“Dance Moms” recap part one: Ode To A Whole Bunch Of Clowns

March 21, 2012 Lori Acken

Oh fer the … First Lifetime takes away the next-day full-episode video on their own website and now it’s gone from iTunes and Amazon, too? And just when I was starting to enjoy being able to exchange the laptop for a bowl of popcorn (snackies AND missiles that can be launched at Abby without harming the flatscreen!) and call the play-by-play come morning at my desk. A fistful of greasy kernels in your general direction, Lifetime. You guys know my memory’s not that good. Cough up those shows. In any case, I’m guessing this one may have a laundry list of […]

Gag alert – consider yourself forewarned as this episode could make you gag or vomit.

On the heels of its wildly popular My Collection Obsession, which aired last fall, TLC presents the 8-episode series My Crazy Obsession Wednesday nights, beginning March 7. The show marks the first time that many of its subjects have allowed cameras into their secret world of bizarre habits, rituals and obsessions.

My Crazy […]

TLC’s “My Strange Addiction” launches third season by teaching you a new word!

February 13, 2012 Lori Acken

… and the word is “mechaphiliac.” The man who is one is 27-year-old Arkansas resident Nathaniel who met his dream partner — “Chase” — 5 years ago in a used car lot. Problem is, Chase IS a used car, a shiny red Monte Carlo that Nathaniel calls “handsome man” and treats to dates and, er, romantic time. Nathaniel is a mechaphiliac, a person who is sexually attracted to mechanical objects. A broader term for the disorder is “objectophilia.” He’s also the star of the third season premiere of TLC’s My Strange Addiction, which launched last night with back to back […]
