The TV Talk Podcast: So You Think You Can Dance Edition is back! Kath and Dan break down the Top 7 Couples, their performances, the Judges comments, the outfits and whether or not some of these Judges are bangin’...
Ahh, another week, another wonderful episode of “True Blood.” Before we get started, a quick reminder that if you want to catch up on the season or get started if you haven’t yet, HBO will be showing the first three episodes of the second season next week in lieu of a new episode. So,
Happy Monday! It’s another gorgeous sunny day here in Boston. I can’t get over just how much sun we’ve had this June. I’ve hardly been able to take my sunglasses off. [/sarcasm] The rain isn’t the only reason for the doom and gloom I’m feeling...
Despite the bizarre behavior and controversy…he was perhaps the single most important musical influence of my generation. I’m going to leave the tributes to others. For me, I’ll just share some special Michael Jackson mo
I really have no idea what to expect from tonight’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE results show. With the passing of Michael Jackson just hours ago, I have to assume that some time will be spent dedicated to a man who was so influential to the art of dance. But the results shows usually [..
During a practice session for their upcoming tour, the AMERICAN IDOLS proved themselves to be GLEEks. Check out their performance of “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. Adam handles the song with such ease. Scott,
Like most of the other millions of people who tuned into last night’s premiere of AMERICA’s GOT TALENT, I was waiting for the red, white and blue version of Susan Boyle to take the stage. Would there be one shining star that took us all by surprise to renew our faith in humanity? (Ok, maybe [
I’m not going to waste my time or yours by talking too much about NYC PREP. If you tuned into last night’s premiere on Bravo then you know why. It was nauseating, and let’s be honest, I’m not all that particular about the TV I watch. It’s one thing for the character
I’ve had this tune in my head all day. Jimmy Fallon you make me laug
Well lookey here. We have quite a few shows with new episodes airing tonight. It’s going to be a big night for Bravo with the Housewives Reunion and the Gossip Girl reality show. But I’m all about the return of BETTER OFF TED. A great show that I hope you’ll tune in to. Let’s gi
ABC Family keeps me on my toes. After initially skipping out on the network’s hit show, GREEK, out of fear that it would be typical ABC Family goody two-shows television, I now feel the need to watch every new show the network airs. What if one of their new shows is the next GREEK and [..
And that was that. After ten years of marriage, Jon and Kate Gosselin have opted for a divorce. And staying true to the famewhores that they both are, they waited until the afternoon of their big show to actually file the papers. Classy...
Hello, fellow Fanger Fanatics out there! Philboy here to take on my third series for GMMR, “True Blood”...
This is a cruel joke, right? It can’t possibly be Monday again, can it? Did we even have a weekend? Ugh. Not ready to go to work this morning, that much I can tell you. But alas I must. Let’s at least talk about what’s on TV tonight before I head into the office and
For one guy and one girl, there SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE experience is almost over. But who will it be going home. Welcome to SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. Tonight I’ll be live blogging the results show...
Kind of an easy breezy night of TV for me. Besides live blogging tonight’s SYTYCD results show, I don’t have much else going on. Bed before midnight? Dare I dream. Which shows will YOU be checking out tonight? Leave a comment here or send me a message via Twitter...
A few things are a guarantee tonight. Cat Deeley is going to look smokin’ hot and we are going to see some incredible talent. Sounds good to me. I’m in! Tonight the top 9 guys and the top 9 girls take the stage to wow us with their dance skills. They’re going to be working with
It’s your weekly round-up of the best in TV blogs. What were bloggers bantering about last week? Check it out for yourselves and weigh in. So, Futurama is back. Buzz wonders: Is this cause for celebration — or just puzzlement...
(Grab a few beers from the Kappa Tau fridge because you’re in for a wildly self indulgent look at last night’s season finale of GREEK.) It’s the end of the world as we know it, and despite what REM might have you believe, all is not just fine. In fact, the end of the world has
Tonight is all about the drama. And Laverne & Shirley. But mostly about the drama. TNT has two big premieres tonight - the series premiere of HAWTHORNE and the season premiere of SAVING GRACE. But it’s the drama in Franklin Lakes that I’m excited about...
Is someone having the case of the Mondays? Ok, I’ll admit it. I am. I’m a little distracted this morning. But hopefully by the time TV starts tonight all will be well with the world and I can sit back and relax and watch a few of the shows listed here. Greek | 8pm on ABC [
This past Saturday night I finished watching Season 1 of TRUE BLOOD. Upon commencement I sent out a Twitter update that said “Finally finished S1 of TRUE BLOOD. I’ll be watching S2 although I’m not hooked like others are.“ And that’s true...
In honor of Neil Patrick Harris’ birthday, it’s only fitting that Alix, the newest member of Team GMMR, pay homage to one of our favorite TV actor’s and one of his most legen…(nah there’s plenty of that coming) characters to date. I think you all now my love for all things NPH...
Whoa…there’s certainly not a shortage of TV to watch tonight. New episodes of both reality and scripted television from which to choose. I think the big news of the day is the return of TRUE BLOOD tonight on HBO. I actually just finished S1 last night so I’m ready to go. I’m not quite in lo
I triple dog dare you not to smile at this video. Craig Ferguson and his staff put together a little filler video to keep us smiling in between the ending of THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN and the start of THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON. Here they are taking on Jason Mraz’s [..
Hey SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE (and TV Talk Podcast) fans. We’ve got a brand new TV Talk Podcast with GMMR & Ducky. This week we’re talkin’ all about the impressive first week of SYTYCD as well as the sad goodbyes we had to say. Head over to our new TheTVTalkPodcast.com site to listen in.
Ask and ye shall receive. By popular demand, here is John Krasinski’s appearance on LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON. Enjoy
Tonight couldn’t come quick enough. I’ve been thinking about SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE all day! The top 20 are taking the stage for the first time in competition. Can you stand it? This is the first time we’ll be seeing some of the dancers really perform...
I don’t know if many of you stayed up late to watch LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON last night, but if you didn’t you missed one hell of a funny show. Seriously, I laughed my ass off from beginning to end. Everything just clicked really well last night. Jimmy’s two guests last night were John
The SO YOU THINK YOU DANCE sleuths are already earning their keep. Tonight the Top 10 guys and the Top 10 girls will be paired up in the first night of competition. And we’ve got the scoop on who is paired with whom, who choreographed what, and the different styles we’ll be seeing tonight...
I’ve got a big smile on my face just thinking about tonight’s TV lineup. Two hours of WIPEOUT to make me laugh. Two hours of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, which is my personal heaven. And then we’ll wrap up with night with John Krasinski of THE OFFICE chatting it up with Jimmy Fallon.
This week Team Sane ditched the Franklin Lakes drama and had a girls-only weekend in Atlantic City. Caroline, Dina and Teresa stayed at the Water Club Hotel and shopped, lounged around by the pool and dined out...
If you watched the Tonys last night on CBS then you no doubt had a wonderful time experiencing glimpses of a night out on a theater. It was a wonderful night of music and dance, despite CBS’ efforts to kill the show with horribly bad production...
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I’m a little sunburned, but I guess that means I had a great time poolside, right? Tonight feels like the kick off to summer TV. Some of the reality shows got a head start, but tonight scripted programming is back in a big way on the [..
Hey guys - A quick note from me to you. Just wanted to say thanks for your patience as of late. I know GiveMeMyRemote.com hasn’t been updating as much as usual, and things have been a little slow. I’m completely to blame. I could throw a million excuses at you, but I’ll just say that
Tonight the second to last episode of PUSHING DAISIES airs on ABC. I’ve said my goodbyes but I’m still not emotionally ready for next week’s series finale. Are you? Here’s a sneak peek at tonight’s episode! Enjoy! And let me know what you think after you’ve watched the episode...
Just when you were really starting to miss scripted TV…it’s back! Tonight three summer series are kicking off. BURN NOTICE is already a favorite of many, but will new shows THE LISTENER and ROYAL PAINS be? Maybe. Tonight’s highlight for me will be finding out who made the Top 20 on SYTYCD...
Vegas, baby, Vegas! The top dancers from all six cities have descended upon Vegas to work their asses off in an attempt to earn one of the Top 20 spots in this season of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. One of the dancers who took the stage tonight will be named America’s Favorite [..
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in some time. Pop culture blog, Serious Lunch, posted photos of the backdrop on Conan O’Brien’s new Tonight Show set. It seems the set designer is a huge Super Mario Brothers fan. Check out the similarities. This can’t possibly be a coincidence...
Happy Tuesday my fellow TV luvahs! Are you missing your regular TV shows as much as I am? Geesh, can’t we just skip over the summer and get to September already?! (Hold that thought…I think I might need to think that one through again)...
The battle lines are being drawn and the ladies are picking teams. In one corner we have Danielle and Jacqueline and in the other corner we have Dina, Caroline and recent addition - Teresa...
Did you guys watch MENTAL on Fox last night? Are you digging it yet? I so wanted to like this new episode. But I’m not in love yet. I find that so far, what the show lacks is subtlety. The dialogue and characterizations are so forced, it’s uncomfortable to watch sometimes. So that’s where I
Wowza! Tonight’s TV lineup is bleak. When ACCORDING TO JIM is one of the few shows with new episodes you know it’s got to be June. So sad. How about we skip right over the barren prime time schedule and go right into late night? Here’s just a few of the guests hanging on the late
Navigating the waters of late night television is a monumental task. The iconic performers who have sustained us through countless evenings hover in rarified air. Johnny Carson, David Letterman, and Jay Leno are not simply recognizable names...
I know I shouldn’t be watching JON & KATE PLUS 8. I’m contributing to the downfall of their family. If we weren’t watching then maybe the cameras would go away and those kids would grow up in peace. But alas, I’m hooked. Last night’s episode was a little less awkward and painful than
Reports coming from those attending the MTV movie awards say that the altercation between Sacha Baron Cohen’s alter ego, Bruno, and Eminem was indeed real. Some say that Marshall Mathers was indeed pissed and really did storm out of the theater. I’m not sure I believe it...
June?! When did it become June? Ok, technically I guess it was this morning at midnight, but still…I can’t believe it. Maybe it’s the lack of good weather here on the East Coast. Bring on the summer! I hope you all had a good weekend. Well rested and ready to head back to work? No…
Sometimes my life doesn’t suck. Last night I attended the Boston premiere of “Away We Go“, the new indie romantic-comedy directed by Sam Mendes and starring John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph...
Talk about summer reality TV. Tonight begins the eight-part series EXPEDITION: AFRICA on The History Channel. Real-life explorers treak almost 1,000 miles through the most dangerour terrain in Africa on a quest to retrace the steps of another famous expedition...
Time to cancel plans, or at the very least set those DVRs. Tonight night at 10pm the first of the final three episodes of PUSHING DAISIES airs on ABC. If you haven’t already seen “Window Dressed to Kill” you’re in for such a treat. There’s so much to love. I think by all you all
ThePieMaker.com (also known as me and Ducky) was invited to the L.A. screening of the final three episodes of PUSHING DAISIES back in January. Ducky wasn’t able to join me, but I ventured out to L.A. for a fabulous weekend with the DAISIES crew...
I may not be particular thrilled that Jay Leno will be taking over the 10pm time slot 5 nights a week come this Fall, but I do recognize that he will be moving on from the most popular talk show that ever was. I’d be remiss if I didn’t wish Jay well. So good [
I know it’s a bit early in the summer to make this kind of declaration, but I think I’ve found the best new show you’re going to watch all summer. NURSE JACKIE doesn’t premiere on Showtime until June 8th but you can get an early look at the first episode in its entirety rig
You have to love The Shankman. Done and done.
This was a Real Housewives’ first. More than half of this week’s episode was focused on the kids. A couple more weeks like this and the NJ season might qualify as a let down. It doesn’t mean good things for my recaps either. How am I going to cultivate solid
I know the summer schedule can be filled with filler reality TV, but in the words of Randy Jackson “we’ve got ourselves a hot one tonight!” Not only do we have two hours of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE auditions, but it’s also the season premiere of WIPEOUT. If only the two shows weren
Last night Fox premiered it’s new summer drama, MENTAL. The show received mixed at best reviews, but I liked it. Pilots are always WAY too heavy handed in characterization, and shows like this are always worth a couple of episodes, if for no other reason than to let momentum build...
I feel icky. This afternoon I got sucked into a Jon & Kate Plus 8 marathon on TLC. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t caught up in the recent tabloid exploits and accusations. But that doesn’t mean I have to feel good about it. After watching the last few episodes of last season
Nothing like a four-day work week! I hope you all had a nice long weekend (well, at least those of you in the U.S.). For me, it was nice to take a little break from GMMR and spend some QT with some friends. Today it’s back the to the grind. There’s not a ton of new [
Your new AMERICAN IDOL Kris Allen hasn’t always shown himself to be overly verbose, but he certainly held his own against Jay Leno on The Tonight Show...
As I head out for the long weekend, I thought I would leave you with the show that was the highlight of my week. If you missed GLEE the first time around or perhaps just want to watch it over and over (and over) again, here it is. Enjoy.
The first full day of a long weekend. Excuse me while I become a Woo girl for a moment…WOOO!! No. Work. Till. Tuesday!! I’m heading out this afternoon to go to the Cape for the night with some friends, and tomorrow I have a few BBQs to attend. I know GMMR can be light [
Talk about an over bloated night of TV. Seriously, a little out of control. There’s 2 hours of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, 2 hours of EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION, 3 hours of SURVIVOR, 2 hours of an SNL special. Geez...
Will Ferrell was back as JEOPARDY host Alex Trebek in SNL’s version of “Celebrity Jeopardy”. The contestants included Kathie Lee Gifford (Kristin Wiig), Tom Hanks (as himself), Sean Connery (Darryl Hammond) and a special appearance by Burt Reynolds (Norm McDonald). As always, funny
SNL alum Will Ferrell took to the main stage last night as host of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’s season finale. But Will wasn’t the only alum to show up in Studio 8H. SNL favorites Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph and Norm McDonald also made cameo appearances much to my delight...
A big congrats to Philboy who is graduating this week!!! So, I’m graduating college this week and moving out of my temporary home for four years. Therefore, this week’s review is going to be short, unfortunately. But, a couple of comments on this week and the big question for you all...
Hey GMMRers, please extend a warm welcome to the newest member of Team GMMR, my friend Amy. Amy will be giving us the scoop each week on THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY. As you know, I haven’t really been watching THE REAL HOUSEWIVES sagas but I know many of you are. I’m going [
The night I’ve been dreading. Tonight are the season finales of my favorite Thursday night shows. Say it ain’t so. Can’t they just leave one by one over the course of a few weeks? Do they have to all disappear on the same night? I’m not a band air ripper. There’s nothing we can do
I took a nice break from TV and blogging this weekend to spend time with my family down in CT. The penalty being I’m going to have a lot of shows to catch up on this week. I’m actually really looking forward to seeing the finale of DOLLHOUSE. I’ve managed to avoid spoilers thus far. Sunday
First he was schilling for omelettes. Then he was raising money for the homeless down in Homelessville. But now making sure that everyone knows where to get the best plastic surgery in town. So come one, come all, and bring it on down to Plasticville.
Justin Timberlake doesn’t disappoint. Maybe the key to making SNL good again is to have JT on ever week. Ok, maybe not. But still, it’s always a good time when he’s on. One of the best moments from last night was the SNL Digital Short sequel to “Dick in a Box”. This time around it’s
First of all, a big shout out to everyone who participated in GMMR’s first ever Live BONES Chat on Thursday night. It was a great time! You can check out a replay of our chat here. But after watching the episode, there is still a lot to say, so let’s get it on! THE CASE: Sometimes I think [
Shhh…we are being very quiet. So quiet you might not even hear us updating GMMR today. Yes, things may be a little quiet around here until later tonight. I’m in Connecticut today for my niece Emma’s “special person” day at school. How adorable is that...
First off, please forgive me for not recapping last week’s really interesting episode “The Rapture” – things were really hairy at my office and I was working crazy hours and totally exhausted...
