Okay, I seriously didn’t know that this show existed but, apparently, enough people knew about it and watched it since the Food Network has ordered a second season of What Would Brian Boitano Make?

Production gets underway this December with the 10 new episodes airing in March, 2010.  In case you are like me and you’ve never heard of this series, Olympic figure skating gold-medalist, Boitano, brings people back to his San Francisco home where he prepares elaborate meals.
I’m guessing the name of the show was inspired by the very popular song “What Would Brian Boitano Do?” which was featured in …read more

When I was a little kid, the original V series terrified me.  That was back in 1983 and I was in Kindergarten but it scared me enough that I still think about it from time to time.  I was a little hesitant to give this show a shot because of my post-traumatic stress but there’s a lack of good sci-fi shows on TV right now so I felt I owed it to myself to check it out – and I’m glad I did.
Most of the reviews I’ve seen have been favorable with even E! Online saying that the pilot ”on a scale of …read more

This week’s episode of Californication was my favorite so far this season.  Karen returned with Becca from New York and she insists on having Hank take her with him to his classroom.  Of course, this is awkward since the class was also attended by the student, Jackie, and assistant teacher, Jill, that he’s having sex with.  Having those three women in the same room was interesting and Karen correctly guessed that he was having sex with Jackie (even though he didn’t admit to it).
While in the classroom, Karen meets Felicia Koons, the wife of the dean and, more importantly, …read more

Last night’s episode of Dexter began with the Trinity Killer singing in church of all places.  Dexter reviews all of the things about the man’s life that suggest he has a normal existence – wife, children, religion – with the exception of the serial killing, of course.
At home, Dexter is dealing with the fact that Rita is still angry about learning that he’s hung on to his apartment.  She has asked him to empty the place and has set up an appointment with a couple’s therapist too.  Wow…
Trinity has committed his latest murder and Debra already knows where it’s happened …read more

Last night’s episode of The Amazing Race was among the most annoying so far this season.  It was as if some people lost the ability to use their brains all together.
This leg started in Dubai (those resorts and the area looked amazing!) and ended in Amsterdam  and, in all honesty, I felt like the tasks were pretty easy so I was stunned to see some people mess up so badly.
The contestants had to correctly count the number of bells (62) at this one bell tower in the Netherlands and most of them were able to do it in a reasonable …read more

Before I get into the good stuff, I have to warn True Blood fans – there are MAJOR spoilers in this post so if you don’t want to know anything about the third season, I suggest you hit the “back” button on your browser right now.

Okay, if you’re still here you probably want to know what HBO has in store for next season.
I read all of the books by Charlaine Harris and, while I really enjoy the show, there are characters and storylines that I really wanted to see come to fruition on the small screen.  It looks like I’m …read more

Jerks.  They annoy you, anger you and offend you, but you love them.  The jerk is a great character.  If played correctly, girls will want him and guys will want to be him.
He’s arrogant, ignorant and snide but he makes for some great TV.
Who made my list?
Archie Bunker
All In The Family’s resident racist, sexist, pessimistic, arrogant SOB.   Archie Bunker is the godfather of all jerks.  Grumbling from his chair no one was spared from his rants.  Meathead, Gloria and even Edith got it, but by far the best exchanges were between him and just as jerky neighbor, George Jefferson who …read more

Ricky Gervais will be hosting the Golden Globe Awards this year and it’s either going to be a hilarious success or an awkward night.  I personally really like him from his work on Extras and, of course, as the creator of the original version of The Office but I know that his brand of humor isn’t for every one.
Since he was the late Princess Diana’s favorite comedian (or at least one of them), he was invited to perform at her massive memorial service at Wembley Stadium a couple years ago.
After his segment was over, he was told that he needed …read more

Last night’s episode opened with Dexter running toward the crime scene where his sister Deb and Detective Lundy were gunned down.  Deb was being loaded into the back of an ambulance while Lundy was laying face down, dead, in the parking lot.  Of course, Dexter wondered what Deb and Lundy were doing together at a hotel at 5am but the looks on Batista and LaGuerta’s face explained it all.

At the hospital, Dexter tries to get Deb to tell him what happened and she recounted the tragic story but without any real useful information.  Anton arrives at the hospital to …read more
