I wrote recently about my love/hate relationship with American Idol. There have been some pretty horrendous audition episodes so far this season, and I didn’t expect much different from last night’s combined “New York”/Puerto Rico auditions. In case you didn’t know, the “New York” is because the auditions were actually held in East Rutherford, New […]

Um, in the news of the weird, it seems that last week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy terrified enough men that now two of the top three current Google search terms are “broken penis” and “penile fracture.” Is this news, or not?

Now, before you start pelting me with expletives or potatoes (remember the famine?), […]

(Season 4, Episode 13 – “After School Special”) This week, the Winchester boys go back to one of their many high schools, and the result was not at all what I expected.
