One Tree Hill: The Slippery Slope Continues 10

Posted by: haro1d The comedy just keeps on comin’. Last night’s OTH episode did not disappoint. To recap: Nanny Carrie continued her home-wrecker crusade, jumpin’ in the shower with Nathan just in time for the scene to be discovered by Haley. Peyton’s old boss showed up to steal Mia away, but with some clever theatrics, they managed to trick him into offering her promotion and distribution, publishing rights and maybe the moon, if I heard correctly. Quentin has a hairline fracture from punching out K-Fed and is likely to be benched for the season … if he lets the coaches […]

RAW Emotion: Mr. Kennedy

RAW‘s resident bigmouth is a former pickup-driving, beer-drinking country boy from the outskirts of Green Bay, Wis., who saw a big opportunity in a little microphone hanging from an arena ceiling and made sure, from that day on, that every pro-wrestling fan knows his name. Shrugging off a host of untimely injuries and public backlash for speaking out about the company’s recent doping scandal and the shocking downfall of the late Chris Benoit, Misterrrrrrr Kennedy (Kennedy!) remains loud, proud — and oh so popular with the fans — on his way to his second ‘Mania. Yeah, He Really Is Loud. […]

Jericho Nuke Notes: Oversight

Posted by Ryan Jericho, Season 2, Episode 4 “Oversight”: Hawkins receives another call from his mysterious new contact, John Smith, who continues to know his every move, and who informs Hawkins that he is one day away from being caught by Major Beck. Mimi discovers someone inside of Jennings & Rall is embezzling money. J&R is forcing all businesses to register with them, to “protect” them against illegal activity. Cheyenne has put a price freeze on retail goods, but J&R is charging businesses exorbitant prices — gouging, essentially — for supplies. This J&R monopoly has resulted in a black market […]

I Love The 80s on American Idol

Oh NEXT week is the new set. Next week. Thanks for the clarification, Ryan. I was wondering what was ‘new’ about this set. It’s ’80s night on American Idol. Not that anyone cares, that is. We’re all about the David Hernandez stripper story. Sweet. It’s on CNN, so it must be true. I’ve also heard that skunk-girl had a DUI or something. Finally, I’m getting my Idol-dirt. Luke had to dress like a girl once when he was a little kid. It was so embarrassing that it drives him into a Wham! song. Luke wanted to sing Wham! ‘Wake Me […]

Gunslinger Hangs It Up: Brett Favre Farewell Festival

Posted by Cubicle QB So, Brett Favre is retiring. Here in Wisconsin, there is surprise, sadness and perhaps a little relief that we finally have the answer to the “Is Brett Favre retiring?” thing we’ve been dealing with around this time for the past five or so years. I’m just a little disappointed that Favre retired before he could fulfill my 1993 prophecy that he would become “the next Don Majkowski.” Anyway, NFL Network is throwing Favre a 30-hour retirement party this week with Favre and Packers programs today through Saturday. Brett Favre Tribute on NFL Network All times Eastern. […]

“The Wire”: Late Editions

Posted by SH Lester, bless his heart, figured out Marlo’s cellphone code in time to catch Partlow heading to a warehouse out in the middle of nowhere for a fresh supply of product.

Just as the city poobahs are reeling over the phantom serial killer, they get a $16 million drug bust to make things feel a lot better. Lester forgoes the big public press conference, finding his joy instead through a silent encounter with Marlo, on his knees in handcuffs, furtively flashing him the clock […]

Getting Lost: “The Other Woman” Preview

Far be it from us to complain about the current season of Lost — it has been, in a word, awesome — but when we decided to start keeping track of the unanswered questions we had about the show, we didn’t think we’d threaten to take up all the space the Internet has to offer. Hopefully the show’s writers will throw us a freaking bone or two this week, so we can trim our list at least a little bit. But when the sneak peeks introduce a new character who we didn’t know was coming, we don’t hold out a […]

Down Boy!: A "Family Guy" Recap

Posted by Sarah Brian’s essay wins first prize in the Rising Writers contest, meaning that he gets a free trip to Martha’s Vineyard and the chance to read part of the essay at a celebratory dinner. And since Peter’s idiocy has been straining his relationship with Lois, Brian invites them to come along and have a vacation. But who’ll watch the kids? Cleveland’s busy, so they decide on Herbert: “You’ve spent time watching children, right?” “Yes, yes I have.” Herbert’s babysitting stint includes a sponge bath (unfortunately, not by the Griffin kid he’d hoped for), Scattergories, and a perverse reading […]

Smackdown’s MVP Talks About The Sport

Not so long ago, the man known to pro-wrestling fans as MVP was known to corrections officers at a series of South Florida correctional institutions as Alvin Burke, Jr., just another guy with an aptitude for wrong. Wrong place. Wrong time. Wrong choices. One, Darryl Davis, who moonlighted as a wrestler on the local indie circuit, saw something more: the physique and attitude that could bring Burke success (or at least a better outlet for his aggressions) inside the squared circle. He offered to train Burke for free, if he kept his nose clean on his next parole. Burke took […]
