90210 – Do teen dramas need to teach kids about sex?

Let’s face it: television is influential. As much as you may claim that advertising doesn’t affect you, or that you know characters on TV shows are fictional, Your “Rachel” haircut back in ’96 says you’re full of crap. If TV shows didn’t at least partially shape the way we live our lives, why would the […]

Real World: Brooklyn – I’m officially sick and tired of seeing Scott’s abs

I finally figured out why most people can’t stomach The Real World. It has nothing to do with watching empty-headed brats masquerading as adults while receiving free room and board. Well, that may have something to do with it, but I surmise the real crunch has more to do with the producers’ fear of getting […]

I hate deceiving promos – Open Letters

Hey TNT — Following last week’s episode of Leverage, you were airing a promo for this past Tuesday’s episode, “The 12-Step Job,” which looked pretty damn impressive. Every so often the ad would run, and I’d think, “Damn! The next episode looks killer!” Maybe you’ve got nothing to do with the promo department, so here’s […]

Did we really need Jack Black, Jessica Alba, and Cloris Leachman on The Office?

If you caught the post-Superbowl episode of The Office on Sunday night, you saw the bootleg movie that Andy had featuring Jack Black, Jessica Alba, and Cloris Leachman. It was funny enough with a creepy May/December romance between Black and Leachman, but I’m wondering what purpose it really served. To me, it seemed like someone […]

Life on Mars – The Aries Project, the burned red man, and Skelton’s the voice

Finally we get what we should have gotten last week, the cliffhanger resolution I bitched about us not getting. For some reason things were aired out of order, which I imagine was done to not confuse newcomers to the show. In any case, we got more questions than answers from this episode. At least we’re […]

American Idol – What’s the point of group performances?

I can tell you the answer to that question in one word: drama. The Powers That Be at American Idol mistakenly think that makes for good TV, so they throw in this obnoxious group competition. I’m here to tell them why they’re wrong. No one wants to see the sleep-deprived divas blubber and whine. We […]

Lost – Skate or Jate, it’s all relationship nonsense

Well, this episode seemed… how can I put this kindly? It seemed very… transitional. There was a lot of setup tonight. A lot of setup and a lot of relationship stuff. I know that a lot of people are invested in the Jack/Kate/Sawyer/Juliet/Vincent triangle/square/polygon, whatever the heck you want to call it, but frankly, it […]
