CBS Brings Game Show Antique to the Network
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Games, CBS, News, Video,
With soap opera relic Guiding Light going off the air, CBS is looking at a daytime programming gap they haven’t had to worry about for six decades. You see, Guiding Light is so dusty is used to run on CBS radio. It’s been on CBS TV since 1952. That is a long-running show.
Time to hit the panic button now. So what’s CBS going to do to fill the gap left by this extremely old (and obviously highly successful) daytime drama? How about dredging up an almost equally-ancient game show and shoving it back onto the schedule?
And I’m pretty sure that’s how the pitch went when the network decided to breathe new life into Let’s Make a Deal, that “choose a door” delight once emceed by the irreplaceable Monty Hall. Will you ride away in a brand new car…or get stuck with a goat?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
In the 2000s, Simon Cowell became known for barking out insults to reality singing contenders on American Idol. But way back in the 1980s, he was known for a different sort of barking altogether.
Think that the show’s toughest judge will still have room for rebuke after this video goes viral? You can’t see his face, but from his voice you can tell that this ill-suited grown man is actually polished Simon Cowell, delivering an utterly horrific performance as Wonderdog in 1982 on a show called Top of the Pops.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Gossip, Video,
Joan Rivers has often remained good-natured about her own love affair with plastic surgery, giving and receiving jokes with good grace as part of her colorful career. But don’t crack a funny on the subject of Joan’s daughter Melissa Rivers - sparks (and swearing) will ensue.
Rivers abruptly ended an interview and dropped TV’s biggest no-no live on the air when an anchor tried to joke with the celebrity who’s usually so great with one-liners. Watch the video - and your ears - if you want to see Joan melt down.

Katie Holmes’ Anti-Climactic SYTYCD Performance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, So You Think You Can Dance, Video,
After weeks of buildup, Katie Holmes’ song and dance number finally aired on So You Think You Can Dance tonight. So was it worth all the hype? And did it make me “Get Happy”? Uh, no.
Earlier this month, choreographer Tyce Diorio - a man who has worked with far more talented dancers - dared to call the pre-taped performance “Oscar-winning.”
“The thing that is so awesome is that you won’t know, you don’t know what to expect … but then when you sit and watch it, it’s amazing. Amazing! And it’s not something in my opinion that’s just going to be like ‘oh, how nice.’ It’s not going to be that … ‘oh, look how sweet that is.’ No, it’s real. It’s as real as what you’re seeing now. I’m very proud of it, so I talk really highly of Katie,” Tyce told People magazine.

The Best SYTYCD Performance: July 22, 2009
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, So You Think You Can Dance, Video,
Every year, So You Think You Can Dance gives us a number so beautiful and powerful, it brings at least one judge to tears. Season 5 is no exception.
Last night, a piece danced by Melissa Sandvig and Ade Obayomi easily overshadowed anything else that happened on that dance floor. The Tyce Diorio number, choreographed to Maxwell’s cover of “This Woman’s Work,” told the story of a woman dealing with breast cancer. The result was something that got the whole room choked up.
