Legends that played Evil Grandmas


Those who watched "That 70's Show," "Brothers & Sisters" or "Gilmore Girls" remember the evil mean grandmas. Well the grandma is played by the same woman! Yes, Eric Forman's grandmother Bernice Forman, Lorelai's grandmother Lorelai 'Trix' Gilmore, family member Marilyn, and Ida Holden were played by Marion Ross. Bernice was mean to Eric's mom Kitty, Trix was mean to Lorelai's mother, and Ida Holden is mean to pretty much everybody---and there is a character in "Brothers & Sisters" named Kitty too!

Marion Ross was the sweet mother arion Cunningham on "Happy Days," she has been on many many shows. She will be 81 in October! Marion Ross seems to be the go-to old mean lady.


Cloris Leachman played the evil grandmother Ida on "Malcolm in the Middle." She has played other mean old ladies lately but not really recurring roles (like for example, she played Mr. Shefield's old nanny in one episode of "The Nanny"). She is 83.

Cloris Leachman is best known as Phyllis of "The Mary Tyler Show" and "Phyllis." She has won eight Primetime Emmy Awards—more than any other female performer—and one Daytime Emmy Award. She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in the 1971 film The Last Picture Show.

Project Runway Season Six Episode Six quick review

Sorry Nicholas, I didn't like your outfit. That outfit was boring and was no ice queen, I have seen better ice queens. The bottom two should have not been Ra'mon vs. Louise, it should have been Louise vs. Gordana, also Gordana should have been voted out. She is not creative at all. I am shocked Ra'mon was voted out, he has so much promise. I understand Louise crying too, I don't think she expected that and was shocked. One thing I won't miss is Ra'mon's pauses between what he says.

Pole Dance Teacher for girls

This might be old news for some people, but earlier this month, it was revealed this doll was going to be in the market---Peaches, who is to teach little girls how to pole dance. The reason people are blaming Miley Cyrus is because she danced on a pole in a recent performance. This is appalling and inappropriate.

News Media Scaring Parents

This morning, a teenage student was stabbed at Coral Gables Senior High School and died, the stabber was in custody, still considered a suspect. Identities have not been released as of yet. It is an ongoing investigation. But, what bothers me is the usual media saturation. WPLG 10, who I respected, interviewed an underage student on his cell phone---and I believe they got no permission from the school or his parents. And they were talking to a woman on the phone WHILE she was driving. Isn't that illegal? These people are irresponsible. Also, these 'reporters' act surprised when the parents panicked and went to the school and often said they were nervous. YOU MADE THEM NERVOUS with all your breaking news. When the police and superintendent clearly said not to go and pick up the kids because the school was on lock down.

"The Troop" Nick TV Review


Nickelodeon had a preview of "The Troop," a new sci-fi show about three teenage freshmen that fight monsters. It reminds me of Nickelodeon shows from the 90's. The special effects are like any children's live-action TV show and doesn't supply anything new in the dynamics of teenagers, just the same cliches. The one show that comes to mind that supply some new takes was Disclassified Ned's guide to something, whatever it was called and Lizzie Mcguire. It has some interesting takes and nice casting, the kids are talented, they don't take spaces before breathing, which is common in kids' shows.
