Jodie Sweetin is back, you guys!

Three and a half years ago, I wrote a post about Jodie Sweetin and other child stars who went through traumas growing up. Little did I know, Jodie would be back with a bang! Because Full House is a syndicated show and I possess all 8 seasons of it in my hard disk (Thanks Susie !), I am frequently re-watching the show to kill boredom (or to feel good that I was born to a beautifully calm gen). And also I am a very huge fan of Stephanie Tanner that it border-lines on obsession sometimes! I was always keen on seeing where the girls of Full House would end up as grown-ups. And like most of the child stars of 90s, Hollywood wasn't generous on them. While Jodie and Candace continued to act, Andrea Barber left the whole scene to go live a conventional house wife life. I dont want this to look like a biased opinion of a Jodie loyalist, but she was special. She was not only a Grade A actress, but also a talented dancer and singer. You can see snippets of her dancing on the show in

How I Watched a MOTHERload of Bullshit for 9 years (or How the Mother of All Craps ate us up part –by-part for 9 years, you pick)

(Before you read further, this is not an outrageous rant of a frustrated Fan! Please note that I am no longer a Fan and I have burnt all the DVDs in literal sense and not in the copying-the-data-to sense!) Ok, Its official. The writers of HIMYM are the worst bunch of story tellers of all times. What a MOTHERload of crap! They should have named the finale "LOST forever" and not "Last forever"!This surpasses the supreme level of bullshit set by 2 Broke Girls and Anger Management! What were they thinking? Lets write about love and ruin it all in one blasphemous, sucking-at-multiple-levels, buttload of dinosaour crap of a stupid, stupid episode! (This should have been the end of all of it  -  http://hollywoodlife.com/2014/04/02/how-i-met-your-mother-alternate-ending-fanmade-video-watch/ ) When they revealed the mom, I thought, Now there is something realistic. Whatever she looked like, how much ever she received flaks for not being Robin-isque, I still loved th

Things "Desperate Housewives" Taught Me:

In the wake of Eva Longoria being named Maxim's "Woman of the Year", I am teleported back to the era of " Desperate Housewives ”. It’s been 2 years now since the show ended but the women of Wisteria lane still remain in our memories as the strongest women ever created on TV. Though it mostly belonged to a thriller-drama genre, it was considered a comedy too. There were some serious moments, some very funny ones, some absolutely deliriously painful moments and some emotional ones. Let’s relive some of those diverse moments now in the form of a list of life lessons each of these witty and glamorous housewives taught us: 1. Things Gabby taught us: a. It’s okay to love oneself - You know who I am talking about - the narcissistic yet affable Gabriel Solis. So what if she spent hours doing yoga, so what if she had a room full of clothes and shoes, so what if she cheated on her husband, so what if she lied occasionally? She did em all to keep herself h

The TV Shows That Should Have Run Longer!

With the arrival of TV’s new fall season, I am reminded of the shows that got cancelled after a season or two despite having a good first season. Its so sad, because some of them had some great moments, some resplendent and some witty and very infectiously funny moments! Why the networks chose to cancel these shows is a mystery since crappy shows like 2 broke girls (did any of you find the second season funny? Or appealing to common sense in any way?), Anger Management (sorry Sir Charlie, the show is a ball of mess –with its cringe worthy jokes) are still on. Here are some of the shows I think deserved at least 8 seasons run! 1.    Go On: Trust me, I thought this show would give Perry a chance to be known as something other than Chandler Muriel Bing. Mathew’s portrayal of a widowed guy, who s in the process of finding ways to move on in life, was worthy of an Emmy nomination. The guy knew when to make you laugh, when to make you cry and evoke whole other range of

RIP Cory Montieth – You will be missed dearly

Last week brought such a shock to the Gleeks all over the world! Just when we thought Rachel and Finn were going to marry on Glee, Cory’s untimely death shattered it all for us. I am still mourning the loss of one of the best singers of our generation. I am still saddened by the fact that Cory destroyed it all for himself. Who am I to speak, I know. But it’s still very unsettling. The fact that he was on heroine and alcohol!  It is very sad that people lose control upon getting addicted to substances. But when god has given it all and the going is good, you would expect people to enjoy that while it lasts. God should have added “control” to his list of giving for Cory . Anyways, here are my top 3 moments of Finn Hudson from Glee. 1.        Rachel, please don't do this. You're beautiful      Yes, the awww moment is one of the best moments on TV. Finn’s love for Rachel was reflected in  acceptance of who she was. When she tried to get her nose job done, to l
