TV Talk: Thursday Musings – October 30, 2008 – Smallville, Ugly Betty, Real Housewives of Atlanta

Hi everyone, another TV talk for Thursday, October 30, 2008.

I have to say that there is something crappy going on with the CW in terms of programming in my area. It happened on Tuesday while watching and the video would cut off (no sound or video, just black screen) and all my other channels were working.

So, tried to catch this “Lois and Clark” episode of “Smallville” on the CW and what do you know…for the whole hour….no show. Maybe once I saw the feed comeback for 10 seconds and then it disappeared. So, not sure if this is a national thing but if it’s a local problem, I’m very disappointed.

Fortunately, “Ugly Betty” on ABC was on. In episode 6 for season 3 titled “Ugly Berry”, tthings start to ramp up between the hostility of Betty and her frienemy Kimmie (Lindsey Lohan). In this episode, we get to see Daniel’s (Eric Mabius) plan revealed to take back his family’s company from Willhelmina (Vanessa Williams). But of course, the main storyline of how Betty, Marc and Amanda concoct a plan to get Kimmie fired. Video was from last week’s episode but wanted to show how Betty and Kimmie are just like oil and water.

Caught a replay of the latest episode of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”. DeShawn Snow (wife of Cleveland Cavalier’s basketball player Eric Snow) has a charity auction event which doesn’t go quite well. A very good episode but I can tell that the next episode is when the fireworks flare up! Whoah!

Then it was “Gray’s Anatomy” which I had to DVR, wife watched her favorite Food Network show “Ace of Cakes” and later in the night, I ended up watching “Late Night with David Letterman” episodes I missed for the week. You just gotta love the appearances of Regis Philbin on Letterman. The two are friends but their banter with each other is quite fun to watch.

Btw, anyone have that moment where you noticed that you have only so much space left on your DVR and you take too much time to figure out what to delete and what to keep?
