  HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2009

  The Fox Family Christmas Tree 2009.

  Well another year has come and gone and the best of and worst of lists abound. I happened upon this animated television show called "He-man and She-Ra Christmas Special", I couldn't believe it so I watched LOL if you want to see the second worst Christmas program of all time then you can view it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzH7hztIHeg.

  The first place program was quite a ditty called "Star Wars Christmas Special" (197 what never heard of it, for shame.

  Remakes Vs Originals

  The Prisoner remake begins this weekend on AMC. The buzz is that Ian MacKellan is absolutely brilliant. When isn't he . You can view the preview PrIsOnEr. I loved the original cult cla$$ic from the 60's with Patrick McGoohan so I hope they live up to the high expectations. There are so many remakes on both the big and small screens it's mind boggling. Another series in the works is Alien Nation set to come out in 2010 on SyFy. I think with the success of V that there will be more shows revisited.

  

  For the big screen there are so many reworkings of successful films that one wonders where all the originality went to.

  The A-Team is arriving with Liam Neeson as Hannibal and Bradley Cooper as Templeton (remember him as Will Tippin from Alias). I'm looking forward to Clash of the Titans, I loved the 1981 original and the trailer for the remake is amazing. TITANS Liam Neeson is in this one too he plays Zeus. Also remakes of Poltergeist, Dune, Tron, Nightmare on Elm Street, Robocop even Short Circuit ... whooa flashback to the 80's or what.

  

  On the series' front Eastwick has gone bye bye, nothing like vultures circling is there. House's mind has some interesting people in it!

  So how do you feel about remakes vs originals? Do you have any that you would like to see redone? Or are you totally against them? I don't mind them as long as they are well done. Unfortunately there are some that should be left alone.

  It's Here

  What a fantastic opener for V. I think the producers did an awesome job and brought me back in time to when television was a time you couldn't wait to see what happens next. I was not disappointed and I think the cast did an awesome job. It feels right. I did not watch NCIS for the first time. The Good Wife had another excellent episode, really am loving that show. Watched NCIS:LA because my guys like it, I did not. Really sad to see Trauma cancelled, I don't get it, Heroes had fewer viewers than Trauma and is still on. The storyline in Heroes is rehashing stuff from it's only good season (1). Loving Brothers and Sisters, I think it's because I feel a connection with Kitty's (Calista Flockhart) cancer storyline. It hits very close to home for me.

  It was a funny day yesterday, raining, sleeting and finally snowing so this is what I woke up to this morning. My chickens will be staying in their barn today.

  

  When the weather is like this my cats are usually like this, at least Ziggy is. My fat boy is right next to me sprawled beside the computer desk. Right now it's Romeo curled up beside me, they seem to take turns sometimes I have a pile up and Sadie (the dog) squeezes herself in as well.

  

  I also have to include the dogs, that's Ozzy (10), Sadie (1), Cody (14). This is the former dining room now den where the boys play their X-Box and their computer and hubby's workstation. The table was made by my son and hubby during the summer. It's a cribbage table/bench outside in the summer and a game table in the den in the winter. They made it from a remnant piece for a log cabin. We use the other leftover pieces chopped up for the woodstove, from a friend of ours who builds log homes.
