Who Wants To Be A Super Hero?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable,
Attention all closeted Caped Crusaders! If you’ve often felt your talents were shunned, overlooked or misunderstood, then this is the show for you. This summer, legendary comic book creator, Stan Lee, will give mortal men a chance to live out their alter-ego dreams. On Who Wants To Be A Super Hero?, eleven finalists will compete over six-weeks for the opportunity to be immortalized in print (in a Stan Lee original) and on TV (in a SCI FI Channel movie). NOTE: Costumes are a pre-requisite. Super Hero is scheduled for take-off on July 26th.

Three Shows I’m Looking Forward To This Summer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, HBO, Entourage,
Yes—it’s only been about a week since the main season finales (I’m not counting the yet-to-air Apprentice finale) and I have to admit that I’m feeling a little off. With all this time on my hands, I am faced with two major questions in my life: Is there anything for me to watch this summer… and without TV, do I really have a life? If you are like me and are dreading answering the latter, I have some possible suggestions for you. While there may not a plethora of offerings to keep my summer filled, I do have a few shows that will keep a few of my nights occupied. All these shows were things that I discovered last summer, so I’m anxious to see if I can uncover a few more golden nuggets this year:

Next season Burnett and Spielberg join forces “ON THE LOT” to give aspiring filmmakers the shot of a lifetime. FOX will capture it as it happens. The next big filmmaker will be born before our eyes. Out of just 16 undiscovered talents, the finalists will film their way to Hollywood and get their work produced. Each team will create a short film from the selected genre of the week. While critiqued by a live audience, they’ll have to manage crunches, overcome financial constraints, and deal with the chaos of the filmmaking business. They’ll have the usual lineup of judges, but we the public will get a shot at them too. Will this be the next big hit or will we tire of the same old reality make-it-big format? If they don’t get it right, we the public will be ready to kick them “off the lot!”

The Apprentice: How Many Does One Man Need?
Posted by Rachel Langley Categories: Reality, NBC, Apprentice, The - Donald, Editorial,
With the Donald’s finale right around the corner the question occurred to me. How many apprentices does one man need? I realize “The Donald” heads an empire with a never ending open headcount, but seriously, how many Trumps-in-Training can one person stand? These questions began to plague my brain as I realized the theme of the show, regrettably, has begun to wear on me (though it still doesn’t stop me from tuning in each week, bowl of popcorn tableside…) This season’s finale is feeling a bit anti-climatic. Neither of the final candidates are the business equivalent of brain surgeons but it appears Sean has the charisma and the quick thinking to pull this one through with ease (and his accent doesn’t hurt either). On the other hand Lee looks like he just popped out from the business world womb. I think that one is going to need a few more years under his belt despite an impressive education. But regardless of the waning glow of the candidates, it appears the Donald will keep churning out the Trumps-in-Training until the ratings tell him to shut the machine down. And for now, I will keep watching, popcorn in hand, anxiously awaiting the June 5th live finale…

Taylor Hicks Wins American Idol 5
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Reality, Specials, FOX, American Idol, Talent,
It took a few months, but the man that Simon passed up during the auditions turned it around and made a believer out of a nation. Taylor Hicks has become your newest American Idol. In a two-hour finale that went a bit over it’s allotted time (causing me to watch the clock intently, hoping my DVR had at least caught the announcement of the winner) we saw the Idol contestants sing together, and a few of them even sang duets with the likes of Live, Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, and Meatloaf. Speaking of which, we are unsure as to who we felt did worse…Meatloaf looked like he was having a seizure, while Toni Braxton looked like she wanted to sex Taylor up, and sounded absolutely dreadful. Prince even made an appearance, performing a song on his own.
Of course, the best celebrity moment happened when Clay Aiken walked out and freaked out one of the early Idol contestants. Just golden. In the end, Taylor Hicks walked away with the American Idol title, and Katharine McPhee walked away with a well-deserved second place. It will be interesting to see if Taylor follows Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood to superstardom, or if he fades into obscurity like Ruben Studdard and Fantasia. For now, congrats Taylor. You deserve it.

American Idol 5: The Final Showdown
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features,
Drum roll, please! After endless weeks of competition, tonight came down to—as USA Today put it best—Gray vs. Anatomy. The contestants were armed with three songs tonight—two from their Idol past and a original song that may eventually be recorded by the winner. Would Taylor’s soulful style resonate with people outside the southern states and those without a touch of gray? Would Katharine’s youthful voice and pretty face be able to branch out beyond the West Coast? For the last time this season—read on!!

American Idol 5: The Final Three
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Features,
The more songs the contestants are forced to sing, the closer we must be to the end of the season. With only three contestants left—it was down to three songs each tonight. The first one selected by legendary producer Clive Davis, the second by the judges and the third song chosen by the contestants. With more opportunities to sing give them more chances to fail?

Bravo Looking For Next top Chef
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Reality, Specials, Cable, Talent, Renewals,
The popular reality show Top Chef is looking for the next great Julia Child or Emeril Legasse. (Remember Emeril? Apparently he was quite the cooking sensation before he sold out to appear in toothpaste commercials.) Bravo has ordered a second season of Top Chef, and now needs…well, a top chef.
In case you’ve missed it, Top Chef is a kinder, gentler version of Hell’s Kitchen, where chefs of all specialties compete against each other to be named the best. Producers are now auditioning contestants for the second season, and will focus their search in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Las Vegas. Have you got what it takes? Then grab your white hat and apron and go for it.
If you’re already a fan, you’ll be pleased to know that the May 17 season finale has been extended to two hours, and will feature The Sopranos sensation Lorraine Bracco. There’s also a special reunion show that will air May 10. Now that’s cooking up good television.

Tonight the Idol contestants performed two songs—a song from the year that they were born and a song from the current Billboard charts. Did appearing twice in show hurt or help their chances? Read on!

Unless you grew up in the eighties, you may not understand why this news is so wonderful. The incomparable tough-but-lovable Mr. T, he of The A-Team fame and numerous golden chains, is returning to television. TV Land, a channel dedicated to giving us the best in nostalgia television (where else can you find episodes of The Brady Bunch every day?) has unveiled an array of original programming and specials.
Among these is I Pity The Fool, named for Mr. T’s famous catch phrase, which follows the muscle-bound man as he travels across America, dispensing tough love advice to people in need. Move over, Dr. Phil. Mr. T is in town. The network has ordered six episodes so far, and we can’t wait to see them.
Which TV stars from your past do you want to see return to the small screen?
