Well, the CBS heavy-hitters in the reality genre returned this past week. Yes, I’m talking Survivor and The Amazing Race, not Big Brother. Last year’s winter version of BB was only due to the writers’ strike and that show continues to be a guilty pleasure of the summer. That’s just as well. When all three […]
The 24 mole. Got any theories on who the FBI mole is on 24? I’m thinking it’s Larry Moss. The guy has some serious stability issues, and not just because his girlfriend Renee was missing and presumed dead. I think Larry is masking a guilty conscience and that’s why he sweats so much.

Dear Simon, Paula, Randy and Kara, Apparently your producers value weirdness more than talent. I say producers because I can’t possibly believe that you are responsible for three people making the top 36 that just plain shouldn’t be there. First, Norman Gentle, or whatever his real name is.

I can tell you the answer to that question in one word: drama. The Powers That Be at American Idol mistakenly think that makes for good TV, so they throw in this obnoxious group competition. I’m here to tell them why they’re wrong. No one wants to see the sleep-deprived divas blubber and whine. We […]
And he is Barry Manilow. Yes, that is what struck me most about American Idol tonight (actually, it was pretty fun to see the talent pool that we missed during the hokey auditions). I’m not sure whether it’s because Barry Manilow has had way too much plastic surgery and he looks like he’s thirty, or […]
