I gotta admit that Jersey Shore has grown on me immensely. At first, I didn’t really love it. The entire show felt like a low-rate version of The Real World, what with its shoddy production values and flashy visual flourishes (ie. fake film “noise” on screen).

Great Moments In Failed Flirtations
Last night my friend Meeshie sent me an email directing me to the Facebook fan page for Dave Ball, the Survivor: Samoa contestant who we last saw bearing his chest for one lucky lady. Why? Well, it looks like Dave tried to flirt with one fan, but.. well… take a look at the following exchange: …

Unfortunately, her entire speech wasn’t captured on …
Worst Taboo Players Of All Time
I sincerely love the notion that Jimmy Fallon is willing to play Taboo on his late night show. However, as much as I’m a fan of this, I must admit that watching the execution is utterly painful — and not just because Michael Cera’s marigold hairstyle is so distracting. These people are just terrible at …

As many people in the New York tri-state region have come to discover, Cablevision has dropped the Food Network and HGTV from its cable lineup in the wake of a contract feud with the channels’ parent company Scripps.
