Ramsay vs Irvine

Recently The Food Network started airing a new show called Resturant Impossibele with Robert Irvine has the host. Irive best known for his other simalarly named show on the Food Network Dinner Impossibele. Irvine gos in to failing or stuggeling resturants and with a 10k budget and the "help" of a designer try to help the place get back on its feet. Unfortunatly for Irvine and Food Network the show is Just a cheap knock of of Gordon Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares on the Fox network Where Ramsay gos in to help stuggeling/failing resturants get back on there feet . Minus the 10k budget and designer Im sure behind the seens there is a budget and perhaps a designer but you hear no mention of that on the show. Ramseys show is much better produced and is just a better show. So to put it in the words of the Chairman from Iron Chef Chef Irvine Chef Ramsay the judges have decided and the winner is CHEF Ramsay!

LIVE! with Regis & Kelly

LIVE! with Regis & Kelly: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Say it An't so Regis

Regis Philbin announced he will be retiring from his daytime talk show at the end off this season today.

New York (CNN) -- After more than 40 years in television, Regis Philbin is retiring from the small screen.

Philbin, 79, made the announcement Tuesday at the start of the long-running "Live with Regis & Kelly."

"This will be my last year on this show ... but there is a time, there is a time that everything needs to come to an end for certain people on camera, especially certain old people," Philbin said.

The show, now in its 23rd season in national syndication, began as a local morning show in New York in 1983.

Kathie Lee Gifford joined Philbin in 1985 on the show and it debuted three years later nationally as "Live with Regis & Kathie Lee."

Gifford left the show in 2000 and Philbin was joined by current co-host Kelly Ripa in 2001.

A choked-up Ripa said Tuesday after Philbin's announcement, "I think I can only speak for America and all of us here when I say that it has been a pleasure and a privilege and a dream come true, and I wish I could do something to make you change your mind."

No indication was given as to who may co-host with Ripa following Philbin's departure at the end of the year.

"It will never be the same, there's only one Reg," said Gifford, who now hosts the fourth hour of NBC's "Today" following her 15-year gig on "Live."

Philbin has been plagued in recent years by health issues, including undergoing triple-bypass surgery in 2007 and a hip replacement in 2009.

In 2001, he was awarded Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Game Show Host for "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and Outstanding Talk Show Host for "Live."

Philbin got his start in show business as a page for "The Tonight Show," before hosting his own self-titled show out of San Diego from 1961-1965.

He served as Joey Bishop's sidekick on "The Joey Bishop Show" and took "A.M. Los Angeles" from low ratings to No. 1 in its local market -- perhaps a preview to his success on daytime TV with "Live."

Philbin was inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2006 and was given the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008.

"He's an amazing guy," Gifford said Tuesday of her former co-host. "He is every man to so many people and nobody tells a story like Reg."

"He's going to be 80 this coming August and I think he just figures it's time," she added.

Philbin and his wife, Joy, have been married for 40 years.

LIVE! with Regis & Kelly

I have always enjoyed watching Live every morning and Regis has been a part of my mornings for a good portion of my life. Hearing him chat about the night before and he always would make you laugh Regis say its not so you will be missed enjoy your retirement.

DWTS to SWTS

So tonight are the finals of Dancing with the Stars. Its been a very interesting some may say controversial season. The Hoff was the first one to go everyone was surprised bye that. Just went back to what you hear every season no one is ever safe be sure to vote. You had the "Situation" who definitely had a situation he couldn't dance especially in week one when he only had a few days practice compared to weeks for the rest of the cast. You had your token athletes Rick Foxx from NBA fame and Kurt Warner from NFL fame. Athletes usually do well on this show and this year kept that tradition alive. Mom Brady Florance Henderson who has been a big fan of the show from day one got her turn on the ballroom floor and seemed to enjoy each and every week. They tried some new things this year that well hopefully they will never do again but at least one of them I think they will because the judges were giddy with excitement over it and the crowd reacted well in studio. Even tho watching I found it boring. So hopefully no more round raised stage and no more find out the song you dance to that night. Well after last weeks semi where Brandy was out ( witch I know was shocking to alot of folks) Its down to the final 3 Bristol "The Pistol" Jennifer "A dancing icon" and Kyle " Mr Entertainment" Who will win we will see should be fun. Then after DWTS tonight comes Skating with the stars Skating rely I dont know ABC might be pushing it with this one

Classic TV Memories

how many of you remember some of the classic TV shows used to watch when you were a kid. Well thanks to Netflix I was able to enjoy one of those shows last evening. Growing up I wanted to be a doctor so I enjoy the medical programs. One of my favorites was emergency. You remember, John and Roy Dr. Brackett, Dixie. And of course rampart hospital. This show is the reason many say they got into emergency medicine. It introduced us to the paramedic.

In this episode from season one, called hang-up we even get a glimpse of another classic Adam-12 won a call comes in, to go rescue a whiny burglar caught in an air-conditioning ducts. ( some things never change do they we still see the occasional story on the news of stupid criminals getting trapped in chimneys and the like) Anyway this call causes them to miss at the end of a nail-biting episode leads been captured by the bad guy. What will McCoy do next. This weighs heavily on John's mind, and soon Roy's to throughout the episode, wondering what could have happened. Meanwhile back at the hospital. Dr. Brackett has to treat a surfer who ruins his cast. After hitting the waves and Dixie becomes a little stressed about people abusing the system.

This is definitely one of my favorite shows for the past. And I can watch it over and over and over again. Do you have one of those shows that you enjoyed like that? who knows maybe someday they'll make emergency into a movie. Just like they did Starsky and Hutch or another one of my favorites get smart. In the meantime, I'll just sit back and enjoy another episode. Oh yeah, and by the way, our heroes John and Roy wind up saving a man trapped in a radiation hot room while getting exposed to the radiation themselves and wind up in the hospital. Putting their well-being of the line to rescue this man. Much like many firemen and policemen paramedics and first aid squad members do in your community,every day, remembered as a thank you once awhile.

Did our heroes ever find out what happened at the end of that nail-biting episode of Adam-12? Well you all are just to have to watch the episode to find out and see if you enjoy this show as much as I do
