Last year I turned to this site to offer an apology to the brash comedian and now I’m here promoting his new TV series “Louie“, which premiered last night on FX. Since no one from FX‘s marketing department were nice enough to send me screeners, I caught the show last night and the critics were right [...]

Speechless is a perfect way to describe me right now, courtesy of tonight’s LOST finale. After spending six maddening seasons with a slew of characters I had cared for its difficult to wrap up my feelings of having to say goodbye. As a fan of the show from the beginning, I have avoided blogging or recapping [...]
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 sea [...] 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, but [...] 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 fondly looked at life in olden times as a lovely thing. But after last night’s episode of Mad Men, I take back all of these things and thank my lucky stars that I never had to experience life before 1980. In fact, any women who had to be an adult before year 1979 is personally invited to punch me in my ovary as reparation for my ill advised statements. 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 you non-foodies SNAIL! To top off this difficult challenge, Daniel Boulud, renowned French chef and restauranteur, was announced as the guest judge. And to freak out the judges even more, the loser of this challenge would be going home. YIKES! Jen, one of my favorite chefs this go around, informed the viewers at home that escargot is an incredibly difficult protein to work with and can be easily screwed up. So no pressure guys with you have to cook a French delicacy for a famous French chef and the fear of getting kicked off looming over you the whole time. And thanks to the perfect reality TV tool of foretelling interview sequences, we know right away that the bottom bunch for the quickfire will be a handful of women (Thanks Robin). On the other hand, Kevin wowed the judges with his snail fricassee and with his win, he secured immunity as well as a seat at the elimination challenge table. Anyway back to the losers: Ashley, Jesse and Robin all ended up at the bottom of the snail heap and were asked to create an amuse bouche in like two minutes to see who should get the boot. Jesse’s did not make the cut and she was asked to pack her knives and get the F out the kitchen, which obviously didn’t make her happy. See? 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 into [...] |
