So what is your plan this weekend of Memorial Day of 2016? We may have some good movies playing in your neighborhood theater, so that’s good. The Disney Channel will have a marathon of it’s 100th original movie. They will broadcast the classic movies they have made for the past 10 to 16 or many years ago. Movies that we love on the Disney Channel.  Now these stars have grown up and have successful careers in the movie industry.

In celebration of Adventures in Babysitting (premiering June 24 at 8 p.m.) I know you are going to watch it this weekend, or even DVR it. Make sure you clear out your DVR delete the old shows or anything else for the past 6 months and record some of the Disney Channel Original Movies.

Summer TV of 2015

sillykhan TV Shows, What's On TV , , , , , , , , , , ,

So what are you going to watch this summer? Do remember last time when Direct TV and Dish TV and other cable and satellite decided to block certain channels during the summer months? Do you know why? Most people weren’t watching TV during the summer and they have to pay a lot of fees to stay on the air and make program changes to catch your attention. Including local channels when various talk show have the summer off and they show summer reruns. Sometime they would come back in the middle summer and go back to work to broadcast new information and new shows to watch.

Take a chance to catch some of the new shows coming in the Summer of 2015. Here’s the calendar of events for TV viewing this summer.

Peter Pan LIVE

sillykhan Movie Reviews, TV Reviews, What's On TV , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Peter Pan Live was extraordinary to watch. A Broadway play on TV, using commercial breaks for set changes or for the actors to get ready to do the next scenes as the stage managers rush the actors to be on time and not to mess up their lines. It was great to watch a famous play live on NBC.  The ratings were down from last year when The Sound of Music Live premiere on NBC year ago.

Allison Williams, actress, comedian, and musician. She stars as Marnie Michaels on the HBO comedy-drama series Girls. I love this show. It’s a guy thing. She’s get naked in some scenes, but I like it. And it’s funny. She did a fantastic job as Peter Pan. My question is? Why is Peter Pan a woman? Should Peter Pan be a man?  The name Peter is a man’s name. Jack Noseworthy (Peter in Jerome Robbins’ Broadway): He was the only to do it on Broadway, but he was an understudy. He was a singer, and a dancer and he looked like a boy when he got the role.

Why the ratings went down? Maybe people did not like the casting part of the Peter Pan? Do the people want Carrie Underwood back and make her to a boy? All actors have to audition for a part, she wasn’t given the part.  They probably did have male actors as Peter Pan when auditioning for the part. So they decided to pick Allison Williams and asked her “How do feel if we cut your hair and trim it to make you look like a boy?”

“What about my breast?” Allison Williams asked.

“Duct tape?” the casting agent said.

“Ok” Allison Williams said.

Did Christopher Walken messed up his lines? He probably saw his image as Captain Hook on the TV monitors. Nothing happen to the set. No mistakes. I guess. Probably the actors did messed up the lines and did not notices, but quickly got the lines right. Only one picked out when analyzing the live broadcast on my DVR of the movie. When Peter comes in through the window and the camera pans to the adult Wendy, the Steadicam operator and camera can be seen.

John Allyn and Jake Lucas are casts as brothers. Alanna Saunders played Tiger Lilly.

What will NBC produce next?

The winner of Reality Talent Shows

sillykhan Award Season, Dancing With The Stars, Reality Programs, What's On TV , , ,

These are my favorite shows to watch, the variety of talent shows on TV, seeing unknown people making it big and becoming a celebrity. To become one, one must work hard and become successful. Never let people bring you down, stay with positive people. The key for being successful is work hard, a dedication of commitment that you want to do. Surpass what the bullies told you that you will never make it, or the boyfriend/girlfriend did not get from you and now they want you back. Don’t! Stay in the present and move forward with your life. Become like Taylor Swift, use your past experiences and turn them into stories or songs, get it out from your chest, the burden and the pain. The real friends are your talent. Become what you want to do. Here are the winners for this week.

MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY, MERYL DAVIS

For Dancing with the Stars was Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Meryl Davis also won the Gold during the winter Olympics in Sochi, with her partner Charlie White.

Josh Kaughman The Voice

For The Voice was Josh Kaufman, he’s a R&B singer and from Team Usher.

Caleb Johnson 5 22 2014

For American Idol was Caleb Johnson from Asheville, NC. Another Carolina had won before too, which was good. This is the original show that started the reality talent shows and discovered new stars, a pioneer produced by Simon Cowell, in which the X-factor was cancelled due to low ratings, who won last time and record sales of the albums.

This talent shows the struggle and the transformation of being a celebrity and the sacrifice they become one.

I wish I can be one of them.

Tessanne Chin

Congratulations to Jamaican Tessanne Chin for winning The Voice.  She was surprised, she hugged her parents when they came to the stage. With all the excitement she had to sing the final song for the night. It was a One Republic’s Ryan Tedder song which was sung by the winner.

Her mentor Adam Levine came on stage and presented her with the trophy.  If The Voice gives out award to the winner the X-factor and American Idol does not give out awards, they should give an award to the winners.

Jacquie Lee

Anyway, Jacquie Lee from New Jersey was the second, Christina Aguilera was proud that she made this far in the competition. She even won a car and she’s not old enough to drive it yet. Probably the parents would get a chauffer for her and she will be able to fun with the car.  She would get a record deal and her album will come out next Spring in 2014.

Other highlights for the night:

The boy band Matthew Schuler, Nic Hawk, Ray Boudreaux, Josh Logan, and Preston Pohl sang Bruno Mar’s “Treasure”

Will Champlin, Cole Vosbury, Caroline Pennell, Jonny Gray, and Austin Jenckes  sang Lumineerian cover of “Wagon Wheel”;

The ladies sang My Life Would Suck Without You” by Kat Robichaud, Shelbie Z., Stephanie Anne Johnson, Amber Nicole, Grey, and Tamara Chauniece;

Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera sang “Do What U want” with champagne glasses in their hands.
