Greek: 2.2 ‘Crush Landing’ Recap
September 4, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: September 2, 2008
As the so-called Senior Stockades and Crush Party roll around, the Cartwright siblings continue to experience their own fair share of difficulties on this episode of Greek.
If it isn’t Rusty seriously questioning his choice of major, super-nerdy Honors Engineering, when he grows bored with an advanced seminar in polymers, then it’s Casey stubbornly (and very slowly) processing her anger at Frannie for tonguing her ex Evan in public. Casey then must struggle with the realization that her latest potential lover is also Ashleigh’s long lost Hot Ness Monster from Spring Break.
Rusty does the right …read more
‘Office’ Star Jenna Fischer Shows Fans Her Love
August 1, 2008 by Chandra
I know it’s been a while and I don’t have a clip (damn you RedLasso for not warning beta members you were about to lock us out of our accounts!), but I do have a couple of photos from The Office star Jenna Fischer’s June 2 trip to David Letterman’s Late Show.
As the photos clearly show, the actress seems just as gracious and nice in real life as her roundly loved character Pam Beesly is on her NBC sitcom.
Take a look after the jump to see Fischer interacting with fans, signing autographs, and even posing with them as they take …read more
My Boys: 2.1 ‘The Transitioning’ Recap
June 19, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: June 12, 2008
Let’s get it over with right away: the guy PJ chose to ask along on her and Stephanie’s trip to Italy is none other than her fellow sportswriter Bobby. Now that the not-so-big-anymore secret is out of the bag, here’s what else happened on the very nice second-season premiere of My Boys.
Although PJ initially thinks Bobby shares her romantic feelings for him, probably because of such incredibly grand gestures as upgrading her seat to first class (do you know how much a first-class plane ticket costs these days?!), it quickly becomes clear that Bobby …read more
The Bill Engvall Show: 2.1 ‘But, That’s Not Fair’ Recap
June 19, 2008 by Chandra
Original Air Date: June 12, 2008
One notable trait of The Bill Engvall Show is that the series’ emphasis on family-friendly plots makes it extremely simple to recount what happened.
There’s a lot to be said for such simplicity, too, in this day and age when “edgy” reigns on the tube. In that respect, I admire comedian Bill Engvall’s determination to carry on with his preferred style of comedy that’s appropriate for many age brackets rather than just one or two.
On the second-season premiere, two troubling situations cause dad Bill major grief. First, his three children have somehow adopted the …read more
Guess Who’s Coming to ‘Samantha Who?’
June 18, 2008 by Chandra
According to TV Guide, which has it according to its former resident gossip hound Michael Aussielo, Men in Trees star James Tupper has signed on for at least three episodes of Samantha Who?, slated to air during the upcoming second season. Tupper has already started filming the first episode this very week, in fact.
Of course, the actor will be playing a potential love interest for Christina Applegate’s title amnesiac because what other uses do attractive men of a certain age have on a sitcom about an attractive single woman of a certain age?
In addition, the character’s name is reportedly …read more
Reno 911!: 5.13 ‘Wiegel’s Dad Returns’ Preview
June 18, 2008 by Chandra
On “Wiegel’s Dad Returns,” the next episode of Reno 911!, exactly what the title says happens, and it turns out that Papa Wiegel, just released from jail, loves the strip clubs almost as much as Wiegel’s colleagues in the Sheriff’s Department.
But before the network airs the episode, Comedy Central wants fans to take a look at the following clip featuring Lieutenant Dangle and Deputy Junior as they try to take down a Thai hooker ring masquerading as a fast-food delivery joint.
For some reason, “You want some hoochie with that?” simply doesn’t have quite the right ring to it…
Reno …read more
My Boys: 2.2 ‘Dinner Party’ Preview
June 17, 2008 by Chandra
Coming up on this week’s June 19th episode of My Boys, “Dinner Party,” Stephanie really and truly has finished her relationship book (Dang, that was fast!), and not one, not two, but three publishers are eager to acquire it.
Of course, all of the quick attention makes her even more self-confident than usual about her wisdom, and Stephanie advises PJ to throw a party for single people in order to find the guy for her. PJ agrees but comes to regret that decision sooner rather than later, although Kenny has a swell time.
A preview clip for the episode follows.

Comedy Talk: Kevin Nealon Visits Chelsea Handler
June 16, 2008 by Chandra
As fans know, the fourth season of Weeds kicked off tonight at 10pm EST, and star Kevin Nealon did his part last Friday to help spread the news far and wide by visiting Chelsea Handler’s E! chat show Chelsea Lately.
Surprisingly enough, after an initial clip from the Showtime series before the Saturday Night Live veteran walked out, Nealon and Handler proceeded to talk about little else besides his daddy status.
Nealon has even written a book about his late entry into fatherhood — last month’s release Yes, You’re Pregnant, But What About Me? — and he shares a few funny details …read more
Lifetime Announces New Original Sitcom ‘Rita Rocks’
One of the best pieces of television development news last week came from basic cable’s Lifetime. The network that prides itself on its programming geared towards women announced the pickup of its first original sitcom in ten years, a half-hour comedy called Rita Rocks.
The series is slated to premiere this fall and will star Nicole Sullivan (Kim Possible, The King of Queens) as title character Rita Clements, a married working mother of two daughters who attempts to regain her youth by returning to her earlier happy days as a garage-band guitarist.
Other cast members include Richard Ruccolo (Joey, Two Guys …read more
