It is New Years Eve, which means many of us will be staying home or having people over.  In true New Years Eve tradition there are a couple of countdown to 2009 type shows that will be on. My all time favorite New Years Eve show is of course Dick Clark’s Rockin Eve, even with Ryan Seacrest thrown into the mix I still like it. It airs on ABC. Then there is the Carson Daly Show that is on NBC. Now I am not a fan of Carson but hey toeach his own. And the only other one I know of is the Anderson Cooper one on CNN. There could be more out there that I am missing but I think those are the main ones. You will need to check local listings for all shows. So like I said if you are staying for whatever reason turn on a countdown show. I would like to wish all my faithful readers a happy and very safe New Years.

Whitney Port has left The Hills for The City, I am sure most of you already know this information. Now my question is, how many of you watched the premiere of the City last night? I admit I only caught bits and pieces of the show, but it is of course set up on my DVR and it will be watched very soon. That being said from just the little bit I saw, the show looked really good. Granted it is was the first show and Whitney is my favorite character from The Hills so I am rooting for her show to do good.  Plus I feel like Whitney was really underrated and unused on The Hills so I am interested to find out what Whitney is really like, especially without all of Lauren’s drama. My favorite part of the show is going to be Whitney’s job at Diane Von Furstenberg. I hope that we get to see some really good behind the scenes stuff. Plus being a New Yorker, I obviously like that it is filmed in New York. Ok so if you watched the show let me know your thoughts.

Tomorrow night MTV will debut the new show Bromance with Brody Jenner. The show basically is a Reality competition show for guys to compete to be apart of Brody Jenner’s entourage. You know since he and Spencer Pratt are no longer friends there is apparently a void that needs to be filled. So what better way to find a new pal then by doing a Reality show right? The wannabe Brody pals will compete in challenged that test their loyalty and of course compatibility along with some other ridiculous crap to prove they are worthy of hanging with Jenner. I have heard about this show for awhile and have even seen some previews clips and all I can really say is does Brody Jenner really deserve his own show? Not only that but why does he think he is so worthy of guys competing to hang with him, I mean granted there clearly are guys who want to, but all that aside I think Brody is a jerk who is completely full of himself. The Hills star obviously thinks that being a Reality TV “star” makes him way more important that he really is. Now all of that being said will I still watch Bromance, probably an episode to see just how bad it is, yes I already have judged the show. Anyway so I clearly don’t think Brody deserves his own show, what do you think? If you want to check out Bromance tune in to MTV tomorrow night at 9PM EST.

Jericho fans can thank The CW for reviving the show. In an interesting move The CW recently revamped its Sunday Night line up and added the show Jericho to their schedule. I for one am psyched. I love Jericho and was so upset when CBS cancelled the show.  I am telling you there are Jericho fans out there and I feel like CBS did not give the show the time it deserved to build up the ratings. I plan on tuning in every Sunday Night at 7PM EST to relive the excitement, drama, romance and well all around greatness that was Jericho. Plus Skeet Ulrich is so hot and amazing in the show he alone is worth watching the show. All that said though if you are a Jericho fan then don’t forget to watch it each Sunday and if you are not a fan then check it out. It is truly one of the greatest shows of all time. Seriously it is. I have the show on DVD and will still tune it to watch it on The CW. In fact I won’t even DVR it, I will watch it live. That alone should tell you how freaking great of a show Jericho is. Alright I think I have gotten my point across, Jericho, tune in Sundays on The CW.

I wrote a blog a few months ago about how SOAPNet has completely gotten away from Soaps by airing movies when they could be airing like a weeks worth of shows. Well to further prove my point SOAPNet is gettimg ,more into Reality TV.  Now before I continue I want to say that I love Reality TV, I am a huge fan, so this is not at all about that. Ok so that being said SOAPNet is going to air a Reality show with Greg Behrendt, you know the guy who wrote He’s Just Not That Into You, well apparently he is going to help people with their relationships. I have no opinion on the show because I haven’t seen it, so it could be good but I just don’t think it belongs on SOAPNet at all. SOAPNet is for Soap Operas not Reality TV. Plus I have read that SOAPNet has a few other Reality TV shows in the works too. Yeah I think the powers that be at SOAPNet need to remember that the network is called SOAPNet for a reason. Stop with the Reality TV crap and give me some Soap Opera’s. That is all I have to say on the subject.

Every year NBC airs the movie It’A Wonderful Life and every year I say I am going to watch it. In fact last year I even DVR’d it and I never watched it. Well this year I finally sat down and enjoyed this amazing classic Holiday movie. I have to say this might be one of the best movies I have ever seen. I love that NBC has made this such a Holiday classic. I have a feeling this will now become part of my Holiday tradition. I know it is the day after Christmas and I am stil writing about Holiday stuff but I really just wanted to give all my readers a heads up for next year, be sure you watch It’ A Wonderful lif. It will make your Holidays even better. Ok I am now off to find some after Christmas sales.

So every year there are certain TV stations that literally show the Yuletide log all day long on Christmas Some of them play Christmas music and some don’t. Although I am not a huge fan of the whole Yuletide log thing I can totally see why stations do it. On a day were most people are not watching TV this is a relatively cheap way to air something and is really the only option besides going black, which no one wants at all. As I said I am not a huge fan because I would rather watch actually Holiday programming. It can make a pretty background though for those of you who are entertaining people. Please check your local listing for stations in your area which have the Yuletide log.
Here is wishing you all my faithful readers a happy and safe holiday.

Well it is Christmas Eve and that means tomorrow is the Walt Disney Christmas Day Parade. The fun begins at 10AM on ABC. As I said before I am a huge fan of certain parades and this is definitely one of them. Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin are again hosting the extravaganza. There will be great acts such ad Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers and David Cook will sing some Christmas hits to get everyone in the mood. The parade comes to you from obviously Disney World which means we can be sure to expect some of our favorite characters such as Mickey and Minnie, etc. This parade is a tradition in my household, even if it is just background noise it is always on. Alright that being said enjoy the parade and have a fabulous Christmas Eve and Day.

This time of year always brings out those best of the year type shows and tonight is the first one that I know of anyway. The Funniest Commercials of The Year airs tonight at 9PM EST on TBS. Weeds Kevin Nelson hosts the countdown of super funny commercials. The Michael Phelps one where is he signing autographs with his toes for Rosetta Stone is apparently on the list. I am sitting here as I write this trying to think of any funny commercial of the year and I can’t. I know there are some out there I feel like I am just trying too hard to think of it, totally beside the point. Anyway I will most likely watch this show because the curiosity will get the best of me. Plus there is really nothing else on, so if you want a good laugh then tune in to The Funniest Commercials of The Year.

Tonight’s season finale of The Hills hasn’t even aired yet and there is already controversy surrounding it. The previews for this week show Heidi and Spencer at a courthouse making their marriage legal. Well the day after the previews were shown the LA county courthouse released a statement saying MTV was allowed in the courthouse to film after hours. Furthermore they made it clear that the judge in the scene was not a judge of LA county. So basically it seems that The Hills are trying to make us viewers believe that The Hills is real when it is fake. Does this mean that Heidi and Spencer are just faking being married for publicity? I think that is true. I find it so funny that the producers of The Hills have not realized that the cast is a part of a media frenzy and the truth can not be kept from the public, especially with bloggers such as Perezhilton. Either way fake or not, controversy and all I am super psyched for this finale. I know I bash it but I can’t stop watching and loving it. Tune in tonight at 10PM EST for The Hills finale on MTV.
