The Office: Baby Shower

October 17, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

Posted by Mike, Ryan and johnnysweeptheleg Synopsis: Michael is preparing for the arrival of Jan’s baby by running through various birthing scenarios with Dwight and a watermelon, and planning an office baby shower, which he regrettably requests be golden. Out of respect for Jan’s bloated feelings while she is in the “terminal stages of her pregnancy,” he’s even prepared to act coldly toward Holly, because she’s one of the most attractive people in the office. (He’ll also be treating Ryan the same way, he says … which is weird, because Ryan does not appear in this episode.) Jan throws a […]

Survivor: Gabon, Week 4: G-Fizzle

October 16, 2008 Jill Klitz Comments Off

Sugar returns from Exile and joins the Fang tribe and her buddy Ace, who tells the camera he’s got Sugar in his pocket (which, I’ve been told, can lead to ants in your pants). She tells folks that she spent her time on Exile in the Sugar shack, explaining that she gave up on searching for the hidden immunity idol last time, so this time she chose comfort. Yeah, you’re not really a good liar, Sugar. Crystal correctly believes Sugar has the idol and says, “I’ve got to get rid of her.” Both tribes get to know the native animals […]

“One Tree Hill”: The Slippery Slope Never Ends 6.5

October 16, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

Posted by: haro1d Despite all of the drama in their lives, the good fortune just never ends for those kids in Tree Hill. Word is that James Van Der Beek of Dawson’s Creek fame will be swinging through Tree Hill to offer Lucas a movie deal for one of his books. But the real news here at The Slippery Slope NEVER ENDS (I suppose I should introduce my web-requisite acronym: OTH: TSSNE) is that rather than talk to any of the nicety-nice-nice characters from OTH, look here soon for our conversation with Daphne Zuniga, who plays downright cold Victoria Davis […]

Scariest Scary Movie #16: Rosemary’s Baby

October 16, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

Rosemary’s Baby (1968, Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon) Pray for Rosemary’s baby Quick plot: In a nutshell: Sex and the City Goes to Hell. A young couple moves into a New York apartment building with some strange neighbors. Things begin to spiral out of control when she becomes pregnant, and her husband seems to become very distant. It becomes apparent that these crazy neighbors are actually Satanists, and they believe the mom-to-be is carrying the son of Lucifer. Scariest scene: Well, those hazy shots of Satan having his way with a woozy Mia Farrow are pretty icky. But hands […]

Scariest Scary Movie #17 – The Omen

October 16, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

The Omen (1976, Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner) It’s all for you Damien! 6 6 6 Quick Plot: After a little switcheroo at the hospital, a nice couple leaves with a baby destined to become the Antichrist. Scariest Scene: Let’s be honest, there are some gruesome deaths in this movie. Any one of them would be enough to turn your stomach. But the idea that Satan (or just pure evil, if that’s more to your taste) is hiding behind some sweet boy’s face is even scarier. Final Say: Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar-winning score adds a lot of drama to this […]

Project Runway Comes to a Fabulous Close

October 15, 2008 Ruth Boulet Comments Off

by Ruth Anne Boulet So this is the episode that declares it all — who will the winner of this season of Project Runway be? Well, if it’s not Leanne, I’ll eat my hat. But I’ve got about 58 minutes until I know for sure. Then I’ll be able to flip over to America’s Next Top President. Hey, and why did we not get a recap/let’s rip on everyone episode? I mean, yeah, it’s a cheesy reason to have a clip show, but we also got to hear what designers REALLY thought of each other. In a very TV sort […]

ANTM Wimps Out With a Clip Show

October 15, 2008 Ruth Boulet Comments Off

by Ruth Anne Boulet Nothing happened in this episode, as it was a clip show. The only thing that made this interesting was Samantha’s comments from the peanut gallery.

"Sports Soup" On Versus: Our Compliments To The Chef

October 15, 2008 Ryan Berenz Comments Off

Posted by Cubicle QB I checked out the Oct. 13 premiere of the new sports comedy show Sports Soup (airing Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10pm ET on Versus). I thought we were in for the worst when Matt Iseman opened the series with the joke, “I’m Matt Iseman, and like the Dallas Cowboys, I can’t prevent a blocked punt, either.” Ugh. Fortunately, after that Iseman got right into the clips, and the show got progressively funnier. True, a lot of it — like T.O.’s weird Urkelesque outfit, Def Leppard’s lead singer setting the Stanley Cup upside down, and Chinese table […]

Dexter Season 2: Flawed Brain, Deadly Daddy

October 15, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

By Elaine B Dexter coming to grips with fatherhood, as well as the shortcomings of his own father, created a killer episode. Any who worried that thoughts of a bouncing baby Morgan would soften Dexter were happily disappointed. Because, of course, impending fatherhood is stressful, and Dexter has such a unique way of dealing with stress. And if imminent daddyhood didn’t have Dex sharpening his scalpels, there’s his new best friend, Miguel Prado. Prado is clearly the head of his own family, confessing to Dexter over shots of rum that his father was narcissistic drunk with such a high opinion […]
