Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica took a couple of episodes to tie things up from the first season, and so while it has been good, there were a lot of people who said that it could be better, that something was missing. In general, I was not part of the faction that was out to [...]

Veronica Mars is the focus of a long-running joke in the TVgasm offices. No, it’s not that any of us think the show is that bad, it’s just that a lot of people wonder why the hell I am not watching it (these same people wondered the same thing about Tru Calling). I loved Buffy [...]

Don’t worry, all of you rabid Big Brother fans, B-side is hard at work pumping out his recap of last night’s episode. However, I wanted to first take a little stab at something that bothered me during last night’s episode. The results of the food competition were about as much in doubt as a UNLV [...]

When we caught our first glimpses of Big Brother 6, a lot of people were worried. We saw all of the beautiful people and lamented at how boring they would all be. We learned that each of the houseguests would have a partner going into the house and decided that it was the dumbest twist [...]

So, I hope that I succeeded in turning at least a few people on to the new season Battlestar Galactica. When you find your way into a new series that has such a cult following, it is sometimes a little easy to get lost trying to pull together the significance of every character. My suggestion [...]

TVgasm gets a lot of PR e-mails from various sources asking us to plug some show or alert people to casting calls. Normally, we laugh at them because we’d rather not bother our readers with a bunch of useless shit when the only thing really exciting about most of these e-mails is the number of [...]

Ahh, yes. It is that time of year again. Now that the Big Brother houseguests are stuck inside, the rest of the world takes the time to look into their backgrounds for the skeletons of their past and judge them while said individual is still inside the house and unable to defend themselves. Is it [...]

When Kaysar won Head of Household this past Thursday, we here at the TVgasm offices found ourselves presented with almost the perfect scenario for this stage of the game of Big Brother. The house was one large conglomerate of an alliance whose only bond was the persecution of the outcasts. Those outcasts included Kaysar, for [...]

Once again, sorry for the tardiness in my update for The 4400. When we last left our favorite basic cable sci-fi series (or second favorite now that BSG is back in our good graces), Jordan Collier had just been assassinated. Although we aren’t sure that Kyle “More Blackouts than Tom Sizemore” Baldwin was the shooter, [...]

Click on the picture of Julie above for a digitally enhanced version of her happy place. Last night for the second live eviction on Big Brother 6, Julie Chen amazed us in one of her glamorous dresses. While we haven’t seen the camel toe make an appearance yet, last night Julie left even less to [...]

Last week when I suggested that people should watch Battlestar Galactica, I was a little scared that lots of people would watch, but then the season premiere would be sucky, and people would take my recommendations on television programming like I take music recommendations from my parents, ie not often and with lots of reservation. [...]

Some people believe that this season of Big Brother is not as stellar as seasons past. On the surface, I would have to agree. Up until this point, there really hasn’t been all that much in terms of conflict. But come on, having to follow the first few weeks of Scott and Jase is a [...]

If you’re wondering what the hell the title of this post is talking about, you should tune in to catch the second season of Battlestar Galactica tonight on SciFi at 10PM Eastern. Battlestar Galactica is not really all about robot sex, although that does happen from time to time — although one guy is apparently [...]

I simply LOVE Thursday nights during Big Brother season. It has only been a week, which means that we still have a lot of time to go with our “Summer of Secrets” (every time I write that down, I have to say “secrets” in this whisper-like voice. I don’t know why, but I enjoy it. [...]

Although one could argue that the entire existence of The 4400 is for the purpose of throwing out a whole lot of questions that aren’t necessarily going to be answered, the second season has come up with two big question marks in particular. Yes, there is the ongoing saga of Jordan Collier and just what [...]

If you don’t watch Food Network, you may be unaware of the series Iron Chef America. Iron Chef America is an American take on a Japanese show called, you guessed it, Iron Chef. In Iron Chef, two master chefs “battle” to make five or more dishes using a secret ingredient. They are then judged on [...]

So, a lot of people have been writing me about the TVgasm Forums and there were two main complaints. The first complaint is that there is no easy way to upload images. I actually turned that feature off because I wasn’t sure how much disk space I wanted to dedicate to uploads. Now that we [...]

B-Side, Kat, and J-Unit I have been really lazy about this, but I wanted to take a little time to recognize two of TVgasm’s latest heavy hitters, sg-dub and Kat. Sg-dub has been doing a great job covering Project Greenlight as well as The Cut and I Want to Be a Hilton. Kat has begun [...]

Tonight marked the final episode of ABC’s summer hit, Dancing With the Stars. If you had told me that I would have spent the summer reviewing a show on ballroom dancing, I probably would have laughed at you and said something like “I would rather smoke the stems and seeds than watch any ballroom dancing [...]

NBC hasn’t blown anybody away with I Want to Be a Hilton, but the show has been making strides since its first week, when it looked like Kathy Hilton had barely been in front of a television camera. Although the challenges were good, it seemed like Kathy had taken pointers from Paris when it came [...]

Here at TVgasm, we really like to give our readers a chance to win free stuff. During most of the reality shows that require some kind of elimination, we like to give people the opportunity to win something from the TVgasm store, just by picking out who is going to last the longest. And with [...]

After the very, very crappy Battle of the Sexes 2, Bunim/Murray redeemed themselves with the much-improved, dare I say genius, Inferno II. Now that the season is over and the Goody Guys have won, it is time for the traditional reunion show where everybody had to fulfill their contractual obligations a chance to have their [...]

So, the first season of Hit Me Baby One More Time is now in the history books. NBC had a surprise hit on their hands and tried to milk two more episodes out of the piles of has-been musicians that line the streets of Los Angeles. Unfortunately, these last two weeks were not very stellar. [...]

I would have to say that as we wind down this season of Dancing With The Stars, it has been a pretty good time for television this summer. In 2003 we all had The OC to fall in love with, but last year we really didn’t have that much, unless you count North Shore. Thankfully, [...]

So far, the second season of the 4400 has not been a disappointment. I was never a particularly huge fan of the X-Files, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the “government agent plus partner explore a different phenomenon each week.” Perhaps it makes a difference because we are already told why everybody [...]

When NBC came out with The Apprentice, it set the standard for reality shows in its genre. Many have come and tried to emulate that theme, whether it be the awful low-budget My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss to the slightly less awful high-budget The Cut, and many places in between including The Benefactor and The [...]

Well, Hit Me Baby One More Time is no longer worth putting too much effort into recapping. The names are too obscure and the performances are too boring. But some people may like to know what happened, so we’ll recap it, photo essay style.

OK, so I have to apologize for not bringing you any news from Dancing with the Stars for the last week, but I was so crestfallen after watching Evander Holyfield get eliminated, I lost faith in humanity. The former heavyweight champion of the world did the jive in an orange shirt and black pants with [...]

Going into the final episode of Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Inferno 2, I didn’t know if I was actually ready to deal with the results. What would I do if the Bad Asses managed to win? I have always been annoyed by Veronica, could never stand Rachel, and Tina’s voice grated my eardrums the first [...]

The novelty of Hit Me Baby One More Time hasn’t exactly been lost for me, but let’s just say that I am glad there are only a couple of more episodes left. Originally, the show was supposed to end with the third episode, but with ratings success that NBC hasn’t seen since Joey, they decided [...]

I would guess that most people who come to read TVgasm love their reality TV, and obviously I am no exception. The summer months used to be the only time networks would take a chance on reality in primetime, but after Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Apprentice, and The Bachelor(ette), reality is now a year-round [...]

So, by now most of the TVgasm readers should have an idea about the background of The 4400. Abducted by future humans, changed somehow, and brought back in order to save mankind. Why so many? Well, if you’ve seen a movie like 12 Monkeys, you really know the danger of leaving the fate of the [...]

I am sure everybody hates being reminded about this every week I write about Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Inferno II, but I really, really, can’t stand the Bad Asses. I honestly think that they are bad human beings. True, there was a time when I rooted for Beth, but only because the rest of her [...]

Last weekend marked the return of The 4400, USA’s miniseries about a group of humans abducted and brought back to earth. When I announced the return of the series as well as the contest for the swag from the show, I hinted that they had been abducted by aliens. I said this mainly because I [...]

Over the last few weeks, TVgasm gave you the chance to win a bunch of prizes. We ran promotions for Into the West (the first episode continues tonight and new episodes follow for six weeks), the final season of Six Feet Under, which is now under way, as well as the second season of The [...]

TVgasm reader and sorryigotdrunk.com contributor spotdog sends us more proof that Rosie O’Donnell can’t be stopped. The reviews from her performance in Riding the Bus with My Sister are so outstanding, other shows are taking cues from her campaign in order to win some Emmy goodness of their own. Click on image for larger ad [...]

Who isn’t enjoying Beauty and the Geek? Until Big Brother rolls around, this is going to be the most enjoyable show on television this summer. As the show wears along, we’ll naturally find out more and more about each of the participants, like they are all actors or something. We also get to find the [...]

There is very little redeeming about Hit Me Baby One More Time. To enjoy watching it, you either have to love 80s music or revel in the complete humiliation of people in front of a live audience. I don’t really care if any of the people performing on the show do well or not. I [...]

I really hate exclamation points (sorry Meeshie), so the fact that I placed three in a row together in the title of this post should give you an indication of how much I enjoyed Dancing with the Stars. The show doesn’t wow you with its production values, but in the abyss that is summer programming, [...]
