Spoiled Brat Shows Have Not Gone Bad Yet

Why is it that we, as a society, are so obsessed with watching other people with bottomless pockets throw away their money? I never realized how many shows there are out there that focus on what can only be called “spoiled brats”. These past few years there have been an excess of reality programming documenting the lives of these spoiled brats.  The first one to come to mind is, of course, FOX’s Simple Life, which stars …

An Open Letter To Britney Spears

Dear Britney: I’ve seen all the bad press you’ve been receiving lately and I know that it has really gotten to you.  Access Hollywood has been promoting your upcoming interview with Matt Lauer all week.  I often feel bad that I pay US Weekly good money to publish all those bad stories about you—but for some reason I just can’t tear my eyes away from all your photos.  Those tear-stained eyes…your poor son looking helpless. …

Gilmore Girls Take a Turn for the Worst

Lately it has been somewhat disappointing watching episode reruns of “The Gilmore Girls” on ABC Family.  The show started out so well until around the end of the fourth season.  Aspects of the show started to go downhill, such as the storyline and character personalities.  Just watching the past seasons on ABC Family can be depressing if you know what happens next.  Conflicts between Lorelai and Rory also began to surface in the later seasons …

Has “Rescue Me” Gone Too Far?

Rescue Me began as a poignant, honest look inside the life of a post 9-11 NYC firefighter, but those days have gone up in smoke. Denis Leary’s pet project has officially become a prime-time guilty pleasure soap opera. This season is already full of incestuous romantic relationships- Tommy Gavin’s co-worker is dating his sister, his wife is sleeping with his brother, not to mention his ongoing relationship with his “sister-in-law”- that leave us wondering if there …

Does OCD Really Help Solve Crime? “Monk” Tells Us Yes, But “The Closer” Proves Otherwise

I’ve been watching a lot of reruns lately (hey, it’s summer) and I’ve come across two great shows that I may have overlooked in the past. USA’s Monk and TNT’s The Closer. Both shows focus on solving crimes – those most baffling ones – but that’s nothing new to TV. What really draws you in to these shows are their respective main protagonists: Tony Shalhoub’s Adrian Monk, a retired San Francisco police officer turned private investigator, …

What I DON’T Like About Entourage

Okay—you’re probably wondering how I could be criticizing a show that hasn’t even started its season yet… especially since I recently praised its return. As I mentioned before, I only started watching the show during Season 2…and I think I’ve finally figured out why.  If there was one thing I could do to make this stellar show even better, it would be this:  CUT ADRIEN GRENIER’S HAIR!!! For someone who’s supposed to be the central character …

Project Runway: Season Three On The Horizon

Looks like another sexy season of Bravo’s hit show “Project Runway” is just around the corner. It’s time to get out those cutting shears and soup up your sewing skills for the July 12th premiere. Rumor has it, some changes are on the way for this season’s series including a change of venue. Seems to me as long as the cast of designing misfits stay as interesting as the past two seasons (oh Santino how …

Kathy Griffin: Freedom From The D-List

As a long time fan of Ms. Griffin’s I’m looking forward to June 6th when Bravo will unveil another fresh and frisky season of Kathy’s usual dirt dishing adventures. I have a particular fondness for the way she finds a humorous, yet biting way, to oust and joust her C-List and higher celebs.  This season however promises to have a more focused purpose. Looks like our Ms. Griffin has made an impassioned plea to upgrade …

America’s Next Top Model: Where Have You Gone?

I have to believe I’m not the only one going through ANTM withdrawal. With frenzied excitement, each week I’d sit on the edge of my futon watching another walk-off, model-off episode. But now with the winner declared (go Tiffany, ain’t nothin’ wrong with a lil’ gap my southern friend!) my high has crashed. Oh, I’ve tried to get my Tyra fix filled by watching her daily talk show, but it’s a poor substitute. Nothing hits …

The Apprentice: How Many Does One Man Need?

With the Donald’s finale right around the corner the question occurred to me. How many apprentices does one man need? I realize “The Donald” heads an empire with a never ending open headcount, but seriously, how many Trumps-in-Training can one person stand? These questions began to plague my brain as I realized the theme of the show, regrettably, has begun to wear on me (though it still doesn’t stop me from tuning in each week, bowl …
