Recap of ‘Glee’s ‘A House is Not a Home’ on DISH Network

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Let’s have a look at the latest episode of ‘Glee’. After the Madonna extravaganza of the last episode ‘Glee’ has come out drama-heavy this time! The last episode of ‘Glee’ on DISH Network has focused on Kurt and Mercedes. It of course focused on Finn too but in a context other than his own dating life!

Surely the main attraction of this episode of ‘Glee’ on DISH TV is the return of Kristin Chenoweth! She is back and she sings three songs on the show. Spotlight then shifts to Will and April. April confesses about her secret to Will. The scene of the two sharing the same bed but separately contemplating their individual loneliness is a great one!

The drama then rolls over Finn and Kurt. Both Finn and Kurt get upset while they come to know Kurt’s father is dating Finn’s mother. Finn feels horrified that his mother is moving on from his father’s memories. He feels impatient and it may be meant to be a tribute to Finn’s feelings when Kurt sings the song ‘A House is Not a Home’ at the rehearsal. Understandably Finn is himself inspired to sing the song.

Kurt confronts his father on his affair with Finn’s mother. He asks his father to appreciate how hard it would be for Kurt to watch his father bond with the son he’s always wanted to. Kurt’s father wants to smooth things over and questions him about his motives about Finn’ mother. The scene of Kurt tearfully dismisses his father’s motives is really heart wrenching. With all the new drama is on the making on ‘Glee’ you should catch this up on your DISH Network channel.

Watched the last episode of ‘Glee’? How do you like Kurt on the show this time? Let us know!

Celebrity Apprentice Shocker on DISH Network

Monday, April 26th, 2010

So, who went home last night on Celebrity Apprentice 2010 on DISH Network? Last night on the show the teams were to build a 24 hour fitness class. There were two goals before the teams last night. One was to raise a handsome fund and second was to get the reward of $24,000 for the best fitness class.

It was Holly Robinson Peete’s turn to work as Project Manager for her team ‘Tenacity’. Within seconds to spare she got a huge amount of donation from Ron Burkle. With this donation of $50000, the team managed to raise $200,000 in total. The amount is bigger than any non-finale task on the DISH TV show ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’.

For Rock Solid, it was Sharon Osbourne who performed the task of project manager. Good news for the Rock solid fans that they won the $24,000! They assured the prize money for taking the best fitness class. However, even with the handsome amount of $24,000 as prize money the Rock Solid managed to collect were only $100,000 for the challenge.

It makes the situation interesting on the show. Technically ‘Tenacity’ should win since they managed to raise more money than the ‘rock Solid’. But ‘Rock Solid’ is the 24 Hour Fitness pick of the show last night. So, what did Donald Trump do? Whom did he fire? Who went home on the show?

The biggest surprise was that nobody was fired last night on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’. All the money that Holly Robinson Peete’s team had raised would go to the charity. Even she has promised a handsome amount to Sharon Osbourne’s charity as well!

So, feeling relieved that none was sent home last night on the show? What’s your take on the show? Share your views with us.

Lost

Bad news for ‘Lost’ lovers! It seems as if the show is losing its momentum as it approaches the final batch of episodes. The next episode, episode 14 of the season, won’t be aired on April 27. You’ll have to wait a bit more to catch the new one! The episode 14 will be telecasted on May 4 on DISH TV.

You might be thinking what will be airing on that time slot? No, you guessed it wrong! It’s not being replaced by any major event like a Presidential address or an Olympic event! It will simply be replaced by episode 9 of the season. No doubt, episode 9 ‘Ab Aeterno’ is a good one to see but can’t it be as good as a new episode of the season? Surely not! Yet the viewers of DISH Network channel will have to wait for 2 weeks.

Actually ABC is all set to say goodbye to the show. The season 6 episode 15 will be aired on May 11, 2010. Likewise episode 16 will be telecasted on May 18 and the season finale will be aired on May 23. This will give the viewers of DISH TV to get the chance of viewing the show twice in two week. Paradoxically, for the most excited episode, the season finale, the viewers will have the shortest wait. However, ABC has taken time to say goodbye to this popular show. The season finale will be extended by a two-hour pre-show just before the season finale. The season finale will also be extended to a special two-hour show.

So, getting ready to say goodbye to ‘Lost’? Say goodbye to the show by sharing your thoughts on the show.

Intervention

Watched the reality show Intervention on DISH TV? It’s a show that is real and comes directly from the heart. The most powerful and gripping show follows the status of lows people reach by addiction and the lengths to which their families go to get back their dear ones to normal life.

Let’s take a look at the show. The show focuses on addicted people who are shown to be completely out of control. They are totally messed up in their lives. They are shown snorting, drinking and destroying themselves shamelessly in front of the camera. They are shown in such a desperate condition when their families feel if they do not get help they will simply die. The addicts think they are being filmed for documentaries and they do not have the slightest idea that an intervention process is planned. You can watch all these real life experience on DISH Network channel.

Friends and family of the addicted people then talk to an interventionist. They come to know what they need to do to bring back their dear ones to normal life. They are asked to talk to the addicts about the intervention. It is the most difficult situation to watch. But the families have no other option left than to talk to them. And finally the addicts are brought to a room for intervention. Being confronted sometimes they bolt; sometimes they cry and sometimes completely break down before finally agree to treatment.

Watching these desperate people pouring their hearts out is tough to see. However the program on DISH TV has also a very educative side, too.

Have you seen the show? What’s your saying on this show?
