She Blogs About This and That!

Ok so it’s not about his personality to start with, but the characters he has played over the years, that have made him the most hateable TV person on my list. I know he is handsome and totally metrosexual – looking, but hey, nobody coerced him into playing the two worst characters on Television. So here goes, the “ that third guy who broke the cute couple up” roles he played: Mark Robinson – FRIENDS: Who doesn’t remember his character Mark Robinson from FRIENDS? We all hated him, when he got Rachel an interview at Bloomingdale’s, we hated him when Rachel hugged him leaving Ross cold after her interview, we hated him when he got her Chinese food right after Ross & Rachel’s situation which later got very famous as the “we were on a break” scene, we hated him when he told Rachel he had a huge crush on her but didn’t act upon it because she was with Ross then, we hated him and this was the last nail in the coffin– when he took Rachel out and hurt Ross (Unintentional?

Ok I take my words back.. In fact am very busy eating them now! I am back to being a “Supergleek”. Glee’s “Girls (and Boys) on Film” was an interesting and entertaining episode. William Shuester finally came up with an idea to put Gleeks back on top. First things first – Good points: Blaine and Kurt’s rendition of Moulin Rouge’s “Come what may” is by far the best on the show. I could feel the hurt Blaine felt with the song. Darren Criss is growing stronger and stronger with each passing day and it is no wonder that he has become one of the most popular actors on Glee today. And Wow! Shuester hunting Emma to win her love back was just so creatively put together. When I watched John Cusack (the cutest man alive, according to Susie ) in that boombox scene from “Say Antyhing” , I thought so here’s a scene that no man can do as good as this guy. But boy was I wrong! Will was so charming Emma had to surrender to his manly charms. I think only Glee creators know how to mix tw

Seems like Glee writers really don’t have much of a story to tell ! Season 4 is an evidence to this fact. When Glee first started, it was highly appreciated for its fresh approach towards making something different – a Musical. It changed the whole perspective of Glee clubs in schools. I really loved the show’s format and was into the mashups they created. But now it seems like the new season is nothing but old wine in a new bottle as the same story is being retold with new faces! So there was this loser guy who wanted to bring a revolution of sorts by trying to get kids enroll in a Glee club ( Mr . Shuester), and an underdog (Rachel) who was tremendously talented but lacked oomph!  And she was in love with this famous dude ( Finn ). And there was this mean  cheerleader ( Quinn ) whose objective in life was to keep the underdog away from the man she is in love with – yes the same famous dude .  Then there was this black kid who was really re

Some directors and writers take a huge influence from older TV serials and movies. This is apparent in the character and scene lifts in the newer TV sitcoms today. There is no answer to why these lifts weren’t argued against by the original makers. I mean, of course imitation is the highest form of flattery but sometimes it irks.. Doesn't it? Here are a few characters’ traits and scenes  that have inspired newer sitcoms. 1. Danny Tanner and Monica Before Monica became the idol for all cleanliness freaks out there, DannyTanner was known for his OCD of cleaning. He can even be seen cleaning leaves of his garden! The man was so obsessed about cleaning that he even cleaned his cleaning liquid bottles (notice how many times I have used “clean” there?). There is a scene in season 9 of FRIENDS where Mon could be seen cleaning a big vacuum cleaner with a smaller one. This scene is directly lifted from one of the Full House episodes (will list the season and episode when I r

For F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans, deciding upon who the best couple on the show still remains a bone of contention. For some its Ross and Rachel and for others its Monica and Chandler. I belong to the “others” part of the above statement. Yes, Ross and Rachel were perfect and Mon and Chan were not! And that s what exactly makes their chemistry strong. The first time I thought they could make an awesome couple was when I watched the episode in season 1 where Carol’s having Ross’s baby. There is a scene where Mon is emotional about being single. That is when Chandler proposes of marrying her if neither of them is married by the time they are 40! I thought that was very sweet of him. The 4 th season again has a scene where Mon is again emotional for being single (having been broken off with her billionaire boyfriend Pete). That’s when Chan says something like “worse comes to worse, I ll be your boyfriend”.. (I went “awwwwww…”)! I mean Mon laughs hysterically when he says that bu

It's hard to find writers like Whitney Cummings today. I am a fan of her sitcom 2 Broke Girls and find it very interesting and super funny. Kat Dennings is especially at her best. I had seen her before in “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”, which is one bomb diggity movie. Kat’s character Norah is so mellow in the movie that it really surprises you to see her in Max’s avatar on the show. The best thing about the show is undoubtedly its story line. We all have heard about “rags-to-riches” stories but this one is just the opposite. Caroline, played by Beth Behrs , is the daughter of a formerly wealthy man, who because of Ponzy scam is in a prison. So accustomed is she to her wealthy life that she thinks Max’s “frugal” ly designed apartment is “robbed” when she first moves in. That particular scene was enough for me to know that the show is really, I mean REALLY funny! You will hear Caroline say “Max’s Homemade Cupcakes” at least thrice every episode (after th

It is kind of a given that most viewers are influenced by the kind of cinema or TV shows they watch. One of the many reasons behind this, can be the fact that these programs sometimes preach us a lot of things besides just being the subjects of entertainment. People, at certain points start relating their lives to these TV shows or movies as characters these days are created very close to reality. Such being the scenario, there are a few TV characters that have millions of followers literally worshipping them and every word they say. Here is my list of top 5 cult TV figures. 1.        Barney Stinson- How I Met Your Mother So the sitcom is actually about Ted, who narrates a series of episodes to his children about how he met their mother (duh!). But more than Ted, it is the character of Niel Patrick Harris , Barney Stinoson that caught all the attention. This guy is weird like heck and creates his own pseudo- theories (like “The Lemon Law”) and stories (“True story” rea

When I take Jodie Sweetin's name ( @JodieTweetin ) , I am sure there are only two things that come to your minds: one her successful career as Stephanie Tanner in the 90’s sitcom “full house”, the second is her infamous meth addiction. I am reminded of a monologue from the recent hit “ The vow ” to explain why these are the only two things people remember of her. It goes something like this “the sum of all the moments of impacts make us what we are”. So in this case, her huge moments of impact were delivering absolutely wonderful performances as a kid and forgetting what to do after she became, as she puts it, “jobless at the age of thirteen”! The reason behind her second “moment of impact” – the “growing up pains” theory There is a theory regarding child actors growing up to be not so popular individuals. I am just gonna call it “the growin up pains” theory (Yeah, yeah I know it sounds like Kirk Cameron’s popular sitcom "Growing pains").They say people
