Turning a TV Show into the Perfect Party
I started working at my alma mater last month as the social media specialist. I love being back on a university campus, especially one as beautiful as this. I’m not gonna lie; it’s also pretty awesome to be regularly mistaken for a student.
Read MorePaging Winona Ryder: “Heathers” is Coming to TV
We all know the movie studios are having difficulty coming up with original ideas — how else can you explain every other movie either being a reboot or a sequel — but now it seems to have spread to the Bravo network.
Read More‘The Cosby Show,’ ‘Who’s the Boss,’ and Other Shows that Premiered When I Did
On Tuesday, I turned 28. Apparently, the older you get, the more time flies, because I feel like I just turned 18. It doesn’t help that I recently took on a new job in social media at my alma mater, so I am constantly being mistaken for a student when I really just want to take someone’s photo to post …
Read MoreFall TV: Time to Say Goodbye
All good things must come to an end, and that proves true for television shows as well. While most of the programs ending this upcoming season have lost much of their luster, I will miss a few.
Read MoreNew Fall TV: A Few Shows I’m Digging
It’s almost time for fall’s new TV shows to start, and there are a couple that I’m excited about.
Read MoreControversy Abounds Over “Stars Earn Stripes” – Is it Warranted?
I’m not really the target audience for the new NBC show Stars Earn Stripes, which premiered earlier this week. I don’t come from a military family, I only have a few friends who have served, including one Marine who was in Iraq, and frankly, I’m just not interested in the subject. But, I had seen the commercials during the Olympics, …
Read More“Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” and There Goes My IQ
I just watched the trailer for Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, TLC’s latest non-educational reality show, and I am both angry at myself for wasting precious minutes of my life, and annoyed at TLC for actually approving this mess of a television program.
Read MoreThe Olympics Aren’t So Bad After All
A few weeks ago, I wrote about how I wasn’t the least bit excited about the Olympics. After reading comments from those of you who gave me some really good reasons to watch, I have embraced the Olympics and am even watching men’s swimming as I write this!
Read MoreWho Would Play You in a TV Movie?
In elementary school, when my friend and I wanted to insult each other, we’d say, “Oh yeah? Well, (fill in the blank) will play you in your TV movie!” Usually, fill in the blank was Tori Spelling, who in 1994 was the epitome of a bad actress and decidedly uncool to a bunch of fifth graders. Don’t ask me why …
Read MoreWhen You Actually Needed Talent to be on TV: A Look Back at “Star Search”
The other day, I found myself watching a Full House re-run where Joey was sad because he had made a deal with himself that in ten years, he’d be famous. The decade mark was fast approaching, and he still lived in his best friend’s basement. Fear not, because the Tanners sent in a tape to Star Search and Joey was …
Read More“Miss Advised” is Ill Advised
I enjoy a vast majority of Bravo reality shows, and when a new one starts, I usually give it a try. Despite the rather annoying promos, a few weeks ago I sat down and watched the first episode of Miss Advised, which follows three women — a matchmaker in New York City, a sex expert with a radio show in San …
Read MoreConfession Time: I Don’t Like the Olympics
I must make a confession: I don’t care about the Olympics.
Read MoreCelebrity Books – How Many Are Really Worth Buying?
Over the past few years, it seems like every other celebrity (and I am using this term loosely) has come out with a memoir. Sometimes, it’s someone who I don’t think half of the country has even heard of, and I find myself at Barnes & Noble thinking, Really? Some agent was able to sell the story of a Bachelor …
Read MorePutting HBO to the Test
A few weeks ago, I wondered if it would be worth it to get HBO. This weekend, Verizon FiOS offered free previews of the channel, as well as Cinemax, so I decided to test it out.

(Celebrities) In Your Dreams
I try not to watch anything too disturbing or scary before going to bed, because often, I dream about things that were on television just before I fall asleep. That means I avoid the 11 o’clock news, and anything involving murders or ghosts or unsolved disappearances. Those are the things that freak me out, and I have no desire to …

Sometimes I watch late night television shows and think, “I would be a way better guest than this fool.”
