Home On The Range Ain’t What It’s Cracked Up To Be In “Comanche Moon”

December 1, 2007 Ryan Berenz

Forget your idyllic images of the Old West. In 1850s Texas, you’re more likely to get scalpings, rattlesnakes and tuberculosis than deer and antelope playing. An all-star cast of Val Kilmer, Steve Zahn, Rachel Griffiths, Karl Urban, Linda Cardellini, Elizabeth Banks, Wes Studi and Adam Beach team up in the six-hour miniseries Comanche Moon, a prequel to author Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove saga, airing in three parts beginning Sunday, Jan. 13, and continuing Jan. 15-16 on CBS. Comanche Moon is written by McMurtry and Diana Ossana, and directed by Simon Wincer, who also directed the 1989 Lonesome Dove miniseries. Comanche […]

“Scrubs”: My Growing Pains

November 30, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Posted by SH What has two thumbs and has to retire? Bob Kelso. Turns out the administrator/devil in a white coat has been acting weirdly juvenile this season (“Hells, yeah!”) for reasons that have nothing to do with his newfound bachelorhood. He’s 65, mandatory retirement age at the hospital, and the search for his replacement is on. My prediction: It will be revealed that throughout his time at Sacred Heart, Janitor has acted as an undercover monitor in order to find out what’s wrong at the hospital he one day will run. His true identity is that of a brilliant […]

“My Name Is Earl”: Burn Victim

November 30, 2007 Ryan Berenz

Honk if you know someone on death row. Earl has only six months and 10 days left on his prison sentence after helping the warden out of several jams. But the warden finds himself in another mess after a press conference embarrassment, and now the warden has to institute an inmate reconciliation program to replace the previous “two men enter, one man leaves” reconciliation program. So again the warden enlists Earl’s help and offers Earl six months off his sentence if he can get an inmate to reconcile with the victims of his crime. Earl finds a good candidate in […]

We’re Into It – 2007’s Best!

November 30, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

TV isn’t just our profession — it’s our passion. So while coming up with a countdown of the 40 best programs, people, networks, moments and more from the year in cable was hard work (though not as hard as the jobs in #23), it was a labor of love. We argued and fought for our favorites with the ferocity of a Hip-Hopopotamus (see #9), and we didn’t earn nearly the paychecks of the two guys who fought in #16. And we did it all for you. And we’ll keep on doing it for you … if that’s what you’re into. […]

Survivor: China: Week 10 Recap: No More Naked Frolicking

November 30, 2007 Jill Klitz

Our Thanksgiving leftovers can finally finish digesting in peace — after waiting two weeks for last episode’s cliffhanger to be resolved, we learn that the “more business” Jeff Probst warned of after Frosti was voted out isn’t an additional elimination vote but is instead a reward challenge that, apparently just for dramatic effect, takes place at the Tribal Council location. Peih-Gee wins the challenge, which is a quiz on Chinese culture (before you think that her Chinese heritage gave her an advantage, consider that “What is the capital of China?” was one of the questions). She chooses Erik and Denise […]

Project Runway Gets All Butch in Man ‘O Fashion

November 29, 2007 Ruth Boulet

I don’t know if Project Runway is trying to appeal to a wider audience, or just trying to vary the challenges a bit, but this episode was a bit of a break from the typical fashion format. Oh, we still had cattiness, we still had sewing, but we also had a little something for the straight guy in the competition. That little something was Tiki Barber. But first, we learn Jack is HIV positive & see his huge baggie of drugs. Thankfully he currently reports that he’s healthy as a horse. Christian is still a bit stunned from being taken […]

ANTM: The Girls Go On Go-See Adventures Recap

November 29, 2007 Ruth Boulet

Do I even need to tell you that this recap contains spoilers? Do I? It’s a recap, people. Recaps tell you what happened during an episode. Therefore, I shan’t be leaving details out, like who got kicked off the show. That said, here we go. Once again, we begin with Heather being down on herself for the previous week’s performance. Jenah is also down on herself, as she got the dreaded “personality” note. As in: “You’re a great model, but you need to work on your personality.” Great, that’s helpful, and so easily changeable. TyraMail! Do I even need to […]

Thugs Of The Caribbean: A “Cane” Recap

November 28, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Posted by Sarah I missed a lot last week, apparently. Alex didn’t get to bust Old Man Samuels because Ellis (not Alice, as I’ve been writing up to now) was secretly still on her dad’s side and got Alex’s lawyer to confess that Alex stole the evidence against her dad and is also involved in not-so-above-board land deals himself. Ouch. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the Israeli mob got pissed that Alex replaced them as truck drivers, so they executed three of the drivers and the media had a field day reporting on Duque’s associations with organized crime. Pancho […]

Dexter: Let The Endgame Begin!

November 27, 2007 StayTuned Staff

One of the interesting things about humans is how incredibly stupid even the smartest ones can be. In the Nov. 18 episode, it was Doakes’ turn to be an idiot — in his case due to pride and anger. Walking out of a meeting with FBI Agent Lundy. Breaking into Dexter’s home and, instead of calling 911 when he finds the mother lode of incriminating evidence, he steals it instead. And puts it in his CAR for the FBI to discover. So now he is suspect numero uno but that still didn’t stop him from putting a bullet in Dexter’s […]

“How I Met Your Mother” Recap: The Yips

November 27, 2007 StayTuned Staff

One week after Slapsgiving, the folks at How I Met Your Mother give us the Victoria’s Secret models. It’s no wonder we love the show. Speaking of Slapsgiving, a lot of people probably ate a little too much over the holiday weekend, so it’s appropriate that this week’s episode begins with Future Ted explaining to his kids the concept of gyms. Better yet, he does so in a way that implies that gyms no longer exist in the future — so we all have that to look forward to. Back in the present, Ted decides that the whole gang should […]
