If you’ve been reading TVgasm, you know that we love telling tales of our encounters with all sorts of reality celebrities. While we can tell you what it’s like, we can’t really give you the experience because you sort of have to live in Los Angeles, and other than volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, we [...]

SciFi’s “re-imagining” of Battlestar Galactica has brought us a miniseries and two cable seasons worth humans fleeing robot overlords goodness, and the third season is starts this week. BSG, as it is known in the pluperfect, is a darling among geeks because of the novel ways the producers have used to market the show and [...]

So, with the new year brings new changes, and we recently had to make a change to our commenting system. One of the reasons that TVgasm is great is the way our readers contribute to the discussion, and since we have been in business, we haven’t placed any restrictions on participation. What that means is [...]

We hope everybody had wonderful time last night. My dentist says that my tooth enamel should come back in no time at all, and recaps should come even sooner than that. Now that’s something to look forward to!

It has been nearly a month since season 2 of Laguna Beach departed primetime cable on it’s way to becoming quite the darling DVD boxed set. Speaking of which, you would think that anybody in with half of a brain in that marketing department would give B-side an advanced copy so he can properly deem [...]

What you see above you is pure genius. Reader MH writes that it has become a tradition each year to make gingerbread cookies that look like celebrities. There is not much more that you need to know except MH and friend made a cookie this year in the form of our very own Chenbot. I [...]

Last summer was a pretty good one for reality television. Sure there was The Cut and Who Wants to Be a Hilton (btw, sorry about that sg-dub), not to mention Hit Me Baby One More Time, but we had a number of things that were worth looking forward to. Those falling into the latter category [...]

There are a lot of reasons to love the holidays, and one of them is tradition. One tradition that The OC has given us, the biggest one, at least after the affinity for saying “Hey!” 30 times in the pace of an hour, is Chrismukkah. The tradition of mixed Jewish-Christian families celebrating both holidays has [...]

We here at TVgasm can do a lot of things. Make you laugh, make you cry, make you scream for our late recaps. Can you believe that we can do all of this and still manage to stay humble and self-depricating? (Ha ha, I’m hilarious!). One thing that TVgasm can’t do is keep track of [...]

The buzz surrounding Smallville this year continues to be the mystery surrounding Clark’s latest prophecy. Clark thought that he could be happy living as a human, but found out that doing good things while you’re human means you have to take some precautions. For example, it helps not to get shot and bleed to death [...]

Good news everybody! Smallville was excellent last week, not that it motivated me to get my recap back to you any earlier. See, I am heading back home to the east coast, and so I had to do some Christmas shopping this week. I also promised to fix a friend’s computer, and she had actually [...]

People are probably sick of reading how much we love our readers, but it’s true. I never thought that I would ever author a post dedicated to Gilmore Girls. I have never seen an episode, but I have enough friends that watch to tell me that I should mention Lorelai and Rory. It doesn’t mean [...]

One thing I forgot to mention last week in my recap of The OC, amid all of the college talk, was to mention how we rarely ever get an episode that focuses on Summer. She has her proper recognition at the beginning of each episode, and I think we have passed the point where she [...]

Veronica Mars can never seem to pick the right guy. She falls in love with one guy, but he might be her brother, so things end. Another guy seems nice, but was just using her to help him cover up the fact that he stole his dad’s car plus a cachet of illegal drugs. Things [...]

Finally, the J-Unit has come back to SURVIVOR! Sorry folks, just channeling my inner Rock there. B-side would have really liked to have done this recap, but he will be traveling part of the day, and since there will be a two hour finale on Sunday as well as an Amazing Race two hour finale [...]

When it comes to TVgasm and our readers, we have a bad case of loving you. And now that I think I can happily say that I have won the most painful use of a Robert Palmer quotation in a post for 2005, let’s go on with what this post is really about. You might [...]

Here we are with another season finale of America’s Next Top Model. Once again, we have three beautiful girls, and while there used to be a lot of dram going on in the house, the girls are all so focused on winning that none of that bullshit seemed to matter. Our remaining top model contenders [...]

Count me in as a person who really loves the holiday season. Even for those people that know me, it might seem odd to hear all of that Christmas music pumping out of my little corner of the TVgasm offices and I have to say, Martha Stewart has a pretty good holiday jazz compilation. But [...]

Around America, people are waking up to some glorious news. No, Don Rickles is still alive, so you didn’t win the company death pool. There is better news. Following in the footsteps of ABC, which made Lost and Desperate Housewives available online through the iTunes Music Store, NBC Universal decided to open up some of [...]

It’s sort of pathetic how much I am consumed by thoughts of The OC. For all practical purposes, I shouldn’t even care, and the ratings tell me lots of people would agree with me. There is something that always keeps me coming back, and believe me, it isn’t the possibility of another Mischa Barton nipple [...]

We know that Veronica Mars is smart, fearless, resourceful, and combines all of that into one smoking hot, petite package, but one of the great things about her is that she still has a mean streak. That’s not to say that she goes around and tries to pick fights with people, of course. Veronica is [...]

It’s Final Four time on America’s Next Top Model, and that means we only have two episodes left. Looking back, this has been a great season. While The Amazing Race changed its format and started to decline, and Survivor continued its assault on our sanity by plaguing us with returning cast members, ANTM stuck with [...]

As promised, I used up pretty much every spare moment I had over this weekend taking in the complete first season of Veronica Mars. After watching the first DVD (first four episodes of the season), I have to admit that I wasn’t that crazy about how things started, or at least I wasn’t nearly as [...]

Quite obviously I am very far behind on my posting this year, and yes, once again Smallville gets the shaft. It’s not that I want it to turn out that way, it’s just that I have to watch it at the same time as everybody else, and by the time I get around to recapping, [...]

Ahhhh, America’s Next Top Model. Is there any better hump day respite than seeing a bunch of modeling wannabes compete for a Cover Girl contract and Tyra Banks’ affection? Over the last few episodes, we got rid of perhaps the prettiest girl in the whole competition (Kyle), fake eliminated two girls only to let them [...]

If there is any host on the Food Network that I could “get behind” it would be Rachael Ray. There may be women who are better looking or have better bodies on the Food Network, but Rachel seems to be really low maintenance, and that scores a lot of points in my book. It’s the [...]

I have to say, I am glad that TVgasm has been able to unleash all of this pent up demand for all things Food Network. That being said, I don’t share quite the obsessions about most of the hosts and their show, but I can certainly relate. My Food Network obsession is Iron Chef and [...]

So everybody should be very happy. I received Veronica Mars Season 1 on DVD this past weekend, and I plan on doing a marathon viewing session during the holiday weekend. By this time next week, I’ll be well on my way to making all of the proper references and gaining all of the important insights [...]

If there is anything that kids from any nation can agree upon, it’s that our parents aren’t very cool. Unfortunately, making your parents cool might as well be a full time job, and you can’t really do it alone. Even those of us with two or more siblings could use help. If only there was [...]

This past Friday, while America was still trying to cope with the awesome power of a prime time Mischa Barton nipple slip, there were some people who realized that there were more important things in the world, like making sure that two supermodels could put aside years of hostility towards each other in hopes that [...]

It’s nipple week here at TVgasm, and I only say that because the search engines really seem to like us when we mention things like Mischa Barton, Marissa Cooper, The OC, nipple, boob, slip, oops, etc. in the same sentence. We never imagined what one barely discernable breast could do for our popularity and our [...]

America’s Next Top Model has given us a lot of interesting moments this year. For example, if I had said that Steve-O and Chris Pontius and Jason Acuna would be on a television show with some models and that somebody would have pissed themselves in an adult diaper, who would have thought it would be [...]

If somebody were to tell you that two supermodels were going to settle their differences on nationally syndicated television, wouldn’t you make time to see it? Wouldn’t you drop $19.95 for the pay-per-view? Wouldn’t you bring the Jell-O, mud, or creamed corn if it would make things more exciting? Well, you don’t have to do [...]

Back in October, TVgasm held its first annual costume contest. We thought it would be a good way to give our readers a chance at a little participation and get some free stuff as well. Everybody’s getting dressed up anyway, so why not share with the class and get rewarded for it? Although we didn’t [...]

It’s so cliché to apologize for the tardiness of recaps that it has almost become postmodern. In fact does my referencing the postmodernity of the tardiness make this statement inherently more or less postmodern? No matter, it’s all a bunch of shit that I probably wouldn’t care about it even I was paying somebody to [...]

After putting up my recap for The OC from last week, TVgasm regular Smithie casually asked why I didn’t mention how Marissa’s nipple slipped out of her top on national television in the family hour prime time slot. The answer was easy. I never noticed that Mischa Barton’s nipple popped out on national television in [...]

Things haven’t been going so smoothly for the Veronica Mars family these days. Keith Mars seemed to be coasting to an easy win in the sheriff’s race, but the revelation that his negligence might have contributed to the bus accident tanked his hopes. He had evidence that the there was an explosion just before the [...]

So I was a little dissapponinted with last week’s episode of The OC. I think it was a little bit of a bump in an otherwise great season so far. When you know how an episode is going to end before it begins, it really takes a lot out of it for me. The only [...]

When we last checked in with America’s Next Top Model, the judges said buh-bye to Kyle, who was arguably the best looking woman among those still left in the competition. The judges picked Kyle for elimination over Bre because they though she was too safe, and they didn’t think she was showing improvement. As we [...]
