Let’s Chat About Late Night Talk Shows
Sometimes I watch late night television shows and think, “I would be a way better guest than this fool.”
Read MoreIs HBO Worth It?
Growing up, our cable package at home included HBO. I used to watch Fraggle Rock and the occasional kid movie, but for the most part I took it for granted those days.
Read MoreVery Special Episodes: An Appreciation
The 1980s and ’90s were chock full of family sitcoms, from Full House to Family Matters. Each and every show had at least one “Very Special Episode,” and I lived for them.
Read MoreDo We Really Need Televisions Everywhere?
Sometimes I need silence to relax, but more times than not, I decompress by watching television. It could be an old favorite, like a Seinfeld rerun, or a new episode of The Soup. Whatever it is, it takes my mind off of the day and I can just focus on unwinding.
Read MoreWhat Movies Are Must Watch, No Matter What?
The other day over lunch, my friend and I somehow ended up discussing movies that you absolutely must stop and watch when you find them on television, regardless of whether they just started or were almost over.
Read More“The Dr. Oz Show”: Equal Parts Fascinating and Creepy
Because I primarily work from home, I watch a decent amount of daytime television, which I’ve written about before. But the one show that is equal parts fascinating and creepy is “The Dr. Oz Show.”
Read MoreKelly, Brenda and Donna Invade Reality TV
For some reason, if you were an original, female cast member of Beverly Hills, 90210, you currently have a reality show. Well, unless your name is Gabrielle Carteris, but admit it — Andrea Zuckerman was never really one of the gang.
Read MoreNew Spring Shows I’m Excited About
I love when new shows premiere, and there are a few that I’m looking forward to checking out (as well as one I think I can do without).
Read MoreT.V. Promos: If It’s Wacky Enough, Do You Tune In?
I see a lot of weird things every day — I live in Southern California, so its to be expected — but over the weekend I saw something in Los Angeles that was really strange. Like, something so weird that I had to stop and remark, “Wow, that’s bizarre.”

“Unorthodox” Offers Fascinating Glimpse into a Private World
I usually write about television, but I completely forgot to DVR the show I was going to review. Then, I couldn’t get the video of it to play online. So, I’ve come to the conclusion that the universe is trying to tell me to do something else, and that’s talk about a new book that I had to stop myself …
Read More“Southland”: Thank Goodness For Second Chances
There are so many shows that aren’t given a proper chance to shine before getting cut (no, I’m still not over Freaks & Geeks, ok?). Every once in a million years, a program is given a second chance on another network, and one of my favorite shows, Southland, is a member of this small club.
Read More“Teen Mom 3″: When “Teen Mom” and “Teen Mom 2″ Just Aren’t Enough!
MTV, not happy with exploiting just eight young women on the Teen Mom franchise, are adding more to the roster!
Read MoreSpin-Offs That Must Be Made
Because Hollywood seems to be unable to make any movies or television shows that are not recycled ideas, it’s surprising that lately, we haven’t seen too many spin-offs. Perhaps the studios still think of Joey and recoil in horror?*
Read MoreIf They Would Reunite, It Would Feel So Good (Or, My Dream TV Reunions)
I love when television ensembles have reunions. These days, when casts get together again, it’s usually on a talk show or in a magazine. I want more shows, though, where we don’t see the actors and actresses and how they look now, but the actual characters and their lives today.
Read MoreA “Real Housewives of Orange County” Rant
On Tuesday night, I watched the premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County. I love those stupid Housewives shows, and especially this version because I often recognize the places they go, and have even had close encounters with some of them myself (just go to the South Coast Plaza and I guarantee, you’ll see at least one). But after last …
Read MoreUgh: I Finally Give in and Watch “The Bachelor”
So, I watched The Bachelor for the first time, and it annoyed me about as much as I thought it would. I was rather proud of myself for making it so long without watching any of the million Bachelor or Bachelorette incarnations. For all the trashy reality series I’ve watched in my day, I can’t stand the dating ones. In fact, I …
