the journey to self enlightenment through television

I was shocked.  Literally shocked.  To the point where I knew I had to post immediately, but at the same time I couldn’t think of what to say. Opening up the Internet to open up my email is a common routine for me every morning.  I don’t really read much of what’s on the front [...]


Ummm….. So, yeah. I really have no words to describe the randomness or the complete absurdity of this new show called Shaq Vs. that is currently airing on ABC. Gentle readers, you all know my feelings on reality television typically wane.  I pretty much think that most reality television is a waste of time.  I [...]


And there was a pre-show.  A BLOODY PRE-SHOW!  Seriously… No. Seriously?  You-betcha-by-golly-wow.  There was a pre-show to the trainwreck we fondly refer to as Britney Spears.  As tonite is the premier of her confessional documentary thing, “Britney: For the Record.” And what kind of blogger would I be if I didn’t blog about this live, [...]


And this is simply because it is nearly 3 am that I am even considering posting about such nonsense.  And the weirdest things happen when you can’t sleep. And Paris Hilton is looking for a new BFF.  Umm… what???  And also, who cares? So, I’m sitting here, not sleeping, watching the cat run around like [...]


Friend of the blog Wayne, over at Segwayne, has kindly pointed out that not all reality TV has gone bad.  And even if it is bad, some of it can still be pretty damn funny. So, it is to you, gentle readers, that I present the latest findings in reality television, the very bane of [...]


And it just keeps getting worse.  I don’t  get it.  Are there really people watching these shows?  Are they really THAT good that the networks keep adding them to the lineup? Apparently they are.  I don’t buy it, but hey.  I’m not a network exec, so I don’t really have a say. The latest of [...]


EW.com has a fantastic photo article entitled 20 Pop-Culture Hits You Say We Couldn’t PAY You to See.  And holy crap, this list is a little out there.  There are definitely things I agree with, and there are even more I think have no reason to be on this list.   Please keep in mind while [...]


Apparently, ABC has been ripping off Japanese competitions/game shows.  Is anyone else surprised by this?  I’m not. If you’ve been watching TV during the summer hiatus, you would have noticed a new run of reality TV: the game show.  My favorite of the group would be an original show entitled I survived a Japanese Game Show, [...]


Because watching spoiled rich brats waste their parents money on a frivolous party wasn’t enough.  Now they are being EXILED to the far corners of the earth.  The parents are hoping they will return with a better appreciation of hard work and the “finer things in life.” MTV describes it as this: My Super Sweet [...]


Lost Boys: The Tribe I remember hearing about this a while back on The Two Coreys.  The Coreys, Feldman and Haim, were discussing a possible “reuinion” movie… The Lost Boys sequel.  HOWEVER, it appeared that the producers and the producing company wanted nothing to do with Haim in the new movie.  They only wanted Corey [...]
