We are now in the middles of a sort of renaissance on The OC. And while I have a feeling that the writers are going to be doing this each and every season that the show is in existence, I am not going to complain now that things appear to be in order. Well, maybe [...]

So, it’s nearly been two months since I have had much to say about Smallville. To say the writing has been up and down this year would be an understatement. I could barely stomach the Kryptonite dog episode, and the episode about Lois’ sister Lucy, was also so very unenjoyable. Then again, we have also [...]

As I mentioned earlier this week, TVgasm is going to be turning a year old May 11th. We were trying to figure out what we could do to celebrate. There were talks of Vegas, or perhaps the more pedestrian vodka and hookers. In the end, we decided that we wanted to find some way to [...]

So I am starting to get used to this new format for the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Things on The Inferno II, while not being completely original, at least gives us a novel approach to doing some things. I made fun of Dave Mirra last year because of he looked so very out of place [...]

So, I know what you have all came for, and yes, we have it. At the end of last week’s America’s Next Top Model, we were given a preview of Tyra tearing into somebody. There was a lot of speculation as to who it would be, and let’s be honest there are plenty of candidates. [...]

The great thing about having a television weblog is that people start giving you tips and rumors. While there are many bogus rumors out there, we do have reliable sources. One of those sources tells us that Nicole Richie is being fired from The Simple Life. TVgasm hasn’t commented on this show much since it’s [...]

Yes, TVgasm is 11 months old. It’s hard to imagine just how far we’ve come in that time. Looking back at our first month of posts, I can’t believe how much the site has changed. While we once had to annoy our friends and family just to get any stats on the site, we now [...]

We here at TVgasm really don’t like to bore you with the details of our lives in Los Angeles, but when we have an interaction of some sort that would be interesting to our readers, we feel we need to report. Some people say that blogs are nothing but a bunch of people linking other [...]

Isn’t it great to have The OC back to true form? As the show finished up last year, we had something that was light, humorous, and fun to watch. By the middle of this season, it looked like the writers had some idea that they could compete for a best drama Emmy. For their effort, [...]

Reality Blurred clues us in on yet another attempt from CBS parent Viacom to shake all the money out of the Amazing Race as quickly as possible. According to a NY Daily News article, Jonathan “I love Ritalin” Baker and Victoria “I love the Airbrush” Fuller are now in the middle of taping a new [...]

Now that we are a little ways through this fourth cycle of America’s Next Top Model, the decisions on the girls are starting to get a little tougher. On the whole, I am among those that says that this year’s cast was not as great overall as last year’s cast, but does that really matter? [...]

Dare I say it? We have reached what some may consider a mid-season lull, of sorts, on 24. Some may say that the show is reverting back to old form, but I for one cannot complain. As fast-paced as this season has been, you know there were have to fit a few moments when you [...]

Congratulations to Roy Williams and North Carolina for winning the 2005 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. It was an exciting tournament with lots of close finishes, and the final game was just as exciting as any of them. Illinois came back from being behind 15 points to tie, but in the end, Sean May could not [...]

Last week’s Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Inferno II ushered in one of the best twists I have seen in a long time, and it wasn’t even dependent on a producer’s fabrication of the situation or altering of the rules. After Beth was pretty much shit on by all of her teammates, she decided that when [...]

Some of you may or may not have noticed some changes in TVgasm over the last couple of weeks. We finally moved the site over to PHP, which will allow us to add some more features to the web site. A lot of these features are simply going to ease site maintenance, but there will [...]

It seems like I am starting a lot of my posts with apologies these days. I am going to have to apologize once again. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to come up with a humorous Constantine mashup for the front page. It’s not like you don’t have a lot to choose from. Now that [...]

Sometimes, it is hard to put a finger on why you love a television show. For instance, take the case of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Inferno II. What does it have to offer that other reality shows don’t have? It’s not new and original characters, because the same people are recycled. It’s not new [...]

I am sorry that I have not been very good with the tournament updates. After my favorite college team, Syracuse, lost in the first round, I partially lost interest in all my brackets (largely because I had them winning in almost all of them). When my alma mater, Dartmouth, lost in the first round of [...]

Last week was a tipping point of sorts for The OC this season. Perhaps all of the fans and critics had nothing to do with dragging the show out of the quagmire of lesbian rating stunts, but whatever realization the writers came to about where the season was headed, they seemed to have salvaged the [...]

Some of you may or may not know that we are big fans of sushi here at the TVgasm offices. Living in Los Angeles, there is a great range from the 99¢ Sushi Mac (which is overpriced, if you ask me) to fine establishments like Nobu and Matsuhisa. Since we have had more marriage proposals [...]

So, I hope that everybody has recovered from last week’s America’s Next Top Model. I know that it was Rebecca who had a seizure(OK, so I’m told it was a vasovagal syncope, but until I go to med school, I won’t care) and fell over, but it was the audience that I was afraid would [...]

Please forgive me for opening my post on this week’s Real World/Road Rules Challenge with such a lame title. I try to be slightly funny in my titles, but don’t try and go for the obvious and lame puns. This time, however, I couldn’t help it. There really is no more apt description for this [...]

Although I loved last week’s episode of 24, there was something missing. You know, terrorists. Don’t you just love watching Jack and the Super Friends take them out? I guess you could say the corporate commandos and the executives of McClennan-Forster were terrorists and Jack and his friends did take them out, but it’s just [...]

Everybody here at TVgasm have had a lot to say about The OC. The first two real articles on TVgasm were B-side and I weighing in on what we thought of the first season. Believe us when we say that we are huge fans of the show. Therefore, when we thought the show was declining [...]

OK, so much for all of my talk about being less tardy with the Real World/Road Rules Challenge (although I am really going to try to be better in the coming weeks). It turns out that the Inferno 2 is shaping up to be among the more interesting reunion seasons. So many of these people [...]

This post is going to have a couple of purposes. As you know, yesterday was St. Patrick’s day, one of the greatest drinking holidays known to man. The TVgasm employees decided that we would get a little sloppy and enjoy the evening. We met with a few friends for happy hour, and after several beers, [...]

The early returns are in, and it looks like most people believe that this season of America’s Next Top Model features a cast that really can’t compare with last year’s. While I sort of agree with that statement, I didn’t get into the show until a number of girls were already eliminated. And although I [...]

This just in. The 2005 NCAA Men’s Tournament field has been announced. If you happened to miss our notice this week, TVgasm is inviting everybody to make their predictions in the Yahoo! Sports Tournament Pick ‘Em for our group Million Dollar Gasm. It’s very easy. You make your picks. If you are the best among [...]

Sorry it has taken me so long to deliver my opinion on the first episode of Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno II. After some months of unemployment bliss, I found a full time job. Much to my surprise, this job has real responsibilities and stuff, so I can’t stay up to 3AM to finish [...]

So we are back with another episode of The OC after a week’s hiatus. Last week we got a replay of the episode where everybody visited Deep, met members of the valley, and Ryan chewed out Haley for trying to make a living in the hospitality business. Deep no longer exists, and from experiences last [...]

The selection show for America’s Next Top Model was good, but there were way too many bitches to weed out. Now that we are down to a more manageable fourteen, we can move on to the more important tasks of makeovers, awkward poses, and three months full of Tyra, Janice, Nigel, and Nolé. Unlike American [...]

On the whole, I am really enjoying this season of 24, but there are certain things that I miss. Who else remembers when the graphic violence warning at the beginning of an episode actually meant something? Nowadays, the put it up before every episode. Maybe I am just desensitized to the violence, but too often [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. NCAA tournament time. 65 teams all start out with one goal. No matter what your season has been before you entered, you need six more wins to become the champion. If you lose one more game, you go home. For those of you who don’t like the [...]

We try our best to stay on top of things here at TVgasm, but the rigors of jobs and the desire for a social life sometimes prevents us from always being ahead of the curve. We didn’t get into America’s Next Top Model until somebody suggested it, and we completely missed out on the pleasures [...]

Last year, The OC instantly became a huge part of our pop culture. The problem this year is that the writers are all too well aware of how they influenced the pop culture and believe that fact gives them license to do whatever they want to with the show and think the viewers won’t notice [...]

Every now and then, we have a meeting in the TVgasm offices and ask ourselves what kind of features we should implement to make TVgasm better. We take suggestions from readers, do a little brainstorming ourselves, and try to come up with improvements to the site. TVgasm reader Michael suggested that we add an RSS [...]

It’s only been three weeks since we have last seen Phil and friends do their run around the world, but next week ushers in the seventh season of The Amazing Race. We meant to give you a little more time to make your choices, but the date caught up to us quicker than we had [...]

I am sorry that I was so delinquent with my Smallville post from last week. Just after I had said that the episodes were off-topic, but enjoyable, we get an episode about killer dogs that had been experimented by Luthorcorp for a government weapons program. Oh, I checked out after that. Yes, I still watched [...]

For me, 24 is not just a TV show, it is almost a ritual. I don’t just casually wait until the show airs on Mondays, I have to prepare. From the opening credits you have to prepare yourself. It starts with the warning about graphic violence, then proceeds to the opening credits with the names [...]
