http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon Culture at its finest. Dig in. Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:53:10 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en With Easter officially over and Christmas more than eight months away, God needs something to do with all of His free time. I would suggest he finds a clever way to smite Octo-Mom, but apparently the Almighty prefers to waste time the same way we humans do: Facebook. Yes, you can ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/04/17/gods-new-favorite-book-move-over-bible/ I went into tonight's Real World: Brooklyn finale pretty bummed out. This season really surprised me. It was shorter than most, just 13 episodes, but I still feel like we got to know each of the housemates. The final hour gave us the typical last-minute drama in the form of a ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/04/02/shed-a-tear-for-brooklyn/ I hate myself for watching the new 90210, and I hate myself even more for actually liking one of the characters. Erin Silver is crazy. I figured the writers would give Kelly Taylor's little sister a rough ride through high school, but Silver is literally out of her head-piece. In last night's ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/04/01/90210s-silver-lining/ After months of teasing, the extremely patient fans of Desperate Housewives were finally rewarded tonight. The recycling of imagery from previous seasons for Edie Britt's death was nothing short of brilliant. (Bookmark this post. It's the only time I will ever [EVER] refer to this show as brilliant). Bree's second strangling ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/03/23/best-death-ever-if-thats-really-what-it-was/ ...OK, maybe "cool" isn't the right word, but there's definitely something eerie about the quiet success of Jennifer Love Hewitt's Friday night drama. Before I begin my rant, I feel I should admit that I've never actually watched an episode of Ghost Whisperer. As a 21-year-old in college, my Friday nights ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/03/22/when-did-ghost-whisperer-become-cool/ The disconnected poorly-planned wide variety of story lines on Desperate Housewives are always soapy and ridiculous, but rarely do they have any connection to real world current events -- until now. Yes, the effects of our current economic apocalypse have begun to hit Wisteria Lane: Just look at Tom and Lynette ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/03/12/housewives-fail/ I'm still on vacation, but I thought I'd temporarily come out of hiding to remind you all to watch this Thursday's Ugly Betty. Not only is it the last new episode airing before the show's dreaded hiatus, but it also features the long-awaited appearance of Miz Christine Baranski. As previously reported, ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/03/10/preview-cb-gets-ugly/ Hey [somethings] I probably should have said this back on Thursday, but I won't be posting for a bit. I'm in L.A. on spring break until Friday. (Even bloggers need a vacation). Then New York until Tuesday for a conference (and awards -- keep those fingers crossed). Enjoy all of your spring breaks. ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/03/09/brb-2/ Not counting Joanna Pacitti's quiet exit from the show (and who is?), American Idol officially has its first real scandal of season 8! Vote for the Worst posted photos of Top 12 contestant Adam Jonas Lambert engaging in some very un-Idol-like behavior, specifically dressing in drag and kissing "some dude." It's ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/03/03/this-seasons-american-idol-scandal-count-1/ I just finished watching tonight's two-hour Brothers & Sisters "movie" and I think I'm in love with this show again. It's more over-the-top and melodramatic than it's ever been, and yet still I want more. (Just look at Holly on the left. How can you deny the power of those ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/2009/03/02/thank-you-slow-mo-sally/
