I grew up on watching TV Shows of the 50s,60s& 70s ! I spent more time in the 80's working & Partying to watch as much tv as listening to radio. I also grew up on the Radio stations of NYC in the late 50s&60s , which taught me Music also.I love Sex,Drugs & R&R but don't abuse anyone or anything , Just saying !

The Blacklist

Another ,show I am so glad they are back for Season 2 , with some great guest appearance in opener , Nancy Botwin of WEEDS Aka Mary Louise Parker , who is just one of my Favorite actresses ever since "Fried Green Tomatoes" Turns out she had been married to Reddington, James Spader's character ....as laidback and dangerous with a touch of Sherlock Holmes dipped into his character. Great season opener !

I loved it ! It was witty ,definitely fast-paced with a new cast of talented young kids including Katherine McFee from AI & Smash !Plus a few well known faces ,especially Robert Patrick.Basically , the government hires the new Generation of extremely bright and brave young people that are highly talented in using computers and science.with a few tricks up their sleeves ! If the scripts keep to the same intense and witty pilot , they maybe around for awhile.So Far,So Really Good !

Even Bill Maher commented, that this was the best Talk Show on TV ! My only complaint would be , why couldn't they get out of the Car and go get a Beer once in a while; and I don't mean get drunk , just a few cold ones ! Also with so many mid-term elections coming up , how about : A few comedians meet in Colorado to discuss the Mid-term elections and referendums over a a big Fat joint!
But ,not being a coffee lover and un-able to drink much more then a glass of beer anymore , w/o feeling like shite.....I go for the big fat one....but until then ,enjoy Jerry ,who has always been a gifted Comedian and conversationalist , with many of today's top Comedians at his disposal!

Hell's Kitchen

As a Retired Chef , it really is scary how many Bad Cooks claim to be Chefs , but Chef Ramsay always seems to Weed out the fakes but in the beginning it isn't always easy to tell who will be there in the end! I always wondered to people have to pay to eat there and is someone else taking over the cooking , when Chef throws the lot of the Red & Blue Team out of The Kitchen ! It amazes me , no one has cheap-shotted Chef , after he gives a tongue -lashing & debasing ! Great drama amongst competitors , and as a Chef , you really do scream at your cooks and belittle them in the heat of the moment. Well I did but when I hired cooks I let them know , what Hell to expect....that was long before Chef Ramsay became a Star on the Tube. I still believe he saw me screaming in my Restaurant long ago and copied my behavior , except I threw stuff at my cooks and apologized , only if I made contact !

An interesting look at a Planet that has been invaded and the Aliens that have joined the population , kind of the old West with Marshall Earp meets the Aliens !

% Seasons and Annie Walker is still doing a great job , saving our country from Enemies here and overseas ,while managing to look hot thru whole episodes ! Plus a great supporting cast , including some bad guys I've grown to hate on every show they're on ! Start watching from the Beginning , every season has been worth it ,so far !

Outlander

Never read the Books , and I waited to write my review til I saw 2 episodes, because Ep. 1 is basically the story setting up how Claire comes to find the stone , that sends her thru the time portals into the past. Now the 2nd Ep.
reveals to the time where she has been transported to , along with all of us viewers ! Fantastic , is how the acting & landscapes have made me feel like we are in 1743 Scotland. A time of War and lets face it; so far different an existence most would be scared to death. You sense Claire's fear but due to her slight knowledge derived from visiting the area in the future with her husband's stories of these past times ; she quickly adapts herself to pretend that she is from this time period. If you love Fantasy with a good story in it , Outlander is one of the best new shows to invest your viewing time enjoying . I found myself wanting to see more of the story ,especially with the ending in Ep.2 !

Season 2 episodes get even more interesting and a new Snidely Whiplash !
Well the last episode finally inspired me to write a review on EXTANT !
It doesn't look good for old Planet earth , but great for us viewers to
understand a little more of WTF is going on at the ISEA !
As most really interesting sci-fi shows usually take a whole season before we develop an idea of the whole plot ! I for one enjoy the intrigue that is developing , it puts allot of weight on the human family ties that
we are very committed to. Plus the android being raised as a child of its creator and his astronaut wife , may become a hero , as the show goes on. Now we can only hope the suits don't screw the viewers of Extant and cancel it , like they have a tendency to do , just when shows get more interesting as we get deeper into the story ! The finale of StarCrossed ! a prime example or The Event !
I want to write a show where a group of sci-fi fans tired of the choices made by Network Suits , start taking Suits captive , spreading the fear into them ; not to cancel shows til at least the end of the 2nd season !!! ( a strange cry of anger ,heard in the background ! with a hellish laugh to follow ! )

A interesting look at how a Town survives being trapped in a situation where nobody is what they seem and everyone is stuck in a small town with no way out ! Or is there , and so far its been interesting enough to keep me wanting to find out more , which ep.7 of the 2nd Season introduced a new twist ,that leads us out. But has not revealed the reason who & what purpose it is really there for!
