So after a few weeks off, Desperate Housewives is back. Where I was somewhat disappointed with the last batch of fresh episodes (the return of Zach & Paul Young? Really?), this episode didn’t leave me wanting to manually tweeze out all of my pubic hairs. And that is certainly saying something. In fact, besides a [...]

Alrighty O.C. buddies out there, I’m sure you’re looking at this lapse in recap goodness as a sign of weakness, laziness or euthanasia. I’m here to tell you that while you’re right on all counts, you are also oh so wrong. Where you say “What the F-Bomb is up with no recaps for three weeks?”, [...]

Desperate Housewives has really started to ramp up again. Sure, I am the first to admit that I have a full-on love/hate relationship with this show. But somehow, when it’s firing on all cylinders, it’s one of my favorite things on television. And it seems to me, that these last couple of weeks, things are [...]

You know what the best part about writing a recap that only 6 people read? That basically sense can be thrown out the window. And that’s pretty much the order of the day with this week’s The O.C. recap. So while we’ll be discussing what happened with Che and Seth went on a spirit quest [...]

Desperate Housewives, you tricky, dirty little whore, you! Last week I was left sort of cold (and if you haven’t checked up the recap from that episode it was late due to some drunken miscommunication between b-side and myself, but it’s here). I don’t particularly know why, but Gabrielle’s antics in the flower shop and [...]

This week with The O.C. recap I’m going to try something a little different. Since, generally speaking, a lot happens on this show, and unlike many other shows I’m interested in most of it, I’m readjusting the format of these recaps. What!?!?! Huh!?!? Who!!?!? Now don’t get yourselves all fired up. But much like life [...]

Here we are, 2006′s body isn’t even cold yet, and 2007 has already delivered a fresh episode of Desperate Housewives. Now, this recap undertaking isn’t quite as painful as it was earlier this season, when the question still loomed large as to whether or not Wisteria Lane would continue its Applewhite induced shame spiral into [...]

So by now we’ve all heard the bad news. As of February 22nd, The O.C. will be no longer. Cancelled. Kaput. Axed. Should I have seen the writing on the wall when Hercules himself was guest starring and Julie was running a Prostitution ring? Maybe. But it doesn’t make the news any easier to deal [...]

Alright, so I learned my lesson with last week’s quickie The O.C. recap. Was it the worst recap ever, as ginaballerina21 suggested? Possibly. I even realized that it wasn’t up to snuff as I was laying down the Who? What? When? Where? And Why? Of it all. Sorry. I mean, how could I have failed [...]

Alright, so again I thought that The O.C. was a repeat this week, leaving me extra time to get this recap up, but again, I was wrong. Sorry, I’ve got Santa and finals on the brain. But as a special treat, you get an extra special recap. What makes it extra special? Chrismukkah of course! [...]

Best. Episode. Ever. No, I’m totally serious. This was the best episode in the history of The O.C. I defy you to object. What, you prefer Seth and Summer (R.I.P. Bilsody) reuniting via a lame recreation of the upside down make out from Spider-Man? Oliver holding Coop hostage? Coop biting it in Ryan’s arms? Sure [...]

OK this OC intro is going to be brief because I’m wicked late with my recap, I have finals this week and I’m still recuperating from a Bar Crawl in Boston (see you use of word “wicked” above) this past weekend – let’s here it for Charity Binge Drinking!!!!… So on with it already!

In the immortal 80′s classic Fame, Montgomery McNeil asks: “Never being happy isn’t the same as being unhappy. Is it?” Well, Montgomery, I don’t know the answer to that particular plight, but I wonder about a similar predicament. Is being wrong and not being right the same thing? Because by all accounts, my theory that [...]

So The O.C. wasn’t on last week (thank you Pilgrims for having dinner with the Indians before mercilessly slaughtering them and stealing their land!), so I got a little lazy with the recap. Sue me! It’s not easy grinding these puppies out week after week. I get a rerun, and goddammit, I’m going to take [...]

This episode of Desperate Housewives has a lot to offer mostly because of what it excludes. There is no Julie. There is no Austin. There is some Carlos and some Gabby, but there is no Carlos AND Gabby. There are Mike scenes, but one of them involve his arrest, so there is hope for the [...]

It was inevitable that after the best episode in years last week, Desperate Housewives would hit a lull with the follow-up. I mean, you can only kill The Babe and Aunt Jackie once, so how do you come back from that? But while I was expecting a complete and utter collapse, we were still treated [...]

So I definitely DID NOT at all, even remotely, get misty eyed during this episode of The O.C. Not at all. Certainly not at the last 2/3′s of the episode when Julie discovered that her daughter’s killer was apprehended. Or when she realized she needs to move on from Marissa’s death. Or when she asked [...]

Fox says: “We’re giving you two episodes of The O.C. this week,” and I say: “Yes, please!” But here’s the question at hand: if a once great show, stumbles for 2 years and then makes an incredible creative resurgence, does anyone care? If the ratings are any indication, it would appear not. Last week’s season [...]

Those of us Nip/Tuck watchers who are thankful that the Carver is a thing of the past, yet confounded by this show’s inability to cohesively move current plot strands along in a timely manner, are not going to be too pleased with this week’s episode. For some reason there has been a continuing a misbegotten [...]

This week’s episode of Desperate Housewives, was the much talked about, heavily promoted Supermarket Hostage episode. And I’ll be damned if it didn’t deliver. It seems the last few weeks of great episodes reached its peak with this, the season’s best episode of Desperate Housewives thus far. This greatness is mostly because of Laurie Metcalf [...]

In honor of election day and the series-low ratings for the fourth Season Premiere of The O.C. last Thursday, I am imploring with all of you once and future OC-fans to check out the show this week as you get two, count ‘em two, chances to catch up with Ryan, Seth, Summer, Marissa, err, Taylor [...]

When does J-Unit’s busy schedule become Umnata’s blessing? When the big guy doesn’t have time to post The O.C. recap, that’s when! I’m the first to admit that this show pretty much has been heading to TJ in a hand basket since mid-season 1 (yeah, I’m talking to you, Oliver). Obviously things reached their nadir [...]

As was teased on TVgasm earlier, this week’s episode of Nip/Tuck had something you don’t see very much outside of the specialty section of your local porn shop: Midget sex. Okay, okay, not full-on hardcore midget-to-midget sex, but rather the seduction of our favorite unstable heroine, Julia, by Manny Marlow, who I think is more [...]

I think it’s safe. Wait, well, maybe. You just have to be careful about who you are talking to and where you are. But I’m pretty sure it’s okay to say that you like Desperate Housewives again. Recently, enjoying an episode of Desperate Housewives, has kind of become like hooking up with the homeliest girl [...]

What is up with the return of the Nip/Tuck Season 1 guest stars? First we had Manny Ramirez – I mean drug dealer Escobar and Sean’s ex-lover Megan showing up as Sean’s conscience while he was grappling with psycho-nanny Monica. Now it’s time for the return of Plastic Surgery addict, Mrs. Grubman. You remember her? [...]

Sorry this is a little late – especially for you 8 readers out there who are checking this recap out. That’s right, Desperate Housewives, the 5th highest rated show got a piddly 8 comments last week. Sure, it could be my inconsistency writing these recaps, my countless grammatical and spelling errors or even my penchant [...]

We traded out Dr. Faith and her Blue Lagoon of Madness for an extra helping of Rosie O’Donnell chewing up the scenery as Dawn Budge this week on Nip/Tuck. But is it the better of two evils? The jury’s still out, but you let me know. The real important issues in this episode are, however, [...]

No The Babe this week! I know for many of you that means a much better time in front of your TV, but for me, it means nothing but sadness. They bounce back with a decidedly solid hour of television, even if the Babe quotient is severely diminished. To compensate Desperate Housewives brings out the [...]

What’s better than no recap? Intermittent multi-episode recapped recaps! Luckkkkky! J-Unit has his frackin’ hands Sci-Fi fill with Battlestar Galactica (much like Veronica Mars, I may not know what a “Cylon” is, but I sure do frackin’ love me some frack) and Heroes, that I thought since I’m finally all caught up with the worlds [...]

Here we are. Remember after the season premiere of Nip/Tuck how angry I was about Christian giving it to his therapist, Dr. Faith, in a painful doggy style banging. Why would an educated, successful, beautiful, professional PSYCHATRIST take it from behind from this slimeball? Well, after weeks of not hearing from the moronic Dr. Faith, [...]

In the immortal words of Ron Burgundy: “Don’t act like you’re not impressed.” Come on, the complete and utter breakdown of the Desperate Housewives, Season 3 recaps, one week into the new season is somewhat impressive. I mean episode 2 and already no recap? Brilliant! I always knew that Teri Hatcher would ruin my life, [...]

So, yeah I suck. It’s been a hectic couple of weeks, and getting to my recaps has been harder than staying away from our teenage TVgasm Pages. But here I am now back and better than ever! Did we miss a detailed gory recount of Melissa Gilbert having sex with her dog? Yes, and I [...]

So, yeah. I’d have loved to drop this show, but how could I abandon the very show that made me TVgasmic in the first place? I couldn’t! After the aborted fetus that was last season, Desperate Housewives can only get better, right? They’ve gotten rid of the Applewhites, the Youngs, put Mike in a coma [...]

As some of you know, I am not only a sarcastic asshole, who spends much of his time mocking deformed babies, fighting the war on Paris Hilton and developing man-crushes, I am also the founder of The Summer Hope Foundation. And what’s the point of being a huge internet celebrity if you can’t use it [...]

Wow. So last week the comments on my recap for Nip/Tuck were pretty much even divided between those of you who loathe my take on the show, and those who like it. Most distressing of all were those of you whose comments neither stroke nor bruise my ego, suggesting that perhaps. I do, in fact, [...]

Some pretty good stuff this week on Prison Break as The Fox River 7 (well, should it be 6 since Haywire is still nowhere to be found), all converge West towards the buried treasure in Utah, which for the first time is revealed to have cities within it. Also, we get to see some of [...]

Last week, we said goodbye to Felicity, Buffy, Angel, Dawson and any hope that What I Like About You’s cancellation was all a big hoax as the WB said good night, and good luck, for one last time. But all is not lost, my dear TVgasm readers! Tomorrow night, the new CW launches with its [...]

So sorry my Prison Break fans, but I know you have all gotten used to Amanda’s “well written” and “coherent” recaps of Prison Break over these past two weeks, but now its Umnata’s turn behind the recap wheel. Don’t worry Amanda will be back in a few weeks, so you won’t have to read my [...]
