The Amazing Race: Losers and Winners

THE LOSERS Well, stereotypes certainly took a beating this year as the nerdy Asian brains took the prize, the deaf kid made the finals, the short guys triumphed at every physical challenge and the cheerleaders and flight attendants made fewer mental mistakes than the Harvard elite. That said, I’m going to call every school but […]

Obsessions
 

Emma Stone– She was the saving grace of the underwhelming Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a highlight of The House Bunny and played one of the only relatable characters in Superbad. The girl is a serious talent and she’s here to stay. Dubbed Disney- the mad editing skills of “Fantachan” make the Random Disney Crap YouTube […]

 

This week, Grey’s Anatomy turned 100… in style. They celebrated with big drama, big trauma, balloons, flowers, sex and wedding cake. But something was burried in all the hoopla, my favourite stuff in fact. The episode previous, episode 99, was small. It was about family and forgiveness and some flimsy metaphor about “saying you’re sorry”. […]

My TV Question of the Day

Why Can’t Anyone on The Amazing Race Swim? This week they had to endure a foot massage and then swim a 400m relay in a clean, standard length pool- explain to me why this is so hard!

RIP Bea
 

More sad news for the world of television: Golden Girls actress Bea Arthur died of cancer this week at the age of 86. The dry-witted actress will be greatly missed but her memory will live on in hundreds of hours of classic sitcom moments on both Golden Girls and Maude.

I Can’t Say Enough
 

… about the Friday Night Lights season finale (which aired on NBC on Friday). It was beautiful, touching, honest and bittersweet. The show isn’t afraid to say goodbye to beloved characters but isn’t making us part with all of them just yet either. And, never a show to be stuck in a rut, even coach […]

 

There’s lots to be excited about this week, so I’m getting a jump on “Obsessions” (as well as making up for almost never writing this feature, when it’s supposed to be weekly). MY BOYS: last week’s episode had me in stitches. I couldn’t be happier that it’s back. BETTER OFF TED: still loving it. THE […]

 

If you sat through this week’s episode of 90210, you now understand the definition of “ridiculous”. 90210already has trouble with believability; the main characters on this show are in high school, yet they are able to do as they please; the parent involvement is dismal, at best. However, I’ve grown accustomed to this altered reality […]
