I sit here trying to think of what TV show I will write about as I listen to my Keith Urban CD, just kind of jamming out. Occasionally I belt out a tune and I can only imagine what the neighbors must be thinking. Raining on Sundaaaayyyy.... Now how do you jam out to country music you may ask? Well, if you have ever been to a Keith Urban concert then you know he sure as hell can rock out. With just a look into the camera that displays his face on the screen across the back of the stage he can silence an audience and then send thousands of fans into shrills and screams. All from a look! Man, I wish I had that power.. Anyways..
I am searching for my TV topic today and not because I have nothing to say but mainly because I don't know where to begin. It seems that when you start a blog everyone has an opinion on what you should write about. I now have so many ideas just floating in my mind I can't decide what is good enough to actually put out there for others to read.
I was able to catch a new show that debuted on the USA Network last week called Royal Pains. I was leary of it at first because it had a very "Burn Notice-esq" quality. The show is about a Doctor who loses his license and then is forced to become a concierge Doctor to hoity toity rich people in the Hamptons. Sound familiar? At least they didn't say he was a "burned" Dr, I guess. Now I don't usually fall for sloppy second TV shows and NOTHING can compare to Burn Notice but I will give credit when credit is due and I actually found this show to be very entertaining.
The lead character Dr. Hank Lawson played by Mark Feuerstein was very charming and so sweet that you instantly root for him. You even feel for his character when he gets fired for saving a young teen instead of a rich benefactor to the hospital--as though he really had a choice in who lived or died. He's not g-d! When his snotty fiance breaks up with him because he is no longer a rich Doctor, you can't imagine what else can go wrong for the poor guy. A montage of him spending the next few months in his apartment as his assets are taken away and he lounges in sweats, eating junk food, had me laughing out loud.
When his brother forces him to get out of the house and party it up in the Hamptons he encounters the lify styles of the rich and famous who are in need of medical help on the down low. Now I have been to the Hamptons and Montauk but I guess I am not cool enough to see what is going on behind the scene of those gorgeous mansions. Drug over-doses, teens who crash dads car and even a Cougar with a deflated silicon boob are just a few of the "ordeals" Hank is faced with. Given the opportunity to become the local "concierge doctor" in town might be just the opportunity this broke and confused Dr. is looking for. The show totally reeled me in with shots of the Montauk Lighthouse and of course the windmill that leads you down Montauk Highway. I will certainly be tuning in for a second episode.
Some reality shows also debuted this past weekend. One is Kendra Wilkinson the playmate from the show Girls Next Door show called what else-- Kendra and also Denise Richards' show Complicated. Now why any stars are still doing reality TV I am not quite sure. It is practically the kiss of death. If you are married you will most likely be divorced before you hit syndication and why anyone would want their "blonde moments" aired on national TV is beyond me, but it does make for some funny moments if you have nothing better to watch.
Kendra is newly engaged and embarking into the "adult world" instead of "adult entertainment" and it is quite comical watching her try to do food shopping and cleaning for the first time. She takes her new fiance to meet Hugh Hefner (her ex!) and you can definitely say the situation is a tad awkward. It is so odd to me that she calls Hugh Hefner her ex boyfriend. I mean I guess yeah he is and I guess they had sex, um eww.. but I feel like she was introducing her fiance to her dad. It was kind of sweet when he offered up the Playboy Mansion to host their wedding and the engagement clip of when Kendra's fiance proposed actually made me tear up a bit, but I guess time will tell if these two even make it down the aisle.
As for Denise Richards' show, well I am not sure what is so "Complicated" about her life. Seems to me she just looks to make drama. I do like how much she loves her family though and I am interested to see if the reconciliation between her and Charlie Sheen and his new wife make it on to the screen. Guess I will have to tune in and see.
