We're still waiting for 90210 and Melrose Place to come back, but their absence didn't mean we didn't have plenty to watch. Join us!
Bad Girls Club: Cherie:
Last night on BGC, Batshit put itching powder in KlanBarbie's bed. They still make that stuff? Batshit generally got on everyones nerves and then Batshit and KlanBarbie kissed and made up. Literally. This pissed the other dingbats off. Looney gave us a history lesson, then the twits went go-cart racing and unfortunately no one was killed.
There was lots of drinking and fighting, and Looney finally grew some balls and lost her shit. Did I mention there was fighting? Lexie went on a rampage to find out who nicknamed her Miss Piggy and all hell broke loose. Oh and there's more spitting too. Then they all shared a group hug and all was well in all the land. That last part is bullshit so you'll just have to wait for the recap to find out what really happened. To check out the Bad Girls Club archives, go here.
American Idol and The Good Wife: Flipit
I don't start recapping AI full time until the performance shows, and episodes like last night's really make me regret it. There was a big sweaty guy with bad hair that looked like an unkept version of Bob's Big Boy and refused to leave the room after stinking it up because someone told him all you need to succeed is adamance and will. A bath and some talent might just get you there buddy!
The freakshow was in full swing, as TwuntyMcslore's upcoming recap will no doubt detail. Simon really liked a "worship leader", which means GOKEY. ARGH!! Thankfully, this worship master doesn't have a dead wife. He has a live wife and some brats. And they all wear plaid. All the time. He sang a song he wrote, and it's your typical worship leader fare. "Life is soooo great yay life happy times yay." That was almost a direct quote. Avril didn't want to pass him through cuz he has kids and life as a stah is hard and he will have to leave them so she said no. Skara, not one to form her own thoughts ever, jumped on the Avril bandwagon and said "I don't know...I don't know if you'll be there for your church." LOL. I think even Jesus got a good laugh at Skara talking about church.
There was also a punked out, ate up single mom who could sing her ass off, and a kid whose dad "saved me from being in the gangs, or death" by moving out of Compton. They're really running dry on the sob stories at this point. I got out of El Paso, Texas, but that doesn't mean otherwise I would have been a maid or taco stand owner. The dad cried a lot, which led me to believe his ass was out of Compton cuz he kept getting beat up for being a wuss. Possible gang member had a killer voice, and should do well.
The best part of the show for me were the guest judges. Avril Levine was dressed like a demonic baby toy and she was really giggly and mean. Katy Perry was stunningly gorgeous, had a fun cynical ass attitude, and was also pretty rude. I love them like that. You know, when they're NOT SINGING. Those two are f ing terrible. At the end of the day, we learned Los Angeles can house sociopaths and narcissists better than anyone else. The real news of the day came from the internets. Ellen already hates Simon and is supposedly talking shit behind his back. This should be some fun times!!
The Good Wife: So as most of you know, I am in my thirties but somehow fall into that "age 45-100" category when the subject of TV comes up. Matlock? Yes, please. Murder She Wrote? Yes. Mentalist? Every episode. Law and Order? Well, yes until they started pushing that darn liberal agenda down my throat! (shakes fists to Heavens) See what I mean?

I'm really losing my taste for Big Love. It used to be fun to tune in and see what those wacky Principle Livers were up to, but it's gotten too hard to believe. And they just drop plots or laugh off last week's cliffhanger like it was nothing (Roman's hat, anyone?) Nicki is like a soap opera villain--she'll be 72 and still making with the shifty eyes and no one's just put an end to the bitch yet...

Yeah Big Love gets to be so so good and then it just falls apart. I keep watching though! Last season was so good and this year's a little all over the place. I love some of the actors though. Mary Kay Place as Nicki's mom is priceless in every scene. I heard that this show only has eight episodes this year, which doesn't really show a lot of faith on the network's part. Is it moving out?

I saw the first episode of Spartacus, and it really made me wish Rome was still on TV. Still, aside from The Tudors, it's a viewers best option for a historically accurate orgy today. If you liked 300 but wish it hadn't made you think so much, then this is the show for you.
Big Love's been really sketchy for me so far this season. I don't like they took away the old credits, think Bill running for Congress is dumb, but am very excited to see just how much Teenie can bulk up this season. Mary Kay Place telling Nicky her father was dead was awesome though. "No, I need to make you a BLT!" I didn't know this season was only going to be eight episodes. Are they maybe splitting it up like they did Entourage last season? Because for the life of me, I don't know what would take this show's place if it dropped out of the lineup.

So this "About Last Night" thing is just you guys' way of apologizing for being too frickin' lazy to write actual recaps?
Maybe if you spent less time watching tv, you'd have more to time to... oh.
Sorry. My bad.
