What are President Obama’s Favorite Shows?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Drama, Kids, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Entourage, Gossip,
Could President Obama’s secret love of HBO have anything to do with the channel’s inaugural coverage?
Thanks to his highly-publicized selections before the NCAA tournament, the country already knows that our POTUS likes to watch a little basketball. But what other programs does he like to follow when he has some free time?
Although he referenced Simon Cowell during his recent appearance on Jay Leno, American Idol apparently doesn’t rank at the top of Obama’s must watch list. According to Politico, the President has a preference for two shows coincidentally on the same pay channel.
“We would talk about Entourage all the time,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs revealed. “I remember one time I e-mailed him because [a] call was scheduled for the last 15 minutes of Entourage and I said, ‘Just be late and we can just watch Entourage and still get on and do the call,’” Gibbs added. (On a side note: Jeremy Piven’s character is based on Ari Emanuel, the Chief of Staff’s real-life brother.)

Seinfeld Cast to Reunite on HBO
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, HBO,
Over twenty years after being placed behind bars, the cast of Seinfeld will be free to commit selfish acts once again.
It’s just been announced that Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards will all be reuniting for several episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. What - or who - could bring all four actors together at once? Curb‘s star/creator Larry David - the co-creator and executive producer of Seinfeld.
Although the NBC vets have all individually appeared on the HBO program already, the upcoming multi-episode arc will be the first time they have appeared together for TV since their 1998 finale.
The seventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is expected to return sometime next fall.

(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 2/9)
NOTE: A President Obama press conference will interfere with the previously scheduled programming.
- The Secret Life of the American Teenager (ABC Family, 8pm): “Ben and Amy’s relationship hits a rough patch when Ben tells her he needs some space.” The pressure of buying a Valentine’s Day gift was just too much for him.
- One Way Out (Discovery, 9pm): “The host braves a high-speed barrage of tennis balls and steep plunges into kiddie pools before becoming the projectile in a human catapult.” Idiotic stunts have just become more financially appealing.
- The Girls of Hedsor Hall (MTV, 9pm): Series premiere. “In the opener, 12 rude and crude bad girls from the U.S. enroll in a British finishing school for a chance to transform their lives and win a $100,000 trust.” The goal? To become the next Amy Winehouse or Lily Allen.
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “Horatio believes that prominent defense attorney (Sean Combs) is involved in the cover-up of a murder.” Diddy doesn’t cover-up murders. That’s what his personal assistants are for.
