My head is so full of what I like to consider “great ideas.” I jot these ideas down and keep an “ideas”-tagged notebook in Evernote that’s overflowing. It’s gotten to the point that, with so many ideas and so little time (and money) to put them into play, I get stressed just looking at that notebook. Because I’m interested in what people think of new ideas, I used to be somewhat of a fan of the short-lived ABC reality show American Inventor. I didn’t care about the drama behind anything going on, nor did I really care who won. What I did like, though, was seeing what professionals and titans of innovation thought of these ideas presented to them. What I didn’t like about American Inventor was that I really did not like most of the judges, in particular Doug Hall.

Oh my, so much to clack about week, everything from Ricky Martin’s gayness to the absurdity of The Pellicano Girls. Take a look, and clack to me in the comments below.

I don’t get 30 Rock. I might be run out of the cyber playground for this, but I just don’t get 30 Rock. I haven’t watched the entire series or anything, but the few episodes I’ve seen just don’t seem that funny. The kids and I were watching the Christmas episode this week, and we looked at each other half-way through and said, “This just doesn’t seem that funny. What’s all the fuss about?” So, I ask you, dear Clackers, what’s all the fuss about? And I LIKE Tina Fey (Alec Baldwin, not so much)! I just don’t like her in this series, at least not what I’ve seen. It’s really bumming me out.

The Pellicano girls get a reality show. Well, maybe. The Pellicano Girls is being pitched to the networks in the coming weeks. It follows Kat Pellicano and her three daughters as they figure out how to live large while the family patriarch, Anthony Pellicano, rots in jail. He was found guilty of racketeering and conspiracy earlier this year; he’ll be sentenced on Dec. 15. The show, which follows the girls’ attempts to run a private investigation company, is being called a mix of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Charlie’s Angels, with Anthony in the Charlie role. Is this for real? Does this seem the least bit ironic to you? He’ll be in jail! And, apparently, that’s a great way to get a reality show. Hulk Hogan was working on one for his incarcerated son, Nick. I’m sure Blake Fielder-Civil is next.
