Host: Sigourney Weaver (2): This is Sigourney Weaver’s first hosting gig since 1986, making it the longest gap between hosting gigs in the show’s history. Fun fact, she previously hosted the Season 12 premiere, which was the beginning of the Phil Hartman/Dana Carvey/Dennis Miller/Kevin Nealon cast many of us in our 30s remember [...]

Following Ronald Moore’s relatively big success with Battlestar Galactica’s re-imagining on the Sci-Fi Network, the newly rebranded SyFy Network gave him the greenlight to create a prequel. As for myself, I’ve expressed love for BSG many times and, as Moore’s the guy who wrote the best series finale of all time, I’ll obviously give [...]

Host: Blake Lively (1). The monologue was pretty lame. Do you know how hard it is for me not to be entertained by the second appearance of Samberg’s Swedish Chef? Really hard.
Musical Guest: Rihanna (1). I understand why the new album is a little on the darker side. [...]

Host: Taylor Swift (1). Her monologue included a couple good lines, goofing on how often people say it’s always been a dream to work on SNL. “I remember staying up late to watch Andy Samberg and Bill Hader — and now I finally made it!” She also did a song taking a [...]

Host: Gerard Butler (1). He was very happy that he now holds the record for number of times SNL was hosted by a Scotsman. True story — PLR had to remind me he was the guy who butchered the Phantom of the Opera in the recent film version… then he started … right [...]

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine back in August of 2007. We were trying to figure out why, with all the reality television on the air these days, they hadn’t yet remade American Gladiators. It seemed like something that would almost fit today’s television world better than when it [...]

*Editor’s Note: This was written before the announcement of all of the scheduling changes for the show.*

When we first began to talk about this Lost Feature, we started tossing around ideas for columns. I, of course, chose my topic at the last minute. What really made my decision was the general hate and [...]

So the ten week journey has led us here. America has chosen the opening day leads for the next run of Grease on Broadway. The only question at the end of last week was whether the voting process would choose the correct pair. There were two very obvious pairs after watching the [...]

And we’re down to six. Each of boys have a D? on their shirt and the girls have an S? on their poodle skirts. Max’s and Kate’s dancing have gotten way better since the first few weeks. The opening number was Rock n Roll Is Here To Say.
The sing-off is gone this [...]

Last week they eliminated a girl; the week before it was a guy. Tonight, the whole cast is back together to narrow the field to six.
The opening sequence tonight is Grease Is The Word. The microphone problems are back. At this point, I wonder if the people responsible for this show are [...]

Last week, the women got the hour to themselves to show their stuff. This week, one girl leaves and the men have some time to show their stuff. The opening number is Greased Lightning with all the Danny hopefuls with full on pompadours. I’ll say this, only Derek actually looks the part.
We [...]

Apologies to those of you following this show via my incredible insights. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to record last week’s episode. I have now given it “Record All” status on my DVR, so there will be no more missing the show.
First up is Ashley S. She has consistently been the best person [...]

To be honest, I didn’t see the whole show tonight. I was a victim of poor planning my own, not NBCs. I spent this past weekend in Boston to introduce a friend of mine to Lost. He’d never seen it before and I had the DVD set. Since I had [...]

Due to the Royal Rumble, I didn’t start watching this show until late and, since it’s a two-hour special, it means I’ll be wrapping this column up at about 2:30 am. I’m going to ask you to forgive me a typo or two and hope that some good editing goes into this.
The show kicks [...]

I will admit that I missed the first sixteen minutes of the show this week because of the AFC Championship game and totally forgot that I’d never set up a series recording. So, during a commercial break, I switched over to NBC and started recording. Because of this, I received a good 15-minutes [...]

There isn’t much I can say about the show this week that I didn’t mention Last Week. This week saw another set of open auditions, another set of the hopelessly embarrassing, another set of the talented without “the look,” and another set of hopefuls for the Grease Academy.
This week, the Palace Theater on Broadway [...]

I consider myself Inside Pulse’s resident Broadway expert for two reasons: 1) I like musicals and 2) I’m the only one here who ever writes about them. As such, I volunteered to cover the new NBC reality show Grease: You’re The One That I Want. The difficulty here is three-fold, for me. [...]

In yesterday’s Romo’s World, Matt Romanda laid into Heroes. According to him, “The cracks are beginning to show in my favourite new series”.
I couldn’t disagree more.
Heroes is still easily the best new show on television and possibly the only drama that will be on more than one season. I’m enthralled and, even after [...]

While Season One of Lost spent a good amount of time leading viewers to believe the island had some sort of spiritual significance, the second season wasted very little time in letting us know the island was something very, very different. Season two opens to the sound of an alarm going off and [...]

I got on the Lost bandwagon late into the game. Well, that’s not entirely true. When I first started seeing promos for Lost in 2004, I was ready for it. I couldn’t wait. I was ready to jump on board right from the beginning.
Then I missed the first episode… and forgot [...]
