A Timeline Of TV Terror

October 22, 2007 StayTuned Staff

With additional reporting by Ryan A. Berenz, Karl J. Paloucek, Jeff Pfeiffer, Lori Lundquist Acken and Sarah Stefanko Prehistoric parents likely told scary stories around the family fire, horrific warnings designed to keep their children close to the cave. Soon after Gutenberg created the modern printing press, said press churned out The Poem of the Last Judgment, a lurid piece that must have given Renaissance children nightmares. Early radio broadcasts were filled with scary series like The Shadow, while silent films like Nosferatu scared people at the movies. Horror also made a very effective transition to the small screen, as […]

New Start For “Starter Wife”

October 19, 2007 Jeff Pfeiffer

It took home one of the 10 Emmys for which it was nominated, but The Starter Wife — the hit USA Network miniseries of earlier this year — will have some more chances to take home the gold when it becomes a series. USA announced today that it has given a series order to Starter, which was originally based on a novel by Gigi Levangie Grazer, who returns as executive producer along with writers Josann McGibbon and Sara Parriott. Of course a key ingredient to its success is Debra Messing, and she is indeed coming back to reprise her role […]

“The Office” Recap: Money

October 19, 2007 StayTuned Staff

Over the past few years, Pam has put up with a lot from Michael. So the fact that he has been watching The Devil Wears Prada in installments, and has identified with Meryl Streep’s character doesn’t faze her much. Besides, he eventually gets to the “big surprise ending” in which it turns out she’s the bad guy, and he apologizes. It’s when his next Netflix rental arrives that Pam begins to worry. “He’s watching Million Dollar Baby. … He’s going to try to kill me.” And so begins the final hourlong episode of The Office until the season finale. Next […]

“My Name Is Earl”: Creative Writing

October 19, 2007 Ryan Berenz

Please respect the meat, my friends. Please respect the meat. “Creative Writing” starts with Earl taking a creative writing class with some other inmates. He wants to come up with an imaginative story, but all that ever pops into his head is a male gymnast. Randy takes up a creative writing project of his own, imagining a story in which he, H.R. Pufnstuf and a chimp battle a puppet sniper, a sumo guy with a bazooka and a bunch of ninjas. But all Earl can think of is the gymnast. Joy has a story idea, too. (See where this is […]

8 Questions With … Steve-O

October 19, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor

1. What has been your strangest fan encounter? Steve-O: A friend of mine in England — I really consider him more of a friend than a fan — but there’s a guy out there that’s literally covered in tattoos of me. He’s got a lot of Steve-O tattoos. So I flew myself out to England to go tattoo my autograph on him as well. 2. You’re at a magazine rack and can pick three magazines. What are they? Well, I would rather [derive onanistic pleasure from] Maxim than, say, Hustler. I like to leave something to the imagination, so I’m going for that […]

Monster Chiller Horror Theater!

October 18, 2007 Jeff Pfeiffer

Sure it’s fun to go out around Halloween time and egg houses, set flaming bags of dog doo on porches and — oops, I mean … go trick-or-treating, make pumpkin pies … (ignore what I said earlier, kids). But it’s also fun to stay home, turn off the lights, and see what your TV has in store for you (as long as it doesn’t pull something along the lines of the boob tube in Poltergeist). With that said, there are plenty of television treats to unwrap this season for all levels of fear tolerance over the next couple of weeks: […]

ANTM: The Girl Who Is Afraid of Heights Recap

October 18, 2007 Ruth Boulet

“It’s not a good feeling, to be in the bottom two.” Were truer words ever spoken? Thank you, Saleisha. Hey, kids, they’ve thrown in a bunch of scenes that happen every cycle of America’s Next Top Model. The girls are living in a sty & someone (Janet) ‘organizes’ them. One model (in this cycle, Heather) gives her assessment of all the other girls. One model (Lisa, in this case) talks about how she overthinks everything. And, one model has a blonde moment “Spring forward? Fall back? Is it that time already?” Benny Ninja tells the girls he’s an expert at […]
