#TheRoundUp By Enzer - No. 48
HOT ON TV
Who’s not a fan of America’s Got Talent (AGT)?
Could it be Jerry Springer?
The runner-ups?
FOX Networks?
I’m sorry to break it to some of you folks, but if we did the math, AGT would still be on the air.
Wait, it still is!
AGT, which has had a special slot on NBC’s summer lineup since 2006, is the best-televised talent show in the history of talent shows.
Missing a season of AGT’s newsworthy contestants, the panel of judges and hosts would cause an earthquake in our world that can only be prevented by a kiss from a beautiful woman named Tyra Banks.
Her energy and humor coupled with her good looks and TV experience have rejuvenated this long running talent show and made the American Summer of 2017 a delight.
The production is insane! It really elevates the viewing experience and gets audiences hooked ‘til the end of each episode. I also love the fact that the producers continuously reinvent the series and that the brand has gone global.
I am glad you’re reading this because it means you’ll tune in.
So tune in.
AGT airs on NBC. NBC is Enzer’s World (E.W.) Independent Online Recognitions’ Best TV Network for the 5th E.W. Year.
Another TV series that I can’t stop watching is Insecure on HBO. It’s a woman-centric series about a group of African-American women that are hard-working, intelligent, hopeless romantics, confident and love sex. It is similar to Girls (which also aired on HBO) and the series also shines a light on the modern woman in the workplace/office.
You must catch up, coz I did.
Tune in because the singles are full of life/personality and are desperate for any human that walks by. In short, it’s a good show.
HOTTER:
The 2017 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) will air live from California on MTV before the end of August.P!nk will receive the Video Vanguard Award, Kendrick Lamar received the most nominations and Katy Perry will host the shindig. #NotToBeMissed
The Outstanding Fictional TV Series for the 5th E.W. Year is Shameless airing on Showtime.
The series did well in our books by scoring big on script writing, direction, acting, music, and wardrobe. The show has been nominated several times for the top award such that I’m sure a lot of our followers expected it to lose. Thank God it didn’t.
Shameless returns this fall on Showtime with Emmy Rossum (Fiona Gallagher) as the leading lady.
Emmy was also nominated in the category: Outstanding Actress in a Fictional TV Series for the 5th E.W. Year.
A.I. UPDATE:
In case you haven’t heard, American Idol (A.I.) returns in 2018 on ABC. Katy Perry and Chris Daughtry have been confirmed as judges, Ryan Seacrest returns as host and some of the auditions have already taken place.
Let the countdown begin! #WeCantWait
THROWBACK:
The 2017 BET Awards telecast was too long. The show which aired on BET in June delivered an outstanding TV product that went on for too long. I had to repeat that because I ended up skipping most of the segments.
Fairly, the music performances were immeasurable and the presenters were well rehearsed. However, the hostess did not really impress me. Leslie Jones is a great TV personality and she was supposed to make her mark on that night but sadly the TV Gods were not on her side. Pick another comedian next time BET bosses and we will continue to be friends. *winks*
SPEAK OUT
#Celebs
Laverne Cox is E.W.’s Top Female Celeb for the 5th E.W. Year!
She is beautiful, she is talented, she is tall and she is definitely popular. She is a role model, a trendsetter, a pioneer and a legend in the making. Trust me; a conversation with Laverne is no time wasted on planet earth.
The male winner is Brad Pitt!
Brad is a gentleman that sits next to royalty. I am pleased he won that recognition because to be honest, who doesn’t have a crush on him?
