Gangland

 
Gangland airs on the History Channel.  Check your local listings.

Gangland is a documentary show about all types of gangs from all over the United States.  Some are street gangs and others are biker gangs. They’re Hispanic, Black and White. These bastards rape, kill, sell drugs and commit any other despicable crime you can think of.  They interview existing and former members. The existing members are still under the spell of this mysterious and powerful brotherhood for life. It’s as if they are brain washed. The former gang members know the truth. There is no future in being in a gang. They all wish they could get that time of their life back. When they go to jail their “brothers” on the outside abandon them and some even kill members in their gang. This show proves that joining a gang is stupid and a waste of your life. The reenactments and interviews from real gang members make this show a hit. To learn how different types of gangs operate watch Gangland.  

American Ninja Warrior

American Ninja Warrior airs on G4 Sunday at 9pm est. time.  New episodes begin Sunday July 31.

This is the American version of the original show called Ninja Warrior. This is a game show where you have to complete a grueling course. This year there is a prize of $500,000. According to the website only 3 out of 2,600 complete the course. The challenges are built for you to fail. Contestants climb, balance, swing, run, jump and try all sorts of crazy moves to complete the course. Being in perfect physical help is not enough. Very few make it past the first round. They end up busting their ass and falling into dirty water. Watching this show makes my heart race. It’s a constant roller coaster ride of emotions. To watch an obstacle course built from someone’s nightmare watch American Ninja Warrior.   

Amy Winehouse

I was out of town this weekend and when I go out of town I don’t check the internet. So I didn’t find out until today that Amy Winehouse passed away yesterday. Fuck!!!  Feeling really fucking sad. Yeah, yeah, she had addiction problems that were played out in front of the world to see so to some it was no surprise. The fact that it was expected doesn’t ease the pain. You hope that she would overcome it and return to being the soulful singer we all loved. Her music was brilliant and her voice was memorizing. Unfortunately she was not to have the happy ending that we all deserve.

Wicked Attraction

Wicked Attraction airs on Investigation Discovery.  Check your local listing.

This show recounts the stories of two people who for love or other insane reasons decide to commit some of the most heinous crimes imaginable. These pitiful soulless people are fucking MAD, which is why I watch. The duos consist of lovers, friends, spouses, brothers and other relatives. They kidnap, murder, torture and rape innocent people with no remorse. The fact that not one of these two people talks each other out of the crime or contacts the police is baffling. You can feel the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Each new episode is better than the last. To watch two people please each other by hurting others watch Wicked Attractions.    

Bad Teacher

Bad Teacher stars Cameron Diaz, Justine Timberlake and Jason Segel. Cameron plays the worst teacher ever. Her teaching skills are atrocious. She is selfish, lazy and mean. Jason is the gym teacher who is cool and funny. Justine is a millionaire dork. Cameron’s character chases after Justine’s character while Jason’s character chases after her. A predictable storyline with few laughs. It had the potential to be funnier. Actually I saw the movie last week and forgot to blog about it because it was forgettable. The trailer was funnier than the actual movie. If you watch see a movie that is a two out of four watch Bad Teacher.

Ice Loves Coco

Ice Loves Coco airs on E Sunday’s 10:30pm est. time.

It’s a realty show that follows gangster rapper turned great actor Ice T. and his lovely wife Coco. However the shows star is their adorable bulldog Spartacus. He is an aspiring actor with Coco as a stage mom. His even featured in the opening credits. All three of them are funny. I’ve been a fan of Ice T. since the beginning of his career. I didn’t think he was going to succeed as an actor. Boy was I wrong. Very happy for his success. His wife Coco is hottie. Too many couples try to change each other and men usually don’t want other men looking at their women. Ice shows off his wife and allows her to be herself. That is refreshing. Coco can hold herself down. She is a successful business women and on her way to becoming a mogul. They’re an inspiring couple. You can see the ins and outs of their life. The show seems very real; it doesn’t seem forced or scripted. I’m hoping they get signed for a second season. To see a non cookie cutter couple’s love story watch Ice Loves Coco.

The Best Thing I Never Had

Beyonce new album called 4 debuted this week. It went straight to number one. Congrats!!! I love Bey!! I’ve been a fan since the beginning in 97. She deserves all the success as she works her ass off. Her body of work is seducing both lyrically and visually. She is bad from head to toe.  I purchased the album today but have not been able to listen, running errands all day. I will listen once I finish with this post, I’m sure I will love it. I’m feeling “The best thing I never had” a whole lot right now. The great Babyface co-wrote the song. I’m a huge Babyface fan. So it made sense that the song is blazing. Either you love her or not, but credit needs to be given to her success story. Check out the video, you won’t be disappointed.

Mob Wives

Mob Wives airs on VH1. Check your local listing or watch episodes online.

Mob Wives season ended this week. This is a show that I have to watch as I’m married and need to compromise. My husband enjoys the show. I do not. These women are just like the rest of the women from bad but successful realty TV; Basketball wives, Love and Hip Hop, Bad Girls Club and Real Housewives of Bitchville. It’s disgusting how they can’t keep their shit together. They’re a fucking mess. Their phony, loud, some are ugly inside and out. There is too much fucking drama for grown ass women. Everything is an argument and the jealousy is ugly. I don’t like drama. My husband reminded me that I would act like some of them in certain situations which may be true but these heifers act the fool all the time. The saddest part about these shows is that they have children who witness the disaster in person and on TV. How will they turn out?  The egos on these women in astronomical. Yuck!! If your a fan of women overacting for cameras watch Mob Wives.

Ingenious Minds

Ingenious Minds airs on Science Channel, check your local listing.

Ingenious Minds is about Savants and Geniuses. Some of them are talented artist, creating beautiful pieces. Others are great musicians, never had a lesson but they create music that is brilliant. Then you have the calendar savants who can give you the day of any date you give them. I did not know how many different kind of savants exist. It doesn’t matter if their young, old, born with it, or received after an accident these people are hypnotizing. However Ingenious Minds allows us to see that the price they pay for their gift is terrifying. Their usually social outcasts and loners. They view life different that most of us. This show is spellbinding. To get an insight into some of the most brilliant people on earth watch Ingenious Minds.

The Looney Tunes Show

The Looney Tunes Show on The Cartoon Network Tuesday 8pm est. time.  

Today was a lazy Saturday. Hubby had to work so I stayed in bed all day and was shocked to find out Looney Tunes has new episodes on the Cartoon Network. The other day I was trying to find Looney Tunes episodes on Netflix but they don’t have any online that I could find. What a coincidence that today I find the new episodes. Love the new episodes. The animation is outstanding. They’re modern, vibrant and funny. I enjoyed watching several hours today and smiled a lot. Even though they updated Bugs and the crew they integrated the classic catchphrases. Bugs and Daffy are roommates. Bugs girl is Lola and Daffy’s girl is Tina.  Thank you Cartoon Network for bringing back to life Bugs, Daffy, Tweety, Sylvester, Pepe Le Pew, Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner, Speedy Gonzales, Porky Pig, Tasmanian Devil, Marvin the Martian and the rest of the Looney Tunes family. To introduce your offspring to good old fashion new cartoons or if you just looove cartoons like me watch Looney Tunes.

Rescue Me

 

Rescue Me airs on FX Wednesday 10pm est. time. The last season begins July 13.

This is show is raw, scandalize, shocking and fucking awesome. It’s about New York City fire fighters. The characters are beyond belief. The brilliantly disgusting Denis Leary is the leading character Tommy Gavin. He is married to the ever forgiving beautiful Janet (Andrea Roth) and they have several kids. His previous mistress is looney Sheila (Cakkue Thorne). This bitch is crazy. His best friend is chubster Lou (John Scurti) fellow fire fighter. The rest of the fire fighters are clueless Mike (Mile Selitti), dim witted Sean (Steve Pasquale), cool cat Black Shawn (Lorenzo Tate) and pretty boy Franco (Daniel Sunjata). Being a longtime fan of both Denis Leary and Lorenzo Tate and raised in NYC it aroused my curiosity. However I did not watch when the show began, my husband was a cheerleader for the show long before me. I finally gave in to his whining about me watching and bowed at his feet after watching my first episode. As in real life these characters work and personal lives are one big mess. The storylines are ugly and true. Some people don’t want to see that fire fighters are regular people who are not perfect. But they are normal. It will make you laugh, cry, shake your head and relate. To watch one of the most undeniably best shows on time watch Rescue Me.
