Amazing Race: Let’s Name Our Chicken Phil

November 27, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

There’s Phil to introduce the episode and tell us a little about Burkina Faso as a montage of images go by. The village of Bingo was the Pit Stop for the last leg, and Azaria and Hendekea are the first team out. As they read their clue we find that they must follow a marked path to the Tribal Chief who will give them a gift. Interestingly, they will have zero dollars for this leg of the race. The chief’s gift turns out to be a live chicken for each team — which they must catch themselves and get into […]

At 85, Jack Klugman Has Enjoyed A Full, Rich Life

November 26, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Long before Oscar Madison and Quincy, Jack Klugman had an important role in a little film that made big waves: 12 Angry Men. This month, the veteran actor hosts the film when he visits TCM Nov. 12 as part of its ongoing Guest Programmer series, also introducing a range of films that he cites as being vastly important to the development of his art: City for Conquest, None but the Lonely Heart and the controversial Inherit the Wind. All of the titles have meaning for Klugman, who, at 85, still delights theater audiences nationwide. Understandably, 12 Angry Men, which put […]

Meg's "Shotgun Wedding" — A "Family Guy" Recap

November 26, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Posted by Sarah Flash floods are a problem all over Quahog … and they’re a great way to stay in shape. Cleveland is evacuated to the stadium, all by himself, even though his house isn’t even getting rained on. The Griffins are not so lucky — their first floor is under water, and when Peter sends Meg into the kitchen to save his six-pack of beer, she gets hooked on the fridge rack and loses consciousness. She’s in a coma, and Peter regrets treating her so badly all her life. He promises to treat her like a princess if she’ll […]

“Battlestar Galactica: Razor” A Detailed Recap

November 25, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Razor opens with a visual and a voiceover: someone’s dragging a knife blade up and down their arm, speaking to us in an accent we don’t recognize from any of the characters we know so far. “You’re born, you live, you die.” Flashback to Galactica‘s meeting with Pegasus, the Cylon we know as Six killing Cain, the murder of Cain’s successor, Fisk, and the heroic death of his successor, Garner. Lee is promoted to Commander. “You make your choices and you live with them. In the end, you are your choices.” Opening credits: 49,579 survivors remain. Lee addresses the crew […]

Role-Playing Documentary Darkon Has Maximum Charisma

November 22, 2007 Jeff Pfeiffer

Crime in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore area seems to have been decreasing lately. Perhaps that is because of all the +1 maces and Daggers of Inquisition that are being wielded in the area. No, these weapons aren’t being carried by police. These fictional items and other elements of an intricate fantasy world are being used by the folks who inhabit Darkon – an imaginary medieval world that is played out in live re-enactments throughout the real-life Maryland/D.C. area. Moving beyond the tabletop world of 20-sided dies and pencil and paper, and even online arenas like World of Warcraft, the role-players of […]

Tsk, Tsk, Project Runway A Shamecap

November 22, 2007 Ruth Boulet

That’s right, I’m not calling this a recap. No, no, this is a Project Runway shamecap — a recap laden with shame for the program being recapped. Why, you may ask? Because the teases for the upcoming episode promised me a Jack announcement that would be shocking — SHOCKING, I tell you. Did I get that? No. I got dooky squat, was what I got. Oh, you’ll see the tease as they open the show, but you’ll get no resolution or any sort of leatherwork-help-getting-cheating or pattern-book-hiding satisfaction. Grr. So we have the blah, blah, “Why did she have to […]

ANTM Recap: The Girls Go to Shanghai

November 22, 2007 Ruth Boulet

The girls of America’s Next Top Model are packing furiously to go to China. Tyra gives them books on China, as I’m sure they’ll be doing tons of sightseeing, as recommended by The Lonely Planet. Thankfully, most of our “models” pick up a few phrases. Oh, yeah, and there’s a competition. Lisa’s all wigged about being in the bottom 2. Saleisha is all sad about leaving their gorgeous house, but, whatever, we’re going to China! And in the blink of an eye, they’re there! In Shanghai! In a bus! Squeal! My favorite line of this episode then comes from above, […]

Dexter: The Skank vs. Debs

November 21, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Dexter has always been something of an innocent when it comes to understanding the non-homicidal urges of the human species. In episode 7, he falls into clinging Lila’s trap completely. Matter of fact, he was so obviously clueless that it was depressing to just sit down and write about how completely she had him wrapped around her pale and beautiful little finger, torching her apartment so he have to leave Rita and the kids and go and hold her scrawny smoke-covered body. So depressing, as a matter of fact, that I couldn’t write about it. But what a difference a […]

Amazing Race: Please, Lord, Give Me Milk

November 21, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

The remaining teams leave from the Pit Stop at Durgedam. We learn that Ronald has developed a hernia as he was driving the bakfiets.

They are to go to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso and go to the train station to find their next clue. Bex: It was fun trying to count how many different ways the teams pronounced Ouagadougou. We find out a bit more […]

A Preview/Review of “Battlestar Galactica: Razor”

November 21, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Raise your hand if you were bummed to hear that Razor would be about Pegasus instead of Galactica. Quite a few, okay … Now raise your hand if you were even more bummed to hear that it would be about events that had already taken place. Almost everyone, wow … All right, now raise your hand if you yelled “oh, come ON!” when you heard that it would mainly be about Admiral Cain and focus on a character we’ve never heard of before. Thought so. I was just like you. Kind of thinking, “As much as I desperately need a […]
