Yet another conservative victim (and this one’s gay)
As you’ve no doubt noticed conservative Christians are the most persecuted group in all the world, be they female (Sarah Palin), black (Herman Cain) or gay (one of the cast members of Logo’s ode to Amos ‘n’ Andy, “The A-List: … Continue reading →
‘This is Mrs. R. She’s gorgeous!’
Poll-tested and Tea Party-approved, The Anchorman plots a predictably traditional role for his wannabe first lady. “My wife is gorgeous, and she is the brains in the outfit. … I agree with you she’d make a wonderful first lady,” Romney said in response to a question at a town hall in Florida on Tuesday afternoon.

Greed may do ‘The Simpsons’ a favor
“The Simpsons,” which hasn’t been relevant since the end of the last century, may finally be nearing the end. The reason is a negotiating impasse between the studio and the six principal actors who voice the beloved characters on the animated series that hilariously satirizes middle-class Midwestern angst. I’m rooting for greed. There’s no debating [...]
More highlights from the Paul Lynde Halloween special
To capitalize on the then huge song “Convoy” and television show “Movin’ On” there is a musical nightmare where Lynde (in a sequin jumpsuit with enormous lapels) and Conway play truckers dueling for the love of Pinky Tuscadero (Roz Kelly). … Continue reading →

Hollywood is over: Sitcom edition
The scores of promos for “Whitney” during last Sunday night’s Falcons game promised something awful. It delivered. Our heroine is rather less randy, and the central scene of the Whitney pilot concerns her effort to reheat a sex life that … Continue reading →
Humorless queen du jour
Not everyone was amused by Greg the flamboyant kid on “Curb”: Name: Stuffed Animal Date posted: 9/13/2011 4:42:08 PM Hometown: Kansas City Comment: I despise any kind of crude humor that sneers at Gay identity, but it really infuriates me when children are involved. Gay and Transgender kids catch holy Hell from other kids; they [...]
America’s next great comedic talent
That is to say, the first great comedic talent in a long time: Eddie Schweighardt, who played Greg the 7-year-old “Project Runway” fan on the inspired season finale of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Brilliant.

Master of the sitcom
If Ricky Gervais and Larry David aren’t involved, I’m not watching. Don’t even compare the U.S. version of “The Office” with Gervais’. “Extras” was even better. Gervais’ latest sounds extremely promising. The show follows the daily life of a dwarf actor — played by Warwick Davis — who runs a talent agency for fellow dwarves [...]
