The cancel-happy Fox has taken its first victim of the 2008-2009 TV season. The mildly amusing and thoroughly enjoyable sitcom Do Not Disturb has officially been cancelled, after airing only 3 episodes. With a recognizable cast, a handful of cool characters and at least a couple of good laughs per episode, Do Not Disturb is […]
Summer Roberts– she’s tough and feisty and independent and funny and caring and smart in ways that are not immediately obvious, and she loves Seth. I just finished season 3 and she may be, at this moment, my favourite OCcharacter. She’s the onion of the show. Big Brother Episode 28– “swim club”, “late night”, “Renny’s […]
Spot the differences- I dare you. After the buzz that last year’s premiere of Gossip Girl created, its home network, The CW, is doing all they can to replicate the effect (note that I didn’t use the word “success” because on a revenue, ratings, business level Gossip Girldidn’t deliver). Gossip Girl‘s second season is off […]
Dylan Moran Known to most as the guy with the book down his trousers from Notting Hill, Dylan Moran is probably the best standup comedian I’ve ever heard. My friend Mack, who is often feeding me obscure comedy I don’t enjoy, forced me to watch Moran’s brilliant britcom Black Books then an hour and a half of his standup […]
OK, after a week off for a family emergency, I’m back and trying to make up for lost time with a double dose of weekly obsessions… Avenue Q I just came home from seeing the touring production. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time- go see it. The lead plays both Princeton […]
MEGHAN AND SEAN. Felicity’s eccentric former roommate and Ben’s lovable landlord are the saving graces of a mediocre season 3. The unlikely couple are hilarious and adorable together. Amidst a boring Ben/Felicity relationship, a severe Noel character meltdown, an over-the-top drug/shooting incident and stupid Elena romance problems, the fact that Meghan and Sean were given so […]
Felicity’s Haircut Most people hated it when Felicity’s response to getting her heart broken was to cut off her signature long curls. In fact, the change of hair in season 2 is (somewhat jokingly) charged with the decline in the show’s ratings. I, on the other hand, love her haircut. I think if you’ve got […]
I forgot to add one of the most important obsessions of my week… Justin Timberlake hosting the ESPYS. Now I’m not a particular Justin fan and there’s really only 1 sport I care about at all (baseball) but I got caught up watching the annual sports award show because he could not have been a […]
