IT CAME FROM THE MIND OF PITA OJEDA'S BELOVED
By Steve Baxley
A reason to live production

ITS FALL TV SEASON..Except in Mexico

>>Welcome all to our annual "lets rag on the networks fall TV shows preview" extra show! yayyyy!, now here's your host from Las vegas,"Vegas Slim"

Welcome kiddies to the annual fun fiesta that is FALL TV SEASON ANNOUNCEMENTS, or "Upfronts" as well call them here in hell..uh LAS VEGAS I mean. So which network is going to win viewers and which network will bite "the big wonton"

NBC NEW SHOWS
"FATHOM"-- Ever wonder what life would be like if a new form of sea life began to appear in locales all over the earth? In this expansive drama, those who are about to find out include some naval officers in the South Antarctic Sea, a family in San Diego, scientists from the Oceanographic Institute in Monterey, and fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico. The seemingly innocent creatures they find are beautiful and kids may even want to play with them -- but is there something more to them? One thing's for sure - they're full of surprises as viewers can embark on this unfathomable journey to discover what might be lurking in the sea. Lake Bell ("Boston Legal") stars as Daughtery Carstarphen, along with Jay R. Ferguson ("Judging Amy") as Richard Owen, Rade Serbedzija ("Snatch") as Dr. Aleksander Cirko, and Carter Jenkins ("CSI: NY") as Miles. "Fathom" is from NBC Universal Television Studio and was created by Josh and Jonas Pate ("Dragnet"), who also serve as executive producers.
Vegas Slim says: Think of this as "MAN FROM ATLANTIS with a touch of "V" and "SeaQuest DSV",MUST SEA TV???,can we trust the GORTONS Fisherman with THIS delivery?, a Fishy Requisittttte!
but we roll a 3 just for the halibut!

"INCONCEIVABLE" -- Come inside the world of the doctors of the Family Options Fertility Clinic in this ensemble drama, where one of the most complicated questions is to conceive -- or not to conceive. Assuredly, theirs is a noble quest as they help desperate couples give birth; however, clinic co-founders Dr. Malcolm Bower (Jonathan Cake, "Fallen") and Rachael Lew (Ming-Na, NBC's Emmy-winning "ER") and their staff, including psychologist Lydia Crawford (guest-starring Alfre Woodard, "Beauty Shop"), Nurse Patrice (Joelle Carter, "American Pie 2"), office manager Marrissa (Mary Catherine Garrison, "How to Deal") and attorney Scott (David Norona, "Mr. Sterling") are not above their own occasional adventures involving sex, deception and secrets. As viewers navigate through the ultrasound and super-egos, the missing frozen embryos and impending malpractice suits, it's positively clear that life inside this clinic is anything but sterile. "Inconceivable" is a Tollin-Robbins production in association with Touchstone Television. Mike Tollin ("Smallville"), Brian Robbins ("Smallville"), Joe Davola ("Smallville"), Oliver Goldstick ("Desperate Housewives") and Marco Pennette ("What I Like About You") serve as executive producers.
Vegas Slim Says: MUST CONCEIVE TV!!! or MUST SQUIRT IN A CUP TV!!! What a conception!!, pity its in need of a viagra boost (do I hear a tie-in) Inconceivable gets a roll of 4

"E-RING"-- Executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("CSI" franchise), Oscar-nominated director/producer Taylor Hackford ("Ray") and stars Benjamin Bratt ("Traffic," "Law & Order") and Dennis Hopper ("Easy Rider," "Speed") join forces in this pulsating drama set inside the nation's ultimate fortress: the Pentagon. It's a hub of highly explosive conflicts between American military heroes and the civilians to whom they report -- a world where crises can escalate into life-and-death climaxes, for individuals or entire nations. Viewers witness critical decisions by intelligence officers in the war room and the execution of these decisions by covert special ops on the battlefield. The number-one mission is survival of the state - an often-delicate balance between protecting the homeland and protecting either all of mankind or the life of a lone soldier. Jerry Bruckheimer Television in association with Warner Bros. Television produces "E-Ring." Thirty-time Emmy nominee Bruckheimer serves as executive producer along with Jonathan Littman ("The Amazing Race," "CSI: NY") and David McKenna ("S.W.A.T.," "Blow"). McKenna also wrote the pilot, which was directed by Hackford.
Vegas Slim Says: E-Ring-ding baby! another washington type show,who gets to play Donny Rumsfeld??
we roll a patroitic 6 stars anything from Bruckheimer is gold!

"MY NAME IS EARL" --Earl (Jason Lee, "Almost Famous," "Chasing Amy") has taken one too many wrong turns on the highway of life. A bully and a low-rent crook, Earl wins a lottery and after an epiphany, he is determined to turn his good fortune into a life-changing event as he sets out to right all the wrongs from his past. Despite his seemingly limited intelligence, he is oddly effective -- and ultimately, the comedy series, like Earl himself, has a voice and style all its own. Written and executive-produced by Greg Garcia ("Yes, Dear"), "Earl" also stars Jamie Pressly ("Not Another Teen Movie") as Earl's wife Joy, Ethan Suplee ("Cold Mountain") as his hapless brother, and Nadine Velazquez ("The Bold and the Beautiful") as a hotel maid whom the brothers befriend. "My Name Is Earl" is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television
Vegas Slim says: Hmmmm, someone is a dirty scumbag, then wins the lottery and has a change of life???
and its a comedy??? ok i'll bite, but I fear not many will like the bitter after taste it leaves.. we roll 7 on this one...as in episodes before NBC cans it.

"FOUR KINGS"-- Emmy Award winners David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, creators of the award-winning comedy "Will & Grace," present "Four Kings," an exploration of four lifelong friends on the cusp of adulthood: Barry (Seth Green, the "Austin Powers" franchise, "The Italian Job"), Bobby (Shane McRae, "One Life to Live"), Ben (Josh Cooke, "Committed") and Jason (Todd Grinnell, "The Dangling Conversation") couldn't imagine life without one another. Since childhood, these bosom buddies haven't spent so much as a birthday apart, but when Ben's grandmother, who dubbed them the "Four Kings of New York," passes away, Ben inherits her apartment and decides to share it with his lifelong friends. But despite the comfort of their posh new surroundings and efforts to cling to their youth, adulthood begins drawing these Four Kings knee-deep into situations that aren't always easy to escape in this honest exploration of life-term friendship. "Four Kings" is produced by KoMut Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television. David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are the creators and executive producers. James Burrows ("Will & Grace," "Friends") directed the pilot.
Vegas Silm Says: "Darling Stand...by meeeee, whooooaaaaa" STAND BY ME TV??? We roll ..oh god SNAKE EYES! this has no chance! but then again we've been wrong before

"THICK AND THIN"-- From multi Emmy-Award winning producer Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video Television comes this half-hour comedy about Mary (Jessica Capshaw, "The Practice"), a formerly fat woman who embarks on a new journey as a fit and newly single woman. That's easier said than done, however, when Mary's family and friends still see her as her former self. They include her overweight mother (multiple Emmy winner Sharon Gless, "Cagney and Lacey"), her overweight younger sister (newcomer Amy Halloran), her father (Martin Mull, "Roseanne"), and her weight-loss program buddy (Mel Rodriguez, "Panic Room"). But it is at the pool-and-spa company franchise she owns in suburban Florida that she finds her most unlikely confidant, her brother-in-law (Chris Parnell, NBC's "Saturday Night Live"), the company's "leotard-ed" spokesperson named "Captain Chlorine." When a cringe-worthy misstep lands her in bed with her ex, she realizes that getting thin was less about pleasing others -- and more about being comfortable in her own skin. Emmy Award winner Paula Pell ("Saturday Night Live") is the series' creator and writer of the pilot. The executive producers are Lorne Michaels (NBC's "Saturday Night Live") and JoAnn Alfano ("The Tracy Morgan Show"). Gail Mancuso ("Roseanne") directed the pilot. "Thick and Thin" is from by Broadway Video Television in association with NBC Universal Television Studio.
Vegas Slim Says: Its supposedly an all improv show, starring Sharon gless and Martin Mull, GagMe with no Pacyng... the roll is 6

OK kids, ABC is next....

IT CAME FROM THE MIND OF PITA'S BELOVED
By Steve Baxley
A Golden Goddess Production for Creative Sanity Inc.

Many things, and boy do I have a lot on my mind

>>THE FEUD BECOMES VERY DIRTY
>>FUCK AMERICAN IDOL,LA ACADEMIA ES MUY CALIENTE!!!
>>COREY CLARK'S REVENGE AGAINST SIMON FULLER (COWELL)
>>UK ELECTIONS, AND YOU THOUGHT THE BUSH RE-ELECTION DIVIDED A COUNTRY,CHECK OUT THE MAP OF ENGLAND AFTER THEIR ELECTION...

>>>>>THE BIG FEUD GETS REALLY NASTY<<<<<<<<
The big feud has now become VERY muddied and VERY Personal between Univision and its former parent..Televisa
Lets go back, before we go too forward..a timeline of you would on the history of Univision..as it was.

1961:SIN-The spanish international Network began operations, owned at that time by TELEVISA, the mexico city based entertainment/media conglomerate,programming was 80% produced by Televisa

1986:The FCC found SIN to be in violation of U.S. laws that forbid foreign ownership of U.S. based networks
Televisa had to divest itself of SIN and sold it to Kansas City Based Hallmark Cards, the network was renamed UNIVISION ,programming went from 80% televisa produced to a 50-50 precentage

1992: Hallmark,which purchased SIN using mainly junk bonds was unable to recover its intial investment
in the network and sold it to78 year old Italian born reclusive entertainment executive A. Jerold Perenchino and began
to dismantle the network by firing a third of the network's core employees and reduce the programming produced by Univision from 50% to 30% with the remaining 70% divvied up between Televisa and Venezuelan broadcaster Venevision,meanwhile ownership of the network would be split up between the networks and Perenchino, with Perenchino getting 50% PLUS something called "Supreme voting shares" while the other 50% was divided between Venevision and Televisa

2004:Perenchino names Univision executive Ray Rodriguez as new President and Cheif Operating Officer of the network Without asking Grupo Televisa president Emilio Azcarraga (a member of the board of directors of UNIVISION) for his input. Televisa gets the cold shoulder when asked when will it recieve payment for programs that air on Univision other networks (Univision,Galavision,Telefutura). Televisa bars ALL its talent from appearing on ANY Univision produced program and special.

2005:Feud boils over as reports leak of a possible takeover of Univision by the Azcarraga family run Grupo Televisa,who claims mismanagement by Perenchino and his group.

Which leads us to this weeks stunner, Grupo Televisa Chairman and president Emilio Azcarraga announces his resignation as Vice-Chair of UNIVISION ,and then on the eve of shareholders meeting ,delivers a big blow to Univision and files a lawsuit against Perenchino and his group on breach of contract and failure to pay program royalties to Televisa to the tune of $1.5 to $2 million dollars as well as altering Televisa produced programs without consent.

Some say that this is the begining of Televisa's attempt to start up TELEVISA INTERNATIONAL like their competition Mexico City's SECOND network TV AZTECA has done with AZTECA AMERICA,which has seen its profile upped more with a big deal with Satellite broadcaster Echostar's DISH NETWORK, and its ratings soar.

Stay Tuned..this is getting good


>>>>>>>>AMERICAN IDOL??? FEH!!! LA ACADEMIA IS MUY CALIENTE!<<<<<<
As Corey Clark continues to run from the fact that all his claims is just to ruin Paula Abdul's career as well as revenge against FOX and Simon (Fuller)Cowell's 19 Entertainment for reportedly ruining his career, comes this shocker..THE RATINGS ARE MORE HOTTER THAN EVER. But for me, I could freaking care less about that show, and why....?
There is a show on TV Azteca (seen on dish as AZTECA AMERICA) that makes American idol look more like THE GONG SHOW, its called LA ACADEMIA AZTECA, and its concept is FARRRR beyond that of American Idol, VERRRY FAR.

First,While American Idol DRAGGGGGGGGS it out for three days till the BIG MOMENT, LA ACADEMIA has a Sunday night 3 hour Concert THEN expells one person out of LA ACADEMIA

Second,Instead of 3 judges on Idol , we have four on La Academia,and NONE of them date the contestants NOR are they easy to please,at least these judges dress a bit stylish, a bit of biog on the 4 judges: Please note I used translator for the description

Arturo Lopez Gavito:professional who worked during 16 years in the industry of the entertainment. In 1987 it entered to WFM like information coordinator. In 1990 it initiated its record trajectory like product manager inWarner Music.The record seal Virgin in Mexico developed in 1992 and founds Josealong with Alvarez and Martín Hernandez the Radioactive station 98,5of which it gets to be manager.As general manager initiated the operation of MCA Music for theMexican market, disquera that it contracted Moenia and Molotov; in addition it consolidated the race of Pablo Milanes. In 1999 it was gotten up to EMI Music, company of which it gets to be chief of a main directorate, in 2003 Radio like director of the station Best FM and funge likerepresentative in Mexico of the Molotov group entered to MVS.

Ilse:A Singer and was part of a singing group

Lolita Cortes:Singer and Actress

Oscar Sarquiz:Entertainment executive

Now unlike American idol, La Academia has its own channel on the net AND on Cable/Satellite that is really cool a live 24/7 feed of what goes on inside La Academia, from the teachers to the rehersals,and everything in between , you get to see it on La Academia channel.
And its a classy and cool show, much better than ...YAWN American idol
And at least THEIR host isnt a bloated ego named Ryan Secreast..

>>>>COREY CLARK'S EVIL PLAN DISCOVERED<<<<<

Last time we met here was when we did a rant on our demented hosebag named Corey Clark over his now VERY much uncovered plot to sabotage not just American idol, but to ruin the career of Paula Abdul, well it seems that the latest claim of Pinnochio is that he can describe a very sensitive part of her body..BULLSHIT!Then he finally admits that he wants to do to Paula ,what the show done to him..ruin career.

Hey Corey...GET A DAMN LIFE!

>>>PERSONAL NOTE<<<<

When you feel something in your heart,and your head agrees, then you got to do what ever it takes to not only prove it ,but keep it from leaving you. Its like this, my dad once said that we all get only one shot at a good thing,and if we dont try damn hard to keep it,its lost forever.

I dont want to lose my lady, she is very special to my heart

IT CAME FROM THE MIND OF PITA OJEDA'S BELOVED
By Steve Baxley
A Golden Goddess production for Creative Sanity Inc

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

>>Well,King George II is in Russia, and visiting Vlad "the democratic impaler" Putin, And already the words are thick,with Vladdy saying to King George II "mind your own democracy" the one question I have is WHAT DEMOCRACY???

>>To date,since his re-election,King George II has:
->let gas prices go up to $3 a gallon
->Allowed our Debt to go up to $500 trillion
->made sure free speech is now punnishable by millions of dollars
->The death toll in Iraq is now reaching 2,500
->has now made nature his next target for drilling

>>Meanwhile the gansta-mayor of "debt-town" whose continual dance around the truth when asked about the
problems in "Debt-town" could make him a canadate for Soul Train Dancer,made damn sure his promise of "meet the debt-town media day" otherwise known as "the monday press confrence" ,guess what kids, for the SECOND WEEK in a row..the mayor busted a move out of town, leaving his con-stit-u-ents to wonder "what the hell is going on", meanwhile the city continues to spiral in the toilet,with a massive debt, huge layoffs are expected, especially in the police and fire departments (except for hizhonnors 21 man security guards) and its
over 200 days till the nation and the world visit for SUPER BOWL XL.. and you thought Jacksonville,Florida was a problem.. WHOOOOOO BOY!!!!

>>As for creativity in the media, well since King George II decided that free speech,much like the rest of the consitution is toilet paper, I'm seriously thinking maybe looking elsewhere for something that wont waste the
creativity.

>>And if you think we got problems, Friday our friends from across the pond re elected Tony Blair as PM of england,BUT unlike the US presidency,Mr. Blair's next term will be mainly a conservative parlement,seems that his own party lost some key seats to conservatives... should be a great time in London.

>>Lets Save our Country, next year we MUST deliver our OWN message to King George II, just like the people in England delivered a message to Tony Blair, "You have been FUCKED!" lets give both house and senate our own EXTREME MAKEOVER!!!

>>Politics ...YAWN!

>> My love life is pretty good, I now realize deep down that Pita IS the one for my heart!, no other woman has made me feel so loved,so creative,and every night I think of her an dyou should see this smile ....cause It never will leave.


Later Skates!

IT CAME FROM THE MIND OF PITA'S DREAM GUY
By Steve Baxley
A Golden Goddess Production

........Factor This!

>>Subject 1: CORRRRRR-EY CORRRRRR-EY WE DO'NT BELIEEEEVE YOU!
You can tell its the may Sweeps by the way the networks and local stations are getting the sleaze and tease ready, proof of that..the infamous "AMERICAN IDOL SCANDAL" The "Corey Clark infomercial" masked as a "PRIME TIME LIVE expose" on abc television aired wednesday night to suprizingly high ratings,at first I kinda started to believe that there was something to his story.

BUT after I heard the alledged audio tape of the supposed phone call,Something didnt jibe well, then in my mind I heard it again, and I could faintly hear a distinct "audio bump" like the tape was spliced,and to my ears, it was.
I began to see just what was going on, when FOX and Simon Cowell's 19 Entertainment along with FremantleMEDIA had requested him to help them with more details of this alledged affair between him and Abdul,Clark on a couple of morning shows said to the effect he wont help them, that they (FOX and 19 Entertainment) screwed him for the past two years why would he help them?

To make that statement turned on the red light as far as I'm concerned, that this was not a man to be trusted NOR believed,and that indeed this was Corey Clark's way of getting back at not only Abdul,BUT the producers of American Idol who kicked him off the show when he didnt come clean on a criminal record including abuse.

Could this lead to the end of a career comeback for the former Laker Girl who became a overnight success
The investigation continues,but with the denial of help from a man, who has in my opinion by his own words
perjured himself,that alone should clear Paula Abdul of all charges

Paula,In my opinion is being used by a disgruntled contestant who thought he was "the golden boy" of American Idol, but was instead revealed as a desperate and deceitful man who used someones name for
his own benefit,and now wants to distroy her career because he thought he could be a star.

To Corey Clark, your scam has been uncovered,and by your own words,you have impailed yourself on your own lie.


>>Subject 2: THE CIRCUS THAT IS MICHEAL JACKSON'S TRIAL
Can this continue to get more bizarre??, and you wonder why we arent talking about it, BECAUSE WHO GIVES A SHIT!!!
Micheal needs to get a HARD reality check!


>>More Later
