The TV MegaSite's Blog Post #120

I hope you all had a great Easter! 

I was very happy to get most of my weekly news work done and on time for a change...  The next week's will be up at http://tvmegasite.net/prime/news/news042714.shtml  All week I gather the news and episode info from the press releases, post it on our forum, and then put it into this week's news page so you know what's on this week in TV!  Thankfully I now have Danielle back to help me with the press releases and our great Primetime Forum.

I need to find some time to post for more help. We really need some more writers for the daytime soaps (recaps etc.) and I really do need a bit more help with our Primetime news. Danielle and I can only do so much! It only takes a few hours per week if you want to help out our great site.

Sunday we always watch "Family Guy" (Re-run this week because of Easter) and "Mad Men", "Once Upon a Time" and "The Mentalist" (and sometimes "The Simpsons"). Also, I record "Revenge", "The Bletchley Circle" and "Orphan Black".  This week "Devious Maids" premieres, too! Can't wait for that one.

They were all good shows. I hope that, whether or not the show is over, that Lisbon doesn't go off to another city with that guy! She barely knows him. She and Patrick need to get together or I'm going to be very pissed. It was great to see one of my favorite actors, James Patrick Stuart, as this week's bad guy. He usually does play the bad guy! He's so cute, but he's good at being bad or being like a weasel.

As always, I loved "Once Upon a Time". I like how they left the door open for Neal to maybe come back. It was great to see Rose McGowan again, and Cora's past. Also great the way that Regina and Robin Hood finally kissed! Hurrah!

I watched a lot of "General Hospital" this week. I'm about a month behind, so Lulu just found out that Ben is her son.

There are a lot of very exciting things going on with my site, but I can't talk too much about it yet.

Monday I only watched "Bones" and "Castle", two shows I do always enjoy. Bones was very good, although I admit that I got a little lost with all of those McNamaras.... Castle was hilarious with all of the 70's stuff. However, they should know that nobody said "Groovy" in the 70's... that was a 60's word.

Now I'm catching up on some episodes of "Days of Our Lives" I have on DVD...the great episodes when Nick shows up alive again. Yes, I'm very behind on Days!!

Thursday I watched "Supernatural", and then last week's "Unforgettable". I've started watching the shows I have on DVD, including some "The Young & The Restless" episodes from January!

I got a lot of work done this week, so that was great!

I'm very excited about the upcoming interviews. Thursday I get to speak with the writers and producers of the new "24: Live Another Day". Great show, I just watched the season premiere. One of them is Manny Coto, who ran "Enterprise" the 4th season (I just watched that Blu ray last week!) and ran "Dexter" and other great shows.  Then next week, I'm interviewing Colin Hanks! So that's wonderful.

"Two and a Half Men" was very funny this week! It was great to see Jamie Luner guest-star on the show.  "Big Bang Theory" is always very funny. I watched the new show "Black Box" and I didn't find it very believable. It's about a world-famous neurological expert who runs this special clinic, but she's bi-polar. I wonder if Maurice Benard is watching it?

Friday we watched "Real Time with Bill Maher" as always. He's just so funny.  We also watched a lot of episodes of "The Colbert Report" On Demand. I would say this is the funniest show on TV. We got out of the habit of watching it the past year, but now we're watching it again.

It'll be great to see the new season of "The Killing" on Netflix! August 1st seems so far away...

Apparently a lot of "Days of Our Lives" fans are really pissed at the show and at Soap Opera Digest. SOD had a cover article all about how Sami finally finds out April 21 that EJ cheated on her with Abigail. They interviewed the two actors and went in detail about it. Then it turns out that the episode was all in EJ's imagination! Now, they do these type of dream or daydream scenes all of the time, so why make a special episode about something that didn't even really happen? And worst of all, why lie to fans about it? It seems like they purposely pissed off the fans for no good reason. These are the type of things that make fans turn off their shows for good, or cancel their magazine subscriptions. People don't like being lied to or tricked. 

I hope you're all having a good Spring and having nice weather finally! Go outside and enjoy it, and get some exercise, but then come back inside and watch TV! :)
