New Unit: TV

1. Three showes you like:
- Desperate House Wives
- Gossip Girl
- Top Chef

2. Why You like thoughs shows:

I like the show Desperate House Wives because it is a made up comedy involving rich mothers, there kids, and there life situations, the polt of their lives are funny, and can sometimes be touching and sad.

I like the show Gossip Girl because i enjoy seeing the new stuff they get into and I look forward to watching it every week, just to keep up with there drama and life. Its enjoyable to relax and watch something that is like your life.

I like the show Top Chef because i love good healthy food, i work at benmiller inn and see amazing food all the time being made and my family has traveled all over the counrty and i have had the opportunity to try so many diffrent typs of food. I love to try new food and see how food is made and what goes into making it. When i watch these shows I get an intrest in the food they are making and get ideas for what to try next, and to learn new thing about food.

3. Three shows you do not like:
- Dance-Off Pants-Off
- Dancing With The Stars
- Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader

4. Why you dont like thoughs TV shows:

I do not like the show Dance-Off Dance-Off because it is pointless, imbarasing to the person danceing and a waist of air time. There are more things to be on tv than some random person who just wants on tv dancing and stripping.

I do not like the show Dancing With The Stars becuase it is very showy, and sparkly, and is only about already famous people try to be even more famous by being on a show trying to be a ball room dancer. And they wear very showy outfits that dont cover enough up. It gets to the point where its just like its the same dance every week just hoochier outfit and a diffrent person who is already famous. So You Think You Can Dance is a good show but i dont enjoy Dancing With The stars, like whos the star? the famous dancer, or the alradys famous actor or nba player? And the judes better not get payed all they do it hold up a sing that says 9 on it ... oh and the music on it is pathetic ( watch it you will laugh, it sounds like a game show in the 80's)

I do not like the show Are You Smarter That A 5th Grader, because the kids tey have on that show are probly the smartest kids in the province and when there not on the show they learn the answers. And it makes people look dumb infront of our nation, like why would you do that to your self and let be aired?
and the host is on drugs because he is just all over the place.

5. How many hours a week do you spend waching tv?
In one week i watch about 3-4 hours of tv. Half an hour watching Desperate House Wives, another half hour watching Gossip Girl and about on hour a week watching the tyra show and almost an hour a week watching top chef, or an show on the food network.

#10. Penniman was flying from Melbourne to appear in front of 40,000 fans in concert in Sydney. Shocked by the red hot appearance of the engines against the night sky, he envisioned angels holding up the plane. Then, while he performed at the stadium, he was shaken by the sight of a ball of fire that he watched streak across the sky overhead. He took what was actually the Russian satellite Sputnik as another sign to quit show business and follow God. The following day he departed Sydney on a ferry and threw his $8,000 ring in the water to show his band members that he was serious about quitting. The plane that he was originally scheduled to fly back home on ended up crashing in the Pacific Ocean, which he took as confirmation that he was doing what God wanted him to do

LL Cool J ( Ladies Love Cool James )

LL Cool J 70's Music Performer



- Releasing his first single "I Can't Live Without My Radio" in 1985 when he was just 17 years old.

- LL Cool J (given name: James T. Smith) was probably the best looking of the early/mid 80s rappers, and he's exploited his sex appeal to the max (his stage name stands for "Ladies Love Cool James"). But there's a lot more to LL than that; he's got an incredible voice that moves from a powerful roar to a gentle bedside croon - he has more emotional range than any other rapper I've heard, when he chooses to use it. Unfortunately, most of his later albums have been recorded on auto-pilot, so tread carefully. (DBW)

- LL Cool J initially was a hard-hitting, street-wise B-Boy with spare beats and ballistic rhymes.

- Upon his album release, Radio received generally positive reviews and praise from "street and dance music" aficionados and mainstream music critics, including Robert Christgau of the Village Voice who described it in a January 1986 article as "the most engaging and original rap album of the year".


- With the breakthrough success of his hit single "I Need Beat" and the Radio LP, LL Cool J became one of the first hip-hop acts to achieve mainstream success along with Kurtis Blow and Run D.M.C..


- James Todd Smith (born January 14, 1968 in Queens, New York), better known as LL Cool J (Ladies Love Cool James), is a Grammy Award winning American rapper and actor signed to Def Jam. He has released twelve studio albums over his 27 year career, has starred in numerous feature films and currently plays Agent Sam Hanna on the hit show NCIS: Los Angeles.


- Born in Bay Shore, New York, and raised between St. Albans, New York and Hollis, New York in the borough of Queens. The only child of Ondrea (née Griffith) and James Smith, Jr. Smith is of both African American and Native American descent. He spent his youth singing in the church choir, participating in the Boy Scouts and delivering newspapers.

 - Def Jam released his first record, the 12” single “I Need a Beat” in 1983. The single sold over 100,000 copies. The success of “I Need a Beat” helped lead to a distribution deal with Def Jam and Columbia Records in 1985. Soon after, he dropped out of Andrew Jackson High School to record his debut album.
