10 Items Or Less: The John Lehr Interview

If you’ve tuned to TBS at all in the past few weeks, you know that 10 Items or Less is coming back for Season 2 on Jan. 15 at 11pm ET. 10 Items was one of the better comedies from the fall ’06 season and one that flew under a lot of people’s radar. If you haven’t seen it, think of it as The Office in a grocery store, sans the documentary style. If you’ve been looking for something to cleanse the palate from all the bad reality shows and uninspired midseason replacements during the writers’ strike, 10 Items might […]

“One Tree Hill”: The Slippery Slope

Posted by: haro1d I can’t believe that it’s back. Really. I can’t BELIEVE that it’s back — that “One Tree Hill” could survive into a fifth season is a testament to something, but I still can’t figure out what. Chances are, if you’re reading this, you know that tonight’s two-hour season premiere put the “Tree Hill” gang four years ahead of when we last saw them groping each other at senior graduation. The biggest surprise? That there was NO surprise. I have to say that for a show this creatively incredible (READ: ludicrously fictitious), I find the trajectories on which […]

“The Wire”: More With Less

Posted by SH OK, first off, not a fan of Steve Earle’s version of “Way Down in the Hole.” Normally, Earle does all right, but he’s bland here. Like, Rascal Flatts bland. This is not the musical sendoff this monumental show deserves. Bring back Tom Waits, please. Otherwise, the final season kicks off with a typically enthralling episode that shows a police force in crisis (having to go without OT pay and a bunch of other niceties, like operational cars), a neophyte mayor clumsily trying to wheel and deal his way out of the budgetary mess, a surveillance unit facing […]

WWE’s Mr. Kennedy: Mistuhhhhhhhh Newlywed … Newlywed!

Posted by ButtonKnows WWE fans (and other supporters of Green Bay’s Non-Favre hometown sports hero) might want to extend more good wishes than just for his survival against Triple H during tonight’s live airing of RAW. The WWE superstar known for being equal parts big ego and big mouth — and for handily wrapping up 2007 by besting HBK himself — will forgo watching his hometown football team in the playoffs this weekend to walk down the aisle with his fianceé and head off on a Mexican honeymoon. Congrats to him and the soon to be Missssussssssss Kennedy … er, […]

“Ghost Hunters International:” Passport To The Paranormal

SCI FI Channel‘s Ghost Hunters series has taken us to plenty of creepy haunted places around the United States. But if we start getting all America-centric and thinking we have a monopoly on things that go bump in the night, Ghost Hunters International is here to show us otherwise with a collection of Continental specters to rival the best we have to offer. The series, debuting Jan. 9 and airing Wednesdays, is a spinoff of the popular Ghost Hunters, with a few of the investigative team members coming from the American TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) team. As the show’s […]

Project Runway — Making S*** Out Of Candy

Finally! Project Runway has emerged from the depths of their Christmas break. Not that the designers actually TOOK a break during filming, but we can live with the delusion that Project Runway designers aren’t completely sleep deprived. We already know, due to the incessant repetition of the preview for this night’s episode, that it’s the ‘make something fabulous out of crap’ episode. I love this episode — it’s crafty, it’s creative and has the potential for pretty big meltdowns. We begin this episode ordinarily enough — designers starting their day. Kevin’s all alone in his Gotham apartment, since all of […]

Dexter: So long Jimmy and Bye Bye Lila

Blog sites are filled with comments – both pro and con – on how Dexter played out this season. I can only say, the predictions I gave weren’t a spoiler because I hadn’t seen the final episodes, but I was right on. Lila – as annoying as Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s little sister Dawn – just had to go. She was ruining his control, and would likely have ruined his life. As for Doakes, would Dex have finished him off if Lila hadn’t conveniently done it for him? I like to think not. I’m sorry he’s gone. It would have […]

Genie Francis Has Found Harmony In Her Life At Last

It seems like just yesterday that General Hospital fans the world over were in a lather over Luke ‘n’ Laura, the soap wedding of the century, but life has changed considerably for Genie Francis. After spending most of her young life in front of the GH cameras, Francis eventually stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight, taking comfort in a new life with her children and her husband, actor Jonathan Frakes, on the opposite coast. After making a short return to GH last year, she appears on the small screen once again this month in Hallmark Channel‘s The Note, premiering Dec. […]

Project Runway Repeats

So naturally, there will be no recap today. I didn’t watch the old episodes; instead I watched Ninja Warrior on G4. If you haven’t watched it, you don’t know what you’re missing. Happy Holidays everyone!
