Rest of EastEnders Season 20 and Beyond…

With only eight more episodes of EastEnders to go this season, there’s still a lot of excitement to look forward to in fictional Walford.

Rest of EastEnders Series 19…

Here’s what’s coming up very soon in EastEnders. The storyline is five years old in England, but this is the point we’ve reached on San Jose’s KTEH channel 54.

New Rules to Live By…

Bill Maher has espoused hundreds of New Rules to live by on his cable show. I’ve culled through the whole series of them to come up with this short list of gems — well, at least a short list of those that actually made me snort when I read them!

New Rule: Not everything is a [...]

Doctor Who 2005: Bad Wolf…

Next week’s episode of Doctor Who in the UK is entitled Bad Wolf, which we know — thanks to previews at the end of last week’s episode — to be centered around some bizarre game show, with the Doctor and Rose playing versions of such “modern” shows as Big Brother and The Weakest Link. Anne [...]

The Future of EastEnders…

I stumbled on to the official BBC EastEnders website yesterday in an effort to confirm my suspicions that Louise Jameson, who plays matriarch Rosa Di Marco, was the same Louise Jameson that played Doctor Who’s Leela, an uncivilized savage companion for Tom Baker’s portrayal of the fourth Doctor. Leela was a sort of Eliza Doolittle, [...]

Survivor Amazon…

I love Survivor, although not necessary as much as I used to, and I’m just as much a testosterone-infested, perhaps overly confident male as the next. But I wouldn’t want to be stuck on the guy’s tribe on Survivor Amazon.
The first ten seconds of the show likely painted the unfortunate picture of the season. It [...]

An Evening of Finales…

A difficult effort, but I managed to stay off the Internet for most of Wednesday and Thursday, avoiding any news, previews, or spoilers of the Amazing Race or Survivor. Since our holiday party was on Wednesday evening, we taped AR and waited until the next day to see it. Wow! An evening of finales! No [...]

John Edward, Crossing Palms…

More proof that life has not changed in a thousand years. A millennium ago, charlatans and quacks posed as mediums, claiming the ability to foresee the future or speak with the dead, misleading their patrons and robbing them of their fortunes. Today is no exception.
John Edward, today’s best-known practitioner of mediumship, falls heavily into the [...]

Them Old is Bilk…

Seconds after the telegram was revealed on episode 4 of the Mole II, I told the crowd in the room, “I wish I could see that telegram again!” I never was able to get a good enough copy of it, but apparently the numbers at the bottom of the telegram read “843 665347 0024 5500″. [...]

Surviving Survivor…

Looks like Survivor VI is taking applications until July 3rd. While I still love the game (although it’s been replaced by Amazing Race as my favorite show), I just don’t think I’m up for it as much as I used to be.
Oh, sure, I’d love the experience, the new (possible) friendships, the potential prize money, [...]
