Most Shocking Last Comic Standing Ever…EVER!

Commercials for last night’s Last Comic Standing boasted the “Most Shocking Audition Ever”. The episode started with more fanfare than a Rockin’ New Year’s Eve.
We watched a ticker in the top right-hand corner of the screen, creeping closer and closer to the moment when our minds would explode on impact after viewing the MOST SHOCKING […]

Weezer Finds Old Groove Just In Time For 6th Disc

There are some albums everyone should have in their collection. If you’re a fan of popular music, or at least good music in general, Weezer’s first self-titled album, now affectionately titled The Blue album, is one of those. In ten simple ditties written about things as simple as surfing and hangin’ out in the garage […]

The Funny Just Arrived: Last Comic Standing, Episode 2

Last week’s episode of Last Comic Standing was unremarkable at best. There were a few standouts, but on the whole, things were off to a piss poor start. Tonight’s episode made up for the last week’s lackluster laughs ten-fold.
Bill Bellamy and British assistant host Fearne headed to Los Angeles and Houston to scout for top […]

No, I Don’t Think You Can Dance. Period.

30-year-old, Dallas resident Brian Davidson made his debut on last night’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance. Though he was on camera for less than three minutes, he managed to offend, sully and for all intense and purposes ruin the following things for the viewing public:
- Dancing
- The state of Texas
- America in […]

Batter Up! It’s First Date Time On “The Bachelorette!”

After last week’s two-hour premiere, I didn’t think I’d be able to stomach another double-helping of The Bachelorette. But it’s amazing what one can accomplish when fueled by BBQ’d foods and beer.
Here’s the gist:
The winners of last week’s first impression roses, Jeremy, Jesse and Richard, got to reside in DeAnna’s mansion while the rest of […]

Celebrate Memorial Day With Your Very Own Brat Fest

I am a long-time resident of Madison, Wisconsin. We’re surrounded by lakes, there are nice bike paths, and we have a bangin’ farmer’s market, but my very favorite thing about this place is Brat Fest.
For those you not familiar with brats (rhymes with knots) or bratwursts as they’re formally known, they are delicious sausages hailing […]

“Last Comic Standing” Falls Flat In Season Premiere

Last Comic Standing is a funny reality show…no pun intended. You don’t get too attached to the host (Bill Bellamy is great but I think he peaked during Cousin Skeeter) and because of an American Idol style set-up, you don’t know who to root for for a few weeks. Instead, you get 3 to 4 […]

“First Impressions Are Everything” The Bachelorette Season Premiere

The Bachelorette returned last night with a two-hour premiere.
Our bachleorette is 26-year-old Real-estate agent, and (as host Chris Harrison reminds us) America’s sweetheart DeAnna Pappas. After she was left heartbroken by former Season 11 Bachelor Brad Womack, Deanna is optimistic about finding her true love among a mansion full of suitors.
Tonight the Bachelorette had the […]
