Mat Kearney's Third Album, Young Love, - Review

I like a variety of music genres, and this new album by Mat Kearney is one that I do enjoy. His style and singing voice is really nice. I appreciate good music, and the first song, "Hey Mama" is a hit with me. It's one of those songs that gets stuck in my head,, and I go around my house humming the tune. I'm always in the market for new music, so this is a real treat for me. I enjoy both the upbeat and the more mellow songs that he offers.

Clorox is sharing quick clean-up tips on how to keep fashionable winter whites white, keep flowers fresh longer and host a Hollywood-style party. And with Valentine's Day just around the corner, a girl can use some help. Tips like…

* Nothing says “I love you” like roses. Want to enjoy those flowers longer than a celebrity romance? Just add ¼ teaspoon of Clorox^® Regular-Bleach to each quart of cold water you put in the vase. 

* Got a stain from a heart-shaped chocolate on your favorite whites? It’ll come out in a snap once you add ¾ cup Clorox^® Regular-Bleach to the hot water and detergent in your washing machine.

To get more tips from Clorox^® Regular-Bleach and extend the Valentine’s Day romance, readers can enter the Get the Dirt, but Keep it Clean sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip for 2 Hollywood, CA! To enter and view official rules, visit www.Clorox.com/GetTheDirt.

Review Of CMT's New Sitcom "Working Class" Premiering 1/28/11

WORKING CLASS focuses on Carli Mitchell (Melissa Peterman), a single mom from a rough and tumble background, trying to give her kids a better life by moving them to an upscale suburb. She quickly finds that making the transition to “the good life” is harder than she thought! She's unwittingly befriended by her cranky neighbor, Hank (Ed Asner), her only “career” prospect is a glorified deli job at the local grocery store, and the man she falls for not only already has a girlfriend – but he’s also her boss, Rob (Patrick Fabian). With her ladies-man brother, Nick (Steve Kazee), to help her out (when he’s not acting like one of the kids himself), Carli faces the challenges of parenting, dating, and making friends in her new community by doing more with less, staying true to herself, and approaching each day with a touch of working class.

 
WORKING CLASS premieres January 28 at 8:00 p.m., ET/PT on CMT.


Premiere Episode: “The Buddy System”  
Carli’s old flame from high school shows up hoping to re-ignite his “spark” with Carli — even if it means humiliating her in front of her new boss. 


My review: This show is hilarious, and so is Melissa Peterman. Do you remember Melissa in Reba, as Barbara Jean? If you thought Melissa was funny in Reba - then you'll love Working Class!  I've also been a fan of Ed Asner for as long as I can remember, and he adds that special touch to this show that none other could do. I feel this show is going to be a keeper! You gotta see it, really. You can check out Working Class on CMT, and connect with Working Class on Facebook where you can watch a sneak peak of the show. 

The complete cast includes:
• Melissa Peterman – “Carli Mitchell”
• Ed Asner – “Hank Greziak,” Carli’s neighbor.
• Steve Kazee – “Nick Garrett,” Carli’s brother.
• Patrick Fabian – “Rob Parker,” Carli’s boss and love interest.
• Lachlan Buchahan – “Scott Mitchell,” Carli’s eldest son.
• Courtney Merritt – “Pam Mitchell,” Carli’s daughter.
• Cameron Castaneda – “Will Mitchell,” Carli’s youngest son.
The show will also feature multiple guest stars throughout the season, including recently-announced Reba, whose on-screen reunion with Melissa Peterman will air in February. Additional guest stars include David Faustino (“Married with Children” and Not Another B Movie); Kathy Kinney (“The Drew Carey Show” and “The Secret Life of the American Teenager”); Martin Mull (“Roseanne” and “’Til Death”); John Schneider (“The Dukes of Hazzard”).

The One2One Network provided a free preview of the show for the purposes of this review. I received no monetary compensation, although I will be entered for a chance to win a CMT prize pack and gift card! The folks over at One2One are really sweet, and CMT is one of my favorite networks!
