Are You Ready For Some TV!!!

First day of Fall is approaching us. Fall signals the start of the TV season for 2015-2016 . So, what will OUTSPOKEN_DIVA start out watching this time. I don't have many changes to my schedule. I do have a lot of reading spots in the schedule. Maybe, I can get some of those free Kindle books I downloaded some time ago read. If I'm not reading then I will be viewing a web show. Oh guess what? My favorite web show, Roomie Lover Friend is on BET at 10pm on Wednesday. I told you guys, the Revolution will Not be televised, it will be on the web, probably on YouTube.

Sunday will be a reading & web show day with one TV break to watch, Last Man on Earth. It's a cult classic on Fox. If you watch it, you know by now Phil/Tandy now has company. Actually he has left "civilization" with Carol to live on their own. What shenanigans will these two get into? I feel like the other Phil even though he is played by Boris Kodjo is fake. Will the others feel this way also.

Monday, I have Big Bang Theory & Jane the Virgin on CBS & CW. We already know for commercials that Leonard & Penny are supposed to get married. I have a theory that once the married man moves out, Stuart will become Sheldon's roommate. Howard wants to put Stuart out, the comic book store is up and running & Sheldon needs a roommate. I'll give Amy & Sheldon until Christmas to continue to be broken up. As for Jane, we will see her navigate life as a single mother. Raphael will take care of his child but I don't see them getting back together this season. Raphael has hotel issues to deal with. I feel like Michael will be around to date her this season until the baby Jane had with Raphael get in the way. The perils of being a new mother with keep Jane a Virgin. So, no need to worry if Jane will remain one.

I already blogged about one of the shows I will watch on Tuesdays. You can read about The Muppets, HERE. Oh and to the reader that sent me an email about The Muppets being puppets and I need to grow up, go play your little video games & Lego sets and leave me to my Muppets. Sorry, about that but cowards love sending mean emails. 

I also have Fresh Off the Boat & Marvel's Agents of Shield.  Fresh Off the Boat lets me relive my younger life. I never remembered that the 90's were so politically incorrect. But there were and I love reliving that time period through the Huangs. I know I have been trying to quit Agents of Shield since half way through the 1st season. This last season was pretty good with them adding the Inhumans, I have to at least start this season.

Morris Chestnut is in a New show called Rosewood. I'm going to start my Wednesday with him playing a private pathologist, where he is highly in demand with law enforcement in Miami, Florida. Actually ABC vs Fox battle for my time between 8-9pm. Wednesday. Empire live and Blackish later on OnDemand.

One or the other needs to be moved up an hour earlier. Blackish to 7:30 or Empire to 7:00
I don't want to dodge spoilers this season.
‪#‎Blackish‬ ~vs~ ‪#‎Empire‬

Last year ABC won because I started with The Middle so, I continue and watched Blackish instead of Empire. I watched Empire later on OnDemand. This year, Fox wins.

Like Tuesdays,  ABC totally wins my Thursday. I will be in Shondaland riding Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, & How to Get Away With Murder screaming TGIT.

Let me say it one time this season, I am a True fan of any show I watch and Grey's Anatomy is No exceptions. I don't give up on a show just because a certain character dies or leaves. With that said, Meredith Grey said in the promo commercial, everything has change and change we will get. My only hope is that  Dr. Miranda Bailey becomes the Chief of Surgery. You guys know by now I am Team Fixer. I could care less or Fitz or Jake. As long as Olivia Pope is doing her job as a crisis manager, I am happy. And I've read that I will be happy many times during this season of Scandal. I've also read and heard that we will find out who murdered Rebecca in the first episode of How to Get Away With Murder. I also want to know who did she text about bringing some eggs to the Keating home. Oh and to see my TGIT eye candy Nate. Free Nate! Free Nate!! Free Nate!!! Oh and Congratulations, to Viola Davis for the Emmy win for her role as Annalise Keating!!!

The Amazing Race on CBS is my type of "reality" show and I watch it on Fridays. My mom and I talk about if we were Racers every week. And yes, I am a Black person with a degree and I am a fan of Tyler Perry's comedies. Not a fan of his dramas but I watch his comedy shows, For Better or Worse & Love Thy Neighbor on OWN on Fridays.

After that, I am catching up on The Middle & Blackish on ABC OnDemand. Sue Heck reminds me of my niece, Alura and Frankie Heck has to based on my mother. And Blackish is my life. I relate to the show.

Saturdays, I call a thing a thing and that is watching Iyanla, Fix My Life on OWN. While she is fixing other people's life, she gives me affirmations to help fix mine also. I know I having messy spots like everyone else and even if the topic doesn't relate to me, I still learn things from that topic. After that I watch Being on Centric and Unsung on TVOne OnDemand. I like learning about celebrities that are or were not big pop culture trends. Plus, I like singing along with the music. Oh Unsung keeps in the "way back machine".

So, that is what I will be watching so far. I live-tweet the following:
Last Man on Earth
Jane the Virgin
The Muppets
Fresh Off the Boat 
Marvel's Agents of Shield
Empire (sometimes)
All of TGIT
The Amazing Race
Iyanla, Fix My Life (sometimes)
You can find me on Twitter @OUTSPOKEN_DIVA, just let me know you read this post in a DM so I will know. Alright, here's to Great TV season!!!

As Always, Talking to You in Adult Terms.

Who is Ready for The Muppets? Me!!!

If you know me offline or follow me on social media, you know I Love the Muppets. As a kid, I would watch The Muppet Show reruns and crack up.

I always felt like Jim Henson was giving me a sneak peak into adult conversations. Something about what the Muppets talked about didn't sound the same as what She-Ra or Kids Incorporated had topics on. I've watched all the movies, even the newer ones over and over. The Muppets Take Manhattan is my all-time favorite Muppet movie. At one point "He'll Make Me Happy"(Hear it Here) was going to the bridal march song at my wedding. My mother says she won't be shocked if I change my mind and she hears Muppet voices at my wedding. LoL

So, when they announce that the Muppets will be coming back to the small screen, I got excited. Yes, it will be in "reality" show format. So, it will be as real as the others in the genre (Yes, I sniggled writing that) with it showing the behind the scenes of the lives of these beloved characters. I have strange feeling Gonzo will slowly steal the show. Just the stuff I see in the promo commercial, he seems to be very snarky in confessionals. He might end up throwing enough deadpan shade to match Rowlf the Dog.

Yes, Miss. Piggy is my favorite. As a chubby little girl, who actually liked getting dressed up, I look to Piggy as a fashion icon. There weren't a lot of plus size stylish women shown on my TV screen as a kid. It's sad but a muppet was blazing a trail for plus size fashion back then. Miss. Piggy is still stylish even after all these years. Oh am I upset that Kermit and she broke up? Heck No!!!

I've never liked Misss. Piggy and Kermit dating. Kermit was very insulting to Misss. Piggy over the years. In the video above, you see their worst fights. I'm not saying I condone or agree with Piggy slapping him but Kermit was wrong for provoking her. And it amazes me that Kermit can fake marry Piggy in a movie but Never marry her in real life. Piggy deserved better than "Forever Girlfriend" status. But that is okay, both have moved on. Piggy can do so much better than the frog.

I also love Scooter & Janice. I hope ABC knows that Scooter is not being shown in commercials..

He's the stage manager. Yeah, I know they say gofer but I like stage manager better. "Reality" shows need stage managers.(I sniggled again) Who is going to keep order while Kermit is off being the star. Scooter better be on the show or my live-tweet will be demanding his appearance or a reason for his absence.

Now Janice is who basically told me that the Muppets were not the same as Sesame Street puppets (I think they are their older cousins). She unintentionally revealing her attitudes towards nudity is what clued me into the idea that Muppets weren’t really for children . In The Great Muppet Caper, she's interrupted while explaining a readiness to walk along the beach naked to her mother, while in The Muppets Take Manhattan, she declares that she wouldn’t pose naked, "even if it is artistic." And I love her for it

On Tuesday night, I'll be live-tweeting The Muppets. You can follow me on Twitter (if you don't already) at https://twitter.com/OUTSPOKEN_DIVA. Just let me know that this post sent you there. I have a nasty habit of blocking people that I don't think should follow me. Yes, I know I have a public profile, Shut Up!!! I think the show should be fun.

I hope they break out a rousing tune of  "Mahna Mahna" in one of the episodes. I rock that song like it played on a pop cultured trending radio station. Oh if you ever feel the need to get me a gift, The Muppet Character Encyclopedia would be nice. *hint, hint* *wink, wink*

So, who is going to watch The Muppets? Who is your favorite Muppet? Comment below.

As Always, Talking to You in Adult Terms (Yes, I see the irony.)
