I love gameshows especially the kind that have questions you can answer. One of my favorites is Jeopardy! along with CashCab. A part of Jeopardy! is the Clue Crew Established in 2001. The Clue Crew travels the globe recording video clues for Jeopardy! the Clue Crew has traveled to 45 states and 31 countries. I asked one member of the clue crew how she became part of it and she was awesome enough to answer my question.

Darknessusa: "How did you get to be in the clue crew if i may ask?"

Kelly Miyahara: "I saw the ad 5 years ago. My mom and dad were the first to tell me about it. I thought it looked like a dream job, but never imagined it would become a reality. Boy, am I glad I applied! After sending in my audition tape and application, I received an invitation to 1 of 6 casting auditions across the country. Mine was in Los Angeles. I received a call back that day, then later was invited to the "Finals." 9 Finalists were involved that weekend in L.A. for an audition/interview process. It was an amazingly fun process and I could hardly believe that it would get better. It did! I have been with the show for 5 seasons now. I love my job!"

flash forward(tv series)

I watched the new TV show FLASHFORWARD on ABC and it was pretty interesting. Since LOST came out and made it big the trend has been to have these large cast mysterious dramas on but few have had the same success. This new show is based on a book and seems promising. A quick description of the show is in order I guess.

"A mysterious global event causes everyone on the planet to simultaneously lose consciousness for 137 seconds, during which people worldwide see what appear to be visions of their lives six months in the future(April 29,2010). The event also results in the deaths of some who were involved in transportation accidents, while the people who survived are left wondering if what they saw will actually happen"

I recognized a few faces from the show too, Courtney B.Vance-I guess he won't be back on Law and Order:Criminal Intent. John Cho of Harold and Kumar Go To Whitecastle fame and Jack Davenport of the English sitcom Coupling and the movie Pirates Of The Caribbean. Seth "FamilyGuy" MacFarlane makes a surprise cameo also.

pushing daisies

So another show I like is going to be canceled. The Nielsen’s ratings system really needs to be overhauled, are we really suppose to believe the opinions of a few people are the viewing habits of millions of Americans. Anyway about Pushing Daises it is one of the most creative and interesting shows to come to prime time TV in a loooooong time, I'll be sorry to see it go.

I guess I should describe the show a bit for the uninformed. The series is about a guy named Ned that is a pie maker with a unique ability, the ability to bring the dead back to life with a touch, he also can "redead" them by another touch. The only drawback is if he does not redead something after 60 seconds something or someone else has to die to balance the scales out.

he is joined on the show by his partner Emerson Cod, a private investigator that uses Ned's gift to help solve crimes and his childhood friend and girlfriend Charlotte(A woman he brought back to life and can never touch again or she will die again). The rest of the cast is rounded out by his waitress , Olive Snook and Charlotte's two aunts Vivian and Lily Charles. also his revived dog Digby.

Bachelorette

The Bachelorette premiered Monday, if you don't know what the Bachelorette is it is the female companion to the Bachelor, a show in which a man chooses from a group of woman that is whittled down each episode until he is left with one woman that he presumably will marry. Well the show came on and I was looking to see if any black men were stupid enough to try out and sure enough there was one and predictably he was among the first eliminated. Black people please save your self the embarrassment and stick to shows which feature your own kind. No white man or woman is gonna marry you unless you are a supermodel or actress in the case of a white man or a million dollar athlete in the case of a white woman.

my A-TEAM movie

These are my actors I would try to cast if I were making a big screen version of the A-TEAM tv show. Some picks I think could be better,like Hopkins. I probably would use Clooney if he would do it. and B.A. BARACUS,my brother thinks Michael Clark Duncan would be good.

Terminator: The Sarah Conners Chronicles

I am a fan of the terminator series and all the movies except T3. Recently I recorded the terminator TV show, an original TV show based on the movies that takes place after the second one. So I watched and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the show, I found it very enjoyable. Summer Glau makes a good terminator from an original model series that is closer to human than the Arnold Schwartzeneggar type also she is female so that makes a different dynamic between her and John Conner. Sarah is played tough but a little more compassionate than in T2. Hopefully it will stay on the air long enough to catch a following
