I go back and forth with my opinions of Adam Lambert. Sometimes I think I understand who he is, and sometimes I don't think we'll ever know who the real Adam really is. The more and more I see, I keep thinking it'll clear it all up for me, but ...
After having the following conversation with some friends after the American Idol results show tonight, I decided to turn it into a post. There are two necessary ingredients to being a winner, whether it's the winner of a reality show, the winner of a poker game, or the winner of ...
ABC's latest Bachelor appears almost perfect on paper. He's cute enough. He's a Navy Lieutenant, he's a doctor, a humanitarian, a former Sunday school teacher, and he's an Iron Man triathelete. He's also sensitive. This past week we saw him attend to an injured Bevin, even accompanying her to the ...
Full disclosure – I am laid up right now on the sofa filled to the top with antibiotics and painkillers thanks to a freakishly painful ear infection which makes my head feel like it is about to explode. And yes, I have an ear infection (second time in the last ...
For all the good week we did last week with the teamwork, it was all destroyed this week. Well, not all, but some of it. Some people just don’t get what this whole idea of lifestyle change is all about. You don’t lose the weight by winning the game. You win the game by losing the weight. You can’t win the game and then have the weight come off. You have to get that weight off, and then you have a decent shot at it. [...]
Tonight’s episode starts off with the craziness that is Hell’s Kitchen. Dave and Tennille are arguing about Van’s departure. Dave feels stupid and scorned that Tennille broke ranks and gave Chef Ramsay the honest answer on who was the worst. I believe Dave is personally blaming Tennille for Van being let go. It has nothing to do with the horrible service we saw last week. This really makes no sense; he should know by now that their nominations mean nothing. If Chef Ramsay doesn’t agree [...]
It’s good to see some things don’t die. One of the funniest sketches Jay Leno used to do on the Tonight Show was his “Jaywalking,” asking people in the street some of the easiest of questions and chiding them when they were obviously wrong. Sometimes he’d bring the people in studio and ask the questions Jeopardy-style for even more fun. It’s good to see that hasn’t died out with Jay moving to primetime on NBC with The Jay Leno Show every night. He’s still doing [...]
It really seems like these auditions are dragging on. Of course they aren’t, but without that normal two times weekly dose, it just seems like it’s never going to end. On top of that, there isn’t anyone yet that’s really knocking our socks off. Sure, we have some exciting tap dancers, and the guy in the bow tie, but that’s all that really stands out for me. Is this bonus season going to end up being lackluster? Or are they holding back on us? We’ll [...]
We have two more ABC premieres on tonight, and they should prove to make a great lead-in to their second hour of comedy that started out strong last week with premieres of Modern Family and Cougar Town. Tonight we have Hank, starring Kelsey Grammer, and The Middle, Patricia Heaton. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects CBS’ comedy audience on Wednesday nights. 1. Regis and Kelly. Kelsey Grammer guests and Relly Award Week continues. Syndicated, check local listings. 2. Fool’s Gold. Matthew McConaughey and [...]
For anyone wondering why The Amazing Race wins the Emmy every single season, this is why. What an incredible kick off to the 15th season, and an episode certain to be the Emmy submission next year. For a show that usually gets a big start – recall the
The networks are playing with our viewing habits again, so don’t get lost in the TV tonight. Despite the fact everything is just starting, a few adjustments are already being made, though these were probably planned. Shark Tank is moving from Sunday to Tuesday as a lead-in for the Dancing With the Stars results. Also, after being on only once a week this month, So You Think You Can Dance is moving to Tuesday nights as well. Hopefully they can pick up their steam, as [...]
I’m not too happy with what I hear they’re doing in the beginning of the Race, and that’s eliminating a team before they even get to leave from the starting line. I hate when that happens on reality shows. It just doesn’t seem fair. I’m going to wait and see how it plays out, and I’m hoping they at least get to do a challenge before they’re eliminated. Here’s a preview of the cast. Which team do you think it is leaving first? We start [...]
It’s the series premiere of Trauma on NBC, yet another medical drama. Do we really need more? After ER, none of them measure up to me. Yet, it is different, as it focuses on paramedics and the emergency responders. Oh how I would love something that would rival the old Third Watch. Could we be that lucky? There’s also a season premiere tonight of Lie to Me on Fox which had success as a replacement series this summer. Will it still compare now that it’s [...]
Last week on Project Runway, the designers visited the Los Angeles Times, where one of the editors challenged them to make clothes out of newspaper. Johnny threw his first dress in the trash after Tim had criticized his workmanship, but he couldn’t admit that to himself or anybody else, so he made up a ridiculous lie about a malfunctioning iron. The judges weren’t impressed by his deceit or his hastily-made second dress and duly sent him home. Irina wowed the judges with a paper trench [...]
