Politics, Contracts, Muggings OH MY!: Mad Men Recap

After last week’s foot incident, I didn’t think Mad Men could make me any more physically ill. Boy was I was wrong. The first few scenes are basic flash forwards further into the episode with Betty lounging on a chaise, Don face covered in blood and on the floor and Peggy in bed with a [...]

We Still Frickin’ Love You Jenny Slate! – UPDATED

It’s pretty difficult to turn your first sketch on Saturday Night Live into a memorable one, but Jenny Slate did just that last night. Slate, one of the two new cast members this season, was doing her best to bring the funny to a tired sketch last night and she dropped the F-bomb in a [...]

Project Runway Recap: BORING!!!!

This recap is going to be short and sweet, since I kept finding myself falling asleep throughout last night’s episode. I don’t know if its the group of designers, the yawn worthy guest judges or the lack of the dramaz, but this season is really boring me to death. I’m usually all about Project Runway, [...]

Mad Men Recap – Thankfully I Never Had to Endure the 1960s

I am sure that during my nearly 30 years on the planet Earth I have repeatedly said how great it would have been to live in the past. Either for some lame reason like seeing Led Zeppelin live or an admirable one for being part of the women’s rights to vote movement, I have [...]

Mes Amis Your “Top Chef” Recap

Vive la France or at least its style of cooking. The glitz and glamour (i.e. gambling and neon) of Las Vegas were left behind for the chicness of French cuisine for this week’s episode of Top Chef. Our chef’s were surprised by the quick fire challenge, which had them creating dishes showcasing escargot, or for [...]

I Hate Myself For Being Stoked for “The Hills”

When it comes to “The Hill”s, I feel like Al Pacino in the Godfather II because every time I think I’m over this show “they pull me back in”. And the “they” I’m speaking of are the magical elves who edit a season worth of eye rolling, back stabbing, dramaz and chic LA eateries [...]

“Project Runway” Returns With Record Numbers and a Little Lohan

Oh Project Runway how I missed you so. With the return of the original respectable competition reality program, there is no longer a gaping hole in my heart. And while this season took as long to hit the airwaves as it would take for me to pop out a kid, it was worth [...]

“Top Chef” Returns with Some Luck & Puck! – SPOILER ALERT!

Within the first five minutes of the season premiere of “Top Chef”, I had already picked who would be the first to have to pack their knives and go. Sadly, “Streched Ears” Jen’s love of her son or generic tattoos could not save her final dish and she was the first chef to get [...]

Mad Men Returns on a High Note

“Mad Men” returned last night for its third season scoring its highest ratings to date. The drama pulled in 2.8 million viewers last night, giving the 60’s set drama a 33% increase in viewership from last season.

Last night, we found our characters six months later from where last left them and the merger with [...]

“Drop Dead Diva” Searches for its Soul

Tonight Lifetime will premiere its latest series “Drop Dead Diva”, which follows the life of an aspiring game show model whose untimely death forces her to live a new life within the body of a plus-size lawyer. The show is an estrogen-laced hybrid of “Legally Blonde” and “Vice Versa”, a fish out of water [...]
