Mad Men wrapped up its second season Sunday night, and what a finale it was. Set against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the entire episode was beautifully tense. Everything about the show  from the acting to the cinematography  was wrought with fierce emotion, particularly the devastating scene late in the hour …

Tina Fey is white hot right now, and in an effort to translate that into a ratings boost for 30 Rock, NBC is… um… what is NBC doing? Well, they certainly haven’t been taking advantage of the buzz, opting to launch the third season who knows when. Apparently the plan was to promote the heck …

Earlier this morning, the AP reported that The Simpsons would be parodying the opening credits of Mad Men in its nineteenth annual “Treehouse of Terror” episode (airing November 2nd). That alone was enough to excite me, but now Michelle Collins as Best Week Ever has exclusive screens from the episode, and needless to say, I’m …

Monday’s Gossip Girl had plenty of wonderful moments (none of which included Vanessa), but perhaps the best part of the hour was something that didn’t even happen in the show.

Poor Lauren. She had to sit on the sidelines of this latest episode of The Hills while her sidekick Audrina got wasted and spent the following twenty minutes of screen time trying to grab a flower. If it doesn’t sound exciting, you’re wrong. This is The Hills, the only show on television that can create …

Avid followers of The Hills may notice Sonic’s various parody ads scattered throughout the telecast on a weekly basis. This is all part of the fast food chain’s serialized spoof, titled The Stalls, and in an effort to promote both the ad campaign and their restaurants, the good people of Sonic have sent me a …

Starting tomorrow, the Food Network will be airing brand new episodes of The Barefoot Contessa, and in honor of this GOOD event, I’ve decided to rank my top ten “Ina-isms”  those familiar phrases Ina Garten employs time and time again, much to my continued entertainment. The best part about Ina-isms, however, is guessing when …
I was more than pleased with the outcome of last night’s Project Runway finale. I won’t spoil it here in case you haven’t watched it yet, but be warned, the following photocap does reveal the winner. So what else is there to say? The season is over, and now we have to wait until January …
