TV best bets with ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ finale, return of ‘Supernanny’

For many of you, Thursday will be a sad day. But for others, it’s a thrill because the second season of  ”The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ finale airs. Then again, there are two weeks of reunion episodes to come.

Atlanta is also the home to an MTV slasher film “My Super Psycho Sweet 16″ which airs Friday but doesn’t actually mention Atlanta (though you see the skyline at the end.)

And Jo Frost starts season six with a family out of Cleveland, Ga.

The most notable new series is USA Network’s “White Collar,” where a “Catch Me If You Can” type of criminal teams up with the FBI to solve cases. (Tiffani Thiessen is the biggest name). It debuts Friday.

As a gay man, I’m really enjoying The Good Wife. I really think they need more gay characters on television though. I do watch How I Met Your Mother but only to support NPH.You left Glee off of your list, one of the greatest new shows out there. Ya, c’mon!

discoer Rodney?!?! We’ve talked about your writing and clearly you have not taken the advice that I gave you. I am going to stop reading this mess.

I’m going to miss Real Housewives Of Atlanta. In the same way I’ve missed it every week it’s been on.

I wish that you would promote Glee, that is on Wednesday night @ 9pm on Fox. It is the best show on TV right now. If people are sick of pseudo-reality shows, like me, this is a great alternative. All of the talent of DWTS, SYTYCD, and AI, with the comedy of 30 Rock. Great, great show.

Rodney everything you put in this article has already been published. Super Nanny like her show but she is on a ABC no need to announce that all the other stations are doing a great job of it. You need to get down and find some good stuff to keep us interested at this rate honey you might be on the unemployment line. We need the “The Buzz” we are not getting that Atlanta is a big vivacious city with a lot going on. Just because things are out sight doesn’t necessarily mean they are out of mind. Robin Williams was here this week heard he was hilarious love the man, what did he do? where did he eat? where did he hang out? we kknow he has been recently divorced was anyone with him? Seen TP around what’s he been up to? Hey how about Atlanta’s own Usher Raymond what’s up with his divorce heard it was put on hold why? Last but not least with the last episode of RHOA about to air why don’t you try and find out if they will get more episodes for next year, will there be a change perhaps. Keep it real keep it interesting get on your job…”Smooches”

Create a reality show that is real;not some made up classless act of women that claim to be real but clearly they are not real nor do they represent the ATL. HoLLA!

Final episode, but the memory will never die thanks to Rodney Ho and his lame attempt at journalism. Rodney, McDonald’s called, they want their fry cook back.

Best Bet? Come on Ho, even you know this show is garbage. Sherees fashion show? Does she have a lot of clothes with stripes because she has a lot of experience in striped jumpsuits. This woman has a record as long as my arm – true story. Nene/Kim choking incident? Kim has been doing plenty of choking all right to get those bills paid. She works in the oldest proffesion in the world for women. She’s a “working girl.” NeNe chokes on her own words usually making a fool of herself or writing some trashy book that the bottom of the barrel buy. The other ones are no better than these people.

Warning guys – I feel sorry for that Greg guy because he is a perfect example of what can happen if you take the “exotic dancers” home with you after visiting one of these establishments. As soon as NeNe got her hooks into that guy it was bye bye to dancing for dollars and having old men slobber all over them. Kim was also in the buisness to and her name was “Barbie.” That is probably where she met her babies daddy whoever he is.

Hello Ladies!

In the absence of “people like yourselves” (women) lol! you all make it easy for an African American male to go on. Though no one validates me of who i am but God and with the help of his righteous pastors. I think that you are all beautiful and that i wish all of you the best! Finding no takiness in the things that i write. May God bless all of you with the HOLY GHOST. My name is Rocklette Pulliam of 39 years from Louisville ky. roc4usa@yahoo.com.

Trash. Low-lifes. Worst of the worst. The “Real Housewives” of Duluth, because that is where most of them live, are a total embarrasment to our city. 2 former strippers(NeNe and Kim), 1 convict(Sheree), and 1 idiot(Lisa). Kim might be the worst of all of them. Here is a woman who is a proud adulter and she has no shame as long as her bills are paid and she has plenty of spending money for hair. Ballon Boy’s parents need to be investigated and this woman needs to be investigated too. She is not a suitable parent to raise two little girls with her adultery and her antics. Social Services needs to be called today. Even the people at the Reality awards were making fun of her and her song, Tardy for the Party. One star said he was Overdue for the Flu mocking that farce of a song.

YACMON-why do we really need more gays on TV? Bravo has that covered.
Super Nanny finds a family in N. Ga so she won’t be attacked in down town Atlanta. I wish they would stop the TV Evangelists from controlling the airwaves on sunday morning. I’d rather watch info mercials than those charlatons!

Let’s see… Sunday mornings are usually intended for religious services and/or activities. You (war eagle) say you would “rather watch infomercial than those charlatons.” Well, for the record, plenty of those “informercials” come on late Saturday night. For the rest of us religious folk who either decide to stay home or can’t make it to church on Sunday, the pleasure of seeing Joel, Joyce, Kenneth, Jentezen, or R. Schuller works perfectly!
