'Grey's': So a Man, a Fan and a Nun Walk Into a Blog...
Let me set the scene: Today's blogging of "Grey's Anatomy" is brought to you by One Relative Newbie and One Huuuge Fan. And watching this sexed-up drama with us is ... One Nun. From New Jersey. (We know, we know -- it sounds like the opening for a joke.) But...

'Project Runway': Scenes From 'Sex and the Pity'
I. Started. Crying. As advertised, three simple words provided a big surprise last night on "PR4" -- they just weren't the *same* three words that Bravo had been teasing and touting for days through a silky veil of clues. Sarah. Jessica. Parker. THAT was the triple-word Big Score that the...

'Top Model': China, Or Lessons on "Inside Voice"
OMG! The girls from Queens, Texas and Valparaiso have arrived! In last night's episode, six of the "America's Next Top Model" gals land in fabulous Beijing, where it's twinkling, bustling and just like "The Jetsons" (thanks for the poetic description, Chantal). And how do the ladies approach this groundbreaking cultural...

'Project Runway': A Touch of 'Sex & the City'?
Celebrity. Fashion. Icon. We don't know exactly what the criteria are to be considered a "celebrity fashion icon" -- one is (a.) semi-famous; and (b.) generally favors garb? -- but as Week Two of "PR4" struts out tonight, we hear through the television grapevine that a such a creature will...

'Dancing': It's... the Lord of the Cash Register!
So I learned something last night: The world's biggest-selling dance star isn't Baryshnikov. It also isn't Nureyev or Judith Jamison or Mark Morris or Martha Graham or Insert-your-favorite-dance-great here. It's... Michael Flatley. Not sure what that means for the future of our civilization, but it can't be good. Flatley was...

'Dancing': Sugar and 'Spice' and Ditching the Nice
So last night was the semifinals. Which meant that everyone brought their "A" game: Marie's got no shimmy in her shake and she's still cheesy, cheesy, cheesy, but she worked with what she had: continuing in her quest to get acquainted with her hips, losing bits and pieces of her...

'Heroes': Dads! Daughters! And the Regeneration Gap!
Noah goes down. But is he out? He may have been shot in the eye, but it seems that Noah might share daughter Claire Bear's special gift--except the whole regeneration thing takes a whole lot longer. (And just where did he wake up?) Alas, we may not know his fate...

The Strike Pipeline: What Show Will You Miss?
As the WGA's Rich & Powerful Hyphenate Scribes (those savvy actor-producer-showrunner-type writers) and their Long-Unemployed-But-Proud brethren (those whose imdb.com resumes get spotty after "Full House") continue to picket shoulder to shoulder in solidarity, one question bedevils a nation of needy viewers. Not "What are the writers' darned demands, exactly?" Rather,...
