seasons of this show are my absolute favorite; so much so, that I own them!

The shows are so fun because they are simply so ridiculous!  You meet the "bad guy" within the first 5 minutes of the episode, "Danger prone Daphne" usually screws up the crazy plot to catch the "ghost", and the cheesy music found in each episode pulls it all together.  Below are a few of my favorite songs from the show.







This is my favorite song, and probably my favorite episode.  It's catchy, and just fun.




My second favorite childhood cartoon is also still one of my favorites today.  But like with Scooby Doo, I prefer the original cartoons from the 1970's - 1980's, not those that have been made recently.


I miss cable for this show.  Brandon LOVED it!  This show became a part of our evening routine.  Below are some great moments from this show.
