tv over the weekend.

So...Lets review some of the stuff that was the previous day on tv.

First up - the BET 09 Awards. To start of it was less than 60min of actual tv - minus the commercials. And for the awards that were supposed to show most respect for Michael Jackson, if you ask me they did a pretty bad job with the tribute. The show started with a number of guys - most of which I haven't heard/seen before - and they just didn't do justice to the Jackson 5's classic ABC. Later in the show Ciara did Heal the World!?! Again - if you have Beyonce on the show why not have her do that instead of Ciara. No offence but there is no comparison between the two. And to top it all off, Jamie Fox also doing a MJ cover - the guy is a decent actor, and he may have a good one or two RNB songs, but he can't hold a candle to MJ. Again - if you have NeYo why not have him do it....poor. The awards were nothing special, and can't say i will remember a single thing from those awards.... oh yeah...and Lil Wayne won an award - again.

Second, we go to Dogg after Dark. The new show by Snoop Dogg. Again, complete let down. Starting with something like an interview with Paris Hilton. then doing something really strange with the Speidy couple in an elevator. Afterwards moving to interviews with guys like Kurupt. Show finished with a semi interview with Pharrell and they closed the show with Drop it like its hot. The whole show was really tacky, no chemistry whatsoever, and the live performances sucked - big time. No idea why Snoop still tries to do those kind of shows, but he should stop. Right away!. not recommending this to anyone to watch

Third, new show on the Lifetime network I think? Its called Drop Dead Diva. The first episode didn't really grab me at all, so I was doing power watching. You know fast forwarding through the whole ep to see if there is going to be something that will grab my attention. Unfortunately there wasn't anything. Show lacked suspence or anything remotely interesting to make me want to tune in for the next episode.

And forth and last for now - In Plain Sight. For those of you that are not familiar with the show, which is currently in its second season, 11th ep - its about couple of US Marshalls, and their everyday job of looking after people that are put in the witness protection program. The show regularly has its ups and downs. This week was a down. Not a very entertaining ep. The story line was about a mexican/latin crime cartel, killing of the wife of one of the cartel lieutenants , and than he rats on the boss to save himself from going to prison. And of course to avenge his wife. Acting wasn't very involving and again forced me to power watch this ep. I hope next week it will be better.

So thats all for now TV fans. Will report tomorrow on the new stuff from today. Hope its better than the previous day. Have you seen anything good over the weekend? Did you think any of those 4 shows was any good, or are you with me on this? Smell you later....
