The Chew is on Hulu. I fast forward through the annoying bits (80% of the show) and only watch what appeals to me. Did you know that out of 60 minutes, only 36 minutes are the actual show?

Anyone else OVER the red-headed Wendy's b*tch??? ENOUGH ALREADY!!!Snide and pompous ads! Like your nasty cheap nuggets are the bomb and your spicy chicken is to die for. NO THANKS.
Bring back the real Wendy's lady!!! (guess she was too fat???)
I enjoyed the Wendy Thomas commercials because she seemed to be an unpretentious and pleasant person. This young thing can go back to acting school and learn how to act less bitch-like.
The two dummies in the Benjamin Moore ads are the wooden counterparts of the fools on Sonic ads. They probably have as many brain cells.

Pandora – please check out your local PBS station(s) for real cooking shows, especially if they carry Create. Many of your wishes will be granted. I know many of mine are :)
Every Saturday morning, I look forward to seeing Simply Ming, America's Test Kitchen, and all incarnations of Martha Stewart. It's like an oasis in a desert of mediocrity.

AFter reading about what Olive Kitteridge is about, I am sure its a great show based on all these awards, but I have absolutely zero interest in ever watching it.
I've watched it and have no interest in watching it again. Too freaking depressing.

Dear Food Network:
Nobody tunes into a cooking show to watch the host go antiquing, be an auctionista, bowl with her chums, or visit local farms to admire the fresh wares. While you're at it, dispense with all scenes where people toast with their wine glasses. Nobody does that shit that often unless they were on The Godfather or a soap. I just want to see people do actual cooking, please?

Hazel has been airing on CoziTV. I found it amusing that when Hazel got a color TV. dozens of people showed up just to see the color of Perry Como's eyes on his show. All I can say is wow. I looked up Bobby Buntrock who played young Harold (Sport) Baxter. He died in an automobile accident when he was 21. What was most interesting was that Buntrock retired from acting following the run of Hazel and two guest appearances on The Virginian.

For people who enjoy watching D-list celebs in the kitchen, Worst Cooks In America: Celebrity Edition is for you. The only celebrity that I recognized was Jaleel "Urkel" White. I predict a bevy of Real Housewives of Whatever in the kitchen. Oh dear, how will their rampant egos coexist with the appliances?

Val's cauliflower steaks looked interesting and this is from somebody who doesn't care much about cauliflower. I agree with Automne about the berries with limoncello, the unexpected twist. It smacks of mediocrity.
Spare me from BF or other relation shopping segments. Tom went shopping for salmon. Blech. Great. Now I have to worry about whether Valerie gets her fish in time for dinner. She did mention that the traffic was bad. Will the BF end up in a 10 car pileup because he wanted to deliver that all-important fish? If he's late, will she have to cook fish sticks drizzled with pesto and garnished with parsley?
This is a personal quirk of mine but I always despised people traipsing in the kitchen while I do last minute preparations. Bitch, if you show up in my kitchen, expect to pitch in and help! The conventional trope of dinner guests oohing and aahing over the dishes gets stale so fast. What ever happened to cooking shows where the hosts simply cooked?

I didn't know Lady Gaga was an extra on The Sopranos. Cool.
She was one of A. J.'s classmates in the episode The Telltale Moozadell. While A. J. and others vandalized the school swimming pool, she sat on the bleachers, smoking a cigarette.
Note to self: Learn more about the Greek alphabet. To prove my ignorance, I chose lambda because the L would also represent the number 50. I've had a sorry track record this week for FJ's.

I saw an article that was posted on Twitter and the headline read "We Talked to the Hero Who Pranked Alex Trebek."
There's an article on Yahoo! about Turd-gate, too. The Talia hype train continues on its blah-blah way. Before it's all over with, Talia will be the most famous loser since Kato Kaelin.

Because in the bio blurb, the old champion mentioned being a hard core Stones fan. To such an extent that she has a tattoo of the band's logo. I think the camera person just focused on the wrong ankle. That stumped me too, I was like um, why are we looking at a ladybug or button or whatever the hell...?
Natalie expressed her devotion to coffee; I thought it was a cup of you-know-what. When will Jeopardy stop shilling the Steve Jobs movie? It's getting tiresome.

Why did the cameras focus on a tattoo of the new champ's ankle at the end of the show?

At the risk of being maligned by a majority of the posters here, I have a horrible confession: I dislike sports with a passion reserved for mosquitoes and telemarketers. As long as I have remembered, sports seem to bring out the worst in people. In recent memory, a man in Alabama was sentenced for three years for poisoning oak trees that were Auburn University icons. Imagine, a man who hated a rival team enough to kill trees to vent his displeasure.
I've noticed on FB that friends are posting disgusting pictures of people who supposedly typify fans of their rival team. This is mean spirited and hardly an example of good sportsmanship, a quality that sports proponents always stress. Yes, sports are always cited as promoting hard work, teamwork, and good sportsmanship.
Athletes are used as role models for young people. Role models of what? Running fast and catching a ball? When an athlete gets in legal entanglements, the media wonders how this will affect little Junior's hero worship of that athlete. When I was young, I admired someone for their character or intellect, not their athletic prowess.
The appeal of watching a team attempting to keep a ball from their rivals has always eluded me. I find there are better ways to spend my time than viewing collective antagonism and self-aggrandizing. But hey, that's just me.

Reebok is bringing back The Pump. Yeah, this is a momentous enough occasion to warrant using capital letters. The Pump assures a better fit for your feet by pressing a button to add more air. If someone has to inflate or deflate shoes to fit better, this only proves the shopper did a piss-poor job of finding shoes that fit to start.

My problem with The Rifleman is the opening credits. Chuck cocking and shooting his rifle from the hip (and his crotch) and then winking at the camera. Subtle.
Sigmund Freud would have been proud. The only thing missing from the opening credits was Chuck Connors smoking a huge cigar.

Talia actually drove me completely nuts. I thought the dancing woman from last season was bad, but at least I could watch her games. I actually would not have been able to watch tomorrow if Talia had won today.
Her cutesy reply of toast cut like soldiers made me wish fervently for her defeat. The whole game was tedious. Even Revolutionary War Before and After couldn't redeem it for me. I looked up Oscar-nominated songs for 1999 and couldn't find the South Park one listed. I erroneously guessed Prince of Egypt for FJ.

Going now to check out pictures of the Founding Fathers for hotness level. (Thanks, ABay!)
My personal favorite was Paul Revere. The man could make beautiful things out of silver. There was one portrait of him with his hand slightly cupping his chin conveying a brooding quality. Artistic and sensitive are hot qualities as far as I'm concerned.
Has anybody played J6 on the Jeopardy website? Some of the questions are a piece of cake while others made me want to pull out my hair. There's multiple choice answers but a limited time to answer.

It's been a while since I saw that Pioneers, did they mention One Step Beyond and The Outer Limits?
Unfortunately they didn't mention One Step Beyond or The Outer Limits. It would have made it more interesting if they were included.

Why Alexander Hamilton was considered an answer worthy of being a great thinker eludes me. Obviously he had accomplishments worthy of being put on a $20.00 but I'll always think of him as the guy who died in a duel with Aaron Burr. Somehow I don't think a philosopher would have engaged in a duel.

American Experience is airing a two-part documentary about Walt Disney. It's unclear whether Disney had serious emotional issues (he did have a breakdown) or was a product of his time. The way that he treated his employees appalled me. Yet he earned 100X the salary of his lowest paid employees. Compared to current CEO's earning 700X of what entry level employees do, he's a relative sweetheart.

I did get FJ but I waffled a bit between The Road Less Traveled and The Road Not Taken before deciding on the right one.
I mentally chastised myself for not knowing the answer. As many times as I've watched The Sopranos there was an episode that stuck with me where Meadow helps A. J. with this poem for an English class.

I found it a boring game and missed a large part of DJ because I decided to do some stuff in the kitchen.
The game itself wasn't that boring but the inclusion of a Steve Jobs category was. True to form, the obligatory Steve Wozniak stock photo was trotted out for the occasion. Am I wrong in thinking there was a Steve Jobs category not that long ago? While I'm at it, the world needs another Jobs movie like bacon needs more cholesterol. Didn't we suffer enough with Ashton Kutcher's rendition?

Wow, Adam displayed some real dickish behavior tonight.
It made his defeat all the sweeter.
I forgot the category and clue on this. One contestant answered Horatio Hornblower while another answered Horatio Alger. Please, God, let nobody say Horatio Sanz, I said to myself.

I don't need David, Aunt Jean, the trio of gal pals, etc.
I have to laugh at her characterization of her version of chipped beef as being nutritious. Well, yeah, maybe if you've worked in the fields all day since sunrise. For most of us, that is a total gut buster.
Today I saw the episode of Nancy with her Bowlerina bowling team. Call me cynical but the bowling team was probably concocted for the benefit of the episode. Nancy's personal team name was King Pin, so yeah, right! It's a hell lot better than what one of her friends was saddled with, Alley Cat. She cooked a bacon sausage hash to fortify her team. Unless they were planning to bowl, then hike the Appalachian trail such a meal seemed like overkill combined with the cream cheese French toast.
Nancy valiantly tries to curb her sing-song tendencies which is welcome to these ears. I said, tries. Her outings with her chums are tedious and unnecessary for a show about cooking. Do you think her local liquor store sends Nancy a Christmas card every year because of her enthusiasm of all things alcohol?

For the past 5 months, I've been receiving treatments for cancer. It's almost gone, thank God. In the afternoons, I usually take a nap because I get tired. That's the time that my sister drops in to see me. When I awaken from my nap, I feel guilty when I learn that I missed her visit. Dropping in is fine if the visitee is young and has no obligations but not so fine if the person is middle-aged fighting a deadly disease.
