I'm A Couch Potato (for this week only)

I can't seem to remove myself from in front of the t.v. This was one H-O-T-T week for television.

Let's start with America's Next Top Model:
I am too psyched that Danielle won. When cycle 7 began, I was rooting for Nnenna and Danielle. When Nnenna was booted off ( I think she was misunderstood) my pom-poms began to cheer for Danielle. I was a little tired of the judges always pointing out her southern girl accent as a hindrance but she worked "it" nonetheless. I have to admit there was a moment there when I thought Joanie would win. I liked her too. I could not stand Jade from the minute she introduced herself to the judges. What really did her in was when the designers from Thailand reviewed her commercial and said the picture was good but looking at her take, they would not buy anything from her. Karma can be a mutha! Guess she didn't know everything.

The one thing my girls have been up in arms about is the merger between UPN and the
WB networks. The new CW network is supposed to be geared for a younger audience but what has a lot of people upset is a lot of "urban" shows would not make the cut. Translated, "Girlfriends" was a big IF, MAYBE, WE'LL SEE. WHHHAAAATTT! I can't live without the selfish antics of Toni, the bare my soul honesty of Lynn, the been there, done that, and "oh hell yes" attitude of Maya and the so self absorbed and left out in the cold Joan. Sprinkle a little but of William's humor on top and Girlfriends became a staple for Monday nights. Well, The CW just announced their new fall lineup and Girlfriends is here to stay! WOO HOO!. They will be on on Sunday nights along with Everbody Hates Chris.

Smallville has also been renewed (Tom Welling is my guilty pleasure... mmm, mm, mm) but I may have to give him up cause he is competing with the finest man on television. I can't give up Shazaa ( y'all know ya'll loved him in a Different World) Gary Dourdan and his fine self on CSI has me trading in my Mac for beakers and goggles. I can not wait for the season finale tonight. I tried looking at the site and guessing at the clues to determine the outcome of tonight's show. All I can tell is that Warrick is not wearing a wedding ring anymore, Grissom's hand is open and he is looking at Sarah, Nick has a cut (blood) on his neck and the person lying on the counter with a gun shot wound has a police badge hanging out of his pocket. No doubt that is Brass.

After CSI, Withoout a Trace's season finale is coming on. I am just praying that my mother doesn't call me at that time. She always seems to call when my "shows" are on. LOL, Gotta love her.

Well, I have moved my knitting basket full of UFO's to the other table to make way for the popcorn because there will be no knitting going on. Don't get me started on Friday's lineup. :-)
