Lots of fun during the results show as I heard Lilly Scott cut a promo on the Idol voters, essentially calling them idiots. And while I do think that they were silly getting rid of her, the truth is that since it is at it’s core a popularity contest, so really, the voters did [...]
They might as well describe the finalists as the Dirty Dozen because they’re rather ragged performers. The shock of Lilly Scott’s elimination signals that this season won’t be dictated by actual talent. Forget hitting the high notes. It’s all about crying after the judges rightfully tear into your lifeless songs to inspire callers.
The twelve guys [...]
This week I was reminded of why I love this silly show in the first place. It was the most refreshing episode we’ve had this season. It was funny, silly at times, sexy, and just downright good!
This week we found Naomi trying her hardest to make her relationship with Liam work. She even asked Ivy [...]
Hey there once again (and sorry for the late review)! Desperate Housewives has reached its season’s final chapter, and some shockers are proof of it.
Spoiler-free zone:
The episode told us more about the mystery, but also kept some storylines going. Unlike most episodes, this episode isn’t only limited in Fairview since two of the housewives head [...]
Well right off the bat, we get the answer to a question that has been nagging a lot of viewers: Where were Jin and Sawyer during Claire and the Locke Ness Monster’s raid of the Temple. Turns out Jin was convalescing and Sawyer was, I guess, babysitting. Works for me!
While I enjoyed [...]
Well, friends, real life intervened last week, preventing me from doling out some wisodm on “Dr. Linus” so here is a quick 250-word take.
In short, I really enjoyed it. Though some of the parallels between Island Ben and Sideways Ben were just a little on the nose (the Napoleon Elba scene in particular), I just [...]
Chuck has taken a darker tone this season, and “Chuck Versus the Tic Tac” was the best example yet, and it wasn’t even about Chuck. Showcasing Casey’s enigmatic past and Sarah continuing disillusionment of who Chuck is, the episode took a terrific step towards the impending climax of the arc. What makes the new developments [...]
A sweet sibling moment at the end marked another recent Brothers & Sisters episode, this one called “Freeluc.com,” that put a smile on my face. Yet, thanks to the show’s irritating refusal to spill whatever secret Nora has, that smile could barely mask my growing frustration. Please, for the love of all that is good [...]
Everyone gets to THAT point in their relationship – where you have sex for the first time, where you realize you want different things down the line, and where you have a choice between loyalty and helping your boss score a totally sweet cancer surgery.
The show was structured similar to what I’ve heard NBC’s Olympic coverage was like – 2 minutes of content, a 30 second teaser, and 2 minutes of commercials. And of course, all this was on tape delay.
There’s two episodes left before a 6 month break (in the same season), and with interesting developments, propelled the show towards a mid-season finale The plotting has been slow–deliberately so–but there was definite progress this week amid the great themes. If I had to guess, Zoebot will get to Gemenon sooner than expected.
Amanda Graystone was [...]
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 [...]
Better late than never, right?
So I have a small confession to make. I was originally going to include this review in the following episode’s recap, meaning that I would only write a brief blurb about what happened in this episode. But after watching this, I came to realize that there isn’t going to [...]
Because of the Olympics and Jim and Pam’s baby, it felt like forever since the last episode of 30 Rock. *Shakes fist in anger* So, was it worth the wait? Hellz yeah! “Future Husband” picks up where the last episode left off and pushes the story forward with a big scoop of funny.
Waking up from [...]
“It is the closest that the Irish will ever get to Christmas.”
On tonight’s “St. Patrick’s Day”, Michael fears being replaced as Jo’s favorite. Meanwhile, Dwight makes Jim’s first day back from paternity leave very difficult.
Upon returning, Jim is forced to drag his desk back from Dwight after he has constructed “mega-desk”; Dwight’s ultimate (and addictive) [...]
Let me start by saying, Modern Family is arguably the best new show of the season. The writing is tight, clever, witty, and has a lot of heart (and not in a movie of the week sort of way). It is because the show is so consistently sharp, when an episode is a little uneven, [...]
Part of the fun of having 8 singers in one hour is that we get no “personal time”, Ryan desperately trying to manage the time and the judges doing their best to screw that up for Ryan.
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 [...]
