‘Last Comic Standing’ Goes Out with an Olympic-Sized Bang

August 8, 2008 | Link This | Email this | Comments (0)

The fifth season finale of Last Comic Standing was an hour and a half of fluff, but enjoyable fluff. The producers went for an Olympics coverage homage/parody, with a liberal dash of last century’s variety shows mixed in. Mix well, add a pinch of stand-up from the last two finalists, a dash of presidential candidate humor, and we’ve got ourselves a nice little evening, boys and girls.

 

A rabid sports fan friend of mine is vehement in his dismissal of feel-good athletic stories, and usually I tend to agree with him--just tell me how the game ended up, I don’t care about the quarterback’s mom’s childhood best friend. But in the ca...Read More

'Farmer Wants a Wife': Vintage in a Bad Way

June 26, 2008 | Link This | Email this | Comments (2)

The CW aired the season finale of Farmer Wants a Wife last night, and I still haven’t figured it out.

 

I’ve caught a couple of episodes over the last month or so, and each one had moments that made the feminist in me cringe, but then reeled it back in and provided a situational explanation.

‘Miss Guided’: Judy Greer Makes Playing a Quirky Doll Look Good

March 21, 2008 | Link This | Email this | Comments (0)

Miss Guided ran two episodes in what will be its regular timeslot on ABC last night, at 8 and 8:30, after debuting Tuesday after Dancing With The Stars. I didn’t immediately warm up to the show Tuesday, but it had pulled me in before the end of its half hour and I was looking forward to last night’s episodes. 

And here I am now, bright-eyed and scrubbed behind the ears, glad to report that the new show did not disappoint.

‘Knight Rider’: More Hits than Misses

February 19, 2008 | Link This | Email this | Comments (1)

There was a lot to get excited about during Knight Rider on NBC–the car was so very cool, the action scenes were suitably tense and things, you know, blew up, and the legacy of the original show was nicely tied up by the end of the two-hour movie.

 

The retro-kitsch factor was high. As a late twenty-something, I think this is the first remake of a series I can remember actually...Read More
