“The Walking Dead” Season 6 Midseason Finale a “Big Bang”; Will Air November 29

“The Walking Dead” Season 6 Midseason Finale will air on AMC on Sunday, November 29 at 9 pm ET and Andrew Lincoln, who plays Police Officer Rick Grimes in the series has this to say:

“We just wrapped 24 hours ago on what I think is the darkest and most extraordinary season finale that we’ve ever attempted. To say that I’m excited would be a vast understatement. And it ends with a very big bang.” 

Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes


Fans of “The Walking Dead” series will be subjected again to the frightening zombie world where humans are the hunted species.

Glenn played by Steven Yeun is apparently alive (based on reviews) and Daryl (Norman Reedus), one of the favourite characters in the series, will remain a hero beside Rick.

A happy scene would be Glenn and Maggie reuniting and presumably “living happily ever after.”

*Tips in using vanish stain remover sprays

Treat the stain immediately with the stain remover so you can easily remove it. Do not allow the stain to dry because drying would  harden it. Leave the spray for a few minutes to allow it to work, then rinse thoroughly with water.

Do not use the stain remover sprays on leather, wood, metals, and wool. Use the stain remover spray as directed. If the stain is not removed after the first application, you can treat it again.

TV Show Reviews Wizards of Waverly Place



The Wizards of Waverly Place series lightened up TV viewing with its interesting fairy tale plot. The series centered on the adventures of the Russo Family wizards. The Russo Family is composed of three teens Alexandra, played by the winsome Selena Gomez, Maximillian played by Jake Austin, and Justin played by the bold David Henrie.





The parents, Jerry and Theresa, were played by David DeLuise, and Maria Canals Barrera. The father was the wizard and he hailed from Italy, while Maria was a mortal from Mexico.  Other members of the cast include Jennifer Stone, Dan Benson and Gregg Sulkin. Now and then, guests are invited to some episodes to introduce variety and some exciting experiences.

The episodes centered on how the father guided and trained his children in resolving their daily challenges without magic, but at the same time training one of them to become the Family Wizard.
The Family Wizard was tasked to continue the family’s legacy.

Each episode of the longest-running Disney Channel series featured plots that attracted teens, primarily, because of the exciting adventure of the three siblings; Alex, Max and Justin. The young wizards triumphed over their daily challenges while keeping their family’s secret from the public. Truth was bound to be discovered though as some people discovered the truth eventually.

Alex’s and Justin’s best friend learned about the secret during the run of season 2 and season 4
respectively. Alex’s boyfriend also learned about the secret during season 4. This has added a twist that fans enjoyed thoroughly. One of the highest percentages of viewers was during the Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana episode.

The TV series was so successful, especially with kids aged 9 to 11 years that a film adaptation was done. With Wizards of Waverly Place made into a movie, its viewers increased considerably worldwide. The movie was widely viewed making it the second most watched Disco Channel Original Movie after High School Musical. The 4th season started airing on Oct 12, 2007 with an impressive 5.9 million viewers, and since then, it has fared well as one of the top children’s series on TV. Its thrilling and engaging plots appealed to teens and children.

It also earned the "Outstanding Children's Program" award in 2009 at the Primetime Emmy Awards. Season 4 has started on Nov 12, 2010, with 27 episodes, and ended Jan 6, 2012, but a special episode was prepared last October and November and would air this early part of 2013.

President Obama has recognized the heroism of these men before admiring public.

First, I want to thank God for blessing me with the gift of music, and each and every opportunity he has given me to share it with you all. The contestants alongside me, I wouldn’t have wanted to share this experience with anyone else.

You are all such unique and amazing artists, and have HUGE futures ahead! A massive thankyou to all of our fans, you are all the reason why I love what I do, and make all the hard work I put in worthwhile. To the judges, you all serve as such a great role models to us all, and have helped us grow each week as an artist - especially you Chris!

I couldn’t have asked for a more genuine, honest and respectable mentor than you. To the entire X Factor team, in EVERY department, it has been a privilege to work with you all. You are all such lovely people and have made this experience better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you to Sony Music!

Being able to work with you all, has been a dream come true, for ordinary aspiring musicians like myself. And last but not least, to the most important people in my life - THANKYOU to my family and friends. I am the person I am today, all because of you. I would definitely not be here if it wasn’t for you all, and I cannot thank you enough for shaping me into the person I am today."
