I thought the live skits were bad, but Eli was good. Any time Suedkis has to explain the joke it rubs me the wrong way. It seems like that's a mechanic of a lot of his skits. The Helga Lately skit was the lone exception because of how it skewered Chelsea Lately. Basically the whole show could be done in Swedish with a

His performance as Drew Peterson was almost giddy. Too bad he's not going to get to chew the scenery in this one.

The "70% More Expensive" sign was the best visual gag of TV last night.

I wasn't feeling this episode like last season's. Structurally it was on point, but it just wasn't all that entertaining. I did like Tracey's line that he wasn't so much a reader, more of a masturbator. Part of the fun of the Real Housewives is that they don't break the 4th wall. They are making a TV show, but they

I actually watched this last night just because I really was too lazy to change the channel during my Tetris Battle playing. Jim and Dwight must be in a bubble to reveal on-camera how they've been scamming the company. The production crew of this bullshit documentary must have infinite resources to constantly have

I would have picked a Hydra Assault on NYC but what do I know. Loki with aliens. Sure. alright. Those Norse gods always need to rely on rando alien races.

That picture makes want to punch him in his fat smug face attached to his fat ever-growing head. Seriously fuck that guy and the agent that keeps getting him work. If you are going to interview him, ask him about how he's managed to survive the Tenacious D movie bombing, and Gulliver's Travels bombing at the box

I thought about Don Jr's reaction to Aubrey. Say what you will about Donald Trump, the Trump progeny are class acts. I felt that he had an appropriate reaction of shock and personal detachment. Aubrey has become super unhinged with her declaration that Arsenio Hall is a 5 year old baby that cross dresses. Isn't the

I felt the show would be a window into what SNL could be if it was funny. There was a lot of funny sketch work, and a great energy from the audience. Contrast that to watching SNL where people tend to watch now just to see how the guest host will be utilized.

I was hoping Jack Black's career was over after Gulliver's Travels. What a shame.

Except for the Persians, Egyptians, Ethiopians, Indians (yeah really in Bombay) and Chinese, us European Jews tend to be Caucasian. White is a whole different classification that doesn't include us Jews. When hate groups say "White Power", that excludes Jews no matter what the skin color. Being "White" requires a

She's definitely chubby compared to the men the girls hook up with. My point is that  the casting of the women is varied among body types. The guys in these characters' lives are either rail thin or beefcakes. It's like the reverse of any sitcom where the guy is a schlub and the wife is a size zero.

Hamilton Nolan of Gawker uses "white" as a pejorative and an indictment against someone's character. Especially if that person is rich and male.  It's lazy and something that self-hating white people do to appease their liberal white guilt. Girls should be credited for featuring several Jewish characters on the show.

He's very important for a guy whose show doesn't even break the top 100 rated cable shows on Friday. I would watch the shit out of any show though that just featured him being the smug asshole he is to people's faces. Like that intern that got him the wrong kind of sandwich. Or then playboy bunny that believes in God.

Since the long break from last season I haven't considered Mad Men to be essential viewing anymore. I did watch this episode last night after Real Housewives of NJ.  That being said, I've been in the same spot as Don. While I wasn't trying to control my wife, my fiancee had said something to me equally as cutting and

I can't wait to watch this. I do love that Aubrey vs Arsenio is sort of being teased as a death match. That's twice that total war has been delayed due to a win. I have a feeling Dayana makes top 4 and gets fired immediately because she's literally been skating by. Clay losing to Aubrey has got to sting for him, but

That guy had to be pretty successful to get in a position to fail this hard. 

The Lifetime Movie about the Bling Ring managed to not jack up the ongoing case. It bodes badly when your production is outclassed by Lifetime.

This review doesn't even scratch the surface with the problems of the finale. The whole episode is just so poorly written and conceived. I could really put the screws to this abomination Plinkett Style with help from a video editor. The only thing that has ever surpassed it for disappointment is The Phantom Menace.

Of course this exists. Everything exists in Hollywood. Doesn't matter if it's shit. If it's an I.P., there's a script for it. I'd love to get my hands on the Sprockets script. Apparently that was the one that cemented Mike Meyers's legend as an amazing asshole before The Love Guru killed his career.
