I never listened to KISS and am not really a big fan of reality shows, but one day my kids were watching Gene Simmons Family Jewels and I found myself watching with them. One show, and I was hooked. That man can be such a teddy bear. He doesn't believe in marriage, yet has been with Shannon Tweed for 23 years. They have two children who seem to be really good kids. Even Shannon admitted on one show how she can't believe they have turned out as well as they have, considering who their parents are!
I couldn't find a video to post from my favorite show, so I'll just tell you. Sophie had a father/daughter volleyball tournament that Gene wasn't going to be home for. She didn't tell him about it because she didn't want him to feel guilty for not being there. He found out though, when he came home one day to find his business manager practicing with Sophie. On the day of the tournament, Gene was on his way to the airport, when, at the last minute, he decided to cancel everything and go to the tournament at the beach, which had already started. But Gene Simmons doesn't just "show up!" He brought the LA Clipper's cheerleaders with him to cheer them on. Sophie, her brother Nick, and Shannon were all embarrassed. They lost the tournament, but in the end, Gene was there and that was all that mattered.
Here is a scene from another good show. Sophie has a sleepover and they sneak out of the house and meet up with boys. One of the girls decides to stay with the boys and the girls go back home. The lone girl ends up calling her friends to pick her up because the boys have left her. This scene is from after the girl is rescued, by Gene of course, and they all go out to grab a bite!
The man just makes me laugh. In business, he's ruthless, but with his family and friends, he's a jewel!!

ReplyDeleteyes!~
ReplyDeletescore~
ReplyDeleteoff to read the blog~
ReplyDeletewow! fantastic blog, Tina~ I've GOT to watch this show~ :D
ReplyDeleteGet to work, Tina!!!~
ReplyDeleteCongrats on #1, Tina! Nice blog as well...
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the antics of the Simmons family too. My favorites are when he and Carrot Top get together. He and Gene remind me of Tina & DeeDee; feeding off each other for laughs.
Happy Monday to all!
Morning.. Tina and Bonacci..
ReplyDeleteHappy 1 Tina..
I know who Gene Simmons is, however I have never watched this show, not sure when its even on.. I am so overwhelmed with all these reality shows, I can't keep up.. I have been watching Tori and Dean.. I know "lame" but their kids are so cute, I think that is why I started watching Jon and Kate, was because of the kids, and that has turned into a train wreck.. What ever happen to the great sitcom.. Friends, Will and Grace, Frasier I miss them.. esp Friends....
ReplyDeleteI went to my cousins for dinner yesterday.. for "Sunday Gravy" it was delish, but my other cousin was drinking to much and it started pissing me off.. he keep taking over the conversation, interrupting everyone, crying, laughing, yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah.. He got up to have a cig outside so we took all the wine off the table and his glass.. typical keep it quiet that he drinks to much and just hide it.. So needless to say, I came home in a bad mood.. Oh, I hate when he gets like that, I am still angry over it...
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
ReplyDeleteTINA: I've never been much of a fan of KISS either..and I never really liked Gene Simmons..until I saw this show. It cracks me up the way he doesn't mean to embarrass the kids..but always does. Nick's facial expressions are priceless!
I also like when Shannon and her sister get together..I laughed so hard when they were invited to the birthday party of someone they thought they knew in highschool..omg..so funny.
Great blog about a great show TINA, thank you!
Hi BONACHICHI!

G'morning MEK! I hope your feeling better today.
Good morning, MEK, Zona, Tina, Bon, and Carol!
ReplyDeleteThese reality shows are getting overwhelming; Like Carol, I didn't even know Gene Simmons had one! In fact, I didn't even know he was with Shannon Tweed! It's kind of hard to recognize playboy centerfolds with their clothes on...
Carol: Sorry about your dinner last night. There is nothing more annoying than a D&D dinner guest!
Good Morning Owls. I am only half awake. Be back as soon as I have had some Tropicana.
ReplyDeleteI am off to start my day..
ReplyDelete:O)

ReplyDeleteOMg, I give up..sorry for that mess everybody! sheesh.
ReplyDeleteMorning Glories!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on first Tina!
Don't watch the Family Jewels show and have found myself kind of burned out by many of them. What I have watched at times seems like how much money can they pay me to be a jackass. I just don't get it.
Mostly now I find myself watching HGTV or the Food channel. They are usually informative and soothing at the same time.
I am spending the day at home! Resting and doing some chores. The operative word here is some.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Tina - Great blog and first. Way to go.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Zona-My-Baby - Thank you for keeping up my farm while I was gone. There are many different kinds of fruit of my trees. Jack thought I was nuts when before I unpacked I had to harvest my tomatoes before they went bad. I think he figures I have completely lost it now. We know better thought don't we. Those farms are important. LOL
ReplyDeleteGood morning Whabbear - Just two more days until Whabby Wednesday. I am counting.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Mek - Have a great day. Is it cooling off now?
ReplyDeleteAh it's nice to be home.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Carol - I am overwhelmed by the reality shows too. Most of them I can't even bear to watch. I like Dancing with the Stars and American Idol and that's about as real as I can 'take'.
ReplyDeleteTina - Those clips were funny. I will give the show a try. Maybe it's different from the others. I never liked "The Osbournes". Is it like that one?
ReplyDeleteStill no-one in the nest.
ReplyDeleteI guess I will get busy and water my planters. We had a lovely weekend. Jack built a deck on to the '5th wheel' with a ramp and put a ramp up to the cabin. Steps really hurt my knees so I am thankful he was able to do that. It was a restful weekend, just what the doctor ordered.
I heard from VIG last night. All the teachers are in a hotel right now. There is some issue with the teachers' houses. I don't know what it is but VIG says she loves living in the hotel. It's hot in Kuwait but everything has AC. I am eager to hear more.
ReplyDeleteZona - I am home if you want to call.
ReplyDeleteTina - I bet you now come out from behind that tree. I saw your feathers and we are getting close to your favourite number.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day everyone.
Good Morning Tinka~ nope...the show is nothing like the Osbornes.....I wouldn't watch it if it was~ Glad Jack was able to help you out and that you had fun~
ReplyDeletelol Tinka~ that really made me laugh....I've been typing..but fixing errors~
ReplyDeleteBonachichi~ I can't decide if I want to be Gene or Carrot Top~ hmmmmmm~
ReplyDeleteCarol~ smack that drunk~
ReplyDeleteZona~ ugh.....I really don't care for Shannon's sister....she's kinda weird~
ReplyDeleteMek~ you should try it out~
ReplyDeleteBear~ lol...how would you know?!!! lmbo!!!
ReplyDeleteBebbi~ i'll have to check out that site~
ReplyDelete69~
ReplyDeleteLynnD~ why even do some? just rest~
ReplyDeleteTina - I will try that show. It looks good.
ReplyDeleteI made a mistake and said there was no-one in the nest. I don't know if it's my computer or my eyes but I didn't see Bebbi, Lynn or Whabbear fly in. Good, good morning to you three. Have fun today.
Now I am gone for sure.
ReplyDeleteGood morning!
ReplyDeleteTina, I have never seen this show. I recently found out that a young cousin of mine who is a model/actor was a guest on the show. In his episode, he had a date with the daughter.
There are so many new reality shows. A couple weeks ago on a Sunday, I watched "Cake Boss". A guy who owns a bakery who yells a lot!
Same day I watched "Flip This Hose" a guy who flips houses who yells a lot!
Too much.
Tinka thank you for the VIG update!
I hope everyone has a nice day!
Tina Congrats on first and thanks for the smiles with the Simmons' this morning. I have watched the show but haven't kept up on it regularly. They are all very funny, though. Gene Simmons used to be a teacher, 5th or 6th grade I believe. It's very sweet how Shannon filmed so much of the kids for Gene as they were growing up so he wouldn't be left out while he was on tour with KISS.
ReplyDeleteOh Tina, btw..love the blog. I love Gene Simmon's Family Jewels..!
ReplyDeleteWhabby: That was funny! The recognizing playboy centerfolds with their clothes on. You cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteHello Hooters!
ReplyDeleteFinally back in the nest. The kiddies are back home ;(
We had a wonderful time, they learned to fish and golf to name just a few of our adventures!
I am totally exhausted and miss them already.
Love Family Jewels- Nick is as hilarious as any of them, and they really are good at poking fun of themselves.
Talk to you all later, trying to catch up at work....
Good evening/afternoon Tina, Bonachichi, Carol, Zona, Mek, Whabbear, Tinka, Bebbie, Lynn D, EBJ,Goldie and Just Lin!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1st Tina! I'm sorry to say I have not watched this show. He has never interested me. Glad you enjoy the show though.
OK, what gives? Did I forget my deodorant today or something? I commented 4 hours ago! Where is everyone? Doesn't anyone like me anymore? *sniffle*sniffle*snort*
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone!!
ReplyDeleteShirley, dear, I'm the one that smells! Back to school with 25 little bodies all around my big body. Loved it every minute, but boy do I smell.
Tina I have only watched a couple of episodes of this show, but I really did like it. His son cracks me up.
Okay off to the rain room.....
Hi everyone...
ReplyDeleteWhat has happened? Are they that desperate for new tv shows that they have to dig this deep? Gene Simmons is about the least appealing person I can imagine having to watch and listen to. Whats up with his hair? I don't watch much tv at all and apparently its a good thing. Years ago I owned our local tv station...a CBS affiliate....and I couldn't have held my head up locally if we had broadcasted the shit that is shown today......most recently that reality show where the idiot killed the girl and pulled her teeth and cut off her fingers comes to mind.
I guess television is going the way of the Big 3 automakers....down the damn drain.
I'll take a rerun with Betty Jo..Bobby Jo..Billie Jo..and Uncle Joe anytime over that fuzzy headed Gene Simmons guy!
Btw.......was he the one with the x-tra long tongue because I have been known to change my mind....
TINA...I love this show. I don't have cable, but one Sunday at my cousins we watched a marathon! He has to have the worst hair...or is it a helmet!! Nick is adorable and hilarious! Sophie seems so normal! You can tell that Gene is a really good dad and the kids adore him.
ReplyDeleteSHIRLEY...I don't think you smell...too bad!!! bwahahaha
CAROL...I miss a good sitcom, too. I loved the ones you mentioned.
TINKA...thanks for passing on the news about VIG. Next you hear from her, please pass along my hellos and well wishes.
JENNIFER...tell us all about your fisrt day. And did Dean start his new job today, too?
DEE DEE...LOL, yes he has the mega long tongue!!!
ReplyDeleteJennifer - I am envious of your first week of school. Tell us more.

ReplyDeleteI GOT IT. Now it's time to do the dishes. Have a great evening. Love, Tinka
ReplyDeleteToday was just a 1/2 day. We put away school supplies and ate cookies that had a "tent" on them.
ReplyDeleteI like to start the school year off with an outdoor theme. Tomorrow we will start off with a big unit on insects, we will visit the butterfly this week.
I really like to put an emphasis on the outdoors, because so many children stay inside to watch TV.
For tomorrow's snack we are going to go fishing. The kids will use a pretzel as a fishing pole. Then they will dip it into their "bait" which is peanut butter. Then they will cast their "pole" into the pond which is blue construction paper and catch a fish (golfish crackers).
I did it last year for the first time and the children had so much fun with it.
Hubby doesn't start work this week which is a total godsend. I'm exhausted..............
ReplyDeletewell....in that case....with his freakishly long tongue and all....I guess I could watch him....but he should wear his KISS costume and his tongue should get more air time....
ReplyDeleteDeeDee~ Ur a whore!~ And ur just jealous that the station you owned wasn't cable and you couldn't put ur porn on there!~ oops....i wasn't supposed to mention that, was i? :)~
ReplyDeleteMo~ please don't encourage here with the tongue...she'll be moving to LA next~ And I'm glad you got to watch it......even tho Gene comes off as a freak sometimes....those kids are the best~
ReplyDeleteJennifer~ I'm exhausted and I didn't even teach today...I just got home! Had to pick up the youngest at school at 6:30...which turned into 7pm! Then met the other two at WalMart for school supplies.....hubby isn't even home yet...he had a 6:30pm meeting and then had to take youngest to find cleats.....the brat decided YESTERDAY that he wanted to play football!!!! I think I'm crawling into bed early tonight~
ReplyDeleteTina Well, if DeeDee moves to LA in search of the tongue, maybe we'll see her on the show! LOL
ReplyDeleteJ/L~ nah.....she'd always be off to the side.....or in the bed...UNDER the covers....or in the back of the Limo....in the dark....with the tongue~
ReplyDeleteah....I am right hear ladies....I can hear every word you say!!!!
ReplyDeleteTina you are really asking for it...a Manolo stuck in your considerable derrière!!
honey~ It's still considerably smaller than urs!!! :D
ReplyDeleteyou need to lie down with a cold washcloth on your forehead......
ReplyDeleteI am a petite flower and you know it!!!
oh look...isn't that ur rectum? beached, right?
ReplyDeleteUh, oh. Looks like Madonna had an unfortunate accident with the riding crop.
ReplyDeleteThat is a polyp that I had removed from my colon....then I used the picture for Christmas cards that year.....well you know people always want to know whats been going on with you...so I thought this was a great idea!
ReplyDeletewell i know that isn't true.....cuz i remember that picture..and it was brown!~
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is making you tell these lies but do you want to be friends with the devil??
ReplyDeleteOk...I walked right into that one....you kwim-c!!
And I told you about bleaching in confidence.....how could you spray it all over creation!!!!
hi J/L....sorry you had to see all this.....I just can't control her anymore!!
lmbo! go to bed ya old hag~ :D
ReplyDeleteand goodnight J/L~
