Ghost Adventures – Death By Wild West

Posted on by

Just as I suspected, this week’s GHOST ADVENTURES is merely a clip show of some of the best moments of their investigations in old west mining towns.  Good for those unfamiliar with the show, but bad for folks like me who have seen them all already.

I was afraid that this was the season finale, but it looks like there will be one or two more episodes before it goes back into hiatus.  Next week is called “Crazy Town” and takes place in Mineral Wells, TX.  Something about ‘crazy water’ and the Baker Hotel.

Now being out of Friday night shows to watch, movie night it is!!

CBS has announced that they will be airing a new series starting in the Summer of 2013 from best-selling author Stephen King.  UNDER THE DOME will be brought to TV by the network next summer in their adaptation of King’s post-apocalyptic story.  The novel is about a town in New England that is suddenly covered by a transparant dome that traps everyone inside and keeps everyone on the outside of the dome out.  Continue reading →

Blast From The Past – The Newlywed Game

Game shows just aren’t what they used to be.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m way to young to have watched THE NEWLYWED GAME as originally broadcast.  Still though, I remember watching reruns of this show as a kid.  The show originally aired on ABC on July 11, 1966.

Bob Eubanks was the original host of the show and managed to host 2,195 episodes in the shows first run.  He was only 28 years old when he began hosting.  He is credited with coining the phrase “making whoope”, which believe it or not, was controversial at the time.

Here is a classic clip:

Arrow – Muse of Fire

A more fitting title might be “mess of garbage” as that is a near perfect description of this week’s ARROW.  Just as I was starting to sort of like the show, here comes this episode to throw it all away.  I’ll go so far as to say (without exaggeration) that this might have been one of the worst episodes of television I have ever watched.

American Horror Story – Dark Cousin

This week’s recap of AMERICAN HORROR STORY is brought to you late by a severe lack of time and unfortunate backlog of television viewing.

Enjoy!

Dark Cousin was a fine episode that suffered a little bit more from its randomness than anything else.  Not quite up to par with the quality of the last one, it was still able to appropriately further the story and introduce a couple of intriguing elements.

Extreme Cougar Wives

Can someone tell me when this cougar phase our country is going through is going to be over?  The way things are going with this, I’m hoping that this phase ends on December 21 and we are all taken out of our collective misery.  Not wanting to miss out on an opportunity to exploit a fad for money, TLC has a show called EXTREME COUGAR WIVES.  First, let me just say that the name TLC is extremely funny.  TLC is ostensibly called The Learning Channel.  The only thing they are learning at The Learning Channel is how to make crap TV.  They are teaching Masters courses on that subject.

Now, EXTREME COUGAR WIVES.  This is a show that isn’t just about Cougars.  No.  That would be very boring and played out.  TLC took that concept and kicked it up a notch.  Instead of a regular Cougar, they have given us extreme Cougars.  These are women that are seriously old dating boys that are seriously young.  Are you hooked yet?  Here is a clip from the show:

 

I hope you hadn’t just eaten dinner before you watched that.  If this show doesn’t bring about the Mayan apocalypse I don’t know what will and if it doesn’t, I think we are all doomed for worse and worse TV to be made in the coming years.

Fans of THE JERSEY SHORE have no doubt been crying all over their tanning beds since their show was mercifully cancelled, but not to worry mouth-breathers, MTV is coming to the rescue.  They just announced a new reality show that will take the place of the guidos in their time slot.  Not content to make just guidos look bad, MTV will bring a new show that undoubtedly focuses on red necks and the crazy antics that red necks get themselves in to.  BUCK WILD will premiere on January 3 on MTV and judging from the cast picture, I can come up with a few of the fights that will happen on this show:

Whatever Happended To Donald Faison From Scrubs?

Look, we here at MWTVG are huge fans of all things Bill Lawrence.  His credits include SCRUBS, COUGAR TOWN, and SPIN CITY.

I did some research and it appears that since SCRUBS, Donald hasn’t really done all that much.  Best I could find was maybe one appearance on LOVE BITES and some voice work.

I don’t have his phone number or the real desire to check out more than one website (my “research”) so that is where his bio will end.  Anyway, here is one of my favorite clips from the show.

Justin Bieber May Be A Dad?

Look, I’m not even going to get into how Lindsey Lohan has been arrested again.  No, today we learn that the Biebs, may actually be a dad.

The case started back in 2010 with a paternity suit that claimed Bieber, then 16, got Mariah Yeater pregnant backstage at a concert.  It didn’t last long and it appeared she was something of a nutcase.

Well, she is now claiming to have evidence that Bieber is in fact the father of her child.  Bieber claims to have never even met the woman.  My source on all of this is the Huffington Post, so there might be some credibility to the story.

Here’s a link to the Huffington Post article.  Can you imagine Justin Bieber as your dad.  Brings a whole new meaning to his song, “Baby, Baby, oh Baby”
