I rarely see opera diva Jessye Norman get interviewed, so it was such a thrill for me to see her get interviewed in BBC World's Hard Talk.

The Crime Investigation channel has a very interesting show right now entitled The Ghost Inside My Child! The first episode I saw featured the screen writer of Gone With the Wind, Sidney Howard. Apparently, his spirit 'entered' that of a kid from somewhere in America, and the kid kept insisting that he be brought to Hollywood and that he knew something about how Hollywood works. And he was just a kid, about 5-6 years old!! Intriguing right! I strongly suggest you watch an episode of that show!
One of the most interesting TV shows I have ever seen!

Two great movies shown in HBO top my TV show listings this week. Denzel Washington's Flight is my most favorite TV show this week. I wasn't able to watch this movie in the cinemas but I was engrossed watching due mainly to Washington's fantastic portrayal of an alcoholic pilot.

It's actually an eye-opener especially that we see how a top Ivy League school like Princeton accepts its freshmen for the year. There is a love story behind this and it's kinda cute.

I chanced upon a very interesting episode of Nat Geo's Monster Fish this week, where the marine biologist was looking for reasons why the sturgeon was dying out in some areas of North America. This was mainly because most of the rivers in North America are dammed already, which has disrupted the annual mating rituals of the sturgeon.
I really enjoyed watching this episode and I have realized how fragile the ecosystem is anywhere in the world and that any human intrusion into it can cause species to just disappear from the face of the earth!

I wasn't able to see the 2014 women's final in Wimbledon because I had dinner set for that night. Fortunately, I was able to finally catch it this week thanks to Star Sports! The scoreline does not do Eugenie Bouchard any justice. At 63 60, I really thought Eugenie just played erratically.
I was wrong!
She really tried her best but Petra Kvitova was just playing at such a high level, Genie was no match to her that day.
Anyway, here are my ten favorite TV shows for the week ending July 25, 2014 -
#1 Star Sports - Wimbledon Women's Final - Kvitova vs. Bouchard

In a shocking development in the story of True Blood, Alcide, played by the very yummy Joe Manganiello, dies in the episode I saw this week! I'm shocked! There's also a homoerotic twist employed by the show's producers and writers, which I love! This show continues to surprise me!

My most favorite TV show for the past decade, True Blood, returns with its seventh and sadly, last season. I think I missed some of the earlier episodes since there are things missing in the puzzle of the first episode I saw this week.
In this episode I saw, the town of Bon Temps is being invaded by this group of rogue vampires who kidnapped some of the main characters of the show! Even if there were some missing pieces in the story, I still enjoyed the episode and the show is still as entertaining and intriguing as the first time I saw it.
Here are my nine favorite TV shows for the week ending July 11, 2014 -
#1 - HBO - True Blood
#2 - HBO - The Leftovers
The Leftovers is another interesting HBO show I watched this week. It's about a community where a group of people just disappeared after a calamity. Essentially, the characters in this show are the ones leftover after that catastrophic event.
The first episode I saw featured the town fighting with this group of people who don't speak! Very intriguing!
#3 - HBO - The Village
This is the M. Night Shyamalan movie which I enjoyed but has a very funny premise.

#5 - CI - Deadly Wives - gun in grandma's house
