As a wee boy I cut my comedy teeth on Monty Python’s Flying Circus and The Benny Hill Show. Watching the silly escapades of the Python crew and the ribald frivolity of Benny Hill made my tear ducts flow with joy. Both these seminal programs laid the groundwork for sketch comedy smashes like Saturday Night […]
Over at TV Squad, I wrote a column that made the front page of Digg. For a low-level blog peddler like myself, making the front page of Digg is sort of like coming across Megan Fox just seconds after she’s made a bet to have a wild night of sex with the first guy she […]
Yeah, yeah, I know, there have been countless articles and posts about potential Smallville spinoffs over the years. There were talks of spinoffs for Supergirl, Green Arrow, Aquaman, and the Flash. The CW series also had the TV powers that be even ponder shows about a young Dick Grayson and other comic superheroes due to […]
(Season 3, Episodes 1-4) Another season begins! I’ve really enjoyed the first two seasons of The Wire, and so far I’m enjoying season three as well. Much like season two, the beginning of the season seems to have a lot of focus on character development. New relationships are blossoming, old relationships are coming to an […]
Sebastian’s back Guest-clacking for us again…. The Britannica Encyclopedia defines farce as … OK forget it, let’s just copy what Wikipedia has to say about farce: A farce is a comedy written for the stage or film which aims to entertain the audience by means of unlikely, extravagant, and improbable situations, disguise and mistaken identity, […]
As if Rosie didn’t bomb badly enough with the revival of the variety show, now she’s got a couple of other celebs nipping at her heels, hoping to succeed where Rosie Live! miserably failed. The Osbournes’ new variety show, The Osbournes: Reloaded, which was announced this summer, is soon to debut on FOX by late […]
(Season 1, Episode 14 – “By Accident”) I call bullshit on this entire episode. Yes, I know that this is a teen drama, and not a particularly good one at that, and with teen dramas, especially ones that aren’t particularly good, there is a need for suspension of disbelief. But come on. Adrianna’s entire pregnancy […]
(Season 1, Episode 8 – “The Mile High Job”) Is it possible that Leverage is getting funnier? There was always smart banter and chemistry, but tonight I really laughed out loud, often. It’s a good thing, too, because it was one of the weakest cons of the season. But I’m not complaining, because as far […]
To me, Molly Ringwald will always be that funky-dressing chick from the wrong side of the tracks in Pretty in Pink, the enviable sixteen-year-old who got to kiss Michael Schoeffling a.k.a. Jake Ryan, in Sixteen Candles, and the sushi-eating rich girl in The Breakfast Club. It seems that she’s old enough to be a mom […]
Some things you might not know: 1. Dirk Benedict — the original Starbuck and Face from the A-Team — is still alive! 2. He’s a right-winger who is blogging for conservative entertainment blog BigHollywood.com, which is kind of like The Huffington Post except without the Greek accent or the cultural cache. 3. He believes that […]
