Getting Lost: “Meet Kevin Johnson” Review

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg Before we get started, we remind you that, like Michael, we will be going away for a while. But, also like Michael, we’ll be back — the week of April 24, when Lost returns to ABC at its new time, 10pm ET. Unlike Michael, we’ll try not to run around yelling “Walt!” at all times between now and then. Last week’s teaser trailer promised that someone would die this week. Two people did. The catch is, nobody said anything about it being someone we actually cared about. (Is anyone but Alex really going to miss […]

NCAA Tournament Blog: First Round

Welcome to our NCAA Tournament blog, also called “The Legend of Lance Hardwood.” Lance Hardwood is my office pool bracket name. Lance Hardwood might be nothing more than a legend soon, though, as he’s tied for last with 12 of the 16 games picked correctly. Fortunately, the damage was all contained to the first round, and Lance Hardwood still has plenty of time to make a run. If you’ve been picking straight according to the seedings, then your cowardice has mostly been rewarded. There were no upsets in the early Thursday games. I picked several: #9 Kent State over #8 […]

Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites, Week 7: The Wizard Ozzy

On Malakal, Tracy thinks Ozzy is too controlling — he decides when the tribe eats, what the tribe eats, when the chickens will be killed. She thinks he’ll win the game unless they get him out of there. Erik, meanwhile, idolizes Ozzy, who is taking the young ice cream scooper under his wing. Cirie can’t come up with enough figurative language to describe the situation — stardust comes out of Erik’s mouth when he says Ozzy’s name; the two are like the father teaching his cub in The Lion King; “I think if Ozzy were to propose marriage to Erik […]

American Idol Puts 5 Hours Of Crap In A One Hour Show

by WindUpDoll Cheesy group number starts the results show! The guys begin with ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps,’ which explains the mystery of why none of them picked it this week. The girls start with ‘Here, There And Everywhere’ and for some reason the crew doesn’t think Ramiele’s mic should be turned on. Kristy actually sounds ok because she’s just singing and not trying to ‘do’ something. Amanda doesn’t sound like she’s singing at all — her mouth is barely moving. Then the group sings ‘Because,’ which sounds way pre-recorded. Amanda does a little ‘solo’ of ‘In The End’ for […]

It’s all about bettering Dominique. Whitney is annoyed, but proud to be a phat girl.  Marvita can’t be emotional. These are the insights Tyra decides to share with us. Tyra Mail!

And with that, there is Benny Ninja and Vendela the supermodel. […]

8 Questions With … Spencer Grammer

1. What has been your strangest fan encounter? Spencer Grammer: I met some people at the vet when I was taking in my cat. I was waiting for, like, 20 minutes with my cat who had pink eye and here come these people telling me they like the show [Greek on ABC Family]. They were very nice, but it was just a weird place to run into fans. 2. You’re at a magazine rack and can pick three magazines. What are they? National Geographic, Automobile and Us Weekly. I haven’t bought [Us Weekly] in a long time. With all that’s […]

One Tree Hill: The Slippery Slope Continues 12

Posted by: haro1d Well, that was interesting. In one of the most comical episodes of OTH in the series’ entire run: 1) Lucas’ mom returned — with Andy, the multi-gazillionaire (Knew he would show up again.) and Lucas’ little sister. 2) It was the big day. Lucas’ and Lindsey’s wedding. A lot of fretting went on beforehand, a lot of talking to Peyton, hoping she wouldn’t flip out. (And naturally, they showed the version of the wedding WITH Peyton flipping out, then showed that it was only going on in Peyton’s mind.) And after all of that hubbub — and […]

Didn’t I Watch This Episode of American Idol Already?

Ok, so last week I got caught up in the Star Wars-ness of the new set. This week I notice that in the opening credits, when our anonymous Idols are making their way to the stage, that two of them have a white mist swirl around them. Now, I’m stuck in the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark when the Holy Spirit rains some Wrath of God on some Nazis, but not Indy and Marion because they’re smart enough not to look. I wonder if that’s what it’s like to win American Idol. While, yes, Paul McCartney and John […]

I Can Make You Thin – Oh, Really?

In the first few minutes of the first episode of the series, I learned why Paul McKenna is one of Britain’s top self-help experts: the guy I watched the show with did not leave the room when he heard it was a diet show, and he even stayed awake as McKenna enthusiastically presented his first four rules to reprogram his audience to eat like thin people. Yes, finally there’s a diet show geared to MEN. That’s because neuro-linguistic programming is science, not hype – or, at least, it sounds a lot like science – and men relate much better to […]
