Leaving People Speechless and Sending Pencils 2007-11-26 14:32:13 Let’s hope today’s talks really do end in a deal being struck so this strike can end. The last Speechless
video is up and well worth watching so I’m embedding it below. Check it out:

As Seen by Rae: Chickens, Blackmailers, & Bridesmaids! Oh My! 2007-11-26 14:12:06 I know I have other things to post about but it feels like forever since I’ve actually rambled about TV (probably because it has been forever) so that’s just what I’m going to do. I’m finally all caught up on things and didn’t even have to do too much juggling last night.
I am, however, going [...]

And it’s not stopping with this post either because I want to talk about one holiday special that aired last night and remind you about another airing tonight.
I’ll do the reminder first so I don’t spoil anyone for what’s already aired. [...]

TV Advent: Day 7, Holiday Avatars 2007-12-07 10:52:30 I love the holidays and I especially love the excuse to get dressed up. Whether it’s wearing a nice dress to the office holiday party or donning a santa hat for a fun holiday luncheon, I’m all about wearing something a little special.
Why should it be any different online? Just Jody know this about me [...]

C is for Cookie 2007-12-05 20:51:13 Every year at Christmas time, I give away boxes of cookies as presents to my co-workers. Which means I end up baking lots and lots of cookies. Exhibit A: See picture below, the assortment of cookies I made two years ago.
Sometimes my tendency to procrastinate leaves me settling for easy cookies, the ones I make [...]

Madea Drops in on House of Payne 2007-12-04 18:10:36 This weekend I re-watched Madea’s Family Reunion. I know I’m not exactly Tyler Perry’s target demo but I love me some Madea and that movie is guaranteed to make me cry every time. Actually, I pretty much love everything that Tyler Perry does. Did you know EW just named him one of Hollywood’s 50 smartest [...]

Getting List-y on a Monday 2007-12-17 14:01:22 You know I really thought I was ready for the holidays this year. We had more time between Thanksgiving and Christmas and I actually got some presents early. I was all set to be cruising right along with my normal routine. Yeah. Silly pipe dreams.
Thank goodness for the TV Advent Calendar… it’s forced me to [...]

TV Advent: Day 16, Season's Greetings from CBS 2007-12-16 20:01:22 It’s been a long day of fighting the mall crowds to do some Christmas shopping followed up by a couple hours of wrapping (tomorrow comes the mailing).
It seems like the perfect day for this simple holiday greeting that CBS aired back in the early 70s:

Time is Running Out to Create Your Hero 2007-12-14 14:44:51 Ok Heroes fans, be honest with me… have you managed to resist the temptation of those ‘Create Your Hero’ commercials/promos over the past few weeks? I know I haven’t.
Even after I’ve voted, I go back for more. What can I say, it’s actually kind of fun to watch how the majority vote. For instance, it [...]
TV Advent: Day 14, Seasons Greetings from Twin Peaks 2007-12-14 10:41:02 Nothing quite captures the magic of the winter holiday season like stop motion animation, and I have here a bonus feature on the recently released Twin Peaks

TV Advent: Day 13, It's A Wonderful Radio Version 2007-12-13 21:58:49 It’s funny how classic holiday movies are holiday “TV” for me. I own several Christmas movies on DVD but that’s never the same as watching their broadcasts during the weeks leading up to Christmas. All of that to explain why I couldn’t leave It’s A Wonderful
Life out of this calendar.

Hanging out with the cast of NBC's Chuck: Part Two 2007-12-13 18:29:39 Warner Brothers kindly invited The TV Whore to a promotional shoot for Chuck
this past weekend. Since I am her eyes and ears here in Los Angeles, she invited me and I got to spend my Sunday with Zachary Levi (Chuck), Adam Baldwin (Casey), and Yvonne Strahovski (Sarah).
After getting our marching orders and introducing ourselves [...]

12 of 12: December 07 2007-12-13 08:32:16 Well, after failing to get my November 12 of 12 up (what with the traveling to LA and such), I definitely wanted to follow through with December

Sorry for the lack of exciting. As you’ll see, I spent the majority of the day in my office and I didn’t feel like carrying a [...]
Who in the heck is Zac Levi and why should I care? 2007-12-12 14:07:48 The best way to get a sense of who Zachary Levi is—barring meeting the man in person—is to watch the TV series he stars in on NBC: Chuck. The character and the actor share a sweet innocence, a sense of humor, and a giant heart. Not to mention a winning smile and a deep love [...]
TV Advent: Day 23, Sketching the Holidays 2007-12-23 19:15:17 There’s nothing better than sitting around the Christmas tree with your family laughing your ass off. My sisters and I are usually up chatting late at night which means we’re often up and watching Saturday Night Live together.
Over the years SNL has had some great holiday sketches. I wish they were all available online [...]

TV Advent: Day 21, A Very Christmas-y Credit Sequence 2007-12-21 22:31:25 This is going to be the lamest advent entry yet (your mileage may vary) but Christmas

Needless to say, I’ve been spending precious TV Advent

Hanging with the cast of NBC's Chuck: Part Three 2007-12-21 21:03:20 As you probably gleaned from reading parts one and two of this recap, the three lead actors on the series Chuck
really do like each other. When Zac Levi, Adam Baldwin, and Yvonne Strahovsky are in the same room together there is a light and jokey atmosphere, like kids on a playground or cousins hanging [...]

How’s that even possible?! I’ve seen it at least a hundred times and only about ten of those times were intentional. It seems like you’d have to go out of your [...]
