The Road Begins: GOLF CHANNEL's "Highway 18"

July 7, 2008 Ryan Berenz 1

Posted by Ryan Anyone who’s played golf knows that it’s a stressful game. But a typical round doesn’t also include a road race, tough trivia questions, getting dropped off in a swamp and having eight people trying to get you kicked off the course. GOLF CHANNEL’s new 10-episode reality competition series Highway 18, premiering July 22 at 10pm ET, puts five teams of two golfers on the ultimate road rally through Florida, as they face golf challenges both on and off the course to stave off elimination and be the last team standing. “There’s a race element to it, there’s […]

Swingtown: Harry Reems, Janet and Rosy Perfection-Part Deux

July 5, 2008 Channel Guide Staff 2

By ElaineB Sometime in the ’70s (and it is probably a good thing I can’t remember exactly when), I got invited to my first Tupperware party. The young mom hosting it was, at that time, a lot like Janet – still trapped in expectations reminiscent of her own mother’s. I got as far as her front door. There her husband and mine and few other guys had congregated with a couple of six packs since they had nothing better to do and the house was off limits. I hung out with them for most of the party, then, like Trina, […]

Ludacris On Battleground Earth

July 3, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

If you haven’t seen this commercial for Battleground Earth: Ludacris vs. Tommy Lee on Planet Green, check it out. Trust us, it’s worth 30 seconds of your time. (And anyone who thinks Tommy Lee is joking about not showering for seven days hasn’t read The Dirt.) The show, in which rapper/actor Chris “Ludacris” Bridges goes head-to-head with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee to see which musician can lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle, doesn’t premiere until August 3. But we interviewed Ludacris this week, and this is a sampling of what he had to say about the show: Some people might […]

Night Shift: Antonio Sabato Jr.

July 2, 2008 Jeff Pfeiffer 1

Posted by Jeff Pfeiffer Although he has also found fame as a model, movie actor, and recent performer on Celebrity Circus, Antonio Sabato Jr. may be best remembered and beloved by daytime fans as Jagger Cates, his breakout role on General Hospital in the mid ’90s. Producers of General Hospital: Night Shift, premiering its second season July 22 on SoapNet, realizing Jagger’s enduring popularity, have brought him back as a “legacy” character. I gave Sabato a call (sorry, ladies, I can’t divulge his cell number) to get his thoughts on the character, returning to the GH universe, what’s up on […]

Night Shift Season Premiere

July 2, 2008 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

Posted By RabbitEars A little more info on the July 22 (11pm ET) season 2 premiere of SoapNet’s General Hospital: Night Shift — Things get off to a dramatic start right away in an episode called “Crash.” General Hospital turns to chaos (again) when a car crashes through the ER, injuring pregnant Robin (Kimberly McCullough) and killing one staff member (not saying who, of course!). Meanwhile, Jagger (Antonio Sabato Jr.) returns to Port Charles after 13 years, with a surprise for Robin (hasn’t she had enough already with the crash?). Sparks fly between Touissant (Billy Dee Williams) and Epiphany (Sonya […]

Nashville Star: Week Four Recap

July 1, 2008 Channel Guide Staff 5

This week’s Nashville Star begins with Billy Ray Cyrus’ non-Miley daughter Noah introducing her dad. It’s family night, which means we’ll be seeing the final nine contestants get surprise visits from family members during their rehearsals. It also means that those family members will are in attendance to witness this week’s performances, which will each be two songs long — or, more accurately, 1.5 songs, since the second songs are nothing more than 30-second snippets. First up is Ashlee Hewitt, whose entire 19-member family arrives to lend support. If the crowd seems a little louder for Ashlee this week, you’ll […]

Night Shift Relives GH Legacy

June 30, 2008 Jeff Pfeiffer Comments Off

Posted By RabbitEars Joining the second season of General Hospital: Night Shift, which debuts July 22 on SoapNet, are old General Hospital characters (referred to by SoapNet as “legacy characters”) Jagger Cates and Robert Scorpio, played by original actors Antonio Sabato Jr. and Tristan Rogers, respectively. Rogers played the Aussie super agent on GH throughout the 1980s, and reprised the role briefly in a few episodes during a 2006 storyline. His appearance in Night Shift brings him into contact with the character played by Kimberly McCullough — Robin Scorpio, Robert’s daughter. Robert checks into the hospital with failing health, and […]

Jonas Brothers Star In Disney’s “Camp Rock”

June 30, 2008 Barb Oates Comments Off

JoBros fans have less than a month to wait until the worldwide premiere of Disney Channel‘s Camp Rock, a music-filled movie starring Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas, and a slew of other Disney stars. The film’s premise is a bit Dirty Dancing meets Cinderella, where an arrogant musician (played by Joe Jonas) meets a talented yet unsure young singer named Mitchie (played by Demi Lovato). They struggle to fit in, ultimately learning to believe in themselves and to be who they really want to be. The film airs June 20 on Disney Channel, June 21 on ABC and June 22 […]

The Two Coreys: Career Moves and Making Amends

June 30, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

It’s another week, and we’ve got two more episodes of The Two Coreys to dissect. “Career Moves” begins with Corey Haim trying to get his career back on track. Wait, hasn’t he been here before? OK, that was a lame excuse to show a video most of us have already seen, but does it ever really get old? Anyway, Haim can’t get work without a publicist and he can’t get a publicist, he thinks, without an assistant — so he sets out to hire a personal assistant to make a few calls on his behalf. Based on his phone conversations […]

Morgan Spurlock: “30 Days” In The Life

June 28, 2008 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

For such a politically charged show, Morgan Spurlock does his best to keep his personal feelings a mystery when it comes to 30 Days. The documentary series that takes the axiom of “walk a mile in another man’s shoes” to new lengths — 30 days, to be exact — returns for its long-delayed third season June 3 on FX. This season’s episodes include a gun-control proponent living with a pistol-packing family, a same-sex couple and their adopted children hosting a woman opposed to gay rights, a former NFL player spending time in a wheelchair, and an avid hunter moving in […]
