PROJECT RUNWAY MARATHON (3rd season - BRAVO)
I'd never seen this before but The Girl really wanted to catch up with it, so Sun we watched every episode of the 3rd season. What a great show. Even more then America's Next Top Model, you actually learn about fashion and you almost get a better sense of what a model is supposed to do - on Tyra's show you would think that it's all about becoming a star. This show reminds you that the outfits are supposed to be the stars. I loved the fact that this was a much less nasty experience then most reality shows, where everybody hates each other. I forget the name of the girl who tried to rat out Jeffrey, but I loved that she was the first one eliminated in the final. I also loved how full of shit she was to Jeffrey after his investigation proved that he didn't outsource the work on his clothing line. Jeffrey deserved to win - but he now needs to get that neck tattoo removed - he's a skinny guy and it always looks like he has triple chins because of that crazy tattoo.
Grade: B +
STUDIO 60 (NBC)
This show has gotten BAD. I don't mean Michael Jackson bad - I mean...bad bad.
You would think that all of America is peeled to this fictional late night show on NBS! Speaking of which - couldn't they just have said "NBC" and pretended to be some version of SNL instead of a show that doesn't exist? Why is the reporter there to do a "ground breaking" story whose best sketches never even rise to the level of a particularly crummy episode of MAD TV? And if you care whether or not Mathew Perry and the blonde Christian girl get together - then you might have less of a life than me.
Grade: D
EXTREME MAKE OVER (ABC)
The girl with the spider living in her face for 7 months and the deaf guy - both great stories - both had huge rewarding endings. I don't watch these shows regularly, but they do work. I like when they take someone with a legitimate problem over them taking someone who's just - in their eyes - a fashion disaster. They always do the same exact thing - they cut the person's hair really short, give him big fat long fake choppers, and make them look like a generic host of an infomercial. They should really just stick with the true stories of people who truly need the makeover.
Grade: B
SNL: JOHN C. REILY (NBC)
Didn't see the whole thing - but it looked kind of funny. I wonder what studio 60 will do!
30 ROCK (NBC)
This show really works - even Jane Kckaomvweaacrack was better this time around - although, again - Rachel Dracht would've been profoundly better in the role. Tracey Morgan is great, Alec Baldwin steals the show.
Grade: B +
