Favorite Episodes

This summer I was fortunate to obtain "Soap Net" for the first time. It's been a long time coming and I can tell you the day I realized I had it was like Christmas!

Soap Net shows repeats of Bev 9er. It shows two a day during the week and 3 on Saturday, and the same 3 on Sunday. My friend Melissa and I have long had very in depth conversations about episodes while we should be working out at the gym. A lot of analyzing goes on between sets.

The weekday episodes have just turned over and they are currently showing Season 1. Now even though I already own them on DVD, I was very excited to set the old TiVo to tape a few favorites.

Today I watched "Perfect Mother". You all remember; Brenda is jealous of how cool Jackie Taylor is and doesn't realize how wonderful Cindy Walsh is until Jackie shows up coked out at the Mother/Daughter fashion show.

I had been waiting and waiting for Season 3 to come out- because not only is this the fabulous senior year, but it also includes the Beach Club episodes, and the Brenda/Donna visit to Paris.
Do you know that these seasons have like a total of 3o episodes each? Ahh...the good old days. Now we barely get 20 episodes of a show a season, and only if the writers and actors are all cooperating.

There are so many to choose from-What are some of your favorites?

I have Spoilers...

Now, I will admit that I am addicted to spoilers. I'm someone who used to hunt for Christmas and Birthday presents and practically open up wrapped gifts. (Thankfully, I've outgrown this.)
I love to ruin tv stuff for myself. (Ask Natalie what happened when recently watched "The Departed". Damn you, Wikipedia!)

So- I have some juicy stuff on our new show.....What I'm going to do is post it below but hidden. If you are so interested, all one has to do is click and higlight the section to reveal the info.
Does that work for everyone?

Breaking News- Highlight below if you want to be mildly spoiled

So- Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty have been filming beaucoup scenes together.
"Kelly" as the guidance counselor has brought back successful British director "Brenda" to direct the school play when the director backs out.

Get this: she even invites Brenda to stay with her and HER 4 year old SON! AND.....
Brenda is BABYSITTING the little boy when Kelly's boyfriend, and English teacher at the school, (not Dylan, not Brandon, thankfully not druggie Colin or boring Matt) stops by and meets Brenda at the door!

Hmmm....apparently the ladies have been filming lots of scenes.....

Uh Oh

From my friend Perez Hilton

The CW released a statement on Monday announcing that they won't be sending critics any advance screeners to review of their special premiere of the new 90210.
In other words, the two-hour premiere will not be seen by anyone beforehand.
The show must suck if they're not giving out screeners for reviews.
That's a bad sign!
The statement read, “The CW and our studio partner CBS Paramount Network Television have made the strategic marketing decision not to screen ‘90210’ for any media in advance of its premiere."
And they seemed to want to emphasize the following, "We're not hiding anything . . . simply keeping a lid on 90210 until 9.02, riding the curiosity and anticipation into premiere night, and letting all our constituents see it at the same time.”
Or could they just be hiding that it sucks?
Either way, we'll be tuning in to watch the premier.


I've recently been starting to get nervous- like this might all blow up!

Now, you all know I love tv, and so do you- admit it!

But, do the rest of you find that as "adults", it's really hard to keep up with shows! Even with DVRs and TiVos- I'm actually panicking at the thought of trying to watch How I Met your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Ugly Betty, The Office, My Name is Earl, Heroes, Lost, Gossip Girl, 9.02, ANTM, and whatever else I've forgotten
(Sorry, Gretchen- I'm trying to let go of The Hills. But when the marathon is on, I'll be tied to it I'm sure)

What are you all addicted to?

***I forgot my all time favorite show- the Amazing Race- I like to pretend in my head that I could go on this show, but the sleep deprivation on a sidewalk in India would do me in....

A Break from Bev 9er to discuss the proprietor

I was tagged by Mommy Esq.

The subject is….“6 UN-spectacular things about me”

Rules:
Link the person who tagged you.
Mention the rules on your blog.
Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.

1. I am the world's slowest eater. If you dine with me, I will drive you crazy. People have told me this is actually a good thing because it helps with your digestion and keeps you thin (allegedly). I have always been slow. I vividly remember remaining at the dining room table when everyone else was already done, and pulling out my homework and working on it along with my dinner for hours. (Ironically, Most of you know that I am a teacher and have 25 minutes or so to eat my lunch, and that includes a trip to the bathroom or the copy machine, and even returning a phone call, so somehow I do actually eat my lunch then.)

2. I have terribly "flat feet", really I have NO arches. All you regular people know that you will leave wet footprints or footprints on the beach of your toes and heals, and the rest is arch. Not so for Helen. You see my whole big, flat foot. Being plantar challenged is actually annoying because you don't always fit in fun shoes, and it causes pain in your ankles, knees, and lowerback, so like Gretchen at Dandelion Garden, I'm cracking all over the place.

3. I love Disney World. Sigh. I was the last kid in Andover to ever go, not till 8th grade. I've loved all 6 visits. Love the cleanliness, and communism of the whole thing.

4. I am addicted to Facebook. I don't know what I will do when I start school again. Is it bad that I start a lot of conversations with, "in my status update..."

5. I am gigantically disorganized. I like to say that the state of things, like my living room, reflect what is going on inside my head. (I'm an artist you know:)

6. I love TV, pure and simple. It has long been a very good friend. Cannot function without it. Always need the background noise of some familiar show or movie (Pride and Prejudice, Veronica Mars, Alias)

Mommy stole all the bloggers I know except the men, Husband and M, so I'll try them and add a few real life friends non-blogging friends, MOTC, Natiqua, Amy and a blogger on facebook, the other sister, Stacey.

Breaking News- Donna out!



Bad News, 9-0 fans! Tori Spelling is OUT! Apparently she got word that Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were to be paid 40,000-50,000 dollars an episode and she was being offered only 20,000!

What do we think? Will the show be the same with vacant Donna? Is she smart to play hard ball?

Yet another veteran returns

Guess who else has signed on? The lovely Ann Gillespie, a.k.a. Jackie Taylor (Silver).




So, at this point, I wish they would just can the new cast. I mean, who wants to see them anyway. Just bring back all of our old favorites!
