Introducing the TV Chit Chat Forums

December 9th 2008 21:08

I’ve been thinking about this for a really long time, and have finally decided to try it out. That’s right, I’ve created my own forums dedicated to all of my favorite shows. No more running around to half a dozen sites all over the net trying to remember logins and passwords for every different forum. Whoohoo!


The main forum is HERE but for those of you interested in only one show, here's a quick link to each of the seperate message boards with the others collapsed for easier viewing.

Supernatural

Bones

Chuck

Grey's Anatomy

Heroes

House M.D.

Lost


Moonlight

Hope to see you there!

NOTE: For those of you interested in just an X-files forum, see this post HERE to learn about Paula's new site!

Only eight days until this year's Emmy Awards on ABC. I'm not really sure how I feel about them going the "reality way" (Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst, and Ryan Seacrest as hosts? Really? Hmmm…) But it's one of those things that could go either way, brilliant or a bomb, and I'm going to hope for the best...


Here's the updated list of presenters:

•'Desperate Housewives' -- Marcia Cross, Dana Delany, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria Parker and Nicollette Sheridan -- presenting together
•Hugh Laurie and Julia Louis-Dreyfus
•Tina Fey & Amy Poehler presenting together
•America Ferrera
•Laurence Fishburne & William Petersen presenting together
•Jennifer Love Hewitt
•Hayden Panettiere
•Vanessa Williams
•Kristin Chenoweth & Neil Patrick Harris presenting together
•Kathy Griffin & Don Rickles presenting together
•Conan O'Brien
•Christian Slater
•Kate Walsh
•Christina Applegate
•David Boreanaz
•Wayne Brady
•Lauren Conrad
•Kiefer Sutherland

Also, Josh Groban will be there to perform television’s greatest theme songs live!
From abc.com:
Josh Groban, who recorded last year's No. 1-selling CD, will perform a once in a lifetime medley of more than 25 of television's most memorable themes on The 60th Primetime Emmy® Awards, airing live, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on ABC.

"In honor of the Emmy Awards' 60th Anniversary, Josh's medley will touch on some of television's most resonant theme songs -- including from Friends, The Simpsons, The Brady Bunch and many more -- the actual full list of show titles is being kept a secret until the show. This will truly be an unforgettable performance," said Executive Producer Ken Ehrlich.

Aaaaand…Don’t forget to keep voting for your “most memorable moments” in both comedy and drama. See who made it to the second round and vote HEREfor drama and HERE for comedy! To see a list of the nominees go HERE.

I can’t believe it, but as of yesterday, it’s been a year since I took over the blogging of TV Chit Chat, and what a year it’s been! Aside from the (dare utter it?) Writers’ Strike and lack of awards shows, there were some definite quotable quotes, *GASP!* moments, and great new shows actually worth watching. And so, in honor of this season, I thought it only appropriate to recap the year in the form of…*ahem* original parody of a popular song

Okay, the past two weeks have been super busy around here, so I’m doing something a little different for a while…okay maybe just until next week, but there were so many *GASP! * moments in TV the past two weeks, that I couldn’t wait until my official full-length recaps to talk to you guys
