The Good – SYTYCD‘s earnest (annoying?) farmboy Kent is engagingly mature, almost (dare I say it) sexy, this week in a smooth Dave Scott hip hop with Comfort and a beautiful Travis Wall contemporary with Lauren. – Deserving Emmy nominees abound, especially Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler. – Big Brother returns with a cool new […]

Fat Shows, the biggest problem since Skinny Shows

This week was the premiere of a new ABC family show called Huge. It’s basically an hour each week in which rebellious Will (you know she’s a rebel because she’s got blue hair) obnoxiously fights against losing weight at fat camp. Oh boy. I cannot wait. The premiere alone was chock a block full of […]

5 Things To Look Forward To In “Diva” Season 2

With the second season of my new favourite summer show, Drop Dead Diva, premiering Sunday on Lifetime, I thought I’d ask creator/showrunner Josh Berman what viewers have to look forward to this season. Here’s what he had to say: “1. More surprises – As Jane thinks she’s got a handle on her new life, there […]
