Rosie Pope – Pregnant in Heels

If you haven’t heard of this show, DON’T WATCH IT. I found a random link that sent me to this show on Hulu. I would review it, but I would rather quote from this review by Ken Levine

Bravo’s PREGNANT IN HEELS — Oh my f-ing God!

The show centers around Rosie Pope, a willowy opportunist who calls herself a “Maternity Concierge” to the “million dollar mamas” of New York’s Upper East Side. These rich sheep now have consultants for everything. I imagine these self-proclaimed experts are selected by which cable network their reality show is on.

Read the rest of his review, it’s brilliant.

UNC Bears Play in NCAA Tournament Today at 2:40pm in Tuscon

Today is the big day. Today the University of Northern Colorado Bears face off against the San Diego State Aztecs at 2:40pm Mountain Time in Tuscon Arizona. The game will be televised on TNT. I, unfortunately, have a meeting scheduled, so I will have to put it on the DVR. Don’t tell me who won.

Update: The Bears fell to the Aztecs 50-68. The Bears played well, and should be proud of their season. Congratulations to the team!!!

Hawaii 5-0 – Grace Park gets to “Bing It” with her Windows 7 phone

If you have seen the 2010 reincarnation of Hawaii 5-0 you know that it’s really just a big commercial. The Chevy Camaro product placement is over the top obvious. Each episode is like a Super Bowl commercial for GM.

I have no problem with this. Since, like many of you, I primarily use my Tivo to watch TV, I don’t pay much attention to commercials these days. If product placement helps CBS pay the bills, I say go for it.

The thing that was amusing about this week’s episode was Microsoft’s attempt at genericizing their trademark by writing a line for Grace Park that uses “bing” as a verb.

The funny thing about this is it’s absurdity. It would have been so much more natural if Chin had told Kono to “google it” on Bing…

Chuck is Saved!

So it looks like NBC’s quirky Action/Comedy show about a geek turned secret agent will be back for season 3, with some concessions.

Sidreel.com is reporting that Chuck has been renewed, but with some concessions from Warner Brothers. NBC only wants 9 episodes, and production costs must decrease. Hopefully the quality of the show won’t drop off too much.

New girl at The Office – Ellie Kemper

If you are a fan of “The Office” and didn’t see last night’s episodes, warning, there might be spoilers.

If you did see last night’s episode, you noticed we have a new receptionist. Yes, Pam quit her job to join the Michael Scott Paper Company. Of course Dunder Mifflen’s Scranton Branch can’t do without a receptionist (or a new love interest for Dwight and Andy) so Kelly “Erin” Hannon, played by Ellie Kemper, has been hired to replace Beasley.

Ellie Kemper has a history in comedy including performing with the Upright Citizens Brigade and writing for the Onion, so she may be more than just a temp. Based on her performance in last night’s episodes, I think she will be a great addition to the cast.
