Daytime Television

I was never a big fan of the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy Ray Ramano’s comedy, and whenever I caught a repeat on the air, I usually had a good laugh. What I did notice was how huge of a bitch Patricia Heaton’s character became on the show. Every sitcom [...]

LSU: 62 Duke: 54 What can I say? I hate Duke.


America's Next Top Model

Many people have been lamenting this year as the ugliest in the history of America’s Next Top Model, but I have to disagree. For me, it is playing out like many previous seasons. The judges think they saw something in somebody, but after the makeover, sometimes girl’s unique look may end less fierce and more [...]


Miscellaneous TV

Yesterday was the premiere of Unan1mous the show Fox hails as a “social experiment” where a prize of $1,500,000 is available to whoever wins. The only catch is that everybody has to vote for the same person, and their possible prize goes down the longer they last in isolation. Unlike Big Brother, the players of [...]


South Park

Last night may have been one of the most highly anticipated episodes of South Park in a long time. Some of you may have already become sick of these foul-mouthed fourth graders, but I still watch every new episode, if only in the hopes that Trey Parker and Matt Stone come out with a sequel [...]


Recaps

A number of people have e-mailed me since the servers have moved to say that they aren’t able to leave comments. Rest assured, I have not banned a single person since we started using TypeKey, so it is very unlikely that you have done something to piss me so off I wouldn’t allow you to [...]

I think we can all say that the first weekend of the 2006 Men’s NCAA tournament had an excellent first weekend. Although I didn’t get to watch nearly as many games as I would have liked, and my boys from Syracuse were unceremoniously bounced in the first round, there has been a lot of great [...]


The Sopranos

So, I really wanted to pound out a full recap of The Sopranos last week because it had just returned from such a long hiatus and there was so much to talk about. Unfortunately, I was like a lot of people and couldn’t keep track of so many of the secondary characters that returned, and [...]


The O.C.

I have been wondering all week how the writers of The OC were going to try and convince us that this latest breakup between Ryan and Marissa is like, for reals this time. So far, whenever the writers try and pair Ryan with somebody other than Marissa, the viewers really start to complain. This time [...]


The Apprentice

Earlier today, we reported that Donald Trump and his wife Melania recently had a baby. Unfortuanately, we mortals are not important enough to know such important details like his name. Nevertheless, to celebrate the new arrival, I thought I would take bets on whether the proud papa lives to see his new progeny’s trust fund [...]


Miscellaneous TV

My evenings this weekend were on the tamer side. Among the more exciting things I did included getting my car washed, feeding the birds with left over pieces of my english breakfast scone from the Coffee Bean, and shopping for a new comforter at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I know, my life is so hectic, [...]


Veronica Mars

It’s been way too long since we have had the pleasure of a new episode of Veronica Mars. Unfortunately for those of us who prefer quality writing as opposed to repetitive renditions of the hits of Stevie Wonder, we had to sit tight until American Idol wound itself down to only a couple of hours [...]


Recaps

Some of you may have noticed that we had a few server problems last week and TVgasm was unavailable to certain parts of the country for a number of days. And by some of you, I mean hundreds, because my inbox was flooded with people wondering if TVgasm had ceased to exist. Rest assured, if [...]


America's Next Top Model

The makeover episode is always one of the most enjoyably during a season of America’s Next Top Model, so forgive me for once again going the cheap and easy route when it comes to the title of the recap. But none of that’s important. The reason I love the makeover episode is that we really [...]


Battlestar Galactica

Another season of Battlestar Galactica is now in the books, and for better or worse it had a lot of people talking. The finale threw us a surprise that I don’t believe very many people saw coming, and really changed the nature of the series. In my view, I think it changed for the better, [...]

In case you forgot, TVgasm is inviting readers to who enjoy college basketball and March Madness to play along with us in the ESPN’s 2006 NCAA Men’s Tournament Challenge. There is still time to join if you want to play along, and once you do, don’t forget tofill out your brackets at ESPN. If you [...]


The O.C.

I know there are plenty of diehard fans of The OC out there, and I consider myself one of them, so I would like to ask all of you for some help. Did this last episode make sense? I would have actually given this episode some fairly decent marks, but there is this one story [...]


The Sopranos

I was away all weekend and have subsequently gotten behind on my posts. I wanted to do a full recap of The Sopranos, but I didn’t want everybody to be forced to wait until later in the week to start chatting about the episode, so I thought I would put up a little tease. Depending [...]


The Apprentice

So, it’s still Monday and you still aren’t getting anything done. Maybe you didn’t want to do the survey, how about watching the one of the worst movies ever created? It’s called Soul Sistahs and features our favorite Apprentice bitch, Omarosa. I received an e-mail letting me know that this movie exists, and was going [...]


Recaps

Let’s be honest. It’s Monday. You’re not going to get much work done. You’re somewhere between thinking how much time you can kill on your coffee break, and how much time you can kill figuring out what you should order for lunch. Why not waste a little time and fill out a survey? One of [...]


Sports

It’s funny how things can change in the space of a few days. I would usually take this time to make fun of UConn fans, who had anointed themselves champions of everything, and then promptly lost their first game in the Big East tournament, but they lost to the eventual champions, SYRACUSE, so I won’t [...]


Miscellaneous TV

As many of you know, we are holding a giveaway for Lifetime’s new reality series, Cheerleader Nation, which premieres this Sunday, March 12 (check local listings). A lot of people may recognize the squad featured in the series was also featured in MTV’s True Life: I’m a Cheerleader. I got a chance to look at [...]


America's Next Top Model

Last night marked the return of America’s Next Top Model. Once again, the models begin their journey in Los Angeles, and although I already knew who the thirteen finalists would be because the official website of Cycle 6 doesn’t make it a secret, that doesn’t mean the selection show is any less enjoyable. There are [...]


Battlestar Galactica

After a stellar episode of Battlestar Galactica last week, I think we were all waiting to see the follow up from all of the aftermath from last week. Sharon and Six had about 36 hours to perhaps change the course of Cylon events. Would their plan to make the Cylons less murderous actually work? Well, [...]


Sports

Well, it looks like there are plenty of TVgasm readers who watch college basketball, and even for those that could care less about college basketball, they still want to take part in any time-wasting activities that TVgasm sponsors. So with that in mind, we want to invite everybody to play in in TVgasm’s 2006 NCAA [...]


24

Well, there really isn’t much to describe this latest episode of 24. People know that I am a heartless bastard, but by the end, there was some sort of salty discharge that was rolling down my cheek. Before all you sick bastards make fun of me, and start making money shot jokes, I think I [...]


Sports

While checking Gizmodo to determine if the cell phone I lust over has been released yet, I learned that the first three rounds of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament will be broadcast for free over the web. The only thing that kept my productivity through March at what I would call even a marginal level [...]


Miscellaneous TV

I was in Las Vegas this weekend, and whille I would love to regale you with stories about meeting famous people at exclusive bars, nothing of interest happened, unless you are particulary worried about the beatings my liver and wallet took. While I was minding my own business, sipping my vodka on the rocks, trying [...]


Survivor

Hello folks, it is me again, your humble J-Unit. B-side is still getting caught up, so once again, I get the nod to fill in for Survivor. Sorry for the tardiness, but I am dispatching this from an undiscolsed location in Las Vegas. Thankfully, I was able to post in the last few sober hours [...]


Miscellaneous TV

A few weeks ago, I made it well-known that dislike the idea of celebrities who paste rat pubes to their face in order to demonstrate to every gullible network executive that he brings an edge that is more authentic than the person who intereviewed with a tribal arm band tattoo. The actor was Eric Balfour, [...]


Battlestar Galactica

Now THAT’S what I’m talking about! It only took a couple of months, but we finally had an episode of Battlestar Galactica that was original, exciting, and left us wanting more. Ever since the series has started, it threw us a lot of questions and most of the time gave us some interesting answers to [...]


Contests

With all of the multitude of giveaways here at the ‘Gasm, it’s easy to forget how often we stroke our egos be giving away free stuff. All kidding aside, there are still a bunch of contests out there for our readers, and we atned to give a little rundown of what’s available so nobody misses [...]


24

Is it just me or does 24 really help you get through Mondays? You could have a shitty job, but going through Monday is so much easier knowing that Jack will be kicking the ass that you didn’t get a chance to because you let people walk all over you during the day. And even [...]


Survivor

Well everybody, B-Side is slightly behind on some of his recaps, and in an effort to make sure he is fresh for all new seasons of The Apprentice and Amazing Race next week, I’ll be doing some guest recapping on Survivor. Last week, La Mina suffered their first lost in an immunity challenge and decided [...]


Battlestar Galactica

I still have hope for Battlestar Galactica, but we are really on the verge of having to give these writers a little bit of an intervention. This show was good because it was different, and now it is really indistinguishable from any number of other programs out there. The writers try and make every episode [...]


The Sopranos

To tell you the truth, I hope that I didn’t have to remind anybody that the sixth and possibly final season of The Sopranos is starting next month (Check local listings). The Sopranos is one of the best showcases for original series on premium cable. Although it has never had to go up against the [...]


24

If anybody told you that they saved nearly a thousand people, including many children (with balloons!), you would probably say job well done. Then again, your world probably doesn’t have a bunch of terrorists trying to kill Americans with top secret nerve gas. That’s the world that everybody at CTU and the rest of 24 [...]


Contests

The new season of Survivor really snuck up on me, so I didn’t have time to do the customary contest, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get in the mood for The Amazing Race. Yes, in one week, Phil is back, and now that the teams are back down to a more manageable size, we [...]


Smallville

This week on Smallville, we got a little preview into the issues that are going to dominate the last part of the season, but first we had to introduce another friend of Clark Kent. With the show getting on in years, and original story lines harder to come by, the writers can always dip into [...]
