The Bachelorette: Wow, I Kind Of See Why I Avoided This 2008-05-19 23:09:00 Tonight I started my assignment for CollegeCandy as the weekly reviewer for The Bachelorette
. I've never seen the show or The Bachelor so it was a new experience. At two-hours long, it was a draining one at that.Since my full review will be posted tomorrow, I'll just mention two things I learned about this show.It is cheesy as hell. There's repeated buzz phrases ("Love of my life," "So excited," "
My Two Cents On The Idol Finale 2008-05-20 21:07:00 For the good of the contest, music, and the remaining months of a boy's childhood, I am rooting for David Cook to win American Idol tonight.Disagree, write messages in all caps, call me tone deaf, call me stupid, say what you will. Winning this is not in the cards for him. Let him grow up, let him find a passion for music rather than a talent for it. Once he's inspired, no doubt his music will be Read more:Finale
McCain on Ellen 2008-05-23 07:42:00 John McCain
's been making his rounds on the fluffier talk shows lately. He shined on Regis And Kelly and the Daily Show but Ellen
Degeneres gave him a run for his money on her show yesterday.Finally! It's about time McCain started getting worked up and challenged again. The Dems are still feeling the heat in every direction but since he's the presumptive nominee, McCain's been kind of worry free f
Jesus Probably Gets A Kick Out Of This 2008-05-22 23:19:00 In the spirit of Flight of the Conchords, this fake Chrisitan folk group just got bumped on to the semi-finals on tonight's Last Comic Standing season premiere.They're called God's Pottery and they are pretty hilarious. I want them to go far because it's high-time a musical comedian or two got in on the LCS fun.Check out God's Pottery below. Do they have what it takes? Read more:Jesus

eduTV Guest Blog: I like When Girls Kiss Girls 2008-05-22 23:03:00 SPOILER ALERT!!Ok, I just finished catchin' my breath after what I thought was a pretty solid Grey's Anatomy. Yang sprang out of her funk (finally), Meredith was her usual dramatic self, George is retaking the intern exam, and some stupid kid jumped into a pool of cement and almost died. Whew, a fun-filled two hours and what did I decide to blog about? The end of show lip locks. Go figure.Geor Read more:Guest

Hump Day Updates 2008-05-21 22:16:00 My least favorite "chef" on Hell's Kitchen sliced off the tip of his thumb in a cooking related fiasco. Gosh that guy is a tool.Did anyone else know Kristen Davis, Charlotte of Sex and the City fame, is a recovering alcoholic? She's been sober for years apparently so those Cosmos were probably just raspberry lemonades. Chances are, she quit cold turkey after this.Tonight's American Idol results ar Read more:Hump Day

American Gladiators Kind Of Rocked Tonight 2008-05-26 23:45:00 There...I said it.I caught the first hour of American
Gladiators tonight and it was pretty fun.

They introduce a new game every week and there are some new gladiators as well.Speaking of, Read more:Tonight

Really? No It's Fine I'm Just Surprised Is All 2008-05-28 19:51:00 As of tomorrow, David Cook will own 11 spots on the Billboard Hot 100. He is the first artist ever (at least in the Nielsen Soundscan era) to debut 11 songs in the same week.Pros:Archuleta doesn't have 11 songs on the Top 100.After a rocky season, American Idol proves it can still pack a punch.Cook seems like a nice guy, he's a fun performer.Cons:We've got 100 spots to take the current pulse of po
Things Men Would Rather Do Than See the SATC Movie 2008-05-28 18:11:00 The good people over at Vulture talked to red-blooded American dudes about things they'd honestly rather do or experience as opposed to seeing the Sex And The City movie.The list includes things as benign as eating someone's booger and as ridiculous as getting attacked by one of Michael Vick's dogs. Who says men aren't over-dramatic?Check out the very funny post for yourself.You know what probably Read more:Rather
Whistling A Legacy 2008-05-27 21:42:00 If you can whistle the theme to The Andy Griffith Show or bop along to jazzy swing of the Dick Van Dyke theme then you have Earle Hagen to thank. Hagen was one of the most prolific composers for TV themes and scores in 1960s and 70s. He passed away yesterday at 88.About his prolific career and love for composing, Hagen said, " I was addicted to the ultimate narcosis in music, which is the rush you Read more:Legacy
Killing Time On The Interweb 2008-05-27 21:02:00 I've come across some amazing links the past few days. Who would I be if I didn't share these nuggets with the edubTV public? A jerk that's who.Thank you PEOPLE Magazine.com for making this bad-ass Gossip Girl vs. Golden Girls quiz. Do I feel like an idiot for getting half of them wrong? Perhaps.

It's LOST Finale Night 2008-05-29 18:18:00 I won't try to guess what's going to happen on tonight's 2-hour finale. The rest of the blogosphere, however, is a-buzz with conspiracy theories.

Rican Presidential Primary is today, and Hilary Clinton likened her campaign experience there to "..one big Puerto Rican Day Parade

The Mole Is Back! Better Than Before? 2008-06-02 22:42:00 Dare I say I don't miss Anderson Cooper. Tonight's return of The Mole was great. I was hesitant when it was announced that parts of the game would change. From the looks of it, the only thing worth mentioning is that there are a few less questions on the quiz...other than that, it's the same show I fell in love with years ago.The games are just as suspenseful and fun as I remember with an exciting
