America’s Sexiest Sportscaster 2: Obviously Erin Andrews

November 14, 2007 Ryan Berenz 5

[Update: Look, the spelling bee just got a whole lot sexier!] Playboy.com is running an online poll to determine America’s sexiest female sportscaster. The candidates are: Erin Andrews (ESPN), Colleen Dominguez (ESPN), Alex Flanagan (NFL Network), Shana Hiatt (NBC), Jamie Little (ESPN), Hazel Mae (NESN), Rachel Nichols (ESPN), Lisa Salters (ESPN), Lindsay Soto (FSN), Sage Steele (ESPN), Krista Voda (SPEED Channel) and Jeanne Zelasko (FOX). It’s presumed Erin Andrews is going to run away with this. Duh. But the biggest problem I find with the poll is that they’ve excluded all the candidates from their first Sexy Sportscaster poll, conducted […]

I Can See You’re Out Of Aces: A “Cane” Recap

November 14, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor Comments Off

Posted by Sarah We open at a dice game. Frank’s losing. Cut to Henry setting up a hotel pool party. Cut to Alex talking to some suit who tells him one of their distributors is a problem. Frank ups the ante. Alex has to crack down on the number of “broken” (read: stolen) bottles. Frank goes all in, loses, and accuses the winner of having rigged dice. He’s politely asked at knifepoint to leave. We see that he’s been playing in a trashy motel — that can’t be good. Not only that, but a tough guy is leaning on his […]

The Amazing Race: I’ve Become The Archie Bunker Of The Home

November 13, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor 1

In the second episode, the racers start off in Galway with brother and sister team Azaria & Hendekea leaving first. And they are off to the Shannon airport to fly to Amsterdam with $59 for this leg of the race. Bex: I have always wondered how the producers have calculated how much money the teams will need for each leg. I hope they have factored in a quick trip to the coffee shops. After all, these lucky stiffs are going to Amsterdam! The race is already starting to take its toll as Shana (or was it Jennifer?) points out “The […]

“Chuck” Recap: Chuck Versus The Truth

November 13, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor 2

Spoiler Alert: Rachel Bilson is adorable. I will forever refer to her as my future ex-wife. Wow. I have to warn you. This blog writer is under the same truth serum influence as the characters from last night’s Chuck episode. I can’t be held responsible for anything in the bold font. It’s the serum talking and I have no control. With just over a half-dozen episodes under its belt, Chuck has finally begun to shed its new employee status and the writers appear comfortable at their place of employment. Sure, week after week they tend to throw spy cliches our […]

“How I Met Your Mother” Recap: Spoiler Alert

November 13, 2007 Channel Guide Staff 6

Ted Mosby is a decent-looking guy, right? He’s got an above-average personality, too, judging from the fact that we’ve all been willing to spend a half-hour a week with him for the past two-plus TV seasons. But is anybody else beginning to question his dating record? Granted, his dating stories are being told a couple of decades in the future and have unfolded over the course of a few years — but by sheer volume, they’re pretty impressive. Almost too impressive. I mean, how many women can one guy date? Particularly a guy who grows up to be Bob Saget? […]

“Scrubs”: My Inconvenient Truth

November 12, 2007 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

J.D. became a father in last week’s show, but you’d never know it through most of this week’s episode. That’s kind of the point, I guess, as the through-line ends up being, “J.D., you need to grow up.” This initially comes from the unlikeliest of sources — J.D.’s ne’er-do-well older brother, Dan, played as always by Tom Cavanaugh. Man, these guys really look like brothers. It should be required in any project that if one of them has a sibling (male or female), the other gets a call. Uncanny! Despite an immature, hilarious introduction — in which Dan poses as […]

“My Name Is Earl”: Randy In Charge (…Of Our Days And Our Nights)

November 12, 2007 Ryan Berenz Comments Off

Better late than never with the Earl recap, I guess. With this week’s lackluster episode, maybe never was the better idea. “Randy In Charge (…Of Our Days And Our Nights)” finds Earl called to the warden’s office to assist him with the Scared Straight program. Earl will get five weeks knocked off his sentence if he organizes a group of prisoners to attend a school and scare kids. Randy, as we know, is not the best prison guard, and Earl is constantly bailing Randy out of trouble. Earl decides that Randy should be the guard for their Scared Straight visit, […]

It Was All A Virtual Reality Simulation? A "Family Guy" Recap

November 12, 2007 Channel Guide Contributor Comments Off

Posted by Sarah At the courthouse, Peter tells Lois he wants to hear all about her non-death … not that night, because he has plans, but definitely the next night. We see a replay of Lois falling over the back of the ship after Stewie shoots her. Luckily, a passing merman took her to shore and treated her, then asked permission to make love to her. Problem was, he had the head and torso of a fish, and the legs of a man. Lois refused to sleep with him, he got angry (“I think you kind of owe me”) and […]

"The Office" Recap: Survivorman

November 9, 2007 Channel Guide Staff 2

Posted by Mike, Ryan and johnnysweeptheleg As “Survivorman” begins, the talk around the office centers around the events of the previous weekend. It seems Ryan invited a bunch of the branch managers and Toby to a wilderness retreat, as sort of a get-to-know-you weekend, and Michael was not invited because, as Pam theorizes, “Apparently they already knew everything they needed to know about him.” Everyone seems to be relishing the fact that Michael wasn’t included — except for Michael, of course. Inspired by Les Stroud — “a guy who would go out into the middle of nowhere and just try […]

Survivor: China: Week 8 Recap: Farewell, Susan Lucci

November 9, 2007 Jill Klitz 1

I think the overall theme of this episode is meant to be “Jean-Robert is stupid,” but some other stuff happens, too. When captains pick teams of four for the reward challenge, the picking follows Zhan Hu/Fei Long lines, except Denise is the odd woman out, making her feel like the big, fat kid that no one wants on their team in gym class. I know, someone had to be left out, but it wasn’t a very smart move for the other members of Fei Long to send Denise the message that she’s toward the bottom of the totem pole. The […]
