I want to start this blog with a little homage to Patrick Swayze. I know a lot has been written and said since his death Monday afternoon. I will just add this, Point Break, Roadhouse... thanks Patrick.
I wasn't sure how the TVGuide.com blog thing would work, but I love that you can leave your comments below. I agree with those of you that love Jon Cryer and, yes, the duck man will always live on. Jon really is a great guy, and you might be surprised to find that he's a pretty darn good athlete. I did the Malibu Triathlon with him last year, and he whipped my butt.
As for the few of you that took the time to say you don't enjoy red carpet shows, I say this to you...

First of all, I want to say that I am very excited to be hosting this year's Emmy Awards red carpet on TV Guide Network! I can't wait to talk to the stars from this year's hottest shows. So far, I have been spending a lot of time getting ready for the Emmys, so here is my 10-item checklist of things I need to do before the big day. For those of you watching at home — it isn't easy getting ready for the Emmys!
See he checklist after the jump.

I'm very excited it's Emmy week, but I do have to admit I have a little hitch in my giddy-up (sorry for the Texas slang). Sunday, I took part in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon, so as long as I don't have to run up the red carpet this week I'm good. A quick thanks to all my friends on team Disney and a big thanks to all those that raised money for Children's Hospital. This has become one of my favorite events of the year and I'm already looking forward to next year.
Now it's time to get to work on the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards. I can't tell you how happy...

Hey!
Man, have we been running! Writers are writing, directors are directing, crew and everyone are prepping and shooting (and more prepping and shooting). Actors are acting, post is editing and visual fx-ing. The composer is composing and sound and digital media have been working steadily to get ready to premiere Ghost Whisperer on Sept. 25.

Every week on Catch It Keep It, we present a challenge to a team of three builders/contestants: Use science, engineering and ingenuity to protect a dazzling prize from a devious machination that is designed to utterly demolish it.
Salivating football fans who can't wait for Sunday's season-opening NFL games will love this week's episode. The prize: tickets to the 2009 NFL Pro Bowl in Florida. The challenge: Move a football through a unique obstacle course inspired by five of the most extreme forces that football players have to face. Let's take a look:
Extreme cold:
The NFL Way: The coldest game on record is the 1982 AFC Championship game — aka, the "Freezer Bowl." Twenty-seven mph sustained winds at Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium brought the temperature down to minus 37 degrees, and unsurprisingly, the hometown Cincinnati Bengals defeated the warm-weather San Diego Chargers 27-7.
The Catch It Keep It Way: We've submerged a football in liquid nitrogen for 48 hours. At 321 degrees below, even the most supple material is as brittle as glass. One false move and the football will shatter.

Ahh! It's great to have Ghost Whisperer back on the air tonight. Two weeks ago, we asked you about your favorite moments on Ghost Whisperer and man did you share! T.Davis, Erin Lee, Jen71 and many others posted that their favorite part of the show is the relationship between Melinda and Jim because they're a loving couple that supports one another. We love that GW sports a functional, successful marriage. As we move forward this season, Mel and Jim's passion for each other grows and added to that is the new joy of parenting. Make sure you tune into CBS at 8/7c on Sept. 25 to see their ...

I'm frequently asked: "How did you get on TV? And what the hell is an Engineer of Destruction?"
The second part is easy to explain. Engineer of Destruction is my title on Discovery Science's brand-new series, Catch It Keep It. On the show, I devise a new and daunting method of destruction each week that threatens to demolish an awesome prize.

Hello!
We've got good news and not-so-great news. In the not-so-great category, we're not on the air this week. On the "good news" side, we've got lots going on at Ghost Whisperer and we're gonna bring you into the fold right now.
So, lets get going — we'd like to help you fine tune your paranormal radar. Supernatural things are taking place all around us in ghost land here at Universal Studios, and most likely it's happening all around you, too. Did you know that Jim and Melinda's house is the Boo Radley house that they built to shoot the brilliant movie To Kill A Mockingbird? When we shoot in and around the house there's always lots of ghost activity. Our crew has even put equipment down in the house and if they turn away and come back, it's moved. It's a very noisy house — especially when none of us are in it.
Here are some tips to determine if you are in the presence of an earthbound spirit...

It's the end of our summer season and, regretfully, it's time to say good-bye. Coincidentally, our finale — a longer version of which will be available on-line and on iTunes after-air — seems mostly about going away. That's not only a clue to Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson's personal life, but also to solving the mysteries confronting Major Crimes.
I say mysteries because I like to remind people that The Closer is not merely about catching the criminal, but also getting the confession. This task ...

Hey!
David Conrad and we all thank you so much for the wonderful thoughts and wishes you posted last week. Just so you know, despite having to work excessively, David had a wonderful birthday, complete with a decadent chocolate cake from his Ghost Whisperer family and lots of singing (some good — including Ian, P.K. and Love and the writers, cast and crew; some really bad — Kim is a really a terrible singer. It's in the genes!) FYI: David saw every one of your wishes ...
