CMA Nomination Reactions from a Country music fanatic!

splash-mockup-bc

As many of you regular readers know, I LOVE Country music. Old Country, New Country, Pop Country, Rock Country…I love it all! With this in mind, I am always on pins and needles for the Country Music Association Awards nominations to be released, as the show is broadcast on ABC, this year on November 6th at 8pm. This is the big daddy of Country Music awards…the Oscars of Nashville, so to be nominated is a HUGE deal. The nominations were released on September 10th, so I thought I would give my opinions and predictions on who will take home the awards on CMA night.

Dancing With The Stars Announces New Cast

I used to watch ABC’s Dancing With The Stars pretty regularly and we had great coverage here on the blog. But to be honest, the show, like most reality TV shows I used to watch, had become a bit formulaic. So I deleted the season pass on the DVR a few seasons ago and didn’t look back. I am willing to give the new season of DWTS a chance, but they better wow me and change up the usual stories. What will have me watching is the presence of a great line up of celebrities and one mechanical engineer – Bill Nye. He’s my early pick, just because so many young adults today grew up watching his TV show, plus, as you know, bow ties are cool now. Watch the two-hour season premiere of “Dancing with the Stars,” MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

“Dancing with the Stars” returns for Season 17 and shakes things up by transitioning to a one night, two-hour format. The one-night extravaganza will feature competitive dance, dynamic group performances and musical guests, all building to a climactic elimination. Each week viewers can vote for their favorite dancing performance. Beginning with the second episode on Monday, September 23, one couple will be eliminated at the end of the show by combining the judges’ scores from that night with the public votes from the previous week.

As announced on ABC’s “Good Morning America” by “Dancing with the Stars” hosts Tom Bergeron and Brooke Burke-Charvet, the 12 celebrities with their professional partners heading to the dance floor this season (in alphabetical order) are:Read More »Dancing With The Stars Announces New Cast

ABC conquers Country Music thanks to the CMA

Logo for the 2013 CMA Music Festival "Country's Night to Rock" TV Special

Last night ABC aired their annual “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night To Rock” special to the biggest demo ratings they have had in 7 years, thus winning the night. This was a big win for ABC, as they special aired last year against “The Voice”, so moving it to August worked in their favor. The special was a 3 hour compilation of the biggest performances from the CMA Music Festival in Nashville this past June.

As a humongous country music fan, I watched every second. It made me love that this brought together my 2 favorite things: Disney (in the form of ABC) and Country Music. On Wednesday, November 6th at 8pm EST, the piece de resistance of the Disney/Country combo shows itself in the form of the CMA Awards, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.Read More »ABC conquers Country Music thanks to the CMA

Why “Trophy Wife” is THE show to watch this season

Trophy Wife

Malin Akerman stars in this new ABC comedy about wife coming into a household with an older man as a husband and kids from two previous marriages. “Trophy Wife” has been named that ironically according to the creators, as Malin’s character breaks that stereotype within the first episode.

Most media has already seen the pilot and reviews have been very good, with most saying it’s one of the best comedies this season. For me though, without even seeing the show, I know it will become my favorite because of the team behind it.
