Yes, it’s another (fairly) new reality show. No fear for the anti-reality folks, though. With the premise of True Beauty, such as it is, chances are it’s only good for a season. You see, the contestants have only been told that they’re basically entering a beauty contest with challenges which eliminate a contestant each week. […]

(Season 4, Episode 16 – “Darnell Outed, Part 2″) It’s just a plain fact that one of the funniest shows on television right now is My Name is Earl. Everything about it is practically perfect: from the writing, to the direction, to the casting. The whole cast is absolutely wonderful, but for me (sorry Randy […]

(Season 4, Episode 12 – “Criss Angel is a Douche Bag”) Let me just kick this review off by saying: Best. Episode. Title. Ever. But title aside, I knew we were in for a treat when I found out Barry Bostwick was guest starring in this week’s Supernatural as a washed up magician who suddenly […]

(Season 3, Episode 9 – “Retreat to Move Forward”) Another episode devoid of guest stars, and another episode full of laughs. Even Salma Hayek got the week off in this installment, but I thought it was one of the stronger episodes of the season. It had all the right elements — Jack and Liz being […]
