One of the Zula Patrol cartoon aliens talks like SNL’s Brian Fellow

July 10, 2009
I had never seen this Zula Patrol show until I was flipping through channels during Mike and Juliet today. It’s a 3D children’s cartoon show starring a bunch of aliens who float around learning about science and stuff, and I suppose it would be good for kids to watch, although I found it kinda dull.But [...]

A reality TV show idea…Mark Burnett, I await your calls

June 29, 2009
As a former film student, I see a lot of potential in competitive filmmaking as a reality TV subject. I know Project Greenlight made some waves at the beginning of this whole reality era, but my idea is much better.Here’s what I envision: ten or twelve aspiring filmmakers are put into teams, a la The [...]

10 Things I Hate About You…the TV show?

June 24, 2009
I loved the original 10 Things I Hate About You, which wasn’t all that original considering it was based on The Taming of the Shrew, which also inspired Kiss Me Kate. But a solid performance from a young Heath Ledger made this an above-average dumb teen flick, and costars Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Larisa [...]

10. The Ghost Whisperer - Sure, it’s overwrought and the dialogue is sometimes painful, but this show can be fun to watch from time to time. Why’d they have to kill her husband, though? Oh right, it’s a show about ghosts.9. Cribs reruns - Late at night on ABC, an episode of Cribs comes on [...]

Zack Morris returns! SBTB fans rejoice!

June 10, 2009
Prepare for a nineties flashback, because this clip of Mark-Paul Gosselaar on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon nearly induced me to run out into the streets searching for skorts and slap bracelets. I loved Saved by the Bell, and even had a poster of the cast hanging on my ceiling for several years. That’s when [...]

Previously on Lost on ABC.com!

June 8, 2009
I have previously written about Previously on Lost, the awesomest TV-related band ever, but this time you really must sit up and pay attention, because they got some major mainstream coverage! On ABC.com’s Lost page, the main video right now is a short “Lost: Untangled” piece for the season finale. And at about the one [...]

Was that a Ryan Seacrest gay joke on “Here Come the Newlyweds”?

June 1, 2009
Now, I am not a fan of the new ABC reality show Here Come the Newlyweds by any means. It’s just a lame amped up version of The Newlywed Game, and the overall tone is kind of pain-inducing. But on tonight’s episode, I was surpised to hear some rather ribald humor coming from the host, [...]

“Ask your doctor”…I would if I could

It really peeves me when media personalities and newscasters follow up every TV health report, no matter how banal, with “ask your doctor” or “talk to your doctor.” I don’t take issue with the fact that they’re recommending consulting experts, but with the use of the word “your.” This presumes that everybody watching the program [...]
