Really?  really !  that was what i was told by a friend with her  unlocked phone she bought new – recently.  You see she is in US and she takes a train to work everyday – for an hour!!  yes! can you imagine spending at least 2.5 hrs going to and fro to work?  I can – coz’ I used to do the same on the MRT train.    So she bought this new cell phone so that she can watch u tube while  on the train – that way – she can catch up on news and her favorite tv sitcoms she said.  Amazing right?  these days with technology !  my first cell phone was a CDMA phone that i can only use to call out and not get calls because i was too el cheapo to get a water bottled phone for $1200 but these days – cell phones are so cheap and they are getting better every year.  The unlocked phone that my g/f has – allows her to use it when she is traveling overseas as it works with other GSM service providers around the world.  So yes – from music to movies and now even taking pictures with your unlocked cell phone – pretty amazing eh?

I actually came across this new show by fluke – course – i was looking for coupons for buying some shoes and to shop at Sears online.  You all know how I love the discount and every little bit of savings means a lot to a mother who has a few kids.  I never used to be like this – till i have kids – what about you? are you like that too?  anyhow – while looking for coupons for shoes – i saw this big advertisement on the papers for this new tv show that started in June 2010.  I had thought to myself it was like a kid’s show – so i didn’t think very much about it at that time – afterall, coupons comes first eh haha!

Well, i caught the pilot online a month ago and was quite intrigue by all these pretty gals – yes – all the 4 actresses relatively new to me – but darn pretty and have nice names.  Aria, Hannah, Spencer and Emily.  I was skeptical after the pilot but I still watched it outta curiousity and after going thru’ a few episode – I kinda like it.  Ok – here’s the quick synopsis about it.

Apparently, 4 good friends shares some secret with a girl that went missing – last summer – Allison.   When found dead and buried in her own backyard a few episodes later – the 4 girls start getting text messages from an anonymous person “A” telling the girls she knows all about their secret.  But many episodes later – i’m still confused as to what the secret might be.  It’s a pretty good plot – if you can watch it after the first 3 episodes – but it reminds me a bit about Gossip Girls – the mysterious person behind all those text messages.  Have fun – i’m sure you might like it – not a bad show for the family as well – but not for too, too young kids please.

Fans of Weeds – the pretty housewife turned drug dealer – will be happy to know that Season 6 is out – check out the sneak peek.

Was it good – not bad – but much anticipation – didn’t really work out to be as good as I had hoped – pretty slow and only 25 mins of show – so let me know what you think.  But I’m a big fan of Weeds – just make sure the kids are not around when you watch them.

We were looking for movies that we can watch with our kids – without the nudity or any violence and of course – no horror in it.  So we found Hot in Cleveland that is new sitcom that started only a few months ago – so we are currently playing catch up.

You all know Betty White right?  from the Golden Girls – the a wee bit slow one – hahahah!! even thinking of her role then puts a smile on my face.   And  Wendy Malick from Cheers and as Nina Van Horn from Just Shoot Me.   With Jane Leeves the British actress in Murphy Brown andValerie Anne Bertinelli from One Day At A Time (she – i’m not so familiar with).   All good actresses if i might say so – and in the first episode – i already saw a familiar face – an actor.

The sitcom is about 3 middle age woman who were on their way to Paris but had a detour in Cleveland because of flight problems but instead decided to stay in Cleveland for the rest of their 3 weeks vacation – only to come to love Cleveland because the men there thinks they are beautiful – while in LA everyone is hotter than themselves.  I do like the sitcom – maybe because i can relate to them – so far the kids haven’t gotten bored yet or said yukky things about it – so for now – we’ll keep watching with them – til they get tired of old fart shows – hahah!

So the final season of Lost had been over for some time now – and we’ve just started watching the show – after recording it for months.  Why?  LOST is just a confusing show – I feel that it would be a lot better to wait – for it to end before starting and I’m really glad I did.  We are onto episode 12 right now – and it’s still as confusing as hell!  So i stopped the show last night out of frustration and to take a break and did my lipozene review instead.  I don’t know what you all thought about the show – but if this wasn’t the last season – i’m just about giving up – hahah!   Definitely intriguing but frustrating as well – but I have to take my hat off to the writer of the script for keeping us in suspense for 6 yrs and we still can’t imagine what the real story is all about.  Is it all a dream?  is it some kind of 3rd kind intervention?  Will write more about it – once i’m done – wish me luck now.

I was doing my best ab workout when the kids came running out and shouted – WAREHOUSE 13 IS BACK!   OoooK i said – and instead of letting me finish up with my workout – they wanted me to join them – why?  they are a little scared they said – hahaha! kids!

Well, the season premiere – Time Will Tell was pretty decent I have to say – I didn’t quite got into the show – but only after the kids loved it so much – i decided to humor them.  Last season  – it ended with Arty being blown up and his ex- partner – Macpherson  from a long time ago behind all of it.  We then suspected that Leena was the traitor but impersonating as Claudia and putting her in a very bad position with a object obtained from Warehouse 13.   But we all know that Arty can’t die – else we won’t have Warehouse 13 Season 2 right?  So yes  – you are right – he survived – watch it and see for yourself.  I don’t think you will be disappointed but might complain that it seems short for a premiere.

It’s funny how one can come across all sorts of movies/tv shows while shopping for patio furniture – you see – they always have some movies playing to entice you to sit and try the furniture.  Anyhow, that was where we came across The Good Guys.  I didn’t think much of it after – but the spouse – well, you know he is always looking out for movies where the entire family can watch together especially the boys.

The Good Guys is like an old school cop tv sitcom – very much like Cagney &  Lacey from the 80s – but not quite the same.   Anyhow, this tv sitcom started in May and we’ve already watched quite a few episodes  and although it isn’t a spectacular tv show – it is definitely funny in some ways and a show that the entire family can watch.   But Jack Bailey’s ex – g/f  (Jenny Wade) is definitely stunning looking if you asked me.  Can watch but if you didn’t  – then you didn’t miss nothing.

We were out looking for extended laptop warranty at Staples and Walmart and had no intention to buy any movies when this sitcom keeps sticking its cover right at our face.  So since it was on sale for less than $30 for the entire Season 1 – we bought it just because.

They had an interesting packaging for the sitcom and i had thought it was going to be a bit like Californication but I was wrong.  We just started watching it yesterday and went thru’ 3 episodes in one night but boy! it was a slow, slow start – i just hopes it gets better really soon with Season 2 just out last week.

So the story is about Ray ( i’ve never seen him before) who is divorced and broke, who also burned his house down and have the most ugly twins as children and his ex – wife Ann Heche (she i recognized immediately) who ran away with a friend – a successful dermatologist and kinda going crazy.   With not much options, he went for a seminar to get rich to find out from a friend with benefits that his greatest asset is his D.I.C.K.

So while trying to pimp him – his friend Tanya – not very successful in life – begin the Happiness Consultants with him but not without a lot of trouble and heartache.  They were being cheated by a woman who is arrogant and obnoxious.  I really won’t recommend to buy the dvd like i did – but to watch it on HBO if you can first.  The second season just started – and i’m hoping it will get better.

So Season 4 of Burn Notice started and to think that I started watching this show because i was doing a review on this show for an advertiser.  Funnily, I wouldn’t have even watched this kind of sitcom if it wasn’t because of the review I did and now after 4 yrs – i am still watching the show.

This season started with Michael coming out of being burned by the CIA – but in the end he burned someone else – just because he wanted to get out of being burned?  so what will Michael do to undo it?  knowing him – he would.  He and Fiona’s relationship is the same and Sam his best friend is still around.  So lets see if Michael gets anywhere in this season and it was sad when he explained to his mom why he went missing.

For those who are following this tvb series – just so you know the last 2 episodes came out today and if you want to watch it – leave me a message.  have fun – i’m watching it now.
