Manny: the only truly great thing about super overrated ABC sitcom Modern Family is the creepily mature, naively proud and generally delightful stepson/uncle/brother Manny (Rico Rodriguez). One Tree Hill: Julian’s adventures into brohood, Nathan’s willing decent from superman status, Brooke/Haley bonding time, some fun Skills moments and a good campfire nanny Carrie story= one very […]

Since Brothers & Sisters‘ first season back in 2006, Matthew Rhys has been one of my favourite people on television. His complicated and endearing character Kevin Walker has also been a favourite, as well as one half of TV’s best couple: Kevin and Scotty. The 34-year-old masks an accent and tackles English as a second […]

Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday premiered tonight (alongside a decent season premiere for The Office and a promising series premiere for Joel McHale’s new show Community) and it exceeded expectations (which, in all fairness, weren’t particularly high). The episode as a whole was just average (the concept of an overflow Weekend Update segment on […]

Obsessions of the Week: August 13th

If you are, like me, a low life who can think of no better way to occupy their summer than to watch hours and hours of mindless TV, may I recommend that you try and take in a little reality check each week. The Soup is the perfect foil to the hours of reality TV […]

  Kelly Bedard

A good old-fashioned baseball movie from the early 90s that features all sorts of wonderful television stars: including The West Wing‘s Tim Busfield (Danny), Gilmore Girls‘ Scott Patterson (Luke) and Samantha Who‘s Kevin Dunn (Howard aka Sam’s dad). Hey, if my team’s not doing well I have to have someone to root for right? Hence […]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is not only the incomparably engaging (and beautifully dimpled) star of my new favourite movie of the summer (500 Days of Summer) but he is also the star of my favourite sports movie of all time (Angels in the Outfield) and my favourite teen movie of all time (10 Things I Hate About […]

Must Say More: Obsessions 2.0
  Kelly Bedard

Brian Williams is the funniest guy that most people assume isn’t funny. He tells Jon Stewart that he looked up to Walter Cronkite like Jon looked up to Carrot Top. The Hangover unexpectedly stands up to a second viewing- who knew I would love this movie? Not me, that’s for sure. But my love of […]
