The profile highlights how Williams has parlayed his role […]

FSN Presents "Amazing Sports Stories"

April 11, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Cubicle QB I give FSN lots of credit for upping the I.Q. on their original programming lately, with the recently returned Sport Science, and now the Emmy-nominated Amazing Sports Stories premiering April 13 at 8pm (all time zones) and airing Sundays. This new series, consisting of 13 half-hour episodes, is part movie and part documentary, using dramatic reenactments, archival footage and interviews to piece together unbelievable and rarely told stories of athletes or teams throughout history. The premiere episode, “Bert Shepard: The Dream That Wouldn’t Die,” tells the story of a pro pitching prospect who became a fighter […]

“Scrubs”: My Bad Too

April 11, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by SH Undeterred by a three-month long break brought on by the writers strike, the gang at Sacred Heart returned with a pretty funny episode that introduced two notable terms into the “Scrubs” lexicon — “Amigoville,” a fantasyland J.D. conjures up where Mexican day laborers take white people who are nice enough to learn Spanish (they have guacamole lakes and HUGE churros there); and “brinner,” Turk’s idea of nirvana in which you eat breakfast food at dinner (wine with pancakes is his preferred combo). While J.D. still narrates and helps a burn victim attend his high school graduation, the […]

My Name Is Earl: Stole A Motorcycle

April 11, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Ryan Earl is still in a coma, and his mind is still playing out The Hickeys sitcom. In it, Earl mistakes Billie’s gynecologist for a gigolo, and Billie gives birth to Earl’s child — who, this time, is actually his own color and looks like him. The Hickeys will hopefully be canceled very soon. So while Earl is comatose, Randy is going to cross off some list items so Earl stays in karma’s favor. Using Earl’s drool, he selects “Stole a Motorcycle.” A while ago, while out on a “crime walk,” Earl and Randy found a motorcycle with […]

The Office: “The Dinner Party” Recap

April 11, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike, Ryan and johnnysweeptheleg You know, sometimes we don’t give Michael Scott enough credit. Not many people would go the lengths that he did in last night’s episode to trick someone into having dinner with him. Staging a special assignment from corporate for which the entire Scranton branch would have to work late, he slyly gets Jim to admit that he has no plans for the evening before “convincing” corporate to call the whole thing off — leaving Jim and Pam available to attend the most awkward dinner party ever.

Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites, Week 9: Short End of the Stick

April 10, 2008 Jill Klitz

Eliza isn’t liked by anyone, so her best strategy is to align with fellow outcast Jason. When Jason tells her that he has the hidden immunity idol, she’s excited that her alliance might have some power, especially if they can join with Ami when the tribes merge. But Eliza doesn’t yet know that Ami got booted off, and that what Jason believes to be an idol is just a stick that Ozzy carved a vague face into. The tribes are told to gather their personal items immediately and go to a new location, and they correctly assume that a merge […]

Done With Charity, It’s Time To Wave The American Idol Axe

April 10, 2008 Ruth Boulet

Why am I surprised that tonight’s elimination episode of American Idol starts with a crappy recap of last night’s Idol Gives Back? Why? Why does Ryan Seacrest start this episode in a weird artsy way? Why? So many questions. So many answers I don’t really care about. Oooh! Songs from Idol Gives Back are topping the iTunes chart. Wow, I don’t care. Then we get the Idols once again doing ‘Shout To The Lord.’ Again. Apparently American Idol is thinking maybe Kristy Lee Cook is on to something and invoking Jesus might up the ratings. I wonder what Carly thinks […]

We (Un)Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

April 10, 2008 Channel Guide Contributor

You’ve gotta hand it to the writers strike — it’s done a ton toward helping April shake that whole “cruelest month” rap. Especially for us TV fans. Along with the crocuses and tulips, new episodes of virtually all of our most beloved comedy and drama series are springing up through the wintry pall of reruns and slapdash reality shows that have made even the most ardent fans queasy like too much party on your birthday. Heck, we’ll admit to the occasional TV-obsessive version of beer goggles. Some weird stuff can look good when you’re drunk on boredom. April will shower […]

April 10, 2008 Ryan Berenz

(Here’s some background on 420.) Highlights include a special episode of Code Monkeys and the Season 2 premiere of The Block. I’m already getting the munchies.

Idol Gives Back. Do You? I’m Waiting For The Fergie Cartwheel

April 9, 2008 Ruth Boulet

After a pompous start by Ryan Seacrest, we get this party started with Rhianna’s ‘Please Don’t Stop The Music.’ No, wait, it’s the Idols going a group number! Carly’s singing about dancing, but she still looks pissed off. This is for charity, so the Idols don’t have to dance. They have professionals for this. Oh, now we’re going into the ‘mamma-say mamma-sa mamakusa’ or whatever Michael Jackson was singing back in the ’80s. One of the dancers has a really flexible back and a strong neck since his neck was almost the only thing holding him up. Next we get […]
