The Weekly Pulse: TV's Second Wife

Archive

Well I ran out of time this week. Why? Because I had to play catch up and finish two recaps each of ‘The O.C.’ and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’. Yeah..that’s right..I did it for YOU! So thank you very much and you’re welcome.

Not much to say nor the time to say it, but I would like to say congrats to Taylor for winning ‘American Idol’. I knew a guy would win it..Kat just scared me for a second. I was right with one thing in my predictions. I said Kat was the best girl this year and she was the last girl in the competition. So props to me!

Okay..the “Best ‘Big Brother’ Houseguest EVER!” tournament is going strong! I got a lot of voter support for the first week. Thanks and keep it up! We start week 2! Keep reading.

But first..here is a look at the week that was at IPTV!

Seinfeld Quote of the Week

“No, look away, I’m hideous!”Kramer

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…

Columns a.k.a. It’s Almost the End of One Season!!

Romo finishes up his “upfront” announcements this week, since he missed the deadline last week. He has The CW! I only watch ‘Everybody Hates Chris’ and if that show is at 7 instead of 8 on Sundays..that will be great! Since it won’t conflict with ‘The Amazing Race’. Other than that..no thoughts. Romo’s last network is FOX! They keep ‘The O.C.’ at the same time, which is not good for them or me. Two shows at the same time and both of them..I recap. Awful!

Craig Russell has his thoughts on the new schedules for each network. He talks about the past, the present, and the future of each of the major networks. He starts with NBC, followed by ABC, then CBS, followed by FOX and finishing up with The CW! All of his thoughts are there..so get to it!

DeeDee chats up ‘American Idol’. She talks about the “Big 3” and their performances from last week. She should have comments on the finale soon!

Sarah Quigley takes a look at ‘The Apprentice’ and last week’s episode as well. A little preview for the finale as well. Comments on that should be up soon!

Matt Basilo is a little brief this week. He has comments on ‘The O.C.’, ’24’, and ‘Lost’! That’s about it, but it’s good enough. More comments on ’24’ and ‘Lost’ finales are coming up next week!

Farah Syed has thoughts on the finale of ‘The O.C.’. More to do with the end and the death scene. I don’t totally agree, but go read what she thought anyways. Difference of opinions are cool!

Kevin Wong has a review of the entire season of shows that he watched. Those shows include ’24’, ‘The Amazing Race’, ‘American Idol’, ‘CSI’, ‘CSI: Miami’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘CSI: New York’, ‘Law & Order: SVU’, and ‘Lost’! Check it all out!

Recaps a.k.a. The Rest of the End!!

Romo and Rob Purchase finish off ’24’ for another season! Now they have to wait 7 months!

I am all caught up in my recapping duties! I take care of the last two episodes of ‘The O.C.’ right here and there! I do the same with ‘Grey’s Anatomy’. I have Part 1 and Part 2 of that season finale! I only have to wait 3 months! Of course, both of these shows air at the same time now!

Kevin Wong has the final performances from the “Final 2”! Of course, you now know that Taylor won! Yes! A guy won!

This week we had 4 TV on DVD reviews! None by me again!

Travis Leamons goes to the hospital to hang with some wacky doctors! He reviews Scrubs – The Complete Third Season!

John Cavanagh has a special mini-series that he reviewed. It was on the Sci-Fi network and it is called The Triangle! No one gets out of it! No one! Wait..what kind of triangle are we talking about? He also had time to do something that I did not too long ago. He got to review Everybody Loves Raymond: The Complete Fifth Season! I took care of season #6 a few weeks back!

Scott Keith has some animated love for American Dad – Volume 1! Better than ‘Family Guy’? Hmm…

Celebrities a.k.a. NOTHING!!!

Not a single thing this week! It could be a trend for the summer or we could shock you with new celebs! Stay tuned!

The only thing I will say about those results is one interesting trend I saw. Whenever a person from the last three seasons of ‘Big Brother’ (#4, #5, #6) went against someone from the first three seasons..the one from the most recent seasons ALWAYS won! Lets see if the continues.

We start the voting for Group #2 this week! Remember..to help with your voting, you may need a reminder of who these people were. So I suggest you go to these websites to refresh your memory on Seasons #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6!
