Some New Shows I'm Watching

I discovered a new show: Majority Rules.

It's on the Family Channel. It's about a teenaged-girl that gets elected mayor.

I have seen a few episodes. This girl is smart and liked. She has good friends and is helped in the office by a great assistant. I don't know the character names yet.

The show doesn't really move too quick or really get my attention. It does start out with a problem and ends with a solution.

The girl is conflicted between her life as a teenager and as a mayor. I want to see if it gets better.

Let's turn to ICarly.

I have become addicted to this show. I would love to play the part of Spencer. He gets to be the big brother of Carly. Carly is smart and good looking. On the show they don't show her as being big on her looks. That works for me too. She is sweet and would be a pleasure to be related to.

I am too old to think about her as a hot girl but if I were her age I think I would have a drooling problem.

Spencer is a fun big brother and succeeds in being a good guardian.

Samantha (Sam) is fun and scary. If she hates you look out but if she is your friend you should fear almost nothing. The character is shown to be a bully and gets into trouble often. When we get to know her we see that this is her way of having an individual identity.

Freddie love Carly but may just have a relationship with Sam before Carly gets tired of saying no to Freddie.

The other characters are fun but until further notice they are fillers to me. No offense. I guess I just have to watch the show more.

Let me just mention the other characters I remember. First there is Freddie's mom. She wants to protect him from everything. There is Gibby. He's annoying neighbor kid who is actually good friends with the gang after everything. There is the funny doorman--or building manager. He is like Gilbert Gotfried (I think I spelled that right).

Okay now tell me your thoughts or I'll sing.

Me and my television

I love television but I especially love television comedy.

I love watching sitcoms, talk shows, reality comedy shows, stand up comedy, cartoons, and much much more.

I watch shows that appeal to a variety of ages. I watch cartoons aimed at kids. I also watch cartoons that are adult entertainment.

There are sitcoms that are mainly aimed at a youth audience but because there are celebrities from shows that older audiences recognize more people are able to enjoy those shows. An example of this is Hannah Montana.

Hanna Montana (Mylie Cyrus) is new to television, basically, but her father, Dolly Parton, Brooke Shields, Vicki Lawrence, and other stars from the recent past have entertained us in the past and even up to recent times. This brings the old and the new together.

We all remember "Achy Breaky Heart", Dolly Parton (I don't need to elaborate), Brooke Shields in Blue Lagoon and other movies, Vicki Lawrence on the Carol Burnett show, and others in other shows and movies.

Hannah Montana, the show, mixes family fun with some simple moral lessons, but mostly the show is about fun. We see what the life of a celebrity can be like. Hannah is often level-headed but just as often she finds her celebrity status hard to handle. Her father, brother, and friends help her keep a level head.

Mylie Cyrus has been a good model for kids over the years but her activities have been questionable lately. Her father has told the media/press that he regrets what Mylie's fame has done to his life and her life.

Watch the show. It's fun and it will make you forget your troubles for about half an hour. You won't lose any brain cells, like if you drank or smoked. You don't need many brain cells to enjoy the show.

I think life should be 80% fun and 20% work.

I hope you can have fun often. Earn some money and then party like there's no tomorrow.....just kidding. Tell me what you think of television comedy. What are your favorite shows, celebrities, and moments.

"I'm not cleaning that up." --- Tell me where I got that quote.
