Stars: Emily VanCamp, Madeleine Stowe, Henry Czerny, Josh Bowman, Nick Wechsler, Gabriel Mann, Ashley Madekwe, Christa B. Allen, Connor Paolo Writer: Nikki Toscano Director: Kenneth Fink Network: ABC, Wednesday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: October 19, 2011 One of the problems I’ve had with REVENGE  is that it does stretch credibility that Emily Thorne (the former Amanda Clarke) seems to think that she is going to ruin the lives of all the people involved in the false accusation and conviction of her father David (James Tupper) without getting caught. But tonight, Emily (Emily Van Camp) does come close and it’s just clever enough that I’m almost willing to forgive that the episode […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “Bass to Mouth”

By CARL CORTEZ
The kids discover a new gossip site on SOUTH PARK - Season 15 - "Bass to Mouth" | ©2011 Comedy Central

Getting bent out of shape because SOUTH PARK does an utterly tasteless episode is similar to being outraged that Lindsay Lohan did something stupid again to land her in jail. They do that they do. It is what it is. We’re all the better for it. In SOUTH PARK’s case, tasteless is their forte – and most of the time it works brilliantly. Where the big problems come from is when the show simply misses the mark in its tastelessness and doesn’t provide enough funny to back it up. That’s the sad truth of “Bass to Mouth” which tackles so […]Read On »

He had placed last these past two weeks, so it was an obvious choice to send him home. Before […]Read On »

Cast: Jason O’Mara, Christine Adams, Byron Brockmann, Shelly Conn, Stephan Lang, Simone Kessell, Landon Liborion, Allison Miller Director: Jon Cassar Writers: Barbara Marshall Network: Airs on Fox, Mondays @ 8pm Original Telecast: Oct. 17, 201 So, hey, when are we getting some dinosaurs in your dinosaur TV show? TERRA NOVA was billed as a JURASSIC PARK meets LOST with a dash of AVATAR, yet for the most part this show has been dinosaur-free instead focusing on lame storylines involving the Shannon family, troubles teens have with girls (and boys), rebellious moonshine making other teens and a whole host of plotlines […]Read On »

Like heck, she isn’t, and it comes out when Castle gets tangled up with a really hot insurance investigator who horns her way into their latest case. In this one, a museum director […]Read On »

Stars: Chaz Bono, David Arquette, Nancy Grace, Robert Kardashian, Carson Kressley, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: October 17th, 2011 It’s 1980s week on DANCING WITH THE STARS. The challenge was that quite a few of the professional dancers weren’t even out of their diapers in the ’80s. So, their input wasn’t exactly something they could conjure up and flashback to with any hands on ability. Still, some nailed it, others did OK and then, well, there was Carson Kressley. Oh, Kressley it is time to go. Once again he came in last […]Read On »

There were a lot of people up in arms over the early dismissal of Chynna Phillips last week on DANCING WITH THE STARS. A few were still peeved over the Kristin Cavallari debacle the previous week as well. So, I decided to do a little investigating and looked up all the scores from seasons 1-12 and compared the scores of the runners up to the official winners to see just how much of an influence the audience actually has in determining the winner. In other words, I added up all the judges’ tallies alone. You might be surprised by what […]Read On »
