Last Episode of 'All My Children' To Air September 23

Still ain't happy about this, but for you folks that will need to DVR it, the last episode to conclude a 41 year history making run for the ABC soap opera All My Children will be September 23.


Yep, the soap that has been on the air since 1970 and was an iconic part of many people's lives has been canceled and will be replaced with a cooking talk show called The Chew.

Yecch.  Screw The Chew.

But before All My Children leaves us forever and its time slot gets replaced with that abominable cooking talk show, we AMC fans will get the treat of seeing former cast members such as Eva LaRue, Carol Burnett, Jennifer Bassey, and Melissa Claire Egan just to point out a few blasts from the past make appearances in addition to others who have yet to be announced. 

The network is also promising that the final shows will wrap up storylines and celebrate the AMC families like the Martins, Chandlers, Brents, Hubbards, Montgomerys, Colbys and Courtlandts that we've gotten to know, love and sometimes loathe over the years.

And oh yes, we can't forget Pine Valley's biggest diva, Erica Kane.

Keith's Countdown Coming Back June 20

The man the conservafools love to hate, Keith Olbermann, is about to come back on the air to their disgust, and it's about damned time. .

The clock is ticking toward the June 20 air date and return to the cable television airwaves of Keith Olbermann's Countdown. It'll be broadcasting on Current TV, the network cofounded by Joel Hyatt and former President Al Gore starting on that date, and cannot wait until Keith starts tearing into the conservafools on a regular basis. 

And no, that President Gore is not a typo.   Al Gore won the 2000 election and it is our country's and the world's loss that he didn't get to occupy the Oval Office instead of that village idiot that was all hat and no cattle.

But back to the post.   I like Cenk Uguyr, watch Lawrence O'Donnell, love Ed Schultz and my girl Dr. Rachel Maddow, but like 'errbody' else have missed Keith tellin it like it T-I-S is at 7 PM CT.

And Joel Hyatt agrees. “Countdown With Keith Olbermann will showcase the return to television of one of America’s most gifted thinkers and communicators,” he said. “Keith will be back, speaking truth to power and calling them as he sees them -- but this time, on America’s only independent news and information TV network.” 

And like all of us political junkies, those of us who take serious our obligation to be informed citizens of the United States and are concerned about what's going on in our country and around the world, I can't wait.

Katey Red On Treme

I've been getting hooked on HBO's drama Treme, which is set in post Katrina New Orleans.

Season 2 action is set ten months after Hurricane Katrina blew through town and has been pretty interesting in terms of following the various characters in the series in addition to associating them with the real life people woven into the story.

This week's episode is entitled 'Does Santa Claus Get the Blues?' and in addition to seeing Christmas post Katrina New Orleans style, one of the real life people that was woven into this episode was sissy bounce rapper Katey Red.

I understand she appeared in a Season one episode and was just following along with the action when I saw the recording studio scene and an artist texting on her cell phone in it as the producers are imploring her to start rapping.

As they panned in had an OMG moment when I realized it was her.




See, told y'all we Black transwomen can do anything we set our minds to. 

Hmm...definitely staying tuned to Treme.
