I’m sure a lot of people think Kristen Bell is adorable. Count me in that camp. Well…I think she is just plain hot rather than adorable but what are you gonna do? Anyways, she pulled a bit of actress I’m sure in this clip on the Ellen show, but that doesn’t stop most people from believing it is genuine.

I think it is just an attempt at either a parody, or to get a new meme floating around, and it has most definitely worked. This is one of the top stories of the day and most talked about so it definitely worked by getting her some extra press. Sure she can now afford that pool fence arizona to keep her privacy now with all the extra dough.

Really no proud side for this one I would say. Garth Brooks donated $500,000 to an Oklahoma hospital in which he expected them to name a wing after his mother. Apparently they had a verbal agreement in which the hospital would build a new women’s wing and then name it after his mother. They didn’t.

Brooks took them to court and was awarded his $500,000 donation back as well as $500,000 in punitive damages by the jury.

During the trial, Brooks testified that he thought he had a solid agreement with Moore. Brooks said the hospital president initially suggested putting his mother’s name on an intensive care unit, and when Brooks said that wouldn’t fit her image, Moore suggested a women’s center.

“I jumped all over it,” Brooks told jurors in tearful testimony. “It’s my mom. My mom was pregnant as a teenager. She had a rough start. She wanted to help every kid out there.”

Hard to believe they couldn’t have come to some agreement without going to court. I mean come on. What hospital can afford to give back a $500K donation? Honestly, who would think a $500K donation was enough to build a new WOMEN’S CENTER for $500K? Stupid all around. Gonna have to use a folding patio table for the nurse’s station I guess now.

My mom and dad recently moved and are looking into changing cable companies. They wanted to be able to look at the prices and channels that were offered with satellite tv. My dad wants to make sure to have all the sports channels, movie channels, and the channel that 24 is on. My mom want so have The Food Network and Bravo. They both want to make sure they can watch American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. I told them they should go to www.CannonSatellite.com to find all of the information they need on satellite tv. Now that my parents no longer have children living at home, I guess they have a lot of time to watch tv. I told them that they should take up a hobby that they can do together, but they seem to be perfectly content watching tv together in the evenings. My mom said they she spent too many years giving up the tv to all of her kids and that now she is going to watch whatever she wants, whenever she wants. I guess my parents have earned their tv time.

I am pretty picky about what I watch on TV now. Once I started taking TV dramas more seriously, and began to watch cable shows I find most of what is on broadcast passing for drama to be very subpar. When you can watch shows like Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, etc. over shows such as Terra Nova it becomes clear quite quickly that it is time to move on from such broadcast shows.

Doesn’t mean I don’t give a few a shot every once in a while. Mostly because cable shows run short seasons that air all over the place. 13 episodes in the summer, or whenever ends very quickly. So a good portion of the year there just isn’t one of the best shows on to watch so I must watch something I guess.

So far this year I have watched 2 shows I believe from the start. Terra Nova, and Once Upon a Time.

Terra Nova is absolutely awful. The CGI is hilarious and the dialogue is just as funny, BUT I watched it so what does that say about me? Mostly that I had nothing to watch. Especially with the massive breaks this year for shows like Fringe, which seemed endless. If Terra Nova gets renewed I doubt I will watch it longer. Just not that interesting overall, but as a filler show you could probably do worse. Not much, but probably. Rather buy maternity clothes shopping think now than watch it. The writing and dialogue is really what I disliked about the show because I love dinosaurs and semi-sci fi if that is what it is. Just really don’t like how the show is done by using the family as the main characters and focusing the show through them. Very cheesy teen romances, and family time that just wastes a lot of time. The “Sixers” who I suppose are the big bads of the show for the most part are just laughable.

Once Upon the Time on the other hand I slightly enjoy. The premise being that a bunch of fairly tale characters get cursed and end up in modern times in a town called StoryBrook. They all forgot who they are so some random kid has this book that he believes tells him who they all are from the stories. They do flashbacks to the fairy tale lands and show the characters living in this town without knowledge of it. Part of it is them remembering, which frankly is the most uninteresting part of the show and the sooner they figure it out the better.

Not saying the show is fantastic because it isn’t, but I definitely like it a lot more than Terra Nova at this point. I don’t think the show will stick with me though since it is still not a high quality drama by any stretch. It’s more of a guilty pleasure for now. I find myself less inclined to discuss the show the last few weeks, which tells me that I am just not that into anymore.

Sherlock I mentioned the other day on BBC was another I started which is superb, but only 3 episodes a season and is through season 2 now. 90 minutes, but worth watching for sure.

OTher than that everything else is over and on cable like Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, and The Borgias. All shows I am looking forward to the next season. Game of Thrones is April

IT’s really no surprise that Sherlock Homes tales have lasted as long as they have. While being great stories, they have a certain mystery solving about them that intrigues most readers of the CoSir ARthur Conan Doyle libraries. Sherlock Holmes is one of th e most portrayed storybook hereoes of all-time and with the blockbuster movies out now CBS obvioulsy wnats on board. Of course…the movies aren’t actually the main reason I am guessing, which is really what my main intent was for introducing this subject.

BBC has produced a phenomenal rendition of the Holmes legacy the past couple years that is probably one of their more well known shows over the eyars. At least it is one of the only that I can remember that many Americans watch as it airs rather than hearing about it years later when someone else copies it. It is simply titles Sherlock, and each episode runs approximately 90 minutes. So far they have complete 2 seasons of 3 episodes each. At 90 minutes this is a typical season length (Brits call a season a “series” in case I screw up somewhere you know what I mean) for a British show equal to about 6 episodes.

Sherlock portrays Homes in modern times and utilizes his investigative skills in modern police work. The show is very good at keeping true to the original stories, however. They just do it all in modern times and make the necessary changes to fit it in. For instance, Watson instead of writing short stories in books runs a blog. Sherlock is actually becoming well known in the world and is sort of a media sensation of sorts. Problems arise from this of course, but it doesn’t make the show any worse for it. The writing is top notch and this show is by far one of the best shows running right now. Highly recommend you watch if you are a fan of Homes at all.

Why I said it’s not surprising that many jumped on the bandwagon is that Holmes is a very unique character. Debuting way back in the 1800′s he was already using many forensic science methods for solving crime. So to have him in modern times seems to be a very easy stretch really, and quite an interesting one. His use of forensic methods in those times seems quite a ways a head of the times, and to see him demonstrate his amazing abilities in current times is no surprise.

CBS is planning to run a show in which Homes moves to New York City. I’ll hold off on any judgments until it is on. They run the hell out of CSI shows so they probably have a plan on how to do this, although living up the the BBC version will be very tough to do. Maybe he’ll find Mrs. Hudson doing house cleaning services raleigh nc.

BTW…if you don’t know the Holmes stories…shame on you, but you might know of someone who is exactly like him. That would be House. Gregory House is loosely based on Homes and you can tell very easily if you are familiar with both characters. House even has the same address as Homes does. 221B.
