This Could be Very Bad

I love comedian Dave Attell. I love the old comedy show The Gong Show. Put the two together, and I’m not sure how much I love it. That hasn’t stopped Comedy Central from making that move. “The Gong Show with Dave Attell” will consist of eight to ten off-beat and hilarious acts that will be […]

Six More Days

Summer TV comes a little early when American Gladiators returns on Monday night. NBC had a bug on the screen announcing the premier for a little while, but I finally saw a press release about it yesterday. The season will debut from 8-10 on Monday night. The release didn’t say what time the show will […]

I’m Torn

I hate it when my favorite TV shows make me question my loyalty to them. I would never give up on “How I Met Your Mother,” but the news I saw this week has me shaking my head. Britney Spears will guest star on the May 12 episode, the second time she has appeared on […]

Baller Comes Up Big

Don’t you just love the Baller? If you don’t watch Big Brother, you have no clue what that means. But those of us who waste inordinate amounts of time following the “houseguests” on the CBS reality show hve come to know Adam “Baller” Jasinski over the past 80-some days. Adam won $500K last night in […]

Totally Awesome

I will touch more on this topic in tomorrow’s newspaper column, but I have to sing the praises of “Totally 80s” on VH1Classic. The show runs most mornings, and I like to catch it on weekend mornings. There’s nothing like drinking coffee and watching some of the greatest music videos ever to kick off your […]

Slamball Returns

I remember sitting in the library in college once when Andy Salverda came up with a wonderful idea. See, Andy was pretty tall and could dunk a basketball, if I remember correctly, and he felt bad for people like me who didn’t have a chance in hell at throwing down a tomahawk slam, unless I […]

Listen Up, Priscilla

About a year ago, fans of “Scrubs” like me just assumed the show would wrap up its sixth and final season and live in reruns for a while. Not only did that notion go by the wayside, but now news has broken that the show may come back for an eighth season after it finishes […]

Give Me My Fast-Forward Button or Give Me Death!

The problem with technology is that someone always tries to exploit it for evil purposes. The villain this time is ABC. The network has reached an agreement which will allow much of its content to appear in “on demand” format on cable and satellite systems for free. There’s just one glitch. The agreement allows local […]

The Bride Wore Camo

Have you ever looked at the television, trying your hardest to look away, but unable to? That’s the feeling I got while watching CMT’s “My Big Redneck Wedding” the other night. I had seen the show in the listings before, but Maria’s stepfather recommended it for a good laugh. Wow, did the 90 minutes we […]

The Genesis of an Obsession

Big Brother started last night on CBS. I could pretty much stop right there because that can tell the whole story. I don’t want to have a fascination with this show. I didn’t until last summer. That’s when my friends turned me into a maniac. I can’t just watch the show three times a week […]
