Best Friends Forever: We Hardly Knew Ye

By -
Last night I accessed my DVR looking to see what I had recorded and ready to watch.  After being forced to sit through NCIS: LA for the sole reason that it was the second part of a storyline started on Hawaii Five-0, I decided I wanted some comedy.  I had seen that one of my new shows had recorded the previous night so I pushed play.  I got myself all relaxed and ready to see another episode of the hilarious Best Friends Forever, but instead I saw the beginning of some old grandma reality show featuring Betty White.  What the hell?  I knew immediately that my show was a goner. 

Before I get much further please allow me to vent.  I am sick and tired of Betty White.  I officially suffer from Betty White fatigue.  Okay, she was kind of cute and funny in that Sandra Bullock movie a couple of years ago (The good one and not that bore fest that won her an Oscar) but ever since then we have had Betty White forced upon us in unprecedented amounts.  Go home Betty.  Retire already.  So now she apparently has some geriatric, Depends, I can't see over the steering wheel candid camera show.  Who watches this drivel? 

If you never got a chance to see Best Friends Forever, and from the looks of things you probably did not, it starred Jessica St. Clair (The cute blond from the Marshall’s commercials) and Lennon Parham as a pair of BFF’s.  The pilot episode had Jessica living in San Francisco and receiving divorce papers from her husband.  Distraught, Jessica returns to New York and moves in with Lennon and her boyfriend, Joe.  As it turns out, Joe is no match for these two women and finds living with the two of them very difficult. 

Okay so it does not sound like much, but damn it, it was funny, entertaining and the characters were
believable and interesting.  And yes, I realize that this show was aimed at women and kind of fit into the realm of a “chick flick”, but doggone it I don’t care.  I like chick flicks and I am man enough to admit it.  So there!  Oh, and full disclosure: Lady Gianna was not a big fan, but I really don’t think she gave the show much of a chance. 

Anyway, the show has been put on an indefinite hiatus, which in reality means that there is not a snowball’s chance of this show getting back on the air.  There are two remaining episodes that remain unaired and will likely remain that way or will be broadcast via Hulu or something like that.  I want more of my BFF’s!

But while the chances may be extremely slim, there is still a chance.  There is a petition online begging NBC to bring back our BFF’s.  I have already signed it and if you, my dear readers, could do so as well I would really appreciate it.  Take a minute and sign this petition and maybe, just maybe BFF”s can come back for a second chance.  Even if you don't care, help me out and sign it please.  Thanks!

Rules of Engagement: Where's Jennifer?

Good day my friends, Rules of Engagement is far from the most sophisticated television show, but it’s funny.  And really, don’t we need to laugh a little every day?  ROE is a show about two couples, one married & the other engaged, and their lecherous single friend.  Last night’s episode was particularly amusing despite the fact that the very best part of the show was missing.  No Jennifer?  What’s going on? The show takes place in New York City and stars Patrick Warburton (David Puddy from Seinfeld) and the very hot Megyn Price as the long married couple Jeff & Audrey; Oliver Hudson (son of Goldie Hawn and brother of Kate Hudson) and the stunningly gorgeous and sexy Bianca Kajilich as engaged sweethearts Adam & Jennifer; David Spade as the lecherous single guy Russell and Adhir Kalyan as his assistant Timmy.  Many scenes take place in a local diner where our cast frequents.  (Frankly I think we all need a diner close by to hang out in, but ultimately that d

The Amazing Race: All-Stars

Although it is one of the only two reality shows that I regularly watch and enjoy, I rarely write about The Amazing Race.  Today I will right that wrong, not with a recap per se, but rather my early impressions on this, the 24th installment of the popular series.  I have to say that when I first saw the lineup for this seasons all-stars I was a bit underwhelmed.  We had a couple of teams that were already running for the third time and frankly only one team of hot women.  When it comes to TAR, as it is know, you need at least two teams of beautiful women.  That should go without saying.  In addition to that oversight I saw that we would once again be stuck with one of the most annoying teams of all time, twin sisters Natalie & Nadiya.  Thankfully they were quickly eliminated by coming in dead last in episode one.  I could hear the cheers from around the world when it happened.  I was also thrilled that one of my favorite teams, Mark & Bopper were back for a seco

Survivor Caramoan: Shamar is an Ass

Every season of Survivor needs a good villain. And by villain I mean someone that you just love to hate. Richard Hatch was such a villain. Jerri Manthey was a good villain. So was Coach and so was Russell Hantz. Even Phillip made a good villain, even though he is now more of a cartoon character than villain. You root against them, but at the same time it’s kind of good to have them around for a long time as they add so much to the show’s dynamic. Think about it; if you don’t have Snidely Whiplash to torment Nell then you have no Dudley Do-Right. It’s just the way it is. But this season is different. We have Shamar and he is not a good villain. I am not even sure if he is a bad villain. I think he’s just a clueless asshole with incredible anger issues. He serves no purpose on the show whatsoever. He’s not a hero and not a villain. He’s not likeable in the least and he appears to be despised by everyone except Sherri, who sees him as a cranky teenager working
