#TheRoundUp by Enzer - No. 37
HOT ON TV
CBS is the Best TV Channel/Station/Network for the second year in a row and boasts top E.W. shows such as 2 Broke Girls, The Big Bang Theory, NCIS, The Bold & The Beautiful, Mom and many more hit TV shows.
Why CBS?
CBS has the most television series that are usually shortlisted for the E.W. Recognitions and those particular series are some of the best-produced shows on Television. Plus, the reality TV shows airing on CBS are so awesome (Survivor US, The Amazing Race, etc) and are some of the most expensive shows produced for Television.
Oh, and the Televised Events are the cherry on top. The Grammys, The Tonys, The ACM Awards amongst others, air live on CBS each year and definitely add to CBS’s value.
Tune in some time.
HOTTER:
Saturday Night Live (SNL) on NBC has stepped up! The SNL Gods have finally responded! Week after week the 41st Season of this series keeps entertaining and surprising viewers. Time flies whilst watching an episode, like an hour of TV airtime isn't enough.
The producers/directors/owners are doing a great job at selecting hosts and musical guests unlike during the 40th Season (gosh it took them a random season to pull up their socks, WOW) which was a little bit of a mess. Even the 40th Anniversary celebration was a huge flop. Anyway, it’s not like we have options. *SIGHS*
THROWBACK:
The 2015 American Music Awards (AMAs) aired live on ABC on the 22nd of November. Jennifer Lopez (JLo) was not a bad hostess. It just looked like she was at the awards just to have fun. Yes, (please don’t deny this) she even had an awkward moment on stage. I don’t think she was showing off, I guess she was just being human, LOL.
The 2014 AMAs versus the 2015 AMAs, 2014 wins. This year’s ceremony wasn’t exciting even with JLo as hostess. The performances were not bad at all. It was the usual pop stars and all. It just felt like people were ‘drained’ or stressed out or just bored. What was going on that night?
On the other hand, I will be tuning in next year hoping that the producers will blow our minds just like in 2014.
MUSIC SPOT
THIS ALBUM ROCKS!

Carly Rae Jepsen is the coolest chick in showbiz (that I’ve heard of). I am happy her music is beginning to mature and I can’t wait for another one of her pretty awesome music videos.

#TheRoundUp by Enzer No. 36
HOT ON TV
I'll start with Awkward; the series had me at episode one! I love the setting, the plot, the actors, the production, the channel – dude, close the curtains because we have a winner (err sort of).
Season 5 of the series took it home. I have never been more impressed by a production team in my ‘life.' Really, I have nothing bad to say about this series.
Awkward has numerous nominations (E.W. Recognitions) and (overall) continues to do well. Will it last?
Have you ever watched Faking It? I just love the names that MTV (or whoever is responsible) gives to these series, LOL. The writers of this teen drama did a good job at playing with audiences' minds. No, I am not going to spoil it for you if you haven't watched the show before. Oh, and it's LGBTI-Friendly (on the Lesbian side) and depicts a rare story about teens that are somewhat confused about their sexuality. It's funny, relatable and not offensive in any way (unlike Orange Is the New Black on Netflix which taps into that unforgiving side unreservedly). Top Male Celebrity Gregg Sulkin stars in the show as heartthrob Liam Booker and is one of the many reasons I try to never miss an episode. Yes, he's a catch.
Did you miss the TV version of Scream? The show, which aired its premiere season this past summer (American), turned out to be a hit and was renewed for a second season. Everything was well done and I can't wait for the second season. They really did well with the characters and the storylines plus the hour-long episodes were not a bad idea at all. The series is not a comedy-drama (or as we like to call it here – dramedy) so I guess that an hour wouldn't be too much. Forget the Scream Movies, this series is as original as any other series in its genre and is MUST SEE TV – YEAH!
The 2015 MTV Europe Music Awards aired live from Milan on the 25th of October and were hosted by Top Music Act Ed Sheeran and Australian actress Ruby Rose (she's hot isn't she?). I loved the stage! It was so 2015. The graphics were out of this world. I am sure a lot of producers and designers had a sleepless night after they saw that stage in Milan. The performances were spot on. Jason Derulo, Justin Bieber, and Jess Glynne were my favorite performers and the presenters did a great job. I'd watch the show ten times (if I haven't already).
The 2015 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards aired live on ABC this week. The event took place in Nashville in an arena filled with Country Stars and Fans; I wish I was there too! Keith Urban opened the ceremony with a medley of his hit singles and Little Big Town won big time. Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley hosted the event. They did a great job and cracked jokes like pros. Are they hosting again? The performances were the best. Country Singers really know how to perform live. There is no other group of performers that does it better and the fusions with artists of other genres, makes them better. I salute!
HOTTER:
Jennifer Lopez will be hosting the 2015 American Music Awards! Yes, thank you for that. It must work out because JLo is hosting. I really hope they trained her and got her really ready unlike with other hosts that they just throw into the deep end (I'm looking at you Pitbull). Surprise us; make it memorable, we will be watching.
American Horror Story on FX is losing it, and it's not just me. No, every viewer, fan and critic out there is losing hope. What happened to you AHS? Where are the outrageous scenes that made this show a hit? We miss you. Please work on it.
THROWBACK:
Masters of Sex on Showtime aired its Season 3 Finale at the end of September of this year. The ending was such a cliché. Well, at least the writers didn't take it too far so I'll be watching the next season. Generally, it's a good show. It's not edgy, but everything that happens on the show is unexpected. I like that the series drifts from the norm (in many ways) and really tries to portray reality. On the other hand, I feel like the series has an unfair advantage because it's based on a true story. It makes it easier for the writers to tap into reality and connect with audiences. Which I hope is working out because I for sure am enjoying the series.
IN THE NEWS
SPEAK OUT
Leah Remini is trending, seriously trending. OMG, she is everywhere! She's out and about talking about why she left the Scientology Church and all the drama that came along with her 30 year-long (yes, 30 years) stay. I like Leah Remini. She is a beautiful and talented individual with an amazing reality show and a ton of jokes in reserve (I also loved watching her on The Talk airing on CBS) but the story that has her name on the tip of everyone's tongue is so old. I've read about this stuff, I've talked to many people who've been through similar experiences (I'm sure many people have) such that it has become a nuisance. However, I am glad that a celebrity or someone that is well known and respected in Hollywood is speaking out about all that happens behind the closed doors of these churches of redemption. It's an eye opener, a chance to raise awareness and a call for help for all those that are trapped. Good for you Leah!
