If there’s one thing General Hospital does poorly it’s big, dramatic sweeps stunts. If there’s a second thing General Hospital does poorly it’s slow motion montages set to “dramatic” music. If there’s a third thing General Hospital does poorly it’s alternate reality dream sequences. Today’s victim: Maxie Jones. For those of you keeping score, Maxie [...]

The (alternate) life and death of Maxie and Jones

I would like to thank the Academy for only going a half hour over the alotted time

While not my favorite awards ceremony, I do love me some Oscars. (My favorite awards ceremony is the Golden Globes. It’s short, sweet, and most of the nominees and presenters are drunk out of their minds. Plus I’ve actually eaten and drank in that ballroom multiple times.) So it’s the 81st Academy Awards or if [...]
General Product Placement Hospital

Wow, I thought 90210 was bad with the gratuitous cans of Dr. Pepper but General Hospital took it a whole new level last week. I’m not begrudging a “heart healthy lifestyle” but when you have Spinelli clutching a 2 liter of V-8 like it’s his long, lost teddy bear, I may or may not want [...]
It’s Melanie’s World, we just live in it
Posted in Days of Our Lives, Shows that I would like to see on February 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »
In a time where Miley Cyrus has to show up at the Academy Awards and the words “High School Musical” and the “Jonas Brothers” have regretably infiltrated my vocabulary, the fact that Days of Our Lives now revolves around an 18 year old “temptress” doesn’t shock me, yet is still extremely disheartening. In the past, [...]
Are we in Guam yet?
Posted in Lost, Shows that I would like to see on February 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I never thought it was possible to have an utterly satisfying episode of Lost that didn’t feature Sawyer, but last night’s installment delivered the goods. I was intrigued, I was curious, I even laughed out loud. At around 9:55, I actually wished the episode was 2 hours. Yes people, I actually wanted to watch The [...]
Mamma Mia
Posted in Days of Our Lives, Things that scare me on February 16, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I delete four episodes of Days without watching them and I apparently missed the fact that Mia moved to Tokyo and landed a part in Taboo, the Boy George musical? God, sometimes I don’t know whether to laugh or cry with this show. Honestly, Mia in her “dance get-up” is the stuff nightmares are made [...]
Luke fiddled while General Hospital burned
Posted in General Hospital, Unjustified Outrage on February 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Does it bother anyone else that Luke’s children were trapped in a burning hospital and he was too busy playing playground games in jail with Toothy McOutback? And what’s with Ethan anyway? Every time he comes on screen I want to order a Bloomin’ Onion from Curbside Takout and then brush my teeth. A lot. [...]
How do you solve a problem like Melanie?
Posted in Bad Idea Jeans, Days of Our Lives on February 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
It’s really hard to be a Days of Our Lives fan these days. Even though the show only has like ten characters and time moves slower than molasses, I can’t seem to keep up with this show. Really why I should I? Veterans are made paraplegics and shipped off to Switzerland, women carry pillow babies [...]
Valentine’s Day is for girls who live in hotels and the bartenders who flirt with them
Posted in Bad Idea Jeans, New 90210 on February 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I apologize for not writing this sooner as I am sure everyone is on pins and needles for the latest happenings on 90210, or as I like to call it: “The most watercooler-worthy television show of all time”. Anyway it’s Valentine’s Day and as the kids are too young to be cynical, seem to actually [...]
Idiot Standoff
Posted in General Hospital on February 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, Sonny’s chasing Anthony around the quarantined hospital with Jason in hot pursuit. Oh and Robin, arguably the smartest character on this show, left her baby in a tree in the middle of a blizzard. Let’s be honest, I deleted Thursday’s episode because I value my brain cells, [...]
