Hi there fellow peeps. I started a new thread, as you can see, for the following reason:
There are sooooooo many threads on this blog created by our dear Harlem that one never knows where to go to visit and just stay in touch. It is time consuming to check each and every one to see if someone has popped in to say hello, and surely as busy as most of you are with work, school and life, I thought we could use this thread for that purpose and that purpose only. There are many other threads started by all of us where we can post and/or share pictures, sightings of LW cast members, TLW news, etc. Of course this is a new year and all of us will be celebrating another birthday, so anyone wishing to start a new blog for those birthday wishes would be an exception. So I hope to see you all here, HIPS, HARLEM, LOST, GIA, DALI & FATTY soon and often.

Hey there, Gofigor! I agree. Since I started this blog, many threads have grown from the original. It is difficult to visit to just say hello. No matter what, I continue to review all of the threads and respond. I hope you and all of our peeps are doing well. It's a brand new year and I hope it will be a great one, for all.
ReplyDeleteShameless plug: One more week for The Chicago Code!!! I'm on pins and needles!!!
LOL
TTFN
HARLEM...I too am counting down the days. I have renewed my heart medicine (hahaha) and have advised everyone who has my phone number that I will be DEAD on Mondays between 9 and 10. I just wish they had picked another day as Lie to Me is on at the same time. You may recall she (JB) playes the ex-wife of Tim Roth's character who made a guest appearance from time to time. Wonder how they will handle that since they have a young daughter in that show. Anyway, I miss JB. She has left the lake and her house but the good thing is that she asked me to keep an eye on it for her (we're tight you know), so I have been over there sniffing her chair, the bed sheets, her clothes (wink-hahaha, I am so pitiful).
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, here is hoping the show is a hit. I will be thinking of you next Monday.
Stay good my friend.
Been looking and hoping to see our peeps visiting, but alas, nothing. HIPS, I know you are busy with school, students, church, etc. but pop in and say hello.
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteYou lucky lady!!! Oh, you must send me some samples. I must enhale the elixir that is JB. LOL!!!
I wonder how they are going to pull off the Lie to Me / Chicago Code tie in. JB is an ADA in Lie to Me but a Chief of Police in The Chicago Code. And, in a previous episode of Lie to Me, there was a referece about Zoe's daughter Emily visiting her mom in Chicago. Hm!!! This must be one of those dangling plots!!!
Fox will have to explain this one since Chicago is taking the place of Lie. More to come, I would have to say.
One of my friends suggested that I set up bubbly and candlelight for the premier of Chicago just for JB. That's an idea. I'll keep you posted. Be safe. The weather is a nightmare!!!
HARLEM....surely don't want to question or correct you since you know ALL THINGS JB, but here was my recollection of Zoe on Lie to Me. She was planning to take the job in Chicago but Cal was not happy that she would be taking their daughter with her and he would not see her as often so he took money from his company or took out a loan on his company to give to Zoe to enable her to open up her own firm (which was a dream of hers) so she would not leave the state. Cal's partner was not at all happy as he never consulted her about his decision. But since then I have not seen Zoe on the show. We know that his daughter is in many episodes so it is clear she did not move. Do you recall this?
ReplyDelete3 days and counting....:-)))) Oh be still my heart!!!
PS JB's Bed pillow on the way to ya my friend. Sniff away!!!!!!!!!!
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteI think all that you mentioned happened in the first season. Towards the end of this season, Cal made a reference to Emily visisting her mom in Chicago. But, in Lie to Me, Zoe is an ADA, right? How did she go from being an ADA to a police officer who rises through the ranks to become a "Superintendant" of Police"? (I stand corrected. Teresa Colvin is not the Chief of Police. She is a Superintendant of Police. JB corrected an interviewer in a recent interview who also described her character as a Chief of Police. JB says in Chicago, they are called Superintendant.) I should be horse-whipped for that faux-paux.
What do think, mon ami? Maybe I missed something.
Emily is still at home with Cal as he is going through the drama of his daughter starting to date (Castle is going through the same storyline!!!) Cal still makes light references to Zoe. Now that the series has ended, I guess we have to see where it is heading. Maybe JB can do double duty on both shows. LOL!!! That's alright with me. The more JB the better.
BTW, JB was supposed to be on Chelsey Lately last night. For whatever reason, she was not on the show. I watched both showings thinking I missed her when I did not see her. (Natch!!!) Thank God she was not there. I don't think JB would have liked it much. It reminded me of her appearance on The View with Cybill Shepard. You could see the exasperation on her face when she was asked idiotic questions about The L Word by Sherri Shepard. I feel her pain. Ugh!!!
Anyway, thanks for sending JB's bed pillow. I can't wait to sniff it. To bask in the fragrance that is JB!!! Truly magnificent!!! ROFLMAO
Have a great weekend. Counting down those days with you.
And to all our peeps: Candlelight and champagne is waiting for JB for Monday. Let's light the candle at the same time!!!
Peace.
HARLEM...she missed Chelsea Lately and The Talk due to bad weather. Snow storms blanketed many states including mine where we got 12 inches on Wed and she could not fly out. I agree that The View did the show a disservice and Cybil Sheppard did not help. I have given up on The View, they are very biased on the folks they interview. JB salvaged what she could with them. She is a class act always. As for Castle, first episode was awesome. Love that show, think Beckett is hot and so is Castle. Hope they connect this season.
ReplyDeleteAs for connecting her role in Lie to Me and Chicago Code I am not sure there is any connection. She made such rare appearances on Lie to Me that it is doubtful anyone (other than her fan base) even noticed her. It will be interesting to see where she 'started' to get where she is now in charge of the entire dept. If you turn out to be right, that she made the transition from ADA to top cop, I will send you her other pillow! hahahaha
Make sure that, along with the candles and champagne, you find your bib and have it handy so that you don't drool all over your furniture.
Won't be long now. ENJOY!
Peace.
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteI figured that was the case that JB did not make it to the two shows. We have mounds and mounds of snow here, too. Travelling is a nightmare.
One day and counting. Have you noticed that the premise of the show has changed a little bit? The focus seems to be on the corrupt alderman and her plan to not only clean up the city and police department, but to bring down this corrupt alderman. It's all good. Just happy to see our girl on TV again.
If everything pans out with the Lie to Me - Chicago Code connection, you must sent the other pillow!!! I can sniff them while watching the show, drinking champagne, cheese and crackers by candlelight!!! LOL
Who's your team for the Superbowl? I don't have a favorite since my home team is out. I'll be rooting for the underdog. I can't watch anyway. I will be working. Enjoy, if you are a fan.
Peace.
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteHow's your heart holding up? Mine is doing flip flops, I'm so in love with JB!!!
JB was smokin' hot on The Chicago Code, wasn't she? Just as I suspected she would be. You know I am going to stay tuned to see how the show progressess. I think it is fair to say that the show was watched by a great many fans.
Champagne toasts to our girl!!!
Hoo-rah!!!
BTW, where are all of our peeps? It seems like it is just you and me.
Come on, peeps. Come out, come out wherever you are!!! LOL
Peace
HARLEM...absolutely agree she was "smokin' hot". She is just so beautiful. Found the show very busy and they talked quite fast. Not sure about the concept of the entire show is trying to prove the Alderman crooked. I cannot imagine it will take an entire series for this and what happens next season? I am surely staying tuned in every Monday as well to get my JB fix.
ReplyDeleteDid you catch CASTLE. Laughed my butt off when they walked into the bar and CASTLE was drooling at Beckett. I wish they would hook up those two. Hormones are raging between the two every episode.
BTW, did you notice Lie to Me was not on tonight? Maybe they will move the time slot so we don't miss the show.
More snow this morning and it is snowing as I write this. It is getting to be a real challenge.
I don't know where our peeps are, this is turning out to be the HARLEM/GOFIGOR blog. No one is THAT busy. Maybe there will be some activity now that JB is back on TV.
BTW, did I win? No connection to the ADA post that I could see, but, I might sent you her other pillow anyway! :-)))))
Stay good my friend.
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning, when The Chicago Code was being pushed, I got the impression that the show was mostly about Teresa Colvin and her methods of cleaning up Chicago, from dealing with the crime on the streets to dealing with the corruption within the police department to re-thinking of the male ego into getting the department to following the leadership of a woman. Then they bought in the storyline of the crooked alderman as a subplot of the story. From its inception, the plot has changed - it's not just ride alongs but full interaction with the men and women who fight crime and the criminals that do the crimes. I see that the focus in not entirely on Teresa but on Wysocki as he helps Teresa fulfill her agenda. Though the storyline has changed, I will still watch to see how the show develops. It's supposed to get really good (according to JB).
I did see that epi of Castle. Castle has such a crush on Beckett. It's so obvious that it's cute. LOL! I like this show, too. Beckett is no nonsense and she takes charge. My kind of woman.
I understand that Lie to Me is supposed to come back. It will be interesting to see what time slot the network will place it. Do you think JB can do both shows? I can see it happening: conference calls with Cal. I can see that.
No snow here. It is finally melting with this warm spell we are having. Most of it is gone but I suspect that the remaining snow will completely disappear in April; the cold is coming back.
I think you did win. I did not see any connection between Zoe and Teresa other than the fact that both are working in Chicago so you get to keep one of JB's pillows. LOL!
As for the rest of our peeps, it is possible that they are very busy. As you can see, it's been a while since I posted. School and work is really cramping my style. I only have the weekends to browse the Internet (I had to take the day off today to study. And, I am really studying, as you can see. LOL!!!)I guess it's just me and you, for now!!!
Anyhoo, have a great weekend. The snow will pass and it will soon be Spring!!! (Thank God!!!) Keep a hold of that pillow!!!
Peace
HARLEM...you obviously saw that post from the mean spirited one (who uses a number of aliases) on my thread JB/Chicago Code. I told HIPS you would go beserk when you read it. It pissed me off but HIPS advised me that is this person's intention so I did not comment and I see you rose about it too.
ReplyDeleteCASTLE was an unbelievable show Monday night. That damn guy needs to speak up and tell her how he feels. She gave him the opening and the tension and heat between them I can feel myself. I suppose it makes for a better show as you are always hoping to see them finally connect. Usually I don't watch any shows that are two Part series or more but love this show and cannot wait until Monday night. I think Chicago Code is getting stronger and JB is falling into her character nicely. She seems much skinnier to me, did you think so too?
Well weatherwise I saw the ground for the first time last week, had a big meltdown and all 2 1/2 feet of snow was just about gone and then BOOM.....more freaking snow. I am ready for SPRING....where the hell is it????
Glad you took a break from school and work to pop in. Wish the others would do so too just to know they are okay.
In the meanwhile, as you say, it is just you and me.
I am sniffing the pillow and it is smelling sooooooo JB......Hot, Hot, Hot.
Keep New Zealand in your prayers.
Peace Out!
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteI almost responded to you know who then remembered who the poster was. She is looking to incite infantile bantering. Not falling for it so I ignored the comment. I don't have patience for knuckleheads. No matter what she/he posts about JB, I know JB is the goddess among us humans and no one, absolutely no one can outshine her. (But of course, I am partial to JB, through and through!!!)
I agree, JB does look thinner. Not that she was ever heavy!!! She looked spectacular even when she was pregnant with her daughter!!! She just had that wonderful, full look to her. She obviously knows how to keep herself looking smoking hot. I need the phone number(s) of the people who help her to stay smoking hot!!!
LOL
JB is aging quite gracefully. She's got great genes!!! God has truly blessed her!!!
Each week, The Chicago Code gets better and better. I will be tuned in forever. The ultimate cliffhanger will be: When Teresa finally snares Alderman Gibbons, where does she go from there? Don't think about it - it's too far in the future. I'll just worry about the present so that I can continue to marvel at JB. LOL
Glad to be here. Sniffing the pillows and praying for NZ, Egypt and all the places facing stress and strife.
Keeping the peace!
;-)
HARLEM..."partial to JB"...geez I hadn't noticed :-)
ReplyDeleteI noted your post on the MB. Your analysis of The Chicago Code is thought provoking. I too had noticed JB was not listed first in the opening credits (but by her own admission she likes to take the back seat on many projects)but Lauria, the cowboy cop isn't the first name you see either. You are truly more devoted to JB than I since I am already a bit discouraged by the lack of 'action' in her role but I will tune in Monday's for a little while longer as you suggested and hope you are right about the progression of the show.
As for CASTLE, I pray you saw it Monday. OMG! My heart cannot take this any more, so close so many times in that episode and then that damn Josh shows up at the end. The writers are driving me nuts. But then I thought, once they hook up, and I am certain they will, the anticipation is gone. Great show, great writing, great actors. LOVE IT!
Ghadafi is insane....he and Charlie Sheen should hook up...both are delusional and living in another world.
Praying that all this unrest ends soon.
Peace and Love!
First to all the posters who may 'eventually' show up here...My apologies. This thread was intended for short notes from all of you regarding your health and well being only but as it turns out, I guess we are all going to post where it is most convenient and at the moment that seems to be the first thread that appears at sign in.
ReplyDeleteWith that said:
HARLEM....I was panting, were you panting? The familiar tears, the gut wrenching emotion between her and her sister, she was AMAZING, but I never doubted for one minute that she would not do what she threatened to do if that low life brother-in-law had not taken her advice. Definitely alpha Bette and I am loving it. She is just a rare beauty. The Alderman continues to fool me, I like him, I hate him. Great writing for me, though you were a cheerleader from the start. I want to know the back story between Colvin and Wysocki. What do you know, if anything? Past relationship or another Castle drama where there is chemistry but no action? I read something on AOL today (3-8) that was troubling. so take a look at the MB Chicago Code thread AND start praying like you never prayed before.
HIPS....GIA......FATTY.....DALICET.....LOST.....are you guys every going to make an appearance here????????
Sun is shining, still very cold, still looking at nothing but snow. Where the hell is Spring????
Peace and love to all.
hey girl,
ReplyDeleteBeen a little busy lately. School is killing me again. LOL!!!
I am well and the weather is getting better in my neck of the woods. Can't wait for Spring to arrive. Thank the Lord!!!
Getting ready to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. Haven't made any specific plans but will think of something.
Look for me on the MB to discuss all things JB/Teresa and Beckett/Castle.
Other than that, all is well. Looking for you and all our peeps on the MB.
Take care!
Peace
;-)
OMG!!! Will it ever end? Last week I was out picking up sticks, branches, etc off the lawn since all the snow finally melted and this morning I wake to a snow storm. Snowblowed early with 6 inches on the ground and now have to go back out as another 5 inches has fallen. What the hell happened to Spring? What did I do to Mother Nature to deserve a second winter?
ReplyDeleteHARLEM...won't spill the beans until I see that you have watched Monday's (21st) episode but curious to know what you thought of the flirty scene. Did you catch her on Rachel Ray. If you thought her visit on GMA was brief, the 7 minutes with RR was even shorter. I am having trouble believeing she does not cook. This woman can walk on water in my mind.:-)
HIPS....where the heck are you girl? You can't find 5 minutes to pop in and update us on what is hapening in your world?
OK, that's all I got. Going to bundle up like an eskimo and head out. UGH!!!!
HARLEM...I am guessing you missed this interview, she is stunning, so sharing it with you. DROOL BIB REQUIRED!!!! :-))) Monday was a repeat, not sure why we are already doing this, but I was out of town so happy I did not miss it.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/associatedpress#p/u/1/aPhh9dNyMV8
HARLEM...thankfully a new show this past Monday and it was great. Thanks for encouraging me to stick around as I am really liking it now. As for CASTLE, great episode this past Monday as well and it seems that the chemistry is stronger than ever between Castle and Beckett. I think each one is waiting for the other to make the BIG move. Wonder if you noticed that Alex, the rookie writer that caused such jealousy with Castle, is from Lie To Me. Still wondering what has become of that show.
ReplyDeleteWeather breaking finally and starting to see the ice melt in the lake. Chomping at the bit to get outdoors so hopefully in the next couple weeks warmer weather will be upon us.
Hi to everyone. Still looking for the rest of our peeps. FATTY you were going to pay a visit, whassup?
HIPS, love of my life, whereforart thou?????
PEACE and Happiness to all!!!
Well I see EVEREYONE is MIA from our blog. Where the hell is everyone? HIPS, HARLEM my two constants?
ReplyDeleteWell I am taking a minute to stop by to say IS THIS EVER GOING TO END?????? Weather warmed up enough to get out and start cleaning up yard, lake finally totally free if ice, ducks and geese are back and what did I wake to this morning?????? SNOW on the ground and I am looking out my window at a snowstorm!!!!!! Are you kidding me? It is April 17th. Easter is next Sunday. This is SPRING for crying out loud.
WTF(rog)???? Never was the saying in Michigan more true than today......if you don't like the weather, stick around a minute.
AMEN!!!!
OK, my venting is done. Hope all is good with my brainy students (HIPS and HARLEM). I know you guys are either on Spring break or Easter break so hope to see at least a blip from one or both of you.
Stay good!
hey gofigor,
ReplyDeleteI'm still here. Yes, I am on Spring break, thank God!!! School and work has really been keeping me off the blog and the MB. I finally have some time to post today to give you a shout-out. LOL
You've got to be kidding me with the snow that you're still getting!!! WTF, indeed!!! I would be tired of looking at snow, too, at this late stage of spring. The weather has been a disaster here and abroad. Hang in there. Spring is on its way (hopefully before summer starts. Maybe you'll head right into summer!!! That would be a hoot!!! LOL)
I did see JB's interview on RR. I also saw her interview on Good Day, New York (via Internet), Craig Ferguson, Tavis Smiley, Access Live, Chelsea Handler and all of the videos posted on the Jennifer Beals website. (You know I had to watch!!!) JB is just stunning!!! And, I have learned that JB is really, really smart. (On GDNY, JB said that her mom said to stress her educational accomplishments). To learn that she graduated from Yale with a BA degree in American Literature with Honors just floored me. One would have to be a smart cookie to accomplish this feat especially at an Ivy League college. One has to read a lot as a Lit major which is very daunting, to say the least. I'm majoring in English literature and it involves a lot of reading. Sometimes, I feel like my head is going to explode with all the reading.
I'm in awe of JB and she is my inspiration (along with my English professor, from my first semester after returning to school in 2009) not to give up even though my classes are kicking me in the butt.
Despite school, I have been keeping up with The Chicago Code. The world could be coming to an end and I won't give up the show. I am really liking the way that JB's character is progressing. She can be tough and soft, concerned and thoughtful, hesitant and decisive, witty and smart all at the same time. I love the way she outsmarts those who are trying to get her goat, even her ex-partner. Wysocki is a wham, bam kind of guy who thinks that overpowering his foes will bring results. Teresa, on the other hand, knows that she must use diplomacy and smarts to get what she needs to get things done. She gives Wysocki some free reign when she is gunning (excuse the pun!!!)for someone but she always lets him know that SHE is in charge and she reigns him in when she sees that he is getting a little full of himself. I love that. What an example to follow.
So far, the only thing I don't like is the new guy who became her driver. He does not have the charisma of her other driver. He will take some getting used to.
The last two episodes were awesome. We got to see more of Teresa tangling with the big boys and working on the streets. Can't wait for this show to come on DVD. You know it will be in my collection.
I read that Lie to Me will be coming back. Where will FOX place it will be the dilemma. I hope the show is put on FX, FOX' sister network. Then they could put it on in an earlier time slot. Might have to DVR it to watch, though.
Lastly and very least, Castle: the chemistry is hot, hot, hot!!! I hope they don't hook up, though. I think that that would kill the chemistry between them. We have seen in countless TV series when the main characters hook up after the start of the show the show then petered out. Remember Remington Steele, The X-Files, Moonlighting, Spenser for Hire, etc? Can'[t go down that road if we want Castle to stay on the air. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Whew, that was a lot of commentary, don't you think? After this week, I'll be going back to my cubbyhole. Studies waits for no one.
And to all my other peeps, hope everyone is doing well. Keep the faith!!! LOL
Peace
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteOooohhh, the kiss!!! You not only see the tension but you can feel the tension. OMG!!! Monday's episode was a good one. Beckett and Castle finally kiss, even if it was to catch a bad guy while operating undercover. But, was the kiss really really under the guise of being undercover that Castle planted that passionate kiss on Beckett? I think it was more than that.I think the attraction between the two came to this point and the writer's had to cross that line. Now we know, at least, how Castle really feels about Beckett.
Great epi. Waiting for the follow-up. Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel!!! ;-)
Peace
OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! I missed it????
ReplyDeleteHARLEM, I checked and saw that CASTLE was a repeat so I didn't watch it. Are you freaking kidding me? Damn it. I am going to go shoot myself. I can only hope it is ON DEMAND or will be shown again.
I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this and I MISSED IT????
I am going to try and track it down. If not, you are going to have to give me the blow my blow account, the lead up, the kiss, and the aftermath reaction from both Beckett and Castle.
I am going to go now and look for my shotgun!!!!
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteThat was a repeat show? I don't remember seeing the trailer for that episode in the past. Oooohhh, girl. Beckett and Castle were working undercover in a stakeout from their car to catch a killer when the lookout person that was on the lookout spotted Beckett and Castle in their car. The lookout starts to walk over to the car. Beckett and Castle get out of the car, start walking down the street, pretending to be lovers. To make the action look real, Castle looks at Beckett giving her a cue that they have to make it look real and he plants a passionate kiss on Beckett. (You can sense that Castle put his heart into that kiss!!!). Both appeared to be surprised by the passion of the kiss and Beckett seemed to finally realize how Castle feels about her. They do the police thing and when they get back to the stationhouse you can sense again that both realize how they feel about one another.
I may have to watch the ending again. I thought Beckett's boyfriend came to the stationhouse; I may have another episode tied in with this episode. But, that was story. I hope you find the episode online. ABC's website has not posted the episode yet. You may have to got to www.hulu.com or another site that posts TV episodes. Good hunting and put away that shotgun. Can't let my partner leave JB and I alone.
Peace
Hey my friend, just reporting in after doing some investigating. You apparently have missed an episode or two Harlem. Last Monday (4/25) WAS a repeat and I recall that show now and the kiss. If you saw last week's show, it was about a champion swimmer who was killed. That was episode 21. This Monday, 5/2 is a new show episode 22. So you see, it was a repeat. So I have cleaned my shotgun and put it away for the time being (hahaha). Not to worry, there is no way I am leaving you ALONE with JB!!!
ReplyDeleteHey fill me in on your plans once you get your degree. I know you have a job so is this to advance your position, look for a new job or just for your own benefit and satisfaction?
OK I'm off. See ya on the couch Monday. I want just a squirt of butter on my popcorn!
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteNo wonder I could not find that episode online. I did watch last week's episode. I watch Castle after The Chicago Code religiously. These two shows are the only entertainment shows that keeps me from doing my homework. LOL
The Royal Wedding also kept me glued to the television all day so I did not get much homework done yesterday. It was such a beautiful ceremony and it touched me so deeply that I could not pull myself away from the telelvision. I thought of Princess Diana, as I'm sure, from looking at his face, Prince William was thinking of his mother, too. I'm sure that she has blessed her son and his wife so that they may have the most wonderful life together. I pray for love and longevity for them, too!!! And, of course, I wondered if JB watched the ceremony because she is such a spiritual person. I could almost sense what she would have been experiencing if she had been watching. I seem to be getting spiritual, these days having returned to church recently. I guess religion does open your spiritual being. ;-)
So, I'm getting back into the swing of class. I only have five more weeks before the semester is over.
Right now, I'm completing my degree for personal satisfaction. A lot of people ask if I'm going to teach.
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteI did not finish my last post.
I don't know if I want to teach but you never know. I've had two careers already. I was looking forward to retiring sixty-five but that might not happen based on the current economy. Today's retirees are having a hard time so you can imagine what it would be like for the baby boomer crew. I have to wait and see what's in the future for me.
Well, gonna go do some homework before heading out to class. Have a great weekend and make sure that your shotgun is nowhere close to you. I'll be with you Monday, on the couch with JB!!! LOL
Peace
HARLEM...I am on the fringe of the baby boomer era. I retired at 64 (almost 2 years ago). The key is to have no debt when you retire. It has been an adjustment for me not having a weekly paycheck but I have made some adjustments and managing just fine. I have found my needs are few and simple now and of course the big benefit that outweighs the smaller income is NO STRESS!
ReplyDeleteJB was great in Monday's episode. She is a smart cookie and plays the game well with the Alderman. I cannot take my eyes off of her, I love that strut she has and no one looks better in a power suit, NO ONE!
As for Castle, what the heck is wrong with him? So close, oh so close. What the hell is he waiting for? I was riveted for the whole hour. What a great episode. She too is a beautiful woman with an awesome body.
I HATE THEM ALL......hahahahahaha.
I mentioned on the board that Chicago Code is in the bubble as far as being renewed. No decision has been made. We need to start praying. We lost JB once, I cannot bear to lose her again.
I have also been watching Body of Proof. If you have not yet seen it, try to catch it. It is another great show, great writing and Dana Delaney (remember her as the Senator that put the move on Bette in TLW?) is superb in her role as a forensic patholgist.
BTW, I have cleaned my shotgun and put it away (for now).
There are only a couple more episodes remaining of The Chicago Code and then I suspect JB will be returning home here for the summer. I guess I am going to have to go and buy some new pillows before she notices them missing :>)
FINALLY......GOD BLESS OUR AMAZING MILITARY AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Peace
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteI had hoped to retire at sixty-five but I don't think it is going to happen. I want to be comfortable when I retire, if and when that happens.
About JB: I have always loved her walk/strut. During Flashdance it was a walk. It became a strut during TLW. It just makes me swoon!!! And yes, no one can wear a power suit like JB!!! OMG ;-)
On a sad note: I did read that The Chicago Code is being cancelled, as well as Lie to Me. We are going to lose "our girl" in a double shot. How can FOX do this to us? I tweeted my displeasure. WTF!!! I can not bear to lose her again, either!!! :-(
I do watch Body of Proof knowing that DD was playing the role of the Senator who was chasing after Bette. She's kind of hot, too. I like the way she portrays her character, Megan Hunt. Tough lady. I also loved DD in China Beach. She was a cutie but not a cutie-pie like JB. JB's the only cutie-pie!!! LOL
So, make sure that you lock up that shotgun. No violence. JB would not like that.
We have to petition FOX to reinstate TCC and/or L2M. Contact the gang.
Until next Monday: Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel.
Peace
PS: Obama is the man!!!
HARLEM my friend, sad day and some sad news to report. In case you have not yet heard, LIE TO ME and CHICAGO CODE have both been cancelled (and a few other FOX shows). I don't think they gave CC a chance to catch on and I am praying there are enuf LWord fans that will raise a stink, but doubtful the network will reconsider. At least she is more out there now and hopefully they will find a vehicle for her that will be more successful. OR IC can get off her butt and get that movie written she has been talking abaout for years!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe good news is that they will air the final two episodes rather than cancel it now.
So we should probably get together to drown our sorrows. Chicago sounds like a good place to do that. I'll meet you at the Navy Pier on Lake Shore Drive. You bring the glasses I'll bring the booze!!!!
Now if you will excuse me, I am going to get that gun out AGAIN!
Peace Out!
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteI'm commiserating with you. I hope JB is able to find another vehicle with which to display her talents. I know she must be saddened to lose both shows. I have faith that she will find another great project. She is just too good an actress to fall through the cracks. If I can prevent it, I would do everything in my power to keep her from falling through any cracks!!!
Pertaining to IC: It will be a miracle if TLW movie comes to fruition. Two years have passed. Will the cast be able to pick up where they left off? It remains to be seen. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the possibility. Keep the faith. I have confidence in all of JB's fans.
Peace
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteMy response to your post got dumped!!! :-(
I loved last Monday's episode of The Chicago Code. JB was getting more air time but unfortunately, it was not enough. I read that the show is being cancelled along with Lie to Me and others. Geez, Louise!!! If the writers of TCC had left it with the premise it started with, it probably would have gotten better. We, JB's fans, wanted the show to be mainly about Teresa not Jared or Alderman Gibbons, or the many other characters. I think that was one of the the mistakes made in the show. If JB's character was the focus, I think the show would have survived because she brings so much power to her roles that you want to see what happens next or watch her triumph over adversity. The second mistake was killing off her driver. You don't kill off a significant character in the first episode!!! The two of them had great chemistry. You could tell that he would have died for her to keep her out of harm's way. That was significant!!!
It is also possible that mainstream America is still not ready to see a woman being in charge. Teresa is depicted as a very strong, intelligent person outwitting and outsmarting those very arrogant men who think that women don't have the capacity to take on a job such as that of a superintendent of police. (Would we rather be like Alderman Gibbons' assistant???!!! Not!!! What was her major malfunction?! We won't speak about the negative portrayal of a women based on that character!!! Won't be the first and certainly not the last!!!)
I am saddened to see both TCC and L2M cancelled. We lose our girl twice. I hope JB has another project in the works. I don't want her fade into the sunset.
As for Body of Proof, I do watch that show. I remember Dana Delany's character chasing after Bette in TLW. I was happy that Bette did not venture down that road. I wanted things to smooth out between her and Tina and, thank God, it did.
;-)
DD is a cutie, too but not a cutie-pie like JB. JB's the one and only cutie-pie!!! ;-). I loved DD when she played McMurphy in China Beach. That was a great show. In this show, she is no-nonsense and I love that.
I'll end my rant here. Hopefully, fans of TCC/L2M screamed enough to get the show back on the air. We'll see.
In the mean time, get those pillows back, fast!!! She's a-comin' and she is probably in police mode. LOL!!!
Have a great weekend.
Peace
PS: Obama is the man!!!
Harlem, just popped in for a minute. Do not despair, I caught your previous post before it strangely disappeared. Visions of the MB monitor are lurking in the shadows. Pillows are on the bed, house is clean and the welcome mat is out. Kidding aside, sad that she will probably be leaving Chicago now that the show is cancelled as I know how much she loved being back and able to see her mom on a regular basis. But you go where the job is and I am hopeful it won't be long before we see her again. Love to see her do a movie, but not dark like The Book of Eli but something light and comedic.
ReplyDeleteAs for China Beach, never saw it but do recall Delaney a part of the show.
I understand the Real L Word will start its second season June 5th. Not interested but will peak in just to see who has returned.
I suspect you are counting down the weeks until school is out. Hopefully it will be a decent summer and you can get out and enjoy some freedom away from the books for a while.
It's all good my friend. See ya on the couch Monday!
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteYep, school's done. It was a heavy session. Hopefuly, I'll have some down time but I am planning to continue reading throughout the summer so the I'll ahead of the game in the fall. Now I just have to review my research paper. Then I am done.
My thought now that TCC is cancelled is that JB would be going back to Canada. She can now spend more quality time with her family. Then again, maybe she'll spend some alone time with her mom while she is still in Chicago. I would guess it's going to be hard for her mom to see her leave. I know I'm having separation anxiety already!!! :-(
I did not like TRLW. The only couple I kind of liked was the girl who started a relationshp with the woman with the 3 children. Their relationship seemed more stable though I felt that that was a lot for the girl to take on especially if you are not used to dealing with children.
Looking forward to seeing JB on the screen again. I missed her movie, "Queen to Play" in the theatre. I was concentrating on school so much that I did not get a chance to go to the theatre. And, the movie was an "indie" so it only had a limited run, I gather. I guess I have to wait for the DVD.
I've got to get to Vancouver one of these days.
Well, take care. Will be with you and JB on the couch tonight.
Peace
HARLEM....OMG!!!! What a night. CC was awesome. Finally I believe the BEST episode of the season which makes me even more upset that this show, that has unbelievable potential to be a big hit, has been canceled. I cannot wait until next week, the finale and THE END!
ReplyDeleteAs for CASTLE, OMG again. Another riveting episode with a jaw dropping revelation I did not see coming with Capt. Montgomery.
And....finally, after 3 years it takes his mom to tell him to shit or get off the pot (so to speak). It surely looked like it was too late when Beckett was shot but the show has been renewed so I know she may have been mortally wounded but will recover. It will be intereting to see where the writers take us now with some key players gone and now that CASTLE has told Kate he loved her. It will be a very long summer waiting for the new season but I will be eagerly awaiting.
Enjoy your summer HARLEM. Glad to hear school is out. Cracking the books during break is a smart thing but take some FOR YOU!
PS Never heard of Queen of Play, is it a recent movie? Checked the TV schedule for JB, not movie airing by that name.
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteYes. Both TCC and Castle were awesome. I am truly heartbroken that TCC was cancelled. It did have potential and it was getting better and better each week.
Capt. Montgomery's involvement with that case that involved the killing of Beckett's mom was indeed a shocker! And, to kill him off too!!! Finally, Castle tells Beckett how he feels about her but I have a feeling she knows. Can't wait for next season!!! ;-)
My question is: how is it that with all those police officers in attendance at the burial, how is it they did not notice the flash of a possible weapon?
I am going to try to get some traveling in this summer but I still have to hit the books. My classes are getting progressively harder so I need to stay ahead of the game. I hope that you have a wonderful summer. Enjoy every day as much as you can; summer is oh so short.
Peace.
HARLEM....I am in mourning. What a show, eh? Spt. Colvin is a gutsy chick. Outplayed the playah! Ha. Too bad it is the END as it would be great to open up Season 2 with the Alderman sitting in a jail cell and the evidence coming to light. Felt bad for Jarek learning his brother was a dirty cop but the way everything played out was incredible. Only thing that didn't seem to fit anywhere was the side story of romance between the niece and a fellow officer. Not sure what importance it had to the show or why the need.
ReplyDeleteAs for CASTLE, you are right, why didn't someone see the flash but the better question is why they did not have the area covered with police knowing that they were trying to kill Beckett? Loved the show and I too cannot wait until Season 2. If will be interesting to see where this quasi romance takes us now that he has finally and openly admitted his feelings for her.
Weather in my neck of the woods has been lousey, lots of rain and cool temps. My furnace went on yesterday and again today. Memorial day weekend and rain predicted. Where the hell is summer?
If you are planning to travel this summer by car I hope you own an oil company!
So you too enjoy your summer and always be safe.
Prayers for our fellow Americans in those cities and towns struck so violently by tornadoes over the past several weeks.
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!!! My prayers are also on those weather ravaged states. Mother Nature is unleashing all of her fury for some unknown reason. I pray for forgiveness for whatever has pissed her off!
Yeah, our girl kicked butt. I guess Shawn Ryan let us see our girl triumph, knowing that the show was not being picked up for a second season. Well done!!! As for Kate, "Something's rotten in Denmark". She was a little too far out in the open. There should have been a security detail present. Just a technicality, for us fans.
The weather in my neck of the woods is getting warmer by the day. But, I think it is because of the weather elsewhere. I appreciate where I am. I have to deal with blizzards and nor'easters in the winter, rain in the spring, heat and humidity and an ocassional hurricane or weak tornado in the summer. I hate the cold, love the heat, though the heat can be a lot to bear. All the same, I am glad for where I am. Summer is on the way for you, I'm sure. It'll be hot before you know it.
By the by, where are the rest of our peeps? I haven't been on TLW MB since school started so I've kind of lost track of everyone. We have to get them back to the blog.
Until then, take care. Awaiting the new season of Castle and hoping JB gets a new gig.
Peace
Harlem....just a heads up that I see LOGO is airing Season 1, Episode 1, The Pilot of The L Word on June 7th at 5 am. Not sure what your time slot might be but thought you might like to know. Now that The Real L Word is starting its 2nd season next Sunday, maybe they decided to re-run the entire 6 seasons of TLW. My cable company decided to take LOGO off my Showtime package so I won't be able to watch. I am going to tune in for the first show of TRLW just to see who is back but won't be watching. I see that Whitney is back for sure and I found her without morals and a disgusting piece of work. I know that is strong but that is my opinion. Enjoying a wonderful Memorial Day weekend here in Michigan, thank goodness. All my 'weekend' neighbors are up and putting their boats and other watercraft in the water and getting ready for what I hope will be a nice warm and long summer.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your time off. How's that Bucket List coming?
Thank you to our military for keeping us safe and sacrificing their lives for us each and every day.
Harlem.....got another tidbit out of my local paper this morning......Although Lie to Me has been canceled they say that they are going to finish the current run for sake of the fans. It is airing on Friday, June 3rd on FOX at 9 pm (at least in my neck of the woods).
ReplyDeleteUpdate to LIE TO ME. Just read that it is not a NEW season, they are re-running Season 3 so I suspect that you have seen all of them already. How disappointing. Initial audience of 12 million viewers dropped to 5 million and that is the reason the show was canceled.
ReplyDeletegofigor,
ReplyDeleteIt's been a minute since I last posted to the blog. Been quite busy catching up on all the things I could not do while I was in school. LOL!!!
I caught both TLW on LOGO and L2M on FOX. Still love seeing JB on the air though I am wondering what she's been doing now that TCC is in police heaven. Can't wait to see her in a new show or movie. Just want to ensure that she is able to find work. Don't want her to fade into the background. I just happened to see JB's movie "Roger Dodger" on Showtime this morning at 3AM. I had to laugh because since the cancellation of TLW, I always find a movie or TV show that she played in on the air. It's been about a good month since TCC's cancellation but I still look for her. (And I'm still looking for Bette's Saab!!!! ;-))
How's your summer going? After an initial heat wave, it has been cool in my neck of the woods. Hoping to do a few bucket list items (still working on it!!!).
Our peeps are still MIA. Wow, I hope the economy is not a factor. :-(
Well, have a great weekend. We still have rain and cool weather in the forecast. Hope you will have great weather for the weekend.
Peace
Harlem, geez woman, I was thinking you too had abandoned the blog but I understand that life takes priority. Glad you were able to catch TLW and L2M. I haven't heard anything about JB since TCC went off the air. Pickings on TV are slim. Body of Proof will be returning and I really like that show and of course Castle. Weather here sucks if I may be blunt. We have had just a couple good days where I could actually take my boat out but otherwise it has been rainy and cool. Most of my neighbors will be coming up for the holiday weekend, our lake sponsors a boat parade and contest for those who decorate their boat and then line up and parade all around our lake. It is a lot of fun and it is incredible the imagination of some of these people. Last year the boat that won was fashioned on an old time southern paddle wheel boat (all the boats are pontoon boats). If you didn't know better, you would swear it was an actual paddle wheel. The work put in on these boats in just a few days takes a lot of dedication. I don't enter, prefer to sit on my beach and watch the parade of boats. Anyway, I am praying that the weather improves so that they can enjoy a weekend of R & R. Our summer is so short anyway that I am already disappointed that June is gone and weather has not been conducive to lake activities or picnics, etc. Sounds like you might be experiencing the same thing. Anyway, good to see you. Happy to know all is good with you. Hope you have a great 4th and a good summer. Chip away at that Bucket List.
ReplyDeletePeace and Love
Oops forgot to add this info. Harlem, I thought I may have given you this before but if not, go to LocateTV.com, then in the search bar at the top type in Jennifer Beals and click on it. Then you can type in your zip code and find out when she is on TV, etc. Good luck!
ReplyDeletegofigor,
ReplyDeleteThanks!!! I'll checkout the site. ;-)
Hoping to get to Chi-Town at the end of the month. Crossing my fingers!!!
The weater's been cool not hot like I like it to be. But, I'm trying to enjoy each day as it comes since summer is so short.
Been catching Castle, Body of Proof, Covert Affairs, and Warehouse 13. These will do me good for now. A lot of new shows popping up. FOX has junk in place of TCC and L2M. I'm boycotting!!! The only thing I'm watching on FOX is the early morning news!!! :-(
Have a great 4th. Looking forward to fireworks in my neck of the woods!!!
Peace
Where is everybody? I know I haven't been here in a while but, jeez!!!
ReplyDeleteCome out ,come out wherever you are!!!!
;-)
Enjoying the summer. Yeah, baby!!!
Peace
HARLEM....as usual, just you and me. I notice even the MB has died down. The only thing I see of a regular posting is silly stuff in the Last Word thread.
ReplyDeleteYeah to warm weather finally arriving and staying. Has been picture perfect and the hotter the better for me, however I could do with a little less humidity. The 4th was just a great weekend too and that is great for my weekend neighbors. My family is coming up this weekend for some fun in the sun. Supposed to be a scorcher. Wish we could bottle it for winter.
Wish I was joining you to Chi Town. Absolutely one of my favorite cities. Lots of activity on the streets, lots of great shops, great plays at the theaters, wonderful restaurants, the beautiful Navy Pier and wonderful view if you are staying at lodings on Lake Shore Drive.
Anyway, happy to see that you too are enjoying your summer. You have worked very hard this year so it probably feels good to get some well deserved R & R. ENJOY my friend.
Peace and Love
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteGlad you're enjoying the weather. It's hot here as we are going thru a similar heat wave as the mid-West. I'm loving it, too. Don't want it to cool off.
My planned trip to Chi-Town is a reality. Leaving on a jet plane on Sunday, 24 Jul. I can't wait and am truly excited. I'm planning to see all the sights especially JB's high school alma mater. I promise, I'm not stalking her. But, I'm excited just the same. I've always wanted to see the Windy City. I've heard so much about it all my life that I had to visit. Being in JB's hometown is the icing on the cake.
Well, I'm off to do some work. Two more days and I'm on va-ca for 2 weeks. Yay!!!!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the weather. August is right around the corner. Enjoy every day as it comes.
Peace ;-)
Hey Harlem......so how was your trip to Chicago? Hope it was all you expected and more, it truly is a great city. Any chance you ran into JB? August has arrived and still in a heat wave. We are breaking records for highest temps in years. I love it but could use a little less humidity. Working in the yard and adding sand to my beach. Can't let the heat stop me, AND I am already thinking and dreading winter so will take all the sunshine and warm temps they throw at me.
ReplyDeleteLost my former boss this past week, he was only 73 and a wonderful man, a real suave Cary Grant type. Diagnosed in Jan. with pancreatic cancer and gone in 6 months. It is still difficult for me to accept, he was so full of life. Life is so short and so precious we must live each day and be kind to one another.
Peace and Love
hey gofigor,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your boss. As the saying goes, "We must live every day like it is our last." Each day is a gift and we must enjoy it for every day that the Supreme Being gives us.
I had a great time in Chicago. The weather was great, the food was to die for and the sights, magnificent. I did not get to see JB's high school alma mater and I did not bump into her (though I dreamt that I did!!!)on the streets. I was thrilled and delighted just the same. I danced in the airport upon dis-embarking from the plane. My trip was short ans I didn't want to leave. The city is so beautiful.
Of course I stayed near the downtown area, actually 2 miles from O'Hare airport,but it was great. I am planning to go back next year to see all the sights that I missed. All in all, I am thrilled that I achieved that goal.
The weather is still warm in my neck of the woods, too. I am going to enjoy it for as long as possible because I too am dreading the approaching winter season.
School starts in about 4 weeks so, again, I am trying to enjoy the reminder of the summer as much as I can.
Overall, it has been a great summer despite the heat. My heart goes out to those who are still suffering from the unrelenting heat that refuses to subside. This has been a crazy year, weather-wise.
Read that Showtime is putting out a DVD set of The L Word that will contain extras and a get- togther of the show's cast since its ending. You know I'm getting a set even though I already have a set. Extras with Jennifer is worth the money!!! ;-)
Well, I'll sign off here. Where are the rest of our peeps? Not hide or hair!
Until next time, stay cool!!!
Peace
Hello, out there!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere are all my peeps????
The summer is slowly coming to an end. It has been a great summer despite the heat and the tragedies. I accomplished one of my tasks from my bucket list. Chicago was simply magnificent even though I did not see Jennifer.:-(
All in all, I had a great time in the Windy City. It is such a beautiful city; the architecture, the food and the people are magnificent!!! I did not want to leave. But, they say that the winters are brutal there and I am not one for the cold. ;-)
School starts next week!!! Got to get back to the books except on Monday nights. Planning to watch "The Playboy Club". That show looks hot and so does Amber Heard. She is smoking hot!!! I'm watching just to see her!!! There is a dark-haired beauty on the show too, but I don't know her name. But, I'm waiting for JB's new project, whatever that may be or maybe another channel could pick up The Chicago Code. Even though the show ended, the final episode could be a dream sequence. That could bring the show back. Maybe they'll bring back Lie to Me. I want JB back on the air!!!
Well, now that I have ranted: I hope everyone is well. Have a great week and keep hope alive!!!
Peace
Just checking in as it has been a while. Harlem my friend, so glad you enjoyed your trip to Chicago. Summer is winding down and Fall is in the air. Had my family here this past weekend for a last 'hurrah' before the kids go back to school. Weather was great so they were able to enjoy all of the lake activities.
ReplyDeleteHave not heard of the show you mentioned, The Playboy Club but will check it out. Also have not heard anything about new projects for Miss J. B. aka HARLEM'S HEARTTHROB! Now that school is starting for many, I suspect postings both on the MB which has surely faded and here on our blog will be few and far between. Hope all is well with you Harlem and any of our other peeps who may pop in but not post.
Love, happiness and Peace to all
gofigor,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you. I'm just checking in as well. From your description, your "last hurrah" went well. I did not do much in the way of a last hurrah, but the end of summer is ending beautifully.
I survived Hurricane Irene and did not have to suffer too much unlike those that did, thank God!!!
I am back at school and the class that I am taking is not as bad as my two previous classes. Another thank God!!!
I'm going to try to keep up with the MB and the blog. Been out of the loop for a while on the MB. Gotta talk to my peeps! LOL
Today is Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer. Hope you had a great one. Take care and get ready for Fall; it right around the corner!
Peace
Hello my peeps,
ReplyDeleteBeen a long time. Been really busy with school and work but always thinking of all of you. Hope everyone is fine.
Got our first snow storm. Pretty impressive. Hope this is not a precurser of things to come!!! :(
Have a great weekend!!!
Peace
Happy Holidays to all my peeps!
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is well. Drop a line when you guys get a chance!
