Going into Thursday night’s “X Factor” USA results show, there was really one question worth asking: was America really going to get behind the groups, or find a way to sandbag them yet again? These acts all sank like rocks the moment that America had a chance to actually vote for them, and Simon Cowell […]
After a few episodes of “The Vampire Diaries” season 4 that made the show appear as though it was stuck in first gear, Thursday night was pretty much the equivalent of getting a shot of adrenaline straight into your face. There was so much going on, and while not all of it made sense, it […]
One week after its worst episode of the season, “American Horror Story: Asylum” came back with one of the best. They cut out the superfluous stuff in the present, focused entirely on the characters at Briarcliff, and managed to something else that was supremely effective that has not been done yet this season: have some […]
What a crazy, brilliant game “Survivor: Philippines” is turning out to be. You have so many moving parts, no obvious six-person alliance taking people out one by one, and you really get the feeling here that there is exciting stuff around every turn. By far, this is the best post-merge game so far in years, […]
When we first wrote about “Top Chef: Seattle,” we did so under the impression that the show was actually going to abandon the terrible “audition round ” phase of the competition from last season, and actually start off with having the contestants in Seattle taking part in some of the traditional competitions. However, that wasn’t […]
After a week off of the air due to Halloween, “Duck Dynasty” returned to A&E Wednesday night for an all-new episode, and it was hard not to be happy happy happy about it. The first of the two episodes was almost like an episode of “Hoarders,” as we learned just what sort of junk that […]
When we first heard that “The Voice” was airing directly against “The X Factor” Wednesday night, there was a part that wanted to just throw Cee Lo Green and Carson Daly out the window for Simon Cowell. Then, the show surprised us: not only is “The Voice” a better production at the moment (no Khloe Kardashian, better […]
“The X Factor” USA tried hard to up its game in its second week … but did it really? After hearing Khloe Kardashian say “yes” at the start of every teleprompter line, we’re not so sure. The show is still far too bright, the sound mix in the crowd is far too loud, and the […]
For those of you who watched Tuesday night’s new episode of “Sons of Anarchy” season 5 rather than the Presidential election, you really didn’t miss anything. As a matter of fact, President Obama was called as the champ just mere minutes after the episode came to a close. As for what actually happened this week, […]
Was anyone really watching “Ink Master” up against the Presidential Election Tuesday night outside of us? Airing a new episode here was exactly the best programming idea that Spike TV has ever had, even if it was an attempt at counter-programming in hopes that some people were growing tired of hearing the results come in and wanted […]
