Chasing Tail on History, recaps for “Deer Camp,” “No Smoking”

You can see how people wonder if Chasing Tail on History is for real, as the idea of an open hunting season taking place in some of the wealthiest residential neighborhoods in Connecticut certainly seems farfetched. But, Chasing Tail (Thursdays at 10pm ET on History) is indeed real for upscale Connecticut neighborhoods that have been overrun by white-tail deer. The show’s website lists that in Connecticut alone there are an estimated 18,000 deer killed in vehicle collisions along roadways each year. That averages out to 49 crashes per day caused by deer, which result in some $28 million in damage. […]

Louis C.K.: Oh My God shows HBO audiences the comic’s more confident side

Louis C.K.: Oh My God Saturday, April 13 HBO, 10pm ET/PT To say Louis C.K. has been on a roll is an understatement. The past few years have seen the once-journeyman comic strike it big with a series of highly successful standup specials and a series on FX that has become a bona fide TV revelation. But with the announcement that Louie won’t return until 2014, the best rabid Louis C.K. fans (I’ll unapologetically count myself in that number) have to look forward to is an entirely new hour of standup. Oh My God probably isn’t his best hour — […]

The all-new episode premieres at 9pm ET/PT on OWN.

Kesha MTV reality show reveals “My Crazy Beautiful Life”

Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life Tuesday, April 23 MTV, 11pm ET I’ll admit that when the publicists scheduled my interview with Ke$ha for 10:20am I wondered if maybe that meant she was on the other side of the world. Because hey, if you buy into her public persona, that would lead you to believe the hard-partying pop star would still be sleeping off the previous night’s activities, or perhaps brushing her teeth with a bottle of Jack. But no, she was stateside and decidedly coherent as she spoke with me about her upcoming MTV docu-series, Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life. […]

Stalkers: Lifetime movie is serious Saturday night fun

If the perpetually gloomy weather has you contemplating a Saturday night on the sofa with some popcorn and your PJs, Lifetime has the perfect TV movie to occupy your time. Based on a true story and starring Drea de Matteo, Mena Suvari and Jodi Lyn O’Keefe, Stalkers takes the woman-in-peril theme that the network does so well and amps it up with genuine scares and tough-cookie ladies who carry the show. Well, and also, Henry Simmons (NYPD Blue) to look at, which makes everything that much better if you ask me. Originally tapped as a possible back-door pilot, a la […]

Not with all that talk about uncovering the secrets of the origins of the universe, with just a slight chance of creating a black hole and instantly ending all life on earth. I won’t pretend to fully (or much less than partially) understand the science behind it all, but it’s […]
