Yes, it’s another (fairly) new reality show. No fear for the anti-reality folks, though. With the premise of True Beauty, such as it is, chances are it’s only good for a season. You see, the contestants have only been told that they’re basically entering a beauty contest with challenges which eliminate a contestant each week. […]
Maybe I’m being too protective of my favorite bunch o’ geeks. This is the second time that a character I don’t care for has all of a sudden been thrust into the limelight without rhyme or reason. The first one was the doctor (who seemed so un-doctor-esque) who became Leonard’s love sex interest, then vanished. […]
(Season 2, Episode 13 – “The Friendship Algorithm”) This is getting a bit odd. Sure, I know the whole show can be a bit odd at times — that’s why I like it so much! But I’m talking character odd. First we had Leonard’s doctor-woman-sex friend for a few episodes, then she vanished. Now, a […]

As always, I contend that American Idol is more of a talent contest (or non-talent with some of the contestants) than what I’d refer to as a reality show. […]
(Season 6, Episode 13 – “Breaking News”) Oh. I forgot to mention “funny hats” in my faux-title, didn’t I? It didn’t really play a huge part in tonight’s episode although it gave the Nick Vera character some screen time. At least the show was back to a cold cold case tonight unlike last week’s lukewarm […]
It’s amazing how much useless trivia I carry around in my mind. I think a lot of folks are like me. Sometimes you just remember obscure facts you learned in junior high school decades later. Or you find that more recent news has actually seeped into your mind via osmosis or something. Jeopardy used to […]
