Its said that about 1 billion people watch TV every single day and with stats like this you know there has to be some really great sites out there. But, how do you find them? Which ones are the good ones? And most importantly what are these websites for? Well its pretty simple to realize exactly why you would use websites such as this - it golds a certain sense of entertainment value. I found a few of these different sites online and they all seem to offer different things. It really depends on you and what you want. One site in particular offered videos, video previews, TV news and even other added things like schedules for certain television shows.

These websites have all the major broadcasting channels as well such as NBC, CBS and ABC so you know they are really up to date when it comes to which shows are available now and which ones were available twenty years ago! There is nothing worse than visiting a website only to see they stopped updating it! These websites, or a lot of them anyway, are set up in blog sequencing posts. So lets take a look at a couple of these posts listed below:

- Scrubs Season 8 Premier: Scrubs Cancelled?

There are even a few “biographies” on your favorite celebrities like Wade Williams from Prison Break and Kiefer Sutherland from 24 so you can check these out as well!

As you can see these websites provide not only a ton of information but it really seems that just about anyone can find something on here that they like. Maybe your a spoiler freak and you like watching all the video previews, or maybe you like watching all the famous behind the scenes type videos or who knows maybe what you really enjoy is setting your DVR or TIVO for all the shows your going to watch the whole week (this is totally what I do)! In the end it doesn’t really matter who you are or what your addicting is, as long as you enjoy TV you will definitely enjoy the information and fun these websites can bring to you!

Prison Break: Wade Williams

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

wade-williamsWade Andrew Williams, better known for his role of Brad Bellick in Fox’s television series Prison break, was born in Georgia, and later shifted to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Williams earned his bachelor degree in theatrical studies at TU and Master of Fine Arts in acting from the Rutgers University under the nurturing guidance of William Esper.

This emotionally expressive actor often reveals his feelings by exploring his inborn emotional reactions to people or situations, and he does not make any pretenses about his personal compassion or antagonisms towards the people.

Williams kick started his career with a Delacorte Theater production of The Taming of the Shrew, opposite Morgan Freeman and Tracy Ullman. He went on to do productions of Richard III opposite Denzel Washington, Guys and Dolls, and Les Miserables among others. Some other major credits in his career kitty may include Jarhead, Erin Brockovich, 24, CSI, The Bernie Mac Show and Over There and Six Feet Under .

Although he influentially played his role in prison break, his portrayal of the vicious police officer demanded a lot of preparation and retakes in the series that leaded him in exploring a lot of research on the subject line. In his research process he maintained face to face interactions with prison guards and other high ranking officers at Statesville Prison.

His major television appearances include some ever green series and television programs like NYPD Blue, Charmed, The X-Files, CSI: Miami, Enterprise, The Profiler, Las Vegas, Kojak and in the recurring role of Father Cronin on The Bernie Mac Show.
