Who Likes Padma That Much?

On my way into work this morning a car in front of me had a vanity plate that said:
TOPCHEF

There was [...]

if the Writers Strike doesn’t end soon:
30 Rock.
Tonight’s episode made that pretty much official. There’s nothing I enjoy more than shows about awkward women dating hot guys, studio heads running baseball teams, allusions to the Iraq war, and Vili Fualaau jokes. I usually don’t watch 30 Rock on its first-run because I’m a converted [...]

Hump Day Updates

Kathy Griffin has a new stand-up special on Bravo tomorrow. I saw her perform here in Nashville a few months ago and it was the best night I’ve had here. If her new show Straight to Hell,is half as good, then I will probably pee my pants from laughing…twice. Plus, she’ll probably talk about [...]

High School Musical 3 is ditching the small screen and being released as a full-length feature next year.
Zac Efron, (who has shinier hair than 90% of the girls I know), is reportedly earning 3Million for this one. 3 Mil? And that’s just on the front end. If this thing does well (and there’s [...]

Someone finally asked the Presidential candidates the tough questions…TV Guide.
They surveyed the hopefuls to see what they’re watching and what their favorites are. The article hits newsstands on Thursday but thanks to the Drudge Report you can see it now.
My favorite response? John McCain! The old coot picked Prison Break. The Hanoi Hilton [...]

An Open Letter To The Hip-Hop Community

Dear Rappers, Moguls, Singers, Back-Up Dancers, Posse Members and Mr. West,

Your music may be popular. Your clothes may premiere at fashion shows and boutiques around the world. You may even have a music video that cuts through the clutter on MTV and gets airplay. However, there is one fragment of media and pop culture [...]

Shows I Wish I Cared About

Sometime’s it’s lonely at the ground floor. I just didn’t think certain shows would last, so I let them go on without me. Now everyone is tuning in and I’m stuck with re-runs of Fresh Prince. Here are a few that I’m thinking of this morning:

Dancing With The Stars – Z-List celebrities cha-cha their way [...]

Prison Break Be Damned

Contributing to my addiction with prison documentaries is National Geographic Channel’s Locked Up Abroad. It’s exactly what is sounds like, but scarier.

Both shows centered around young people, friends usually, who travel to South America and [...]

Black Friday means a few things in my house: Turkey and cranberry sandwiches, the one and only day my mother sleeps in and my earliest wake-up call of the year.
My brother and I left the house at 3:45 this morning in pursuit of TV on DVD. Between the two of us we purchased Season 2 [...]
