I was babysitting a sick 3-year-old last night, so I missed all but the last five minutes of the show. (Sorry; I'll try to catch up via DVR at some point in the next couple days, and if there's anything relevant I'll add it in an update.)...

I am enjoying "Project Runway" this season, but last night's episode took a turn toward the bizarre and nonsensical that I still can't figure out. From the strangest exit in the show's history to a challenge that everyone treated like a big...

The theme for the night was Lennon/McCartney songs. So, basically Beatles Week. Again. We had TWO Beatles weeks in Season 7, which is part of the reason I gave up on that season. Not because I don't care for The Beatles - quite the contrary. I'm...

Ryan started the show by saying that the producers told him that there were "shocking results" coming tonight. Ooo, that's interesting. Alas, The Save was still in play, so even if there was a surprise boot, it could all be pointless.
After Ryan...

Since the judges used the save on Mike Lynche last week TWO contestants are getting the cut this week. Could we just dump four or five instead? I would be comfortable jumping straight to Crystal/Lee/Casey/Siobhan, personally. The theme for the...

The Top 9 did a group sing to an Elvis medley. Crystal seemed to be playing along with this bullshit better than she has in the past few weeks. I wonder if she's getting notes from the producers. Casey obviously isn't, or is ignoring them,...

I will confess: I missed almost all of "Idol Gives Back." I was in Syracuse, taking my mom out to dinner for her birthday. (Hi, Mom! Although I know you're not reading this! Because you weren't even aware that I had a blog! You should pay more...

The seventh season of "Project Runway" wrapped last night, and while the final collections were a big improvement over the runway shows of the past two seasons, they still underscored how much energy and sparkle the show has lost since moving...

RuPaul, I love you. I absolutely love your show. But honey, darling, I think you just made a gigantic mistake. With your self-described "controversial" choice for the winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 2, you have ultimately put the validity...

Shania Twain, who already appeared once on the season as a guest judge in the initial auditions, was back to mentor country week. Although really, it was just Shania Twain week, as the idols could only sing her songs. I'm OK with that, since I...

Rather than a group sing, the show went right into a performance by Rascall Flats doing "Unstoppable." The lead singer either had mic issues, or something was off, because he sounded and looked really terrible. He was like a charisma void. It's...
