Reduce Episodes of TV Series isn't that Bad.

I love television, period. I love tuning in each week to one of my favorite shows from Chicago Fire to The Big Bang Theory  and etc. I'm use to the standard 22 to 24 regular episodes of comedies and dramas but in recent years with cable networks and online streaming that reducing episodes may seem a really great idea.

I've been watching television since I could remember and I'm 26 years old so you do the math. I believe that in recent times that a full 22-24 episode season is still great. But now with a full season like that it does get a bit tiresome just tuning in week after week and yeah there are times when a rerun will come on, but that's what full seasons bring.

Now a days, with cable and online streaming, a series can go from 10 to 13 episodes. If you take a show like "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," "Breaking Bad," & "Game of Thrones" those shows tell great stories in one good season. And the best part is that after the season is over, it leaves you wanting more. Isn't that what television is all about, leaving you wanting more.

If you take a look at the final seasons of "30 Rock,"  "Parenthood" and "Parks and Recreations" there is no doubt that their final seasons were their best season by far. A short season focus on the characters and the stories that they are focusing on.

Hell, we're living now in reboot/revile era now with former shows returning from "24," "Heroes: Reborn," "The X-Files" and even "Coach.' It's a great idea and probably there will be more reboots down the road from maybe "Veronica Mars" and "Will & Grace"? I know there's been word about a "Law & Order" coming back as well with a short season.

There could be episodes that are amazing and awesome but there could be episodes that seems like a downer and doesn't wow us at all.

All I'm saying that is I think a short 13 episode season for a series isn't that bad at all. The series runs it's 13 episode course and than there might be another series that gets your attention. I could use the free time away from the television screen once in a while.

The Hunt is On: Heroes Reborn: Official Trailer

The official trailer of "Heroes: Reborn" was shown at this weekend's Comic Con and all I have to say is, the hunt is on for our Heroes to return.

Zachary Levi looks totally bad ass, but how bad ass is when Noah shows up. When Noah gets his glasses goosebumps started. The trailer looks amazing and I'm literally can't wait for the premiere to start.

Here's the official trailer.

The "Heroes: Reborn" premieres Thursday, September 24th at 8/7c on NBC

"Elvis"

I find this poem along with other papers from high school that my grandmother wrote. I came upon this when my mother and I were cleaning up her room so when she comes back from the nursing home that there's plenty of room for her. Apparently this poem was found inside a folder with other papers and I thought I share this, since it was good and Elvis Presley is still "The King of Rock n' Roll."

"Elvis"

Elvis Presley is a name

if he ever left me

I’d love him just the same

His singing puts me on cloud nine

and I just wish he was all mine

There will never be another,

to take his place

he’s the most perfect man,

in this whole human race

his voice puts me in a trance

wow I sure like to see him dance

I’ll love him forever

Even if he goes down

please don’t get married

I want you around.

"Chicago"

I was never much into musicals until I've seen them while watching comedy sketches. For the hit musical "Chicago" it never made sense to me at the time, even when I saw it on television or VHS. But when I saw it again years later,  I really enjoyed it and understood as well.

The theme to the musical film "Chicago" shown many different themes and yet it all takes place in the city of Chicago. One of the themes I think that's in this story is criminalize. We see how Roxie shoots a guy just to get in bed with and thinking that she was going to finally be ready to make as a show star even though she wasn't the only girl who did that kind of thing, as we see a whole line jail cell of women who did about the same thing.

Another is frame, there's another word for it....ambition perhaps. When Richard Gere's character tries to support the women that caused a rally interesting crime to him that he could sink his teeth into and get the press.

I think that if I was going to talk about the set up the stage for the show, I would want it to be in a proscenium stage. I think that with a stage like this it gives a better way for the audience to see and the cast to change each scene as the show goes on. I think that maybe the good way of having this kind of stage is for the actors to get in and get out and that the audience can see the faces of the actors.

I think that maybe some of the disadvengates is that the stage might be a little higher for the audience that are seating in the front row and that for those who are seating all the way in the e back they might not see very well on what's going on in the story.

Queen Latifith, I think, gave a really good performance in the film. I thought that her physical and vocal choices were something that she has had and that this role for her as Mama was perfect for her. In the scene when she was introduced as Roxie was in her jail cell or the first night that I thought she really took off.

Her character made sense in a way for a name like "Mama" I think would make a perfect sense that she shows her affection for those girls that want to get some attention, a big of a hustle and flow kind of thing. And I thought that her performance singing "When You're a Good Mama" was amazing. Her voice really stood out in that scene. Also not to mention that for her character to show feelings in her performance in that number was believable and that it was her voice that really got me saying "wow!"

Give it to Richard Gere, who I thought was outstanding in his role as Billy Flynn the lawyer. I really couldn't tell if he had emotions for his character. It seemed fake just for the glamour and press he likes to eat up when taking the hot new criminal case. I thought that he had a really good comedic style, talked fast and snag.

His performance singing in the film was good. I really didn't know that he could sing, but maybe that is all ethical stuff that helped him out, who knows? I really enjoyed his number" Movie Doll" and when he tap danced during that scene when he was thinking of a way to get out when Velma revealed Roxie's diary in court. His dancing was really good and to add that Gere seem to retained his character after we first see him in the film.

Overall I thought the film version of "Chicago" was very good. There were some parts that I didn't quite like and some that I did enjoy. I like musicals and this one goes to the top of my list. I could see why it won Best Picture" at the Oscars that following year.
