The Glades - Review


I love summer time, as that is when we are at the pool almost every single day.
What I do not like about the summer is that ALL shows go to rerun mode...
Or just leave the air completely.

Marc and I were just talking about how all of our shows are pretty much over for the season..
So now what?

Lucky for me...
I heard several people mention how they watched a TV show called "The Glades."
I hated that people were going on and on about how good it was, yet I had never seen it!
What was I missing?!

Then, I actually had the opportunity to review it.
And review it, I did!
Marc and I watched one of the episodes.
We caught ourselves laughing at Jim and how he acted at times..
At that point, we knew...
We were really enjoying this show!
Then, we immediately watched another episode.

I called to ask my mom if she had ever seen the show, she had not, but wanted to see it.
Of course, I told her that as soon as I was finished watching, she would have to watch it...
The second season starts June 5Th...
I needed to be ready to go!

I watched all of them in the span of a few days...
It was just that good!

Want me to tell you about it?
Well...
Okay!

You see, long story short...
Jim moved to Florida from Chicago...
His work partner is the Medical Examiner, Carlos...
Now, Jim is the main character, but quite honestly...
Carlos cracks me up and just might be my favorite!

The one thing that does slightly bother me is that it has its "only on TV" moments...
As in, Callie..
Jim meets her and immediately they have a connection...
Which in turn leads to Jim telling her everything about every case he works...
Real life, I don't think so...
Isn't there something about confidentiality?!

Oh, and Callie's son..
He just sort of goes missing for about 5 episodes...
Not sure where he is, but he returns as quickly as he left!

Other than that..
I am ready for June 5Th..
(As is Marc, we just discussed it again today!)
June 5Th is the second season.
I am glad we were able to watch Season One and be caught up..
BUT, it really isn't one that you have to see every episode to know what is going on.
It is a great show, not a soap opera!

Now we have not watched the "extra's" on the DVD, yet..
But they have plenty of them!!!!
Order your copy now...
It ships June 14th!!!!
Let me know... Are you a fan of THE GLADES?

Description from the A & E site:
THE GLADES stars Australian actor Matt Passmore as Jim Longworth, an attractive, brilliant, yet hard to get along with homicide detective from Chicago who is forced into exile after being wrongfully accused of sleeping with his former captain’s wife. Longworth relocates to the sleepy, middle-of-nowhere town of Palm Glade, Florida, where the sunshine and golf are plentiful and crime is seemingly at a minimum. But this town outside the Florida Everglades isn’t quite as idyllic as he thought, as he finds people keep turning up murdered. Each case pulls Longworth off the golf course and reluctantly into his element as one of the sharpest homicide detectives in the field.

THE GLADES Season 1 DVD is loaded with exclusive special features including unaired deleted scenes, gag reel, behind-the-scenes footage, featurettes, director and cast commentaries.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
