Only 10 days until a new Real World / Road Rules Challenge premieres. The lame sounding concept is that of “Fresh Meat” competing against umm…spoiled old nasty maggoty meat, but enough about Tonya’s vagina. ZING! Though the concept sounds a little shark jumpy-y, the trailer MTV is circulating makes is seem like there is some [...]

This season, Saturday Night Live has become relevant again, thanks in no small part to their “Digital Shorts” feature lead by freshman player Andy Samberg. His Lazy Sunday video was the most downloaded thing to ever hit the World Wide Web since Al Gore invented it in the late ’80s, just barely beating out porn [...]

In what is just another indicator of TVgasm’s power and influence leading up to its inevitable global domination: Just one month after TVgasm readers voiced their rage with prematurely cancelled shows, the Bravo network has ordered Brilliant But Cancelled back on the air… sort of. The ironically short-lived Logo show Brilliant But Cancelled is getting [...]

Earlier this week, I was fortunate enough to have a chance to speak with Tom Bergeron for a little one on one before he left to shoot the next edition of that beloved comedy staple, America’s Funniest Home Videos. Unlike some other recent interviews whose subject matter esacpes me, it was a casual conversation with [...]

With Child Protective Services on the verge of removing Britney and Kevin Federline’s child, the Chaotic stars have a backup plan… On tonight’s Late Show, Britney “surprised David by confirming she is in fact preggers with baby number two,” according to one audience member and TVgasm reader. It’s uncertain at what point this is a [...]

Just in case there isn’t enough buzz surrounding that little show Lost, ABC (not fox) has begun running ads for the Hanso Foundation in publications across the nation. A companion no doubt to its website and online game, its silly, harmless, and most pleasant of all, clever ad campaign. The add references the book Bad [...]

For those of you who missed it, here is the climax of a two-hour special on a major television network. It is in no way boring or creepy. Note @ 7:40(ish) one of the divers nails him in the Little Blaines.

Tonight, on ABC, magician David Blaine has another special of him not doing magic. After bing submerged in a tank of water for a week (another non amazing non magic thing he did) he will attempt to hold his breath for a record breaking 9 minutes!! THAT’S LONGER THAN ANY OTHER PERSON EVER, FREAKING WOW!! [...]

The bleeding heart blue state liberals in Hollywierd are determined to put the gay into weddings across America. In what is destined to become the gayest show ever, and I don’t mean gay as in homosexual, I mean gay as in retarded (thanks Sarah Silverman), New Line is currently casting for wedding singers to compete [...]

Cruise Over Exposed? This past weekend, the third installment in the massively successful Mission: Impossible franchise opened nationwide. Mission: Impossible III was a no-brainer cash cow worthy of its money-hemorrhaging budget. Huge franchise. Huge director. Huge budget. Huge actor. What could possibly go wrong? With a budget soaring above $200 million this was clearly going [...]

Click to play For those who can never get enough of The Colbert Report, here is Stephen Colbert at this weeks White House Correspondents dinner. I’ve long said CSPAN was a great source of comedy, the political satire they’ve been doing these past few years with the cast playing government workers purging our surplus, violating [...]

For only $85 a night, you can support this poor girl’s drinking binges. Please give. or Jeez, this sauna is making me Svet. The first from her cast to go from reality star to “15th minute holder-on’er,” Svetlana Shusterman, can currently be seen at FHM online or undoubtedly in some future issue of the magazine. [...]

Remember that show Dr. 90210 that no one was watching about a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon/aspiring actor/model who umm.. I’m not really sure what it was about other than an arrogant guy with a god complex kickboxing while his pregger wife shopped. No? Well don’t tel Carl’s Jr advertising executives that, as they have oh [...]

If the FCC should fine anything, it should be these flagrant eye-olations of good taste and family standards. Which one is banging you harder right now? Inpsired by current TVgasm live chat.….if you’re not in it, you’re really missing out.

Every now and again a gem appears where you would least expect it. This time around, it was found in the crap factory that is Vh1. Vh1 recently began airing Cant Get A Date which I assumed was going to be their venture into Elimidate or 5th Wheel territory. What it actually turns out to [...]

Just a little something to keep you equally as distracted during tonight’s episode of 24 as I have been for the past 4 1/2 seasons…Jack is always out of breath. Last week, J-Unit came by to watch 24 on my sexy new HD flat screen, which makes me cool. During the show I mentioned to [...]

First Daughter Suri Cruise checked herself into rehab this morning. This is just the most recent in a series of publicized stumbles for the first family’s only child. You’ll remember in 2023 her brief engagement to Sean Preston Federline was cut short under mysterious circumstances when Sean Preston, while on a Scientology retreat, vanished in [...]

Am I alone? Apparently, I am a “suspense whore” with far lower standards than the rest of America. The camels back was heavily weighted back in 2003 with the cancellation of FOX’s John Doe. It was about a guy who woke up naked on an island with no memory, a creepy scar and the encyclopedia [...]

WOW! What a response!! I recieved over 400 entries for part two of the Scene It? Friends edition giveaway. And I learned something about our readers… you guys soooooo Googled answers. There is no way we would have a 90% accuracy rate on the questions otherwise. All I have to say is I am appalled!! [...]

We’re not totally sure this is Kellie Pickler, but if it is, this confirms our belief that before American Idol, Kellie Pickler was the 10pm feature dancer at the Jiggle Shack off Route 20, next to the pickle mill.

This was a difficult contest to judge. The volume alone was astounding. Tens of tens of readers submitted trivia questions — the sheer volume alone required B-Side’s coffee to go un-warmed, J-Unit’s daily mid-day foot massage had to be moved to every other day, and I had to chew my own food as the TVgasm [...]

To watch all The Office April Fools PSA’s go to The Office website.

Beginning tonight at midnight, Showtime will be offering free service until April 4. When I scampered on over to the Showtime website I realized, they have some damned good shows. In my humble opinion, better than the HBO lineup. For those of you who either don’t already get Showtime, or don’t pay attention to it, [...]

Hello FRIENDS. TVgasm’s shameless attempt to lure you into loving us continues with our most recent giveaway for Scene It? Friends Edition. Let your friends test your knowledge of FRIENDS against your friends’ knowledge of FRIENDS with a friendly game of Scene It? FRIENDS Edition. Let’s face it — Friends hasn’t been on TV in [...]

Former secretary of defense for the Reagan administration and current Fox News analyst (thus making this relevant for TVgasm) Caspar W. Weinberger has died at the age of 88. While the cause of death has not yet been reported, one thing is clear… he will be one friendly ghost. Casper, the friendly ghost The friendliest [...]

When one thinks of sharp timing, creative formats, and comedic genius in the world of late night entertainment, a few names come to mind. Magic Johnson, Pat Sajack, Alan Thicke, and of course Chevy Chase. Now, some of our readers may be too young to remember a time when Chevy Chase was said by some [...]

According to his blog / website, Project Runway bridesmaid and winner of the Miss Congeniality title, Santino, will be moving from his current hovel to someplace “still in LA.” That’s good news for everyone not in LA. The bad news for you guys, you won’t be able to take part in the opportunity of a [...]

Dear Bill, Why do you hate America? Sincerely, Madeyoulaugh “American Idol 3″ winner Fantasia Barrino will be the subject of an original biopic exec produced by Bill Haber that will deal with her victory over an adolescence in which she endured sexual abuse, poverty and illiteracy.”

For the past few months, YouTube has become a nice little diversion for bored people. For those who missed televised pop culture phenomenon’s or home video of a 14 year old dancing with friends, YouTube.com has become a pretty good library of the cool and random. What does this have to do with TV? Well [...]

Some people are just briliant. Be it the guy who thought of those little corn ear holders in the shape of little corn ears, the guy who came up with velcro shoes or whoever came up with the 2-ounce shot glass. Brilliant inventions all. All these however pale in comparison to the genius behind the [...]

Pretty soon you’ll be able to watch THE OFFICE while umm…at the office. Well that just wrote itself, didn’t it? Special episodes of THE OFFICE are being shot for the internet starring the accounting staff of Dunder Mifflin in an office themed who-dunnit. I have a feeling the ancillary cast of several TV shows becoming [...]

Sad news to report today, former game show host and giver of gasms Peter Tomarken died yesterday of natural causes brought on by a plane plunging into the ocean. Now while TVgasm doesn’t often post obituaries, when the passer was giver of many a ‘gasm, their passing should not go unnoticed. I’m not sure how [...]

< sarcasm > Finally our prayers have been answered. For too long television sets across America have been inundated with mindless drivel. Shows about people stuck on islands, aspiring models eating pig rectums and baboon wang, The O’Reilly Factor… I know what you’re thinking, and I completely agree, “None of those shows have the class, [...]

This week, we all lost someone very close to our heart. Edgar Stiles, or “Nugget” as we used to call him back in college, was a dedicated CTU worker, and loving beta fish breeder and of course a collector of 1957 Vintage Crochet Ruffled Doilies. I’ve known Nugget since Mrs. Blunck’s advanced typing class in [...]

Back in my day, before shows had celebrities dancing and ice skating, we had to settle for a small, teeny, low budget show which sent everday Americans in an amazing race around the world…and we liked it that way. Many of you may be too young to remember Johnathan and Victoria from CBS’ amazing race…we [...]

I know what you’re thinking, didnt you leave TVGasm? Well, yeah I did. But like an alchoholic at a bar, or a Tom Cruise near a couch (my references are so last season), sometimes temptation is just too damn great to let it go unspoken. So as one final addition to my Reality Double Take [...]

To whom it may concern, It seems like only a year three months and one week ago that I wrote my my first TVgasm post. 141 posts later, and I find myself writing my final post. Some good, some bad, some clever, some sad. And lord knows, I am going to miss coming up with [...]
