April 1, 2009 Lori Acken

By ButtonKnows Oh, quit giggling at the title, ladies — you don’t even know what the show is about! It’s about dating. And, yes, it’s called In Men We Trust. And no, that’s not an April Fool’s funny. Resume giggling. Then get ready to hit www.wetv.com/singles/in-men-we-trust today (and then every Tuesday and Thursday beginning April 7) for new episodes of WEtv’s seven-episode, camp-tastic micro-series, which follows the romantic escapades of free-wheeling Liza, straight-arrow Grace and pragmatic Emma, a trio of New York ladies enrolled in relationship guru Mariel Cushing’s “dating boot camp.” Soon enough, the recruits discover their leader’s love life might not […]

“Simpsons” Leave Their Stamp On The Post Office

April 1, 2009 Jeff Pfeiffer

By Jeff Pfeiffer Woo-hoo! Starting soon, when you write those letters to Die Hard or another one of your favorite movies, you will be able to use a Simpsons stamp to send them! Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie will be commemorated on official First-Class stamps from the U.S. Postal Service personally designed by Simpsons creator Matt Groening. Out of the 50,000 stamp suggestions the USPS receives each year, about 20 are considered, and obviously FOX’s first family made the final cut at long last. A sneak peek at what the stamps will look like will be made available on […]

“How I Met Your Mother” Recap: Murtaugh

March 31, 2009 Ryan Berenz

By Ryan (Mike, who usually does these recaps, is vacationing in Hawaii. I’m taking over this week, planning to kill any momentum he may have created with suitjamas.) Barney raised a ruckus at Laser Tag and has been banned for disorderly game play and three counts of shoving. Ted doesn’t see what the problem is — Barney’s too old for that sh*t stuff anyway. Which leads to a new addition to the “Murtaugh List,” named for Danny Glover’s character in the Lethal Weapon movies, which indicates things that they are now too old to do. Barney defies the Murtaugh List, […]

“My Boys” Season 3 Preview

March 30, 2009 Ryan Berenz

By Ryan Fans of the TBS comedy series My Boys no doubt know that the show returns for Season 3 on Tuesday, March 31, at 10:30pm ET. When we last saw PJ (Jordana Spiro) and her boys, they were getting ready for Bobby and Elsa’s wedding. Figuring she’s lost Bobby (Kyle Howard) for good, PJ hooks up with Bobby’s brother (Billy Burke). But Bobby got cold feet, and came to the realization that he’s marrying the wrong woman. I’ve seen the first two episodes of Season 3 — Welcome Back Kalla Fotter (March 31) and Private Eyes (April 7) — […]

“Family Guy” Season 7 Episode 11 Recap: Not All Dogs Go To Heaven

March 30, 2009 Channel Guide Contributor

In the words of Brian, “Ah, the annual Quahog Star Trek convention — where once a year, sci fi buffs take their lips off the barrel of a loaded gun and spend half a day adjusting their eyes to sunlight.” Since Peter was kicked out of last year’s convention for insulting Shatner, he brings the whole reluctant family this time. Stewie buys blueprints of the transporter, professes his love of Picard over Kirk, and attends the cast Q&A session in which the only questions people ask are about buildup on household sponges, skin conditions, and low pressure in artesian wells. […]

“The Office” Recap: Two Weeks

March 27, 2009 Ryan Berenz

Synopsis: Everyone wants to hear the story of how Michael told David Wallace to stuff it. Of course, now that there’s a story from Michael they actually want to hear, he’s totally botching it. “The revolving door … broken!” The employees are disappointed that Michael didn’t go out in a blaze of glory. Maybe Oscar will have a quitting story someday. He’ll dream until then. We all know how much Michael screwed around at work when he was actually giving the effort. But now that he’s in the lame-duck two-weeks notice phase, he’s really living it up. He’s drinking Scotch […]

“My Name Is Earl” Recap: Pinky

March 27, 2009 Ryan Berenz

Randy is lamenting his lost love, the Camdenite girl who lost her head and died in that car accident. Just kidding. They broke up. But this reminds Randy of his real first love, a girl he met in the summer of 1984 at the lake where his morbidly obese aunt Gail lived. Her name was Pinky because of her pink hair. Randy’s name was Skipper, because he skipped rocks on the lake. It was love at first sight for Pinky and Skipper, until they were supposed to meet one night on the bridge and Pinky didn’t show up. Randy and […]

“Scrubs” Recap: Their Story II

March 26, 2009 StayTuned Staff

By Stacey Harrison The interns are back this week, but the show still seems to be suffering a severe case of the not-badsies. Nothing too memorable, and if this is indeed the final season, why are we spending so much time meeting the new guys? I get the whole idea of wanting to instill that Sacred Heart will go on long after the show is over, but seriously, is there no end to how many interns they can bring in? If we insist on hearing the thoughts of minor characters, I’d really like to know what’s going on in Snoop […]

David Goodman Talks About The Upcoming “Star Trek: The Next Generation” Cast Reunion On “Family Guy”

March 25, 2009 Channel Guide Contributor

by Sarah Yesterday, showrunner and executive producer David Goodman held a conference call to talk about next week’s episode of Family Guy, called “Not All Dogs Go to Heaven,” which features a reunion of the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. One of the big thrills for Goodman is that he actually gets to be in the episode as a convention-goer who not only gets a scene with Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes, but who also gets into an age-old Trekkie argument about the questionable canon fidelity of the episode “Relics.”

“How I Met Your Mother”: Old King Clancy Recap

March 24, 2009 StayTuned Staff

By Mike Frey Synopsis: Things have been rough for Ted at work, as he develops a design for the new Goliath National Bank headquarters. The guy in charge of the project, Bilson, doesn’t like any of Ted’s ideas and it makes for a hostile work environment. Everything changes, though, when Bilson is taken off the project and replaced with a task force who loves all of Ted’s ideas. They should, since the force is made up of a Ray the janitor; Louisa the lunch lady; 15th Street’s own one-man band, Crazy Artie, and his assistant, Reginald the squirrel; and some […]
