Josh Schwartz: manufacturer of perfect men, ruiner of lives

The producer creates men too perfect for reality. Why??!!

Gossip Girl: “The Magnificent Archibalds”

The title says it all: Nate Archibald is back and ready for the requisite Thanksgiving episode. Things are a little different than last year, but happiness must prevail on such a family-friendly holiday, right? Want to know what I’m thankful for? The fact that the omnipresent narrator “Gossip Girl” always takes Thanksgiving off, giving my [...]

The Office: “Business Trip”

Holly’s gone, Pam’s supposed to be coming back and Angela and Andy are getting married at Schrute Farms. It used to be difficult to tell, but there have been enough episodes and enough plot revelations in this season to allow me to say, without reservation, that The Office has changed. But is it [...]

Gossip Girl: “Bonfire of the Vanity”

This week’s episode was surprisingly tame. Don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of dramatic moments, but none of the jaw-dropping, “oh no she didn’t” moments the show’s known for. Almost boring, actually. Surprisingly, it seems the show’s starting to really integrate plot points from the book, but they’re being added in a peculiar sort [...]

How I learned that smart kids can beat people up too

She’s no slayer, but our writer could probably break you.

America’s Next Top Model: The Final Five

SPOILER ALERT
The only thing on the girls’ minds this week was go and see. After all, being a model is all about being bankable so that’s exactly what the models had to prove as they navigated their way through [...]

Gossip Girl: “There Might Be Blood”

Our last recap got a surprising amount of comments. I guess Nate and Jenny really know how to stir up some drama. To clarify, I probably wouldn’t have minded as much if Nate had gotten with nice, not as wanna-be-punkRAWKer Jenny (key word: as). Or if this development made any sense within the context of [...]

SPOILER ALERT
My sincere apologies for not being “on top” with the top model blog. I’ll give you all a recap of last week’s [...]

Learning from 90210, then and now

Most of this year’s freshmen were born in the ’90s. Let’s take one last stab at nostalgia.

Gone Greek: “Hell Week”

Note: Seeing as this was the season finale of Greek, it would only be natural for a blog about Greek to talk about all the spoilers present in said finale. You’ve been warned.
Where to start? Well, this season finale featured a lot of twists. Like, enough twists for a season of Lost. [...]

Gossip Girl: “Pret-a-Poor-J”

This was the worst episode. Ever in life. I mean, I knew it’d be bad because it featured Jenny, whose annoyance-factor has increased exponentially since her first appearance. I honestly believed she was getting back to old-Jenny. You know, the sweet, innocent family girl who’s all smiles. Well I was wrong. Bitch Jenny’s back, and [...]

House: Not-so-lucky Thirteen

The first scene from this week’s episode seemed like it belonged on Showtime with Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) quickly skipping bases to get to the good stuff. Cut to her lesbian partner seizing on the floor and being taken straight to the hospital. As it turned out, that’s exactly how [...]

Gone Greek: “Three’s Company”

Greek flirted with a seldom seen topic in this week’s episode. No, not classes…they still don’t go to those. I’m talking about marijuana, a.k.a. wacky tobacky. Unlike academics, though, Greek’s decision to avoid too much cannabis chat actually makes sense–college drug scenes, or at least what I’ve observed at Northwestern, exist as [...]

Gossip Girl: Chuck in Real Life

The title says it all: a Chuck-centric episode, dreams do come true. I have a somewhat unhealthy love for Chuck Bass. Sure, he was the sketchy creeper for a while, but through the magic of character development he’s become the most lovable thing ever. You just want to give him a big hug and tell [...]

The Office: “Baby Shower”

They’re so great together. And awkward. Photo courtesy of NBC.

The Office is a veteran television program in its fifth season and, for better or for worse, it’s evolved. But has the Scranton gang gone daytime soap opera on us? “Baby Shower”, this season’s third installment, says no. At least, not [...]
