DVD REVIEW: SEMI PRO
2008-06-04 03:43:00
SEMI PRO I didn’t watch the end.  Not because the power went out.  Not because I got the Red Ring of Death on my XBOX, Not because Dave Coulier was doing an impromptu stand up gig on my deck.  Nope.  It was because this movie was dreadfully awful. Wait, that’s not fair. Will Arnett was very funny. But as ...

The Last Two Weeks In Bullet Form!
2008-06-03 01:49:00
It was awesome that LOST came back with a great season finale.  As a whole the show has rebounded nicely, and is actually giving us viewers the info we desire, while giving more questions.  Ben is by far my favorite character.  He’s got the whole creepy Kevin Spacey vibe going on.  I still hate Matthew ...

David Cook Wins Idol and I Need The 3G IPhone
2008-05-23 01:46:00
-David Cook won and thus begins a horrible stretch of summer television.  Which actually started on Idol when ZZ Top appeared.  Was Ratt booked last night or something?  Gees, you think you could get somebody a little more current.  Archuletta gets to sing with OneRepublic and Cook gets stuck with a 80s gimmick band.  Is Dishwala still around? They would’ve been better than those dudes. -This has nothing to do with television, but I just thought I’d let you know that I really want, no wait, NEED the new 3G IPhone.  I just got an LG Vu, which is essentially an IPhoney.  I love touch screen Internet in the car.  I’m not ashamed to say that I was on Facebook, driving 70mph on the Merritt Parkway. As good as it was, it just isn’t an IPhone.  Hence, I’ll flip the Vu on Ebay towards a new IPhone.  Damn you Steve Jobs and your sexy technology!

The American Idol Is…Jim Lampley???
2008-05-21 03:14:00
American Idol went WAY overboard on the boxing references.  It all started with Michael Buffer doing the “This is American Idol” intro and then throughout the episode we get tons of Jim Lampley. Jim Lampley does not belong on American Idol. Although, I was hoping for a Simpsons tie in and having Drederick Tatum on there.  Jim Lampley spewing out cliche boxing advice on a singing show is like having Barry Gibb telling people how Oscar De La Hoya should be more soothing and mellow. The other awful thing is that Clive Davis and Andrew Lloyd Webber (as brilliant as they are) look like two creepy old dudes that hang out at a Hot Topic.  Is it possible to cast someone other than Lampley and the two old dudes from the Muppets on the most current and hip TV show?  How about Bono, Jay-Z or one of the Wiggles? Overall, sticking with the boxing metaphor, I want to punch Archuletta and his “Oh, am I really good?  Are you sure?” attitude and will some one get some sc...

5 Shows I Got Real Tired Of
2008-05-18 23:11:00
Some people can watch a series from the first episode to the very last.  Almost like a cult, except without all the fun.  But for most of us, we get into a show and then fade into the background, like an ugly girl at her prom. So here are 5 Shows I Was Real ly Into, But ...

Better David vs David Idol Finales
2008-05-15 11:57:00
So Idol is down to David Archuletta vs David Cook.  A great combo, no doubt, but I have some other David vs Davids that could possibly be better than that. David Hasselhoff vs David Hyde Pierce The Battle For Afeminate Idol Pierce will put up a good fight, but when all is said and done and ...

Last night was supposed to be a great “MUST SEE TV” night. We had the Scrubs Series Finale, the 30 Rock Season Finale, and an episode of The Office. “Can Life Get Any Better? I Submit It Can Not” - Brian Regan. SCRUBS. Because of the strike, they didn’t actually tape what they wanted to ...

TVDeuce.com Top 6 80?s Movies
2008-05-06 03:19:00
Yesterday, I watched Back To The Future, for the first time in about 10 years.  That coupled with an 80s theme day at my school, got me thinking about the best movies made in the 1980s.  The criteria is very simple, which movies still hold up well today, and that you could still watch a ...

I Hate You American Idol
2008-05-01 19:52:00
While I won’t say that last night’s vote off would rank up there with world travesties like the Hindenberg, World War One, or how guy’s capri pants aren’t seen as “cool” or “straight.”  I would like to think that America has better judgement than it showed on Idol last night. First of all, somebody shoot Neil ...

Pick My 80?s Persona!

So at the school that I teach at, we are having an 80’s day.  Now while I could bust out the Members Only Jacket, some jelly bracelets, acid washed jeans or a Winger t-shirt, I think I can pull off being a memorable 80’s TV character.  Why?  Because the children on today should be exposed ...

TVDeuce Movie Review Roundup
2008-04-21 11:57:00
For me, there really hasn’t been a lot of television on worth watching.  Sure the Office is back and 30 Rock, outside of a mediocre return episode, hit its stride again this week with another fantastic episode.  However, other than that and watching guys cutting down trees on Axe Men, I have had to look ...

Why Idol Didn?t Give Back
2008-04-10 12:40:00
I watched about half of “IDOL GIVES BACK” yesterday, and I was quite dismayed.  Not that there are starving children or gangs like the sharks and the jets are still roaming our urban streets. I was shocked that George Lopez was asked to help raise money for them.  I was ready to cut Idol a check ...

4 Ways TV Has Lied To Me
2008-04-01 13:10:00
Everybody lies.  Whether it’s about why you were late, or why there’s a poster of Brian Austin Green in your bedroom.  We all lie.  But we expect that TV shouldn’t lie to us.  But it does.  Here are 4 ways TV has lied to me. #4 - MTV MUSIC AWARDS. Every year they tell me that it will be better than ever before!  However, I find myself sitting there, unamused like I’m watching a Will Ferrell movie.  Every year they say its going to be cra-zay!  However, all I see is that the frame rate of the show doesn’t seem to be 27fps and I don’t know, who any of these people are.  Now I know why old people get scared when they leave the home! #3 - ALEX TREBEk KNOWS ALL. I thought he knew the answer to everything.  However, he does not know how to cure lepracy or how to fix the transmission of a ‘99 Ford Aspire.  So don’t ask.  He also doesn’t know that Steel Magnolias is a guilty pleasure of mine, that I only order the #2 at McDo...

The Week That Was….
2008-03-30 20:36:00
Haven’t posted much in a while, but here’s the gist of my television viewing the past week: BREAKING BAD FINALE Love the show, the finale really wasn’t good though.  I’m thinking that it wasn’t really supposed to be the finale, but that the Writer’s Strike had something to do with it.  The best part by far was when the two Meth Makers were waiting in the junk yard and the chemist puts on the hat, which was reminiscent of the one that Sammy Davis Junior gave to Dr. Huxtable on an episode of the Cosby Show.  If you haven’t seen the show(Breaking Bad, or the Cosby Show), its really worth catching on AMC. ROBOT CHICKEN A friend gave me the first season on DVD.  I haven’t watched it yet though.  Its funny, most people probably don’t care what I think about shows, never mind shows I intend to watch. JUNO Actually watched a movie this week.  I thought it was very good, but not great.  I didn’t think I’d like Juno (the...
