'Grey's Anatomy': Can You Believe This?
We've grown up a lot since ABC aired the last original episode of "Grey's Anatomy" -- it's been a whole month, in which the Hollywood writers' strike has taught us we live in a cold, harsh world filled with evil media conglomerates and self absorbed Hollywood writers who spend their...

'Celebrity Apprentice': Second Date Disappointment
Oh, the first kiss was so great. Maybe because of Gene Simmons, but we won't go there. But the Celeb Apprentice went so pedestrian tonight. First of all, the Rolodex problem is apparently solved by the idea of needing to do an insta-commercial with no time to recruit outside fabulousness....

'The Wire': No Money, Mo' Problems
Things are tight all around in B'more: Budget cuts abound. No overtime at the cop-shop, where folks are pulling double shifts and getting paid for one. Forget about that raise Carcetti promised -- they can't even afford to repair the squad cars. And that case from last season -- the...

'Amazing Race': Nate & Jen, Never No. 1
Sorry, but I continue to feel as though there is no particular team on this Race that gives me any reason to get all enthusiastic. And this week, it was all pretty much more of the same except -- shocker! -- Ron went an ENTIRE LEG without yelling at Christina....
