Waiting for September’s TV season premieres

Katkat — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 04:03:50 +0000

Our TV has been seriously neglected for the past summer months. I couldn’t find anything to watch except for Masterchef and So You Think You can Dance (which I didn’t really follow that much.) Anyway come September the better TV shows come back! Here are their schedules (if you’re watching what I’m watching, )

Parenthood (NBC) – Sept 13

America’s Next Top Model (CW) – Sept 14

Dancing with the Stars (ABC) – Sept 19

New Girl (Fox) – Sept 20, starring Zoey Deschanel. I liked her at 500 Days of Summer. So we’ll see…

Glee (Fox) – Sept 20

The X-Factor (Fox) – Sept 21, will Simon Cowell bring it?

Grey’s Anatomy (ABC) – Sept 22

Amazing Race (CBS) – Sept 25

Once upon a Time (ABC) – Oct 23. Oh this isn’t September…the trailer looked interesting so we’ll see…

Unfortunately I can’t watch Top Chef and Project Runway because our cable package doesn’t include them. Anyway there are too many shows, they would surely keep me glued the whole week. Thank God for September! and thank God for DVR!

Fall’s TV shows

Yahoo it’s fall season again!!! With this season comes new TV episodes. I’ve been dying to watch all the shows that was left hanging at the beginning of summer. Here are the schedule lineups:

America’s Next Top Model – same format for the past 14 cycles but it never bores me. New season will start on Sept 8/9pm at CW.

Hellcats – I’m going to boycott Gossip Girl after wasting my time watching it last season. The previous season was a big joke. So I’m going to try and see what’s this new TV show, Hellcats, is about. I’m only watching it because: 1. it’s about cheerleading and 2. Ashley Tisdale stars. Hellcats premieres on Sept 8 9/10 at CW.

Parenthood – one of my favorite shows last season. It’s a refreshing change from all other dramas because this actually promotes good family and moral values. We need more shows like this to change society and less of 90210, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Private Practice, Brothers and Sisters. The new season starts on Sept 14 10/11pm at NBC.

Glee – will New Directions make a comeback to win the Sectionals? I’m most excited to see Filipino singing sensation Charice guest in this series. Tune into Fox on Sept 21 at 9/10pm.

Grey’s Anatomy – with that suspenseful cliffhanger season finale last April, I’m very excited to see what happens next in this medical drama. I wish Lexie and Sloan get back together though. New season starts on Sept 23 9/10pm at ABC.

I guess those are the only shows I’m going to watch. Hopefully I can navigate my study schedule around these shows.

Charice on Glee???

Katkat — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 01:19:07 +0000

Filipino and Charice fans, listen up! I got this latest news tidbit from Yahoo news. Charice Pempengco, the 16-yr-old singing sensation star that has been featured in Oprah Winfrey Show 3 times and Ellen Degeneres and other cool events, is going to join Glee next season. According to the article, Charice will play the role of a foreign exchange student who will rival Michelle Leah’s character Rachel for the top spot in Glee. Wouldn’t that be cool?! This news might be premature but for us Filipino fans, it’s great news!I hope Charice will have a good accent but I guess her accent won’t matter when she opens her mouth and sings a song because she’s truly talented.

I can’t wait to watch it! In the meantime, for those who don’t know Charice’s singing talent, watch her duet with Celine Dion in Madison Square Garden. It gives me goosebumps every time!

TV show comebacks

The TV couch potato has reared its head…or spud…once again. A lot of my favorite shows are coming up with new episodes. I’ve researched their season premiere so that I can put it here and not forget the date.

Gossip Girl – March 8, 9/8pm at CW

America’s Next Top Model – March 10, 8/7pm at CW

Dancing with the Stars – March 22, 8/7pm at ABC

Glee – April 13, 9/8 at Fox

Stay tuned!

It’s Glee time!

In my opinion, one of the most original show that hit TV last season. I’m tired of reality show, comedy series that emulate other comedy series, or suspense action that trying to surpass LOST or 24 or dramas that bring back the old glory of original dramas like Melrose Place. Glee’s appeal stood out on its own. Its witty and funny script combined with singing talent from a group of nobodys made the show endearing and addictive. Of course that’s from a 20-something-year-old point of view. Having a high school setting, I don’t know if it interests the older generations. My mom likes it though.

I wasn’t able to watch Glee the first time it aired. It was a fight between America’s next top model or Glee. ANTM won. Anyway when all my favorite reality series ended, I was able to catch reruns of Glee. And one particular episode where Kurt and Rachel diva-ed off had my attention completely. After that I was watching avidly. With our DirectTV’s ability to record shows, I even replay the episodes.

Glee will return for another season on April. It left off with the Glee club winning the Sectionals and preparing for the Regionals; and there’s finally a romance between Mr. Schuester and Ms. Pillsbury. My most favorite character though would be the terror-coach Sue Sylvester…and that’s how Sue “C”ees it.

Here are my favorite clips from the show.

Most powerful video – it definitely hooked me up to the show. This is Kurt and Rachel’s diva off for the song “Defying Gravity”.

Sexiest video – Mr. Shuester gave me goosebumps when he performed “Thong Song”

Most romantic video – this is Puck laying down his heart to Rachel…or Quinn?

Funniest video – the boys team did a fantastic mash-up of Confessions and It’s my Life with a little help from a “Vitamin D” that made them “high" and hyper.

Most outrageous video – the football team and Kurt doing Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” to win football.

Glee recently won best comedy series in the Golden Globes. Congratulations and great job, guys!

Stay tune for more Glee!

Good stuffs on TV

After a winter hiatus of some good TV shows, I am finally anticipating their return this week! Foremost is Grey’s Anatomy which episode ended with the Chief return to an alcoholic behavior and Sloan’s hot pregnant daughter. Gossip girl won’t be coming back yet. New episodes will air at around march or april. The same can be said with Glee. Project Runway surprisingly will return for a new season after just finishing its last season 4 months ago. The biggest and most anticipated show I’ve been waiting for is American Idol! Yup I’m still an Idol fan even though a lot of news are reporting its downfall and loss of appeal. I’m highly excited to watch Ellen Degeneres as a judge. She would be funny! This solves 3 days of the week for me. And it’s also good to have TIVO to record the show and watch it again and again.

Happy TV watching!
