24: Out of Time?
by: GeoffBurch
In the famous and frantic words of Jack Bauer, 24 could be “running out of time!” Fox is expected to soon announce the cancellation of 24, stopping the clock of the hit television drama after its current eighth season. Also in the legendary words of Jack, my reaction is: “Damn it!”
Debuting less than two months [...]

So The Bachelor is concerned about their reputation as a quality show. You know, the kind you would feel comfortable watching with your parents or grandparents.

Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp premiered February 8th on VH1, combining the fitness trend of boot camps with the cultural trend of watching chubby people sweat and cry.

A Look at the Super Blah Ads
On February 9, 2010 at 9:19 am
For two years running, the game has been more exciting than the ads. Good for football, not so good for those of us who watch for the ads.
As a hardworking humorist (check out my web site, The Endive (Cha-ching!)) who has worked in advertising, I don’t have much patience for a company who blows a [...]
A Posh View
On at 8:12 am
To say that Victoria Beckham is trying on a less spicy career compared to The Spice Girls is debatable. Her new gig on the View promises to be just as palatable.
After the most successful Spice Girl did a guest spot as a judge on American Idol, Victoria Beckham is foraying into the arena of talk. [...]
Moving Beyond The Mafia

Author’s Note: I originally wrote this piece about a year ago, but with all of the controversy surrounding the new series, Jersey Shore, it seemed like a timely addition to the conversation. In full disclosure, I’ve never actually seen MTV’s reality television series, although I’ve read many differing critiques.
Surprise! Most Americans of Italian descent speak [...]
The Montag Monster in Her Natural Habitat
On January 28, 2010 at 10:34 am
Shhhhhhh! Be very very quiet. We are all very lucky to be this close to the Montag Monster in her natural habitat. She lurks close to the ground and tries to hypnotize you with her new DDD boobs and blank stares. Not to be confused with her similar mating call, the Montag Monster positions her [...]
American Obama?
On January 25, 2010 at 9:22 am
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! American Idol, 24 and Damages are back – giving me too much television to watch and an excuse not to venture out into the January cold, yet still feel I have a life and am connected to society at large.
January 19th’s American Idol took us to Chicago. [...]
Sarah Palin Joins FOX
On January 14, 2010 at 10:09 am
Fox News has hired the most polarizing figure in American culture. She left the world agape with her resignation, and the media fixated on her. Just when you thought you’d seen the last of Sarah Palin, she signs a deal with Fox to be a commentator.

You Think Lack of Abdul Can Slow This Train Wreck Down?

You guessed it. American Idol recap is back. You still with me? Well, it is. Deal with it the same way you deal with terrorist attacks. Here’s just some of what happened last night on Idol that lasted, what I can only assume was, 14 hours of programming.
Wow. 2 seconds in and I remember how [...]
Who’s Your (baby) Daddy?
On January 12, 2010 at 10:05 am
Ugly Betty has catapulted from Friday night prime-time exile to the top of the heap – right after ABC’s clever and well- written Modern Family and the popular-yet-depressing-to-me Cougartown.
I work in fashion, live in New York City and have long hung out with gay guys, so Ugly Betty has been a guilty pleasure for me [...]

If you love/hate/who cares MTV’s “The City” and “The Hills” you may be familiar with a little boss lady named Kelly Cutrone. She’s the owner of People’s Revolution and the boss of you…even if you don’t work for her. Well Kelly landed her own reality show called “Kell on Earth” which gives us all a [...]
