Gene Simmons’s Kiss of Death
I fear that The Celebrity Apprentice just took a major turn for the worse. Last night — and don't read this if you don't want to know what happened — poor Gene Simmons got fired. Scratch that, stupid Gene Simmons… Read More ›
Cashmere Mafia Doesn’t Upset Me (and There May be Something Wrong With That)
Heaven help me, I didn't hate Cashmere Mafia yesterday. I know, that should be a good thing, but for some reason it isn't. I went into the episode fully expecting to be just as displeased with it this week as… Read More ›

Terminators and Gladiators Kill – One with Bullets, the Other with Kindness

Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau, and Scott Baio Make for a Golden (Globes Free) Night
Well, it's Monday and there you are thinking to yourself, “Golly, I wonder if Josh watched TV last night.” Come on now, what kind of a silly question is that? Obviously I watched TV. It's what I do. I sat… Read More ›

Earl Celebrates Christmas in January While The Apprentice Lies
Do you know what bothers me? I mean, what really, really bothers me. Ridiculously over-the-top promos for decidedly dull moments bother me. No show on television is better at putting together a ridiculously over-the-top moment than The Apprentice. All week… Read More ›

Those Desperate Housewives go up Against American Gladiators (in my mind anyway)
Mea culpa. I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry. In yesterday's piece I didn't mention Sunday night's Desperate Housewives. I've slammed the show so much over the last year and a half that I should really talk about the bits and pieces… Read More ›
Nova Gets Cold… Damn Cold
Most people have the good sense to stay away from the extreme cold. The temperature drops below a certain point, and people do their best to warm up. Maybe they drink some hot chocolate, maybe they throw on a sweater,… Read More ›
American Gladiators take on the Cashmere Mafia
Oh, I’ll admit it, I’ll admit it happily: yes, I sat there for two hours last night and watched American Gladiators. What’s more, I liked it. Well, mostly liked it anyway. Sure, I was a fan of the original Gladiators… Read More ›
The Celebrity Apprentice and Omarosa
I have long held my tongue on my views about The Apprentice. I sat back and said nothing during the inanity that was the Los Angeles season. I watch in silence as candidate after candidate after candidate embarrassed themselves and… Read More ›
Conan, Letterman, & Co. Return!
For years I've been able to give Jay Leno the benefit of the doubt, that all ended last night. You see, I've always been a Letterman person. I never really liked Leno's brand of humor. But, I thought to myself,… Read More ›

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 or, I Wish I was Little bit Taller, I Wish I was a Baller…
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is a stellar example of what a fighting game on the Nintendo Wii can be. The graphics are clean and crisp, and look cartoon-like. There are over 150 playable characters, 10 game modes, and… Read More ›
Superbad – Yup, That’s Me
Every few years a brand new teen coming of age (sex, drugs, and/or drinking) comedy comes along. They range from the true classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High to the far less amusing Can't Hardly Wait. The recently released to… Read More ›
The WGA Strike, AMPTP, and Me
