Also very interested in Person of Interst, as I am a fan of Michael Emerson (Ben from LOST) and want to support his future projects!
Happy Reading and TV Watching! =)



I'm the same way. I usually don't even tune into the news shows. I have a few favorites on cable that I watch from year to year but I don't invest in new shows. Every single time I like something it's cancelled. At least Revenge is getting good ratings so far so at least it might stand a chance. If it keeps going like this it should get an entire season pick-up and even renewed for next season. But gotta wait and see. These days shows can start off strong and dwindle. Remember that's what happened to The Event last season. It had super ratings in the beginning and flopped fast. I was surprised by how fast The Event went down! Everyone was talking about it at first and now I bet people barely remember it.


As for my favorite shows, I gotta admit I like the nature shows and competition shows. My favorite shows are Project Runway, RuPaul's Drag Race, Ax Men, One Man Army, stuff like that. I also like a lot of the shows on the Military channel where they show the training the soldiers have to do like Surviving the Cut and the Navy Seals Training.
I like the survival shows on Planet Green and Discovery. I love Ax Men though! That's my show. LOL!
I also like Lock Up but they show the same ones over and over. But yeah I don't watch dramas these days. I like those competition shows. One of my very favorite shows was Family Guy but I haven't enjoyed the last few seasons so I haven't watched much. I like the reruns though. It's getting too silly. It was always silly but it's not as funny to me and it's getting even more vulgar than it was.
It's one thing to be vulgar and funny but not just vulgar. I also love a lot of the shows on TruTV like World's Dumbest, Hardcore Pawn, All Worked up. LOL!



I love that Em-Manda just doesn't care about collateral damage in her quest for revenge. It is poetic justice because she herself was collateral damage when they destroyed her father. I also love that she is pretty ruthless about it, "I don't just want to destroy his career, I want to destroy his life." If you think about it, you just can't be squeamish when you set out to destroy somebody.
Up to last night's episode (the one with the psychiatrist) I merely thought her driven by anger. but I am thinking she is borderline sociopath. But I couldn't help but love what she did to that woman. I only wish she had kept her locked up longer.
I am loving the structure of the show so far. One episode per person to take down + some key flashbacks + plus more Grayson family drama = pure win!
Sigh. Now watch the show get cancelled b/c I am enjoying it so much. LOL.




I loved EmManda's face when she said she needs to take care of Tyler. Oh honey, please, crush that worm. I love how she got his number real quick and realized what a fraud he is.
I am curious what becomes of Frank. Since the pilot began 6 months in the future with Em and Daniel's engagement party, Em obviously took care of him. I just wish she'd cut poor Nolan a little more slack and involved him a bit more.
Also, I'm sorry but Daniel has to be a class boob to not realize that Tyler is toxic.

I hope she doesn't go too far and put herself in trouble.

- Loved the reveal with RealEmily. Man, both she and RealAmanda are hardcore. I am hoping they have a deeper bond than just money. Frank figured it out so easily, it seems awfully sloppy for something Emmanda would have left to chance. She's such a long-range thinker that I think she needs to have a plan B, C or even D when it comes to RealEmily.
- Loved the curveball with Tyler, Nolan and even Ashley. Nice to see they are doing something else with her than just making her the most unlucky party planner in the world. Tyler still needs to go down. I dislike him intensely. Great casting for such a smarmy con artist.
- Love Madeline Stowe as Victoria. Can she deliver a snarky line or what? "How crafty of you." after Emmanda gives her the framed invitation. LOL. It was pitch perfect.
- Another great line:
Bodyguard: I can build you a panic room
Emmanda: I don't panic
Man, two whole weeks til the next one. Sigh.

But what about Tyler and Nolan? Wow. This show gets juicer every single week!


My dad tickled me, he said, "I knew Nolan was gay." Ha, ha!
Anyway I'm glad Frank's dead. He was getting on my nerves.
If you are not watching Revenge on ABC then you are missing out on a gem. It is a very good show. It's sort of like a soap opera. It's about a young lady who returns to The Hamptons to get revenge on people who destroyed her father by blaming him for a terrorist attack. He's died in prison and she is coming back to seek revenge!
The show is upbeat and sets are amazing. The view of the scenes is so beautiful and it's like you're really there. There are a lot of interesting characters doing different things that tie into different story lines like a soap. The acting is very good too and what's so great is that every episode the lady gets her revenge on one of the people who ruined her father. People don't know who she is because she has changed her name and when her dad was put away she was taken too because she was just a little kid.
What I like is how they show scenes with her and her father in flashbacks as well as stuff that happened when she was a kid. The flashbacks explain why she is getting revenge on each person and what they did.
So far I am enjoying it and it has impressive ratings so I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't on the entire season and if it becomes a big hit.
Anyway, if you haven't watched it, check it out!
Best Wishes!
