Soul Patrol!!!

Taylor won! That's what I'm talking 'bout! Couple comments from the show...Toni Braxton and Meatloaf were awful and that's being nice. Mary J. was good but she sure was wired...must've hit a few Red Bulls backstage. LOL! Prince at the end of the show was phat! He's still da man! My Yankees won too so it's been a good night.

Remember...Shakin' tomorrow evening! C'mon down for a few beverages. Later...

Wednesday folks...

Yo people! All I know is that Taylor had better beat Katherine on Idol or I'm gonna be pissed off. LOL! Not dissin' Katherine or anything...it's just Taylor has his own sound unlike any other. Almost like a Joe Cocker/Bruce Springsteen mix, ya dig? We'll see on the finale tonight at 9pm EST.

Shakin' is tomorrow...Findells are playing...6:30 to 8:30pm. Be there! Have a good day, folks! I'm gonna daydream about the steaks I'm hookin' up on the grill this evening. Holla...

Happy friggin' Tuesday...

Morning dummies! Another day in the neighborhood. The Findells are playing at Shakin' this Thursday so come on out for a few beverages, ya heard me?! LOL! For you sports fans out there...Suns over the Clippers and the Mavs over the Spurs, both in game 7. I think the Mavs will get the Suns but it may go another 7. Dirk of the Mavs was off the chain last night...dropped in 37 and swept 15 off the glass. Today is also lottery day in the NBA so I hope my Rockets pull that rabbit's foot (and the 1st pick) outta dat ass! Have a good day and I'm out....

Funny stuff...

The Simpsons: Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play (finale)


By Adam Finley on tabitha vixx









Filed under: , ,



simpsons(S17E22)


Buck Mitchell [after causing the Duff blimp to crash]: This is the worst blimp crash ever!


Grandpa: Too soon!


Okay, that exchange cracked me up, as did a few other moments during this episode, such as the television show "Hunch" the family watches in the beginning of the episode which list JD Salinger as a writer in the closing credits. I also liked the "Sexy Marriage Land" song performed by Tabitha Vixx (voiced by Mandy Moore), and Homer becoming indignant towards Marge because she insists on judging him on things he's done, which is so totally unfair.



And that's the thing about The Simpsons. While this episode did have me cracking up a few times, as a whole I felt it could have been better. In this episode, Marge and Homer counsel a minor league baseball player, Buck Mitchell (voiced by Stacy Keach) and his wife, the aforementioned Tabitha, after she performs a rather risque version of "The Star Spangled Banner" during one of the Springfield Isotopes' home games. They hit a snag, however, when Buck thinks Tabitha cheated on him with Homer. In reality, he just gave her a chicken grease neck rub.


I think my main problem with this episode was seeing too many gags that, while funny, seemed like they came a bit to easy for the Simpsons writers, such as Homer talking to a piece of chicken like it was a woman he was hitting on, and Homer also dumping a sackful of baseballs out of a sack too small to actually hold that many baseballs. While I won't write this episode off as a total loss, I can't say it did much for me, either.

Do you agree? I sure as hell don't! Will & Grace was da bomb!

Will & Grace: The Finale (series finale)


By Richard Keller on WillTruman









Filed under: , , ,



The cast of Will & Grace(S08E23) There are those who are die-hard fans of Will & Grace, which premiered on the NBC schedule back in 1998. Then there are those who despise the show, which is about the relationship between Grace Adler (Debra Messing) and her gay friend Will Truman (Eric McCormack). The fans love the back-and-forth between the two characters and the dynamic of their relationship. Those who hate the show may be uncomfortable with the subject matter (homosexuality) or the cartoon-ish characterizations of Will and Grace's friends Jack McFarland (Sean Hayes) and Karen Walker (Megan Mullally ), or the fact that it's just not funny.


I fall under neither category. I liked Will & Grace, but was not a huge fan. I'd watch it if I happened to see something interesting going on, and I'd laugh at a few of the lines (not as heartily as I would laugh during an episode of Scrubs, though). Yet, Jack annoyed me sometimes and the influx of guest stars on the show was somewhat distracting. In fact, over the last few years I didn't really follow it at all.


However, as this would be the last episode of the series, I decided to give it a review. My opinion on the last show of the series? Meh.



For the most part this series finale was okay. The basic theme of the episode was destiny: no matter what separated Will and Grace throughout their lives (marriage, raising children) the connection that they had would always remain. Director and Executive Producer James Burrows presented this well, although a bit disjointedly, as the episode jumped in time to a point approximately 20 years in the future (which, according to Will, is when George Clooney returns to ER, in its 33rd season). It was interesting to see that even the son and daughter of the two characters would have the same chemistry as their parents (although, they would get married in the end, unlike WIll and Grace).


I had an issue with the subplot, which involved Jack prostituting himself out to diminutive millionaire Beverly Leslie (Leslie Jordan) in order for Karen, whose huge divoce settlement was nullfied, to live the life of luxury she was used to. It just felt very unreal compared to other things going on during the show. Things got back on track towards the end as Karen, who was living with Jack for the last 20 years, professed that was the best, and longest, relationship she had.


In the end the show came down to what it was all about in the first place: friendship and the bonds that tie people together. As the four friends drank together at the local bar you realized that, no matter what went on in their lives, they would always have a connection.


While not as satisfying as, say, the Friends finale (I mean, Rachel and Ross get back together. C'mon!) or as crushing as the Seinfeld finale (need I say more?), the series finale to Will & Grace did have its moments and came back to the original concept of friendship among a close group of people. There were some moments where I did laugh out loud, but they were few. I also enjoyed the duet of Unforgivable Unforgettable by Karen and Jack (who have very nice singing voices), but I didn't understand what it was doing for the plot.


While it had a good run I think the time was ripe to move on to make way for the new generation of comedies, such as My Name is Earl and The Office. So long Will & Grace; thanks for hanging in there for so long.
