good morning! today marks sesame street's 40th birthday - i can't believe the show has been on since 1969! i totally worshipped the show as a kid and it's great to know kids are still enjoying it! (i still love that clip with the girl bringing her llama to the dentist) the brand new season starts airing today on PBS - check out the video below which features a couple of famous people singing the infamous song sunny days including super cutie jake gyllenhaal! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
oh i hope nobody considers this a spoiler ... so if you're a big fan of desperate housewives - you might want to skip over this post! somehow 'susan meyer' (played by teri hatcher) ends up in an orange uniform picking up trash on the street - she's probably doing community service - i have no clue what she might have done to deserve the punishment! (maybe she tried to exact revenge for what happened to her daughter 'julie'?) i started watching the show again at the start of this season - i missed a last few episodes last season - thankfully i'm all caught up! it's certainly not the best show on TV but for the most part i do enjoy it - especially the cast! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
good morning and happy friday! enjoy this video ... sesame street takes on one of my favorite TV shows mad men! (there's a new episode on sunday night - woo hoo!) these puppets might be adorable - but they're not nearly as sexy as mr. jon hamm! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
this is the best news ... heather locklear will be reprising her infamous role on melrose place starting november 17th - i hope girlfriend got a sweet deal to play bitchy vixen amanda woodward once again (she certainly held out long enough!) and the show better give her a juicy plot line rather than let her chew on the scenery (like jennie garth, shannen doherty and tori spelling did on the new 90210) i've watched the first two episodes of the show - i definitely wouldn't rave about it but i'll stick with it for now ... especially knowing 'amanda' is heading back to town! she's going to have to teach ashlee simpson's character 'violet' a thing or two! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
Heather Locklear will reprise her role as scheming vixen Amanda Woodward of "Melrose Place," which airs Tuesdays on The CW. Locklear will make her debut appearance on the show Tuesday, November 17. "We're ecstatic to have the chance to bring Amanda Woodward back to 'Melrose Place,'" said executive producers Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer. "Heather's involvement in the show is something we've been working on for some time as we couldn't imagine creating and producing this show without the iconic character's inclusion."
good evening everybody! although there are some great shows on TV these days (like true blood, gossip girl and mad men to name a few) i think most of us can agree - they certainly don't make shows like they used to (the same could probably be said about movies) back during the golden age of television - spanning from the late 1940s through the mid 1960s - when the medium was still brand spankin' new! to commemorate some of the all-time classic shows such as lassie, the twilight zone, howdy doody, i love lucy, burns & allen, the honeymooners (etc.) the USPS has issued a set of twenty stylish collectible stamps called TV early memories which were officially unveiled during a special ceremony at the academy of television arts and sciences over in north hollywood yesterday! i'm such a total geek for this type of thing - i'm definitely going to pick myself up a sheet ( ... and toss it in the drawer with all my other collectible pop junk!) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
Woof woof! What's that Lassie? You're on a stamp? But where's Timmy? One of America's most revered canines was among 20 television icons that came out of retirement today to be honored on the U.S. Postal Service's Early TV Memories 44-cent commemorative First-Class stamp sheet. Lassie participated in the first-day-of-issue dedication ceremony that took place at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in North Hollywood.
"All of the classic television shows represented on these stamps represents the collective memory of a generation well deserving of entertainment," said U.S. Postal Service Board of Governor member James C. Miller III in dedicating the stamps. "It was a generation that survived the Great Depression and fought World War II. They were pioneers -- creative geniuses -- who brought television shows of the 1950's into our homes, breaking new ground to provide entertainment for everyone."
good morning! we're only twelve days away from the third season premiere of mad men (august 16th) and last night some of the stars from the show hit the red carpet to celebrate the new season ... including jon hamm - the sexiest guy on television right now - he's adorable - i'd totally run away with his character don draper anytime! there's also pictures of two of my favorite ladies - january jones (betty draper) and christina hendricks (joan holloway) if you haven't done so already - make sure to check out mad men yourself where you can make your very own 'mad men' character (i'm currently using mine on both facebook and twitter) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
i totally know there's a bunch of people out there who are anxiously looking forward to the upcoming 3rd season of mad men over on AMC just like me ... i must admit when the show first came out i didn't catch on right away but after some nudging by my good pal joey - i finally started to watch the show and i was instantly hooked - it didn't take me long at all to catch the first two seasons - now i'm dying to know what's coming up next for all of the characters! of course i find jon hamm (don draper) to be super sexy but i'm all about my ladies ... january jones (betty draper), christina hendricks (joan holloway) and elisabeth moss (peggy olson)! if you're not watching this show - you're seriously missing out - from the acting & writing to the costumes & set design - everything is completely top-notch - it's practically perfect in every way ... i just hope the new episodes will be of the same caliber! popbytes over & out for tonight - i can't believe tomorrow is already friday - woo hoo! xoxo
good morning! just in time for father's day (sunday) here's the brand new promo shot for the upcoming 4th season of dexter over on showtime - america's favorite serial killer (played by the oh so sexy michael c. hall) is about to become a dad! the new season kicks off in september and one of my favorite actors will be joining the cast - john lithgow - he'll play a notorious serial killer who dexter becomes fascinated with! this weekend i am going to try and watch some of nurse jackie (playing now on showtime) i have the first couple of episodes on DVD - i'm behind but i've only heard good things about the show and edie falco - i must catch up! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
hey hey! it sounds like HBO is turning up the heat this summer - not only is the 2nd season of true blood set to premiere on june 14th - the network has a brand new series - a dark comedy called HUNG which i'm super excited for - it stars oh so hunky thomas jane as a well-endowed dad and high school coach who decides to put his large endowment to work - by becoming a male escort! a former flame of his played by the incredibly talented & funny jane adams (who i've loved ever since 1998's happiness) ends up helping him out by becoming his pimp (also added into the mix is kooky lady anne heche who plays mr. jane's ex-wife) i love the premise - i seriously hope the show delivers! i wonder if we'll see any shots of his member (maybe a prosthetic like the one used in boogie nights by mark wahlberg while playing dirk diggler) i hope everyone has been enjoying the holiday weekend so far - i'm so excited to have off again tomorrow! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good morning! i'm beyond excited for the special sneak peek tonight at glee - the brand new series from nip/tuck creator ryan murphy which airs on FOX immediately after the final performances on american idol (go adam lambert!) i got an advanced copy of the pilot like two months ago and i immediately fell in love with this adorably quirky show (there's a great sequence featuring amy winehouse's hit rehab) thankfully it's already been picked up by the network for the fall season - i really hope everyone likes the show as much as i do! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

hey hey! oh my friends at showtime are so on top of stuff - i loved how they released the new teaser poster for the 5th season of weeds on 4/20 - how appropriate! the new season kicks off on monday june 8th (the 4th season will be out on DVD on june 2nd) and the lovely mary-louise parker will be joined by one of my favorite actresses jennifer jason leigh who will play (for at least two episodes - hopefully more) the sister of hemptress 'nancy botwin' - who for sure knows how to weave a tangled web! that same evening after weeds airs - the network is debuting their new show nurse jackie starring edie falco (from the sopranos) i pretty much love everything and anything on showtime - so i'll definitely be tuning in for that one! right now i'm about to settle into a new episode of gossip girl - perhaps with a small toke to celebrate today! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening! tomorrow night after american idol airs - i'm going to stick around to catch the premiere of osbournes reloaded - a new six episode variety series starring ozzy & sharon osbourne along with kids jack & kelly - featuring comedy sketches, hidden camera pranks, competitions, and performances! you've got to watch the clip below of their take on the hills (which becomes the hells) which features the real lauren conrad along side mrs. osbourne who takes on lauren 'lo' bosworth and mr. osbourne does audrina 'ceiling eyes' patridge - it's pretty funny seeing ozzy in drag! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good morning everyone! i really hope you all have been watching the tudors over on showtime - the third season featuring blue-eyed hottie jonathan rhys meyers (who just checked out of rehab - again) as 'king henry VIII' is set to premiere on sunday, april 5th - however right now you can watch the premiere episode below! (just in case you're behind - the 1st & 2nd seasons are available on DVD and itunes) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
hey hey! last night alec baldwin hosted saturday night live (i adore him on 30 rock) the musical guests were the jonas brothers which i happen to think is the music industry's biggest joke - they truly suck ass - it's like lite rock courtesy of disney - ugh! (although i do find joe jonas to be really cute) of course i won't stop watching SNL but it was so much better a few months back when tina fey was doing her incredible and side-splitting sarah palin impressions! however i did like a few of the skits last night - especially this one featuring guys in a basement playing with their wii - check out the hilarity below! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
hey hey! i was just about to go to bed but i was watching jimmy kimmel live and they showed this hilarious clip of one of his sidekicks guillermo - who was hanging out on the grammy red carpet this past sunday - trying to get a bunch of celebrities to take his lucky penny - each person heard a different story on the penny's origin - it's so funny! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
hey hey! oh i'm super excited (along with my pal joey) for the upcoming 3rd season of the tudors over on showtime which premieres this spring - below is the brand new poster featuring the oh so sexy jonathan rhys meyers who plays 'king henry VIII' - along with the new trailer promoting the new season (set to queen's tune 'i want it all') both previous seasons are available on DVD - i highly recommend checking out this show if you haven't already! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
woo hoo - this totally makes me day (it doesn't take much to make monday a little bit better) finally we've got pictures of tori spelling filming scenes with jennie garth for 90210 - it's official - ring the bells - 'donna martin' has come back home! (after extensive negotiations with producers - the deal came through just a few weeks ago) supposedly her ex co-star jason priestley will be directing her debut episode - i'm not sure when that's set to air (too bad shannen doherty won't be coming back anytime soon - it was a blast to see 'brenda walsh' again) now that i've become hooked on this show (i swore i wouldn't watch yet i did and i like it - total guilty pleasure) i'm itching for a little 'melrose place' action but if resurrected it just won't be the same without 'amanda' (heather locklear) or 'kimberly' (marcia cross) we'll probably see lisa rinna (as the fairly lame 'taylor mcbride') who has already said she'd do the show in 'a heartbeat' - i'll have to tune in no matter what - i won't be able to help myself! popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo
PS ms. spelling does look awfully skinny - look at her arm below and check out this picture!
good morning! over the past few days i've been on this huge mad men kick - i finished off the first season on blu-ray over the weekend - and i was bummed to find out the 2nd season wouldn't be available on DVD until july - i simply couldn't wait so i took to itunes and started buying episodes for a mere $1.99 - a total bargain if you ask me! i'm about halfway through - i'm hoping to wrap up the 2nd season by saturday (i realized i watch more TV on DVD than i do movies!) thankfully the show is coming back again - they'd be stupid not to make a 3rd season - the show has been winning awards left and right - just this past weekend at the SAG awards the cast picked up the trophy for 'outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series' - my two favorite characters are 'betty draper' (played by january jones) she's the lonely housewife who's trying to keep herself from coming unglued at the seams - and 'joan holloway' (played by christina hendricks) the oh so cool office manager who keeps the sterling/cooper ad agency running like clockwork (although she's a tad racist - each character has their flaws) the entire show is so well done - from the acting to the writing - then toss in all the 60's costumes & settings - it's definitely a slow burning drama - it took me a few episodes to become hooked - now i'm dying to see what happens! the early sixties was such an interesting time - so very different from now - the way guys treated girls in the office would not last for a second today - it's almost hard to believe men were able to get away with what they did! if you're not watching this show - i highly suggest checking it out! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
PS of course watching hottie jon hamm as 'don draper' is also a huge plus - he's so damn sexy!
