"Mermaids: The Body Found": Stranger Than Fiction, Or Just Fiction?

Mermaids: The Body Found

Animal Planet billed it as a documentary. I caught wind of it on Twitter and immediately set my TIVO (or, y'know, the crappy cable company loaner I call a TIVO -- whatever). We put the kiddo to bed, and settled in to watch the two hour Charlie Foley piece Mermaids: The Body Found.  Read more >

TELL ME YOU SAW THAT. Oh, friends I hope you were watching because nothing can fully communicate to you how incredibly, jaw-droppingly, stomach-turningly awkward it was to watch a luscious locked [Idol season five finalist] Ace Young take a knee on national television and propose to [season three runner-up] Diana Degarmo. What followed was a whirlwind of awkward "to camera" professions of shock and excitement and Mickey-and-Mallory twanged shrieks of "OH BABY!"  Read more >

Will this be Year Five in a row with a sensitive white guy winner? Yeah, I said it. Season 11 has been strong, but without someone who made me go "wow!" As we're down to the finals, I wonder who I might have preferred to see there, and other than thinking that Elise is way more intriguing and interesting than we ever really got to see, I can't come up with better. Not from the finalists we ended up with anyway. How about you? Any discarded favorites along the way?There were three rounds on this quick one-hour episode.  Read more >

With 90% of pregnant women reading along, it was a no brainer to turn Heidi Murkoff’s book into a film about the trials and tribulations of pregnancy.  Read more >

For last night’s episode of The Bachelorette (did I mention it’s the 8th freakin’ season?) Chris Harrison had to break it down for the guys so they’d know what they signed up for: (1) there are 2 one-on-one dates up for grabs, (2) if you get a one-on-one, you must pack your bags because you might not get a rose/return to the house, (3) not everyone will get a date, (4) yada, yada, yada…  As if people don’t know the rules by now.  Read more >
