Do any of you watch Mad Men? I LOVE that show. I have to admit, I didn't really enjoy the last season that much. I always loved the dynamic between Don and Betty when they were married. He always cheated on her and you were pissed that he did. Didn't he realize that he had a gorgeous wife and great kids at home? Ok, not really. Betty is a cold hearted bitch (and apparently is one in real life) and Sally is pretty F'ed up in the head. So you never really could root for Betty 100%, but Don was a pretty bad guy for cheating on her anyway. Then Don and Betty get a divorce. Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhy? Betty has absolutely no role on the show now (I really hope she doesn't get written off the show). Even though Betty was cold, you always thought, maybe she'll be nicer if Don stops cheating. She was even somewhat appealing when the two of them went to Italy. Now she just sucks.
What's more, for half the season Don stopped having affairs (or whatever you want to call them) with women. Instead, he hired a hooker. This is Don Draper, he doesn't need hookers! Stupid writers. Then Don started hooking up with Faye. Again, boring. Now he's engaged to the receptionist. Blah blah blah. I want him to get back together with Betty!
Also, why did Sally get caught "touching herself" at that girl's house? Isn't she 8? Is that really possible? All I can say is I hope I don't mess my kid up like Betty did.
And why does everyone (in real life and tv) think that Joan is so awesome looking? That woman has one of the fattest asses ever.
Hopefully next season will be better.

The Norwegians are coming! - RHNJ
As I have mentioned in previous posts, Teresa is one of my favorite "characters" on the RHNJ. But lately, I've been starting to dislike her. She's kind of a bitch (hmm some people say I am too). But all of the other castmembers are completely and utterly boring, so I think I have to like her. Actually, I think I like her because we have something in common - a poor grasp of the English language.
Both of my parents were born in Italy. My mom's English is perfect (probably better than mine), but English is my Dad's third language. His English is still awesome, but he makes mistakes. For example, he says "mices" "fishes" and "womens." I think he does this on purpose because he knows it drives me crazy. Anyway, I blame my parents for my inability to speak proper English (while I'm at it, I think I'm going to blame them for my decision to become a lawyer).
Teresa also has immigrant parents. Many times I've heard her say "ingrediences." Okay, that's pretty bad. Even my parents don't say that. WTF is wrong with her? Didn't she go to grade school? Why doesn't anyone correct her?
In one of my favorite scenes, Teresa started talking about the Nor'easter that was coming. She said the Norwegians were coming! This led me to realize that Teresa does not have a poor grasp of the English language, she's just a moron.

Game of Thrones - Season One
So did any of you watch Game of Thrones a couple of months ago? I was a little late on the GOT bandwagon and started to watch it in June. It was really hard to get into. The first few episodes were incredibly detailed and slightly boring (*gasp!*). Nonetheless, I powered through them. I'm only going to write about the few characters that I either loved or was perplexed by. I'll address more in later posts. FYI to serious GOT watchers- spoilers are below.
What first caught my attention was when I saw Lysa breastfeeding her son, who is a young boy. That's just disgusting, yet so intriguing! My favorite part was when he screams, "mommy I'm hungry!!!" and starts tugging at her shirt. I really think George Martin has some mental issues that he needs to deal with. Maybe I have mental issues too because I hope Robin, Lysa's son, continues to breastfeed in season two. I could use a good laugh every now and then.

In the very first or second episode we are introduced to Cersei and Jamie Lannister. They are the evil twins who have sex with each other. Again, disgusting, yet intriguing! We later find out that all of Cersei's children were fathered by Jamie. How do these children not have four heads and ten arms? Later on in the season, we see Cersei banging another Lannister. What's wrong with her? Nonetheless, while we all are supposed to hate Cersei, I love the actress who plays her! She starred in the Sarah Connor Chronicles so how could I not love her? (nerd alert) As for Jamie, I know I'm supposed to hate him, but he hasn't really done anything so far that really makes me hate him (except for hurting Ned, who was one of the best characters on the show, besides little Arya).
What did you think of the first season?
Milania Giudice - RHNJ
I used to really dislike Milania, Tree's daughter. She looks just like her mother (ugly) and seems like such a brat. But then she said something brilliant two weeks ago. Juicy Joe was babbling about something and Milania was pissed so she said to her father, "shutup you old troll!" Awesome! When I was four, I never would have called anyone an old troll. Maybe it is because my parents never said bad words in front of me, or maybe I wasn't that smart. Nevertheless, I am going to call everyone and their mother an old troll (see True Blood post).
This past episode, Milania was at Corrado's (hey, that's where Dad shops!). She was jumping in the food bins and making a mess (maybe Dad should stop going there). Afterwards, Teresa praised Milania! I think it's because she was being filmed and couldn't beat the shit out of her. Clearly, Milania wears the pants in that family. I wonder what she'll do next week.

Dexter
While I was writing this blog last night I had Weeds on in the background. I have no idea what happened, it was that boring. Anyway, at the end of the show, I saw a preview for Dexter!!!! I was so excited I almost peed in my pants (no not really)! I LOVE that show. It is my favorite show on earth (besides Lost). I wish I had come up with the idea of a serial killer who kills serial killers....brilliant!! Then I started thinking about the actor who plays Dexter. He broke up with his wife/sister (who is super anorexic and very mannish) last year and there were rumors that he was hooking up with Julia Stiles. Recently, I heard that that was not true and Dexter is really banging some staff member on the show. Thank god! You know, Julia Stiles went to Columbia for a little while and I saw her on campus. Just so you know, she's just as ugly in person as she is on TV. Ok glad we cleared that up.
I can't wait for this show to start!

Albie Manzo - RHNJ
I hate this guy. But, he's good looking so maybe I don't hate him that much. Last season we learned that Albie was going to Fordham Law School, my alma mater. At first I thought, who let this baccala in? Then we learned he got kicked out because of bad grades (*chuckle*). Caroline Manzo talked about it and cried. Apparently, he has a learning disability (boohoo). Both Caroline and Albie thought that Albie should be given a second chance. NO YOU DON"T GET A SECOND CHANCE AT LAW SCHOOL. You can't tell a Judge - Your honor, I have learning disability, can I have more time? Your honor, this brief sucks, but that's because I have a learning disability. If you suck, you lose. End of story. If you can't cut law school, you can't cut the real world, especially in this economy. I have tons of intelligent friends who were fired and can't find good jobs, and this baccala wants a second chance? Study harder and stop crying to mommy. This guy is rich and has always had everything handed to him on a silver platter. I'm glad Fordham said no.

Guest Blogs
I like to watch a lot of garbage but my husband is a TV nazi. I had to cut a lot of bad TV from my repertoire when I got married. So if there's a show that you watch, and I don't, feel free to submit a "guest" blog. But just because you submit it doesn't mean I'll post it. I have a reputation to keep up and no one watches most eligible dallas, Carla. (Ok, yes I watch Giuliana and Bill, but she looks like an alien! I can't stop staring!)
The Real Housewives of NJ
Sunday's episode was AWESOME! Let's start with Teresa. (Actually, let's only talk about her. The other characters bore me and I hate Ashley the Amazon.) I love how she's late to her own book signing and doesn't even say "sorry I'm late." It was really nice that Kathy and Rich showed up. I don't really like Kathy (that chick has some weird eyes) but why couldn't Teresa be more enthusiastic and thank them for coming? Oh well, I still love Teresa.
Next, Joe and Melissa show up. I love to hate Melissa. Is it just me, or was it kind of creepy when Joe made Teresa sign his book with a special note and watch her write it? Then he made her read it out loud! Awkward! Teresa was crying and all he did was give her a kiss. He should have hugged her! So what if Juicy Joe threatened him? There has to be more of a backstory behind those texts. Oh well I don't really care. These threats make good TV.
Then we get to Joe and Tree's house. Juicy is plastered. For some reason, unbeknownst to God, Juicy decides to do some gymnastics. It was kind of weird when he yelled at Gia and her friend, but whatever, the best was yet to come. Yes, he does a sideways sommersault and falls flat on his face, chipping a tooth at the same time. It just doesn't get any better than this. During the rest of the scene, you can see that his face is red. He fell on marble! LOVED IT! Fall again! Next time I hope you break something. Ok that was mean, but, well, who cares?
After some crying by Gia (notice how Tree and Juicy tell Gia to shut up?), Juicy blabs that he dumped Tree's ass when they were dating and she crawled back to him. Tell me more! You know, I really used to like Joe and Teresa, but Joe is kind of a jerk. Also, please stop acting like a guido. Italians don't say YOUZ anymore. Tree kept blaming Melissa, but I think she just said that so that Juicy would stop hating her brother (I love him).
Also, Tree, please don't ever wear that purple fur coat again. I love purple, but that coat was disgusting. I also hope that wasn't real fur. Just because it is expensive, doesn't mean it's stylish.
The Manzo brothers are boring. One of them is good looking, but stupid (haha you got kicked out of Fordham - and don't get me started on that one) and the other has a big nose. No you won't be able to sell black water. If I wanted black water, I'd go to the Jersey Turnpike and drink out of the local streams.

Weeds
Why is Michelle Trachtenberg on this show too? Go away Georgina.
Anyway, this season is pretty bad. At first I thought it had promise when they brought back Heylia, but then she was gone an episode later. They need to bring back Celia. That bitch was awesome. Bring back little boxes too! At least they are selling weed again.
Ok I can't even comment on this episode. I'm bored to death with it.

True Blood
True Blood is, by far, the best show on TV this month. I watched Sunday night's episode two days ago, so this blog post won't be that detailed. Instead I'll just discuss the characters I despise (and some that I love).
I love Eric. Even when he lost his memory and was acting a little stupid, he acted like this cute little puppy-dog. Nonetheless, I really wanted him to get his memory back.I like the old Eric too and he was becoming too mushy and nice with Sookie. When he finally did get his memory back, I was a little sad for a number of reasons. First, he stopped trying to kill Bill. I hate that guy. He's ugly, has a stupid accent (Sookeeeeeee) and is just plain annoying. Why can't he just die already? (Okay I know he'll never die because he's a main character, but every Sunday I think oh this is the episode in which Bill dies) Second, once Eric got his memory back he wasn't his old self. I think it would have been better if he didn't remember being with Sookie. Or maybe it would have been better if he decided to kill Bill.
Another character I really don't like is Jesus. First, this witch story line is stupid (but is it worse than the Maenid storyline?). Second, what the hell was with Jesus' demon face when he went through the wall? It was kind of cool. Even though Jesus is pretty good looking, I secretly hoped he would keep that demon face because I hate him so much. I also hope Marni kills him. We'll see.
This brings me to my least favorite character - Marni. Who cast this troll? She's old, ugly and has an annoying voice. I'm pretty sure she'll die by the end of the season so that gives me some comfort. I think she's the reason why I hate this witch storyline. Jesus too.
Thank god they finally killed Tommy! His storyline was stupid and painful to watch. I loved watching those wolves give him a beating. But why did Alcide watch it and then help Sam beat the crap out of the wolves later? He just seemed out of place. It's ok though, Alcide is one of the best characters on that show. I can't wait for Debbie to cheat on him so he can finally dump her ass, again. She's just gross.

Aliens!
There is NOTHING on TV this month except for True Blood (which I love, but it's started to get stupid. Okay, maybe not starting). So besides True Blood, I've been watching alot of garbage and the Real Housewives. Right now I'm watching Giuliana and Bill. This show is horrible, but for some reason I can't help but watch it. I think it's because Guiliana looks like an alien. Really, she does. She's also really stupid. Why do women think that if they act stupid and shallow on TV that it makes them look really cool? For example, Giuliana was talking to her sister-in-law about going to a lake in Michigan. Giuliana doesn't want to go in the water. She says something like, it's like oil and vinegar - we don't mix. Isn't it oil and water? Giuliana - you're stupid and you look like an alien. Also, why does she have hair extensions that go down to her ass? That looks stupid too. This begs the question, why do I watch this show?
