Raving Roundup 9/23 to 9/29
Anything not long enough for its own post goes here.

Moonlight Series Premier — Pilot (Moon)light
Vampire private investigator. He’s kinda hubba hubba, looks like Mike Modano without the broken nose. I’m in! Garlic, wooden stakes, crucifixes, and holy water are myths — well, not the items themselves, just that they can kill vampires. A flamethrower will do it, decapitation will do it, but not the traditional methods. That’s good, because […]
Let’s talk about our feelings while people get tortured by traitors!
Numb3rs season premiere
We all use numbers every day. In case you forgot, since they haven’t had opening credits for a few seasons now.
We still just don’t buy Colby’s about-face from agent of good to agent of evil communism. That was such a dumb way for the season to end.
Don is obsessively watching Colby’s confession over and […]
Solitary 2.0 — Finale
Tonight is the big night on Fox Reality channel’s original series Solitary 2.0’s season finale. If you have not watched the series, the premise is that nine people are locked in separate rooms that are about 8 feet by 8 feet. The contestants are placed through various means of torture, and are […]
Doctor Who — S3E12 “The Sound of Drums”
“The Sound of Drums” is part 2 of a three part cycle involving the return of the Master. John Simm, well-known for his turn in the BBC series Life On Mars (which I believe has been shown on BBCAmerica), chews up the scenary in a highly amusing, psychotic take on the Master character. […]
Doctor Who — S3E11 “Utopia”
“Utopia” is the first of a three-part story by Russell T. Davies that sees the return of Captain Jack Harkness (fresh out of Torchwood purgatory) and Doctor Who iconic villain the Master–the latter portrayed by both Sir Derek Jacobi and John Simm. I was a bit chagrined when the SciFi channel gave away the unexpected […]
You don’t know me. You just saw my penis.
The Office season four premiere
I can’t really snark this show. It’s as funny as they come and needs no snarkage, especially since the guy at Phyllis’s wedding finally judged Angela The Judger for being promiscuous. The only comedy ever funnier was Arrested Development (stupid monkeys at Fox screwed that one up). And Scrubs is nigh-equal. But after watching the […]
I WANT MY MONEY BACK! THE ONLY REASON I SIGNED UP FOR THIS SEASON IS BECAUSE LANA LANG WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!
Smallville S7 premiere
BTW, spoiler alert on that. And on the rest of this.
The dam is coming down, and the police car holding Lex is submerged. Too bad Clark won’t actually let him die. He’ll get all heroey and save him.
Bizarro and Clark are fighting in the forest next to the dam, and Bizarro doesn’t talk all funny. […]
Make it work, Doogie! — Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, S1E4
Stephanie, a slender, petite, 31 year old pediatrician, is a fashion mess. She looks and dresses like a child. She apparently has no social life, and has dedicated both her working and free time to helping sick children. While this is certainly admirable, it does not make for a balanced life, […]
Bare Butts and BBQ — Survivor, S15E2
I haven’t been much of a Survivor fan as of late, since it seems like more of the same thing every year, but the China angle intrigues me so I will give it another shot at a permanent place on my reality tv rotation.
We start out at the Zhan Hu tribe, where former […]
Tim, take me! - The View today
I watch this inanity so you don’t have to.
Oy. An entire hour of Hot Topics. Thanks for cancelling, Barack. I’ll never vote for you just for that (oh, and for all that wacky stuff that comes out of your mouth).
Whoopi had a muscle spasm that she felt all the way in her hoo-hah. I […]
F/U “Botulism, It’s What’s For Dinner” — Kitchen Nightmares
It looks like the incompetent general manager has brought suit against Gordon Ramsey for having the unmitigated gall for showing the world that he was an incompetent general manager.
TVWEEK
And, and earlier article demonstrating that the show is NOT faked:

We tored it up! - DWTS S5W1 results - SarahK version
I think the girl model, Josie Maran will be the first to go. I also think they need to cut this show down to half an hour. Hour-long results shows beat me down, except on American Idol, because man, can ya get a lot of snark out of those.
If Josie Maran doesn’t go first, […]
Can the show just be about Starbuck? - Bionic Woman - series premier
Hey, it’s Starbuck! And she’s all bloodied with someone else’s blood. Now she’s flying on her own and now she’s been shot. Don’t worry, she’s not a Cylon (or is she?) so she won’t download into another Starbuck (or will she?).
Jamie’s little sister is living with her, and little sister hates big sister.
Jamie is pregnant, […]
Botulism, It’s What’s For Dinner — Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares — S1E2 (American Version)
Another one of my favorite shows is currently playing on Fox. The premise of the show is that world famous chef and restaurateur Gordon Ramsey spends a week at a failing restaurant and tries to get it back on track. Usually this involves simplifying the menu, focusing on fresh food, raising preparation standards, and […]
