For a first class luxury hotel, Magic City’s Miramar certainly does have a ton of death and injuries revolving around it. Granted, 1959 was far before the invention of Yelp, so you couldn’t just dash off a three star review because the blonde prostitute in the parking lot got killed…
Gavin DeGraw is gone! Rejoice!This does mean we have nobody’s stupid hat fetish to mock anymore, unless Roshon wants to take it up. But we’re still counting this as a victory for humankind.It’s Motown week on Dancing With The Stars, which means you can take solace that for one week,…
If we had to summarize the theme of this week’s episode of Magic City, it might be “the baggage of our past often impedes our ability to live in the present.” Or “even if the State Senator claims to be into European girls, give him a few Scotches and he’ll…
We had a power outage for a few hours this morning and maybe it says more about us, but we really couldn’t have cared less about the stifling heat or the fear of all of our refrigerated food going bad.No, we were far more preoccupied in getting our sweet DWTS…
Boy, things really are boiling over on Magic City! Ok, maybe not “boiling over.” But things definitely are at least at a moderate simmer.Remember that troublesome union leader in the pilot? He done went and disappeared, which we’re pretty sure is a euphemism for getting killed, but what do we…
Last week Dancing With The Stars said goodbye to Jack Wagner, and not a moment too soon.You see, it’s Rock Week on our favorite celebrity dance competition, and you don’t want some old soap star dancing to the hottest rock groups of today, do you? Not with such up and…
It’s hard to talk about Magic City without discussing its place in the shadow of Mad Men. We watched the premiere of Magic City immediately after a new episode of Mad Men, which seemed counter-productive. Like eating a steak and then realizing you have to eat a cheeseburger as well…
Last week on Dancing With The Stars, Martina Navratilova was eliminated. We had a lot of fun making jokes that Martina would be the first eliminated, but… um… yeah, that’s pretty much it. Not to say she wasn’t memorable, but we almost submitted this recap before realizing we called her…
Apparently nobody got eliminated from Dancing With The Stars last week. Yawn. What’s the point of this show if it’s not to revel in everyone’s slow but gradual elimination?Not that the first star-booting will be much of a surprise. Face it, Martina Navratilova is going to be the first one…
The dark days of Winter have come to pass. Daylight Savings Time is back in effect. Drunken revelers have invaded our city. Yes, Spring is here, which means that ABC has once again made room in its schedule, which is otherwise full of shows with the word “bitch” in the…
Gosh, were we excited for the Dancing with the Stars Grand Finale. And boy did ABC go all out for us! Instead of the usual flippant DWTS introduction, we get a very serious Explosions in the Sky-scored, grainy film-effect montage of Ricki, Rob, and J.R. We are reminded that Ricki…
And thus we reach the end of our nine-week journey with night one of the Dancing With the Stars finale. Who do we want to win? Um….. In a way Ricki Lake has already won with the recent news that she will start a new daytime show. Rob Kardashian unquestionably…
It’s Semi-Finals week here on Dancing With the Stars and we have to admit that we are sort of relieved. Because boy was this week a snoozer! There are four couples left and unfortunately they are all the least interesting couples on the show. We don’t even have Nancy Grace anymore, who…
The nights just seem to be getting longer, and we aren’t talking about Daylight Savings! As the contestants get whittled down, everyone becomes a better dancer, which makes Dancing With the Stars harder to recap because there are less things to be mean about. We just have to pray for…
So it’s finally upon us: Week Seven — the Halloween episode. But the real scares come as the horror of watching Dancing With the Stars without Chaz Bono. We all knew this day would come, but you can’t prepare for it, you know?So last night, one of the best party…
After a week absence, we our back in the saddle with this week’s Dancing With the Stars recap. Where were we last week? Our DVR messed up and didn’t record, most likely rejecting the theme of ’80s week as if it were a surgical malady. Or perhaps our DVR knew…
Last week on Dancing With the Stars Kristin Cavallari was eliminated, a moment ABC recognized by tastefully using CGI to blow her up. A white blonde girl was exploded on TV — is this a tactic to distract Nancy Grace? Last night’s theme was movie scores, so we expected plenty…
Last week on Dancing With the Stars (or DWTS for brevity’s sake) America had a referendum on what it meant to be a ‘star’ and kicked off Elisabetta and her partner of indistinguishable European descent. Sorry Betta, you were gone too soon! And by ‘too soon’ we meant before we…
Our initial impressions of Dancing With the Stars last week, the first week we ever watched the series, was mild shock at just how not obnoxious the show is in comparison to its contemporaries. And though we, as fans of crazy people, were upset that Ron Artest was kicked off…
Did you know that Dancing With the Stars is on its 13th season? Or that it’s on for three to four hours a week? You did? Well then you are clearly smarter than we are! Had we known that DWTS was such a time suck, we would have asked to…
Those scamps at Netflix are at it again! First they announce that they are doubling their subscription fee for people who want both the delivery service and streaming. Then they announced that they would be losing streaming rights for many of the major distributors, and they’re making each account unable…
Poor Daryl Hannah. Not only is her first name a boy’s name, but she just got arrested at an environmental White House protest. Cut her some slack, guys. Clearly she’s confused her real life with her life as a mermaid in Ron Howard’s 1984 film Splash and was just trying…
