Sprout’s Chica takes on “Game of Thrones”

Sprout knows that parents are often asleep loooong before the grownup stuff comes on TV. And once I’ve missed the first few seasons of a hit show, will there ever be enough hours for me to catch up? Thankfully, in celebration of last night’s very grown-up Game of Thrones season finale, Sprout’s beloved Chica has released her own take on the award-winning series. Check out the clever chicken — she makes an impressive Daenerys Targaryen — as she and a pal play “Game of Phones,” “Game of Stones,” and “Game of Tones.”   This may be the only way I’ll ever have time […]

Recap: Naked and Afraid Bares All: Survival in Close Quarters

I am still buzzing about the news that the next season of Naked and Afraid will feature some of our favorite past participants! Naked and Afraid XL will have 12 survivalists living together in Colombia for 40 days and I can’t wait! I hope that Naked and Afraid Bares All: Survival in Close Quarters is a little less lazy than the “Uncensored” clip show from a few weeks ago, so hopefully this episode of Bares All will be more than a re-airing of past episodes. Within a few minutes, it’s clear that this will be better than the “Uncensored” episodes which are the […]

On USA Network’s “Complications,” A Doctor’s Patient Will Either Save Or Destroy His Life.

Famed politician and writer Clare Boothe Luce once scribed, “No good deed goes unpunished,” a statement that rings true in USA Network’s tense new drama Complications. When ER doctor John Ellison saves the young victim of a drive-by shooting, his act of selfless heroism pulls him into the dangerous world of street gangs. He’s given the directive to protect the boy “or else” and embarks on a series of lies and covert decisions meant to save the child, but which add — like the name of the series implies — complications. “Every action he takes has a repercussion; it snowballs […]

Where is Documentary, “The Man With No Penis”?

The saying may be, “Don’t judge a book but it’s cover,” but in my world, I follow my own saying — “DO set your DVR based on the title.” So when I heard of the Discovery Life documentary, The Man With No Penis, first I checked to see if it was an April Fool’s joke, and second I called “dibbs” amongst my coworkers. I love watching any series with an intriguing title especially when medical documentaries introduce viewers to fascinating people with incredibly rare medical conditions. I adored the funny and charming story of Jonny Kennedy who suffered from the […]

Discovery Channel Announces New Series: Naked And Afraid XL

Naked and Afraid announced a spinoff of one of it’s most popular series that has me happier than a mosquito in a blood bank! The new series, Naked and Afraid XL will premiere July 12 and feature six women and six men who’ve already appeared on Naked and Afraid. But this time, instead of a brave twosome heading into an unrelenting environment to survive for 21 days, a dozen bad-asses will head into Colombia for 40 days of roughing it, naked style. From a Discovery Channel press release: (New York, NY) – What do you get when you multiply Discovery Channel’s […]

Recap: Naked and Afraid “Colombian Conflict”

Whenever I think about the jungles of Colombia, I think of Guerrillas and the cocaine trade (in fact, I was watching a documentary on just that today!). So I’d already be afraid heading into the challenge facing this week’s two brave souls. Add in the fact that you’re naked and seemingly everything in the jungle wants to kill  you (monkeys, snakes, caiman, etc.) and it makes an already freaky experience seem pretty impossible. Oh yeah, and it’s wicked hot there too so add that to the list of things that suck about Colombia. Have fun kids! Charlie Age 52 Professional Builder […]
