'The Lying Game' Season 2 Rates an A

season 2 of 'the lying game' ended it's second season part 1 with a bunch of surprises. a major character's demise, we think, was a shocker. there were twists and turns all season and the finale keeps us wanting, begging, for more. the cast has soooo much talent. there is not a missing link among them. allie gonino, blair redford, helen slater, tyler christopher, charisma carpenter, adrian pasdar and alice greczyn shine above the rest. but that is quibbling. but it is alexandra chando who truly shines as emma/sutton who have played a dangerous lying game and brought the rest of the cast into their web of lies. i know season 2 part 2 has been filled but oddly left off abcfamily's summer roster.

i can only hope it will be back soon. it is the perfect companion piece following 'pretty little liars' on tuesday nights.

 

Josh's Jukebox: 'Everybody Loves You Now'

from the soundtrack of my life

'smash' is having a less than stellar sophmore season that may well be it's last season. the fact that nbc has just moved the remaining episodes of the season to saturday night really has sounded the death rattle for this once promising series. as a musical officiando and lover this great idea has hit rock bottom and deserves cancellation. it's a damn shame. why did it go wrong? that may be one of the big questions of the past tv seasons. well bad writing, incoherent subplots and some really bad musical choices are a few of the reasons. there was good talent wasted. that's a shame. all and all 'smash' is, was, a shame and damn it that's the shame.
season 2 rates a C and i am being kind
 this billy joel cover has been one of very few highlights this season.

Francis 1

francis 1! my first impression is he took the name of catholicism's most humble man...the friar from assissi. from argentina i hear he is a humble man. a man who's focus as priest and bishop has been for the poor and downtrodden. and wow that smile we saw today on that balcony. somehow and somewhere within me i see hope for the church i left years ago. i hope he can fix the broken vatican machine. fix the church of rome.although i disagree with him on contraception and gay marriage i wish him well.

This Week We Said Goodbye to J.R. Ewing and Claudia Joy Holden

two of tv's most beloved characters passed this week.

kim delaney is gone from 'army wives' as claudia joy holden. it's hard to imagine the series without her. she was the heart, soul and center of the show.

larry hagman's real life passing meant the passing of tv icon j r ewing. this brings up the decade old adage 'who shot j r?'

Valerie

i admit i was a basket case watching valerie on 'the doctors' yesterday.

here she is on the' today' show talking about her fatal diagnosis.

she is a brave woman.

she made us laugh as rhoda. now we shed some tears for her.

we wish her well and send love and good thoughts her way.

here's valerie:

'Life of Pi' Release Today on DVD, Bluray and 3D ****stars

oscar winner 'life of pi' is possibly the most beautiful film i have ever seen. this****star ang lee directed film well deserved the oscar for best director insofar as ben affleck was not nominated.  if you missed it in the theater rent it or buy it.

Goodbye Sybil

i have avoided writing anything about season 3 of 'downton abbey' so as not to spoil anything for anybody who did not know about the 2 deaths that occurred. my moratorium is up. the ever lovely jessica brown findlay opted to leave the show when her contract was up. that left the rest of us to deal with the death of lady sybil. good for her: lousy for us. i loved ms findlay in this series and will miss her character as well as the actress. i wish jessica all the luck in her career and hope to see here soon on the big and small screen.

'Client List' and 'Army Wives' Return Tonight

a guilty pleasure for sure. the sophmore season of 'the client list' returns for it's sophmore season tonight. season 1 gets a B and we'll see where this goes.

here's my problem: most of the original cast is now gone. they are killing kim delaney off tonight. she was the center and the heart of this series. in my mind it's a whole new series and i'll give it a shot. the new characters have a lot to live up t0o. maybe the wonderful catherine bell can hold it together.
