Speaking of new TV Shows...

You may not remember this, but not counting PBS, there used to be only three main networks -- ABC, NBC, and CBS.  Those networks had kind of a set schedule season for TV shows.  New series premiered in the fall (always with a splashy fall preview show) and then the summer was filled with re-runs and other stuff.  TV was pretty lame back in the day.

Then came MTV and other cable networks.  TV got better!

And then, FOX came on the free TV scene and things totally changed.  There were more choices.  And then, FOX and other new networks, cable and free, started to premiere their own series when they wanted. 

Now, many years later, we get to see new shows almost year-round...

Bravo always seems to be cooking up great new reality shows (and franchises of successful shows) and of course AMC has MadMen and other great shows coming and going. 

But here's what I'm really excited about -- MTV is going to have a werewolf show!

Teen Wolf premieres this Sunday, June 5th.  It looks like a pretty serious werewolf drama -- nothing like the Michael J. Fox comedy from the 1980s.

Tyler Posey is the star.... he's super cute, even with his moonlight eyes.


Are you guys going to watch it, too? 
If not, what other new shows are you going crazy for?





Ahooooooh!

Choose your own unhuman boyfriend!

Who says you have to be human to be a hottie? Undead eye candy can be just as appealing as the real stuff plus they come with some extras. These are some of my personal favs.


1) Vamps. If you can get past those pesky, razor-sharp incisors that he keeps sinking into your neck, he's an awesome b/f. No worries about this guy letting himself go since he is eternally-youthful. He's easy on the grocery bill and will never stand you up as long as you go out after dark. One downfall, eventually you will be replaced as you will die and he will not. Here are a few of my favorite vamps.

Kiefer should totally work this look into 24!

Henry Fitzroy from Lifetime's Blood Ties based on the books from Tanya Huff.







Steph to Henry: "Bite me, please!"

2) Werewolves: If you choose the werewolf you'll be getting an animal for a boyfriend! One thing is for certain, you'll never have to worry about him using your razor. While he's cuddly and fun to pet, this guy will be on the prowl every full moon unless you put him in a cage.

Okay, so Jack's a bit old, but he's a vintage hottie! And while I prefer Michael J a little more clean shaven, he is still an adorable werewolf.

3) Back hair not your thing? What about a magic man? He's awesome to have around if you want to cast a spell on an evil co-worker but if you make this guy mad, he's might to turn you into a frog.








Harry "beefcake" Potter & the adorable Steven Strait from The Covenant.









None of the above doing it for you yet? Okay, I've got the perfect guy for you.

4) Ghosts: He isn't vain since he can't see his reflection in a mirror, he has plenty of time to hang out (at least until he sees the light), and you don't have to worry about him cheating on you since he doesn't actually have a body. The only problem is convincing other people he's real.

Patrick Swayze convincing millions of women to look into pottery making classes.


Clueless Bruce. Dude, you're dead.






Okay, so we wouldn't want to run into any of these guys in a dark alley or anything, it's still amazing how books and movies can make even the meanest, blood-sucking, rip-your-heart-out-and-eat-it dudes hot! So who would you choose? And don't even say Edward Cullen from Twilight because he's all mine!
