Best And Worst of the 2008-2009 TV Season

First, the good news.
Best Comedy Series
The Big Bang Theory (CBS)
Years of Devotion to How I Met Your Mother and Scrubs has been painful at times, as both of these hilarious but criminally under watched shows suffered from time slot shifts and near cancellation more than once. But HIMYM’s fifth season was all but assured this [...]

And Our Idol for 2009 is…

Idol is being self congratulatory again. I know it’s a ratings powerhouse, but this is ridiculous. It’s not like Simon Fuller has discovered the cure for cancer.
Gwen asks why they are wearing white. Oy.
I’m looking forward to tonight. All the pressure is off. But can Kris and Adam sing together without sounding totally weird?
Kris was [...]

At This Moment, Idol Means Everything

Oh, Idol. I had such high hopes.
First off, Idol is mighty proud of itself. It is every season, but that opening tape was incredibly smug and self-congratulatory. Too many shots of Kara speaking absolute bullshit. And RyRy… well, he’s Seacrest. We know he’s a douche.
Anyone one else here had nightmares at the start about the [...]

Today I got a record number eleven spam comments. Oh, and about 65 people read my essay about the modern sitcom. But I digress. Idol never gets me major hits, Chuck and The Big Bang Theory do. Which reminds me- look for upcoming posts on DTTMOT about the finales for all my faves. It’ll just [...]

The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round

First off, I got to tell the idiot spammers thinking I want to see Audrina Partridge nude- I don’t. Not Patricia Heaton. Or anybody else. And my spam collector catches you. And I will never, ever approve your “comments”.  So quit wasting everyone’s time, please. It’s irritating.
Second off, I’m glad they do two songs this [...]

Scream.

Minutes before Idol began, Slash tweeted that he would be performing an Alice Cooper song. Nice.
So we get an overhead push in with a single spotlight to RyRy in the pit. This… Is.. American…Chopper. ( no, wait, wrong show). Then we get our weekly lame ass Ford Vid, then a group sing in which the [...]

It’s Been A Long Time Since I Rock and Rolled.

So, I’ve been in a Chuck coma for the past week, after an awesome finale last Monday and then the jerking around NBC has done on Chuck fans this past week, cumulating  in the announcement that the show would not be in Monday’s in-fronts, and that we have to wait another fifteen days. At least [...]
