Odds and Ends

Happy Tuesday to you all! Not a whole lot going on this week but I do have some small bits to share. Also, a couple of great friends and loyal readers had the excellent idea of opening entertainment reviews and recommendations up to anyone who cares to share so I have posted my email address on the right if there is something you would like to submit for the new R&R section. Many thanks to Bird and Sonya!!!

Vampire Diaries:
I have read a lot of mixed reviews on this show and the clips I've seen seem a bit hokey but none of that will stop me from checking it out for myself this fall. My favorite EW writer, Michael Ausiello is on the fall TV press tour and has some funny notes from the Vampire Diaries part of his day. You can read his notes here: http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/08/04/press-tour-diary-the-vampire-diaries/. See below for clips from the upcoming season airing on The CW:

Being Human = Watch Online!:
For those who have missed the first couple of episodes of Being Human or do not have BBC, you can get caught up before this weekend on YouTube. They have the first 2 episodes available in sections to watch for free. This 1st episode of this supernatural show was fun but the 2nd was phenomenal. Watch it here now:

Fall TV = Get Ready!:
The turning leaves and colder weather are just around the corner (booo!) but that means Fall TV is also getting closer (yay!). TV Guide has a great layout of all of the shows in prime time on the major networks so you can start making plans and revving up the Tivo. Thursdays are hopeless (again) for anyone with less than 2 DVRs but the rest of the week looks doable (for me anyways) with a great big HOORAY for the So You Think You Can Dance fall season.
