Daytime Television - THE LATEST
November 8, 2006
One of the great things about blogging is that I get to watch lots of embarrassing television and get away with it by saying it's part of the job. This helps when you are trying to explain to people why you have a season pass of Days of Our Lives on the Tivo in your bedroom (don't worry Tyra, I didn't forge about you!). I love Days and although we don't have anybody recapping it (if you want to recap Days or any other show, I hear we are having a contest), I recently received a press release that I had to share. Smokey Robinson will be playing an axe murderer and taking Dr. Marlena Evans hostage! OK, that may not quite be the whole story, but read the details after the jump.

Everybody Loves Heaton?
I was never a big fan of the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. It's not that I didn't enjoy Ray Ramano's comedy, and whenever I caught a repeat on the air, I usually had a good laugh. What I did notice was how huge of a bitch Patricia Heaton's character became on the show. Every sitcom about a suburban everyman has to have a nagging wife that bothers him about playing golf and looking at the 20 year-old waitress at the diner, but that doesn't mean she has a right to be a harping banshee. It may not have been Patricia Heaton's fault that her character turned out that way, but I blamed her anyway, and when the show came off the air, I was happy because Patricia Heaton would leave the air with it.
Living in California, I still have to deal with Patricia Heaton in those stupid Albertson's commercials, but The Hollywood Reporter recently announced that Particia Heaton might get her own talk show to go along with a comedy pilot she has waiting for next season. This is all coming on the heels of Will and Grace star Megan Mullaly announcing her own talk show that will launch this fall. I have no clue what I did to deserve this, but I guess it is better than Live with Ryan Cabrera and Constantine Maroulis.

Get the Bitch Or Die Trying?
If you are unfamiliar with the situation, Tyra and Naomi are not really the best of friends. In fact, Tyra says that dealing with Naomi Campbell is one of the reasons she has all but left that part of the world of modeling. When Tyra came on the scene, there was an unwritten rule that there can only be one black supermodel, and Naomi wouldn't let go. TVgasm has a similar unwritten rule, and as soon as we find that other half-black guy or girl, we aren't letting any more in. Anyway, Tyra is going to confront Naomi on the Tyra show today, Friday November 18th (check local listings). I meant to post this yesterday to give people some advance notice, but since TVgasm is so popular these days, I had a little trouble. Luckily for all of you who don't check TVgasm before you go to work, school, or day care, Oxygen replays the show several times, so make sure to set your Tivos or VCRs if you won't be able to catch it when it airs in your town.
Tyra's doing all of this because you girls hate on each other so much. She's been feuding for 14 years, but now it's all about sisterhood. And, really, aren't we all for sisterhood, especially when it doesn't involve traveling pants? That's what I thought.
UPDATE: Oh, it will be blogged. It BEGS to be blogged.
