'Triumph' the insult dog's best moment from 'Conan'

CONAN on TBS. "Triumph" the insult dog heads to Chicago's "Weiner's Circle" where the owners insult the customers. The food is rated "the best" too. 

It was a free-for-all and after watching this. You have to realize that a grown black woman is arguing with a dog puppet. It gets vulgar pretty fast and I think "Triumph" won. Check it out because I laughed so hard...,

Native fashion designs at "New Mexico State Fair" 2017

Albuquerque, NM. The Indian Village at the New Mexico State Fair 2017. Native-Indigenous fashion designers, Aric Chopito (Zuni Pueblo) and Penny Singer (Dine'-Navajo). The fashion show was Friday Sept. 15, 2017 and I attended with my camera. I missed it last year and made it a point to get there this year. I was not disappointed with the show, nor with the state fair.

I made a short video below. Traditional and Modern Designs. Enjoy.

"Diavolo" (acrobat group) Judge's Vote.

'America's Got Talent' 2017 none of my favorites made it to the 'Final'

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. The 2nd semi-final was tops in my book and it came down to America's vote. All of my votes went to my favorite, "Merrick Hanna." I felt it wasn't his best, but he was good who made it this far. None of my favorites got to the "Final" this year 2017. 

I liked 9-year-old, "Celine Tam" who has a beautiful voice. She didn't receive enough votes to make it to the final. I also liked, "Light Balance" and especially, "Colin Cloud" who stepped up his game -- big time. He lost in the "Dunkin' Save" votes and the judges didn't choose him to head toward the final...,

Stephen King's 'IT' scares up Box Office with a whopping $123 million

Well, critics expected "IT" to make at least $100 million over this last weekend. But, it exceeded all those expectations and broke records for an R-rated Horror Flick. "IT" nabbed an estimated $123 million at North American theaters. It also opened at the Foreign box office and grabbed $62 million. 

It certainly was the most anticipated horror movie by film audiences in at least 5 years. When the teaser trailer landed. It became a sensation. Stephen King wrote the novel, "IT" and even he praised the movie.

Horror fans even dressed as clowns to screen the movie which rattled some audiences. (I saw, "IT" and I must say that it stayed real close to the novel. There were some good scares in the theater seats too. I'd liked to see it again.).

'America's Got Talent' 2017 The 1st semi-final sends '5 Talent Acts' to final

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. America has voted and the first semi-final round has sent 5 talent acts to the final.

"Preacher Lawson" (comedian) / Darci Lynne (ventriliquest) / "Sarah & Hero" (dog acrobat).

"Evie Clair" (singer) "Dunkin' Save" vote.

"Chase Goehring" (singer) "Judges Pick"

'America's Got Talent' 2017 The 1st semi-final loves Darci Lynne

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. Well, the semi-finals brought some tough competition. Fans have been complaining that there were too many singers in 2017. Most of them didn't receive enough "votes" to head toward the "final." Mike Yung, Johnny Manuel, Great Works-Gospel Choir and Yoli Mayor were all sent home on Wednesday night. America has voted..., 

I was pulling for Johnny Manuel. In my opinion, he should've stuck with the female artist songs. Judges, Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell told him to stick with that. He didn't and sung an original song and it disappointed. It was good, but win AGT 2017 first and then perform your own work later. Johnny had a good run, but didn't get enough votes.

All of my votes went to the talent act that astounded me. This is the semi-finals and Darci Lynne (young ventriloquist) was great, funny and entertaining. She's got talent and just might win it all. She was voted onto the Final..., 

Next Week is the 2nd Semi-Finals. It is also the battle of the two 9-year-old girl singers and my favorite, Merrick Hanna.

'Elementary' Sadly, won't return until mid-TV season 2018

ELEMENTARY on CBS. This TV show survived a risky move from Thursdays to Sundays last year 2016. It made room for "Rush Hour" that was cancelled because of bad TV ratings. "Elementary" was pre-empted by professional games and award shows in 2017 while airing on Sunday nights at 10/9 p.m. Now, fans have to wait for the 6th TV season to begin in 2018. 

A new TV show called, "Wisdom of the Crowd" will air on Sunday nights this Fall at 8/7 p.m. It bumps "NCIS: Los Angeles" to 9/8 p.m. "Madame Secretary" moves to 10/9 p.m. "Elementary" is now off the schedule because of another new show. (Rats!).

I am not happy about this at all.
