Mother of All Mavens

A whole lot o' nothing. And then some…

Old News

Oscar who? Once the Academy has strutted its stuff, once we’ve seen the outfits, the frozen faces, the sore losers, the passed over, what’s really left to discuss?

Simon Says

Idol Fever. It’s back. And it’s bad. In a good way.

Oscar Talk

The Academy Awards has lost its spark. Not that this is news to anyone, but it’s sort of sad nonetheless. Will I still tune in? OF COURSE! But I’ll be bracing myself for the inevitable disappointment.

Shows Gone Wild

Where have all the good shows gone? Thursday night was line-up night. You need 3 shows for Line-Up. Otherwise, it’s just back-to-back. And that’s a Sunday thing.

TV Times

With my trusty PVR, no show is too lame to at least test-drive. And why the hell not, right? Sure, PVR may be my crack, but with the plethora of new fall shows, it’s an absolute must.

The Rock Report

Honestly, a girl goes out to stalk her movie star boyfriend and returns to find a half-taped reality show. A half-taped reality show FINALE! Was it the PVR? Was it the network? Was it a sign? It couldn’t be the Universe’s way of telling me to get a life, ‘cuz the PVR lets me have a life and watch one too. Harumph.

Another Rock Report

Dilana? Noooooo. How they gave her a standing O last night is beyond me. Yes she got the crowd all riled up, but at one point I wasn’t sure if she was standing or sitting, and that just ain’t right. And it’s not front (wo)man material either. Then again, what do I know? I doubt I’d be a Supernova fan anyway.

The Rock Report

Confession: I didn’t tune into last year’s INXS version. I wanted to, swear! But my Man banned all reality shows from our summer schedule and I complied. Meanwhile, he secretly tuned in and loved it. So this year, after much cajolling from my fellow TV hounds ‘n whores, I jumped on the Rockstar bandwagon. And I’m in in in!

Mr. Irritability

Anyone know of another key TV portrait of irritability? Who’s cheesier-in-a-good-way? Who’s so stupid-he’s-genius? Who is that hilarious in the realm of irritable characters? Mr. Drama is amusing, but COME ON – he doesn’t hold a candle to Gob, R.I.P.
