5 Most Ridiculous Seasons of Television

With all the new fall shows kicking off, there’s an awful lot of talk about which ones are worth your time. Like any television season, this year’s selection offers lots of average fare, a few great ones, and an awful lot of truly dreadful shows. Before we get too far into the always entertaining mockery [...]

Project Runway Plays The Spy Game

Project Runway, S05 E8: Double 0 Fashion. Last week on Project Runway: Leanne made car part couture and won. Keith had a gigantic nervous breakdown and lost. I started to wonder if the show had lost it, as well, when it couldn’t even make said breakdown dramatic or interesting in any way. This week, the designers [...]

NBC is desperate beyond measure to have an actual, bonafide hit this season and are exploring some new marketing options. The good news is that they’ll be screening a their bunch of shows, including Chuck and 30 Rock, on Hulu a week before their on-air premieres. The bad news is that still haven’t replaced Knight [...]

What’s Old Is New Again: 90210

Tuesday marked the premiere of one of the most buzzed-about shows of the fall season, 90210, and the reception has been notably lukewarm. Tepid. Possibly even a bit bored. I understand that everyone was expecting a bit more, which makes sense. The original Beverly Hills 90210 was a cultural milestone, the show an entire generation grew [...]

Breaking Free of Logic, Prison Break Returns

I have a bad case of must-finish-itis. It’s an annoying condition, one which forces me to keep watching shows long past their prime because, after investing years in a series, I simply have to see how it turns out. I must finish it, damn it! I tell you this because it’s the best explanation for [...]

Spotted: The Return of Gossip Girl

Today is, of course, a holiday in the US, and I don’t mean that obscure holiday known as “Labor Day.” Hell, most people can’t even say exactly what is being celebrated. However, any TV fan knows that today is the start of the new fall season, and that is definitely cause for celebration. While there are [...]

Spelling Interrupted

If you woke up this morning desperately craving your weekly dose of Spelling goodness, wondering if the new PV would continue to cover 90210, the answer is…sort of. There is no recap of the gang’s weekly morality play today, but watch this space over the next week for a truly Spelling-tastic announcement. Share This

NBC has such faith in Chuck that it’s ordered a full season pickup a month before the show’s second season premiere. I know Chuck is a good show, but I rather think this decision says as much about the weakness of NBC’s fall lineup as it does about the longevity of the humorous spy drama. If [...]

Project Runway Gets Behind The Wheel

Project Runway, S05 E07: Fashion That Drives You Last week on Project Runway, Daniel failed to embrace the dragtastic nature of the challenge and was sent home, where he is surely making a high end cocktail dress at this very moment. This week, the designers face a dreaded “innovation” challenge (read: thinly veiled product placement) when [...]

I’m A Celebrity, Let Me…Conduct?

Maestro, BBC2’s new celebrity conducting show, is reality TV gone highbrow. And yes, you did read that right. It’s a show in which celebrities (and I use that term relatively loosely) compete against each other to see who is the best at conducting the BBC symphony orchestra. In traditional style, they go up against a panel [...]
