TV Shows Off the Beaten Path – COPS

Oh, c’mon. You know you’ve watched it. Heck, it’s in its 21st season. You might not want to admit that it’s a guilty pleasure, but you’ve surely hummed “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do when they come for you” and pictured nefarious ne’er-do-wells in their dirty wife-beater t-shirts with cans of Bud in their […]

Lost in Lost – The ARG is economically downturned

Have you ever noticed how the US media loves euphemisms? Somehow genocide has become “ethnic cleansing” and our current economic clusterfuck has been dubbed an “economic downturn.” What does this have to do with Lost? Well, the alternate reality game, that I’ve mentioned before has been canceled. Well, not completely canceled, but everything that had […]

See Jane Clack – Veronica Mars, Playboy Bunnies, and those Overstock.com commercials

The theme song to Lipstick Jungle is awesome. It’s hip, jazzy, upbeat, and just plain fun to listen to with its Wurlitzer organ riff. It’s a tune called “The Bomb” from Bitter:Sweet, and available on iTunes and on their album, Drama. I just bought it, so now I’m feeling hip and jazzy. That doesn’t really happen that […]

Ratings Clack – ABC breaks out the axe; everybody loves The Mentalist

(11/16 – 11/22) Yes, the big story this week is that the ABC decided to cancel not renew Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone, and Dirty Sexy Money. I’m pretty sure that they are not officially calling them canceled because there are still episodes to air. And the only thing that chases viewers away from a show faster […]

Things that didn’t suck this week – crazy old rich ladies, lemons, outburts and Spock

“With my investment in this family, I think I should have some say.”– Virginia blackmails Gaby on Desperate Housewives. I’ve missed Frances Conroy and sad Ruth Fisher since the end of Six Feet Under, so I was excited when she turned up on Desperate Housewives for a multi-episode arc as a crazy old rich lady. […]

Food on the Tube: Who knew cake could be this exciting?

When I saw previews for some of the first episodes of Food Network Challenge, I didn’t know what to think. I mean, people baking cakes doesn’t strike me as the most compelling television. I think I avoided the show for quite a while, figuring it was just a silly filler program, nothing to be taken […]
