Paula Abdul reports assault: BREAKING NEWS (AOL TV)

Apr 6th 2006 9:13PM Rumors that he screamed "What was the whole melon and cornflakes thing supposed to mean???" are unconfirmed.

Scrubs: My Chopped Liver (AOL TV)

Apr 5th 2006 11:51PM Thought it was a great episode as well, and the "I love cox / Greatest conversation ever" bit might be the best thing this season.

But did anybody else find it weird that they threw in a date rape joke? (Why Perry and Jordan don't go double dating - scene of somebody spiking their drugs with roofies and then saying "party time" after they're unconscious.)

The bunk bed for twins dilemma (ParentDish)

Apr 5th 2006 12:55PM My brother and I are exactly a year apart, so not twins but close enough. we had bunkbeds and switched regularly, I can't remember how often. It's not a traumatic event. The one on the lower bunk can torment his upper brother by stealing his blankets if they droop over the side. (Try to do this on the side against the wall, or else your brother might end up coming down with the blankets.) Or as he gets bigger he can put his feet against the springs over his head and shove. Always fun if upper brother falls asleep first.

And the one on the upper bunk doesn't necessarily have to take the ladder everytime, he can climb up the side of the bed, or get a boost, or stand on his brother's head. Or he could steal his brother's favorite toy and take it up with him into his fortress of solitude, upon which lower brother has to lay seige and be beaten back preferably without falling and killing himself.

Ahhh, good times.


And I Quote: the best one-liners of the week (AOL TV)

Apr 1st 2006 8:55AM Actually my comment made no sense out of context. On Scrubs, JD has setup a surprise party with balloons shaped like babies that he has to immediately call off. He ends up screaming "Abort the babies" right into the face of a catholic priest. Who, then, offers up the "I'm pro choice" line.

It's so much funnier when you have to explain the joke, innit? :)

And I Quote: the best one-liners of the week (AOL TV)

Apr 1st 2006 8:51AM "Abort the surprise! Abort the balloons! Abort the babies!!!" "Sorry about the abort the babies thing."

"Actually, I'm pro choice."

American Inventor: Open casting-calls, part three (AOL TV)

Mar 31st 2006 10:37AM I think it's "BevPlate" as in "Plate that can hold your beverage."

When I saw all the breast implant ladies walking in to talk about their new bra, I thought for sure that Mary Lou was going to go nuts again. But this time she's all about market numbers and cost and she loves the idea. I guess there's no real market for dirty lingerie ala the Naughty Knot from last week? Fredericks of Hollywood would beg to disagree. I guess it's all in the presentation, although bonus points to the one girl that was pulling at the sides of her bra so the New York judge could get a little extra peek from his angle.

Scrubs: My Bright Idea (AOL TV)

Mar 29th 2006 10:35PM Not now Turk, I'm glowbasking.

My friend, we have just LoJacked the janitor.

I am worried for the "Carla's pregnant" thing. Hasn't the introduction of a baby always spelled doom for a sitcom? After Rachel had the baby on Friends it was just ridiculous how sometimes they would remember to write in 'The baby's with my mother...' but for months at a time there'd just be no mention of the baby at all and it would go on as if nothing had happened.

The Apprentice: Cruise Control (AOL TV)

Mar 28th 2006 12:29PM The show has become so arbitrary it's not funny. The judges came right out and said that the problem was the text versus the voice thing. Yet Trump needed an excuse to fire Dan so he comes up with "It was Lenny's idea, and the idea is what cost you the win, so since you didn't bring back Lenny, you're fired."

Now, Lenny might be a moron, absolutely. No one in their right mind would hire him as a manager, or a follower for that matter. He has no charisma whatsoever. But saying that it was his idea that lost the challenge is just plain wrong.

I think Lee needs to go next, myself. Not only for his "Oh look, the boss is here, let me go schmooze and tell him everything that I'm doing" attitude, but for the smirk on his face whenever he backstabs his teammates.

Hey, how about them hot luggage-carrying girls on Deal Or No Deal? (AOL TV)

Mar 27th 2006 9:45PM My favorite is when they peek into the briefcase and then look all pouty and sad, like their case is the one that contains the million, only to open it an unveil $1. Ha! It was a trick! And the audience falls for it *every* *time*.

:)

Another Idol controversy? (AOL TV)

Mar 24th 2006 9:17PM I'm with JimK. With Stevie Wonder he said out in the open that he was "taking inspiration from" (my words) Red Hot Chili Peppers. So why didn't he even mention Live this time? Did somebody whisper in his ear that he'd go farther by being an original?
