Television's Mid-Season

As January 2011 draws to a close, I have had the opportunity to watch several new shows: a few which were highly anticipated, and others, not so much.  Since this blog is not entirely devoted to television, I won't spend a lot of time reviewing the programs I've seen.  There are a few I'll mention:

The Final Word

I've been reading and writing about Ricky Gervais all week - don't know about you, but I'm tired of it (at least for now).  So, in the interest of closure - just a few more thoughts.  Through a variety of forums,e.g., The Piers Morgan Show, Ricky has spoken.  In answer to those who criticized his Golden Globes performance he basically stated that he didn't care what others felt - he was hired to do a job, he did it, next time don't hire him; words to that effect.  I agree.  Mr. gervais is getting on with his life - his animated program for HBO, The Ricky Gervais show has premiered.  He and Stephen Merchant have launched, An Idiot Abroad for the Science Channel (haven't seen it yet; it premieres tonight, so will write about it later).  He is still a comedy genius, in my humble opinion.
O.K. - are we finished?

Can We Talk About Ricky G.

O.K. - We all saw The Golden Globes last night, right?  If this is a true statement, then you have an opinion about how well Ricky Gervais performed his hosting duties.  I have visited several entertainment/news sites - they all have a lot to say about the show, in general, and Mr. Gervais, in particular.  If you're of the mind - you can dish about Ricky here.

The Golden Globes Awards

As many of you know, the 68th Annual Golden Globes Awards will be telecast tonight on NBC at 8 pm (EST).  This event, which honors the best in the creative arts as determined by members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), is generally seen as a precursor

Anything and Everything

I've discovered that I like to blog - I'm so very opinionated and can't always find a forum for my thoughts ( some might call them my rants).  I'm fairly new to the idea of "networking" - I've only been on facebook now, for about 8 months - (don't like it much).  Through that outlet, I found out about http://www.getglue.com/(a little better) and then, http://www.tv.com/- where I also have a blog.
