The nick@nite Executives Read this Blog

And obviously, they want to mess with my head.

Today, I decided to watch George Lopez after not watching it for a while. And I saw a commercial for Married… With Children. It’s going to be on nick@nite, starting some time in July. I think the 11th? I’m confused because nick@nite is targeting soccer moms who don’t want inappropriate programs, (Other than That 70’s Show, of course), yet they’re going to put one of America’s trashiest TV families (After the Conners, of course) on. Don’t get me wrong, Married… With Children is actually an OLD show, so they get points for that. And I’ve seen some episodes on TV Land and Antenna TV, and it’s a pretty good show. But I’m not sure if nick@nite can handle showing more than three shows. Everybody Hates Chris and My Wife and Kids fight for any slot before 10 PM, while George Lopez, The Nanny, and That ‘70s Show fight for every slot before dawn. How will another show affect things?

I hope this means there could be marathons of Married… With Children and The Nanny. I could see it now: The Big Hair Marathon!

So Tired

I haven’t been sleeping that well since DST. Aside from DST going against my already mixed up sleeping schedule, I’ve had lots of homework these past two weeks which has lead to tiredness and after school naps. The only times I’ve been able to sleep well is weekends.   –_- Oh well, spring break is coming.

I have lots of homework to do and some plans, so I have no idea why I’m still online.
And in other news, Gwen Stefani has donated $1 million for relief efforts in Japan. And the Sprouse Bros are starring in their first DCOM. That seems odd for Disney. Usually they recycle actors whenever they can. And Annelise Von Der Pol is going to guest star on Shake it Up! . And Fran Drescher will have a TV Land sitcom!

Is this Possible?

I know that I watch a lot of shows from the ‘90s, like The Nanny and Friends, and I’ve begun to watch Roseanne (and rewatch Boy Meets World) more, and I used to watch Full House, but I never thought I could watch too much from the nineties. Interestingly enough, I’m wrong, and there might just be a limit.

Today, All About Style made some new dresses.

However, the anonymous community wasn’t too crazy about it:

… Have I watched too much TV Land and nick@nite to not notice? I personally thought they were all nice. The first one might be a little 90s, but the others are alright.

And because I might as well become the Sim!Style network, I made a new tag for clothes comments. Feel free to contribute a better name

Homework- Done!

I finished my homework for the weekend. :D This includes busywork given to my class by my AP USH teacher, who decided to take charge of the class Monday. I still have to study for a quiz for that class, but I’ll do that later, so I could actually remember the stuff.

I could finally play The Sims 3 when it’s not past 11, which has become impossible thanks to school. I’ve been able to play The Sims 3 on weekends, but by the time I play, I get so tired I just turn it off and go to sleep. And this means I’ve been on the ninth generation for… a while. It doesn’t help that there are too many elders in the current eight slots, so the game has become boring.

And I watched The Fran Drescher Tawk Show. It was good, because she was endearing yet funny, and she still was herself. Plus, she actually has enough of a personality to own a talk show. Other talk show hosts rely on celebrities promoting their latest thing or dysfunctional people fighting with each other, but she didn’t solely rely on her guests. The episode was about nutrition/weight, and while she had Kirstie Alley on via Skype, it wasn’t like Kirstie was promoting a new book or anything. Plus, she had her adorable dog, Esther Drescher, on the show, and she parodied The View’s table discussions with a panel… of five year olds. There were two references to The Nanny- aunt Frieda’s actress came by, and Fran showed some wardrobe from the show and compared it to what she wears now.

Edit: I wanted to find a quote from an interview Fran had about her show, and she said this:

Fran Drescher: Yeah, I don't care about your movie, you're welcome to hock it, but you've got to have a point of view, you've got to be doing something for the greater good. But you know, the biggest stars actually do a lot for the greater good: George Clooney, Sting, Brad Pitt, Bono, Angelina [Jolie]. Angelina, myself, Brad Pitt, Bono, and George Clooney are the five most successful celebrity lobbyists in Washington D.C. and that's according to the Washingtonian. I was really impressed that I made their list [laughs].

Long Weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend to you! I hope you all have a good weekend.

I’m happy Jennifer Grey won DWTS, because now Bristol Palin’s irrelevant. They could all just stay on Sarah Palin’s Alaska and nobody will mind.

And the other day in my game, I noticed this (Censored because of spoilers in the legacy):

Babcock? Does that sound familiar?

To those of you lost on the reference, CC from The Nanny also had Babcock as a last name.

And Fran Drescher’s tawk show begins Friday. Luckily, I have no school, so I could watch it. I’m a bit worried the ratings will be lower because of Black Friday stuff, but whatever. And Charles Shaughnessy allegedly was filming with Fran for the tawk show! Maybe there’s a reunion coming up?

And Renee Taylor guest starred on Shake it Up! as a cranky senior citizen in a retirement center. Sadly, no references to The Nanny.

And in other news, I watched a somewhat famous episode of Roseanne the other night. It was the home ec field trip episode, which made me laugh a lot.

Nothing to Blog About

There hasn't been much to really blog about in the past week, which is why I haven't blogged about anything (obviously). I've had too much homework to blog about random stuff, too.

The only interesting thing that happened this week is probably just The View/Bill O'Rielly(sp?) spat. I'm not going to talk about it, though, because I don't really like debating politics on the Internet.

Fran Drescher is getting a talk show, called "The Fran Drescher Tawk Show" or something like that. It's going to start Black Friday, aka the day after Thanksgiving/ materialism at its worst. I'm kind of glad for her. Even if people find her voice annoying, she's a nice person. The talk show will be on for a three week trial run, so good luck to her. It'll be on Fox.

And Jarsie9's been banned from the forums! Looks like her "Bribe the mods" fund finally became empty.

Disney xD Fail

Last Sunday, I mentioned how The Nanny was being taken off nick@nite, but apparently, it’s still on. So um, I was wrong.

And on another note, Disney XD is making a sitcom called Pair of Kings which involves Mitchell Musso of Hannah Montana fame, and Doc Shaw, of The Suite Life on Deck fame. Or House of Payne fame. Anyway, they go from being normal fraternal twins living in Chicago into heirs to a throne in a foreign, make believe tropical island.

Yeah, how are they fraternal twins? I don’t mean to be offensive to biracial families or whatever, but it bothers me how Disney couldn’t find actors who are the same ethnicity to play twins. They don’t even look alike otherwise. Seriously, Disney? They could’ve just say they’re stepsiblings or cousins or something.

And why are they getting their own show? At 19, Mitchell is too old for Disney with Hannah Montana ending, and he’s not going to be taken seriously with a Disney xD sitcom. And at 18, Doc Shaw should be looking for other projects, too. Not to mention, Doc Shaw wasn’t exactly a good actor on The Suite Life on Deck, seeing as he just shouted all his lines, and complained about not being famous anymore.

This Friday, there’s going to be a sneak peek of this show on Disney Channel. Honestly, I’m kind of confused, because Disney xD’s a premium channel, so if a kid likes the preview on Disney Channel, are they just going to tell their parents to buy the package with Disney xD? Disney tends to do this a lot. They’ve had “Special Previews” of their other Disney xD shows, like Zeke and Luther and I’m in the Band. Other than the obvious reason (Money), why do they do this so much? Disney xD’s targeted toward boys, and Disney Channel is more for girls, so how do they expect these crossover things to work?

Oh, and that Chuck kid from iCarly’s also going to be on Pair of Kings, so yeah.

Closing Thoughts on The Nanny

The Nanny is ending its run on nick@nite this week, and it will be moving to TV Land. I remember watching it last year, and getting hooked in to the show. I liked most stuff about it. I’m able to watch the show with Fran’s voice. I’m able to watch it with all the celebrity  guests. I’m able to deal with the (slighty) cliche plots. I’m able to deal with the nineties-centric clothing. But there’s one thing I’m unable to deal with: The length of the series.

The show lasted six seasons, which is a lot for most shows, especially since lots of sitcoms can’t get picked up past the pilot or first twelve episodes. I think the series has too many things going on in the last two seasons, specifically (In white for spoilers):

• Fran and Maxwell get engaged and married within eight episodes.
• Yetta gets engaged to to Sammy, played by Ray Charles.
• Maggie thinks she’s pregnant.
• Fran thinks she’s pregnant, but it turns out she wasn’t.
• Fran really is pregnant a couple of episodes later. This time for real. :P And she’s having twins.
• Max is asked to move to California, to make one of his plays a sitcom.
• Niles proposes to C.C., she rejects him.
• Maggie gets married.
• Niles tries to propose again.
• Fran gives birth to twins.
• Niles and C.C. get married in Fran’s delivery room and C. C. is pregnant.
• The Sheffields move to California.

Yeah, all that happened in two seasons. I’m not sure if the show got cancelled, or if Fran Drescher wanted it to end, or what, but I’d like to see another season so all these events wouldn’t seem so shoehorned and stuff. Alternatively, the producers could’ve write Fran and Max’s romance into the series earlier, and stop with all the “Will they or won’t they?” moments earlier.

But um, farewell Fran and the rest. See you on TV Land.

A Little Magic would help!

For some reason, ABC Family is deciding to try another original sitcom.

What I want to know is, why?

To those of you unfamiliar with the channel, it’s a channel aimed at teens, mostly girls, which seems to produce tons of drama, and very little comedies.

Let me rephrase that: The channel produces tons of successful drama, and very little successful comedies.

The comedies are usually cancelled before their time(Ruby & the Rockits was cancelled after two months, Roommates got cancelled after a little over a month) or never even given a chance. So why is ABC Family trying to make another comedy? 

The plot is basically Melissa Joan Hart (As in, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch), is an aunt taking care of her nephew and niece, and she hires a male nanny, played by Joey Lawrence. It’s been compared to Who’s the Boss? and The Nanny. There’s a good chance Melissa and Joey are going to have relationship issues, and ABC Family’s not going to be too nice to it.

I’m hoping the show could get a second season. Melissa Joan Hart’s a mom, and she hasn’t really done anything famous since her Sabrina days, and maybe this could be her comeback.

And on a side note, yesterday was the anniversary of this blog, seeing as the first post was August 14, 2009.

What Other Way to Celebrate?

Last week, The Nanny made it on to TV Land. This month also marks Fran’s last month on nick@nite (Thanks, My Wife and Kids!). What better way to celebrate for the former than with…

…another Fran-eque hairstyle? 

Big in the back, red and white clothes, black hair, pale skin… is NewSea a fan of Fran?

Yeah, sure, it’s still not exactly the same, but still it has a creepy resemblance.

I kinda like it, but then again, I’m a fan of The Nanny, so yeah.

To: nick@nite Executives

Lately, Sims 3 has been crashing on me, so I haven’t been able to play (And it takes a long time to load- 40 something minutes to an hour!) a lot. However, I’ve been watching plenty of TV shows, most of them on Nickelodeon or Disney. And guess what realizations I came up with?

1) Nickelodeon does a poor job at ‘blending’ Nickelodeon to nick@nite: This is their schedule. They have Family Matters at 8:00. That’s good, right? Well, they continue it with Everybody Hates Chris at 9:00. Then, they have… George Lopez at 10:00. Yeah, sure, I know 10:00 is when they should be having less kid-friendly stuff, but at 11:00, they have Malcolm in the Middle. You’d think they’d switch that order around.

2) nick@nite: is obsessed with George Lopez: Yeah, while there’s more of The Nanny on nick@nite according to that schedule, there’s been tons of George Lopez marathons: Luck O’ the Lopez, Labor de Lopez, “Lopez-olutions”, Thanks, Lopez, Whole Lotta Lopez, La Vida de Lopez, Lopezadrine, George Lopez is Seeing Stars… and those are just some of them.  And did I mention it’s just been on since Fall 2007?  At least 8 marathons and it hasn’t even been 3 years yet!

3) nick@nite will always have haters: Other than the obvious “There will always be haters” message, nick@nite used to show old shows from the sixties in the eighties. Lately, though, they’ve been showing more and more new shows (As in, shows from 2009), so their first demographic is left out. And not to mention, there’s more than five decades to choose reruns from, and plenty of networks. There will always be people who aren’t fans of the lineup. I mean, if you didn’t like it the first time, why would you watch it now?

And for the Jersey Shore’s second season… it had a boring premiere.

The Flashy Hair from NewSea, the Hair Named Nene!

Okay, three posts in a row about NewSea’s hair. It’s too big to ignore, though!

And there’s a back!

Someone even said:

What are they talking about? The “BIG WALL’O’HAIR” is referring to the Bouffant Hairstyle, which is hair that’s “piled high on the head and hanging down on the sides”. And the Bouffant hairstyle is a version of big hair. And the ‘Nene’ hairstyle looks like a straighter, longer version of these hairstyles, all from ‘90’s sitcoms:

And if you add bangs to the Sims’ hair, then you’ll get this:

Hey NewSea, if you’re taking 90’s hairstyle requests, you should do the Rachel next!

Life after The Nanny

On a recent episode of Victorious I was watching, Renee Taylor, Sylvia from The Nanny was on. And she even had a husband named Morty, her husband’s name on The Nanny. I found it interesting. Charles Shaughnessy from The Nanny’s on Suite Life on Deck a lot, and I think Rachel Chagall (Val) was on What I like About You once? Now all we need is Fran Drescher on iCarly, and I’m set.

And Raven’s starring on Sonny with a Chance apparently?

EDIT: Wiki agrees with me.
