Qox Populi . Tuesday 21st - Monday 27th
[ Welcome to GuyTVBlog.com's 2nd season of Qox Populi! What's that you ask? Sit up way too close to your PC screen and let's learn a new pop culture phrase! This creation is created based on the term, Vox Populi, which means "popular public opinion" or "voice of the people". To give it a queer edge, as GuyTVBlog.com tends to do with TV programs, this webmaster has changed the first letter to "Q" thus making the immature side of you pronance the word as "cox poppye lee". It's fun to talk dirty, teach your friends.
This is how Qox Populi will work. Each week, on every tuesday, you'll find within these posts various news topics, rants and raves as well as my personal dislikes & highly respectable [to those of interest] opinion regarding everything that appears on your TV box. Anytime I watch a show or experience something pop culture related on tv that has a queer twist, I will post about it under each week's Qox Populi entry. Visit GuyTVBlog.com all week to see how it works. ]
Don't forget to tune in Thursday morning for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! It's 3 hours of checking out hunky TV crush material Matt Lauer overseeing this year's 80th annual event! Julie Andrews is going to make an apperance, hopefully for the Disney float. Look out for Sarah McLachlan & Prince as well along with the White Christmas original cast. And what's this? NBC's website is announcing that MADONNA will appear!
And if you check out the official website for the parade, there's an evil lookin' clown in the middle of the top banner. I don't want to be scared this Thanksgiving day!
The parade has also given itself the title of "the longest running show on Broadway". Let's get technical and say it's not! And what the FUCK was I when they were taking the Macy's Thanksgiving parade on a national tour. They were in Dallas on November 1st at the North Park Center. I mean WHERE THE FUCK WAS I? FUCK!
Want a heads up on this year's parade line up when everyone is watching? Then check out the official list online now. I'm flipping the fuck out for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends float. Love that show!
Oh Wait, I just found out why F.H.F.I.F. is featured in this year's parade. Cartoon Network is airing a new movie on Thanksgiving Day featuring the zany characters going on a road trip to track down Wilt, the basketball imaginary friend! And if you've got kids in your home during Thanksgiving then put your tele box on Cartoon Network and let them enjoy the massive marathon of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends that starts as early as 6 a.m.!
Rosie's View . Want to see Rosie get OWNED on Tuesday's show? Check out Best Week Ever's write up on Rosie's somewhat idiotic "View" on Kelly Ripa's antics on her own show. Here Rosie never admits to being wrong and continues to uphold what a self appointed TV queen is. Damn your Views on straight people Rosie, Damn them!
He's Gay! . The Hollywood Reporter has reported that the Lifetime network has given the go to a dating show with a unique- okay, a twist we've seen before, nothing too original but at least they're trying. The show is "Gay, Straight or Taken?" and the premise has a woman going out on 3 dates with 3 men and then at the end of the show she has to correctly choose who of the 3 men is the straight single guy.
Now if she does choose correctly then she will win a trip to go fuck the single guy in some exotic locale. If she guesses incorrectly then the "taken" or "gay" guy gets to his "significant other" to that exotic locale for an all night fucking fest with their "significant other". And I assume the woman who doesn't win anything may still get to walk away with the single guy... but they'll have to fuck all night at his or her apartment. I don't know.
Endemol USA president David Goldberg has told THR that "This show really turns stereotypes on its head." Um... whatever, as long as the guys get shirtless somehow and the woman always picks wrong. And apparently this show is super old because the UK's ITV has already done this format back in 2003.
Celebrity Gest? . It seems David Gest, the social nut who married a musical nut, is appearing on UK's ITV I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! reality show. Now according to Gest, Michael Jackson called David and told him not to go on this show and another contestant tells the audience through online videos that you have to "get" David first and then he can be a "really funny top guy".
That's right. The day is almost here. Wednesday, November 22nd is the new night for drama!. Check out the full trailer here. 7 new strangers are thrown together in yet another social experiment where pretty people from the youth world are forced to live and fuck together all while dealing with booze, useless confrontations and infectious STD's.
Now the reason I wrote "... Colorado?" is because usually the cast doesn't say what state the show was filled in. At least I don't think so... check out all 15 season openings, back to fucking back. Thanks ieguy44! [Just give the video 30 seconds to start]. Boston & Seattle season openers are my top favorites!
I'm actually psyched about this season and can't wait for it to start. I'm also not that big a fan of the token gay member this year... I'm all about Brooke this season. She looks like this year's Tonya, Paula & Irene all thrown together in one personality! I'm betting that without Brooke, this season is going to make me loose my hard as fuck TV erection.
Also, thanks to karlsukhia for helping the viewing public discover the name of a song sampled in a Real World Denver TV spot. In the spot featuring the RWD girls repeating over and over "Hey Tyrie, Can We Join You?" the song used is ""Hey Girl" by Bamboo Shoots. Check out their MySpace profile where you can listen to the entire song. The song starts off great but then turns into another whole new song. Disappointing. But then again I'm not the greatest music credit so don't listen to me.
Remember, MTV, The Real World Denver, airing 3 times, 7pm, 8pm 9pm for us on Central/Mountain time in Texas!
Lately I've been on a "Over The Rainbow" fix. So here I present to you the darling Judy Garland singing "Over The Rainbow" in a 1968 performance on the Mike Douglas show.
