Well, another season of Sister Wives has come to a close! Can you even believe it?? We've been watching this motley crew of Mormons for four entire seasons now, witnessing such huge life changes as the addition of a fourth wife, two new babies, a major geographical move, and much, much more. And after all that, what does the world at large care about? What's the only Sister Wives related issue the Browns' faithful audience really, really cares about?? 

Well, actually there are two:

1. Are the wives jealous of each other?

2. Are they ever gonna add a fifth wife?

Yup, essentially the same questions that everybody's had for the Browns since Day 1 (or since after Robyn became the official fourth wife, anyway). So of course Kody, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn addressed those questions while on the couch during the "Sister Wives Tell All" segment of the show, and of course their answers were the same as they always are:

1. Yes, sometimes the wives get jealous of each other but that's to be expected and it's just something they all deal with and blah, blah, blah.

2. Um, well, Kody's not actively seeking another wife but then again he didn't go out looking for Robyn, either, and she just happened and, um ...

Personally, I don't think the Browns will be tossing another wife into the mix anytime soon -- or anytime, ever, really. (Not from the look on Christine's face when the idea came up.) Plus, now that TLC already has that My 5 Wives show lined up, what would be the point?

Anyway. Not a whole lotta cliffhangers going into season 5, but maybe that's okay. Maybe we'll just tune into Sister Wives as a way of checking in on old friends instead of getting our vicarious plural marriage kicks. On that note, check out this clip of the kids saying nice stuff about their nice parents:

Nadie puede creer ni esta noche es el Final de la temporada de Esposas hermana?? Es cierto, estamos apenas unas horas de un episodio especial de doble de hermana esposas incluyendo la "terapia de matrimonio polígamo," en que "Kody y sus cuatro esposas enfrentan sus problemas de relación en una pareja retirada que incluye una sesión de meditación que les ayuda a llegar al fondo de sus conflictos internos" y "hermana esposas dicen todo," uno de los "todo el mundo se sienta en el sofá y responde a las preguntas de espectador" se refiere. Me parece muy jugoso, dang??

No puedo decidir qué parte de la final de la temporada estoy deseando más, las matrimonio polígamo terapia parejas la retirada o la sesión de Q&A. Supongo que todo depende de cuál es la mitad de la especial termina siendo más revelador. Es decir, las esposas de hermana realmente dirá todo?? Dudoso, pero espero que estas 5 preguntas se encuentran entre las consultas respondidas:

¿1. Meri realmente quiere a otro bebé?

2. ¿Cómo te pagan por todas esas casas otra vez?

3. Igual que #2, excepto en reemplazar "casas" con "seguro de salud".

4. ¿Qué piensa realmente Janelle de "Armario de mi SisterWife"?

5. No importa los niños: ¿Qué opina de las esposas de estilo faux-surfista de Kody?

¿Qué preguntas candentes que esperas conseguir respondidas en hermana esposas Season Finale esta noche.

Major 'Mad Men' News Changes Everything We Know About Season 7

dinsdag 17 september 2013

HUGE, exciting announcement for Mad Men fans! Just when we thought we were going to have to kiss the show goodbye forever after season 7 wraps in early summer 2014, AMC has announced that the final, seventh season will consist of 14 episodes -- as opposed to the usual 13 -- and will be split up into two "mini-seasons" consisting of seven episodes each. One will air this coming spring 2014, and the other ... spring 2015! Eeee!!!

SO awesome! That means we'll basically be getting the benefit of a season 8 ... without an actual season 8. All right, sure, I guess not the FULL benefit, because that would mean 26 more episodes total as opposed to 14, but still, being a beggar at creator Matthew Weiner's mercy, we'll take what we can get, right?!

Here's what else we know (so far) ...

The first half of season 7 is being referred to as "The Beginning." And the second half is called "The End of an Era." Sigh, yes, yes, it will be!The network decided to do it this way mostly because it has "worked well" with Breaking Bad, which attracted nearly double the number of viewers to its second half premiere than had watched any previous episode. Whoa! Well, not surprising, I guess. Splitting ANY final installment this way definitely amps up the anticipation quotient. (See: Harry Potter, Twilight, etc.)Weiner, the writers, and the cast/crew are cool with it. In AMC's statement, he notes, "We plan to take advantage of this chance to have a more elaborate story told in two parts, which can resonate a little bit longer in the minds of our audience. The writers, cast, and other artists welcome this unique manner of ending this unique experience.”We can look forward to a "powerful sendoff," according to Kevin Beggs, Chairman of Lionsgate TV Group.

Now the big questions this news obviously brings to mind! Does this mean season 7 will cover 1969 and 1970, or just the first half of the year and the second? And if it's the latter, my guess is that Weiner may end the "mid-season" finale somewhere around July 20, 1969 -- when we first landed on the moon, cuz that could stand for all sorts of dramatic, metaphoric meaning ... Will they film it all at once or split up the production, too? Will everyone want to participate in both mini-seasons or will someone drop out at the last moment? Eek! Hope not!

Either way, knowing we've got two more years of Mad Men to look forward to is a real treat. Can't wait!

What do you think about this new plan to split season 7?

'DWTS' Premiere Recap: Season 17 Kicks Off With One Shock After Another

AppId is over the quota
por Mary Fischer hace 10 horas

Ahhhhh! Sé que no soy el único que literalmente se levantó del sofá y aplaudieron durante el estreno de Dancing With the Stars temporada 17 esta noche. OMG. ¿Dónde diablos han sido esconden estos concursantes? Por primera vez en no sé cuánto tiempo, que no podía dejar sonriendo de oreja a oreja como cada pareja tomó la pista de baile.

La primera noche de DWTS suele ser incómodo, incómodo, un poco aburrido y también algo vergonzoso... pero este elenco está seriamente en llamas.

Y podrían que se echaron las cosas esta noche con alguien más caliente que Brandt Daugherty. ¿Por qué nunca oí de este tipo antes? Es todo tipo de sexy como el infierno y mucho más. (Mamá me gusta). Y él y Peta Murgatroyd tenemos química loco, así que deben ser muy interesantes ver esta temporada.

Después de actuación Brandt y de Peta, que la mitad espera el show al comienzo va cuesta abajo bastante rápido, pero luego solo guardé mejorando y sorprendió a los diablos de todo el mundo.

¿ Corbin Bleu? Sí, sí, sé que es un poco en el lado experimentado, pero todavía-- Karina Smirnoff y él eran impresionantes.

Y OMG-- Jack Osbourne. ¿No era nada corta de adorable, pero también probó ser muy suave en sus pies--quién sabían? (Y totalmente empecé a romper después de ver a su madre Sharon llorando en la audiencia.)

Elizabeth Berkley también me llamó la atención y es mirar hacia fuera para esta temporada. Ok, así que tal vez fue Val Chmerkovskiy que me había pegado a la TV, pero como sea.

Y no me hagas hablar sobre Amber Riley. ¿Puede esa chica moverlo y agitar, o qué? Es de noche sólo uno, pero si ella y Derek Hough seguir este ritmo, les sería fácil tomar el trofeo de bola de espejo.

Por supuesto, tuvieron que salvar a Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi para el final, y debo decir que ella entregó totalmente. Definitivamente lleva esta competencia (y su vida) en serio, que es tan refrescante. La quiero. (Y Len la llamó un poco "pocket rocket". El pobre no tenía ni idea lo que dijo, y fue increíble).

Hmm. Si tuviera que elegir un favorito esta noche pero voy a tener que dar mi voto a Jack Osbourne. Es demasiado lindo para resistir.

OMG. No puedo esperar para la próxima semana.

¿Quién es tu concursante favorito hasta ahora?

'Mad Men' Season 7: Creator Matthew Weiner Dishes Series Finale Details

vrijdag 13 september 2013

Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner appears to have ditched the writer's room and put season 7 on hold for the time being. Before you flip out and call the guy a slacker, let me clarify ... Weiner's first feature film, You Are Here, starring Owen Wilson and Zach Galifianakis, premiered in at the Toronto Film Festival this week. He's been hanging out with our neighbors to the north and chatting with the press.

Of course, everyone's curious about the flick but also can't help but ask him about Mad Men. And for that reason, it's a good thing he's not holed up, because he revealed some exciting details about what he's worked on so far and what we can expect when the show returns (maybe in April?!) ...

Weiner revealed to USA Today:

I opened the writer's room almost a month ago. I figure out the arc for the entire season first. I've known for a while (how it will go).

While we knew that, he made it sound like this seventh -- and most likely final -- season goes all out, leaving no stone unturned.

I don't want to leave anything on the table. It has its own organic direction.

So vague! "Organic direction"? What does that MEAN? He lets Don and Peggy and Joan and Betty, etc. lead him to the series' inevitably gasp-worthy climax? He spoke in a bit more detail to Vanity Fair:

Right now, I have a new challenge, which is how to end the show, so that is occupying my time.

But, Matt, we thought you had that ending figured out a long time ago ...?! Hmmm ...

He addressed VF's Q about whether he felt he "used up" that final image of Don looking at his childhood home with Sally, Bobby, and Gene by writing it into the finale of season 6:

I do have a different idea for the end of the series, but I’ll tell you, now that I’m at the bottom of the mountain looking up there, I have thought, “Wow, you idiot! You could have walked away from there.” But it’s an honor to have a challenge like this. And I love that 78 episodes into the series, people are telling me that they think that was the best episode of the show. How did that happen? I am lucky to have an audience that is invested. For me, the real pressure is living up to what those people expect. I do have an ending that is different than that, and hopefully when the series will be over, they will see it as another step in [Don’s] development.

Love that it sounds like what we want as fans and how we'll react to the show really is important to Weiner. He expressed to EW.com:

I went through this before with The Sopranos, and I can tell you that the audience is certainly more in your mind than it ever was.

Sounds like a good sign to me!

What do you think Matt Weiner has up his sleeve for the end of Mad Men?
