Seeking understanding and tolerance
It is said that a thoroughbred is born and then spends the remainder of its life attempting suicide. This is not far from the truth. A highly strung nature and an inborn desire to run fast on fragile legs is often a volatile combination. A horse is not only born to run, it is born running.More » -
ABC’s Gay Wednesdays
If you tuned in to ABC’s 9-10 p.m. EST comedy lineup last night, you saw a story about pumpkin hurling (“Modern Family”), followed by one about scavenger hunting (“Happy Endings”). You saw something else, too: a tandem example of how much things have changed when it comes to network television’s incorporation of gay characters.. -
The Making Of “Homer At The Bat,” The Episode That Conquered Prime Time 20 Years Ago Tonight
On Feb. 20, 1992, more American homes tuned into The Simpsons than they did The Cosby Show or the Winter Olympics from Albertville, France. A foul-mouthed cartoon on a fourth-place network bested the Huxtables and the world's best amateur athletes. Fox over NBC and CBS—its first-ever victory in prime time. New over old.More » -
Colbert Report Mystery Shutdown: Production Suspended Due to “Unforeseen Circumstances”
We can't handle the truthiness? Well, whether we can or not, we're not getting it. Just hours before last night's taping of The Colbert Report, production was abruptly canceled not just for that episode, but for the remainder of the week . -
A Nerd’s Guide To What Jeff Probst Won’t Tell You: How To Win ‘Survivor’
Tonight, Survivor — which premiered in the summer of 2000, to concerns about Lord Of The Flies behavior and the highly publicized but ultimately ho-hum eating of rats — begins its 24th season. For its fans, rattling off winners and runners-up is a bit like being able to name all the elements of the periodic table (without singing): a sort of mastery that will never, ever be needed, making the decision to acquire it (or the inability to avoid acquiring it) all the more impressive.. -
Happy Endings: Valentine’s Day to the Max
If there’s one thing going against Happy Endings right now — much like any show that features an ensemble of funny, clever, urban twenty/thirty-somethings — is that it will inevitably be compared to Friends or Seinfeld. But that curse also just happens to be Happy Endings’ blessing because this particular comedy takes the best elements of those iconic shows, Friends‘ goofiness and sensitivity and Seinfeld‘s sharpness and cynicism and adds its own self-aware sense of humor. Not to mention some refreshingly modern characters.More » -
The Top 10 Moments of David Letterman’s First 30 Years
David Letterman has spent 43 years expanding his audience. Early on it was Hoosiers in need of a weather report, early Sunday morning 4-H project enthusiasts, kiddies catching the 1968 “Freeze-Dried Movies,” Indi 500 junkies. But tomorrow will mark 30 years of Letterman using his sardonic comedic enthusiasm on late-night national TV. It’s enough to make even NBC question Jay Leno’s credentials.More » -
Diary of a Nebbishy Comic: ‘My Seinfeld Year’
Fred Stoller's neurotic Brooklynite whine makes Woody Allen seem like an amateur, and Mr. Stoller, 52, has worked his gift into a career, first as a deadpan stand-up comic and then as a nebbishy actor in countless short-lived sitcom roles: Elaine's annoying date in an episode of "Seinfeld," a mopey cousin on "Everybody Loves Raymond," a jerky waiter on "Friends.". -

Priceline sends Shatner’s Negotiator over a cliff
William Shatner's stalwart Capt. James T. Kirk died in the line of duty. Now the actor's bargain-touting Priceline Negotiator is headed heroically to his final frontier. In a new 30-second TV spot set to begin airing Monday, the Negotiator rescues panicked vacationers from a bus teetering on a bridge's railing. "Save yourselves -- some money," he says, handing his cellphone to a passenger as he and the bus tumble into a dry creek bed. A violent explosion, real and computer-generated, follows. "I'm in grief mode," a droll Shatner said by phone Wednesday. "It's not the first time I've had an iconic character die off."More » -

Project Runway All Stars: A Night at the Opera
A drama-free episode (mostly) full of interesting, discussable garments at the end, with one or two really stunning ones. Darlings, how in the hell do we recap THAT? We’re so out of practice! For the last several seasons, it’s been all about drama, characters, and dead family members! A Project Runway with the focus on the clothes? Pfft. It’ll never work!. -

Saturday Night Live Takes On College Coach Molestation Scandals
Last night’s Saturday Night Live was pretty solid. There wasn’t anything groundbreaking, but one sketch was relevant to the world of sports. SNL writers took full advantage of the fact that Steve Buscemi looks like a guy who might touch a kid in their Penn State/Syracuse scandal parody. Not that the attorney in this sketch would have pressed charges anyway.More » -
Survivor surprisingly loses its greatest source of entertainment
Last week’s episode of Survivor South Pacific was the recap episode, and despite its unintentional sexuality, it was the usual boring slog through familiar footage. Sadly, that’s what most of tonight’s episode felt like—at least until the quasi-explosive Tribal Council with a quasi-surprising conclusion.
We lost John “please call me Cochran” Cochran to Redemption Island, which is too bad if only because he’s given us great television, and not just through his decision to switch alliances or via censored votes for him. Even when he’s doing nothing, he’s entertaining; last night, he sat at camp, a fly buzzing around his head, his face twitching like a horse to shoo it away.
Also this week, there was his confession that, when he was younger, he prank called a girl and told her “I really want to trade sperm with you,” and his subsequent confession that his only experience with massage was giving them to his mother. We got to watch as he was “on the receiving end for once” and told us, “having a beautiful woman stroke the insides of my legs is a new experience.” Watching that and suppressing the dry heaves is a new experience for most of us, too.More » -
I Was Kim’s Reality Show Pawn
Sources very close to Kris Humphries tell TMZ ... Kris is gunning for an annulment based on fraud because he feels "he was just slotted in the plot line of Kim Kardashian's latest headline and newest business venture."
We're told Kris believes Kim never intended to stay married to him, but needed a groom to fuel ratings for her show. One source says, "Once they were finished taping, she just didn't need a groom anymore."
Kris is telling people he feels like a pawn in the game. More »
