High School Musical Get in the Picture Episode 9 Music

Written by: John

As I’ve done in the past, I’ve tried to list all the High School Musical: Get in the picture music for those interested in the show. Here’s the whole list of HSM: Get in the Picture music.

TV theme songs was the theme for this show’s performance and the following are the theme songs they used:

Mary Tyler Moore theme song
Sonny Curtis - Sonny Curtis - Love Is All Around (The Mary Tyler Moore Show Theme)
Greatest American Hero theme song
Joey Scarbury - America's Greatest Hero - Theme from "Greatest American Hero" (Believe It or Not)
Cheers theme song
Gary Portnoy - Keeper - Where Everybody Knows Your Name (Cheers Theme)
One Day at a Time theme song
TV Themes - TV Themes - One Day At a Time

A quick thought about the show. I’m really sad to see TJ get sent to the chorus. I can see why they did it, but I also think he wasn’t really given a chance to shine. I’m sure that James Wolpert is going to be going to the chorus soon too, because he just is too awkward to win this competition.

I also love the absolutely typical high school girls Bailey Purvis and Shayna Goldstein. It makes me glad I’m not in high school anymore, but they take me back to the high school drama that I had long forgotten.

Finally, Christina Brown’s voice is just absolutely wonderful to hear and Tierney Chamberlain really does need to open up. Well, she doesn’t have to if she doesn’t want to, but she needs to if she wants to win. That’s up to her.

JJ Abrams Promises You Won’t Get Lost in Fringe Pilot

Written by: John

If you’ve ever watched any of JJ Abrams previous shows you might wonder if you’re going to be completely lost watching the Pilot episode of Fringe. JJ Abrams has committed to not confusing you:

If you’ve ever been utterly baffled by a television show that J.J. Abrams had a hand in creating — too confused to follow the serpentine plot twists of Lost or Alias or, heck, even Felicity — know that Abrams, the prolific writer, producer and director, has been annoyed, too. With you.

“I just got tired of hearing people say to me, over and over, ‘Yeah, I was watching it, but I missed one, I got really confused, and I stopped watching it,’” he said in a recent phone interview.

Considering what I’ve ready about Fringe so far I’m pretty sure you’re not going to want to miss an episode or you’ll be missing something valuable. This is just more reason for Fox to stream all the Fringe episodes online similar to how ABC streams its shows.

It was also interesting to learn how JJ Abrams came up with Fringe:

His newest show was born from pragmatism. In 2007 he was preparing to direct Star Trek for Paramount, but he also owed a television series to Warner Brothers, the studio that produces Fringe, and he turned to Kurtzman and Orci for help. They traded ideas about beloved fantasy films and television series –The X-Files, Altered States, the early movies of David Cronenberg — but also looked carefully at procedural crime dramas dominating the networks. “When six of the Top 10 shows are Law & Order and C.S.I.,” Orci said, “you have to be a fool not to go study what it is that they’re doing.”

The Amazing Race 13 Spoilers and Quotes

Written by: John

I think this is the best TAR 13 article I’ve read so far. It gives you some interesting insights on things to watch for and also some quotes from the TAR 13 cast.

“I love the fraternity brothers because they’re so young and such a contrasting team,” host Phil Keoghan recently told The Associated Press. “One takes his time to think things out. The other one loves to rush and go at a million miles an hour. There’s definitely tension between the two of them while they’re making decisions during the race.”

Another team competing is geeky best friends Mark Yturralde, 41, and Bill Hahler, 42. The Comic-Con treasurer and student aid administrator from San Diego have been pals for over 20 years and have auditioned for “The Amazing Race” since the long-running reality series’ third season. The superhero and gaming aficionados said they left their toys at home during the race.

“We’ve got really teeny backpacks,” said Hahler. “They are small. We wanted to make sure that there wasn’t anything to prevent us from putting that pack underneath the seat in front of us when we got on a plane. We didn’t want something to happen where we got delayed because of our luggage. We thought that would help us go faster.”

“We did extensive research on what to wear – what was lightweight and would help us move the fastest,” added Yturralde. “I think it was the longest I ever went without wearing a logo on my T-shirt. If you see me on the street, I’m usually wearing a Superman, Bizarro or Batman T-shirt on a constant basis, but we had to utilize more multi-use clothing for ‘The Amazing Race.’”

Married beekeepers Anita, 63, and Arthur Jones, 61, from Eugene, Ore., are the oldest – and perhaps most colorful – team on this season of “The Amazing Race.” Among the self-described hippies’ mottos: “Don’t worry, be hippie” and “The hokey pokey is what it’s all about.” Before the race, the Joneses worked out in hopes of keeping up with the other teams.

“We both tried to do some training, along the lines of going down to our little gym, but that was pretty much it,” said Anita. “We have an emerging farm, so we do a lot of work out there, splitting wood and taking care of the horses. We’re pretty physical, so we thought, ‘Hey, we can be in there with everybody else. It’ll be fun.’”

Ken Greene, a former St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Chargers defensive back, now 51, will race with estranged wife Tina.

Starting at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the 13th season of the Emmy-winning reality competition (premiering Sept. 28 at 8 p.m. EDT) will follow the teams as they travel over 30,000 miles in 23 days to countries such as Brazil, Bolivia, Russia, India and Kazakhstan. It’s the first time the series visited the landlocked country lampooned by Sacha Baron Cohen in “Borat.”

“We shot most of that episode in the capital,” said executive producer Bertram van Munster. “People were a little afraid we were going to pull a ‘Borat’ on them. I told them we weren’t doing ‘Borat,’ but what happened there is very, very funny. It’s not easy to shoot in places like that because they practically have no television industry.”

Van Munster, who is currently scouting locations in Asia for the 14th season, promised the 13th season will include a series of firsts for the reality competition, including a mistake that ultimately prohibited one team from joining their fellow racers at the finish line, as well as a memorable first-ever stop for “The Amazing Race” in Cambodia.

“The teams have no idea how to get from Point A to Point B there,” said van Munster. “They don’t know the language. It’s very difficult to get through this country. They get so stuck, but they find so many fascinating solutions of how to get through everything. One of the things the teams do there is go to a real-life floating village. It’s insane.”

America’s Got Talent Freak Show Take 2 – George the Giant

Written by: John

I previously posted what I still consider to be one of the biggest America’s Got Talent freaks yet: Ronnie B. However, the second day of America’s Got Talent’s semifinals had it’s very own freak show. His name is George the Giant and there’s something really wrong with this guy.

Take a look at this video of George the Giant’s Freak Show

I only give George credit for admitting he’s a freak show. Ronnie B still thinks he’s cool.

Check out more America’s Got Talent videos.
