Dismayed

It is with great regret and sorrow of heart that we share this unfortunate turn of events.  After such a beautiful season finale, USA Network has decided not to renew Fairly Legal. There will be no season 3. 

We will never know what might have been between Kate & Ben.... They should put out one last episode wrapping up the story - it seems only fair.  

Unfortunately, this is not our only bad news of the day - they have also decided not to renew Common Law as well.  We have no idea what the network was thinking, but judging from their viewer's posts on Facebook, we are not the only ones disappointed.

We will refrain from calling this a tragedy, because as we all know TV shows ending is hardly something to cry over.  We are, however, sad to see such wonderful entertainment end.  

We wish the actors best of luck, and hope to see them in new shows soon.

**This post is not meant to be ungrateful in light of recent events.  Our prayers go out to the victims of Hurricane Sandy for their devastating loss.

She Could Use a Good Concussion

What a wonderful TTWT we enjoyed!  We made Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes, but we’ll devote another post to that later J  After the delicious pancakes, we settled into our regular routine (a.k.a. Clipping Coupons & watching TV).  We watched a Melissa & Joey episode, which was quite entertaining.   Lars and Vincienzo sounded quite interesting J  Plus, Mel & Joe are still dancing around possible feelings for each other – so we continue to watch & wait.  We especially enjoyed the season finale of Fairly Legal.  I must say the writers of that show have done a wonderful job on Ben Grogan’s character.  Every one of us HATED him when he first came on the show and were so mad they made him a permanent character.  Then as you know (if you’ve been following our blog) we ended up divided as to which man Kate should be with (Justin or Ben, Justin or Ben, Justin or Ben?).  Did Ben really deserve her; he’s not exactly a great guy and doesn’t have the best track record.  But on the other hand, Justin already had his shot… But now, at long last, they have changed our minds; and we could not be happier about the possibilities they left us with this season!  What a perfect ending to a season.  Other than some shady decisions by Lauren, they didn’t really leave us hanging – just excited about what could happen next season.

Common Law

I've been asked where I find these men (by an anonymous reader), and I  must admit - they seem to find me.  I just stumble upon their photos!  Now if only they weren't just pictures....

We had plenty of coupons to cut this week, so once we were all present we retired to the living room to begin.  It usually takes us awhile before we get down to business - we usually languish in the kitchen chatting.  Since we started so early, we finished our episode of Fairly Legal and still had plenty of time left over!  Our members are still divided as to which man we prefer she end up with, but since we have no control over the situation, we try to keep our arguing to a minimum. 

So last week, while watching commercials for a new show called Common Law we decided that since the men were attractive and the plot entertaining we should record some.  Our ingenious forethought prevented our TV boredom this week!  We thoroughly enjoyed the first episode, their constant banter (some might call it arguing) was rather amusing.  Below are our favorite quotes from the evening:

"What are we, in junior high?"

"That was a tough 6 years for you, wasn't it Brady?"

Wes: "I don't know if you know this or not, but you're blocking a handicap spot."

"You can't rob a store from the back!"
"Leave me alone, it's my first time!"

Michael Elay & Warren Kole

Cheerio!

Just because we find it so gosh-darn funny!!

It was a lazy kinda night.  Planning the vacation menu, cutting coupons, trying on a prom dress, chatting, etc.  Then of course we watched our episode of Fairly Legal.  We were uncertain as to how we all felt about that episode.  We felt bad for Ben, but at the same time - Justin was her husband and Ben used to be such a jerk.  Oh the drama.... Well only time will tell, we'll just have to see what happens next week - maybe Kate can work this all out, just like one of her mediations.  We are hoping to have a guest blogger in the near future.  One of our members received a most wonderful letter; written in a style so reminiscent of our own, that we couldn't help but adore it!  So be on the lookout and tell your friends!

Your Weekly TTWT Eye Candy

We wouldn't want to disappoint!!



Full on Major Monkey

Well it looks like blogger changed.  NOT A FAN!!  Why does everyone feel the need to change things that aren't broken?!  Facebook timeline anyone?  No thank you.  New Blogger format anyone?  No thank you.

Well I suppose that's enough whining for one post... 

On a brighter note, the fabulous chicas of TTWT have answered the age old question: No, you cannot do rock moves on a ukelele!  I'm sure that has been keep some of you up at night, but you can rest easy tonight. 

Also, we wanted to pass on a warning that we received tonight.  Well, maybe it's not really a warning, but maybe a life motto of sorts.  I suppose we can let you all judge for yourselves, so here it is: "Don't wake up in a road-side ditch!"  For some people those could indeed be words to live by!

     

For the second meeting in a row we had the pleasure of our dearest physician's company - it was wonderful.  Due to previous engagements, we were a bit behind on our Fairly Legal episodes, so we enjoyed 3 (yes, three) whole episodes!  It would seem that Ben is begining to have a soul.  Although our members are a bit divided on the issue.  We have hated Ben's guts for so long that we're not really sure what to do about him & Kate together...  On one hand Kate seems to make him be a better man (a better human being in fact), but we love Justin - we've loved him from the beginning.  We wanted him & Kate to make this work!!  Only time will tell - but he better not be using her.... And Leo, oh Leo you are still just as fabulous as ever - so clever, and that inattentional blindness trick with the clown wig was superb.

Our favorite quote from the night's episodes (we might be paraphrasing a bit): "The gods love irony - like when a tornado destroys a wind chime store!"  We're just glad he used the term irony correctly - so few people do these days....

So one final thought - why in the world can't Ben wear his hair like this in the show!!??

I know it's only Wednesday, but this might help you get thru the rest of the week :p

He's Australian, single & plays rugby :)

After enjoying some delicious strawberries, provided by our host, we finished cutting our coupons for the evening and retired to the living room to enjoy Fairly Legal's first episode of the season.  Sadly they didn't start the episode with a "last season on Fairly Legal" clip, so we were a bit lost during the first few minutes because we couldn't remember how the season had ended.  It was an enjoyable espisode and it ended with a bang - literally.  We then enjoyed some old episodes of Reba in which Van was exceptional.  Our witty title comes from that episide actually.  Van was attempting to be fatherly and told little Jake "If you keep watching that TV your head will turn into a boob tube!"

Well we hope you enjoyed our post for the week - just in case you didn't enjoy some jokes!!

"Why was 6 afraid of 7?" 

"Because 7 8 9!!"  *Courtesy of little Jake

"Which are the stronger days of the week?"

"Saturday & Sunday - the rest are weakdays"

"When does it rain money?"

"When there's change in the weather!"

Yeah - some of those are cheesy, but hopefully you cracked a smile.  ZAPATOS!!

Here's one for the Side-Kick

We have touched on this subject before (mysaltysociables.blogspot.com/2011/09/pretzels.html), but I believe it is worth repeating - and today we will delve deeper into the importance of an assistant in TV shows. It could be thought of as  

*yes we just made that up, but I think by the end of this post you'll agree that it is valid 

For every Batman, you need a great side-kick and in the office world, your side-kick is your assistant.  

As we've mentioned before, Melissa's assistant Stephanie (from Melissa & Joey) is a great asset to the show.  She's hyperactive and has a crush on Joe, which always makes us laugh.  In Drop Dead Diva Jane has a great no-nonsense, go-getter for an assistant.  

Terri keeps Jane grounded and doesn't like to take crap from people, and makes sure Jane doesn't either. Plus the fact that she's a Private Detective (as well as an assistant) makes her super cool in our book.

In Fairly Legal, Kate Reed has a fabulous assistant named Leonardo Prince (usually called Leo for short).  He's enthusiastic, quite resourceful and he has a knack for keeping Kate out of trouble with her boss and her clients (yes, I paraphrased that from Wikipedia, but why rewrite what already works?).  

The character bio on USA's website states that Leo is “…unflappable, and, thanks to his vast and varied connections – and seeming ability to know what Kate needs before even she knows she needs it – invaluable.”  And they made my point – plain as day.  These assistants are invaluable to the shows!  Plus I like the added depth they give to the shows...the subplots and such.  Well, I hope that you'll agree with us that they're indispensable.  And if you have an assistant, please thank them, because you know you couldn't do it without them.


We also want to point out that although our poll was in no way scientific (since only 3 people voted), the Peach Gummies won with 66% of the votes.

Peace, Love, and Zappatos to you all.....

Sometimes I wanna feel new pretty....

Well well well here we are again. Another Time worthy tuesday and my how timeworth it has been! It began around 7 as I began studying for math. That wasn't fun until I received a text from the girls telling me they were on there way! But better yet when they arrived they arrived with chocolate cheesecake! If you didn't hear this past Sunday wwas National Chocolate Cheesecake Day. As we enjoyed are cheesecake in the kitchen we discussed our lives and read over the upcoming days. Tomorrow for example is National Peanut Cluster Day. So to all the folks who read our humble blog.. May you have an exceptionally dandy Peanut Cluster Day!
We watched another Fairly Legal tonight and enjoyed the thrilling drama the tv show provided us. Then we continued on to watch a few episodes of Reba! We munched on some Pineapple that my father so generously gave us!

Well my dedicated readers I shall be closing this blog for the evening. May you join us next week for another TOTALLY TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMME WORTHYY TUESDAY!

Oh, maybe he got run over by a car.... No sweetie he's just not that into you!

Although we were missing a member we did indeed meet for our weekly tradition.  After an episode of Fairly Legal (which we loved) we enjoyed Fired Up.  Also laughed at a commercial for the new show "Unpopable" which looked utterly ridiculous!  We are also quite in love with Paula Dean (that was of course said with a Southern Accent).  We'd just love to cook with her.  Since we have to "risk it to get the biscuit" we think we might take our road trip to Cape Horn thru Georgia just so we can cook with her.
