Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 3/6/10)

The Amazing Race. Go cowboys! They are just owning this race. Pretty smart guys. Also, they always make sure to have gays and/or lesbians on the show, and that’s fine, but I don’t think they’re doing the gay community a big service, considering that all the gays they’ve had on the show have turned out […]

Undercover Boss. I am totally in love with this show. And the CEO of 7-11. And his employees. Especially Igor. Every time Igor spoke, I cried. He kept going on and on about how wonderful America is, how it’s the best country in the world. I break down any time I hear foreigners who have […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 2/20/10)

The Amazing Race. Don’t worry, kids! There are plenty of gays on TAR this season, so you don’t have to worry that the ever-predictable streak will end. Ok, at first I was rooting for the cowboys, and then they traded in their American money for Brazilian money when they were going to Chile. Still impressed […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 2/6/10)

24. Renee’s definitely gonna replace Jack as the show’s main badass. You heard it here first. Or tenth. I don’t know.
American Idol Denver auditions. So apparently there’s a theme this year: black female country singers. I’ve liked both of them so far. Also, the judges were kinda smoking crack on day 1 of the Denver […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 1/23/10)

Woops, forgot to post this last week.
24. 4 p.m. 5 p.m. 6 p.m. 7 p.m.
American Idol. Chicago auditions. Orlando auditions.
Chuck. Morgan as the Assistant Manager will be awesome. I really enjoyed the bit where Morgan fired Lester. And this: “You’re incredible! Is that your spy training?” “Duck Hunt. Nintendo.” Hey, it’s the Tom Cruise Superman […]

24 Day 8 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. “Say it. Out loud.” “Vampire.”

Previously on 24.
I truly never get tired of Sean Callery’s theme. And here we go.
Hastings updates Rob that he has no update on the Reed sitch. They’re in her laptop, but she says she’s innocent. Rob says the peace process relies on CTU. Everything in the world relies on CTU.
Ortiz asks Danabuck about the […]

24 Day 8 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Just because you put guns in it doesn’t make it less of a purse.

Viewer discretion… is advised.
Previously on 24.
Wow, I missed in the last episode where Jack stuck a fire ax through that one guy’s chest. Certified JackAttack.
Russian guy wants to accelerate the attack, FPJ wants to know where his EMTs are. Also wants to tell Hastings that he should have listened to him about having a […]

24 Day 8 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. “Give me your gun so I can threaten you with it.”

Viewer discretion is advised! Events occur in real time, unless you count the fairy tale traffic 24’s characters always encounter.
So at the beginning, some guy we don’t know is getting ready to snipe at some other guy we don’t know, but he can’t take the shot, and the 2nd unknown goes inside a crackhouse. […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 1/16/10)

Chuck. “Chuck vs. the Pink Slip.” First off, I loved the Honda/Olympics commercial with Morgan, Awesome, and Ellie. Especially Awesome. “Babe. People ski with guns. It’s AWEsome.” And what the hay? Chuck left Sarah & didn’t run away with her? Bad, super bad. Also crazy: Buster’s over-the-top death. And can they say the p-word on […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 1/9/10)

Fiesta Bowl. The first half was boring. The second half–after the successful punt fake, of course–was much more exciting. I was a big ball of nerves. Also, YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY! Go Broncos!
Scrubs. 1st episode. I loved the ending with Cole in the YouTubeish video and #1’s closing line. “I forgive you, internet.”
Better Off Ted, 1st episode. “What […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 12/5/09)

House. I love Wilson at the end.
Glee. WOW. I was not expecting Bill to find out so early about his wife’s treachery.
The Middle. Was really funny.
The Amazing Race. Man, I felt bad for the Globetrotters. And I want Sam & Dan to go DOWN. Not just because of the treachery against the Globetrotters, […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 11/27/09)

The Amazing Race. I didn’t think I’d be happy to have Brian & Ericka saved at the pit stop, but what do you know? I was. Don’t tell anyone. Also, I’m so over Sam & Dan. All Dan does is whine like a girl (he’s worse than Ericka), and the taxi stealing was resourceful but […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 11/20/09)

Wow, so this is way late, but I’ve been all busy tweeting and stuff. You understand.
The Amazing Race. Well, I’m sad to see Gary & Matt go home, but I love Meghan & Cheyne, so I’m glad they’re consistently at the top. I think they’re going to win.
Big Bang Theory. “When was the first day […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 11/14/09)

Ok, this is late, but it’s New Moon week, so I have other things on my mind.
The Amazing Race. See here.
House. I’m glad Chase finally told Cameron. But Cuddy + the PI? Boo.
Big Bang Theory. “Sorry doesn’t make up for the fact that I had to make chicken and rice with this vegan guy. […]

Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 11/7/09)

The Amazing Race. See here.
Dancing With the Stars. See here.
The Big Bang Theory. This slayed me (watch here):
HOWARD: Sheldon knows football?
LEONARD: Apparently.
HOWARD: I mean, Quidditch, sure, but football?
LEONARD: Sheldon, how do you know this stuff?
SHELDON: I grew up in Texas. Football is ubiquitous in Texas. Pro football, college football, high school football, pee wee football. […]
