Benjamin Bratt: No “Strain” No Gain

May 6, 2008 StayTuned Staff

In many of his roles — often as a cop, in shows like Law & Order and movies like Abandon and Miss Congeniality — Benjamin Bratt is called on to catch the bad guy. But for his role in the new A&E miniseries adaptation of Michael Crichton’s The Andromeda Strain (May 26 and 27), his prey is much more elusive. As Dr. Jeremy Stone, Bratt leads an elite team of government scientists — dubbed Wildfire — trying to stop a deadly virus that came to Earth aboard a fallen military satellite from spreading beyond the remote desert town it has […]

How I Met Your Mother: “Rebound Bro” Recap

May 6, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike When we last left the HIMYM gang, Ted had just told Barney that not only does he not want to be bros anymore, he doesn’t want to be friends, either. Barney doesn’t give up without a fight though, and he calls Ted 15 times — and Ted’s parents twice — to get him to reconsider. Ted’s not interested. It’s not that he’s mad at Barney, he’s simply outgrown him. Plus, Ted is very busy spending time with Stella. They’ve been dating for two months, though they haven’t had sex yet. Not even on Martin Luther King Day, […]

"E:60": Dara Torres, NASCAR Prodigy And Kimbo Slice

May 5, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Cubicle QB Features on the May 6 (7pm ET) edition of ESPN’s E:60 sports newsmagazine series: Dara Torres — Dara Torres won her first Olympic medal nearly a quarter century ago at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles. She retired from the sport after the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, where she became the first American to swim in four Olympics. But during the pregnancy of her first child, Tessa, now 2, she jumped back into the pool to get some exercise and found the competitive juices flowing again. Now she’s trying to make her fifth Olympic team […]

Getting Lost: “Cabin Fever” Preview

May 5, 2008 StayTuned Staff

As usual, Lost has been pretty confusing lately. For every answer we get, a whole batch of new questions arise. But one thing we’re sure about, is that the last few episodes of this season are going to be awesome — beginning with this week’s “Cabin Fever,” which takes us back to the freighter to see what’s up with Desmond, Sayid and Michael. Any episode with Desmond in it is sure to be a good one, but we really get the feeling that there are some major doin’s a-transpiring. For a hint as to what those might be, check out […]

Yo, Ho Ho And A Mid–80s Answering Machine Message: A "Family Guy" Recap

May 5, 2008 Channel Guide Contributor

Posted by Knockturn Picture it: a veterinarian’s office in Quahog. Brian’s in with the doctor trying to find the source of a bowel obstruction while his family anxiously waits in the lobby. Peter makes friends with a parrot and birdnaps it, replacing it with a moustached puppy so that no one will know what he’s done. Turns out that Brian had a used diaper inside him (“I thought it was Indian food!”), and while everyone’s sorting that out, Chris falls for Anna, the vet intern (voiced by Amanda Bynes).

The Quay Brothers Talk About Their Singular Vision

May 4, 2008 StayTuned Staff

You know their world, if only by instinct. It’s there all of the time, but it’s in between the cracks. You spy a shadow underneath peeling paint on a wall and are tempted to peel it back. A fissure between the bricks of a building on a worn city street beckons. You open to a page in an aged, dusty book found in a dark, forgotten corner of a great library. OK, the library example is their own suggestion, but the Quay Brothers know the terrain of arcana better than almost anybody. Master animators and filmmakers who seem to distill […]

“Scrubs”: My Waste of Time

May 2, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by SH Or, you could call it, “My Penultimate Episode on NBC.” It’s all but a given that the Sacred Heart gang is moving to ABC for its unforeseen eighth season — the cast and crew have reportedly already begun production — so there’s a strange bit of purgatory hanging over these last few eps. Usually a season builds momentum to a big finale, sprinkling story points along the way that will end in some resolution before trotting out another cliffhanger. But Bill Lawrence & co. don’t seem interested in that, plus, you throw in the writers strike that […]

My Name Is Earl: Love Octagon

May 2, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Ryan Earl is out of his coma, and he’s eager to find Billie (Alyssa Milano), because karma says they should be together. Thinking the best way to track down Billie is to find her ex-boyfriend Frank (Michael Rapaport), Earl and Rany go to the halfway house where Frank and his buddy Paco currently live. Frank has to wear a shock collar that goes off when he strays too far from the house. But Paco has his collar removed when he goes to his delivery job at Camden Foreign Foods as Senor Lo Mein (one of Earl’s former jobs). […]

Getting Lost: “Something Nice Back Home” Review

May 2, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg One week Bernard knows Morse code. The next Charlotte speaks Korean. Is it too much to ask that next week someone uncovers a secret in Pig Latin? This episode seemed to deal with some pretty big issues that will likely be at the forefront during the last few episodes of the season. Some new characters, and some previously minor characters, seem poised to play a pretty big role in the overall story arc, which is a sign that this has been a good season, particularly for an abbreviated one. Just think, if Miles had been […]

The Office: “Did I Stutter?” Recap

May 2, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike, Ryan and johnnysweeptheleg Michael needs an idea. No, he’s not looking to come up with the next Dunder Mifflin Infinity. There’s wet cement outside and he decides that it represents his chance to leave his mark on the world — he’s just not sure what that mark should be. Kevin suggests Michael’s initials. No good. Some idiot named Mark Greg Sputnik would only steal the credit. Andy suggests a picture, Phyllis has a great idea that she can’t remember and Kelly thinks he should do his handprints like Will Smith outside of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Jim says […]
