POSTS TAGGED: TV

I Love Money

This week on I Love Money, we find out what happened on that suspenseful cliffhanger! You know, the one that was spoiled instantly if you watched VH1 at all during the week? Yeah! I’m all aflutter!


Survivor

Hey everyone. It’s time for Survivor again! After an excellent season of Big Brother this summer, I won’t be using this episode to wash the reality taste out of my mouth, as I’ve become so used to doing after these long, dry summers. I’ve also never been happier to have my HD television, although in [...]


Heroes

Clearly, ‘Gasmii, I couldn’t stay away. I’m back. Sylar’s back, and hopefully you’re back at your work computer, snacking on some Twinkies or Pringles and pretending you care about unlocking more Excel spreadsheet functionality when you’re actually reading this. Because Tim Kring decided to doubleteam me with back-to-back hourlong episodes for his premiere-a-palooza, you’ll have [...]


Ultimate Fighter

I just got the WORST manicure in the history of the world and I’m pissed, so I’m more than ready to watch eight back-to-back bitch smacking, low down, hair pulling, face scratching, genital kneeing “fights”. Seriously… Do… Not… Fuck… with my nails, hair, clothes, or accessories. Incompetent manicurists and incompetent “contendahs” should both be locked [...]


Dancing w/ The Stars

Tonight on Dancing With the Stars, we learn that America hates gay blind people and loves eighty two year old sluts! God bless us! This is a pic of me and my friend/DWTS partner KrankMills. Guess which one’s which!


House

Let’s get right to it, huh? I thought last week was sort of an average episode, the typical “name that disease” formula. This show can certainly do better. Maybe this week? We open on two women playing tennis. The sweat and hair are flying but I don’t hear any squealing or grunting. I thought that [...]


Gossip Girl

This week on Gossip Girl, the crew returns to school, and even with minimal Blair-Chuck interaction, we have the best episode of the season thus far! “You know, I’m getting really sick of how strict the dresscode is here, Dan.”


Prison Break

Made you look! Our good friend mamabird commented a couple of weeks ago that this show was getting very Burn Noticey, and it totally is. I love Burn Notice because it’s got that awesome breezy smirky 80s vibe going; Michael Weston is Magnum PI with McGyvery skills and a touch of Mr. Wizard (“Hey kids! [...]


Project Runway

This week on Project Runway, Kenley’s an a hole. Sorry was that a spoiler? Pointy heads, frizzy hair and under eye bags are in and hot skinny blondes are out. Project Runway for President!


Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency

Another week of Janis Dickinson, another mystery as to how Kehoe exists…. This shoot features Timberlands and old Newspapers.


Shear Genius

When I was still a practicing Catholic (I say “practicing” because I never got really good at it… you know, the whole “I-go-to-church-on-Sundays-so-that-gives-me-carté-blanche-to-be-a-raging-dickwad-towards-the-rest-of-humanity-the-other-six-days-of-the-week” thing) my little sister and I co-owned a concession stand at the Bingo games on Sunday Night at Our Lady Of Perpetual Help… …except we always called it “Our Lady Of Perpetual [...]


Dancing w/ The Stars

Oh it feels good to be back at the ‘gasm. Thank you to Flipit for thinking of me and bringing me back on board and sharing the DWTS duties with me, because as he said to me, “OMG three two hour nights in a row!?!?!?!?!” Yeah. Yeeeeaaaaaah. The episode starts with the usual fanfare, live [...]


The Hills

“If I tell you, do you promise not to tell?” Welcome, fellow haters! This week’s zany, WTF-filled episode posed an existential query to us all: Can “The Hills” exist without Lauren Conrad? (That’s like asking if the earth could survive without a vaguely boring, overly blow-dried sun to rotate around.) It also taught us a [...]


America's Next Top Model

On this week’s ANTM, we get all the usual makeover goodness (and hideousness), plus a bonus performance! Nigel’s reluctant understudy


Making the Band

First of all, I would like to apologize for the lateness of this week’s Making the Band recap. In a tragic turn of unexpected events, my two month old MacBook totally crapped out, leaving me MacLess for four days and counting. Don’t worry, I’ve sent letters of complaint directly to Justin Long. Meanwhile, our favorite [...]


Kitchen Nightmares

This week on a “very special” Kitchen Nightmares, G-Ram finds himself playing the multiple roles of tv personality, chef, and family therapist. We hope this involves a lot of shirt-changes. Sigh. I really need to renegotiate my contract. A family torn asunder, the very first documented “authentic Italian” potato skins, and the softer side of [...]


The Challenge

This week on The Island, Dave suggests ranch is something more than just a flavor, Bananas shows us his rotten side, and I develop a small crush on Abram. I know! I’m as shocked as you are!! Really?


Awards Shows

Another year, another Emmys, and another 3+ hours of my life I’ll never get back… Can you feel the excitement?


Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency

Let’s hop back aboard USS Crazy, shall we? And who’s the captain? Of course, our friendly octogenarian zombie, Janice Dickinson. Why, might you ask, am I not the Captain? Well, I gave it up after I headed a little voyage called the Spanish Armada. Grew out of it, you know? Lacked enjoyment. Yeah, I’m old. [...]


Gossip Girl

Well guys, since it’s already Sunday night and there’s a new episode on tomorrow night, this week’s extremely late Gossip Girl recap’s going to be dedicated to Hazel — it’s a midget recap. Blair needs to really reconsider her “O” face.


I Love Money

This week on I Love Money, we start seeing a damn lot of ads for Rock of Love Girls: Charm School 2. I’m as excited about this show as anyone ever could be, but they skanked the girls up really hard for the opening photoshoot. I mean, Heather, really? Really? One of my beloved commenters, [...]


Ultimate Fighter

Hey Gasmii, Welcome to Ultimate Fighter, the ultimate in crazy bitch slapping reality shows. And when I say crazy I don’t mean talking to yourself on the bus kind of crazy. I mean stabbing people with screwdrivers because you don’t like their pet gerbil kind of crazy, and then keeping the gerbil in your freezer, [...]


Top Design

Remember back in the late 90′s when ABC held their “Viva Las Vegas” night, and there was a massive crossover with all their hit shows of the time, between “Coach” and “Ellen” and “Grace Under Fire” and “The Drew Carey Show”? Over the course of two hours you got to see separate episodes of all [...]


90210

Hello again, Gasmi. We’re back with episode 4 of 90210! This week, we are treated to some more Silver and Dixon, Naomi and Ethan, Ty and Annie, and a whole lot of outfit changes. Plus, the father of Kelly’s son is revealed once and for all! Find out who knocked her up and left the [...]


House

***Note from the Editor: Gasmii, you did us right by rocking the vote in this Fall’s Auditiongasm! Please give it up for your newest recapper, Copyhacker!!! Welcome to season 5 of CSI:ER House! Before we get rolling, I’d like to note that I’m no relation to the late great copygodd, whose House recaps of seasons [...]


Project Runway

This week on Project Runway, Mrs. Peacock killed someone in the dining room with a revolver and Kenley acted like a total asshole.


Prison Break

Part of the fun with Prison Break is that you’re not meant to take it all that seriously, and yet it gives me more heartburn than anything else on television. Except maybe the news. Or anything that contains the words “Heidi” or “Spencer.” The point is, damn, people! More corpses this week, and more close [...]


Shear Genius

A good friend of mine who is a music composer (and his boyfriend, who is an animator) have been at the New York Television Festival this week… I got a text message from him on Saturday that said “Girl, I am fifteen feet away from Tabatha Coffey… THE one!” I immediately texted him back threatening [...]


Big Brother

Tonight, on the last night of the best season of Big Brother in a loooong time, Renny wins a new wig!


The Hills

Welcome, everyone, to another fun-filled half-hour of uncomfortable reaction shots, listless wealth, and badly overdubbed audio, all presided over by the Queen of Meh herself, Ms. Lauren Conrad (‘n’ Friends!). Last week ended with a tear-filled reunion, and tonight will bring the return Pigpen’s douchiness (Hint: it was hiding under his goatee). Naturally, these people [...]


Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency

Oh, how these models get disrupted by Kehoe! And, Janice is a self-proclaimed Germiphobe. Kentucky Denim goes better than I thought, meaning Kehoe gets his ass kicked by Dominic. And, people like Martin as a model, even though he’s hard of hearing and has a hunky interpreter. Traci moves into the house because Janice thinks she’s fat, and Hazuki gets her hair chopped off while Crystal looks on in pride (because she got a haircut, once, too). Xian makes a big ‘ol meal and Polina gets her teeth fixed. Kehoe gets kicked out. Lots is always happening here in the Model Mansion.


Kitchen Nightmares

Hello, Gasmii, and welcome to the first real episode of season two of Kitchen Nightmares! In this episode, we are treated to the best of Long Island: a restaurant named after the owner’s mustache, turtleneck sweaters that haven’t been manufactured since 1987, a lady-mullet, and for no apparent reason, Dee Snider. Will Guest Star for [...]


VH1

This week on I Want to Work for Diddy, Boris loses his title as the show’s sole bigot, Mike’s an idiot savant with the ladies, and we learn why the morbidly obese gain the weight. “Gah… blonde…. boobies…” Doing our country proud, boys.


The Challenge

Picture it: Somewhere off the coast of Panama. Actually, that’s not true. It’s not just anywhere. It’s in Bocas del Toro, or “the mouths of the bull”. Because apparently bulls have two mouths now. But that’s not all that’s different. This time times are tough. People are washing up on shore. Rachel has no friends. [...]


Top Design

In my tremendously exciting and stimulating day job as a Medicare D Claims Analyst / Adjuster (*snort*.. my job title has the word “anal” in it…) I am often forced to tackle projects with a “teammate” or “partner”. Sometimes this pairing is super-simpatico and the two of us spend our planning sessions eating Chex Mix [...]


Million Dollar Listing

This week on Million Dollar Listing: Chad and Trust Fund fight like 7th grade girls. Madison tries to sell some land. Chad finds a house for a family friend and his mom creeps me out. Trust Fund spends time with granny and attempts to make the biggest sale of his life. In the end, all [...]


Prison Break

Advice for Linc’s stunt double: Demand a bonus every time they hit you with a car. So hey, sorry about missing the first week of school, how tacky is that? A hurricane blew out my electricity for a week, you see, so my circumstances were totally extenuating. [Update: the posting of this recap was delayed [...]


America's Next Top Model

In this week’s episode of ANTM, there’s a lot of bickering and bitching, a lot of people sticking their noses where they don’t belong, and a lot of accusations fly about everything from racism to fake tatas. It’s all in a day’s work! “I do not get paid nearly enough.”


90210

Welcome back kids for another exciting installment of 90210! Episode 3 brings us lots of new goodies, including; countless TERRIBLE Naomi faces, more Ethan being adorable, Ty being adorable but I still like Ethan better, Debbie wishing her Beverly Hills family was more like Full House, and the glorious return of the devil (aka Kelly’s [...]


Date My Ex

“How many copies do you think my album will sell?” Tonight on Date My Ex… we have arrived! We have reached the end of this ludicrous journey and have only one more hour until we know all! It’s been a long week of nail biting, pacing, foot tapping, and tears, but at last it’s Monday [...]
