Have you ever seen Justin TV? If you haven’t, Justin TV is an online video site that allows anyone with a computer and a webcam to broadcast their life 24/7 if they so choose. It was started a year ago by 23 year old Justin Kan of San Francisco. This week it [...]

“Idol,” & “Dancing” - Thinning The Herd

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

This is a reality TV combo post. Over the last two days, there were big eliminations on “American Idol” and “Dancing With The Stars,” and I’m barely able to keep up with all of them, but I’ll try.
First “Dancing With The Stars.” As I said last week, I’m really jazzed about this year’s [...]

Hollywood’s Post Strike Funk

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

According to this article in Monday’s Variety (via TV Tattle) Hollywood, especially the TV industry is in a post writer’s strike funk. Part of it was to be expected, the usual spring pilot season was thrown into chaos by the three month plus long strike. As the article says:
On the TV side, dramatically [...]

“American Idol:” The Match Game

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Okay so last week I only got two predictions correct. That was that someone would sing, “Michelle” and someone else would sing, “Yesterday.” I was just wrong about who sang what. This week, let’s see if I can do better.
It was announced last week that this season’s mentors will include Andrew Lloyd [...]

Here Come “The Tudors”

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Last weekend on the advice of my good friend Kay, I watched all ten episodes of the first season of “The Tudors.” Of course I’d heard about this Showtime show about the young Henry VIII, played with glorious hotness by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, but I only got Showtime a few weeks ago and I [...]

Friday, March 21st, 2008

The feminist website, Feministing has a channel on YouTube and one of their weekly features is a Friday Feminist F*ck You.
Last Friday’s very appropriate FFFY was directed at Dr. Laura Schlessinger. That’s because during that whole Eliot Spitzer prostitution mess Dr. Laura came out and said that if a man cheats on his wife, it’s [...]

The Ladies Of “Dancing With The Stars”

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

When the cast of this season’s “Dancing With The Stars” was announced, I was jazzed about the women. Several of them are favorites of mine and I couldn’t wait to see how they did on the dance floor. Well Tuesday night they got their chance to shake it up, and I wasn’t [...]

A One Hour “Saturday Night Live?”

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Hell yes!
Finally, someone has put forth an idea whose time has come: a one hour “Saturday Night Live.”
Hallelujah!
It’s like someone proclaiming the emperor is buck naked, because the truth is “SNL” hasn’t been funny since the last century. And even then it was hit and miss. Part of the reason why? Every [...]

“American Idol:” Lennon & McCartney, The Sequel

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

If you liked the Lennon & McCartney show last week then you’ll be happy to know that tonight will be “Lennon & McCartney, The Sequel.”
I have no idea who’s singing what, but I thought I would make a couple of predictions:

Someone, probably David Archuleta will sing “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.” Probably badly.
Someone, [...]
