By Nite Writer P Funk We all agree that The Biggest Loser is a show about inspiring change and eliminating obesity, right? So why, I ask, does NBC air a lengthy season finale where home viewers will sit on their asses for 2 hours? MONEY, my friend, money! C’mon, do you really think that NBC [...]

By Jackie My feelings on Deal or No Deal are the same feelings I have about looking at the infamous Britney Spear’s crotch shots that are all over the web right now: You feel sick inside from looking at something so awful, yet you keep on watching over and over because at the end of [...]

By Zoobabe This episode concludes the first arc of the mini-mystery season and we start at the Pi Sig house. We see Piz and Mac looking for V and then cut to her running like a bat out of hell looking for some help in the dorm and slumping down on the floor to see a [...]

By Loula Previously: Dick is a dick. Professor Landry is cuckolding the Dean. Logan alibis Mercer for one of the rapes but doesn’t run into burning buildings often enough for Veronica’s taste. And in a scene pulled straight from my worst nightmares, Logan and his shiny-eyed sad puppy face actually watch Veronica avoiding his calls. [...]

By Gina Welcome back to Jericho. Population: You! And a dozen others who are dumber than a box of hair. The Previously On Jericho scenes inform us that NUCLEAR BOMBS HAVE DESTROYED HALF THE COUNTRY! Um, haven’t we picked up on that by now? I mean, no one is tuning in to Jericho expecting to [...]

By Cristina Ok so since we are a couple of weeks behind I figured I should first give a quick recap of what happened on the last episodes, since it was all, you know, “important stuff.” Previously on Jericho: the city celebrates Halloween almost as though nothing has happened. It appears that although their food [...]

By Nikkibot Last week’s episode focused on the masses and the need for widely appealing comfort food at TGIF Restaurants — deep fried something with an annoyingly cutesy name. The challenge saw the ouster of ultra salty, kiddie-hating, nearly translucent Emily. Tears were shed for the sunshine of the bunch, leaving the rest of the [...]

By Flipit Sometimes I can’t figure out if “Top Chef” is brilliant or retarded. It’s like the prettiest person in high school. You want to think they’re also the smartest and most talented, but their big boobs and charisma blind you to whatever the truth may be.  There were some interesting decisions made at the [...]

By Kelly This episode, “After Hours,” opens the same way every episode of “Ugly Betty” opens – with a shot of Betty looking really ugly. OK, Show, I get it. It’s not as if, without the ugly shot to remind me, I’d be sitting there on the couch thinking “Wait! But I thought her name [...]

By Nicole “Why are you dripping on my bagel?” Daniel Meade, editor extraordinaire if not just a lucky dude born into his job, asks a half wet Betty. Good thing her clothes most likely aren’t dry clean only. Before I answer the plaguing question of why, in fact, Betty is dripping on his bagel, I’d [...]

By The Qwertz Another Thursday with the Pomp means it’s time to open up another bottle of cab sav, kick back, and enjoy the pleasures of Grey’s Anatomy. This week, with m_ruv vacationing on the Amalfi Coast, I am left to switch hit–I’m more the Yang to his steel faced Meredith. So lets dive in–though [...]

Big Brother may be over, but to ease the pain of having to wait another nine months before the start of the eighth season, TVgasm will be taking some time this week to ease your separation anxiety. Yesterday, we featured some exclusive footage from the Big Brother All Stars wrap party (tonight’s clipgasm will feature [...]

By Amanda I am happy to report that a bunch of people got killed this week on Passions. If you would like to mourn their passing along with me, you will have to read the recap to find out who bit it. But this week’s episodes weren’t all violence and pain – there was also [...]

By Umnata Oooh Boy! Am I glad that I jumped on the Rescue Me bandwagon! I haven’t been so excited about picking up a show in its third season since someone all but forced me to start watching America’s Next Top Model… uhh… I mean Sportscenter. Tonight’s show had everything you could want in a [...]

By Amanda This week most of the Passions characters attended one of Rome’s ever-popular masked balls. Well, actually, it was an art-gallery opening. But for some reason, it was also a masked ball; therefore, all kinds of sinister lurking ensued. Back in Harmony, Sheridan pulled the rubber mask off of the coma patient, and Kay [...]

By Umnata So Everwood is cancelled. Over. Done. Why can’t I get over it? I’ve loved and lost shows before (Angel? Arrested Development? Sadly, the list goes on and on… and on), so why does this one feel so Paris Hilton’s Music Video Bad? Things were looking bad from the start when The WB decided [...]

By Amanda Wow – plenty of action this week on Passions. EvilMonk’s identity is revealed, and the mermaid is exposed! On top of that, there are virtual-reality goggles; a coma patient being jabbed with a huge needle; another punching fight; more drinking; more fake nuns; and lots of people talking to themselves, both inside and [...]

By The Qwertz As the days passed and the depression set in that I’d have no further episodes of Blowout to see, I figured I’d treat myself to a bit of reality show “realism.” A confluence of events came about: the holiday weekend approached, my hair was very long, I hadn’t produced a final recap [...]

By Umnata Let’s start at the beginning. The very beginning, as this is the first episode I’ve ever watched of Rescue Me. That in of itself is a shock because I’m a huge Denis Leary fan. The Ref may very well be the best Christmas movie of all time, and in Judgment Night he lives [...]

With a look at NBC’s schedule, my coverage of the 2006-2007 upfronts (the annual presentation of network’s new schedules to media outlets and advertisers) comes to a close. NBC is in the worst shape of the 5 major networks. It’s coming off yet another disastrous year and they’ve been facing this downward trend ever since [...]

By Umnata My coverage of the “upfronts” in New York—the television networks’ annual presentation of their fall schedules to foaming-at-the-mouth advertisers and media outlets—continues with a look at ABC’s fall schedule. In probably the biggest shakeup of the season, ABC has made plans to move Sunday night juggernaut Grey’s Anatomy (which has now surpassed Desperate [...]

By Amanda This week, Passions once again finds almost all of our characters in Rome. Well, the fake soundstage Rome, anyway. There’s a carriage ride with no horse; a pair of red fur-lined handcuffs; and a fight scene in a hip club. There’s plenty of stalking by plenty of psychos; some intrigue surrounding the mysterious [...]

By Umnata As I continue my coverage from way beyond the sidelines, I take on the CBS schedule, which was revealed last week at the annual “upfronts”, the first presentation of the networks fall schedules to advertisers. Here’s what CBS has got going on in 2006-2007. As much TV as I watch, and umm, it’s [...]

By Umnata Last week, the networks revealed and previewed their fall schedules in what’s called “the upfronts.” Here is a look at Fox’s slate. Fox is really going with an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” attitude for its upcoming season. The new dramas they greenlit are primarily dramas that will fit in quite [...]

By Umnata Last week in New York City, Madison Avenue was overcome with swag-aholic advertisers to whom the networks unveiled their fall schedules, otherwise known as the “upfronts.” It’s during this week that we find out which of our favorite shows are getting renewed (yay! Veronca Mars and The Loop), which ones are getting the [...]

By Umnata Because of my extreme dedication to TVgasm and American Idol, I downloaded the entire American Idol – Season 5 – The Encores CD off iTunes, to let you know what is good, bad & ugly. What’s that? No, B-side didn’t ask me to do this! No, it’s not part of what I normally [...]

By Umnata (formerly Eddie) Uneven. Over the top. Plastic Face. These are just some of the adjectives that have been used to describe what has been going on at Wisteria Lane this season on Desperate Housewives. Over the course of its second season, Desperate Housewives hit its sophomore slump harder than Paris Hilton gets pumped [...]

By Amanda Welcome to my first Passions recap! I could not be more excited. I have been unofficially recapping soaps at least since the eighth grade when I got in trouble in math class for passing my friend a note containing a recap of Adrienne and Emilio “making love” in the Kiriakis stable on Days [...]

By Eddie When I got the e-mail from B-Side telling me that I’d be writing the recap for Desperate Housewives, I was totally stoked, of course, but the downside hit me faster than a Botox injection into Marcia Cross’ forehead. The downside was, of course, that I’d have to watch Desperate Housewives. Don’t get me [...]

Earlier today, TVgasm reader GiadaFan wrote to us saying that he’d be going to a book signing by the one and only Giada De Laurentiis. He offered to take pictures of the event and relay any noteworthy stories. Needless to say, GiadaFan went above and beyond the call of duty. Enjoy this photo recap of [...]

By The Qwertz Well if you watched last week’s episode of Blowout, you knew what would be next. Jonathan only continually browbeating the Baccardi execs and the viewer over his tight schedule since he would have to be in Hawaii, bro, after banging out some rockin’ hair, bro. I’m masc, bro. So this week we [...]

By The Qwertz Hello, my dear readers. First, I must apologize for having missed the recap of last week’s episode. The world of corporate law has wrought pain on my ass, and combined with traveling coast to coast (like our goldenboy Jason), it has left me unable to even WATCH television, let alone recap. In [...]

By The Qwertz Well its that time again for Jonathan to hit New York, climb up the Empire State Building with a woman in his grip and not come down until Jonathan Product canvasses the country from coast to coast. Yes, it is the Olympus Fashion Week episode where Jonathan promises to be more self-important [...]

By The Qwertz The sun is out, the clocks have sprung ahead — it’s time to settle in and enjoy the comforts of the changing seasons. Of course if you are like me and reading this from the inside of your office as you stare out your window cursing those enjoying the weather, well we [...]
