I Found a Mistake on the Internet!
The kid in Journey to the Center of the Earth is Brendan Fraser's NEPHEW, not his son.

I stuck with Ugly Betty more out of habit than any real affection for the show. I am not really into soaps, so that style of storytelling doesn't really hook me, but now that it is done, I think I will miss the idea of Ugly Betty being on TV more than the actual show. It was a show that wore its sentimentality on

Why Does No One Ever Admit…
…that this show would NEVER have worked as a series? It's central conceit is a one-off joke. It is a funny one, but I'd be sick of it by episode 2.

Ahem
Has Hollywood already forgotten about the seminal Jessica Simpson vehicle "Major Movie Star" (AKA "Private Valentine")?

The Trouble
The problem with this episode is that they hedged their bets too much. They needed to go whole hog for the "sexual addicition epidemic" or whole hog for the "we're pretending lots of sex is a disease" idea. Throwing in scenes like monkey weakened both.

Mine
Mine is ordering at least three entrees per person from a chinese restaurant to sit and watch "Eat Drink Man Woman" but that seems kind of obvious. Part of it I think stems from the fact that the first time I watched it I was 24 hours into a 5 day fast. I vowed "Never Again… Never Again."

Southland is a show that focuses on the cops jobs as well as their personal lives and interactions. It isn't as deep a show as The Wire, but that was a major aspect of both shows.

Avon!
How do you not mention that Wood Harris, AKA Avon Barksdale from The Wire, was brought in to play a drug kingpin? Bringing in a Wire vet will not elicit favorable comparisons.

Still no.

Anyone who didn't like the ending
of "A Serious Man" clearly didn't get the joke.

You seem to want to give the creative team extra credit for effort. This is not grade school gym class.

He won the Carnies' "Air Cello" competition

Do they HAVE public relations? Is the public aware of the show at this point? I don't think you can classify any of the characters as "popular" since no one watches anymore.

The Perfect Episode to Go Out On
I loved it for all the reasons everyone has mentioned about how bad it was. Just think how dissappointed you would have been had you tuned in and discovered that there was some grand end game awaiting us, and that all of the lesbians and tumor dreams and cellos were going to come

Not the souvenier stand!!!! Now where am I gonna get a giant blow up hammer?

Between Peter and Sylar in the dreamscape and Bennet and Claire taking a trip through the mid-80s, this has to be one of the wheel-spinningest episodes of all time.

My Thoughts as I Watched Last Night
Guess what time it is! That's right! It is "Complain about a TV show I could much more easily just not watch" time!

Hmmm
Using a sledgehammer against a giant metaphor. Why does that feel like a perfect image for this show?

Membership?
How does one gain membership in the Razzie Academy?

Joe Propinka - Are you seriously complaining that Klaus, KLAUS! doesn't get enough to do on American Dad? He is a TALKING GOLDFISH. How many storylines can they really drag out of that? Yes, every now and then they give him a B story, like a while back when Haley let him have a haircut, but let's not pretend he is
