Network: NBC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: June 14, 2011 I have so many mixed feelings about THE VOICE, that I’m still unsure whether I like how they’re trying to shake up the traditional AMERICAN IDOL formula or if they’re doing a disservice to the singers for not letting the show play out a little longer so audiences can get used to the contestants more. Either way, “Live Show, Quarter-Finals 2” is here and we not only saw four singers go home (two from Team Blake Shelton, two from Team Christina Aguilera), but Team Adam Levine and Team Cee Lo […]Read On »

TV Review: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – “Seattle Auditions 2”

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’s second time around in Seattle almost turned into a complete bust. Act after act disappointed not only the judges and the live audience but likely those watching at home as well. No one seemed worthy of a trip to Vegas, certainly not the “self proclaimed” world record holder of blowing up water bottles – his act was a complete bust. Buffo the priest didn’t hold up much better with his illusionist act, nor did “Kimo presents Madonna” – don’t ask. Don’t these people have friends to tell them not to go on TV and make fools of […]Read On »

Stars: Becki Newton, Greg Grunberg, Constance Zimmer Writers: Colleen McGuinness (“Banana Bread”, “Decent Proposal”), Danielle Sanchez-Witzels & Larry Wilmore (“Eyegasms”) Directors: Wendey Stanzler (“Banana Bread”, “Decent Proposal”), Marc Buckland (“Eyegasms”) Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 9, 2011 After literally crucifying the series premiere of LOVE BITES last week, I felt that this LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE-type anthology series deserved a second chance. After all, debuts of most TV series that turn out to be great, usually decline after that. In this case, there’s no where to go but up, right? Surprisingly, “How To …” is much better than […]Read On »

TV Review: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – “Minneapolis Auditions”

Network: NBC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: June 8, 2011 At first it seems like another joke Howie Mandel is playing on Piers Morgan. AMERICA’S GOT TALENT is about to start and there is no Morgan anywhere. Maybe Mandel has locked him in his dressing room? Or perhaps he gave him the wrong directions to the theater. Nope, none of that, but wouldn’t that have been hilarious? Well, not to Morgan I suppose, instead the truth is because of bad weather Morgan’s flight was delayed from New York and he wasn’t able to make the start of the show. As […]Read On »

Network: NBC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: June 8, 2011 AMERICA’S GOT TALENT heads down south to Houston, Texas where many a talented act performed and got a pass to Las Vegas. Shockingly judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel seemed to agree on almost every act during the first half of a two-hour installment. There wasn’t much tension going on between Morgan and Mandel (Mandel usually can’t get enough of razzing Morgan). They were harmonious in their decision to send through The Rhinestone Roping knife throwing act, The Mona Lisa singing duo, a glow in the dark juggler […]Read On »

Network: NBC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: June 7, 2011 There are two things I’m taking away from THE VOICE as it enters into its first live show of Season 1 and the first part of the Quarter-Finals. 1) All four coaches are afraid to give any kind of constructive criticism to the contestants, just like the current incarnation of AMERICAN IDOL. They’re all about praising the contestants and giving them encouragement, even when they royally screwed up. Granted, it’s not enjoyable to see someone who is being given an opportunity like this to be ripped a new one all […]Read On »

Network: NBC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: June 7, 2011 AMERICA’S GOT TALENT went to the Pacific Northwest – Seattle – to look for talent and got plenty of it and more! The “more” meaning less in this case. Host Nick Cannon stirred up the audience while hosts Piers Morgan – who takes his job very, very seriously, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel – who barely takes notice that he has a job to do, arrive with Hollywood gusto. The AGT show is really about the three of them. Mandel is the goofball who makes light of everything except if […]Read On »

Exclusive: CHUCK star Zachary Levi talks TRON: LEGACY and what Morgan and Check would have thought about the sequel

Garrett Hedlund in TRON: LEGACY | © 2010 Walt Disney Pictures With CHUCK being a very geek savvy show, and displaying the poster for 1982’s TRON in the room of Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) since Season 1, it was a bit strange not to have any mention of TRON: LEGACY in any of the Season 4 episodes. Granted, Warner Bros. owns CHUCK and Disney owns TRON, but couldn’t there have been a little bit of a crossover? While speaking recently with Levi himself, ASSIGNMENT X asked him about TRON: LEGACY and what Morgan (Joshua Gomez) and Chuck probably thought about […]Read On »

TV Review: LOVE BITES – Series Premiere

Stars: Greg Grunberg, Constance Zimmer Writer: Cindy Chupack Director: Marc Buckland Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 2, 2011 The good news, the person who greenlit the new NBC anthology romantic comedy series has long since been fired and a new regime is in place. The bad news, I still had to sit through one of the worst hours of television that I will never get back. LOVE BITES has an unfortunate name, because it’s easy to sum up the show in one easy work. It bites. And it bites hard. The idea of a romantic anthology isn’t […]Read On »

TV Review: THE VOICE – Season 1- “Battles, Part 4”

Network: NBC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: May 31, 2011 When THE VOICE premiered last month, it quickly proved to be one of NBC’s surprise breakout hits. It’s a reality music competition in the vein of AMERICAN IDOL, but the twist is, the “coaches” picked their favorites with the backs turned to the contestants. They were judging them on talent, not by how they looked. It was a great idea, and with strong coaches like Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine (of Maroon 5), it lended some fresh voices and some current pop validity to the […]Read On »
