I was watching True Blood season 3 with Nessa and once again realized how much I liked the opening sequence for the show. I always feel that a good opening sequence can get you excited for a show and is just as important as a good opening scene to the episode.
So I was watching season 3 and like the geek I am I started thinking of what my favorite TV Opening Sequences were and came up with this weeks Top Ten. First some honorable mentions. I eliminated TV shows that I loved the opening theme but the sequence changed each season to reflect the aging show. This list includes Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill, Smallville, Everwood, Gilmore Girls, The OC, and Friday Night Lights just to name a few. I might have to do a different Top Ten for TV Show Themes and probably make it a Top 25.
Other shows that didn't make the cut were Survivor, Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street, Bones, and How I Met Your Mother.
I think you're smart
You sweet thing
Tell me your name
I'm dying here
I use to listen to this song all the time. This from the "Disturbing Behavior" soundtrack which was an under appreciated movie in the 1990's. I tried watching this movie on Movie Pix On Demand earlier and it wasn't as good as I remembered and I stopped watching after 30 minutes because the acting was bad. But that doesn't take away from how much I enjoy the song.
The song performed well on the rock charts and even through most of their songs were better then some of the other bands were made it really big in the late nineties they ended up being a one hit wonder. But as far as one hit wonders go this is a good hit to have. The song is catchy and the chorus easily gets stuck in your head.
This past weekend a Pastor in California predicted that the beginning of the end of the world would start. Luckily for us it didn't happen but it helped me decide my top ten list for the week. Top Ten End of the World movies. It was surprising easy to decide on ten movies. Although there was a lot of movies I liked I was able to cut it down without sweating.
10. 2012
I think that without John Cusack I might have liked this movie less but I am a big Cusack fan. There is no real depth to the film and it's a total popcorn flick but sometimes that's what disaster flicks should be.
9. War of the Worlds
I think this remake benefited a lot from having the benefit of better technology to work with. The original was great but the special effects in it took some of the suspense away by the time I saw it. I am sure it was amazing when it was realized and someday this version will look dated as well.
8. Dogma
The best of the Kevin Smith films. Proves the end of the world does not have to just be serious but can also be funny.
7. Zombieland
Might lose points as it ages but for now it's here. Woody Harrison is awesome in the movie and the cameo with Bill Murray is hilarious. The movie also helped launch Emma Stone's career and she's grown into one the best actresses of the next generation.
6. Planet of the Apes
The movie holds up over time even though it had a weak remake. And the ending shocked me which gives it extra points.
5. Men in Black
If for nothing else this is on the list because the awesome theme song. I could dance to that song any day of the week. The movie is also hilarious and the chemistry between Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones is great.
4. Armageddon
This one is on the list mostly because I'm a sucker for love stories. The movie doesn't add anything new to diaster movies but the scene near the end with Ben Afflick and Bruce Willis always makes me tear up.
3. Dawn of the Dead
What could be better then serious actors stuck in a mall surrounded by zombies ...
2. Shaun of the Dead
... Comedy actors stuck in a bar surround by zombies.
1. Independence Day
This movie had everything. A great story, great acting, and even though it was made in 1996 the special effects don't yet feel dated. The movie launched a movie career for Will Smith and I always the scene he had near the end with Jeff Goldblum was really well done.
If you're lost you can look--and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
Time after time
This song has been performed by a lot of great singers but this is my favorite version of the song. Eva Cassidy sings with such emotion and her voice adds so much to the song but it's really the lyrics that make me love the song and she sings it in a way that you can really feel the lyrics.
I like the thought that there is someone you can love so much that you can promise to be there for them no matter what. That they can call and you'd come running without thinking twice. That you get nervous when they don't answer phone calls and texts. You get so nervous that you leave work early and rush home just to make sure they are OK. And no matter how many times it happens and how many times they end up being OK the next time it happens you still get nervous because the thought of something being wrong drives you crazy and you feel like nothing will ever seem right until you know they are safe.
People say love will drive you crazy and sometimes it seems like they may be right. But I'll take crazy over anything else.
The CW had the final Upfront Presentation of the week and there schedule is as follows:
MONDAY
8 pm Gossip Girl (New Time)
9 pm Hart of Dixie (New Series)
TUESDAY
8 pm 90210 (New Night)
9 pm Ringer (New Series)
WEDNESDAY
8 pm H8R (New Series)
9 pm America’s Next Top Model
THURSDAY
8 pm The Vampire Diaries
9 pm The Secret Circle (New Series)
FRIDAY
8 pm Nikita (New Night)
9 pm Supernatural
No real surprises on The CW. The Vampire Diaries is hit or miss for me and if I decide to watch the remainder of season two then I'll have a busy Thursday because I'll be giving Secret Circle a try. I'm not sure about The Ringer or Hart of Dixie. I'll try Hart of Dixie because I like the actors involved but can't really see myself having any interest in The Ringer but that can always change. If I try them it'll be during mid-season when I know how the ratings for the show are doing.
I'll keep watching Gossip Girl but leaning towards quitting 90210 because it's really not that good of a show overall but there are a few characters I like in the show. I'm also glad One Tree Hill announced a final 13 episodes and hope they can bring back Lucas and Peyton for at least a few episodes.
CBS announced their schedule with only a few shows I like. The schedule announced today is as follows:
MONDAY
8:00-8:30 PM How I Met Your Mother
8:30-9:00 PM 2 BROKE GIRLS (N)

8:00-9:00 PM THE Amazing Race
9:00-10:00 PM The Good Wife (NT)
10:00-11:00 PM CSI: MIAMI
I am surprised CBS chose to move Rules of Engagement to Saturdays. It'll be the only channel with scripted original shows on Saturday nights and seems like they are wasting the show. I thought at least one of the CSI shows would be cancelled but all three made it through with the original CSI moved to Wednesdays.
Two of my current favorite sitcoms, Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother return and if I get the chance to watch Mike and Molly over the summer and like it I'll add that next year. I'll also watch Survivor and Amazing Race because I'm a sucker for both shows.
The only new shows that interests me is Person of Interest but mostly because Michael Emerson is in it and he was amazing as Ben on Lost and Two Broke Girls because it looks like it'll be a funny show I would enjoy.
This week I'll be counting my favorite TV wives. Since I am lucky enough to have such a wonderful wife who I love deeply I thought I'd count down great TV wives.
10. Jessica Simpson from Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica
I know it's a reality show but she was just so funny on this show that I have to think it was really scripted. At least I hope so.
9. Clair Olivia Hanks-Huxtable from The Cosby Show
8. Carla from Scrubs
Sitcom wives usually get the short end of the stick. Sadly they are mostly just there to look pretty and once in awhile put their husband in his place. But these two ladies were always able to be more than the regular sitcom wife.
7. Kirsten Cohen from The OC
I'm gonna pretend season two and three of The OC never happened when it concerns Sandy and Kirsten because the writers did a horrible job with them. They had such a wonderful relationship in season one and four and that is how I will remember it.
6. Pam from The Office
One of the major reasons I like The Office is because of the relationship between Pam and Jim. They let the relationship grow from friends to husband and wife. Sure the story hasn't been as good since they got together but I can accept that because they are a great couple.
5. Lily from How I Met Your Mother
The way Lily support Marshall is why she makes the list but she is hilarious on her own as well. Her and Marshall have such a nice balance to their relationship which is refreshing for a TV show.
4. Marge Simpson from The Simpsons
Anyone who can stay with Homer for 22 years has to crack the top five.
3. Emma from Corner Gas
Emma was both funny and scary. She was able to put everyone else in their place and even through you always wondered what she saw in Oscar you could always tell she loved him.
2. Tami from Friday Night Lights
The show showed how hard it would be to be a football coach's wife in Texas. I loved this show because the people and relationships were so realistic. They had their arguments but always made up and supported each other.
1. Haley from One Tree Hill
On a show where relationships changed all the time it was nice to have one relationship that lasted the entire show. You don't see many TV shows that can have a couple last eight seasons and people want them to stay together. Even when viewership dropped in season two when they had their troubles, the love of the couple by the crazy fans made it obvious the writers would not mess with the couple again outside of regular marital conflicts.
I'm disappointed with the new shows on the networks this year. There are shows that I will try but nothing that I'm really excited about. I have nothing to really say about any of the new shows on ABC. The only show I will watch on the network is Grey's Anatomy and that show is so hit or miss that I could go ages without watching the show and feel like the exact same thing is still going on. I may try some of the new shows later if they start looking like good shows but based on what I've read of the new shows properly not.
Here's the ABC fall schedule below anyways.
MONDAY:
8:00 p.m. “Dancing with the Stars”
10:00 p.m. “Castle”

8:30-9:00 PM NAPOLEON DYNAMITE (new)
9:00-9:30 PM Family Guy
9:30-10:00 PM BOB’S BURGERS
For the returning shows the only shows I'll stick with is Fringe, American Idol, and Family Guy. Fringe is currently my favorite running TV show and I just hope that if the ratings don't keep up they just announce it as the last season and give the writers a fair chance to end it well. Family Guy is hit or miss lately but it's still one of the funniest shows on TV. I love Bones but it's really a DVD show for me since I watch the show when Nessa gets it. American Idol has also been hit or miss the last two seasons with no real contestants I've liked but the show did introduce me to some great artists like Kris Allen. David Cook, Carrie Underwood, and Kelly Clarkson so I'll continue to give it a chance.
For the new shows I'll give Terra Nova a try in the fall. I'll DVR it it but won't commit to watching it until I see the initial ratings. I still don't trust Fox and won't get stuck liking a show that is doomed. I'll do the same in the fall with The Finder and Alcatraz. Both knows look interesting and I think I'll like both but again not until the I know if the show is successful or not. I'll also watch X Factor because I'm a sucker for singing shows and I know it'll succeed. What I'm really excited for is the reboot of The Flintstones but gotta wait until 2013 for that one. Not a lot on Fox that interests me but it is what it is.
It's a brand new day
The sun is shining
It's a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know, I'll be ok
I love this song because it's so inspirational. No matter what goes wrong the song gives me hope that everything will be ok. No matter what it's a brand new day.
There's no reason that I need to be cheered. Overall my life is good. I have a wife I love and three pets I love even when they annoy me. I'm not starving and I have clothes on my back. Can't really complain about anything. Sure things could always be better but I'm happy.
It's just good to know that when I am having a bad day or when I'm just sick of the rain I have a song I can turn on that reminds me that I have no real reason to feel down.

The biggest surprise was that Wonder Women wasn't picked up. They gave so much attention to the pilot and the announcement of Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Women. They also had a big reveal of the costume. The fact that it wasn't picked up makes me wonder what went wrong with the pilot. It also makes me want to watch the pilot to see how bad it must have been.
There's not a lot on the schedule that really interests me. I am happy Chuck gets 13 episodes to end the series properly. I also would like to give Parenthood a try but I have two seasons to watch first so I may not have the chance to watch it yet. It really depends on the other channels and how my TV schedule looks for next fall. I'll watch The Office mostly out of habit and because sometimes they do have some good moments.
The one new show that interests me is Grimm. I've been a fan of The Grimm Brothers stories since I was a kid. With Smallville not on any longer this show can fill that fantasy void in the schedule. I hope that the show gets good ratings and lasts. The other show that interests me is the Playboy Club. The concept of the show is interesting but I can see it failing to find a good audience. I also think The Firm will fail to find a strong audience. Grimm could be saved by airing on Fridays.
For the Mid Season shows the only one that interests me is Awake. I think it could be what Inception wasn't. It also stars Jason Isaacs who is awesome as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. The rest of the new shows may interest me later but I'll leave them as shows I'll download later.
It's always a disappointment when one of your favorite shows ends but when that show gets the chance to have a proper ending and tie together all the story lines you feel that it is let go. It also helps that the show has been on for ten seasons and even through it could easily continue it ended on it's own terms.
The episode itself was great. The use of "Breathe Again" by Sara Bareilles was emotional for the wedding scene. It was also nice to see so many old cast members return for one last episode. Especially Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luther. The scene between Clark and Lex was well acted and it was cool to see the two characters in one last scene together.
We also finally got what we wanted. The suit on Clark. And while it was obviously CGI it was still an amazing moment that was ten years in the making. The finale delivered what I expected and a little bit more. After ten seasons I'm ok with it ending because it got to end on such a high note.
With the TV season winding down and networks announcing there fall lineups next week I thought it was a good time to do my Top Ten TV shows that were canceled too soon.
I eliminated shows that could have gone on but stars wanted out (Gilmore Girls, Scrubs), shows that were once good and had potential to be good again but died out in later seasons (Veronica Mars, Heroes) and shows I liked but didn’t watch while they were on TV (Popular, Freaks and Geeks, My So-Called Life). I also left out shows I felt went on just long enough not to get to stale. (Lost, Greek, Dawson's Creek, Friday Night Lights)
10. October Road
The show interested me because it was about returning home. They say you can never go home. That's because people change and people grow up. The concept that a guy returns home after disappearing for many years only to have his old friends dislike him intrigued me and I thought it could have lasted longer if treated differently.
9. My Name Is Earl
I always enjoyed Jason Lee. I liked him in Kevin Smith's movies and I liked him in this show. It was much funnier then most sitcoms that are on television right now. It's a shame NBC couldn't give this show more of a try especially considering how bad the network is doing in the ratings now.
8. Life Unexpected
I started watching this show because it reminded me of some of my favorite WB shows and instantly loved the show. It had such a sweet truth to the show. The characters acted like real people and the show never really fit in with the Gossip Girls of the CW. I think the show would have lasted longer as a companion show with Gilmore Girls but was outside it's niche here.
7. Reaper
Ray Wise was great as the Devil on this show. The show was able to blend humor and drama well without overdoing it. The real injustice was that Ray Wise didn't have the chance to be a regular on TV for longer.
6. Jericho
One of the great shows that was able to be renewed because of it's crazy fans sending things to the network. The disappointment is that even through I barely got a second season and they still chose to end on a cliffhanger. It feels unfair from the writers the end a show that way when they had to know it was the end.
5. The OC
Season 4 is the only reason this show makes the list. I slowly grew to dislike the show in season 2 and 3. The show just kept doing the same things over and over again. But season 4 was almost as great as season 1 and if people would have given it a real chance the show could have easily went another few seasons. Or they could have made the same mistakes.
4. Roswell
I liked this show but after season one I never felt the writers really got to do what they wanted to do. Especially after their move to UPN the show just wasn't the same even through the series finale was really well done.
3. Sports Night
In my opinion one of the most underrated shows ever. The acting was always amazing and so many of the stars went on to appear in other successful shows. The show was funny but also had a lot of heartfelt moments like the one in the clip above.
2. Eli Stone
The show had a really big concept and as a fan of musicals every week was seemed like a big production. The writing on the show was superb which has become a bench mark of a Greg Berlanti production. Berlanti worked on Dawson's Creek before creating the next show on the list as well as Eli Stone and Brothers and Sisters which I've heard is a good show but never gave it a chance as of yet.
1. Everwood
I didn't like this show the first time I watched it but I'm glad I gave it a second chance because it grew on me really quickly. The relationship between father and son really appealed to me and I liked watching them grow from Ephraim hating Andy to an almost normal father/son relationship by the end of the series. It could have easily gone on longer but thanks to the need to give Veronica Mars a weak third season it didn't make it onto the CW.
1. The Voice: The first two episodes surprised me with how much I enjoyed the show and I am looking forward to how they do the show now that the blind auditions are over. The judges on the show are funny and work well with each other and there are a few singers who I am interested in seeing what they do next.
2. TV Up Fronts and Season finales: May is the month that most TV shows end their seasons and you get all the exciting season cliffhangers that drive you crazy all summer. It's also the month when the major networks announce their new shows and their new fall schedules. It gets a little tense when some of the shows I like aren't renewed going into May. This year I have Chuck that I'd like to come back but most other shows I watch are already renewed, announced final seasons or shows that have passed their peaks and I'd be OK if they ended as long as the ending is satisfying.
3. Adele: Her new album is amazing starting with the lead single, "Rolling In The Deep." She has such an amazing voice and I love that she's so popular right now because she's not what you would expect record companies to want to push and she found a way to have a successful career. It's always refreshing when someone can succeed mostly on talent.
4. Throne of Fire: Book two in Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles series which I am looking forward to reading as soon as I get the chance to buy the book or the library gets it in stock. Whichever happens first.
5. NBA and NHL Playoffs: Basketball playoffs have been crazy this year and the Lakers were eliminated which is awesome. And if Vancouver would smarten up and play some hockey we might have a Stanley Cup in Canada.
I've got a good mother,
and her voice is what keeps me here.
It's never easy being a single mother. Especially when you have 5 bratty kids who all have different needs and wants. My mother never made it look easy but she always made it look like she loved being a mother. That's a testament of a good parent. Loving your children no matter what happens.
Anyone that knows me knows I have a weird family. My sisters aren't always easy to get along with. There's been thrown chairs and temper tantrums. But my mother always found a way to make peace whether it was chasing us down the hall with a slipper or just talking to us about our problems.
She always found a way to get the things we needed and the things we wanted. She taught me how to be a good man and have to have faith in myself. I can never thank her enough for that.
Nessa for some reason suggested I post a top ten boy band list and as I was making the list I thought about also including girl groups. And then while I was looking up Youtube videos I came across some pop bands that had both genders. And since I couldn't narrow it down to just ten, here are my Top Fifteen Pop Bands.
Sadly I could have made it a Top 25 or even a Top 30 and I could have included some real cheesy bands and one hit wonders but I stuck to 15 and chose my favorite tune from the band. The majority of the bands our from the nineties thus can now be considered a guilty pleasure. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
15. Westlife: Swear It Again
One of two really good boy bands to come out of England. They had a lot of good mellow songs and "Swear It Again" has so much emotion behind the lyrics.
14. Take That: Back For Good
The other good British boy band. Plus Robbie Williams came from this band and he went on to have a really successfully solo career.
13. Wilson Phillips: Hold on
Every time I hear this song I thing of Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. Which makes me remember driving around with Al singing off key and having a good time. The song is the definition of a cheesy 90's song but that's what makes it great.
12. 98 Degrees: Because of You
I had a hard time picking a song by 98 Degrees. They have a few good ballads but in the end I liked this song the best out of their catalog. It's a catchy tune and still feels a little heartfelt even for a boy band.
11. Banarama: Cruel Summer
One of the best guilty pleasures of the 80's. A lot of groups have tried to cover this song and no one comes close to the awesomeness of Banarama.
10. All Saint: Never Ever
I always wondered why this group didn't have a bigger career. They were just as talented as other girl groups but for what ever reason they never stayed relevant. It happens to a lot of artists but this song is really good.
9. S Club 7: Don’t Stop Moving
I use to love the S Club 7 TV show. It was great and reminded me off The Monkees. I don't think they would have been as big without the show either.
8. Destiny’s Child: Jumpin, Jumpin
I am not a huge Beyonce fan but I liked a lot of Destiny's Child's songs. I loved dancing to this song at the Flagship. They use to play it like 20 times a night.
7. Hanson: Mmmbop
Another group that just didn't stay relevant. Which is sad because some of their new material is really good Adult Contemporary music. Mmmbop is a very catchy song and once it's in your head it stays there.
6. Spice Girls: Stop
You can't deny that the Spice Girls were a good pop group. I love Spice World the movie for the cheesiness and I choose this song because I like the dance they do during the chorus.
5. The Monkees: Daydream Believer
One the greatest songs ever. The Monkees had a lot of great songs but this song has such great lyrics behind it and Davy Jones sings it so well.
4. Ace of Base: The Sign
Who doesn't like this song. I was undecided between this and "Beautiful Life" and I choose this song. I dare anyone to listen to it and not marvel in it's greatness. I'm still waiting for someone to do a good cover of the song.
3. New Kids on The Block: Step by Step
The band that created the market for so many other bands. Without NKOTB there is no BSB or Nsync. You can argue that there would be no Justin Timberlake but I think he would have found a way because he is talented on his own. "Step by Step" is arguable there best song and rewatching the video is hilarious.
2. Nsync: It’s Gonna Be Me
My favorite song by Nsync. I think this song shows Justin Timberlake's solo talent the best out of any song other then maybe "Dirty Pop." I may even like them better then the number 1 group but they lose points because looking they also felt more like Justin, JC, and three other guys then a boy band.
1. Backstreet Boys: I Want It That Way
Anyone who has spent time with me at Taps knows why this is number one and if you haven't seen me sing it then you may be lucky to not be scarred for life. Regardless the Backstreet Boys have lasted longer then expected and this is actually a good song, especially when I don't sing it.
Let me start off by saying I love being married. It was the best decision of my life. When you love someone so much that you are willing to spend the rest of your life with them. It's such a wonderful feeling to know that not only do you feel that way but someone else feels that way about you. They accept you and all the annoying things you do, and they love you enough to accept them and still want to spend every night with you. I count myself lucky to be one of the blessed ones to be truly happy.
That's why the news that ABC has picked up a celebrity version of Wife Swap bothers me. It's bad enough that most celebrities already treat marriage like a joke, now we have to see D list stars switch wife's like it's nothing at all. I could never imagine wanting to spend days with someone else wife. Why would anyone agree to this nonsense.
If you truly want to send your spouse away to spend time with another person then maybe it's a sign you shouldn't be married.
This week with the election in Canada yesterday I'm gonna put my favorite fictional politicians. It was a little hard to get to 10 choices and the last few are a stretch as far as "favorite" goes.

8. President Robert "Bobby" McCallister From Jack and Bobby (Logan Lerman)
7. President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet from The West Wing (Martin Sheen)
