1/6-Treehouse Masters “Canopy Clubhouse”-Discovery -Yeah, you try looking for something to watch during the holiday break and NOT record a show called Treehouse Masters. -Our host is Pete Nelson, “The treehouse man”. Well, I feel in good hands. -So a couple in NY wants a fabulous treehouse and they show Dave where they wanted it,…
This week I might have been confused but I did a Switch Hitter and not a SLIW. I’ve been in a Walter White Christmas induced fugue state, forgive me. I picked Ultimate Survivor Alaska on Nat Geo. I don’t know if there have been ultimate Survivors in Maine, Virginia, or Arizona..I assume not. But I…
Here is a list of my top 13 shows for 2013, some that didn’t quite make the cut, and some of the worst shows of the year. If my list is missing a critically-acclaimed show, chances are that I didn’t watch it (e.g. Top of the Lake). 13. Raising Hope Arguably the most underrated comedy…
Long Island Medium TLC Let’s just say my pick of Long Island Medium as the Switch Hitter topic has been somewhat controversial around the screensnark water cooler (which I think needs a filter change, who is in charge of that?). Some have called foul. The idea of the Switch Hitter segment is to make others…
Ah, reality TV, that niche of the television industry most rife with pedestals and pitfalls. For every Masterchef there’s a Bachelor, for every Amazing Race there’s a Long Island Medium, for every Big Brother 14 there’s a Big Brother 15. Shark Tank, Mark Cuban’s foray into the medium, borrows much of the schlock from the…
Cam Boardwalk Empire, a show that was cool before it even started. Featuring the quirky, always liked Steve Buscemi in the lead, legendary filmmaker Martin Scorcese behind the scenes, and based in one of the most interesting time periods in American history. Prohibition, when alcohol was outlawed and criminals started to organize. With the…
So, those of us who have stuck it out know by now that season 3 crashed and burned. There was the laughably bad back and forth between Mrs. and Dana Brody, which only ended up serving as filler for the first 5 episodes. There was the slightest glimpse of character development for Quinn and F.…
It was my turn to choose this installment of “Some Like It Watched”, so I pulled up a recent Nielsen Ratings list and decided to pick a highly rated show that I had never seen. Castle was #9 on this particular list. I wanted to get some witnesses and figure out what the big deal…
12/04-Chelsea Lately-E! -This is another show that I hate-watch to get celebrity news and gossip. But every once in a while, there’s a comedian on the panel that I like. -Like Matt Braunger! -A study reveals that marraiges that last the longest are ones in which both partners are heavy drinkers. haha, what? -There’s an…
12/12-Jeopardy-ABC -Told you guys. I watch a lot of game shows. I’m a sucker for people winning stuff. I think I could win this shit with a quick buzzer thumb. -TV Bars & Saloons? At least challenge me here, Trebek. Swept that one. -I usually slay at the wordplay categories and quotation ones, too -Thank…
