Have Weighty Issues? Watch “I Can Make You Thin.”

March 18, 2008 Channel Guide Contributor

By Elaine Bergstrom Imagine shedding weight without having to follow an annoying diet or give up the foods you love. Sure, you’ve heard that line plenty of times before and, in spite of all the effort, if you’re like most dieters, the love handles keep growing. British self-help guru Dr. Paul McKenna offers a better idea in his series I Can Make You Thin, airing Sundays on TLC. Watch it, and he promises that you will get thinner as he helps you to reprogram your mind and transform your relationship with food. After watching the first episode, I’m hooked. And […]

How I Met Your Mother Recap: “No Tomorrow”

March 18, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike How I Met Your Mother is back — that’s so Raven! It’s St. Patrick’s Day and Ted, Lily and Marshall are going to spend it holding a board game night at Lily and Marshall’s new apartment instead of drinking green beer with a green-suited-up Barney — that’s so not Raven. Neither is Ted’s assertion that Barney’s Blarney suit makes him look like an NBA player rehabbing an injury. But Barney seems to accept it and goes on his way. That is, until he calls Ted’s cell mere milliseconds later, having already procured a cab and two megahot […]

Getting Lost: “Meet Kevin Johnson” Preview

March 17, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg Just a quick note before we get on with the preview: This week’s episode of Lost is the last one until April 24, when ABC moves the show to its new time slot at 10pm ET. Hopefully “Meet Kevin Johnson” will give us something to think about over the five weeks between new episodes. The teaser trailer following last week’s episode told us that someone will die this week. We’re on record as predicting Claire. Or Sawyer. Maybe someone else. We’re wishy-washy like that. There are only so many characters left whose death would have […]

Getting Lost: “Ji Yeon” Review

March 14, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg To paraphrase Flight of the Conchords, “We’re not crying. It’s just been raining … on our face.” Last night’s episode, “Ji Yeon,” delivered a shocker, as we found out that Jin does not make it off the island alive. In all the frantic deactivation of poison gas, Back to the Future-esque time travel and elaborate reconstruction of crash sites, it’s easy to forget that Lost has always been a show about characters. Real people with real emotions — at least within the context of a fictional series. This season has already given us two near-perfect […]

Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites, Week 6: Chet Happens

March 13, 2008 Jill Klitz

Tracy’s not happy that there are now four Faves against three Fans on the Malakal tribe, and she’d like to get one of the Faves to flip, so they’d be back to even. Ami sees that Tracy feels on the outside, so she gives her a pep talk, telling Tracy that she, too, has felt like she’s on the bottom rung, but “I’m not going to be Poop Pants. The more you’re Poop Pants, the sooner you’re going out.” I think everyone should work “Poop Pants” into any pep talk or speech. “Win one for the Poop Pants.” “Ask not […]

New Amsterdam’s Dishy Immortal

March 13, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. A lot of name for a lot of guy. Waldau (excuse the lack of hyphen here, but he’s used that lone name in the past) looks at some angles a lot like a young Sean Bean, at others like a clone of Gale Harold. Not bad creds for a man who my eyes tell me will be in the running for People Magazine’s sexiest man award. And, as evidenced in the recent episode, he deserves the title in other ways as well. John Amsterdam, you see, is looking for the right woman to make him mortal again. I’m […]

A Curious Mom Tracks 12 Teens Through Four Years Of High School

March 13, 2008 Lori Acken

Who were you in high school? The athlete? The mathlete? The party kid? The no one? No matter how far removed you are from those formative years, or how much you loved or loathed them, the answer is probably still right there on the tip of your tongue. And the accompanying emotions still fresh enough to tickle … or sting. It was this realization, coupled with the idea that her 13-year-old daughter stood at its brink, that inspired single mom and first-time filmmaker Sharon Liese to grab her camera, seek the blessing of her suburban Kansas school district, and head […]

ANTM Treats The Girls Like Meat

March 12, 2008 Ruth Boulet

by WindUpDoll If you’re a fan of the show, you’ve probably heard about how the models of America’s Next Top Model displayed some non-model-like behavior in their swank apartment. Hopefully we’ll get to see a little of that destruction over the course of the season. This episode starts with delusional Dominique ragging on the other girls. Lauren talks about needing confidence. Fatima is annoyed by Amis. Tyra Mail! I have no idea what is said again because I just hear squealing when they’re all talking. The models end up at a fire station. Miss Jay is there and tells the […]

American Idol Goes Down To 11

March 12, 2008 Ruth Boulet

by WindUpDoll Ok, so I missed the first few minutes, and when I came in they were still freakin’ recapping. I’m assuming I either missed a cheesy group number, or the Katharine McPhee performance. I’ll probably catch it on YouTube. Down to elimination — we’re doing 3 groups of 4. The first group is Carly, Michael, Jason and Syesha. Well this group is uneventful, except for possibly Syesha. Safe, safe, safe and in the bottom 3. Ryan then does the ‘is this the wrong choice?’ question for the judges. Oh, now each of the last 3 sing. Wait, this thing […]

Jericho Nuke Notes: Termination For Cause

March 12, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Ryan Jericho, Season 2, Episode 5, “Termination for Cause”: Jake and the Rangers square off in a battle for survival against Goetz and Ravenwood, while one of the Rangers takes a course of action that will alter his life forever. We’re down to the last three episodes of the season — probably of the series — so we should be getting all sorts of revelations and resolution, right? Wrong. At least they’re killing off characters. Stanley’s sister Bonnie is dead, killed by Goetz and Ravenwood. Mimi is shot but still alive, and is transported to the hospital. Goetz […]
