My Two Cents on TLC’s Extreme Couponing

images-1

For the past few weeks, TLC has been heavily promoting the season premiere of Extreme Couponing and the commercials really peaked my interest. I thought, maybe I’d learn a thing or two about clipping coupons. So, this week, I tuned in to Extreme Couponing and live-tweeted while the episode was on. Since it was hard to get my feelings across in 140 character bits, I thought I would write a post full explaining my thoughts. If you aren’t familiar with the show, each episode documents several “couponers” from obtaining the coupons all the way to the checkout line at the grocery store.

Dancing with the Stars Season 12 Cast

Tweet The new cast of Dancing with the Stars has been announced, and they have managed to shock us again! For Season 12, there will be 11 contestants as opposed to the normal 12.  They never addressed that but I am assuming someone dropped out at the last minute. The Dancing with the Stars Season…

Jersey Shore: My Guilty Pleasure

Oh Yeah!

Tweet Yes, I am one of those people who actually enjoy the MTV show Jersey Shore.  And not because it is quality programming.  It is just like a car crash. You want to look away, but you just can’t.  I’ve even made my family watch it.  First my Dad, who I made watch a 3…

NOF_Header_large

Tweet   I am on the ABC.com mailing list and occasionally get e-mails about new shows and specials sent to me.  A few days ago, I was offered a sneak preview of the first episode of the new ABC drama ‘No Ordinary Family’.

GetGlue: The Foursquare for Couch Potatoes

Tweet I will admit it, I have become addicted to GetGlue.  If you’ve never heard of it, the site can best be described as Foursquare for those that prefer to chill at home. And, lets face it, that’s pretty much where I am most of the time. With GetGlue, can check into TV shows and movies…

Take the NO PHONE ZONE Pledge!

Tweet Today is National No-Phone Day.  The statistics show that nearly 6,000 people died in 2008 in crashes involving a distracted driver and more than a half-million were injured. I will admit it.  I used to text and drive.  I don’t do it anymore.  Especially after watching Oprah’s show today:   So, take the pledge….

Kate Gosselin Serves Grits?

Tweet I found this video earlier on People.com.  Apparently, Kate Gosselin has started shooting her new show. Does TLC actually think people want to watch just her on a show? Especially working in a diner? It was painful enough watching her serve cereal to her 8 children every episode. Those poor diner patrons. I think…

An Open Letter to Kanye West

Tweet Dear Kanye, I forgave you when you had a hissy fit at the Grammy’s in 2004 claiming you were robbed of the Best New Artist award. Everyone has a bad day.  I forgave you in 2005 when you said “George Bush doesn’t like black people” during the Katrina Benefit.  Partially because I really disliked…

Partying at Rehab…Reality TV Just got Hotter!

Tweet Since I rarely travel (although perhaps I will be visiting my folks soon in California), I have to live vicariously through reality TV shows.  One show that looks like it’s fun is REHAB.  No, it’s not about a rehab facility, it’s about Rehab, the party spot at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. Rehab…

Tweet According to TMZ.com, “Megan Wants a Millionaire” Canadian contestant Ryan Jenkins is a “person of interest” in the murder of his wife, Playboy model Jasmine Flore.  If you watch the show, he’s the one that whispered “You are gonna love Canadian bacon” to Megan upon meeting her.  This isn’t Jenkins’ first run-in with the…

Jon and Kate Ratings Down…Does Anyone Still Care?

Tweet Jon and Kate Plus 8 returned last night after a hiatus following the separation of Jon and Kate.  Ratings are down 61%.

Get the THIN MINTS!!!

Tweet I laugh everytime I see this commercial. GET THE THIN MINTS!!! Plus, the little girl’s name is Becky, so it gets extra points with me.

Jon & Kate Plus HATE

Tweet So I haven’t blogged about this whole subject, but I feel that I just MUST. I have been a fan of Jon & Kate Plus 8 since the first show, when the sextuplets were little babies.  So, of course, I’ve been reading all the news lately about their divorce. I’ve watched Kate be a…
