Auditioning for a reality television series is not something I had ever dreamed of or planned on doing. But in November of 2012, I spent the day lined up with hundreds other hopefuls in New York City, wishing for just one thing: to make it through the casting call of FOX's hit cooking competition series MasterChef.

You're Beautiful (Korea Drama) Review
by mouse1996
You're Beautiful Promotional Picture
I'm addicted to Korean dramas. Well to be honest I like a lot of Asian dramas in general, but I really love Korean dramas. You can usually expect the same thing from a Korean drama, but each story is different. There is usually a girl and guy who don't really like each other, but they are forced into dealing with each other. Over time their relationship changes and they fall in love.

Shalom Sesame DVD Series
by mommymommymommy
Kids love these characters!
As a child, I loved watching the Rankin Bass and Peanuts Christmas specials on television.  Unlike children of today, who can pop in a DVD or watch a program on the computer, we only got once chance to view these programs.  If we missed it, we had to wait an entire year to see it again.  I even circled the times they were on in red pen in the TV Guide just to be sure I did not forget!

Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel in The Avengers TV Show
When Steed rang her doorbell for the first time, we met Diana Rigg as Mrs. Emma Peel and fell irrevocably in love with her. Steed was always as cool as cucumber and oh so charming, but it was Mrs. Peel we adored. How could anyone be so elegant, so very sophisticated? Exceptionally intelligent, she was well educated, stunningly gorgeous, incredibly sexy and completely loyal to her husband, who might, or might never, come back from being lost somewhere over the Amazon jungle.

When you want to be whisked away in an elevator and go through different times to save civilization or help everyday people, you’re probably going to be a big fan of arguably Britain’s most popular series ever – Dr. Who.

Naming Winter Storms
by Muin
Winter scene at East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN
Have you noticed that the Weather Channel has started naming winter storms this season? My dear hubby watches the weather a bit obsessively. I tend to look out the window rather than look at a radar map to see if it is going to rain, but hey, that's only me. Sometime after Christmas, I realized that The Weather Channel (TWC) was talking about a storm called Euclid, so I had to investigate what the deal was.

Daryl Dixon: The Best Walking Dead Character Ever
by Blanca Verome
Daryl Dixon
It took me a while to catch up on The Walking Dead, so for a very long time, I didn't understand why Daryl Dixon had such a big following. I watched the first few episodes and thought, "He's nothing special, he's not even hot!"Now we are in the middle of Season 3 and the fans are really piling up for Daryl Dixon. Just what makes this character so insanely popular? I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has to do with the fact that he's immune to all the drama the others deal with. That and the fact that he's just plain awesome.

by BaronTarquin
Tiny Toons
I was born in the late 80's so it is safe to say that I really enjoyed the 1990's. If you were able to enjoy the 90's like I was, I think you will have to agree that the cartoons of the 90's were far superior than those being made today.
