I’m off on another vacation… being laid off never felt so good! I don’t even want to think about how full my DVR will be when I return from St. Lucia but seeing how I don’t have a job, I’ll have plenty of time to catch up on all my shows. It’s fun spending my birthday in a different city every year. After this winter, I’m ready for some sun and sand.

Have a great week and I’ll catch you on the flip side!

Dollhouse stars Eliza Dushku as a living doll, a woman that has given up 5 years of her life to become a blank slate, a vessel where this company can imprint her with any identity, memory and skill set a client wants/needs.

From companion to assassin, these dolls (both male and female) become the ultimate human for the right price. Much like Cinderella though, when the clock strikes, it’s time for these dolls to return back to the dollhouse where their memories of their mission are downloaded and wiped. The dolls live in a surreality where massages, workouts, and lots of sleep await them until their next implant/mission then it begins all over again.

I don’t want to give away too much from tonight’s premiere but I wanted to at least give you my opinion on the show so here goes. I didn’t fall out of my seat in awe, drooling over how much I loved it. Now that doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the shit out of Dollhouse. I did.

Remember when FRINGE premiered and Kath and I chatted on the TV Talk Podcast about how it was good but didn’t knock our socks off? It’s the same scenario.

Joss Whedon, much like J.J. Abrams, has built this empire on being a cult creator and we as fans expect the world, the moon and a miracle with each new show. I fully admit that these expectations are what taints my immediate obsession with both Fringe and now Dollhouse. It’s me, it’s not you Joss.

The Dushku does a pretty good job in the role of Echo (hate hate hate that name) but at times I feel there are limitations to her depth and ability to carry some of the heavier more emotional scenes. Should I be making a judgment of her character range based on a single episode, probably not but I did… what can ya do? Now, I love me some Dushku so I’m willing to give her time to build, develop and breathe in Echo’s skin but given the amount of involvement both she and Joss had in creating the series and role, I expected more. (more…)

Tonight at 9pm over on FOX, the long awaited new series from Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dr. Horrible), DOLLHOUSE premieres!

Check out a preview that sums up tonight’s premiere and the tone of the series:

I’ve only seen a couple episodes of Showtime’s THE TUDORS but watching promos like these make me want to devour Henry the 8th. Jon’s gotten into it but for some reason, I’ve not been able to stick with it.

Does that Anne still have a head? Will she by the end of the season? How are the smokin’ hot dudes killing everyone and is the King bedding them as well? And that poster? Dirrrty! Thy Kingdom Come is correcteth…

The Tudors Season 3 premieres Sunday, April 5th at 9pm on Showtime

Everyone should tune into tonight’s episode of THE REAL WORLD: BROOKLYN to see if yours truly can be seen standing next to the newest set of fishbowlers. If you’re wondering what the frak I’m talking about, so was I until last week…

I received an email that said Braking The Cycle, the AIDS Ride I’ve been a part of for the last 4 years, will be featured in tonight’s episode which airs at 10pm on MTV.

I thought huh?

So I clicked on the link and saw the picture above and like a V8, I slapped my forehead. I knew the newest cast looked familiar but I couldn’t place them until I saw that picture. I stood right next to them at 6:30am in the parking lot of some restaurant during the opening ceremonies in Gettysburg. I remember Chet specifically because his outfit was ridiculous and I always assumed they were interns/students filming the ride for a project. Turns out those cameras were filming The Frakkin Real World. Bizarro.

JD, the gay dolphin laugher trainer from FL spoke at closing ceremonies and was only referred to as an intern, not a member of the show. Sarah and Katelynn were also interns during their time in NYC. Small world.

Word on the street is that Braking the Cycle and The Center will be featured in the episode tonight and that’s pretty fucking amazing exposure for the ride that I love and support. So check it out and come back and let me know what you think!

Like Where’s Waldo or Spot The Observer (FRINGE), let’s see if we can spot this guy!

Way to go BTC! To learn more about Braking the Cycle and The Center, click here.

Oh My Fucking Shit! This video is the fucking sonsabitches best. Here is every curse from every episode of THE SOPRANOS compiled into one 28 minute video. It’s outrageous, just leave it on in the background and you’ll think you’re having a tourettes attack.

I think the random “Sister’s C*nt” might be the funniest of them all, well after “Little lord fuck pants” and the kid telling santa to fuck off.

With a title like “Sex & Violence” SUPERNATURAL has a lot to live up to this week… It’s pretty much exactly what I want each and every episode involving Sam and Dean Winchester to be about, I’m just throwing that out there!

While this was not one of my favorite episodes this season, it did have some great moments and a couple classic zingers to keep my attention. Here are some of my thoughts from “Sex & Violence”.

Ugh, so now we’re back to where the boys were in the beginning of the season with the secret keeping, the animosity and the tension. Damn these boys, either have it out and move on or go your separate ways for a while.

I find this clip a little more than disturbing. You’ve all heard the Christian Bale/Terminator 4 freak out where he rips the Director of Photography a new asshole for walking around on set but have you seen the ridiculousness?

Conan O’Brien had Inside the Actors Studio host and thespian James Lipton give us his take on the Bale Blow Out… check it and ask yourself “what don’t you fucking understand?”

Thanks for the tip Nancy!

TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky returns with a ton of chatter about our favorite shows.

Chuck scored with a 3-D Superbowl episode, Gossip Girl sends Blair over the deep end, Heroes returns with some promise and the double punch of Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother once again make us laugh our asses off. Privileged said good bye to our boy Charlie, The Biggest Loser sent one pissed off contestant home and Fringe got prickly. Idol finally hits Hollywood week and America’s Best Dance Crew got all “It’s Britney Bitch” on us.

The Office got super-sized for the Super Bowl but did it score a home run, er… ABC falsely promotes a Grey’s/Private Practice crossover and Supernatural went back to the future. Battlestar Galactica got frakkin crazy while Friday Night Lights taught us how the other half lives. SNL scores a really hot but really random host and of course, Two Idiots Talk Lost!

As a bonus, it’s game time so get ready to play along at home.

It’s TV Talk with GMMR & Ducky #35!

Yes, finally a sneak peek at the upcoming mini-season of TORCHWOOD entitled “Children of Earth”! Lots of Capt. Jack and Ianto down and dirty goodness; Plenty of Gwen running and adorable craziness; lots of bloody bodies and stuff splattering, not to mention kids scarier than those in the corn or of the damned. I cannot wait!

Torchwood: Children of Earth premieres sometime later this year, summertime I think.

*Thanks to my boy Brian at AfterElton for the tip!

I’ve been very intrigued by AMC’s redux of the incredible late 60’s series THE PRISONER since it was announced late last year.

Finally we’re getting a sneak peek at what the series will look like, how the new actors will embody the characters we know and love from the original and I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty psyched!

AMC’s THE PRISONER will air as a 6 hour mini-series sometime in 2009 with Jesus Jim Caviezel as Six and Sir Ian McKellan as Two! I cannot wait!

On a side note: I’m still sad that co-creator and star of the original, Patrick McGoohan died before this was finished.

Hey, maybe that means this will be as big as RENT? God, I hope it’s better… I want 525,600 minutes of my life back for that piece of shit.

Amy Poehler. Rashida “Shut It ‘Shida” Jones. April 9th at 8:30pm. Bring it!
