It Was All A Virtual Reality Simulation? A "Family Guy" Recap

November 12, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Posted by Sarah At the courthouse, Peter tells Lois he wants to hear all about her non-death … not that night, because he has plans, but definitely the next night. We see a replay of Lois falling over the back of the ship after Stewie shoots her. Luckily, a passing merman took her to shore and treated her, then asked permission to make love to her. Problem was, he had the head and torso of a fish, and the legs of a man. Lois refused to sleep with him, he got angry (“I think you kind of owe me”) and […]

"The Office" Recap: Survivorman

November 9, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike, Ryan and johnnysweeptheleg As “Survivorman” begins, the talk around the office centers around the events of the previous weekend. It seems Ryan invited a bunch of the branch managers and Toby to a wilderness retreat, as sort of a get-to-know-you weekend, and Michael was not invited because, as Pam theorizes, “Apparently they already knew everything they needed to know about him.” Everyone seems to be relishing the fact that Michael wasn’t included — except for Michael, of course. Inspired by Les Stroud — “a guy who would go out into the middle of nowhere and just try […]

Survivor: China: Week 8 Recap: Farewell, Susan Lucci

November 9, 2007 Jill Klitz

I think the overall theme of this episode is meant to be “Jean-Robert is stupid,” but some other stuff happens, too. When captains pick teams of four for the reward challenge, the picking follows Zhan Hu/Fei Long lines, except Denise is the odd woman out, making her feel like the big, fat kid that no one wants on their team in gym class. I know, someone had to be left out, but it wasn’t a very smart move for the other members of Fei Long to send Denise the message that she’s toward the bottom of the totem pole. The […]

ANTM: The Girls Who Crawl Recap

November 8, 2007 Ruth Boulet

I’ve decided that nothing makes the America’s Next Top Model viewing experience better than a big tray of nachos. Especially an episode where weight, Sarah’s weight or lack thereof is a major discussion thread. You begin to say to yourself “Yeah, she should weigh more to be a plus-sized model.” Crunch, crunch, crunch — see, it works. So we begin this episode rehashing the last, of course. The girls are still in shock over Ebony’s voluntary departure. She didn’t even have to cut her hair off & she still wanted out. This conversation detailing Ebony’s misgivings about the competition segues […]

Countdown To Extinction Week 5: A “Cavemen” Recap

November 7, 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. Sweet Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson! Cavemen is back (after a one-week layoff so that ABC could air It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown) and so are we. Given the current writers’ strike, I can’t imagine that the show will get canceled any time soon, either, despite the fact that ABC has yet to order more episodes as it has done for Samantha Who?, Private Practice and Pushing Daisies. No matter what anyone (myself included) […]

O, “Cane”ada — A Recap

November 7, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Posted by Sarah We open with Henry, whose injuries have been blamed on a “car accident,” telling his family that Alicia Keys will be performing at that evening’s selection of the Duque Rum Girl down at his club. At the table, Henry and Frank grill Alex about the $100 million that was invested in the ethanol project, since the Senator’s resigned and they have no support from the government anymore. Alex flashes back to a trip to D.C. we never saw, at which some Congressman tells him that corn is the big name in ethanol and sugar people don’t stand […]

Warning: Dancing With The Stars May Be Hazardous To Your — And Your Parents’ — Health

November 6, 2007 Lori Acken

Yikes! If you ever a) get famous, b) get slightly less famous and c) are then recruited for Dancing With The Stars, you may want to ask your mom and dad first. Especially if you are several decades past the point of having to ask your mom and dad first. See, first Jane Seymour’s DWTS-loving mom passed away the day after a performance show. Then Jane herself came down with a raging case of food poisoning. Theeeeen Marie Osmond passed out cold during a performance show. (Then Sabrina Bryan got eliminated, which seems to have struck everyone on Earth but […]

The Amazing Race: Donkeys Have Souls, Too

November 6, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Bex: Our favorite show has started again, Michelle. Luckily, instead of wasting countless hours at work hanging out in each other’s cubes discussing the ins and outs of the race, we get to blog about it! So let’s meet the racers. There are your blood relatives: the sisters (Marianna & Julia), the brother/sister (Azaria & Hendekea), the father/daughter (Ronald & Christina), the grandfather/grandson (Nicholas & Donald). Bex: They all seemed sweet enough to me at this point, but none really stand out. But I do wonder how long it will be before Grandpa (who according to his grandson, swears and […]

“Chuck” Recap: Chuck Versus the Alma Mater

November 6, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

Chuck would rather “get hit in the Produce section” than go back to Stanford University, again. And it has nothing to do with the $294.68 he owes in late fees for a book he’s still sitting on, from the Stanford library. Stanford is where Chuck went from potential to peril as his best friend, Bryce, stole his girlfriend and set him up, ultimately leading to his expulsion. After getting weekly hints at what Bryce did to Chuck, we finally find out why Chuck was kicked out of Stanford. Deception. Crossbows. And the Dewey Decimal system. Oh yes. All of the […]

“How I Met Your Mother” Recap: Dowisetrepla

November 6, 2007 StayTuned Staff

As this week’s episode begins, Barney is regaling Ted with the story of his latest conquest: Meg, a girl who is “so perky and full of life and not at all fake” — or at least that describes her boobs. As the camera pans back, we see that while Barney is painting a word picture of Meg’s breasts for Ted, Lily and Marshall are trying to enjoy a romantic dinner just a few feet away. After a quick montage of Ted’s other recent “jackassery,” Marshall determines that he and Lily need to buy their own apartment — a decision that […]
