Conveyor Belt of Love Preview
Written by: JohnThere’s a new show on ABC.com called Conveyor Belt of Love. Basically, a bunch of guys come out on a conveyor belt and 5 ladies choose if they’re interested or not. If 2 of the ladies choose one guy, then the guy gets to choose who they want to date. This show is all about casting the right people to entertain us, but this preview of Conveyor Belt of Love is pretty entertaining stuff.

Shark Tank – Venture Capitalists Eating Up Entrepreneurs
Written by: JohnI must admit that I absolutely adore Shark Tank. It’s quickly become one of my very favorite shows on television. I probably still like Amazing Race more and I’m pretty fond of the various dance shows as well. I just love everything about Shark Tank.
The biggest problem I have is time, or I would write a lot more about the various entrepreneurs pitching to the investors. Since I don’t have time, everyone that loves the show like me will enjoy this blog appropriately called “In the Shark Tank.”
That was actually the original name of the show before they changed the name to just Shark Tank.
Sure, there’s a little bit of bravado involved with the investors having the cameras there, but they really do want to invest in these companies with their own money. So, it is really exciting to watch. Plus, there are so many different ideas and people on the show that it’s just a fun cross section of what’s out there in America. No need to go further than this writeup of the 7th episode of Shark Tank. This show is fantastic. I hope that everyone watches it and that ABC renews it for a long time to come.

In the Shark Tank Premiere
Written by: JohnI must admit that this show is right up my alley. I’ve always had a fascination with entrepreneurship and I admit that my RSS feed reader is full of venture capitalists, angel investors and entrepreneurs. I think I have that entrepreneur itch that will never end. So, you can imagine how excited I was to see “In The Shark Tank” premiere on ABC.
Seriously, I don’t think those guys were acting too much for the camera. It was how they really feel. The 2 tech guys were the most entertaining and it makes sense why since they understand the realities of the tech industry. It’s just like they described it to the entrepreneurs who were pitching.
I wish that they actually provided more counsel and advice to the entrepreneurs, but they have to keep the show interesting for everyone that’s watching. So, I guess it makes sense the way they cut it.
The only thing I didn’t like about In The Shark Tank was that the hour went by so quick. I’ll be very interested to watch this show each week.

Will Izzie (Katherine Heigl) Die On Tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy
Written by: JohnI asked those who are following the Pure TV Network on Twitter “Will Izzie die tonight on Grey’s Anatomy?”
I got a bunch of responses to whether Izzie will die on tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy finale. Check out people’s opinions on Katherine Heigl’s possible death:

My answer to “Is it wrong to *hope* so?” was “Since it’s TV, no. If it weren’t TV, then yes. So, hope away.”
After my responses, I also got these 2 interesting replies about Izzie’s death on Grey’s Anatomy and my opinion:

I can’t wait to enjoy 2 hours of pure Grey’s with my wife. What better birthday gift could I give her?

The Visitor – Music and Richard Jenkins’ Oscar Nomination
Written by: JohnThe Oscars are upon us. I must admit that I’m not a very big fan of all these awards shows. There are far too many and now they are just all mixed together. I never really remember which one is which. However, they have become amazing TV productions that are fun to watch. I especially enjoy flipping to these shows during commercials for other shows, but I digress.
I recently was sent an email talking about the Oscar nomination for actor in a leading role of Richard Jenkins. Richard Jenkins really was fantastic in The Visitor and I’m glad to see he was nominated for an Oscar. I’m not sure he’s going to win, but the show was fantastic and Richard Jenkins did a wonderful job portraying the character.
Of course, the best part of The Visitor was actually the music. Check out the music from The Visitor and you’ll see what I mean:

Mark Burnett Brings The Shark Tank Coming to ABC
Written by: JohnMark Burnett is jumping into the Shark Tank. Burnett has signed a deal with Sony Pictures Television to bring the wildly successful Dragons Den to the American market. Think American Inventor meets American Idol (auditions). The US version will be titled The Shark Tank, ABC has ordered the show and they are currently in production. Check out this website dedicated to The Shark Tank for more information.

Dirty Sexy Money Premiere
Written by: JohnTonight was the premiere of Dirty Sexy Money. This is a crazy show with little intricacies that really show how well written it is. Unfortunately, if you don’t watch carefully you’ll miss a lot of the connections they’re making. It’s not a show that you can really watch casually. This show also really makes you wonder about what is going on with rich people in the world. It begs the question: how much (if any) of this is true and real.
Here’s a good video of Dirty Sexy Money actors on the red carpet talking about this season of the show:
Tonight’s episode was pretty good, but I think a bunch of it is just setting stuff up for the future. The cool part of the show is that nothing is unreal in this show. They could make up almost anything and have it seem feasible. Quite interesting.

Jason Mesnick To Be The Next Bachelor Come January 2009
Written by: JohnET online reported the following:
ET breaks the news that Jason Mesnick, 32, will be the next star of “The Bachelor” coming to ABC in January 2009.
Female fans crumbled after he dropped to one knee, proposed marriage and got turned down on the season finale of the latest installment of ABC’s “The Bachelorette.” But now he’ll have another shot at finding true love!
Mesnick, the single dad and Seattle-based account executive, will have another shot at finding love while dating 25 hopeful contestants.
Mesnick is a sports enthusiast who is looking for women with a passion for life.
This is an interesting piece of news since Jason Mesnick was so sad to be away from his son. I wonder if the Bachelor will allow him to bring his son with him to stay with him at night and just have a nanny watch the kid while he goes on his dates. Seems reasonable to me.
It should be interesting to see if Jason Mesnick has the appeal of other bachelors. He’s such a soft spoken guy that will have to see if Jason as Bachelor will make good television or not.
