    It's almost a blessing that licensed games (especially for children's franchises) have taken a dive recently because of better exposure and word-of-mouth. The downfall of THQ was in part because their licensed game business became unprofitable. (And yes, there was UDraw, but every small thing hurt them.)

    Not a bad season, but the producers continue to take the easy way out on tasks, team selection and terrible habits from the teams.

    I'm rooting for the Derby Moms, if only because the other three teams were stunningly annoying with their stupid alliance. Alliance talk shouldn't be on TAR, period. As much as people disliked Team YouTube, them and the moms didn't purposely want to screw over other teams just because. Last week's Double U-Turn might

    One of my favorite continued running gags on The Soup is Joel McHale's increasingly annoyed summaries of 'Finding Bigfoot'. And then every clip only justifies his disgust.

    I'd be more than happy if all the 24-hour news networks went away, except maybe a revived attempt at old CNN Headline News. There's simply no need for any of these networks, especially after the way they "covered" things this past week.

    All shows are meant to make money, yes. But there's a point where all successful shows go so far off their original purpose that there's just not anything else to say. And every time I glance at current Simpsons plots and/or even watch an episode, I just wonder why.

    I haven't seriously watched this show in years, but reading descriptions about how Marge is setting up sort-of S&M dungeons because she's disappointed in Homer? I'm not suggesting the show was ever reluctant about pushing boundaries, but that type of plot sounds desperate, soulless and normal for the type of show that

    Right, I know about the contract stuff…but there has to be some amount of money that tells Robertson to go screw himself and go pollute someone else's airwaves.

    In all seriousness, it's clear ABC Family wants to get the hell away from the old Family Channel image…so what's stopping them from just paying off CBN and telling them to go spread '700 Club' garbage somewhere else? It's honestly pretty hilarious how (sometimes) late they broadcast that show complete with blatant

    Also want to clarify that I grew up in rural, ultra-red western Iowa and have only moved to somewhat larger towns. It is an atmosphere that I absolutely loathe - this realization that all hopes and dreams die in this backwards world.

    This is a hard topic for me, because expressing my absolute disgust for these shows would involve insulting a good portion of the U.S. and other countries and…I don't think that is entirely fair. I don't understand how these type of shows are an "escape" or an "honest" look at someone else's life, and I'm not sure why

    Enjoyed this episode. It was fairly light, but easily digestible. The plot-heavy episodes can wear you down after a while.

    With the Internet being more and more crucial in how people receive their news, why is there THREE major U.S. cable news networks and several minor ones? They honestly feel like dinosaurs at this point. I'd be happy if all three major networks went off the air and the bright spots from each network go on to do better

    Fallon's not very good, (and man, those Capital One ads where he dances to absolute non-jokes are brutal) but why hasn't anyone told Lorne Michaels that maybe HE IS the problem? Doesn't anyone else want to see a SNL not produced by him? Yes, I'm aware of the Season That Must Not Be Named, but that was a long time ago.

    Until roughly two weeks ago WWE was more than happy to not tell you (unless you can pay attention during the commercial breaks) that Rock was even in G.I. Joe.

    I'm also weird in that I sort of…agree with (or at least understand) some of his more extreme legislation, but I tend to draw the line when it comes to moralizing entertainment. Video games are here to stay, like them or not. And Bloomberg can't be stupid enough to assume that the audiences who grew up with games

    Was looking for the Wade Barrett-related thread for this movie. Leaving impressed and satisfied. Thanks everyone!

    That title is too classy (and coherent) to be for a Sci-Fi Original…oh, this ISN'T one of those?
