This is it. The penultimate episode of The Sopranos for the season. Well, until the “second half” of the season, but since this is HBO and The Sopranos, that means we will be waiting another year at the least. So let’s just savor what we got while we got it. Remember last week my bitching [...]

Are you like me? Are you sitting at work in a cold sweat counting down the minutes until tonight’s big two hour Lost finale? Does your boss look puzzled when you poke your head out of your cubicle and scream “WAAAALLLLTT!”? Are your coworkers upset that you haven’t shaved or showered for a week because [...]

So here we are. The final Lost episode until the big two hour season finale this Wednesday. The question now becomes, how much of this episode will be just a setup to the finale, and how much of it will be new advances in the plot? Well the answer is a little of both, really. [...]

Only a few episodes left to the Sopranos season and the whacking tally is abysmally low. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been a good season, with sharp, funny writing all along. But when the only real mob hit you can sink your teeth into is Frankie Valli, it leaves a void. Sure we all loved [...]

Yes, yes, I know. This recap is late. Well I can just rattle of the usual excuses, (real life, new job, writers block, it takes three full days to spellcheck my work, etc.) but wouldn’t you rather just get to the recap? Well last week’s Sopranos focused a lot on my favorite character. Good old [...]

Is Libby dead? Why did Michael shoot her and Ana Lucia? Was Henry Gale behind it all? These and other questions have been keeping me up at night for over a week. I tried booze. I tried pills. I tried nameless sex with a variety of loose women. None of it helped ease my pain. [...]

That’s right, the legendary TVgasm forums are back. Now a place where people can go to waste even more time under the TVgasm banner. Your boss being a jerk? We wanna hear about it! You can quote every single line to the film Xanadu? Now there’s a place to show off your talents! Want to [...]

Where do I begin? After another long Lost hiatus filled with repeats and filler “recap” episodes, we finally get to a new episode this week. I was hoping that since it’s now May sweeps we would get an action-packed episode where a lot happens, instead of another slow-moving Hurley relationship episode. Well, at first my [...]

As I sat down Sunday to watch the Sopranos I had to wonder what would be on store for me. Will we go back to the gay Vito storyline or perhaps get a chance to see even more aging starts getting physically assaulted? I personally had my fingers crossed for a little of both. A [...]

As far as this weeks Sopranos goes I have good news and bad news. The bad news is the Vito storyline that everyone has gotten so wrapped up in this season is nowhere to be found. In fact Vito doesn’t even make an appearance. Instead the main focus of the episode is that lifelong loser [...]

Well its been quite a trying time for Tony Soprano lately. He’s been shot, forced into a really odd overlong dream sequence with Buddhists and Steve Buscemi, and had to have a giant hole in his stomach. But in the last few episodes of The Sopranos he’s starting to get back to his old self [...]

One of the things House has going for it is a fantastic array of guest stars. We’ve had people like Dr. Johnny Fever and the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket. Heck they’ve even had LL Cool J. It’s like the Love Boat in a hospital and Captain Stubing is a giant prick with a [...]

So what to do when you have to follow up what has to be one of the best Lost episodes of the season? Well if you’re ABC, the answer is simple—hit the brakes. Bigtime. After last week’s jaw-dropping ending where Sayid totally punks “Henry Gale,” proving that he is the Other we all knew he [...]

I love how House always tackles controversial issues. It’s like the very special episode of Diff’rent Strokes with Nancy Reagan only EVERY week! And who wouldn’t want that? Well this week it doesn’t so much tackle a controversial issue as graze by it briefly. The issue I am talking about is of course rape. Not [...]

The lovely and talented Kat has taken a brief sabbatical for the next few weeks so she has graciously passed her duties of Lost recapping onto me. I of course am thrilled because I was getting sick of having her episodes be the ones where all the good stuff happens and then I get stuck [...]

Welcome to TVgasm’s weekly chronicling of the descent of Desperate Housewives into mediocrity. This episode marks a new chapter in the shows steady decline in quality. Gone are the only interesting things about the show, its dark edge and ominous undercurrents are now replaced with out and out buffoonery. I know I’m kind of harsh [...]

If you’re morbidly obese like me and sg-dub, you’re always on the lookout for new ways to drop some excess pounds. For years I have wished that I could be able to do something other than blogging, playing video games and peeing in a jar. Now, thanks to the wonders of reality TV, I can. [...]

We thought it would never come. But here it is. A new Lost episode. It’s getting to the point where I am actually having to go back and reread old recaps just to remember what happened last because they keep throwing those freaking repeats at us. 12 hours a week of American Idol, no problem. [...]

So When CopyGodd let me know he was going on vacation he had to decide who was going to take over this weeks writing duties for 8th and Ocean. And what better choice than TVGasms resident model stalker EdHill? Now sure, J-Unit has a thing for Tyra but it’s more of a healthy crush, whereas [...]

I know there is always a certain level of suspension of disbelief in certain kinds of TV shows. For instance 24 is structured in such a way that I am willing to overlook its huge gaping plot holes like how Jack Bauer can strangle a nun with her own entrails in front of the President [...]

Well, I have to admit that was one heck of a Project Runway finale. Really very exciting. About twenty minutes in I figured out why. This show is one of the few where the big prize actually means something. Instead of some silly live boardroom or a wacky gauntlet, the contestants get to show their [...]

Well this is it. This is what we have been waiting for. After months of waiting we are finally at the finale of Project Runway. It’s Fashion Week and our three remaining contestants are there to show off their own collections. Who will be crowned America’s Next Top Model great designer and then fall back [...]

This week’s Project Runway presented me with quite a challenge. How does one recap a recap show? At first I thought I could just recap it by recapping the recap using old recaps, but felt that that might come dangerously close to ripping apart the space time continuum. The last thing any of us needs [...]

After last week’s horrible misfire of an episode where everyone started acting like Susan for an hour, will Desperate Housewives recover this week? Well the answer is… kind of. It was much better than last week’s episode for sure, but that’s like saying that having uncontrollable explosive diarrhea is better than regular uncontrollable diarrhea. Either [...]

It’s been a fun season for Project Runway. From Dirty Diana on the dance floor to Kara avoiding “Daingahâ€? in her dress to Andrae’s endlessly funny gay expressions…so many memories. Now we are finally coming to the end. That’s right, this week was the penultimate episode. The last runway elimination before we get our final [...]

I have to say, after a few lackluster episodes, Lost has regained itself in top form with this week’s episode. No more hour-long character studies about people coping with their inner demons. OK, so this episode was a storyline about someone coping with their inner demons, but this guy’s inner demon was about ripping people’s [...]

So I’m confused. I’ve been recapping Desperate Housewives all season now and I think I’m fairly familiar with how the show goes. It’s essentially a big soap opera that mixes all sorts of elements from comedy to drama with the added benefit of watching Teri Hatcher’s face morph into the Joker (don’t believe me? Look [...]

Well it was a traumatic episode for us all last week on Project Runway. Watching Andrae run offstage was tough for all of us. I mean sure we all laughed because he ran like a 6 year old girl with arms flailing, but still, below the laughter was pain. And it’s not because we will [...]

A special announcement to all New York TVgasm fans. Project Runway‘s runway finale takes place at Olympic Fashion Week tomorrow morning at 9 AM in New York’s Bryant Park. Supposedly all four remaining designers will be presenting their collections, with one being a “decoyâ€? since he or she will have already been eliminated. So if [...]

And then there were six. After Project Runways “dramatic� walk off last week, Zulema the Wicked Witch of the West (or should it be the Oily Witch of the West?) was sent packing with her gigantic funhouse glasses. And this just one week after winning a challenge. I guess it’s true what they say, one [...]

Growing up, one of my favorite shows was Patrick McGoohan’s The Prisoner. It was an allegorical sixties show where a Bond-like secret agent is captured and sent to a resort-like internment camp called the Village. He is given a number and interrogated by his captors about what he knows, all the time not knowing who [...]

Up until now Project Runway has been credited with being the most honest reality show out there. Granted, all reality shows have a certain element of playing to the cameras and fake drama. For instance, I don’t think there is one second of the Real World-Road Rules Gauntlet 2 that isn’t faker than any night [...]

I gotta tell you I can’t wait for February to start. Not because I like February, I hate it actually. It’s cold and miserable and there’s nothing going on. It’s basically just a long build up until March, in which St. Paddies day comes and I am complete again. No, the only thing that makes [...]

It’s gonna be a tough recap for me on this week’s Project Runway. I’m still bummed about the tragic loss of Dirty Diana last week. Not only was she mine and sg-dub’s pick from the beginning, but she got booted in the most unfair way imaginable because she was paired with that idiot Marla. So [...]

If there is one theme in Hollywood this week it’s that gay is in. Gay is hip. Gay is cool. This weeks Golden Globes is a perfect example. There were multiple awards going to Brokeback Mountain, Capote, and even our own Desperate Housewives Felicity Huffman won a Golden Globe for playing a transgendered man in [...]

With sg-dubs recent sabbatical in order to finish his 4 volume novel on the history of the Russian monarchy, the task of taking over Project Runway has fallen to me, EdHill. Since this is one of my favorite shows I was eager to accept the challenge. I will, as Tim Gunn says so eloquently, “Make [...]

We’re back, baby. After an interminably long six week hiatus, we finally get a fresh episode of Lost. And since the vivacious and beautiful Kat did the last recap, that means it’s been seven long weeks since any of you have been able to bitch about my grammar in a Lost recap. That all ends [...]

You know, as much as I bitch to friends about the fact that 24 doesn’t start their season until January, they at least make it so you get uninterrupted episodes every week. This way they can avoid the annoying month-long intervals between fresh episodes, which is what we just had to endure with Desperate Housewives. [...]

Get ready America, because you’re lives are about to change. From now on colors will seem brighter and smells will smell sweeter. Why you ask? Because from this point on we have the next great super girl group in our midst. After all the waiting, all the drama, all the Diddy ego trips, we have [...]
