The Olympic break didn’t hurt the ratings for The Big Bang Theory. The visit from Stan Lee made it the most popular show on Monday night with the 18-49 demographic. The series is still a pop culture success yet I still don’t see the stars causing any trouble on TMZ like their CBS comedy co-horts. [...]

Once more Idol will hype up the concept of the Final 12, but only the Top 10 kids get to go on tour. Two of the kids celebrating tonight are still doomed to spend the summer hanging out next to the 7-Eleven reminding their friends that there was conspiracy to silence their talent. How they [...]

Last night’s womens night was another lackluster affair. Even the one-two punch of Crystal Bowersox and Lilly Scott didn’t completely impress me. This crop of kids should be competing on your local Gimme the Mic. Will somebody turn up the heat? Last week’s Guys round was a play it safe marathon as nobody dared to [...]

Will this be the first diva-free American Idol? There doesn’t seem to be a single female contestant that has an explosive and emotional vocal ability. It’s a tepid bunch even amongst the few talented amongst the remaining eight. Nobody seems able to even fake a Mariah run let alone stick one.
The episode opens with Ellen [...]

Forget the denial of death. Four contestants will deny their fate at the end of this results show. They’ll deny the harsh moment when Ryan Seacrest informs them it’s time to sing one last time. They’ll blame this failure on Simon, the sound mixer and the lighting director. They’ll swear their fans were given busy [...]

There’s tension for tonight’s live broadcast. If Crystal Bowersox can’t perform because of her illness, she’s cut. Really? Silence would be a major improvement over a few of the ladies from last week. Can the busker pull it out?
Ryan reminds us that they switched nights. Will the girls be better with an extra day to [...]

While the world focused on the Olympics for the last two weeks, Big Bang fans had their eyes glued on the Maxim cover featuring Kaley Cuoco. This might be the reason why the snow was so slushie up in Vancouver. Just go do an image search on her and Maxim to get the view. How [...]

Crystal Bowersox was rushed to the hospital for complications related to diabetes. The producers have decided to swap the girls for the boys on tonight’s episode so she’s not eliminated for medical reasons.
Is there any reason we should be optimistic that tonight’s second semifinals boy’s round will be a major improvement over the first [...]

Last night’s Top 12 boys episode should be rated the worst two hours of network television ever watched by 23 million people. Fox executives should have spent the night on the phone screaming at the producers for allowing the most unprofessional performers on the stage. I understand that not every pick will be a superstar [...]

More I think about about last night’s Top 12 girls, the less I can remember. The performances were bland, but even worse was the lameness of the judges. While supposedly Simon and Ellen aren’t getting along, they weren’t tangling enough for us to care. Where’s the bitterness? Where’s the mocking? Where’s Paula and what is [...]

Tonight’s the night when we finally get to hear if this year’s contestants are entertainers or karaoke dreamers. No more will the producers get to hide them behind quick cuts and highlights. It does get frustrating seeing certain people advance without them singing a note on the show. It’s hard to predict who truly has [...]

They have only one hour to expose the final 17 kids that are part of the 24 semi-finalists that will lead to the 12 finalists and finally the 10 kids that go on tour this summer. Get it? They shouldn’t celebrate too much since hurdle is merely a marker in their progress and not an [...]

Tonight begins the process of giving a sense of identity to the 24 semi-finalists. We’ll separate front runners from seat fillers. It’s the solo song which allows Simon to attack them as still not ready to be true stars like Susan Boyle. Unlike past series, tonight a few contestants will be told they are through [...]

Ellen Degeneres didn’t come off as a complete bust in her first day behind the table. The ratings were up compared to last week. She’s bringing in a few extra eyeballs. But now she’s got to deal with the most painful part of the Hollywood auditions: the group song. Five, four or three hopefuls band [...]

Why did CBS have to waste the post Super Bowl slot with Undercover Boss? The show was beyond fake with workers allegedly fooled into thinking this old white guy is somehow a newbie in the garbage world? And that a camera crew would follow the guy around? If this was a 16 year old pregnant [...]

After weeks of hopefuls wanting to get that golden ticket to Hollywood, we get to see if the 181 hopefuls can stay in Los Angeles. Can they prove themselves worthy of being the next Kris Allen? This first visit to the Kodak Theater will also let us see if Ellen Degeneres is worthy of Paula [...]

Tonight’s the final audition episode and they swap the time to 9 p.m.? Fox is luring us into watching Human Target. I’m not completely complaining since it stars Jackie Earle Haley, the greatest troubled teen actor of all time. In the ‘70s, he ruled cinema as Kelly Leak in the various Bad News Bears movies. [...]

Kaley Cuoco looked mighty fetching at last night’s Grammy Awards. She was a presenter and brought a little sexy to the evening. She had the second hardest working double sided tape in the house behind Beyonce. She and the black Nicole Miller grown received raves in various fashionista blogs. I completely forgot that she [...]

John Denver wasn’t from Denver. His real last name was Deutschendorf. He sang “Rocky Mountain High,” but he was born in Roswell, New Mexico. That’s where they swear aliens crashed their UFO. Perhaps John Denver was an alien who was called up to the mothership when his plane crashed back in 1997? It should be [...]

Should there be American Idol auditions in Texas since their governor seems bent on having his state secede from America. What happens if they split in the middle of the season? Will the Texas contestants be disqualified? Or will their President Chuck Norris make a deal to have the show renamed American & Texas Idol?
Ryan [...]
