Last night, I watched The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty on A and E. I have to say I was saddened by how many times Michael Jackson was mentioned. I mean to me it seems like the preise of the show was them doing a Jackson 5 project and that shifted to being all about Michael Jackson’s passing. I was surprised that Katherine Jackson went to Tito’s concert. I would have thought that she would be with Michael’s kids- Paris Jackson, Blanket Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson since it had only been less than a month when they went to Wembley. I was surprised to read that Rebbie Jackson and Marlon Jackson are still married to their spouses. We do not see Marlon’s wife but he and Tito are my favorite Jacksons. I think Jermaine’s wife is very beautiful. I am surprised that Joe Jackson has yet to appear on the show. Janet Jackson was on the show via a cell phone speakerphone call on her birthday.I loved Tito’s concert. I think Tito was hurt that Jermaine stayed in Mumbai but his mother and other brothers made an appearance which was nice. I really like that Marlon is doing a project in Nigeria, it is nice to preserve your roots and help bring jobs to Lagos, Nigeria. I think the Jacksons: A Family Dynasty is an interesting reality tv show so far.

Last night, the season finale of Table for 12 aired on TLC. The show focused on the 10 children having their first day of school. The fix 5 year olds were going to kindergarden, the older twins to eighth grade and the younger twins to middle school. Eric and Betty took the kids school shopping. Tara had a melt down and got to go with Betty and go shopping while Eric took the kids including Rebecca Hayes to get supplies.The kids were happy to go to school, but Connor had to come home early because he got sick on the bus to school. I really like this family and hope they return for another season of the show.

This week on the newest episode of the Little Couple, Jen surprised Bill for his 35th birthday. She took him to Dallas,rented a large hotel room, got him a couples massage and for the piece de resistance, he got to go to Texas Motor Speedway and go to race car driving school. You could tell that Bill seemed very surprised and pleased by the gift. You can tell that Jen really put a lot of thought behind it. I hope that Bill had a great birthday, he looked like he had an amazing day!

Last night, the season finale of 18 Kids and Counting aired. It seems like the Duggars might be taking a break from filming since the premature birth of baby 19, Josie Duggar. I mean with a premature baby,there needs to be a lot of attention to Josie, not to filming a reality show. This episode allowed the Duggars to go for helicopter rides because the crew was trying to get some aerial shots. The Duggars also got to go to a hockey game and Jim Bob and Michelle got to ride on the zamboni. The show has changed the Duggars, they dress modestly but you can tell their wardrobes have improved. The children are also more outgoing and go on many more trips than before. I hope Josie Duggar thrives and we see her next season!

This week on the newest episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Khloe had to go to anger management because she slapped Scott. Kim Kardashian also went with her to the group session and role played why Khloe has so animosity towards Kourtney Kardashian’s boyfriend/baby daddy Scott Disick. It was revealed that Khloe feels even though she is married to Lamar Odom, that she feels like Scott is taking Kourtney away from her. Kris Jenner was slipping male enhancement pills in her husband Bruce Jenner’s daily coffee. Robert Kardashian ended up taking one accidentally in a cup of coffee and he had to go to the doctor after calling Scott about the problem. Bruce was annoyed after finding this out at the doctor’s office. I would be annoyed too, slipping any pill especially mixing it with caffeine can be dangerous. Kris should not have done that. It is good that Khloe, Kourtney, and Scott made amends with each other.

Kendra Here Comes Baby Special was on e! last night. I have to say I really enjoyed the special. Kendra and Hank seem like such a nice couple. Hank is a NFL player who has moved three times this year. It would be hard on a pregnant person but Kendra handled it well. Kendra really seems close to her mom Patti and I loved it when her grandmother Mary showed up to join the family in Indianapolis. She braved an airplane because it meant so much for her to be there when baby Hank was born. Congrats to Kendra and Hank on their new little addition, Baby Hank.

This week on Fox I watched the Gordon Ramsay’s Cook Along Live. I have to say I loved it. I love chef Gordon Ramsay, I even watch him on BBC America. I liked how he put together simple dishes that people can make. Even Whoopi Goldberg and her daughter Alex participated via skype. Alyson Hanigan, Cedric the Entertainer, and LeAnn Rimes also each got to make a dish. I know if must have been hard for him not to swear but I loved the cooking show and hope he will do more specials like this in the future.

On the newest episode of 18 Kids and Counting the Duggars were still visiting the Bates in TN. I have to say Kelly is a very patient woman, it must be nerve racking to feed more than 50 people at a time and having them come and go all day long. I’d go insane if I were her. I’d really like to see a Bates family reality show. I think they are a sweet family. I do not know if the Duggars will be filming a new season soon due to Josie Duggar being in the NICU due to being born  4 months premature. I think the Bates is a great family. Zach and Michaela are on the rescue squad and Nathan Bates is a jr. firefighter. It really shows how dedicated they are to their family and their community.

This week on the newest episode of the Little Couple, we saw Bill and Jen go house hunting. One issue with getting a custom home that was overlooked is what if for some reason they need to sell that home down the road? I mean a custom home like that will only cater to little people and will be hard to sell in the future. I did like the custom things the builder said he could make, but it seemed like maybe he was playing to the camera a little bit. I think getting a new house and then renovating it would be better. It saves time and money and you can pay for it as you go. I think they should just get an one story house, it would be much easier on their legs especially if they have a baby in the future. I feel for Bill in this episode you could see he kinda got the short end of the stick.

I read a few minutes ago that Kourtney Kardashian just had her baby boy. His name is Mason Dash Disick. The name is pretty cute. Last night I watched the one hour season premiere of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. This episode focused on Kim’s fallout from the break up with Reggie Bush, Khloe house hunting, and everyone hating on Kourtney’s baby daddy Scott Disick. One thing that was weird is Khloe’s baby voice with Lamar. It is a little off putting. I liked Bruce’s speech to Kim in the car about how athletes at the age of 24 like Reggie need to be focused and selfish to focus on their careers. I think Kris was right that Scott needs to have a job but Bruce was right that Kourtney needs to make him be more motivated. I thought the sonogram/ family moment was sweet. The charades part with Khloe doing the dead beat dad one was a little rude. Also Khloe getting drunk and hitting Scott near Kourtney made me cringe. I mean the girl was 9 months pregnant at the time.The season looks action filled. Congrats to Kourtney and Scott on their new bundle of joy!
