I'm glad I skipped my Thursday plans...lots of TV tonight!!

The new season of America's Best Dance Crew returns tonight at 10 on MTV & also up at 10 is the new season of Real Housewives of New York on Bravo which I'm really looking forward to though I'm not so sure about having the new brunette housewife & Sonja...it seems like it might be a kind of crowded cast, especially when you include the teeth of the new girl "Cindy".

Also up tonight is the return of Secret Diary of a Call Girl for its 3rd & I'm pretty sure final season on Showtime at 10:30 followed by the new reality show Gigolos at 11 which is about just that...a group of guys who work as escorts in Las Vegas & honestly, I wouldn't pay any one of them for sex or fun or anything else...they just aren't attractive.  Well, Jimmy isn't too bad but he looks like a cross between James Van Der Beek & this guy I dated for a couple weeks back in high school.

And if you are watching The Kennedys don't forget to tune in to Reelz tonight at 8 for the 5th part in the saga.

The Kennedy's - full schedule

The Kennedys started last night on Reelz & so far, so good.  I think Greg Kinnear was a great choice as Jack & Barry Pepper seems to be fitting into his role as Bobby pretty well also but I'm still a bit uncertain about Katie Holmes as Jackie.  Not that she's bad at the role, I just find that I see a lot of Katie in the role where with the others I see the character not the actor but we are only 2 parts in so I assume it will develop more as the story unfolds, especially since the first 2 parts were much more about Jack & his life & family than his marriage to Jackie so her moments in it were short.

I know it was always so commonplace for men to cheat back then but watching a man kiss his secretary right in front of his wife & her not say a word was a little crazy to me.  I'm sure having all of the perks & financial security of being a Kennedy was a major bargaining point back then, as we saw Jack's dad try to buy Jackie off for a cool Million to stay married to Jack, but even so I don't know that I would have been able to put up with the infidelity like Jack's mother & Jackie did.  No amount of money is worth being made a fool of so I cannot wait until we get to the whole Marilyn saga & see just how much of a fool Jackie looks like to the American people.  I was not alive at this time so everything I've heard could be askew but I will soon find out as this Kennedy's miniseries unfolds.  See below for channels & air times & don't miss the next 7 episodes!

Dish - 299

  • Sunday (4/10) 2-Hour Movie Event Finale

I do need to thank this miniseries for introducing me to the Reelz channel as well.  I don't know when we received it through my cable company, I know it wasn't there when I signed up for my service 3 years ago but when I saw this miniseries coming I checked & sure enough Reelz was in my lineup (along with Reelz HD) which made me so very happy!  During the commercials which I of course fast forwarded through I learned a lot about the channel & the fact that they do show a lot of programming that I like...sure, they show programs I wish had never been on ever but that's personal preference because a lot of people loved them.  For example, you can tune in daily to watch shows like Cheers, Becker, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Ally McBeal, Brothers & Sisters...etc.  They have original shows that discuss movies, they show movies, and their tag line is "TV about movies" & I love both TV & Movies so I added this channel to my favorites!

Enjoy the rest of The Kennedy's & enjoy everything that Reelz has to offer as well!!
