It’s time to face facts, people. Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model have had their time in the sun. And that time has passed. As for Bravo’s meek attempts to recreate the shows, I say, “Nice try.” But Bravo will have to suffice for now being the home of cranky chefs and filthy rich, [...]

Sorry about the silence around here. I’m battling a deadly disease (sounds better than “the sniffles”) and Beal’s life, it sounds like from Twitter, is basically unraveling at the seams. Anyway, here’s a quick Round Up of the TV I’ve caught over the last two weeks and my thoughts because, oh, you are DYING to [...]
Hoarders: The (2nd) Most Awful Show on Television
Posted in Hoarders on 11/10/2009 | 1 Comment »
by Beal I don’t mean “awful” like The Nanny is awful, I mean “awful” like “THE SECOND (I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant is still worse) MOST DISTURBING SHOW I’VE EVER SEEN!!” What the hell is wrong with these people? I watched the premiere several months ago and blocked it from my memory. This A&E [...]

by Judi 5. Yes, Dear (2000-2006) I challenge you to watch more than a solid minute of this clip. IT’S NOT POSSIBLE to be more bored with a sitcom. Do you know what’s duller than watching a baby all day? Watching someone else watching a baby in the guise of entertainment. Now, I am one [...]
Say No to Jon & Kate- Say Yes to Ruby

by Judi Television is a passive experience, to say the least. In fact, is there anything MORE passive than sitting motionless on your couch, watching a flickering screen while your hand methodically plunges into a bag of Baked Lays? Maybe if you’re in a coma and can’t open your eyes (aka my worst nightmare). The [...]

by Judi Does it surprise you to learn that this is my favorite reality show? Are you concerned about me, when you discover that every once in a while I haunt the deplorable, horribly organized Bravo website in hopes of seeing a premiere date for this program? Will you be there to feel my head [...]
So You Think You Can Cry

by Judi A few recent musings on summer TV offerings. I really, really hate these reality shows that force you to watch weeks of auditions and try-outs before they actually start the show. And do the episodes need to be TWO HOURS LONG? So You Think You Can Dance is a fine example as apparently [...]

Because a) Kathy’s back and I just discovered she’s on Twitter and now I have to go be her 70,000th follower. Excuse me. Oh, and b) Mad Men Season 2 on DVD on July 14th! by Judi

by Beal I’m with Judi. May brings both joy, as seasonal affective disorder has finally run it’s course, yet, sadness, because my favorite programs go on MONTHS LONG hiatus (hiatuses?). However, then I remember that some of my all time favorite shows began as summer trials (Do Beverly Hills, 90210 or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia ring any [...]
