Midweek Entertainment report 10/14/09

The Gun-nah gets tough on the paparazzi, Jay Leno's Numbers drop, SouthLAnd gets cancelled, Nip/Tuck is back, and a coach refuses to take personal accountability...

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the MIDWEEK ENTERTAINMENT REPORT!

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger decided to pass a bill to help himself once he's out of office (hey, Cali, you guys still think voting a person from True Lies to rule over your state was such a good call? PS, how long is a term in California? 19 years? How long has this guy been in charge?). The Guv signed an anti-paparazzi bill allowing celebs to sue media outlets that invade the Celebs' privacy, if the photos or video is obtained illegally. Speidi commented that they will NEVER sue because they never want to fall from the spotlight. "Please, continue to snap away. PLEASE!" was a direct (or indirect) quote.

Jay Leno's show, appropriately entitled, "The Jay Leno Show" has seen decreasing numbers over the last three weeks. SHOCKER. the 10-11 pm show isn't working? Ya Think? They already have the Tonight show. NICE TO MEET YOU. You really thought you'd beat CSI or Without a Trace (or whatever shows come on at 10 on network TV? I'm usually watching The Hills and The Ruins.) NBC, you had to know this wasn't going to work.

A direct result of The Jay Leno Show is that SouthLAnd was cancelled by NBC as it was seen as TOO DARK for a 9pm show. Gee, ya think. They've already filmed 6 episodes and TNT says they might pick up Ryan Atwood's new show. I thought he wanted to design things, not arrest people.
Other shows that were picked up include Cougar Land (starring Monica, apparently she and Chandler got a divorce and she is on the prowl. I wonder if they based the show on that one episode with the high school senior virgin....) and Flash Forward. Sorry Poon, I thought this show was going to get cancelled. I guess ABC REALLY REALLY WANTS a mind-twister to replace Lost.

Nip/Tuck returns tonight for its final season (at least it SHOULD BE). I loved the first few seasons of this show, but it REALLY went downhill when they moved to LA. Just saying. Matt was a scientologist? Come on. I feel bad for that guy. They made him become a scientologist, date a neo-nazi, have sex with a very attractive transgender and then sleep with his half-sister. Poor guy. Now Christian is married to a lezbinen, only I guess she isn't now. (Who is she, Tila Tequila?) And Sean is dating Rose McGowan. Oooooooooooook.

Finally, crossing over into the sports world, Westland John Glenn High School played Canton Plymouth in Ohio High School football over the weekend. (Ha, I keep thinking about the Kirk Herbstreit classic where Ohio "powers" always get thumped by EVERYONE ELSE in the country.) Anyways, Plymouth blocked a Westland FG with Westland down 28-27 with no time left. After Plymouth blocked the kick, they started celebrating, not realizing the ball never crossed the line of scrimmage, meaning it was still a live ball. The ref never stopped the play, WHY, because that is the rule. A Westland Glenn player picked up the ball and ran 33 yards for the game-winning score. Game over, Westland John Glenn wins. The Plymouth coach afterwards said, "It's something that's a protest in my eyes. We won the game. We played our tails off and Glenn should not be happy with the win."
Um, Coach, the official didn't blow the play dead. Why? The RULES. The game WASN'T over. How about you learn the rules and teach your players the rules. The OTHER coach knew the rules, that's why he told his player to pick up the ball and run.
And by the way, you sure are being a role model for your players: Never taking any personal responsibility or accountability when YOU MESS UP and yet you are blaming some one else, saying it is the officials faults. you are also trying to take the win away from the other team, when THEY KNEW THE RULES. Sorry you didn't. BYE!
