    I'm mildly sad the blondes went away, because I'm somewhat shallow and staring at attractive, dumb people who can't figure out a compass isn't the worst thing in the world. But they certainly weren't long for the Race regardless. There's a passing of the torch-like moment each season when the last eye candy team is

    But one can argue that's not remotely the talent's fault. The writing and general booking has been so dreadful for so long that it's created a vacuum. WWE has an incredibly talented group of performers, but you wouldn't know it when Creative scripts them down to the letter. The 50/50 booking, the "lol Cena wins"

    Quite honestly, the Attitude Era is not the most watchable thing these days. It was a much needed step in the long run, but holy crap is there some vile stuff within. (There is, of course, a great main event scene and memorable characters within as well.) I think half of the reason WWE hasn't posted full access to

    I wish I could get into feds like PWG or ROH, because I do like some of the matches I've seen, but they both subscribe to one of the most annoying aspects of indie wrestling to me - matches prolonged way beyond the breaking point because they need to shove in 25 finishers.

    The politics behind the scenes is WAY more interesting than the current televised product. You have Vince McMahon and his tight-knit team of Creative, who have run the product for years upon years, and then you have HHH trying to do things from the opposite direction. HHH will eventually win, but it's going to take a

    The one that really drags for me (and partially because it involves the Scarecrow stuff) is Arkham Asylum. While it was a good idea to tell a flashback through a hallucination, it also led to the first of several terrible stealth sequences in the game. Gah!

    Man, I know reality casting has become a self-parody of itself and very inside baseball, but the TWINNIES GOT ON SURVIVOR? At least one of them is already gone. I hope the other one starves. Both were insufferable on TAR and I see their stupid mouths sealed one of their fates tonight.

    Shawn Levy's finest moment is still Zombie Nightmare, in which he played a total asshole creep who kept hitting on this older woman and was about to rape her until zombie Jon Mikl Thor murdered him. Alas, his death was deemed too graphic for the MST3K version.

    Bieber is just this crazy enigma. He's a total douchebag, but I wonder why people are still all in his face considering he hasn't done anything relevant in his chosen field in what…two or three years now?

    His co-hosts are terrible. Absolutely anti-funny in every way possible. Get rid of them and maybe I'll listen to Hardwick's silly flagship podcast.

    I enjoyed the Mike White WTF, but admittedly coming in I was hoping/wondering, "Is he going to talk about Amazing Race, is he going to talk about Amazing Race, etc." So of course he talks about it, has some funny stories and sounds borderline obsessed about wanting to return. And then the rest of the interview was

    I honestly don't understand the appeal of these type of shows. Unfunny jerks play tricks on people, somehow avoid being assaulted by the masses. The first thought in my mind when TruTV started airing those inane Impractical Jokers promo was, "Seriously, why can't we just line these people up and shoot them? They

    I haven't seen the original Best of the Best, but the sequel was one of those movies that got shown a ton late-night on Cinemax when I grew up. (You know, before the softcore!) I watched it again recently and it is still delightfully dumb. (Wayne Newton playing mostly himself, but slimier is usually acceptable in any

    Amazing Race! I haven't read (too many) spoilers about this season, but just looking at the teams certainly promises thrills. I wonder how far the guy with the amazing hair/mullet will go? What about the derby moms? Will the usual drama team go away quickly and how fast will everyone want to murder the YouTube squad?

    As mentioned below, Naruto ran into a huge problem with this when the manga transitioned to what would become Shippuden. The anime went an entire summer airing nothing but endless filler featuring secondary characters doing nothing of interest. It effectively killed the audience for a good long time. Did the U.S.

    As a off-again, on-again wrestling fan lukewarm about the current product, I really wish Johnson (and all the other part-timers) would just stay away. The WWE however needs them for ratings due to how absolutely incompetent they've been in creating new stars over the past decade.

    I have NO idea why the Telltale game is getting absolutely zero buzz beyond the gaming community. Not promoting it because it is based on the comics and not the TV show isn't an excuse. No one appears smart enough to get behind something amazing…as opposed to getting behind yet another shooter that is not only

    I don't watch reality TV (and mostly shrug in complete disgust when The Soup just fires off show after show after show that should not exist during Reality Show Clip Time) but always get semi-fascinated with Married To Jonas if I ever flip around to it. It's just so…pointless! I mostly focus on the wife, who never
