Last Wednesday, Casey James was predictably sent home, Perez Hilton unpredictably pushed something called Travis Garland, and perhaps predictably Hilton showed that while he's really good at celebrity gossip he's not that good at judging talent or Trump-style hyperbole. If you missed it, let's just »»
This week the Final Four get to sing movie songs. There are tons of songs to actually choose from given this theme - unfortunately I'm guessing that half of their approved list consists of Diane Warren or Randy Newman songs. And actually, it's probably a good thing that Aaron was eliminated last w »»
Last Wednesday was a bit of a shocker as Shakira did not wear anything that showed off her butt. Also, Siobhan was given the boot in another surprise. Since the girl can wail, I'm gonna guess that a producer that can guide her in the right direction can make her into a star. Because this: probab »»
So here's where things stand for Chuck, according to TV By the Numbers. Chances are that the final 6 episodes will need to be above the 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic (they got a 2.1 last night) to survive another season. NBC's in last place, so cancelling the show won't be an issue for them, »»
In what can only be classified as a TNA Wrestling moment, NBC lets us know what critics are saying about Celebrity Apprentice. AT THE START OF THE SHOW. What is the point of telling us this when we're already watching? Maybe you should let people that are watching, say, Law and Order know this so »»
The trend of doing a task to win money continues as the teams are given the project of creating a 30 second ad and a 10 second "viral video" for Right Guard. Curtis and Holly became the project managers, and the task turned out to be 4 on 4.5 as Sharon sounded like she was going to cough out a lung »»
Overnights note that Chuck did a 2.1 - the same as last week. But what was bad last week (because Chuck was up against repeats) is good this week because the West Coast feed was up against the last part of the Duke/Butler game. Yes, I did watch that and yes, I was in a "not just for entertainment »»
Wednesday's episode was, actually, kinda eventful. None of thte Bottom 3 were going to win, and (un)luckily for Paige she will not waste her summer break singing and dancing, but rather prepping for the 2010-11 school year. But this was not the eventful part. No, what was good here was that Simon »»
Chuck is a precarious position right now. You can make excuses about Daylight Saving Time, Dancing With the Stars, or Steve Austin appearing on Raw, but the fact of the matter is, a 1.9 rating is not going to save this show, even when you consider that NBC has very few viable shows. A sandwich cam »»
Lots of fun during the results show as I heard Lilly Scott cut a promo on the Idol voters, essentially calling them idiots. And while I do think that they were silly getting rid of her, the truth is that since it is at it's core a popularity contest, so really, the voters did not get things wrong. »»
I just want to start by saying that I realize that NBC's schedule is thin but two hours is still way too long for a reality show such as The Apprentice. The show was structured similar to what I've heard NBC's Olympic coverage was like - 2 minutes of content, a 30 second teaser, and 2 minutes of co »»
Just wanted to get the word out to people that Wizard World Toronto is just around the corner, and of interest to Pulse TV fans is that our very own Murtz Jaffer will be there with several stars from various reality shows, including Survivor: Samoa winner Natalie and Jonny Fairplay. You can find mo »»
Not much to say. I'm running late due to dinner with the in-laws last night, so here's what I thought of the singers. Crystal Bowersox, "Long As I Can See the Light" (Creedence Clearwater Revival) Bottom line here is that Crystal performed, so she was likely getting a free pass this week regardles »»
This review is dedicated to my grandfather who passed away over the weekend. OK, so we've completed the Hollywood round and determined the Top 24. We're going back to the "Pop Hits" well to give the singers as much of a choice as possible to make the final stage. As we've seen time and time again »»
Thus far, Hollywood week has been about the same as it has always been - fairly brutal, but that may just be the perception brought on by slick editing. Since the initial auditions don't seem geared to fill a quota, you never know how many people are going to show up on Day One. After that though, »»
Final three time, and for the last few weeks the judges have been begging the contestants to bring it. But on this night, only one contestant ensured that it was broughten and one would hope that he makes it to the finals. As for the other two, well, one should go home, and one may go home if las »»
So I've missed the last couple of weeks, and it was for good reason - my personal job search has proven successful, as I've found new employment and start work this week. But a side effect of this was that I was forced to miss a few recaps. Regardless, things can best be summarized as such - Sharo »»
This week's bizzare singing clip is the fault of George Lopez - a duet between Lin Yu Chun (the Taiwanese singing kid) and William Shatner (potentially the next Governor-General of Canada), singing Bonnie Tyler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_zYD3aekbk I don't recall exactly when Shatner became a »»
Last week I somehow forgot to present to you perhaps the best cover of "A Little Less Conversation" ever. There is singing. There is dancing. There is a drum solo. There is one punch ice breaking. And there is Dolph Lundgren: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMDXLrTs6Lo Sorry Lee, your performanc »»
Last week was a weird one, as Michael Lynche ended up with the lowest number of votes and the judges got to use the Save as was intended to be used. I'm not saying that Matt Giraud was undeserving of getting the Save, but I doubt they would have used the Save had it not been it's debut season. It »»
I just wanted to comment on something that Joe mentioned in his review of the show. He noted that the contestants had a catalogue of 122 selections to choose from (note that there is a bit of sarcasm from Joe there), and that Simon should know better. The truth is, I don't think Simon actually kno »»
I'm just going to say this - the episode title makes no sense in the two contexts I can think of. The first would obviously be Chuck vs. Shaw in the attempt to win Sarah's heart, but it never really comes down to a Chuck vs. Shaw confrontation - more of a Chuck trying to win over Sarah simply by be »»
Personal note: I'm hoping to recap The X-Factor for you, the intrepid Pulse TV reader, in the fall, however my wife and I are expecting our second child in September, and that will probably play havoc with little things such as watching television (which in the fall usually consists of football, Ama »»
This episode's task featured longtime Apprentice sponsor Kodak, as Kodak once again needed a new promotion. Very fortunate that this always seems to happen during the taping of The Apprentice. So the task involved teams promoting Kodak's products in a storefront setting, using their celebrity stat »»
So this episode is something of an origin episode, as we learn more about Casey than we ever have - and probably more than we truly need to. The essence of the story is that Casey was originally an ordinary soldier who got recruited into a Black Ops unit by Colonel Keller (played by Robert Patrick, »»
Part of the fun of having 8 singers in one hour is that we get no "personal time", Ryan desperately trying to manage the time and the judges doing their best to screw that up for Ryan. But the incredible part of Wednesday night was that no singer was outright horrible. At the same time, I felt tha »»
After breaking up with Hannah and seeing Sarah kissing Shaw, Chuck has lost his mojo, so to speak, and can't flash. So Shaw makes the decision to leave Chuck behind while he, Sarah and Casey go to track down a Ring agent looking to turn one of their own against them. Unfortunately, they've targete »»
OK, so Tyler and his Jim Morrison look are surprisingly gone. Guess people don't like 70s throwbacks or something? Joe Munoz was also eliminated, possibly because noone remembers what exactly he sang or how he sang it. At the end of the day it may not really matter, because while I had pegged Tyl »»
So, funny story. I had Tuesday's show written up for posting today (Wednesday), and saved on my work laptop. So naturally, I was future endeavoured this morning. I'm not bitter about being made redundant (for reasons that will surface in the Ep9-13 recap) but I have to say, cutting a guy when two »»
So it's time once again to watch crappy auditions, good performances, strange comments and crown the 2010 American Idol. Obviously, it's a bit too early to say who the winner will be, but before we even start watching the audition shows we've got some things to address, so let's get started. Paula »»
