Stanford Vs. Cal: “The Play” Lives On

November 20, 2007 Ryan Berenz

25 years later, the band still comes onto the field … Hard to believe it’s been 25 years since “The Play.” It’s been replayed and talked about countless times since. Versus reunited John Elway, Kevin Moen, Gary Tyrrell and Joe Starkey to celebrate the 25th anniversary of that game and share their memories in an hourlong special called Cal vs. Stanford: 25 Years Later, airing Nov. 24 at 6pm ET (it reairs Nov. 24 at 11pm, Nov. 28 at 7pm & 2am, and Dec. 1 at 2:30pm). The special was taped last month, and I had the chance to talk […]

“How I Met Your Mother” Recap: Slapsgiving

November 20, 2007 StayTuned Staff

It’s finally here. The How I Met Your Mother episode we’ve been waiting for ever since slap-bet winner Marshall set the countdown clock at the end of the season premiere: “Slapsgiving.” The episode begins with a quick flashback to when Ted and Robin were still dating — and annoying everyone else by saluting fake military figures who come up in casual conversation, such as General Knowledge, Corporal Punishment and Colonel Stuckinmyteeth. Back in the present, that chemistry is gone and Ted explains to his kids how awkward it is trying to remain friends with your ex. For instance, it makes […]

Son Of A Piñata!: A "Family Guy" Recap

November 19, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Posted by Sarah Quahog’s Veterans Day celebration is the place to be. During the parade, Peter decides to try “The John McCain Experience”: He crawls into a bamboo cage and is poked with a sharp stick until he starts crying “I wanna be president!” Then Herbert starts singing “I’m Proud to Be an American” with a children’s choir, and the whole town is moved to tears. The performance inspires Peter to be the most patriotic he can be, which for him means wearing a sparkly American flag suit that Stewie says makes him look like the Statue of Liberty’s pimp. […]

8 Questions With … Sal Masekela

November 19, 2007 Ryan Berenz

1. What has been your strangest fan encounter? Sal Masekela: Last year at the Summer X Games, this kid followed me around all day, begging me for a dreadlock. It was like one of those movies where every time you turned around the corner, he was standing there. Finally, the last day, I was like, “All right. That’s it. Go get some scissors.” I cut off half of a dreadlock. I couldn’t believe how excited the kid was. 2. You’re at a magazine rack and can pick three magazines. What are they? Complex, Vanity Fair and Surfer. 3. What’s your […]

Countdown To Extinction Week 6: A “Cavemen” Recap

November 16, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Like “The Onion” once did with John Leguizamo’s abysmal sketch show “House of Buggin’,” we’re going to provide weekly recaps of “Cavemen” until it gets canceled. Thanks to a malfunctioning TiVo and some trouble with the “Watch Full Episodes” portion of ABC’s website, the recap is a little late this week. (OK, fine — really late.) So let’s not waste another minute in getting to the recap. As “Rock Vote” begins, there is a California state election coming up, and Nick and Joel each have a candidate for whom they believe an undecided — and incredibly uninformed — Andy should […]

“Scrubs”: My Identity Crisis

November 16, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Posted by SH I’ll start off by saying one of my pet peeves about TV shows is when a character has a child, then said child is trotted out only when it’s convenient for the plot. NBC has had its share of offenders in recent years, with Frasier Crane and Ross Geller being perhaps the most absentee fathers in the history of the boob tube. J.D. is nowhere near that point yet — Sammy is just a couple episodes old, after all — but the poor tyke has already suffered his first snub. He’s nowhere to be seen in this […]

“The Office” Recap: The Deposition

November 16, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Thanks to the writers strike, this might be the last new episode of The Office we see for a while. Let’s hope it’s a good one … The episode begins with Pam explaining that Michael prefers to get phone messages via Post-It Notes when he’s in a meeting. Pam did it for him once and he liked it, so now he insists on it every time. The only problem is, he doesn’t get a lot of phone calls, so Pam walks into a lot of meetings with Post-Its that simply say “good morning” or have a smiley face on them. […]

“My Name Is Earl”: Midnight Bun

November 16, 2007 Ryan Berenz

With Frank on the loose, Randy and Earl have to recapture him without getting the police involved and creating a public scene. They ask Frank’s friend Paco where he thinks Frank might be headed, and Paco reveals that they stashed some cash in the trailer where Joy and Darnell now live, and that’s probably where they’ll find Frank. Randy gets a prison K-9 search dog and he and Earl head to the trailer park. Meanwhile, very pregnant Joy is at the clinic demanding to be induced by a doctor, pronto. (But Dr. Pronto is unavailable.) Joy is admitted to a […]

“Battlestar” Gains A New Edge

November 16, 2007 Jeff Pfeiffer

During October, you SCI FI Channel viewers may have seen some Battlestar Galactica “mini-sodes” that aired during episodes of Flash Gordon (although, given Flash‘s lukewarm reception with audiences, maybe you didn’t catch them. But they are still available on scifi.com). Whatever the case, these shorts looked at the original Cylon War, when a young William Adama (Nico Cortez) discovered a dangerous Cylon weapon that would come back to haunt him and his crew 40 years later. These shorts lead up to a two-hour special TV movie called Battlestar Galactica: Razor, which makes its eagerly awaited debut Nov. 24. Honing the […]

Survivor: China: Week 9 Recap: Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Frosti!

November 16, 2007 Jill Klitz

The majority of this episode wasn’t all that exciting for me. The high points of the first half: * Now that overbearing Jean-Robert is out of the picture, Peih-Gee senses that the tribe’s need to be irritated is going unfulfilled, so she steps into the void by micromanaging and by picking a fight with James regarding his lack of effort in the reward challenge. James responds in his James-like way — gruff, yet with peculiar word choice: “Every time you bring something up, I will quickly blast you back and make you look quite silly.” * On the reward for […]
