ABC Family Thus Far

Okay as Brittany mentioned tonight was the premier of "Ten Things I Hate About You" on ABC Family. It's the latest addition to the ABC Family summer lineup, which is going something like this....

Let's start with

Ten Things I Hate About You:
Okay, the movie was great. I've seen it a thousand times, and I thought the show had a lot to live up to. The result. Fail! The characters they've recreated have lost their charm/likability/intrigue and a bunch of other stuff. I will admit that I like their version of Kat, but she still doesn't live up to the Julia Stiles performance. With television the first episode of the series isn't always the best, so I will give this one another chance.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager:
BORING! I used to be excited for new episodes of this show about teen drama and angsty issues, but lately it's just been dull. This season has started off as a bust
With the exception of one or two high points, it's been lame and not worth watching. Their attempts to be dramatic have not been interesting. "Secret Life" has a habit of running in place with their story lines, so something decent better happen or else I'll find something else to do on Monday nights. Come on Molly Ringwald, SAVE THE SHOW!!

And of course

Make It or Break It:
It's the show about gymnastics. I saw the previews, and I thought there was no way I'd like this. But surprisingly, it's good. The characters are likable. Including Candace Cameron Bure.....otherwise known as DJ Tanner from "Full House." (And the man she's dating on the show also has the last name Tanner :) Anyway, I like the characters on this. And it's also nice to see something that goes beyond the standard basic high school drama. The gymnastics angle is pretty entertaining.
Result: WATCH IT!

Coming Soon.

Ruby and Rockits (Or something like that I forget):
See how interested I am? This is Alexa Vega (Spy Kids Trilogy) and Icon, David Cassidy's new show about a singer who finds herself in some kind of showbiz family. I don't know too many details because in all honesty I could not care less. I probably won't watch this show unless I'm really bored. In other words it doesn't look very good.

QATFYG: Did you watch the first episode of Ten Things? Are you excited about Candace Cameron on Make It or Break It? And is ABC Family going downhill?

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

"High Tide, Storm Rising" - Skinshape

A new Skinshape LP is on the way as of October 28th! "Nostalgia" promises to delve into the world of motives and motifs. Will Dorey (AKA Skinshape) has described this particular track "High Tide, Storm Rising" as "the main theme song of a movie." And if you have read any of my prior posts, you know I'm a sucker for anything cinematic.  Here's a full look at the Skinshape "Nostalgia" track listing: 01. Theme For Lazarus 02. Better Chances 03. Dreams of Panama 04. Moonlight Walk  05. Albion 06. High Tide, Storm Rising 07. Turn Away 08. Bohanon's Cornucopia 09. Bad Dreams 10. Fish & Chips 11. Dawn I would try to include something about live shows, but the soulful likes of Skinahape simply prefer to record and NOT perform live, which is an interesting choice in today's world.  Once again, "Nostalgia" is out everywhere as of Oct. 28th.
