My Name Is Earl: No Heads And A Duffel Bag

April 18, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Randy is doing items off of Earl’s list, and he picks Ruined Dad’s Vacation. Earl’s parents have been out of it for a while — they don’t know Earl’s been in a coma, and they don’t even know that Earl was in jail. A few years ago, Earl’s parents were taking a vacation to American Samoa. Reluctantly, they left Randy and Earl in charge of the house. With the liquor cabinet empty and now just merely a cabinet, Earl, Joy and Randy have to make a beer run. In the liquor store parking lot, a shady guy stashes a duffel […]

Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites Week 10 – Even Gods Can Fall

April 18, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Jill has awakened from her long winter of hibernation, left the comfort of her cave and the solace of her television and gone in search of nuts and berries and adventure. And she entrusted this blog to me, me who thinks the best thing that could happen on Survivor (any season, mind you) is that hunger will overcome everyone and in a bout of totally understandable temporary insanity the castaways will unite and eat Jeff Probst (possibly the cameramen could provide them with some fava beans and nice Chianti to add that certain Je-ne-sais-quoi to the event). Not that someone […]

The Office: “Chairmodel” Recap

April 18, 2008 StayTuned Staff

As someone who arrives at work every morning at 7am to an almost empty parking lot, we can’t quite appreciate the inconvenience the Dunder Mifflin employees are dealing with as this week’s episode begins. They’re being forced to park down the block and walk to work, because one of the other businesses in their building, W.B. Jones, is renovating its offices, and construction vehicles are taking up precious parking spots. And while we can’t exactly empathize, one look at a post-walk Kevin convinces me that the situation is serious. Not as serious, however, as Michael’s crush on a chair model […]

MLB 2008 Preview

April 17, 2008 Channel Guide Contributor

Opening Day is full of limitless possibilities for baseball fans. Right now, you’re thinking, “If everyone can stay healthy, if all our veterans can maintain their level of play, if our top free agent acquisition performs as advertised, if our top pitching prospect develops on schedule, if we can get just the right batting order, if our closer recovers from Tommy John surgery, then we just might have a shot at a pennant.” But you can take heart in one certainty: Your team is zero games out of first place … for now, anyway. Our MLB preview looks at each […]

HIMYM: New Robin Sparkles Video!

April 17, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike Here’s a little preview of next week’s episode of How I Met Your Mother, “Sandcastles in the Sand” — named after a song by our favorite fake Canadian teen pop star! The very ’80s-inspired music video features cameos by fellow Canadian icon Alan Thicke, former mall-pop princess Tiffany and, um, James Van Der Beek — which is a bit odd considering Dawson’s Creek didn’t premiere until 1998. (Update: See johnnysweeptheleg’s comment below for the explanation of JVDB’s presence in the video.) [myspace 32496725 nolink]

Time To Travel On ANTM, But Where

April 16, 2008 Ruth Boulet

by WindUpDoll This episode begins with all the girls thinking about how they have to step up their game. They all want to be America’s Next Top Model. Fatima is worried about more practical matters — silly girl lost her travel documents. She’s not a US citizen so she really, really needs to get her act together and get those papers. She didn’t want to have to think about the documents, but now that she may be leaving the country, it’s a very real possibility that she’ll need them. Paulina Porizkova makes a surprise visit to the girls to give […]

Ryan States The Obvious, We’re Down To 7 On American Idol

April 16, 2008 Ruth Boulet

We must start Wednesday’s elimination show with the obvious. Someone’s going home tonight on American Idol. Thank you Ryan Seacrest, Rhodes Scholar. And it’s time for the cheesy group number! The Idols are singing ‘One Sweet Day,’ that hit for Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men. The Idols are thankfully not asked to do more than step up and sing. Then they have to switch position on the stage. The choreographers have officially given up when walking into a straight line is considered choreography. We get a shout out to Scott Krippayne, the guy who wrote the craptacular ‘This Is […]

One Tree Hill: The Slippery Slope Continues Part 13

April 16, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by: haro1d You thought I missed it, didn’t you? What about you? Did you miss One Tree Hill because of the day change? I didn’t, but John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans.” What do I mean by that? Not a thing, really. OTH is fond of starting new episodes with a literary citation, so I thought I’d pull one out as well, even if it’s from a deceased Beatle instead of Walt Whitman. Let’s be honest, though — by now, you’ve either seen Monday’s episode or you’ve read someone […]

Why Mariah Carey, American Idol? Why?

April 15, 2008 Ruth Boulet

You may have heard my moan in pain when I heard that this week’s theme was Mariah Carey. It was that loud. Apparently Teri Hatcher and Minnie Driver are excited about Mariah, as I see both of them in the audience. Once again, the Idols are belched out of the middle of the stage. It’s such a ‘meh’ way to start the show. We get a lot of blah, blah, blah about Mariah Carey and her vocal range that only dogs can hear. Ryan’s accolades omit the Glitter phase. Mariah doesn’t like to judge, so Idols, just think of her […]

How I Met Your Mother: “The Chain of Screaming” Recap

April 15, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike This week’s recap is going to be kind of short because … well, this week’s episode kind of sucked. OK, that might be a little harsh; it wasn’t entirely without merit. Barney was awesome, as usual, and Bob Odenkirk guest-starred as Marshall’s boss Arthur Hobbs (a.k.a. Artillery Arthur). But the tired subplots about Lily being horny and Ted being concerned about the cleanliness of his new car? Come on, HIMYM — you’re better than that. The good news is that next week we’ll see the return of Robin Sparkles in an episode titled “Sandcastles in the Sand,” […]
