Hey Gasmi.  How many of you out there think that Nashville is now going to add a Mindy McCready –based character, now that she is (sadly) back in the news.  At least for one or two cycles.  Until some other celebrity fucks up.  If anyone out there is wondering why we even care about this, [...]

I saw a commercial today for the upcoming Nashville episode. YUM! Deacon looks incredibly f-ckable.Remember what I said about Gunnar’s brother looking a bit WP prag material? Check it: Oui ou Non?  So we open to something I cringed through – Juliette and Rayna performing Wrong Song to in some McStadium. Rayna’s pretty much taking [...]

Yes, dearest gasmii, I am a terrible person. It’s true, just look up my CSIS file (I’m a national disgrace). But I’m also a working mom (like there is any other kind?) so my free time is limited to bathroom breaks and I don’t quite get wifi in the can. Luck has struck in the [...]

We open with Rayna belting out Wrong Song while various pasty white dudes groove down in the background. Juliette is supposed to be there but she apparently has pulled a Lohan (BTW – y’all need to read the NYTimes article of the making of The Canyons. I think the writer was surprisingly fair to Lohan [...]

***SourCake brings us your November comments! Ah, November, I barely remember you at all. My daughter turned one, I had to go back to work after a blissful year of SAHMing and I didn’t get to spend nearly as much time online as I was accustomed to (see above re: stay-at-home-mom). Luckily, in pulling together this [...]

After the Prevouslies, we open with Rayna and Liam strutting backstage. He’s pretty handsy. I like it. Liam has really grown on me over the past two episodes. Are they writing him as an alcoholic or is it my imagination? Oh those nutty creative types…always willing to wreck their liver for their art! Teddy walks [...]

We open with Rayna and Liam McGuiness (Or Shanty McGaelic, as I reflexively re-named him) listening to some new tracks. Captain Bringdown (Bucky) comes in with the news that record exec Marshall is playing hardball. He not happy, so he’s planning to release a Rayna Greatest Hits record. Rayna is frustrated and rather ticked. Rayna [...]

Doesn’t it feel like this show has been yapping at our heels like an irritating dog for months?  Ugh, if I have to see Lohan’s bloated face smirking at me one more time, I may have to get mean. When I first started thinking about how to approach this recap, I thought a lot about [...]

Heyhey Gasmites! Were you like me and missed Nashville last week? Here’s hoping this week makes up for last week’s Nashville’s bereftitude. Yes, I am aware that is not really a word. SourCake has all that fancy schoolin’ and she still thinks she can just make up words… Juliette in her amazing condo with that dumb [...]

** Just wanted to let all the glamour lovers know I had this ready to go last night but then my internet connection decided to kick back, stick a rock in the pipe, grab a lighter and quit fucking working.  Sorry all. ** Hey lovely gasmites! I’m hard at work at the actual recap but I wanted to [...]

OK, folks, I’ma level with y’all. My heart just isn’t really into this recap. It was my darling baby’s birthday this weekend. So…up until now, my time has been pretty jam-packed with real-life stuff. Also, because I stuffed myself sick last night and am suffering the worst food hangover of my life, I can barely [...]

AND WE’RE OFF: Juliette’s coerced by her publicist into doing some ridiculous, zoo-themed publicity stunt that throws her into the path of Tim Tebow…sorry, some dumb-fuck actor playing the role of Tim Tebow. Rayna’s looking to make some drastic changes to her career and she finds just the right producer to help her along her [...]

We open with Juliette being queen bee of the studio. She’s force-marching her band thru take after take of a song they already have nailed. The consensus between Deacon, the publicist (damn, I really need to find out her name if she’s going to be a recurring character!) and Goodman is that Juliette is avoiding [...]

Good evening Gasmites. I must give a hearty and humiliated shoutout to Peanut29 . Thank you for schooling me re: Hootie. OF COURSE Darius Rucker was in Hootie and the Blowfish and not Counting Crows. Stupid SourCake. I especially should have known this as Hoots and his Blowfish covered one of my fave songs, I [...]

Holla, guys and gals!  I’m not quite in the pisser of a mood I was in earlier in the week (thanks cold meds!) but luckily for y’all, my default setting is angry bitch. We open on Rayna and Deacon rolling around in the sheets engaged in filthy, extramarital shenanigans. My first thought – Is this [...]

Hey, hey ‘gasmi!  Happy All Hallow’s Eve.  Gotta warn ya going in – I am in a foul mood.  No need to get into it, just know that sometimes life sucks.  With that out of the way, let’s get into our minicap. We open with Rayna having a filthy dream about Deacon and getting woken [...]

We open with sweeping views of Nashville while Juliette’s terrible (but now stuck in my head) song Telescopeplays . Juliette’s preening before a camera as she goes about her business being a mega-super-star and idol to tweenage girls everywhere. She gets a dual dose of bad news: Deacon has once again refused to tour with [...]

“Hi! Hope I’m not too late to make you feel like shit about yourself!” Holy sweet moly, gasmi. What a great show tonight! I was riveted. And I’m totally digging each character’s development. All the choices they made seemed authentic (minus one GLARING one that I’ll get into later). Lovelovelove it! So there was a [...]

Is everybody ready for the second episode of my new favourite show? Juliette is. She opens the epi by prancing around in shorty-shorts and a bustier last seen on Xina in the Lady Marmalade video. Tres trashy! Capping off the look is cowboy boots. Now, I grew up in Alberta so I know my cowboy [...]

Hey all y’all. Are you ready for another dip into the waterin’ hole? So, do they all do their own singing?  I meant to get into last week’s recap but I got distracted by giggling with delight that GH’s Lucky Spencer – a boy I feel I watched grow up on television – appears to [...]

Hello all and welcome to my first full-length recap for the ‘gasm. I was lucky enough to be assigned Nashville. Or perhaps unlucky as this show is GREAT! It’s hard to snark and smirk at a show I am genuinely enjoying on a not-at-all ironic or postmodern level. I’ll do my best to be funny [...]

Hey everybody! Welcome to my very first Tvgasm (mini)recap. I’m hard at work on the full length version but I hope this snippet will amuse your bouche, so to speak. I really enjoyed the premiere and I have fairly high hopes for this show; I’ve been a fan of Connie Britton’s work since Spin City [...]
