As an early birthday present, Flipit promised me that I’d get to recap a show that is nothing like American Inventor. I’d say that Heroes qualifies. Good thing I started learning Japanese a year ago, so now I can sort of figure out what Hiro and Ando are really saying. Not really, but I can [...]

Dearest Readers, we have reached the end of a long and arduous journey, one marked by a lot of American flag print shirts, awkward moments tinged with sexual tension, and deluded, potentially psychopathic individuals. We’ve had old people try to convince us that copper cures all ailments (including avian flu), we’ve had crazies try to [...]

That’s right, I said TWO hours, not one, of the show that’s half-responsible for ABC’s lowest season ratings yet. With a measly 2.0 rating, only “The Next Best Thing” scored lower with a 1.9. Even “Lyrics” and “Last Comic Standing” dominated it. Hell, “Dateline” (when isn’t that show about double homicides and upstanding citizens who [...]

We are one week closer to someone winning a million dollars and then quickly spiraling downwards into reality-television obscurity.

British Man, we hardly liked ye. RIP. This week on American Inventor: Holy crap! British Man was attacked and shot by a psychotic (and potentially rabid) contestant who just couldn’t cope with the rejection! ABC’s rating skyrocketed through the roof, and the show’s been canceled to pay the ensuing legal fees!

This week on Why Japan Kicks our Ass in the World of Technology: I am sorry to report that our judges have not been replaced with four poo-flinging monkeys. New York has completely failed to live up to expectations (thanks, Black Cougar, for trying). Chicago’s going strong. Finalists for the two cities will be announced. [...]

This week, we visit the Windy City and the Big Apple. Unfortunately, none of our judges have found better things to do with their time and money than this show. George, SPANX, Pat, and British Man are still richer than you will ever be. On a sidenote, I attended my first arena football game yesterday [...]

This week on American Inventor: I learned why I should have recapped Pirate Master instead.
