If you’ve never watched GREEK, I feel like there might actually be something wrong with the chemical make up of your brain. It’s a smart, witty and hilarious show that needs your attention.
I’ve been one of the lucky ones that has been on the GREEK train since the beginning (almost) – I came in 7 episodes after it began and quickly fell in love with all those miscreants at Cyprus-Rhodes University.
If you’re thinking, “Oh I don’t like frats or sororities and I’m not really a fan of drinking” then welcome to my world! I went into the show very wary and expecting to hate almost everyone but hell if I didn’t have the opposite reaction!
There’s something for everyone on GREEK. There are the hot sorority girls, the hot sorority boys, the geeks, the nerds, the bitch, the jock, the class clown, the requisite rich girl, and even a handful of gays! That’s right… GAYS!
GREEK has done a great job at breaking stereotypes and representing diversity both as a show and as a college experience. While Rebecca Logan started off as just a spoiled rich bitch, she’s turned into of the most interesting and complex characters on the show. Calvin Owens was a star athlete every frat wanted who ended up being gay and it never really mattered. Casey Cartwright has gone from being the Elle Woods-lite sorority leader to an ambitious woman with sites on a big career. Then there’s Rusty and the Kappa Tau’s. They’re a rag-tag group of near flunkies that live to spite the richy rich frat boys of Omega Chi.
Tonight brings GREEK back for a new season and new school year. The premiere made me happy and pissed me off at the same time. Don’t get me wrong – I loved every second of it but some of these kids just drive me batty!
Rusty, Dale and Calvin are no longer the new kids on the block and big changes are in store. There’s requited love, new found romance, lying and even some cheating in store for the kids at CRU so you do not want to miss how it all plays out.

I barely ever write about TRUE BLOOD because we talk about it so much on the podcast but with the finale just around the corner, I figured… why not?
Hoyt, Jessica and Mama Fortenberry:
Obviously there had to be a kink in the Jessica/Hoyt relationship and Jess sinking her fangs into a possessed, lippy, loud mouthed Mama Fortenberry was the straw that broke Hoyt’s back.
Hoyt leaves with his Mama but later he probably wished Jess did the deed. Miss Fortenberry reveals that Hoyt’s Daddy was a raging alcoholic, a possible queer and killed himself. Poor Hoyt, all this time he thought he was killed protecting the family from a burglar. Christ on a cracker…
The Queen, Bill and More: Rachel Evan Wood makes her debut as the Queen, a trucker mouthed Southerner with a penchant for pure blood and a knowledge base that will help ole Billy boy with their whole “Maryann” issue.
Seems that while Maryann isn’t indestructible, because she firmly believes she is immortal, she’s been growing stronger and with every fuck, kill and possession she brings herself closer to the divine. Bottom line, she’s not human any longer and there’s no stopping her… sorta.
After holding Bill hostage with a Chorus Line of lovelies and a game of Yahtzee, she gives up that the Maenad ironically seek Death. The only way to stop them is to rise Dionysus – or trick them into thinking Dionysus has risen (as Gods never truly present themselves) so that Maryann will give herself over to him and in that moment, its the only time you could kill her. The issue – Maryann can’t offer herself over until she finds a suitable supernatural vessel from which “he” can rise. Vamps won’t due as the don’t have beating hearts but shape-shifters and werewolves are fine… as is I suspect Sookie!
How hilarious was it when Eric arrives and the Queen tells Bill that he and Eric should just fuck to get it over with. HILARIOUS and YES PLEASE!
Another carcast, another rainstorm and another podcast over an hour! This week Kath and Dan kick off the podcast talking about TOP CHEF LAS VEGAS. From foodies to fangbangers, its off to Bon Temps and a little TRUE BLOOD.
BIG BROTHER 11 kicked another psychotic houseguest out while we dodged planes landing on the highway.
We talked the NURSE JACKIE finale and MAD MEN’s latest episode before catching up on old shows. From GOSSIP GIRL to DOLLHOUSE to SUPERNATURAL we talk the good, bad and tragic about the shows we’re catching up on this summer.
It’s our last podcast before our Fall TV Previews so do not miss out on all the summer fun.
On September 10th we will witness Lucifer rise up and square off with Sam and Dean Winchester (allegedly)… I for one cannot wait to have those boys back in my life and I’m sure you feel the same. So to wet your appetite for destruction, here are a few episode promo pics from “Sympathy for the Devil”, SUPERNATURAL’s Season 5 premiere!
Oh and the girl in the photo… guess who she’s an incarnation of? She’s not a pixie little bitch any longer kids… meet your new Meg (played by Rachel Miner – that’s right Macaulay Culkin’s ex-wife)!
Episode Summary: APOCALYPSE NOW — Picking up where the finale left off, Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) watch as the Devil (guest star Mark Pellegrino, “Lost”) emerges from Hell. The brothers and Bobby (Jim Beaver) deal with the aftermath of Lucifer rising and the stunning news from Chuck the Prophet (guest star Rob Benedict) that Castiel (Misha Collins) was blown to bits by the archangels. Robert Singer directed the episode written by Eric Kripke.
This has to be my favorite SUPERNATURAL Season 5 promo video. I love a good subliminal message, especially one that has hot boys, bleeding cribs and Lucifer embedded in it.
Tonight is the finale to one of my favorite summer shows, NURSE JACKIE! It has been a very intense season for Jacks and the crew at All Saints but honestly, haven’t you fucking loved every second of it?
NURSE JACKIE brought the hotness monster that is Peter Facinelli back into our lives; PUSHING DAISIES’ Swoozie Kurtz back to TV as a lesbian Mom; two more gays (MoMo and Thor) to the summer lineup; a hottie husband (Dominic Furmosa) with a heart of gold; the stylinist doctor on TV with the sharpest tongue (Eve Best as O’Hara); and hands down my favorite new character of the summer… Zoey (Merritt Wever FTW)!
Obviously then there’s the titular character of Jacks played by the always incredible Edie Falco. Jackie’s a pill poppin’, lying, cheating, scheming and swindlin’ woman we really should hate but in reality fucking love. She’s screwed up, her morals are all over the place and she’s got bad hair but at the end of the day she’s doing what she thinks makes up for all the wrong in the world (or that she’s created) and for that you can’t help but love her.
Tonight, everything comes crashing down on Jacks and the rest of the All Saints staff so get ready to laugh and possibly cry at the season finale of NURSE JACKIE. Just so you know… it’s so good that you’ll be pissed the season’s over and that these characters are gone for another 9 months.
It’s a short podcast (carcast) this week but we’ve got a special guest, lots of caffeine in us and plenty to cover so let’s get to it!
First off we talk London hotties, car bombs, and travel tips for the unemployed. Then its on to some depressing news that will just kill ya regarding TRUE BLOOD, NURSE JACKIE and ABDC before moving on to some interview action, spoilers and more from the kick off of the GLEE Tour!
The MAD MEN Season 3 premiere was cramazing and on topic are the British Invasion, doormen, handjobs, pesky children and the state of the Draper marriage. Plus, Ducky needs your help figuring out who an actor is so pay attention and play along at home.
The bag of dicks that is the BIG BROTHER 11 house erupts this week and it makes for some great entertainment.
Tim G. thanks us for turning him onto one of our favorite shows and we preview a possible new GREEK sorority.
We’ve got some information about our upcoming FALL TV Preview Podcast(s) but we still need your help on how to talk about the plethora of shows coming at us.

We’ve also got a special segment this week that you’ll definitely want to participate in. Can you guess which TV Characters We Hated But Ended Up Loving?
Is it possible for two people to talk almost 2 hours about nothing but TV? I guess so…
In preparation for Season 5 of SUPERNATURAL, The CW wants to catch you up on all things Winchester and their hell raisin’. Its just a lil refresher… another handy dandy video of all the important Season 4 moments you need to remember moving forward. I cannot wait!
The only thing worse than watching the fictional characters on GOSSIP GIRL live out their ridonkulously lavish and adult lives is to discover there are actual humans out there that think this lifestyle is acceptable. The hideously vapid and over-privileged kids of NYC PREP are real-life GG incarnations (or so they wish) and I can’t deal with it.
It pains me to see kids this young acting the way they do. Each and every one of them deserves a nice big slap across the face (or a semi to run them down). It’s douchebaggery at its finest and I’d like to say I would never watch this show but I do. I hate myself for it in the morning but what can I say, I’m addicted.
PC has to be one of the most hated teens in America. Seriously, I think I liked Dylan Kelbold and Eric Harris more than I like this kid. He’s a mixture of Chuck Bass (GG) and Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) and about as real as those two fictional characters are. He’s the biggest attention whore reality television has produced in a long time and I love to hate the kid. Whether he’s plotting to kill one of his fag-hags for stealing his seat at Fashion Week or trying to corrupt the 15 year old Taylor, the kid acts like the devil. He’s selfish, condescending, immature and basically a total c*nt – I love it.
Then there’s the kid with the floppy hair? Sebastian or whatever his name is? He tries to act all cool and worldly but then freezes under pressure, especially when there’s a girl involved. It’s hilarious because it shows his true age and personality. Oh, and if I have to watch that hair flip another time I might scalp the kid. Seriously with that hair? It’s so gross. It’s called conditioner.
Jessie seems put together and smart most of the time but then you remember she’s friends with PC and any redeeming qualities she may have had fly out the window.
Kelli’s pointless.
Camille is kind of adorable but I’m sure if I had to spend more than 10 minutes with her a week, I’d want to knock her across the skull with a cast iron skillet as well.
Anywhoozle… tonight’s finale should prove to be an embarrassment of riches for the kid and sadly, I can’t wait!
Check out this preview clip of PC getting “upset” at Taylor (then remember he’s 18 and she’s 15… can we say jailbait much?)
Even though I stopped watching GOSSIP GIRL a couple episodes before the Season 2 finale, that doesn’t mean that I’m still not slightly obsessed and thinking about jumping back in the Upper East Side waters.
With PRIVILEGED’s Joanna Garcia being added to the mix, it’s making GOSSIP GIRL a hard habit to break.
Check out a quick sneak peek at Gossip Girl Season 3:
more Gossip Girl Season 3 previews after the jump… (more…)
Kath and Dan are back with a regular TV Talk Podcast about all things summer TV and vampire! That’s right, we’re vamp crazy so there’s plenty of talk about TRUE BLOOD, BEING HUMAN, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and more.

While it still saddens me that I missed the chance to be in the press room, inches away from Mischa Collins, I’m happy that my friends at The CW have some video to share. Check out two videos from SUPERNATURAL’s 2009 Comic-Con stint.
SUPERNATURAL premieres Thursday, September 10th on The CW!
