The only thing better than a trashy but amazing TV show is two trashy but amazing TV shows. This appears to have been the thinking behind NYC Prep, a fly-on-the-wall type US reality show which chucks Gossip Girl and The Hills into a blender, blasts it for about ten seconds and then sets the resulting [...]

Goodness, it’s been quiet around here lately. This may be in part because there tends to be bugger-all on telly during the summer months, because that’s when viewing figures tend to be lower (because people tend to be on holiday or enjoying the sunshine outside) so the schedulers save their big guns up for September.

Something is very wrong on The Hotel Inspector this series. It’s not Alex Polizzi; quite the contrary, she’s really settled into the role now and is obviously having a ball wandering around the struggling businesses and pointing out just how incompetent the current proprietors are.

So it’s all over for another year: the American public voted Kris Allen as their winner (that’s him on the left, looking a little bit surprised by the outcome). I don’t really want to get into the argument of whether the right guy won or not, because there’s already more than sufficient wank about [...]

Blogging about the American Idol finale by the time it comes onto British TV while maintaining an element of surprise always feels a bit of a futile endeavour – after all, surely most people with more than a passing interest will have been on the internet first thing this morning to find out the result.

If you’ve seen anyone wandering around today in a state of some distress, muttering to themselves that they just don’t know what they’re going to do at ten o’clock, they’re probably suffering from Mad Men withdrawal. It’s not exactly a pandemic, but I’ve definitely spotted a few outbreaks of it on my travels this week. [...]

Any reality show judge worth his or her salt has probably had someone shout something along the lines of “if you know so much, why don’t you get up there and do it?” at them at some point. It looks like American Idol’s Paula Abdul has taken this to heart, because in tonight’s Top 4 [...]
