Everyone was crying on last night’s episode of Downton Abbey — even Violet, the Dowager Countess of Grantham! It was an emotional hour full of wrenching twists and turns. Even yours truly got a little misty-eyed at times. Nothing good can come of war, I tell you! Nothing at’all!

Introducing New Bravo Podcast, “Watch What Crappens”
Exciting news from the Internet: Matt Whitfield (Yahoo!), Ronnie Karam (TVgasm), and I have reunited to form a new podcast called “Watch What Crappens,” which focuses exclusively on the exciting offerings of Bravo. Just like our previous podcast, “Housewife Hoedown,” we’ll be spending a huge amount of time talking about The Real Housewives, but now …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA PHOTOCAP: Housewives in Africa? DRAMA!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta are going to Africa! That was the gist of this week’s episode, which saw the women more or less doing nothing but preparing for the big trip. NeNe continued to debate whether or not to go, but leave it to That Girl Marlo Hampton to set her straight. The oft-arrested …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS PHOTOCAP: Wake Me Up When The Finale Is Over
I have a theory that last week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was intended to be the season finale, but thanks to Russell hanging himself, the producers needed to cap the season off on an optimistic note that somehow addressed the terrible tragedy. Enter last night’s snoozefest of a finale, which focused …

DOWNTON ABBEY PHOTOCAP: Another Soup Scandal ROCKS The Countryside!
Once again, a soup scandal ROCKED the world of Downton Abbey last night for the fourth time in seven episodes. The first soup incident occurred when Daisy attempted to sabotage Mrs. Burns’ soup by tossing some vile ingredient into the pot. The second such disaster happened when poor Carson nearly keeled over and died during …

REVENGE RECAP: Like Anyone Would Want To R Her
Revenge was on fire last night. So many great things happened: Jack got beat up (yes!), Victoria seethed extra hard (yes!), and Lydia rolled into Grayson Manor with a gun-turret attached to her wheelchair and plowed down anyone in sight. Okay, maybe that last thing didn’t happen, but oh, if it had, this might have …

REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA PHOTOCAP: The One Where They All Went To Dinner And Didn’t Talk
I’m starting to sense that this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta is running out of gas. Sure, the women may be funny, but like the previous two seasons that came before it, there’s no real through-line, no real story here; so we’re just watching a bunch of nouveau riche women (I use the term …
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS PHOTOCAP: High Times at Lisa’s Party
Bravo titled last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills the “Night of 1,000 Surprises,” and it was about as apt a name as could be. The action all centered around Lisa’s opening bash for Sur, and pretty much every segment of the super sized episode featured a noteworthy bit of drama — …

DOWNTON ABBEY PHOTOCAP: Another Soup Emergency! Heavens!
There was some serious drama on Downton Abbey last night. Cousin Isobel moved all sorts of recovering soldiers into the house, much to the chagrin of the family, who had to endure such horrors as errant ping pong balls and a general din in the library. Even worse, with Downton Abbey now serving as a …

REVENGE RECAP: What A Novel Idea!
Revenge got back to basics last night as the show returned to its fun format of introducing a guest star and then utterly decimating his or her life by the hour’s end. This week’s sap: a smarmy biographer named Mason Treadwell (played by Broadway star and Desperate Housewives creep Roger Bart) who capitalized on David …
