After nine episodes, it’s clear who has separated themselves from the pack on Real World: Brooklyn. Ryan, Chet and Katelynn are easily the most interesting and entertaining. The other five cast members fall somewhere between dull and catatonic. No matter how creative the producers get in the editing room, there doesn’t appear to be a […]
My oldest daughter is 8 years old. In the current era of child development this makes her something like 14 or 15 years old. So she is definitely into the newest generation of teen and young adult stars gracing the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon airwaves. We’re talking your JoBros, your HannaMos, your SelinaGos and your […]
I have already written about my disappointment with Lie to Me. I’ll watch tonight, too, but I’m not sure it’s going to get any better. It’s also hard for me to get invested in the show; my reason for this is in my list of why I think the show is going to be canceled. […]
One of the big issues on 24 this season is whether torture methods are ever justified. That was especially prevalent in this week’s episode, when Jack Bauer hammered the electrical impulses into Burnett while snarling, “Where’s the target?!” Elsewhere in the White House, we’ve got the President and her minions discussing whether torture is an […]
Alright, I totally have to geek out for a minute and admit that this episode made me “squeee!” more than once. Well, they were inner “squeees,” because I don’t think I’ve ever actually “squeeed” out loud, but you know what I mean. In any case, it was a really great episode. Along with the previous […]
Hell, yes! First of all, I’m thrilled to see that some of my favorites made it to the wild card eight. However, expletives seemed to flow from my mouth as the judges were announcing some of their choices. Not very ladylike, I know. Something about Idol brings out the worst in people. I disgust myself. […]
One of the more minor-seeming storylines on Big Love actually has the most potential to be an explosive plot. It occurred to me, though, that viewers who don’t have intimate knowledge of Mormon history, particularly from the past 20 years, may not realize how important that story is. It’s hard to write this without seeming […]
Super heroes are cool (especially in a house with a four-year-old boy); just look at the success of Iron Man and The Dark Night. Smallville has just been renewed, even though this season was slated to be its last — how could they cancel with the best ratings ever? It just seems the proper time […]
My ex-girlfriend was fond of shitty television. She had a sixth sense when it came to locating the most vacuous, albeit addictive, shows on the DirecTV lineup. One of her must-sees was How Clean Is Your House?, airing weekdays at 4pm on BBC America. Domestic divas Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie, along with their army […]
After a long wait, the highlight of the mid-season schedule — my midseason schedule anyway — is finally here. The boys from the ‘Bench are back with work to do, and as the title says, it all feels very familiar. That’s both a good, and a not-so-good, thing. Also adding fuel to the season two […]
