Chuck And Journeyman
2007-09-26 01:00:00
premier week has officially begun on nbc and monday night (last night) we got two new show premiers: Chuck and Jouneyman.Chuck: i was looking forward to this one and it was exactly what i expected. it was funny and quick and had some action all in a nice fun package. i really want to see where this one goes however. i'm hoping for an interesting through story for the series, as opposed to the more episodic type stuff where each episode is its own individual thing and the grand story arc isn't as important (ala CSI). from what i could tell from the pilot, i think that the through story could be there.Journeyman : this one, however, looks to be episodic which is disappointing. i wasn't looking forward to this show at all. some guy takes trips back in time, and there is an ex-love-of-his-life, blah, blah blah!! it sounded corny and didn't interest me. then i watched it and as it was coming to an end i had changed my mind. the relationship thing wasn't corny and he spent a...

Jimmy, Don't Go!!!
2007-09-26 00:33:00
that was the cry that rang out among the 39 other kids as 8-year-old jimmy decided to leave bonanza city after just 4 days on cbs's Kid Nation.ya, i know this thing premiered last week and the second episode is tomorrow, but i just got to it yesterday and wanted to just say a few things about it.i was actually really looking forward to this one. something about the survivor-meets-lord of the flies concept appealed to me. and what do i think after just one episode? i kind of enjoyed it. the kids are great (well, at least some of them are) and i found myself trying to see what i would have done if i had been on such a show back when i was between 8-14 years old.the personalities and characters are interesting and whoever was doing the casting over at cbs should get a pat on the back. its also funny how even with all the divisions and personality clashing, at least so far they seem to be better at getting along and working things out then grown ups are on their reality shows.i wo...

Survivor China Episode 1

watchin' and commentin'- caroline (the blond waitress from new york) - the complete ignorance and disrespect she had for the buddhist welcome ceremony was sad - if she can't control that attitude and those obviously miss-i'm-so-superiour-to-you faces she keeps making then she is going to get her cute little ass kicked off pretty quick.i mean, haven't these people seen the show before? you don't alienate yourself from the group like that. and come on: we all know the odds are you are going to have to go to your camp wearing only the clothes on your back (that means wear a bra and don't wear 20 pound boots or high heels). and speaking of things you don't do...-aaron - mr. i'm-going-to-be-the-leader-but-subtly. that is a very fine line to walk my friend, and we will see how that goes for him- james (the gravedigger) - this guy seems great. honest and genuine and quiet and built like a frickin' brick house. he seems like he might be a little to trusting, bu...

Back To You
2007-09-21 00:21:00
frasier, i mean kelsey grammer, is back on tv and after 20 years or so he is finally playing a different character (besides those great side show bob episodes on The Simpsons).last night fox premiered Back To You, starring kelsey and Everybody Loves Raymond wife patricia heaton. i actually don't have that much to say about it besides, 'it was okay'. there were some funny laugh out loud moments, and the supporting cast seems funny - especially the great fred willard. it is a solid sitcom without standing out as anything great - unlike the three sitcoms the two stars have worked on before: Cheers, Everybody Loves Raymond and Frasier. now those were three great comedies.for now i'm gonna keep it on the good 'ol tivo, but i wasn't particularly drawn in by the storyline, and unless things change it looks like it might turn into a watch-it-if-i-catch-it-and-i'm-not-watchi ng-anything-else-but-if-not-then-no-big-d eal. only time, and a couple more episodes, will tell.grade: at t...

K-Ville And Prison Break
2007-09-20 00:36:00
the new tv season has begun and we will be looking at it all as it unfolds over the next few weeks. but for now we have gotten started with the season premier Prison Brea k and the seriese premier of K-Ville - both on fox on monday nights.i have been a fan of Prison Break during its first two seasons and was looking forward to the new season, and the premier didn't disappoint.michael scofield found himself in a panamanian prison at the end of last season and that is where he starts this one - along with some other recognizable characters. and as we find out by the end of the episode, he has been put there in order to help someone escape. SWEET!!!Prison Break isn't known for its brilliant dialogue or depth of character. it is a cool, fun, exciting show that hooks you and doesn't let go and the season opener lived up to expectations. sure there are some generic characters in the prison and predictable story developments, but that is all moot. the show is fast and intense and i am l...

Last Comic Standings Worst Season Ever
2007-09-13 21:40:00
i've posted about Last Comic Standing a fair bit over the last month or two, but i wanted to just say that this has been the worst season ever. now, let me also just say that it is still lone of my favorite reality shows since i love stand-up comedy. however, compared to previous seasons this one ranks the lowest.first off they truncated the show and had fewer challenge rounds then usual. but, most important was the fact that the comedians weren't as good this season. especially the ones we ended up with in the last few.i thought they left some really funny people out of the top 20 - i can't think of their names right now, but there were a few that should have been in the top 10 that didn't make it - but moving on from there, my faves in the top 10 were: doug benson (great timing and delivery), that short british guy and amy shumer (although by the end she seemed to be running a little short on material. but she has only been doing this for about 4 years) - ralph harris had...

Grand Slam Finale
2007-09-09 01:27:00
holy crap!!!! they just finished round 2 (the numbers and logic round) and wow this is a great match so far. only 3 seconds separate them and did you see how many questions they are answering even once their clocks get under 10 seconds left?- jennings and ogis are both great, but i can't see jennings losing now that he made it through the math round and kept it so close. also, with that new current knowledge round he shoudl be able to gain some time since that is not really ogis' best subject (although he probably devised some sort of brain function to help him with that stuff)...- and i was right on. round three went to jennings big time with him banking 48 seconds. that was huge- and it's over folk - ken jennings is the Grand Slam champ and deservedly so. - it would have been fun if it had been closer going into the final round, but three of the first four rounds were really close and it was a good match overall.

Haim Is A Pain
2007-08-30 01:06:00
i started watching a&e's The Two Coreys just for the heck of it. i am not a huge fans of the coreys, and actually was never even a big fan of The Lost Boys. but the premise sounded fun enough and so i checked it out. and here is what i have learned...- corey feldman has a super hot wife. i mean, did you see that episode when she was posing for those photos for the magazine? ans she also seems smart and sweet and pretty understanding and patient (to put of with haim living there)... so, well done feldman.- as for haim. this guy is an inconsiderate, immature baby. i know he has been through a lot of shit and i know that must have been hard, but this guy only cares about one person... himself. the way he talks to feldmans wife is crazy, and for feldman to have put up with it as long as he did was something else and shows how much he cares for haim and feels that their long friendship means a lot. i felt bad for feldman having to be in the middle of his wife and his best friend - anyon...

2007-08-30 01:00:00
you might remember a few weeks back when i mentioned that dennis miller and amanda byram hadn't changed their outfits during the episodes for all 2 weeks of the first round matches.i also mentioned that i thought that they might change clothes for the second round matches which would have been filmed on a subsequent day. well i was right. they did. and based on the previews of the third round matches it looks like they changed them again for those.

Speed Laughing
2007-08-20 01:43:00
i just watched last weeks episode of Last Comic Standing and, ya i know it aired like 5 days ago and unless you go online you won't be able to see it, but, damn that was some funny shit.the challenge this week was speed laughing. each comedian had 1-minute in a booth with a person and they had to make them laugh. then at the end the booth people would pick who they liked best.so here's the kicker though. the comedians thought they were getting hot Deal Or No Deal chicks, but three of the girls were secretly switched out for a drag queen, a nun and twinkie the clown. - let the comedy ensue, and ensue it did. not only were some of their 'routines' funny, but their reactions and interview jokes about the situation were hysterical as well.i'm pretty sure the ratings for the show have been going down since season one, but for anyone who likes comedy and stand-up comedy this is still a very funny hour of tv and its too bad they have had to rush it like they have (only 3 or 4 comp...

$500 000 Worth Of The Truth
2007-08-16 00:54:00
ok, i know i should be appalled by this, but i find it very intriguing, albeit mostly in a guilty-pleasure type way.fox has just gotten themselves the u.s. rights to the huge columbian tv hit, Nothing But The Truth . wait, you haven't heard how the game works yet. this is the best part.- contestants are hooked up to a lie detector and asked 21 questions. if they answer all 21 questions truthfully (according to the lie detector) then they walk away with $500 000. it might sound easy, but the questions do get more and more personal and delicate as they go along. it might start off with a question like 'do you like your mother in law' and eventually get to 'have you ever cheated on your spouse?'and of course the contestants family will be in the audience with cameras catching every reaction.

John From Cincinnati Cancelled
2007-08-15 00:55:00
crap!!! hbo has announced that they have cancelled the very good John From Cincinnati after one season. this sucks... not only was it a good show, but it had been getting better as the season has progressed.this isn't the first time david milch (the brilliant creator of the show) has had a show cancelled by hbo. he was also the man behind Deadwood - at least that show made it through season threei know they are getting desperate for another big, marquee-type show with the end of The Sopranos and before that Six Feet Under and Sex And the City before that. and with other networks like showtime and fx on their heels with some high-quality programming of their own. however, that doesn't make it all better.anyway, i guess there isn't much more to say here beyond my disappointment with hbo

Nine And Prosperity Gone Again
2007-08-15 00:43:00
The Nine and Knights Of Prosperity were two of the best new shows to premier last season and they were also two of the quickest cancelled due to poor ratings (come on people, we need to support quality tv).anyway, abc decided to bring them both back recently and burn off the remaining episodes they had left, but after a couple airings they have decided to even cut that short and both are now done for good (until dvd i assume).this is disappointing of course, as it was great to see 'Knights' back if only for a short time, although it was frustrating to be laughing so much and knowing that it was already over and not coming back next season.add to those two shows, Daybreak and The Black Donnelleys and you had a season of some really good shows that the networks got rid of way to fast. it makes me sad.let's hope this upcoming season brings us some good shows that get a chance to grab an audience before the short-sighted and scared networks give it the axe.

Can't They Change Clothes?
2007-08-14 00:57:00
so i was watching Grand Slam this weekend, and i still love it. however, i noticed that dennis miller and amanda byram have worn the same clothes for all four episodes so far. miller even made a joke about it on one of the last episodes.but i was just wondering why they don't have them change outfits. sure we know that they recorded all the shows in one day (or at least the opening round episodes that have aired the last two weekends), but couldn't they give them a few minutes to change clothes.not that is really bugs me that much. actually it doesn't really bother me at all. but, it was just something that i noticed and decided to mention. i'm thinking that since next weekend we start the second round matches that maybe they filmed those the next day and therefor miller and bynum will have something else to wear.we shall see.

HBO Is On The Ball, Again.
2007-08-11 00:38:00
allen ball, the creator of the great Six Feet Under is returning to hbo with a new show called True Blood. according to Zap2It the series is ' based on charlaine harris' Southern Vampire novels, about a Louisiana waitress (anna paquin) who can read minds in a world where vampires and werewolves are no longer hiding out in legends, but are just as likely to be your neighbor.'sounds kind of interesting to me, but given that it is allen ball i would be interested in it no matter what the premise. kind of like how i was all excited about John From Cincinnati because of david milch even though the outline of the show didn't sound that exciting (it's a really good show by the way).
