Giving Back To Others

There is a show on ABC, not sure if you've heard of it, called Secret Millionaire.  I love reality TV but this show based upon the commercials didn't exactly catch my attention.  Although I am all about supporting charities  through giving time or money, the commercials leading up to the show weren't exactly drawing me in or getting me to add yet another show to my DVR record list.  But my insistent husband asked me to record it and I said okay.  Well,  he was right to add it to our list of shows to watch. The premise of Secret Millionaire ... » Read more

Let’s Talk American Idol

As a devote American Idol watcher over the past nine seasons, I was not sure about this new season.  Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez joining Randy Jackson on the judges panel, really?  It is so hard to associate the show without Simon Cowell sitting at that judges table.  I just finished watching last week's episodes and was really surprised.  I did not know what to expect out of Steven, maybe a little bit more coherent state of mind compared to Ozzy Osbourne but he keeps it interesting.  Some of the things he says are pretty funny.  And, Jennifer - she's ... » Read more
