Upcoming New US Shows In The UK
TUNE OF THE DAY
I heard this on Letterman a few weeks back and it's been in my head ever since! This definetely prooves I have "eclectic taste", as this is nothing like anything else I like!
Back to school...
Right, my first few days in Sixth Form have actually been great! I'll be honest I was tad nervous going back (no idea why, but I always get like that 
), but it's so different to been in the lower school... in a good way! It's brilliant only having to go to the lessons you've chosen to do (no more chemistry 
) and of course getting free periods... sorry, I mean "study periods"... yes, studying... 
I've got all "foldered up" tonight so I've got sepereate folders for each subject... that's right: I'm gonna be that organised this year!
I know many other people are heading back to school / college around this time, if you're one of them, then how did your first day go?

"If I had to give up cheese or chocolate, I'd give up chocolate in a heartbeat"
(Amanda Peet)
Can I make a recommendation to all UK chocolate lovers? If you see this new cadbury's bar floating around...
... I highly recommend you jump on the chance to get one. (I'm referring to the "Apricot Crumble Crunch" one 
). I'm not usually the biggest fan of apricot (or indeed a nice crumble) so I was surprsied to find how delicious this bar really is! I'm eating it now in fact... mmmmmm...
TV.Com
I haven't got any TV.Com related news to report this time around, I've been fairly quiet submission wise lately... it's felt kind of nice!
I don't know if anyone went to the PB / GG chat last night, I don't watch either of them shows so I gave them both a miss. However, I did notice something about the embelm: is it more or are the staff not really trying any more? The embelm is just a copy of the image from the fall guide and it isn't even rounded or placed on a gradient, I hope future embelms don't get this treatment...

None of the new premires have applied to me yet, so TV land is still very dull, I've almost finished season 4 of The Office, the other night I managed to see the "Job Fair" episode, which was a truely cla$$ic Office outing! I really love that show so much, by far the best sitcom on TV!
I'm also playing catch up with season 3 of House, FiveUS is currently about 4 or 5 eps ahead of me so I'll be chomping through some more tonight. So far I don't feel this season has been as good as the previous ones, but it's still a great show!
I've currently got the season 2 finale of Kingdom on the DVR to check out. Kingdom really is true Sunday evening British TV at its best!
Guess the Person
Right, that cadbury's chocolate is calling me, so I need to round this blog up ASAP! So, what show is this person from?
Answers please!
Last blog's person was Kaley Cucuo, who can currently be seen in The Big Bang Theory (great show, by the way). Her past credits include 8 Simple Rules (another great show) and Charmed.
Well done to Keri, Daria, Mack, T_Brennan, Katherine, Dan and Kate! You can all help yourself to some celebration pie!
Later 'gators,
Tom. 
Just pure brilliance (make sure you listen to the whole lot

So, I'll admit that the wedding I attended on Saturday wasn't as bad I was anticipating. I arrived at the venue (it was at a hotel, no church wedding) and ended up looking awkward standing around outside for half an hour. Of course we all had to exchange social pleasentries!
Then, at about 1:00pm, we headed inside to where the ceremony was going to take place. Thankfully, there was no sign of their dog dressed up in a tux.
The actualy ceremony only lasted 15 minutes (that's right, that's quicker than the service at my local Burger King). After the ceremony, I endured another 2 hours of standing around (downing too many glasses of something that tasted suspiciously like paint thinner) while pictures were taken.
Finally, it was time for the food! And boy oh boy, did I go to town! Appetisers, starter, main course, desert, cake, coffee, chocolate mints! I think I came very close to breaking my "vomit free since 2003" saying! Because my family is all over the UK, it was a sort of mini reuinion which was nice, I was out of there by 6:30 then later on that night I popped in an SNL DVD ("The Best of 06/07 - freakin' hilarious!).
.................................
Well, my 11 weeks holiday officially end today 
Suppose I can't really grumble, I've had double that amount that most UKers get I'm partly looking forward to going back tomorrow ( 
) and half dreading it: I don't wanna go back to coursework!
.................................
I've managed to recently make it level 44, which brings with it another Seinfeld embelm: very nice! My aim was to be at level 40 by September, so I think I've made it! I'm now going to try to get to level 50 by the October half term.
I've also managed to gain a new person guide, I don't ususally submit to person guides, but for some reason I did the other day! I've managed to gain the guide for...
GEORGE LAZENBY
You'know, that guy that most people commonly refer to as "the tw*ty James Bond"!
Personally, I haven't really got any feelings towards him: he was neither brilliant, but he wasn't that bad as a 007 actor either. I think most people have got something against him because, a) he replaced Connery, b) he was only in one film, c) in his film James Bond got married!
My personal favourite 007 will always be Timothy Dalton.
What are your thoughts on this?
I've also managed to gain a handful of new TCs recently: one show guide and 2 person guides. So, many thanks to Dan for the TC for...
LEAD BALLOON
And, many thanks to Mack for the TC for...
AMANDA PEET
And thank to you to Mad, for the TC for...
ALEC BALDWIN
Right, that's enough bragging from me!

Of course, today is September 1st: which means the new season premires really are right upon us. In fact, I believe a few are starting this week. I've noticed many people are posting up "schedules" of their shows, so I thought I'd join the crowd.
This isn't a "schedule" as such, but more like a list of shows I'm interested in:
Sunday
The Simpsons: S19 brought some great episodes, and some bad episodes. I'm not expecting S20 to be any different, but I wouldn't be able to live if I didn't get my dose of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
King of the Hill: Like "The Simpsons", the show's had a lackluser few years, but it's still by far the bst show on FOX's Sunday block.
Family Guy: S6 was completely awful, I was very tempted to give up on the show near the end but I stuck with it. I'll check out this season later in the year (either over Christmas or next Summer) as I can easily live without it.
Monday
The Big Bang Theory: Last year's best new sitcom, which I'm really enjoying rewatching at the moment. As long as they don't get too caught up with relationship stuff, this season should be hopefully be great.
How I Met Your Mother: My guess is that this show is nearing the end of its reign, but it's still great!
Worst Week: I've heard good things about this new sitcom and I'm really looking forward to giving it a try!
Chuck: Best new overall show of last year and, from what I've heard, season 2 is going to be great.
Heroes: Need I say anymore?
Tuesday
House: While you lot are chomping away on new season 5, I'm watching season 3 on FiveUS: which is new to me, so it's all good!
Fringe: One of the season's most anticipated new shows.
Wednesday
Dirty Sexy Money: This show is my ultimate guily pleasure, but it can easily wait until a later date...
Gary Unmarried: Heard differing things about this show, but I'll still be giving it a go.
Bones: Haven't even finished S2 yet, so I won't be on S4 for a bit yet!
'Til Death: After the news that Eddie Kaye Thomas and Kat Foster have been fired, I don't know how long this show'll last. For this reason, I'll check out this season at a later date.
Thursday
Eleventh Hour: This looks like a great new drama, that will really appeal to me!
My Name Is Earl: We've been promised that in S4 Earl will "get back to his list", which is good enough for me!
The Office: Best sitcom currently on TV, simple as that.
SNL Thursday Night Live: Saturday Night Live... on a Thursday?!?! I love it already!
30 Rock: I'm surprised it's lasted so long, which is a great thing!
Friday
Numb3rs: Like "House", I'm still chomping my way through season 3!
Saturday
Saturday Night Live: Still freakin' hilarious despite what anyone says!
If I hear good things about some of the other new shows, I might start on some of them as well. Either way, that's it: feel free to use it pyschologically evaluate me as much as you want!
.................................
If you've made it all the way through this blog, then I have to say "well done" to you: I don't think I could have even read it all! Anyway, what show is this person from?
Last blog's person was Robert Powell, who could at one time be seen in the brilliant sitcom "The Detectives". I believe he now he's on Casualty or Holby City or something like that! Anyway, well done to Tish, Keri and Gavin! If I've missed you out, feel free to shout in the comments!
Right, that's it! Tom.
PS, Just noticed I haven't put in any HTML links to guides and profiles... ah, I can't be bothered: you'll have to do without!
