Do the execs at Coca Cola think we’ve forgotten about their product? Do they think that out in this vast world there is someone who doesn’t know what that brown fizzy liquid is? And lets say that person exists (they don’t), then he/she must in a pretty damn remote location and is certainly not watching American Idol. So, enough with the not-so-subliminal logos during American Idol, Coke! I almost had a seizure from the goddamn Coca Cola logo flashing before my eyes 7000 times within 2 hours. Stop it! Or, so help me God, I will switch over to Fanta! What’s that? Fanta is owned by Coke. Seriously? DAMN IT! …more..

Season 4, Episode 17: “Freeluc.com”
Original airdate: 3/15/10
This week we were treated to a surprisingly uncluttered, straight-forward chapter of Brothers & Sisters. Of course, I’m still reeling from the Big Love season finale so among the other things I’m currently finding uncluttered are the back of my closet, the plot of Gosford Park and Grey Gardens. Moving right along…
We open this episode post-coitus, and I’m talking about directly post-coitus; like gasping, breathless giggling and tangled sheets. Seems a bit unnecessary, but it gets Luc to appear “naked” yet again, so…pass. …more..

- Mark is “lonely” and “unhappy” but claims not to know what the word “dating” means. Whatever dude. You’re a smart guy, you can figure it out.
- Apparently the Arizona curse has rubbed off on Callie, because Callie has taken it upon herself to butt into Mark’s life and tell him that he should go out with Teddy. But not just go out. She thinks they should get married and have babies. I don’t know why she would think this would work, seeing as though they’ve never expressed any attraction toward each other in the past, but Mark goes along with it.

I’m gonna be straight with you America, you messed up. You eliminated Lilly Scott and kept Lacey ‘shaky voice’ Brown! Why? Is it because Lilly looks like Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner? Because we could’ve fixed that, it was so NOT a good enough reason to send one the absolute best performers of the season home. And Todrick and Alex? You toss them but keep Aaron and Tim? Oh, so many wrong choices. The fourth person eliminated was Katelyn, who I wasn’t really crazy about, but was at least more interesting than Paige or Lacey, so I’m inclined to see this one as a mistake too. You’re zero for four America! I think this season just got way less watchable. …more..

This is the season of quirky, indie girls and it’s also the season of, um, how do I put this delicately… candy ass, adorable-in-the-wrong-way, ‘sensitive’ rockers.
Great
Mike – Rocked the house with a committed performance of “This Woman’s Work” by Maxwell. He has a killer R&B voice and even rocked the falsetto. I don’t think anyone can argue with Big Mike’s ascendancy to the top of the group. Week after week he delivers well sung and entertaining performances, he’s the only one in the guy group that is consistently fun to watch. We never have to worry about him screwing up notes or choosing a really dull song, the dude can perform! …more..

- Never have I needed the “Previously on 90210” so much. I feel like I haven’t seen this show in forever. And, honestly, I didn’t miss it.
- Liam and Naomi haven’t seen each other in two weeks and it’s awkward when they finally see each other in person. Well, that’s what you get when you communicate solely via text message for weeks at a time. Ah, kids today.
- Annie’s been in Las Vegas for two weeks. Ugh, I can’t imagine being in Vegas for two weeks. Three days is my limit.

- Violet and Cooper went to Costa Rica for two weeks? That’s weird. They’re doctors—they can’t just unexpectedly up and disappear to South America.
- What’s weirder—Cooper comes back, all Zen, and Violet doesn’t come with him. How long is she gonna stay there??
- Sheldon is covering Violet’s patients while she’s gone and he really goes above and beyond. He actually plans to fly to San Francisco with one of them, until she flips out and demands to be let off the plane. So… does he get paid hourly to fly to faraway cities with patients or what? Seems a little over-the-top to me.

I thought this was the best episode in a long time. Here’re my bullet points:
- What’s with Arizona taking it upon herself to be in charge of everyone else’s personal matters? Last episode she was all about convincing Bailey to go out with Hot Sexy Anesthesiologist, and this week she tells Teddy, quite matter-of-factly, that they are friends now. Oh wait, I get it. Arizona and Callie are in a happy relationship, therefore there’s no drama, therefore Arizona has no better storyline opportunities.

Ok, folks, we’re halfway to Bryant Park, and it seems that most of the fat has been trimmed—we’re down to nothing but pretty talented designers. This season sure does have a lot more talent than last season!
This week’s challenge is announced by Tim Gunn and everyone’s favorite judge Michael Kors at the Michael Kors store in Soho. They tell the designers that they won’t be going to Mood this week, and, rather, will be shopping solely at a hardware store. While I do find this exciting, I am a bit confused why they had to go all the way to the Michael Kors store in Soho to find out this news. What’s the correlation between Michael Kors and hardware stores? Anyone? Seems to me the more logical explanation is that Michael Kors worked a little product placement and self-promotion into his Project Runway contract this year and the producers had to follow-through with their deal. …more..

Season 4, Episode 9
Original airdate: 3/7/10
Plot:
The season finale of Big Love sets out to do what every season finale of this show attempts: to show how much one show can accomplish in an hour. Right away we can say that Lois, Frank, Jodeen, Joey and Sarah do not appear in the episode, while Ben, Cara Lynn and Wanda barely speak and Alby is relegated to a few short scenes. It’s saying something that you can remove seven series regulars and two major guest stars from the arc of your show and still deliver an hour that feels overstuffed and rushed. I’m just saying. Aaaaanyway…I’ll save the commentary (and the news of why I am ANGRY at this episode) for later. …more..

This season is turning into battle of the coffee house hippie chicks. I’d say all the top girls except for Paige and Katie are basically indie singers who somehow wandered into the American Idol audition line while searching for the nearest organic fruit stand. If this trend continues vintage stores all across the land will sell out of their knee length print dresses and colorful hair accessories. …more..

Again, my sincere apologies for being outrageously late with this post. I’ve been sick, and couldn’t manage to force my brain to think and my fingers to type. It won’t happen again!
Anyway, I don’t have much to say about this episode, aside from the fact that it’s absolutely ridiculous for a couple of fifteen-year-olds to get married in this day and age. I don’t care if there’s a pregnancy involved. I don’t care what the circumstances. Naomi may be crazy when it comes to most other emotional issues in her life, but she’s right about this one. …more..

Ahhh, a flashback episode. Although the writers seem to think otherwise, showing us the characters’ pasts doesn’t effectively distract us from the fact that the story is not moving even a little bit forward throughout the entire episode. If you ask me, writers, I don’t care about what happened before. I care what is happening now. But I guess you’re not asking me, huh? …more..

Before we launch into the normal brawl of me apologizing for being late with this recap, and you silently judging my overscheduled life from the other side of the computer, how about we skip that stuff and just get into a good, old fashioned, bulleted list like mama used to make?
- Tenley made a great impression with his family.
- Jake’s dad is Sir Cries A Lot, huh? Seems like a sweet dude, though.

10 women entered the Coco Cola Vitamin Water Aural Delight Auditorium and only 8 will make it out alive! I have no further introductory statements so let’s just get to the singers:
Great
Crystal Bowersox – She became The One To Beat tonight. She overcame her illness (which according to the interwebs is Diabetes) and totally rocked a gospel inspired rendition of “As Long As I Can See the Light” by Credence Clearwater Revival. She is classy, cool and -best of all- didn’t play the sympathy card at all. She didn’t need to, she has some killer pipes. The judges loved her so much that Randy stopped using his words and blathered something incomprehensible about reality TV and truth and how Crystal is truth because she lives in reality. That’s dope, dawg. …more..

The Plot
Most of the main plot points of the episode are all laid out in almost bullet point fashion within the first 3 minutes as the Henrickson family gathers around the giant table for a rib n’ fixins dinner and all the secrets and neuroses come bubbling to the surface.
- Someone has to tell Nicki that Joey killed Roman
- Everyone except Bill finds out that Marge got married to Goran the Slavic hottie
- Sarah announces that she is moving to Portland
- Nicki comes to dinner dressed as Chloe Sevigny
All this before anyone gets to the ribs! At least Barb waits until after dinner to unfold plot point # 5
- She tells Bill that she misguidedly hired Marilyn Densham to represent the casino and that crazy bitch is screwing them over.

The ladies were scheduled to sing but Crystal Bowersox is in the hospital and couldn’t go on tonight. It’s a bummer that she’s ill and I hope she’ll be well enough to rock the house tomorrow night. Luckily the guys were ready to perform and actually, on a whole, they did a much better job than last week – they really stepped it up tonight. Most of them sang much better this week, all of them seemed to have shaken off those nerves that were killing them last time. How they managed to shake off the nervousness that comes from having 20 million people watch you sing is beyond me, but hey, that’s why I’m on the couch and they’re in the Coca Cola Song Coliseum. …more..

Season 4, Episode 16: “Leap of Faith”
Original airdate: 2/28/10
Well, I threatened to say it last week, and now I have to follow through: Brothers & Sisters is having a total late-season creative rejuvenation. While I’m not going to say that this episode reached the heights of the last two, this was still a flat-out solid episode of television; David Marshall Grant, it looks like you and I are going to get along just fine.
Look, any time that the writers and producers of this show manage to make me care about Justin and Rebecca two weeks in a row, they’re on a tear. They’ve been on point with the whole handling of this miscarriage; it’s been quiet and subtle, without any of the over-the-top drama that has been the hallmark of this show since the de-Walkering of Rebecca in Season Two. …more..

“They share the same dream…this was the opportunity they longed for but their destiny is unclear…all will be fighting to secure their spot in history”
Okay Seacrest, calm down. How about we bring the hyperbole down 5 or 6 notches.
I have another confession to make. I’ve never seen an elimination episode of Idol. I have seen season finales, does that count? It’s just that the idea of watching bloated, Seacrest-heavy, embarrassing-group-routine featuring episodes breaks my soul a little. I hate the idea of spending an hour watching something that should take 10 minutes. But tonight I did it, I did it for y’all… and you know what? It wasn’t so bad. Sure, the top 24 singing “American Boy” was pretty awful. That song already sounds like a cheesy Manilow throw away even when Estelle sings it, adding the uninspired vocal styling’s of Didi Benami and Alex Lambert doesn’t help. …more..

We’re back at the Coca Cola Song Time Jamboree for the top 12 men. While this year’s batch of boys is noticeably weaker in talent than the ladies, there are still a few strong contenders in the mix and I’m hoping for a surprise or two to emerge as the season progresses (I’m lookin’ at you Big Mike). I know this is gonna be a fun night because Randy broke out the Cosby sweater, Simon looks like the cover of a middle aged romance novel, and Kara took some time off from her post-apocalyptic motorcycle gang to be here with us… Ellen is the only one who didn’t dress like an embarrassing parent. But enough about the judges, lets talk about the dudes! …more..

I love these early stages of the show when it’s all about possibility and witnessing the birth of a star. It’s also a hoot to sit on my couch, pop open a beer, stick my hand in a bag of chocolate chip cookies and mercilessly judge the contestants – that’s MY American Dream. …more..

So I didn’t post a recap for last week’s episode (during which Gia was booted). Stop looking at me that way—I was BUSY! I can hardly afford to heat this basement apartment and we don’t have a dishwasher, so I shower with the dirty plates & pots & pans—no wait, that’s a storyline from an episode of “Diff’rent Strokes” when Willis & Arnold talk about where they came from. Either way—I’VE BEEN BUSY! GET OFF MY ASS! [Shoves a French fry into face, Chris Farley as “Gap Girl”-style.] …more..

Season 4, Episode 7
Original airdate: 2/21/10
Plot Summary:
Big Love finally started to bring some of it’s spiraling plot-lines together last night, most significantly Lois and Co’s ill-fated trip south of the border.
The show opens with Bill and Joey heading to Mexico…clearly, Bill has received word that his family has landed in the soup, and just as clearly he has chosen not to share the information with his wives, as Barb harangues him on the phone that she can’t take care of the casino and the campaign alone. Bill feeds her a story about going to nail down contracts for Home Plus, and then he and Joey meet up with Jodean in Mexico and go to the local police. I’m not certain how Jodean escaped capture last week, but she’s free, and she quickly reveals to Joey that not only was Lois smuggling birds, but Frank was using the trip to smuggle guns. When the local police prove to be less then helpful, and when Bill’s expected arrogance rears it’s ugly head, they prove less than sympathetic as well. …more..

Well, I’ll be…that’s the second excellent episode of B & S in a row. One more and I’m going to start talking creative resurgence! Of course, the last show that underwent a creative resurgence on ABC was my beloved Ugly Betty, and it got the axe a few weeks ago, so maybe that’s not all a good thing. But anyway, on with the show!
The main plot tonight swirled around Kitty and the announcement of her run for Robert’s Senate seat. Cheryl Hines made her return as Kitty’s frenemy, the unfortunately named Buffy McCreary (a name never more frustrating than when Robert and Kitty said “Buffy” about seven times in a row, and I started looking for a stake to fight the vampires), and strong-arms her way into the job of Kitty’s campaign manager. …more..

Oh boy, a kid challenge. The designers have to create outfits for little girls. At least the girls aren’t the clients—they’re just the models. So the designers don’t have to take the kids’ opinions into consideration. Thank goodness, because that would have been disastrous. They’ve got one day and 50 bucks to complete the challenge—but wait! On day two, Tim Gunn tells them that they’re going to have to create a companion look for their regular models. Oh jeez, there’s nothing worse than matchy-matchy mommy-daughter outfits. Blech. …more..

Original airdates: 2/16 & 17/10
How does American Idol get away with it? How do reality shows get their major ratings with crap like this week’s episodes? Every scripted show -no matter how trite or poorly written- at least presents you with 30 to 60 minutes of actual plot, character development, hacky jokes, etc. Why? Because they HAVE to! No scripted show is allowed to take 13 minutes of actual show and somehow drag it out over three goddamn hours of schlock. How American Idol fills half its season with the most useless waste of TV airtime since Ross Perot took to the airwaves and STILL manages to get the highest ratings in all the land is a mystery worthy of Nancy Drew. …more..

Ok, moving on. This was a huge episode. Tons happened. We begin with Elena waking up in a random motel room with Ben. She’s on the bed, he’s asleep in a chair. After her attempt to escape fails, she gets thrown into the bathroom, and realizes that Bonnie’s in there, asleep in the tub! Question: Why did they put Elena on the bed but throw Bonnie in the tub? There was a whole other bed going unused. Why bother paying for a double room if you’re not gonna make use of both beds? That’s just wasteful. …more..

“You people are so damn complicated!” — Ana
The Plot:
While having dinner with the Republican Party chairman for Utah, Bill and Barb run into their ex-wife Ana (Branka Katic) who is waitressing at the restaurant and very much pregnant with Bill’s child. Barb tells the other wives –well, she tells Nicki while turning a cold shoulder to Margie- and the three of them go back to the restaurant to confront/welcome back Ana. Ana is overwhelmed to see Barb (eager), Nicki (suspicious) and Margie (concerned) sitting at her station and tells them she doesn’t want anything to do with them. Ana goes to see Bill at his office and tells him that she is willing to work out visitation rights in exchange for some money to help her with the pregnancy, as long as she deals with Bill only and not the wives. …more..

We begin the episode with Derek, Meredith, Owen, and Cristina in Derek’s car, presumably on their way to a Valentine’s Day double date. This is weird to me, as I just don’t see any of these people as the Valentine’s Day double date types. Naturally, this detour into conformity doesn’t last long, because a restaurant has collapsed and the docs are needed back at the hospital to help out with the emergency. There are lots of sub-stories about the victims of the building collapse, but we’ll just focus on our favorite doctors and their always drama-filled lives. …more..

Often, while I’m watching Private Practice, I sit there and wonder just what the hell was going through the writers’ heads when they decided a certain storyline would be a good idea. Well, this week that happened more than once.
The first storyline that had me rolling my eyes was the vampire plot. Ok, I get that vampires are a big part of pop culture right now, what with Twilight and The Vampire Diaries and True Blood and whatnot, but why on earth did Private Practice feel the need to jump on the bandwagon? You can just see the writers sitting around a big table going, “Ohh, yeah, vampires! That’s topical! We’re hip!” Gimme a break. …more..

The challenge is being built up as one of the biggest in the history of Project Runway and the prize for the winner as being “unprecedented.” Well, I have to admit I was expecting something bigger, but the prize actually does turn out to be pretty cool. Way cooler than last week’s prize of having a Campbell’s Soup logo-encrusted dress worn to a Campbell’s Soup event. This week, the winning design will be worn on the cover of the April issue of Marie Claire magazine by none other than Ms. Heidi Klum herself. After she’s popped that baby out, of course. …more..

Group day is always such an entertaining episode in the American Idol season calendar. It’s the chance to watch people with enough confidence/ego to imagine themselves as the next Great Big American Star as they attempt to work well with others… and the results are usually a hoot. The high drama and even higher hysteria must be why the producers do it because it doesn’t really move the elimination process much, as evidenced by the fact that the judges only cut 25 people out of 96. We gotta whittle this group down to 24 hopefuls, judges. Lets get a move on! …more..

Every season on Project Runway, there’s a “Very Special Episode.” You know, like the Very Special sitcom episodes of yore. Well, this week is that episode… but it all seems a little weird this time around. The designers must create outfits for “very inspirational women.” They tell us a million times that these women are very inspirational. They have all been affected by heart disease. Yes, I agree that, like all life-threatening illnesses, heart disease is a terrible thing to have to deal with. But I don’t know if these women are very inspirational. What are they inspiring me to do? Not get heart disease? Well, I wasn’t aiming to do that anyway. …more..

I usually hate flashbacks (I’m more of a “let’s get the story moving forward; who cares about what happened in the past” kinda gal), but on The Vampire Diaries, I love flashbacks. Not only are the flashbacks just as entertaining as everything else that goes on on the show, but they fill in the details and spaces and answer our questions. So, let’s focus first on the flashbacks….
Mystic Falls, 1864:
Even though Katherine hasn’t changed Stefan or Damon yet, she’s showing them the ropes of vampire life. Her friend Pearl comes to warn Katherine that the townspeople are growing wise to the fact that vampires are around. And, of course, both Jonathan Gilbert and Giuseppe Salvatore (played by Sex and the City and Dexter star James Remar!!) are leading the hunt. …more..

Yes, this week was hometown dates and yes, I will use any opportunity to quote the Guns ‘n Roses masterwork, “Paradise City.”
First stop: Motherf-ing New York City! Gia’s hometown, though I’ve heard that she’s actually from Long Island, but whatever. I grew up in a town that is just outside of Boston (exact location: somewhere between the fifth and sixth circles of hell), but I tell people I’m from Boston to keep it simple. Either way, NBC can’t resist shots of the NYC skyline and Jake can’t resist Gia’s sweet nature and equally (supposedly) awkward childhood. Her family is a delightful combination of Jersey Shore/The Sopranos and Jake seems a bit bewildered. Gia’s relationship with her mother is super sweet, though. Their talk about having each others backs and the importance of loyalty really struck me and actually got me choked up. I had had a long day and was drinking red wine, mmmmK? …more..

Well it’s about time. We’ve finally landed at the Kodak Theater for round one of the Vitamin Water Singing Talent Jamboree™ where the judges whittle down the contestants from 181 to 90-something (I wasn’t paying attention) in a ‘sudden death’ round that’s not at all ‘sudden death’ and really just more of a plain old ‘audition’. The big story tonight is the addition of Ellen DeGeneres who is taking over for Drunky McGee in the role of ‘Nice Judge’. She is also bringing some of the humor lost when Drunky left, of course it will be different in that we’ll mostly be laughing with Ellen and not so much at her. …more..
