Keifer How I Love Thee

Karla Bond — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:00:09 +0000

Today is Things I Love Thursday. While Keifer isn’t a thing, 24 DVD’s are. In all honesty I am still in mourning. Next season won’t be the same without it. I love that I can still keep Keifer on my screen though the creation of DVD’s.

Thank God for DVD

While I still mourn the thought of never seeing Jack Bauer on Fox Monday night, I can relive all eight days on DVD. Season eight hasn’t been issued a release date yet but Amazon is taking pre-orders. My Christmas list will include that DVD. How I love that show. Best action show on TV, in my opinion.

Were you hiding under a rock and missed all 8 seasons? Here’s a recap.

Season One: Begins and ends at 12:00 AM on the day of the California presidential primary in Los Angeles. Jack Bauer’s protocol is to protect Senator David Palmer from an assassination plot, and rescue his own family from those responsible for the plot, who seek retribution for Jack’s and David Palmer’s involvement with a covert U.S. mission in the Balkans.

Season Two: Begins and ends at 8:00 AM in Los Angeles. Jack must stop a nuclear bomb from detonating in Los Angeles, then assist President David Palmer in proving who is responsible for the threat. This is necessary to avoid an unfounded war between the United States and three Middle Eastern countries.

Season Three: Begins and ends at 8:00 AM in Los Angeles. Jack must stop a nuclear bomb from detonating in Los Angeles, then assist President David Palmer in proving who is responsible for the threat. This is necessary to avoid an unfounded war between the United States and three Middle Eastern countries.

Season Four: Begins and ends at 7:00 AM in Los Angeles. Jack must save the lives of his new boss Secretary of Defense James Heller and Heller’s daughter Audrey Raines (with whom Jack is romantically involved) when they are kidnapped by terrorists. The same terrorists then launch further attacks against America.

Season Five: Begins and ends at 7:00 AM in Los Angeles. Jack is believed to be dead by everyone except a few of his closest friends. He is forced to resurface when some of those friends are murdered and he is framed for the murders.

Season Six: Begins and ends at 6:00 AM in Los Angeles. Jack is released after being detained in a Chinese prison for twenty months. Terrorists plot to set off suitcase nuclear devices in the United States and Jack must stop them. Later, Jack has to choose between his loved ones and national security.

Season Seven: Begins and ends at 8:00 AM in Washington, D.C. Jack is assisted by the FBI and old colleagues after a major national security incident occurs when the firewall responsible for protecting America’s government computer infrastructure is breached by the same people responsible for a conflict in Sangala. Jack must then secure evidence to begin their arrests, some of whom are within President Taylor’s administration.

Season Eight: Begins and ends at 4:00 PM in New York City. Jack is about to leave for Los Angeles with his daughter, Kim, her husband and her daughter Teri when he is brought in by CTU to uncover a Russian plot to assassinate Islamic leader Omar Hassan during peace negotiations with U.S. President Taylor. Later, Jack must seek retribution for lives lost amidst a governmental cover-up initiated by former president Charles Logan and approved by Taylor.

So head on over to Amazon and grab your copies today!

I Love the TV Blogging World

Karla Bond — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:00:16 +0000

Do you know how many bloggers are out there blogging about TV? While there are many I would love to talk about, I would like to bring light to these three sites I consider to be top notch.

Michael Ausiello

Michael used to blog for TV Guide but then made the switch EW Online. Of course I decided to stalk follow him over to EW. He is the King of TV gossip. He is funny, to the point, and loves loves to tease you with him knowledge. I visit him on Facebook and follow him on Twitter.

Clique Clack TV

I just discovered this blog the other day and love it. There re a team of bloggers that write about every show on TV I think. There is a great recap section in case you missed an episode. One feature I like is their chat. Looks like they host events and chat while a show is airing. I hope to catch one or two of these in the future. Follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

The TV Chick

I want to be Alix Sternberg. She is one die hard TV chick. She has a site full of TV interviews, giveaway, and some cool flashback shows recaps. I mean who doesn’t love a good 80′s flashback of 90210 or Boy Meets World. I really enjoy reading her interviews and I am only a tiny bit jealous of that. She is a must follow on Twitter.

Army Wives

Karla Bond — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:00:21 +0000

Army Wives is such a great show. Most Army shows are shown from the stand point of the soldiers rather then the families that are left behind. I believe this show address many important issues that face Army families.

About the Show

Army Wives follows 5 families and how they cope when their loved ones are deployed. Four wives and one husband share their dreams, struggles, and a bonding friendship over their loved ones being in the Army and being deployed.

The Families

Claudia Joy Holden (Kim Delaney) is the den mother. Married to General Michael Holden (Brian McNamara) and head of everything on post is also a mother of two. She had gone from dealing with the death of a child to dealing with her husband being deployed after years of being on post.

Denise Sherwood (Catherine Bell) is a mother to one and wife to Frank Sherwoon (Terry Serpico). She is dealing with not only her husband being deployed but her son. This season she will welcome another Sherwood to the family.

Roxy LaBlanc (Sally Pressman) is wife to Trevor LaBlanc (Drew Fuller) and mother of two. She meet Trevor and married in within weeks. She runs the Hump Bar and doesn’t take flack from anyone. Roxy is as honest as they get.

Pamela Moran (Bridget Brannagh) WAS married to Chase Moran (Jeremy Davidson) who is in the special ops divison of the Army. Like many families in the Army, divorce is high. For Pamela, Chase’s job of being gone all the time and not knowing when he will be back took it’s toll

Roland Burton (Sterling K. Brown) is married to Lt. Colonel Joan Burton (Wendy Davis), a full time dad and a psychiatrist. Being the only man of the group doesn’t shy him away from asking for help when needed. This season he is dealing with Joan’s PSTD, which again is a common problem among Army families.

Oh Donnie!

Karla Bond — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 02:12:01 +0000

Who do I see as Rizzoli’s boss Monday night on TNT’s Rizzoli and Isles? Oh yes, Donnie Walhberg.

Right there makes it worth watching. I was a NKOTB fan way back when but a life long Donnie fan. What would make the show twice as yummy would be if his brother Mark was side by side with him. A girl can dream can’t she?

Hulu is a Summer Television Lifesaver

Karla Bond — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:28:30 +0000

Hulu has to be one of my favorite sites. I have a very complicated DVR system and it tends to not record what I want. When that happens it’s Hulu to the rescue.

Great for summer watching

Summertime is a great time to catch up on shows you may not have thought about or didn’t have time to watch. Hulu also has some of those made for TV movies. New shows and episodes are getting added everyday. Don’t forget to subscribe to your favorite channels so you don’t miss out.

Relive the older shows

This week is camping week on Moms Talk Network. Trying to find a good episode was not hard with Hulu. This great Monk episode where Monk tries to go camping. I never did catch Monk before it was cancelled so watching this episode makes me want to try to catch more episodes. Hulu has episodes of some older shows that you may have wished your watched before they went off the air.

Four Thumbs Up

If I had four thumbs that is what I would give Hulu for one of the best TV site out there. So what are you waiting for? Skedaddle on over there and watch some of your forgotten shows.

Don’t forget to come back and let me know what you are hooked on.

Are you a Gleek?

Karla Bond — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:24:48 +0000

Glee is one of the best shows to hit TV in a long time!

When they aired the pilot 4 months before it actually premiered I was totally bummed. Why you ask? Because I had to wait 4 months for more. I fell in love the moment it started.

Gleeks are fans of Glee.

They are considered glee geeks, gleeks for short. Fan sites have sprouted up everywhere. Gleek is spreading all across Twitter and Facebook. Glee is one of the most tweeted about shows!

Celebs are Gleeks too

Glee loves to host celebrities on their show. Kristin Chenoweth and Neil Patrick Harris are just two that have guest stared on the show. Jimmy Fallon, Daniel Radcliff, Ashley Greene and even Michelle Obama is rooting for Team Puck.

The Music

This show is jam packed of musical talent. Artists like Madonna and Lady Ga Ga have shown they are true gleeks by allowing their music to be in the show and sung by this fantastic cast. You can find all of their music on three different soundtrack, of which I own ALL of them.

Where to find Gleeks?

Gleek Central: Follow on Twitter
Gleek Guide: Follow on Twitter
Gleek Retreat: Yes there is such a thing. For bloggers by bloggers. This year has past but keep updated on their website or Twitter
Glee on Fox: Follow them on Twitter

Do Dog Trainers Teach The Dogs Or The Humans?

Karla W — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:42:11 +0000

We have a dog. He’s a little over a year old and weighs approx. 80 pounds. When he was a puppy someone told us about the Dog Whisperer, but it wasn’t until a couple weeks ago that we watched the show.

Cesar Millan does a wonderful job of helping the families. [I'm particularly impressed with his off road roller blades.] It seems like he comes for a particular problem, addresses that problem, and goes on his way. Does he train the dogs? A little. Does he teach the humans? A lot. He even says, “I rehabilitate dogs. I train people.”

The other dog show we’ve watched is It’s Me or The Dog.
I love to listen to Victoria Stillwell’s accent. She seems to try to help the whole situation; not just one aspect of the dog and it’s family. She seems a bit more on the fancy side with her snazzy convertible and leather jacket, but she’s not too proud to scoop poop when it needs to be done. Once again, she spends a lot of time teaching the people how to react and interact with the dogs.

Both trainers use gadgets, but usually as a last resort. Praise and treats work wonders. One trait that both trainers have a lot of is patience. Take the time in the beginning and it will save you a lot of trouble later on.

Because of watching these shows I try to analyze what I do – or what my children do – when there is a problem with our energetic dog. What do you think? Do you have a dog? Have you watched either of these shows?
